Chapter 82: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 82: Punishment (Part 2)
Yan Junyu thought Mo Yan was shocked by his identity and couldn't help but feel proud. "That's right, I am the eldest grandson of the Wu'an Mansion. In the capital, I'm known as the 'Little Lord.'"
With the affirmative answer, Mo Yan wished she could smash the ink jade and ring in her hand onto his smug face.
If it weren't for the Wu'an Mansion back then, her father wouldn't have been framed and suffered. She didn't expect that the person she was trading with this time turned out to be the eldest grandson of the Wu'an Mansion. She didn't know whether to marvel at the irony or lament the depth of her enemies!
Seeing her expression turning unpleasant, Yan Junyu joked, "What, do our families have some grudge?"
"You have quite the imagination!" Mo Yan's eyes twitched, unable to resist glaring at him, but she didn't mention that matter.
Ultimately, that matter had nothing to do with him, and later he personally dealt with Bu Shiren and even had hundreds of taels sent as compensation. If she kept holding onto it, it would seem narrow-minded.
Moreover, with the trade between them now, the Wu'an Mansion was indeed a powerful backer. With this in mind, she couldn't afford to ruin the relationship.
Thinking of this, Mo Yan calmly accepted the reality that she had latched onto a big thigh, which was the Wu'an Mansion.
Yan Junyu didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but he guessed it wasn't a compliment. He couldn't be bothered to argue with a girl and returned to his lazy demeanor. "I've agreed to your request. Now, should you tell me about your potions?"
Mo Yan nodded. Apart from the potion that could bestow intelligence on animals, she briefly explained the ability to stimulate the growth of all things, emphasizing its effectiveness in strengthening the body.
She was sure that this man valued the detoxifying and health benefits of the Spirit Spring water.
Sure enough, Yan Junyu listened very carefully. Without realizing it, he sat up straight, and when Mo Yan mentioned "prolonging life with long-term use," he exuded an excited and joyful aura.
This trade was a success for Mo Yan as she secured the support of a powerful ally, and Yan Junyu obtained what he desired, even better than he had imagined. It could be said that both parties were very satisfied!
"Oh, by the way, your uncle cheated me out of ten thousand taels. How do you think I should punish him?" Before leaving, Yan Junyu shook the evidence of Mo Yongshou's debt agreement, teasing Mo Yan.
Mo Yan was speechless about this person's perverse taste. "You're the creditor, so it's up to you how to punish him!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that your potions still have some use, I wouldn't bother asking you! Since you're ungrateful, consider those ten thousand taels as his thank-you gift to me!"
Yan Junyu never intended to force this girl into submission by using underhanded means. He knew Mo Yongshou wasn't a good person, which was why he had instructed Xiao Qiang to pretend to cooperate with Mo Yongshou's scheme. It was all to express his sincerity during this meeting. He didn't expect this girl to be ungrateful, which really angered him!
Mo Yan believed him and hesitated for a moment before asking, "If you report him, what will happen to Mo Yongshou?"
Seeing her reaction, Yan Junyu glanced at her arrogantly before saying, "According to the laws of Da Chu, those who cheat out over ten thousand taels can be sentenced to death. If they repay the amount, they will be sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane and exile of three thousand miles, never to return."
Mo Yan was greatly surprised. "That severe?"
Yan Junyu gave her a disdainful look without mentioning that if he had agreed to give Mo Yongshou only a thousand taels in the first place, and as long as the money was repaid, he would only receive thirty strokes of the cane and a ten-year prison sentence. He didn't know what she was thinking. He had generously given ten thousand taels. If he wanted a harsher punishment, he had a reason, but judging by the situation, this girl probably wouldn't go through with it!
Hmph, it's all for nothing!
