Chapter 1062 - 1056: Abducted to Become the Bandit Chief’s Wife
Miss Du slightly bent her knees in a curtsy and said, "I am Miss Du, the Shopkeeper of Manxiu Building. It’s my first time taking this road, and I am not quite acquainted with the local customs. I ask for understanding from Shopkeeper Yu."
Being born a young lady of noble repute, every gesture and movement of Miss Du exuded a distinct aura that set her apart from ordinary people, which provoked wild thoughts among the bandits.
"Your first time, eh?" Shopkeeper Yu said with a smile that did not quite reach his eyes, lowering his voice in a manner that, combined with the scar on his face, seemed lecherous and vulgar.
He snatched the silver note from Miss Du’s hand and, without even looking at it, stuffed it into the hands of a bandit behind him. He then addressed Miss Du, "Everyone has a first time, Miss Du. Business isn’t easy, and making money is a man’s job. You, a delicate lady, should instead stay home, tend to your husband, and teach your children. I happen to be lacking a lady to manage my stronghold—why don’t you join me in the mountains, Miss Du? You’ll certainly not lack for exotic delicacies and wearing gold and silver!"
Miss Du’s face turned pale instantly as she took several steps back, exclaiming, "You shameless cur!"
Cuiya, loyal to her mistress, immediately stepped in front of Miss Du, saying, "Audacious bandits, dare not be disrespectful to my mistress!"
The bandits laughed instead of getting angry, eyeing the maid and her mistress with mocking laughter.
Shopkeeper Yu said, "This maid has quite the spicy temper; brothers, it seems we have stumbled upon a treasure this time."
