Chapter 188 I’d Rather Get Divorced
If it were merely a shortage of silver, perhaps she could still find a solution through her wisdom and connections, especially in the complex Capital City, where her reputation and influence were not to be underestimated.
However, faced with Da Ya’s resolute heart against returning, the situation was drastically different.
Originally hoping to profit sixty-five taels, she had not anticipated that upon learning of her possible sale to the brothel, Da Ya would go so far as to disfigure herself with firewood, as a way to resist this unjust fate.
This act not only rendered the Dumb Woman’s plans futile, but also resulted in her facing a loss.
Driven by seething rage, the Dumb Woman subjected Da Ya to merciless punishment.
Had the Young Master Tutor not arrived just in time, Da Ya’s plight might have been even more tragic.
Upon hearing all this, Su Yu’s anger was uncontrollable, "Your actions, how are they any different from robbery and plunder..."
Facing the accusation, the Dumb Woman swiftly gestured with her hands, the servant hurriedly translated, "Don’t spout nonsense, every trade of ours is backed by contract documents, we are guilt-free and stand tall even before the law."
With another wave of her arms, the servant quickly followed up, "Now, if you want to take her away, you must compensate with one hundred taels of silver, otherwise, there’s no way we’ll let go. Even if I have to keep her as a secret prostitute, I’m going to recoup this money."
"You..."
The rage in Su Yu’s heart was nearly bursting forth, particularly upon hearing the word "secret prostitute" from such a callous woman’s mouth, it seemed utterly absurd.
