Chapter 113: Stunned and taken away
After the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone started their busy lives again.
After breakfast that day, Huizhen's mother sent Zhao'er to the private school, while Huanyan and Huizhen each rushed to a workshop, leaving Jinchu alone at home.
Thinking that the newly improved powder was already ready, she simply took a few bottles with her and prepared to go to the beauty shop to discuss with Li Meiniang, and then ask her to find someone to try the effects of this batch of improved powder.
She packed her things, locked the gate, and walked quickly towards the beauty salon.
When I walked to a relatively secluded alley, I suddenly saw a couple in their forties looking back and forth.
When the two men saw Jin Chu at the corner of the alley, they walked towards her as if they had found a savior. Jin Chu remained calm and slowed down her pace.
The woman spoke with a smile on her face, "Hello, young lady! My husband and I are here from our hometown to visit my aunt. Her family moved to Anju Lane last year. We've been looking around for a long time today but still can't find her new address. May I ask if you know where Anju Lane is located?"
"Walk to the end of this alley, turn south, and the next parallel alley is Anju Lane." Jin Chu said concisely and continued walking forward.
"Okay, thank you for showing me the way, young lady." The woman thanked Jin Chu and winked at the man subtly, but she continued to follow Jin Chu closely and move forward.
"Miss, are you going to the main street of Fucheng? If my wife and I follow you, can we also get to the next alley?" The middle-aged woman came closer and looked at Jinchu with a smile.
Normally, she had already explained the location of Anju Lane very clearly. The woman in front of her should have been following the route to visit relatives, but now she was sticking to her, which made Jin Chu suddenly feel a little alert.
Jin Chu stopped and refused calmly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, big sister. I'm not going the same way as you two."
"You are such a beautiful girl, have you ever been engaged? I have a nephew who is almost seventeen this year..."
The woman changed the subject and approached Jin Chu again, as if she was unaware of Jin Chu's rejection.
There is something wrong with this woman!
Jin Chu didn't want to say anything more and turned around quickly. Suddenly, he felt the handkerchief in the woman's hand waving towards him. His head buzzed and his body went limp as if he lost control.
At the last moment of my memory, I heard the woman's smug laughter: "Little girl, you're quite cautious. Unfortunately, the moment you opened your mouth, the drug started to take effect!"
Looking at the girl who fell limply, the woman ordered the man: "Quick, while there is no one around, quickly pull the mule cart over! The master is still waiting at home!"
The man drove the mule cart over and helped the woman put Jin Chu into the cart. Then he whipped the mule cart and drove away quickly.
When Jin Chu woke up again, he saw a dark green curtain with light green gauze curtains hanging around it.
"Awake?" A voice sounded not far away.
Jin Chu endured the pain all over her body and struggled several times to sit up, but it was still in vain. Finally, she could only helplessly turn her head to look at the man next to her and ask, "Who are you? What is your purpose in bringing me here?"
The man stood up and walked over, looking at Jinchu: "I am Li Zhongxian, also known as Mr. Li in your mouth."
Jin Chu's pupils suddenly shrank. It turned out that this was Mr. Li, whose name he had heard of for a long time but had never seen in person!
He was tall and strong with a handsome appearance, which was far from the image of Mr. Li as a vindictive and moody person as spread by the outside world.
It seems that the saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" is true!
Seeing Jin Chu's sudden realization, Li Zhongxian raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. "As for the purpose of bringing you here, it's hard to explain in a few words. But don't worry, Miss Jin'er. As long as you cooperate, I will find you a good place. From now on, you will live a life of luxury, with a high bed, soft pillows, delicious food, gold and jade, and servants surrounding you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few words popped up in Jin Chu's mind: "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"
She couldn't help but sneered: "May I ask, Master Li, what kind of cooperation do you mean by obedient cooperation?"
"How can a mortal man be worthy of such a beauty as yours! Staying in this small Lincheng is simply a waste of your beautiful appearance. How about I give you a great opportunity and send you to the capital to serve the nobles?"
Jin Chu was furious, but her face showed fear: "I am a humble girl, clumsy and weak, and I dare not have the delusion of marrying a noble man."
Li Zhongxian turned around, carefully examining the girl on the bed for a moment, then said with a forced smile, "If I say you have it, then you have it! Besides your older brother, who's been missing for years and still has no word, you also have a younger brother who's barely a child. Life must be tough for you, a lone girl, raising him, right?"
Mr. Li knows so much about the family situation, he must have been keeping an eye on me for quite some time.
She might not be able to have an easy time today!
Jin Chu felt disappointed, and sighed that he had forgotten the evil nature of human nature after living a peaceful life. He thought that Sun had given up looking for him, but it turned out that she had already reported his whereabouts to Mr. Li.
"Now that I've found you, your blessing has arrived! I'll take care of your brother from now on, so you won't have to go back to that family. Just stay here and rest assured. I'll find someone to teach you well, and when you've finished your studies, I'll personally escort you to the capital."
Li Zhongxian lowered his voice and tempted Jinchu: "If you are lucky enough to catch the nobleman's eye and gain his favor, and if you can give birth to a child, then your future life will be high and prosperous, without worries!"
This Li guy really has bad intentions. He must have long seen that Jinchu is an orphan girl with little power and can be easily taken advantage of.
That's why he brought her here today after knocking her unconscious, and threatened Zhao'er's safety to force her to submit, but in his words he praised himself as Jinchu's benefactor, confusing right and wrong, being shameless, but he had a good plan!
The most urgent thing is to stabilize this person first and see if she can make proper arrangements for Zhao'er and Huanyan. Without Zhao'er as a concern, she will be able to calm down and deal with Li Zhongxian.
Then, Jin Chu changed his tone to pleading: "Master ordered me to be brought here suddenly today, and my younger brother and friends at home are unaware of it. Since Master wants me to go to the capital willingly to serve the noble, you must allow me to go home first to comfort my younger brother. Only when he has no worries in his heart can he serve Master wholeheartedly."
Seeing Li Zhongxian's hesitation, Jinchu continued to persuade him, "If my family is in turmoil, I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate on my studies during this period. If this angers the nobles in the capital, then this happy occasion will turn into a disaster, won't it?"
Li Zhongxian stepped forward and grabbed Jinchu's jaw. His eyes were cold and fierce, and he instantly turned into a ferocious monster. He scolded, "You little bitch, how dare you threaten me?"
This guy's grip was so strong that Jin Chu felt like his bones were about to break.
She calmed her head, still a little groggy from the lingering effects of the drug, and said fearlessly, "Even ants are greedy for life, let alone humans? You know how much my youngest brother holds a special place in my heart, yet you want me to put everything aside and serve you wholeheartedly. How could such a good thing happen in this world?"
