Aunt Yang was also shocked by Wen Chu's behavior. She was a little worried, "What's wrong? Could it be that he is really not a good person?"

Zhao Wenwen was also extremely anxious, and said, "I told you! Although that young man is good-looking, there's no telling if he's really a bad guy, otherwise how could he be hunted down to this extent!"

Even though Song Yu was really pretty, Zhao Wenwen was still more worried about Wen Chu's safety.

Wen Chu was not worried that Song Yusheng might be a bad guy. The people who came to see him today might not necessarily be killers. Perhaps the people from the Song family had already discovered that he was missing.

Wen Chu was afraid that Song Yusheng had ulterior motives. Why would he go to Yunjing Town? Most likely he came to find her.

At first, Father Wen was afraid that someone would come looking for him, so he took her away from Yunjing Town. However, when Father Wen came out of the Taoist temple, he had already traveled around and had little money left. In addition, he had to raise a child, so he couldn't move far away, so he had to move to a nearby town. Later, Father Wen settled down in Zhaojia Village. Seeing that Wen Chu and Aunt Yang's family got along well, he no longer thought about moving elsewhere. After all, in Zhaojia Village, there was Zhao Wenwen who was willing to play with Wen Chu.

In the past, in the village of Yunjing Town, the children didn't like Wen Chu. At that time, Wen Chu was very dull and didn't like to talk. Maybe she was hungry when she was in trouble, so she was a little popular when she was eating. The rest of the time, she was like a little puppet, not crying or making a fuss, sitting on a small stool and playing with her fingers all day long.

Children like this are most likely to be bullied.

But with Old Man Wen around, every time those kids came to bully Wen Chu, Old Man Wen would take his cane and drive them away.

Wen Chu had been stupid for more than a month, and her father was afraid that she would develop some kind of illness, so a lame old man in his sixties acted like a fool all day long to make her happy.

Fortunately, after a while of growth, it finally gained some popularity.

At this moment, whenever Wen Chu thought about Song Yusheng really coming to look for him, he became so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Wen Chu felt a little dizzy and her body couldn't stop shaking. Her appearance scared Aunt Yang and Zhao Wenwen beside her.

"No, sister, what on earth could have happened to scare you like this? It shouldn't be that serious. It really shouldn't be that serious. If he really isn't a good person, just chase him away."

Zhao Wenwen was just hurriedly explaining the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't mean to scare Wen Chu like this!

After sending Wen Chu away, my head became even more dizzy.

There is no other way. If she drives him away, her happy life for the rest of her life will be in vain.

But now, is she really going to go back to Beijing with him? What if he has already guessed her identity? He might want to capture her and bring her to my father in exchange for a reward.

The only person in this world who can get Song Yusheng to come and look for someone is probably her father.

Wen Chu shook her head and slapped herself twice, forcing herself to calm down. Aunt Yang next to her was frightened when she saw her like this, and stared at her as she hit herself.

Wen Chu came back to her senses and looked at the stunned Aunt Yang and Zhao Wenwen. She realized that she had scared them. When she was about to explain, Zhao Er walked out of the house.

When Zhao Er saw Wen Chu coming and saw his wife and children standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and patted Zhao Wenwen's head and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you two standing there in a daze? It's not a big deal. If Chu Niang is scared, why don't you stay at our house for two days?"

Wen Chu immediately refused, "No, it won't work."

This matter cannot be avoided by going to Aunt Yang's house. If Song Yusheng really becomes suspicious, she must leave quickly. What's the point of hiding for just one or two days?

Maybe Song Yusheng had already noticed that something was wrong with her, so he kept asking her to go back to Beijing with him.

She had worked so hard to raise him for so long, spending so much time and energy. Even if she ate vegetables, she would make him eat meat. Even if she wore tattered clothes, she would make him dress decently. If he ran away now without any money, wouldn't she be losing a lot?

How could a person be so unlucky? He just wanted to save others and repay a favor, but he still brought home a disaster.

Wanting it all is the most fatal thing.

She didn't want to go back to Beijing with Song Yusheng, but she also wanted the money that Song Yusheng had promised to repay her.

It really is a dilemma.

Wen Chu finally got on Zhao Er's ox cart and went to town. After all, if she went home like this now, Song Yusheng would definitely notice that something was wrong.

After arriving in the town, she found a corner to squat, because she was always thinking about Song Yusheng, and her expression was not very good. On weekdays, a few familiar aunts would often come to tease her, joking that she might have lost money today.

The young Taoist priest who usually greets people with a smile has a sad face today, as if he is filled with hatred and resentment.

Wen Chu no longer had the mood to joke with others, and he felt low in the spirit when he met people.

She was so worried that she was squatting in the corner in a daze, not knowing how to go back and face Song Yusheng.

Just as Wen Chu was squatting on the ground with a frown on her face, a pair of bamboo green and gold-carved boots appeared before her eyes. She raised her eyes and saw Lin Sujian.

Lin Sujian was still as charming as usual, with a calm face, and didn't seem to be angry about the household registration issue. She stood up, patted her legs that had been numb from squatting for a long time, and asked, "Mr. Lin, what did you come to see me for today?"

She didn't know why Lin Sujian came this time, but after offending him last time, she felt a little uneasy when she saw him again. Could he have been waiting here for many days, waiting to catch her as soon as she showed up?

Wen Chu forced a smile on his face and said in a very kind voice: "Mr. Lin, are you angry about what happened last time? If you are unhappy, let's go have a meal together, or I can tell you your fortune. Don't bother me, okay?"

Lin Sujian chuckled, looking even more charming. He said, "Wen Chu, am I so petty in your eyes?"

Lin Sujian's tone was quite easygoing, but Wen Chu still felt uncomfortable. This man was decent when they first met, but after many times, his arrogant attitude as a disciple from a high sect gradually emerged. In Wen Chu's eyes, he and Zhang Chenghu were the same kind of people, and he was really afraid that he was a narrow-minded person.

Even though she was thinking this in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. She quickly smiled and said, "How could that be true! I know I have gone too far. If Master Lin can forgive me, that would be great! But I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Sujian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Miss, do you know who the person you rescued is?"

When Wen Chu heard what Lin Sujian said, she was immediately shocked. Could it be that he also knew something? Could it be that Song Yusheng's identity was exposed? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. The last time they went to the county government office, it might have been at that time that someone discovered something was wrong.

Wen Chu could no longer hold back her expression, so she could only pretend nothing had happened. She asked, "Who is that? Who else could it be? Looking at him, isn't he just a young man in trouble?"

"No, he is not a young master from an ordinary family." Lin Sujian said.

Wen Chu was completely disappointed. It seemed that Lin Sujian really knew about it. But why did he come to tell her? She was still stubborn and asked, "Who is he?"

Lin Sujian said, "As for who it is, I really don't dare to reveal it. I just want to say that my father is looking for this person. If the young lady can hand this person over to us, I will definitely reward him handsomely."

Wen Chu was stunned by what he said. The rest of the words went in one ear and out the other. She only heard the four words "a generous reward". She still had some reason and was not blinded by the money. She asked, "I will hand him over to you? But what if you harm him?"

This man wanted Song Yusheng for no apparent reason. Wen Chu felt that if she really handed Song Yusheng over to him, wouldn't that be selling him out for money?

Although she wants money, she is not so crazy!

Lin Sujian said, "Don't be afraid. This man is just the son of my father's teacher. I am doing this just to please my father. If you don't believe me, I can pay you a deposit of 100 taels. Later, the remaining 400 taels will be handed over to us whenever you are willing to give him to us."

Wen Chu said: "Hey, hey, this is not a question of money."

"Then two hundred taels first."

She asked, "So what you mean is, if I give the person to you now, can you just give me five hundred taels?" Just by adding a hundred taels, Wen Chu's moral bottom line was completely broken.

Lin Sujian originally thought that Wen Chu would hold on, but who would have thought that in her heart, this man couldn't even hold on to a hundred taels.

He said, "Of course, but if you give this man to my family, your kindness in saving his life will be invalid. This man will be considered saved by us. What do you think?"

Wen Chu understood what Lin Sujian meant. She snapped her fingers and said, "I understand! You mean, these five hundred taels are to buy favors, right? He was going to repay me, but now he's going to repay you?"

Lin Sujian nodded and said, "That's pretty much what I meant."

Wen Chu thought carefully, the Duke is indeed the boss of most people, the Censor is a very important official here, in the eyes of the Duke, it is indeed just so-so. And if Lin Sujian really wants to buy the favor with 500 taels, it is reasonable.

Even if she thought everything was fine, what if Lin Sujian lied to her? What if they were political enemies of the Song family? What if they were going to kill Song Yusheng this time? A series of questions popped into her mind. No, no, Wen Chu quickly rejected these thoughts. If they were political enemies, why would they spend five hundred taels to buy the old man's favor? They could just have someone kill her at her house.

Thinking of this, she felt relieved a little, it should be okay.
Forget it, never mind. Selling En to Lin Sujian was not bad. She got the money and didn't have to follow Song Yusheng to Kyoto. Moreover, she didn't do anything bad. Song Yusheng had said that he would repay her. She accepted the five hundred taels from Lin Sujian, so he would repay the Lin family. For Song Yusheng, it didn't matter whether he was repaying her or repaying himself.

It would be unreasonable for her to refuse such a good thing.

She said, "Okay, but can you give me the money today? As long as you give me the money today, I will leave home immediately. He did say that he would repay me. I will leave today, and you can go to him tomorrow to ask for his favor."

She didn't want to delay any longer. If she could get the money today, she would leave immediately. Otherwise, staying for another day would be risky.

Seeing how straightforward she was, Lin Sujian knew that she had no feelings for the man, and this was a good thing.

He smiled and said, "Okay, but I want you to write it down on paper. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will admit it, and if he doesn't, he'll say we tricked him."

There was something a little weird about Lin Sujian's smile, but Wen Chu didn't notice it at all.

Even though Lin Sujian was not as noble as Song Yusheng, he thought he was not much worse, not to mention that he was the eldest son favored by Lin Ping, and he was even more arrogant. Song Yusheng fell in love with Wen Chu? But he did. Song Yusheng's behavior in the county government office last time made him uncomfortable, so he had to take revenge. But he couldn't offend him blatantly, so he did this. Lin Sujian wanted to let Song Yusheng know that even though Wen Chu lived with him for two months, she had no feelings for him, and she would betray him so easily for five hundred taels.

When Song Yusheng saw the written document signed by Wen Chu, he would know that Wen Chu had no feelings for him. In her eyes, he was not even worth five hundred taels. Besides, he helped Song Yusheng repay the favor he should have done to Wen Chu. Song Yusheng should thank him. And this would help his father solve the problem of finding someone. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

As for Wen Chu
Lin Sujian always wants to get what he wants.

He did have evil thoughts about Wen Chu, and he wanted to take it step by step, but Song Yusheng's appearance that day made him lose his sense of proportion. He didn't want to wait any longer. Zhang Chenghu was right. He was just greedy for her looks. He didn't care whether she was willing to do anything or not.
Besides, doesn’t she like money? She can sell that man for money, so why can’t she be with him?

He said nothing more, and took out a five-hundred-liang silver note from his pocket. He smiled and said, "Write the receipt and I'll give you the money."

Wen Chu's eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she nodded quickly. The two of them found a small calligraphy and painting stall, and Wen Chu wrote what Lin Sujian wanted.

Finally, she stamped her fingerprint and gave it to Lin Sujian. Lin Sujian was also very straightforward and gave her the banknote.

Wen Chu received the money and felt a little elated. She smiled and said, "Well, I will leave tonight. Master Lin, just take your father to look for the person tomorrow."

She was immersed in the joy of counting money and did not notice that there was something strange in Lin Sujian's eyes.

Dong Yue, who was hiding in the dark, listened to the entire conversation between Wen Chu and Lin Su Jian.

He was called over by Song Yusheng to keep an eye on Wen Chuxie to prevent those people from last time from causing trouble, but he inadvertently overheard the conspiracy of the two.

Selling favor?? She just sold out the favor of their master?!
It’s only worth five hundred taels?!

What if that person is a bad guy? Isn't she pushing their master into the fire pit?
Dong Yue was so shocked that her mouth almost couldn't close. She thought this woman was really crazy. How could she be so short of money? !
Fortunately, her master wanted to take her back to Kyoto, but she sold her master to someone else just for a mere five hundred taels.

Dong Yue did not step forward to stop it, but just watched secretly, preparing to tell Song Yusheng about it when she returned.
