Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 31: Borrowing His Reins to Tie His Donkey

Danniang's nickname "Snow Jade" is to describe Fan Danniang's skillful means of setting traps and defrauding people of their money.

After the deed was done, she left without a care in the world, and the victim was still confused and had no idea that he had been cheated.

It is like jade hidden in the snow, with no trace left. Hence the name "snow jade". Dear readers, please do not get the wrong idea.

Dan Niang said with a gloomy face: "That's right! If he didn't know my background, why would he come to my house and force me to help him set up a 'honey trap' with both soft and hard tactics?"

Dan Niang told Qingtang what Yang Yuan asked of her.

Qingtang became even more nervous.

This Qingtang is not the waitress of the "Shuiyunjian" restaurant. She was adopted by Dan Niang, a kind of relationship between an adopted daughter and a disciple.

Just like when Aunt Rao adopted Dan Niang, she brought her up and educated her since she was a child.

Dan Niang wanted to make one last fortune in "Shuiyunjian" and then retire with Qingtang.

She also brought Qingtang to "Shuiyunjian" to cooperate with her in her actions.

Qingtang said nervously: "Sister, let's run away quickly!
Take as much valuables as you can, and leave immediately, fly away!

The world is so big, I don't believe we can't find a place for us to hide."

Dan Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Since Mr. Yang knows my background, do you think we can still escape?"

Qingtang suddenly thought of the strange guests who beat up Father Fan's family. They...

Could they be Yang Yuan's men?

That's right! As soon as Yang Yuan left, two of the three of them immediately followed him out!
Now there is still one person left, acting suspiciously there. What is his purpose in staying?

Qingtang immediately told Dan Niang about his discovery.

Dan Niang originally had only 60% to 70% suspicion, but now she was finally completely certain.

Dan Niang took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "Sure enough, he knows my background!
They secretly or overtly arranged for someone to keep an eye on me. We can't leave now."

Qingtang said with a sad face: "It's all because of that short-lived ghost of Shopkeeper Fang. He didn't die sooner or later.
He died at that time, so we couldn't leave even if we wanted to. It's really infuriating!"

Dan Niang smiled bitterly and said, "It's the time and the fate. Fortunately, Yang Yuan still wants to use me.

In the future, you should be lenient towards me, right?"

If I handle this matter perfectly, maybe... he will let me off the hook... right?"

Dan Niang was not sure whether Yang Yuan would destroy the bridge after crossing it.

When I think about why I ended up in this situation, I feel helpless.

Dan Niang set up this "honey trap" for the other shopkeeper, but in fact she wanted to release the other party's "white dove", which is also a "literary scam".

She had originally planned to retire after swindling some betrothal money, but she would have made one mistake after another and ended up in such a passive position.

It turned out that a year ago, Aunt Rao died when she was trying to cheat a wealthy businessman.

The so-called force fraud is to lure people into taking the bait with sex appeal, and then when the man undresses and wants to go out for a stroll,

Then several big men would suddenly rush in, claiming to be the woman's relative or husband, and extort money from her.

If you don’t give it to me, I will beat you up. If you still don’t give it to me, I will bite you back and send you to the authorities for prosecution.

Unexpectedly, the businessman was very shrewd and had a quick temper.

At the critical moment, he discovered something strange and in a rage, he accidentally strangled Aunt Rao to death and even destroyed her body to vent his anger.

Dan Niang was sold by her parents and had no choice but to follow her master and do this business.

In her heart she had never liked the idea of ​​deceiving people for a living.

When she was young, she could not resist and could only follow her master to be a "loafer". After she grew up, she gradually began to think about changing her job.

This time, Aunt Rao's death became the fuse that stimulated her to make up her mind to retire.

Dan Niang was determined to take her adopted orphan Qingtang away from the gang.

She didn't want to be like her master, Aunt Rao, who lost her virginity in a "beauty trap".

During a certain plan, he was tragically killed.

But because her parents have been blackmailing her for the past few years, she has no money at all. How can she survive if she leaves?
In view of this, Dan Niang decided to do one last job and sneak into "Shuiyunjian" to work as a bartender, and then seduce the shopkeeper Fang.

How could Fang, an old widower, resist the charm of Dan Niang?
With just a few words and a flirtatious glance, Dan Niang managed to make Shopkeeper Fang fall completely in love with her.

But he didn't expect that on his wedding night, he went to see off a guest while drunk, and on his way back he slipped and fell into the lake and drowned!
I swear to God, Dan Niang really just wanted to "scam" people with her writings. The death of Shopkeeper Fang had nothing to do with her.

At that time, Dan Niang had already asked Qing Tang, who was cooperating secretly, to hire a small boat, and was about to leave with the betrothal gifts.

As a result, Shopkeeper Fang died.

When the drunken Shopkeeper Fang came back from seeing off a guest, he stepped on empty air and fell into the lotus pond by the lake.

It was dark at night and no one could find him.

Only two of Fang's feet were standing on the water. At night, he looked like a piece of seaweed, swaying with the waves...

It was not until dawn that everyone noticed the pair of feet emerging from the water.

As a result, Dan Niang was in an awkward situation and she couldn't leave.

If she dared to leave at this time, the death of Shopkeeper Fang would definitely be blamed on her.

Dan Niang failed to "stand up" her, so she had to dress in mourning and pretend to be the widow of Shopkeeper Fang.

As a result, Manager Fang's huge family business fell into Dan Niang's hands.

After the funeral, Dan Niang thought carefully and it seemed...there was no need to leave?

She originally wanted to swindle some money, then retire and take Qingtang back to her legitimate business.

Now that she has such a large and legitimate business, why should she continue to look for another one?

It was not until the Fang clan members came knocking on her door that she realized it was not so easy to take advantage.

When her vampire parents appeared before her again, she was in an even greater dilemma.

At this time, Yang Yuan appeared.

But Yang Yuan actually knew her background and was obviously just using her.

After Yang Yuan has taken advantage of her, will he then turn against her?
Dan Niang is now in a dilemma where she can neither leave nor stay. She feels physically and mentally exhausted, and as if she is suffocating.

Qingtang thought carefully for a while, but suddenly his almond eyes lit up.

"Sister, I think we don't need to worry about Mr. Yang abandoning his donkey after he has done his job."

Dan Niang was at a loss, and when she heard these words, it was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

Dan Niang asked hurriedly: "Why do you say that?"

Qingtang said proudly: "He has something on us, right? Then let's set up a 'beauty trap' for him!

With your appearance, figure, and means, sister, are you afraid that you won't be able to find something to hold against him if you decide to deal with him?
As long as you can catch him and use his bridle to tie his donkey,
Are you afraid that he will kill you, the little donkey, after he finishes his work and takes off his gear?"

Right!

Encouraged by her little apprentice, Dan Niang's eyes gradually brightened.
