"You..." Boss Liu was very embarrassed: "Why do you insist on asking for these two hundred taels more, Madam?"
Mrs. Chunliu said: "I, the girls, were originally beautiful and pretty, but now they are just temporarily suffering from a strange disease. Maybe they will be cured when they go to Miss Ruan's place."
Boss Liu shook his head and came back to talk to Ruan Xiangxiang about the price of Mrs. Chunliu.
Ruan Xiangxiang frowned, looking embarrassed.
After fierce bargaining, the two parties finally settled the deal at 880 taels.
After that, there was payment, transfer of property, and the deeds of sale of the girls.
After a whole afternoon, I finally got this done.
When Ruan Xiangxiang returned to Yichun Courtyard again, Liu Yingying rushed out to greet her.
"Miss."
Ruan Xiangxiang patted her hand comfortingly: "Let's go in and see the sisters."
After entering the courtyard, Liu Yingying turned around and closed the door.
"Yingying, call all the girls down, I have something to say."
"yes."
After a while, Liu Yingying called all the girls down.
Ruan Xiangxiang placed a thick stack of deeds of betrayal on the table.
"These are your deeds of betrayal. If any of you have another way out and don't need to follow me, then I can return the deed of betrayal to her."
"What? Miss, are you willing to return the deed of betrayal to us?"
Liu Yingying was a little surprised.
Ruan Xiangxiang nodded: "Yes, you heard it right, take away the deed of betrayal and you will be free."
Everyone was very excited and whispered to each other.
Suddenly, a girl asked: "Miss Ruan, do you need us to pay if you return the deed of betrayal to us?"
Ruan Xiangxiang shook his head: "No need. If you are willing, you can leave immediately with the deed of betrayal. From now on, we will have no relationship whatsoever."
Another girl said: "What's the use of taking the deed of prostitution and becoming free? We've become like this now. No man is willing to want us. Even if we want to go out to make a living, I'm afraid no one will treat us."
.
I'm afraid the only way out of here is to starve to death."
"Yes, when I was a girl in Yichun Yuan, I was not free, but I could still live. Now, even if I am free, I have no chance of survival. It is better to stay in Yichun Yuan."
"Miss Ruan, I don't need to sell myself, I hope you can keep me."
Ruan Xiangxiang nodded slightly: "Of course, if you don't want to leave, you can stay. However, if you choose to stay, you must listen to my instructions and abide by the new rules here."
"If there are any rules, Miss Ruan, just tell me. We people can even abide by the rules of Yichun Court before. Miss Ruan's rules are naturally not a problem."
Ruan Xiangxiang nodded: "Okay, I'll give everyone a stick of incense to think about it. After everyone thinks about it, if you want to leave, go to my room to get the deed of sale and the settlement fee of five taels of silver. If you don't want to leave, just stay here."
In the house, waiting for orders."
After saying that, Ruan Xiangxiang walked to the table in front and lit an incense stick. After that, she went to a room and waited for everyone to make a decision.
After Ruan Xiangxiang left, there was an explosion outside.
"There is also a settlement fee of five taels of silver. Miss Ruan is so kind."
"Are you leaving?"
"Where are we going? Although Miss Ruan is kind and willing to give us five taels of silver as settling-in allowance, is five taels of silver really enough for us to live a lifetime?"
"I can go back to my hometown, but it's a long way from my hometown and there's chaos on the road. I'm afraid that my five taels of silver will be robbed before I even take it home."
