Chapter 314: Chapter 315 How Many Silver Taels Is She Worth (Second Update)_1

The Director led Nan Feng and Ye Ge to a living room.

There was a chubby man, about fifty, seated in the middle of the living room. That was probably Master Zhang. Upon seeing Nan Feng and Ye Ge, one a young girl and the other a house guard, he couldn’t even be bothered to stand.

Master Zhang addressed Ye Ge first, "As a guard to Song Cheng, instead of staying by his side, you come here for a mere servant. How fitting is that?"

It seemed the Director had already said something to Master Zhang.

Ye Ge responded calmly, "Mr. Song always loves the people as his children and doesn’t want anyone to suffer. He will understand my actions."

"Hmph! A dog meddling in a rat’s affairs," Master Zhang turned to Nan Feng, "I’ve heard Lin Qiaoyun is your stepmother?"

"Yes, she is currently my stepmother."

"Nonsense! She was born in my house and will die as a ghost of my house. When did she become your stepmother? As her master, I do not agree with this!"

Nan Feng smelled something fishy and asked Master Zhang, "Even if she signed a contract to sell herself, she can still redeem herself. Can you please bring out Mrs. Yun’s contract so we can compare? Let me see how much silver she is worth, and I’ll repay you double. Would that be acceptable?"

"Compensation?" Master Zhang scoffed, "No amount will convince me to let her go. A woman who suffers punishment for not respecting men, I was kind to her, yet she attempted to run off with a stranger. Not going to happen."

"Master Zhang, what do you mean by that?" asked Nan Feng.

"I mean that she’s my woman. Her alcoholic husband sold her to me, she served me. Later, when she wanted to move out, I even let her. I was so good to her that the only thing missing was to make her my concubine. And how does she repay me? Tell her, if she wants to leave, she can. But she has to come back first. I’ll break one of her legs and then give her back the contract!"

"..."

After leaving the Zhang Residence, Nan Feng looked quite bitter.

It turned out that Lin Qiaoyun had kept some things from them.

And she suspected it wasn’t that simple.

Nan Feng looked at Ye Ge, who was silently accompanying her, then she chuckled bitterly, "Isn’t this a tricky situation? It seems like even if we were to lodge a complaint with the government it wouldn’t be on our side, right?"

Ye Ge nodded quietly, "The government asks for evidence, and the laws of Dajin do allow for the buying and selling of people. Mrs. Yun’s contract was also signed by her, so if she wants to redeem herself, she needs Master Zhang’s permission. But the situation now is that Master Zhang doesn’t agree, and he has the contract, so the evidence is with him. Therefore, Song Cheng can’t make a decision on Mrs. Yun’s behalf."

Nan Feng said in resignation, "I knew this would happen. It seems my father’s wish to remarry will face some obstacles. If we forcibly take Mrs. Yun away, Master Zhang won’t let it go easily. He’s quite a known figure in Ping County. Offending him might mean I can no longer run my shop."

Ye Ge acknowledged her words and then asked Nan Feng, "Are you willing to give up on Mrs. Yun then?"

"No," Nan Feng denied immediately, "My father has been very happy these past days. Every time he mentions Mrs. Yun, he has a look of utter happiness on his face. I believe he can’t bear to let go of Mrs. Yun either. As for Mrs. Yun, whatever happened between her and Master Zhang... I need to go back and ask."

Just as Nan Feng was about to leave, Ye Ge suddenly grabbed her hand. She turned to look at Ye Ge and asked, "What is it?"

Ye Ge looked seriously at Nan Feng, "Nan Feng, everyone has a past, Mrs. Yun included."
