Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556: Settling Accounts (2)

Perhaps with death, I wouldn’t be a burden to others anymore.

Death? As the thought arose, Pei Xiaoxia couldn’t suppress it any longer, casting a longing glance at Yang Baixiang: "Fifth Brother, in the next life, I will still be your bride."

Yang Baixiang was somewhat baffled.

But Pei Xiaoxia turned around, grabbed a kitchen knife, and charged outside.

Yang Baixiang was startled and wanted to give chase, but his leg had been treated and bound with thick bamboo splints in recent days, and he couldn’t walk quickly. In his panic, he fell to the ground: "Xiaxia..."

"Mother, I call out to you one last time. I know I can’t compare to the son you favor. Today, if you leave me no way out, then I will cease to live and we shall perish together." Pei Xiaoxia’s face was stricken with grief and despair. "So I won’t burden others anymore..."

"You unfilial daughter, what are you up to? Come on, kill me if you dare..." Juan Family’s matriarch was startled, but it was just a momentary shock. She quickly sprang up and charged at Pei Xiaoxia, "Let’s see if this matricidal ingrate dares..."

Pei Xiaoxia closed her eyes briefly: "Fine, I can’t commit matricide, but I’ll give you my life then... Everyone sees this, my death is forced by the Pei family..."

"Last time you deceived me like this, and now you still want to bait me with death? Go ahead, die then? Let’s see if you dare..."

Pei Xiaoxia nodded, then raised the knife and slashed towards her own neck.

However, amid the startled cries of the crowd, a clanging sound was heard as a stone flew over and knocked the kitchen knife away.

Du Man made his way through the crowd.

Yang Ruxin stepped forward slowly and picked up the kitchen knife from the ground: "This is meant for chopping vegetables; hitting bone can easily blunt the blade."

"Xinxin..." Seeing Yang Ruxin, Pei Xiaoxia’s eyes lit up, and her tears began to fall.

Yang Baixiang also revealed a smile.

Du Man went over and helped Yang Baixiang up.

Meanwhile, the wailing matriarch of the Juan Family stopped abruptly upon hearing Yang Ruxin’s voice.

The eldest brother of the Pei family, who had been mingling in the crowd, became anxious, thinking how did this femme fatale return? He wanted to slip away, but as he turned, he saw Du Juan standing there with the treasure sword and involuntarily grimaced, quickly turning back around.

Yang Ruxin frowned at Pei Xiaoxia: "You signed a life contract with me; your life and death are in my hands. Doing this means you’re betraying your master, do you understand?"

Pei Xiaoxia bit her lip trying not to cry out.

Yang Ruxin didn’t continue addressing her but instead walked over to the matriarch of the Juan Family: "Old Madam Pei, what grand authority you have. But do you know who owns this shop?"

"This..."

"And, do you know to whom these two belong?"

The matriarch of the Juan Family pursed her lips.

"I hear you’ve been coming here every few days?" Yang Ruxin said with a sly smile, "And after each visit, my shop can’t do business for the better half of the day?"

"I..."

"Do you know how much profit this shop makes in one day?"

The matriarch of the Juan Family shook her head subconsciously.

"Liang Zi, calculate it for her to hear." Yang Ruxin glanced at Liang Zi, who had come along.

Meanwhile, Du Man brought over a chair, put it down, and helped Yang Ruxin to sit.

"The daily profit of our shop ranges between two to five silver," Liang Zi hurried over, "The old Madam here has come a total of eight times before, and today is the ninth. Even calculating with the lowest daily earnings, there needs to be a compensation of eighteen silver..."
