Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1942 - 1949: Rescuing Yu’er (Part 6)

She could recognize this voice, it was clearly Liu Xi’s.

If it were in the past, and she knew Liu Xi was dining in the same restaurant as her, she would definitely think it was bad luck and spit on the ground. But through recent interactions, she found Liu Xi wasn’t as bad as she imagined. At the very least, he helped her deal with that scumbag Li Sheng and rescued her from Madam Li’s identity. In a sense, he could even be considered her benefactor!

The restaurant’s soundproofing wasn’t good, and she could hear everything happening outside clearly. She heard Liu Xi entering the private room next door, with a man he referred to as Mr. Huo constantly apologizing and toasting him.

"Eunuch Liu, sorry to bother you. I’ll penalize myself with a drink, Eunuch Liu, feel free."

Huo Qi downed his wine cup in one go. Seeing this, Liu Xi took a small sip and said, "The Za Family is very busy, Mr. Huo, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Huo Qi accompanied by a smile, said, "In fact, I invited Eunuch Liu here for nothing else but the matter we discussed last time."

Last time, Huo Qi wanted to acquire Liu Xi’s property through a mortgage, but Liu Xi flatly refused. Hearing him bring it up again, Liu Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Mr. Huo have the silver?"

Huo Qi awkwardly said, "Uh... no..."

"Then what did Mr. Huo invite the Za Family here for?"

"Hehe, Eunuch Liu, I’m willing to offer you an additional ten percent above what Eunuch Liu asked, just hoping you’d agree to the payment method I proposed, you see..."

Before he could finish, Liu Xi interrupted him, "Mr. Huo, I said that all of the Za Family’s properties are sold only with payment in full. Did Mr. Huo forget the Za Family’s words?"

"Uh, no, I just thought, eh? Eunuch Liu where are you going? Eunuch Liu... Eunuch Liu..."

Huo Qi was just about to explain further, but saw Liu Xi already standing up, grabbing the cloak from the coat rack, and leaving without even a glance back.

Watching Liu Xi leave the room, Huo Qi spat hatefully: "Pah, dead eunuch, what’s he pretending for? Today, something good is coming his way."

After cursing, he called over the little boy beside him, and whispered: "Go see if that dead eunuch has gone far? If he’s far away, quickly dump the incense from this incense burner, don’t let anyone see."

He pointed to the wine cup that Liu Xi had just drunk from and said: "And smash this wine cup in a no man’s land and bury it, if anyone sees, I’ll sell you to Xianggu Pavilion, making you a pimp for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this, the little boy was so scared that his skin tightened, and hurriedly ran off to follow the master’s instructions.

Liu Xi came out of the private room, wearing his cloak, was walking out when he suddenly saw two sneaky men supporting an unconscious woman coming out from the next-door private room. When they saw him, both men jumped in fright and were ready to hide.

Liu Xi initially didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs, but the men’s actions were too sudden, making him glance over, and with just that glance, he saw an acquaintance—Shen Juhua!

At this moment, Shen Juhua was already unconscious, being supported by two obscene men, unaware of where she was being taken.

Seeing Shen Juhua, Liu Xi couldn’t ignore it, he stopped in his tracks and coldly said, "Who are you people? Why are you pulling and dragging a good woman?"

One of the men supporting Juhua felt a bit guilty and wanted to explain, but the other retorted harshly, "Get out of the way, it’s none of your business, dare to meddle in my affairs again, and I’ll beat you until your teeth scatter all over the ground."

Another man, encouraged, shouted, "Yeah, it’s none of your business, this is a courtesan we brothers have from the brothel, taking her out for fun, what do you care—ouch—"

Before he could finish speaking, he clutched his eye and screamed.

Liu Xi retracted his fist and said coldly, "If you’re wise, get out immediately, or I’ll beat you so badly your own mother won’t recognize you."

The two men, seeing Liu Xi’s menacing demeanor, chickened out, hesitated, placed Juhua on the ground, and fled swiftly.

Liu Xi looked at Juhua lying on the ground, then at the cold floor, hesitated for a moment, crouched down, picked her up, and brought her back to the chair in the private room.

"Don’t drink if you can’t handle it, if I hadn’t stumbled upon you today, you’d be crying." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

While carrying Juhua, he smelled the scent of liquor on her and scolded disapprovingly.
