Chapter 46 The Cause
Shen Yuerong's eyes shone, and she never left her gaze after taking out the jewelry.

As for what Shen Yuexi said?whatever!

"I know, I know!"

Shen Yuerong took the jewelry from Shen Yuexi's hand and looked at it happily.

"These jewelry are so beautiful!"

Shen Yuexi was about to speak but stopped, "Yue Rong, you must not..."

Shen Yuerong made a sound and interrupted impatiently: "I already know it, sister, please stop being so verbose, your ears are calloused!"

Faced with Shen Yuerong's arrogance and willfulness, Shen Yuexi had no other choice.

"By the way, sister, where did you get the jewelry?"

As Shen Yuerong watched, she couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in her heart, so she started to inquire.

"It's just a coincidence." Shen Yuexi didn't want to say more and casually brought up the topic.

Shen Yuerong couldn't help but be angry.

This time Shen Yuexi ignored him and turned around to leave.

Outside the light curtain, Shen Yubai couldn't help but wonder.

He thought that Shen Yuexi would keep the jewelry to herself, which would be able to support her in living a good life, but in the end, Shen Yuexi's choice was...

Of course, this is not surprising given Shen Yuexi's character. What Shen Yubai didn't understand was that when he went back, he didn't see the jewelry.

There is a vague guess in my heart...

As expected, after Shen Yuerong waited for Shen Yuexi to leave, she secretly put the jewelry into her arms and went to a nearby town along the way.

When she arrived in town, the first thing Shen Yuerong did was to inquire about the location of the store.

A man with a mustache stopped her, "Little girl, you want to pawn something? Come to our pawn shop, we will never let you suffer!"

This man was the owner of a pawn shop. He went out to buy food today, and he never expected to meet a little girl as soon as he came out. Based on his years of experience in looking at people, he was determined to benefit from her.

Thinking of this, the mustached boss smiled even more attentively.

Shen Yuerong tilted her head, "I want it to be jewelry."

The mustache pulled Shen Yuerong to his store, "We can sell everything here, and the price will definitely satisfy you!"

"Come on, let me see what you have on hand."

The mustache looked at Shen Yuerong impatiently.

Shen Yuerong took out all the jewelry she brought, "How much can these cost?"

The jewelry clinked on the table, and his mustache eyes were straightened and shining.

The spirit-like boss showed no emotion, and a flash of calculation quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Ahem." He pretended to check, then cleared his throat and sighed in embarrassment, "Little girl, are you short of money now? Although these jewelry look good, they are not really worth much. money."

Shen Yuerong's expression suddenly fell.

She thought it was so valuable that it was worth Shen Yuexi wasting so much time.

But she had traveled such a long way and was unwilling to just go back, "How much can you offer?"

The mustache gestured, "Eight taels of silver at most. No matter how high it is, I can't get it."

"Boss, are you wrong? Take a closer look!" Shen Yuerong was a little anxious.

"Hey, just think that I have done a good deed today. Since you are a little girl, I will give you another two taels. How about ten taels?"

Shen Yuerong hesitated.The mustache took a strong dose, "If you can't accept this price, little girl, you will have no choice but to pawn elsewhere, but I can't guarantee that other people will be as kind-hearted as me and offer you such a high price." "

Shen Yuerong's last doubt was dispelled.

Everyone outside the light curtain couldn't help but sweat. They had said the word stupid enough.

Just when the deal was about to be concluded, a thin figure broke in and stopped the sinister boss's plan in time.

"Yue Rong, don't be fooled by him, he is simply deceiving you!"

Shen Yuexi snatched the jewelry and kicked the mustache boss viciously.

A good business deal was interrupted by Shen Yuexi, who glared at Shen Yuexi fiercely with a sinister look on his mustache.

At that moment, Shen Yuexi even saw a hint of murderous intent in her boss's eyes.

She protected Shen Yuerong and retreated, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

After Shen Yuexi left the wooden house, she felt uneasy. When she came back, she saw that Shen Yuerong had really left with the jewelry.

She followed the footsteps along the road and followed quietly, and sure enough, it was just as she expected.

But the current situation seems to be a bit beyond expectations, and this pawn shop may not be that simple.

Shen Yuexi was right. This was a shady pawnshop with a backer. Even if others knew about it, they wouldn't dare to point fingers.

"No one has dared to ruin my business yet. Hum, I still have to do this deal today." The mustache looked coldly and waved, and several thugs appeared and blocked the doors and windows.

Shen Yuexi tried her best to stay calm, "Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the government for doing this? You'd better not bully us two young people and let us leave immediately!"

Seeing that his true face was exposed, the eight-character Hu Tuqiong sneered: "So what, I tell you there is no one in this city that I am afraid of!"

Shen Yuexi thought her boss was talking nonsense and wanted to get around it, but she saw him waving his hand and giving an order for the thugs to arrest her and Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong screamed, "Boss, please ignore her, ten taels is ten taels, I'll take care of this business!"

"It's too late now!" The mustache's greedy eyes fell on Shen Yuerong and Shen Yuexi, "I want both people and jewelry. The later one is a little thinner, but I can tell from the bones that she is a beautiful woman. If I sell you, what else can I do? Make a fortune!”

Shen Yuerong was crying and complaining about Shen Yuexi, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I wouldn't have been arrested and I would have gotten ten taels of silver!"

When she thought of these things, Shen Yuerong felt that she was being implicated, and she kept resenting her. She kept scolding Shen Yuexi with vicious words.

Shen Yuexi was injured.

"Yue Rong, I just don't want you to suffer."

Shen Yuerong couldn't listen to anything, and she never thought that the incident itself was caused by her.

Two thin little girls were no match for so many thugs. They were quickly tied up and thrown into the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Mustache and the buyer cleared their money and goods, and it could be heard from his words that he sold them to a group of robbers.

Shen Yubai saw everything on the screen clearly through the light curtain, and couldn't help but worry about Shen Yuexi's situation.

The two little girls were gagged. Although they could not speak, Shen Yuerong's eyes still glared at Shen Yuexi resentfully, like poisoned daggers.

Shen Yuexi lowered her head, but the hands tied behind her back quietly moved.

She sharpened the rope with pieces of wood she had accidentally left behind while chopping firewood.

The carriage bumped all the way, and her movements were very difficult. The calluses on her hands were worn away by the rough rope, and the delicate skin was exposed, and blood slowly oozed...

Shen Yubai turned away, unable to bear to watch this scene.

Taking advantage of this gap, he thought of what happened next. Shen Yuexi probably cut the rope and escaped by herself, and Shen Yuerong was eventually sold.
