1032: Daring enough to kidnap the Marquis

Daring enough to kidnap the Marquis

Though Wang Shi did not spell it out clearly, Yu Dong was no fool. She could easily sense that something was wrong with the things that Wang Shi said to her just now. Most probably she was threatening to break her limbs and sell her to those rich and old mers who were widowed after the death of their official wives.  1

" And if this isn't to make you submit to me willingly…then I heard that your husbands are quite good as well. Though they are not my cup of tea, I think someone might be interested in them, given how they are taller than most mers… there are a few women who might be interested in them," she paused and chuckled darkly. "It's true that you can run away but I am a persistent woman as well. If you let me down then I will have no chance but to settle the score with you and your family, after all, it's because of you that my restaurant is suffering despite all the efforts that I put it in."

Yu Dong's face sank when she heard Wang Shi threaten her family. She glared at the woman and then said, " You are basically putting my entire family's life in jeopardy. How can I even believe that you will do a fair job while working with me?" 

Hearing this Wang Shi chortled as if she had heard a joke, she wiped the corner of her eyes and then said, " You are pretty naive for such a successful woman, Miss Yu. It's only right for the lower-born people like to become the stepping stones for rich people like us who were born with privilege. It's fine as long as I am giving you enough to survive right? After all, what will people like to do with so much money anyway? It's not like that you can compete with the rich?" 

Just as Wang Shi finished speaking Qiao Sha who was being held at the mercy of the mammy behind her, immediately knocked her down with one swift move. With her hand clutching her wrist, she rolled it around and then groaned, " Ah, not working out for so long had slowed me down considerably." 

She then turned to look at Yu Dong before arching a proud brow and saying, " What are you waiting for autumn festival? Take her down." 

Yu Dong rolled her eyes but she too took down the woman in one swift kick without giving her a chance to bring Yu Dong down. She then turned to look at the mammy and apologized in an insincere manner, " I am sorry," she drawled with a mocking look on her face. " I could have taken you down sooner but I thought that would be a serious blow to your ego which is why I waited till now." 

The mammy on the ground: "…" In all honesty, you shouldn't have bothered. 

Yu Dong then turned to look at Wang Shi and smiled impolitely, " I have to admit that you were really sly but just because your fox tail hasn't been captured it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want." 

" You…"  Wang Shi wanted to tell Yu Dong not to be too happy so soon. But before she could say anything, Qiao Sha took out the sword that she was hiding inside her clothes ever since she left the Big River Village and held it in front of Wang Shi's throat before saying, " Madam Wang, you are under arrest for capturing and illegally detaining the Marquis of the town." 

" Ma...Marquis?" Wang Shi looked at Qiao Shao who smiled and then pulled out her identity wooden plaque that she carried around with her and then showed it to Wang Shi. " Just because I am wearing the clothes of a peasant, it does not mean that I have lost my position as well." 

Wang Shi's expression changed along with the two mammies and to make things worse, the door of the courtyard was kicked open. 

As soon as the door was opened, Wang Shi's aunt along with Song Yixu and Magistrate Li walked inside the courtyard. Wang Shi's aunt looked at her foolish niece and felt like she had lost all her senses, how could she illegally detain the Marquis of all people? Was she looking for a way to die quickly and even if she was looking for a way to kill herself, she should have left her alone. 

Now this matter had dragged the entire Wang family what were they supposed to do now?! 

Wang Mo did not know what happened, all she knew was that suddenly the Yamen officers along with Magistrate Li came to her house saying that Wang Shi had kidnapped Qiao Sha. She thought that the Yamen officers were misunderstanding something but now that she could see that Wang Shi had really illegally detained the Marquis of all people! 

This had to be the biggest joke of their Wang family lives! However, this joke was just too heavy and she couldn't handle it. 

" This is really interesting," Song Yixu couldn't help but chuckle lightly when she saw Qiao Sha in the courtyard. " I thought Master Chen Mi and Master Fang Chi were joking with me when they told me that you were taken away along with Yu Dong. After all, who would be daring enough to kidnap the Marquis but now I have to say that there is indeed a daring soul among us." 

" What is the meaning of this Madam Wang Shi?" Magistrate Li questioned coldly as she looked at Wang Shi.  " Not only did you dare to abduct a commoner but you even dare to take an official along with her. Are you trying to rebel against the authorities? Is that why you chose to do something so daring?" 

" No... No.. I did not know that she is the Marquis, I swear," Realizing that she had been caught in trouble from which she couldn't escape, Wang Shi immediately turned honest. " I only wanted to take Miss Yu——"

" But did you not know that Miss Yu is also under my protection?" Magistrate Li countered interrupting Wang Shi in the middle as she looked at her with an annoyed face. " And so is every other commoner, how dare you act sneaky under my authority! Speak what else have you done!"
