The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 305 Even if she screamed her lungs out, no one would come to save her.

Then, Zhiwan opened the purse and counted the money, finding that there were only twenty taels inside.

However, the thought of selling Zeng Jiayi for a pittance of twenty taels made her feel very happy, and the pain in her body also subsided considerably.

Zeng Jiayi wanted to sell her to that brothel where people would abuse her, but did she ever think that she would end up like that?
Judging from the conversation between the two people just now, Zeng Jiayi and they are old acquaintances. Moreover, Zeng Jiayi has sent many innocent women to their Ecstasy Tower and done so many immoral things. Now she is finally reaping the consequences of her evil deeds.

Zhiwan was in a good mood.

Besides the twenty taels she got from selling Zeng Jiayi, she also found thirty taels on Zeng Jiayi's body when she changed her clothes earlier.

Ten taels of it must have been given to Zeng Jiayi by Tong Dana in the small town the day before yesterday.

She also put the silver into her money bag.

After carefully discerning the direction, she headed towards Santian Town, the direction from which Zeng Jiayi had dragged her there.

For safety's sake, she really shouldn't have gone back to Mita Town.

After all, Zhiye could return at any time, and if he found her missing, he would definitely come after her. If she accidentally ran into him, she might be caught again.

But she had never been to these places before and was unfamiliar with the terrain.

So she could only return to Santian Town and ask someone for directions. If she was lucky, she might run into the people her cousin had sent to rescue her.

Fortunately, she had changed into Zeng Jiayi's clothes and smeared her face with soot, so even if she came face to face with Zhiye, he might not be able to recognize her.

This put Zhiwan at ease.

However, she hadn't eaten all day yesterday and had been dragged so far by Zeng Jiayi. She had also used up a lot of energy tying Zeng Jiayi up, so she was now completely exhausted and walking rather slowly.

What she didn't know was that the two men who took Zeng Jiayi away, seeing that Zeng Jiayi was quite attractive, actually had wicked thoughts about her halfway there.

The two men grinned wickedly and led Zeng Jiayi into the dense forest.

Zeng Jiayi woke up in pain and was horrified when she saw the man on top of her.

He tried to push them away, but found that his hands were tied and he couldn't move at all.

"You, you let me go! I, I'm Ah Yi! You can't touch me..." Zeng Jiayi screamed in terror.

"Ah Yi? You're so beautiful, how could you be that dirty beggar? Don't try to fool us. If you behave, we'll treat you with some mercy. If you're naughty, we'll show you what we're made of!" the man threatened sternly, and slapped her.

Zeng Jiayi cried her heart out, but in the desolate wilderness, no matter how hard she screamed, no one would come to save her.

In the end, she reaped what she sowed; after being violated by the two men, she was taken to the brothel of pleasure.

On the other side, as dawn broke, Zhiwan had already emerged from the grove.

However, by this time she was so hungry that she was dizzy and her walking became slower and slower.

Left with no other choice, she could only sit down and rest.

Just then, a group of men walked towards them on the road ahead.

Seeing so many people, Zhiwan's heart sank.

But by then it was too late to hide, and it would only attract their attention.

After a moment's thought, Zhiwan suppressed her fear and remained seated, hoping that these people were not bad people.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape on her own.

"Boss, there's a beggar up ahead," one of the men suddenly said.

This group of people were Chen Jiu's guards.

They followed the drag marks on the ground and found this place.

Chen Jiu also saw the beggar. Upon hearing this, he said to his subordinate, "Go and ask him if he has seen Miss Biao."

The subordinate quickly ran towards Zhiwan.

"Hey, little beggar, have you seen a very pretty girl being dragged along this road?" Upon hearing this, Zhiwan's heart stirred, and she looked at the guard.

When she saw the guard's uniform he was wearing, she was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, a silver ingot rolled down to her feet.

Then a familiar voice said, "Little beggar, answer us honestly, and this silver ingot is yours."

Zhiwan looked up blankly and saw Chen Jiu leading his men up to her, looking down at her.

Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, Zhiwan was almost incoherent, “Chen Jiu, I…it’s me.”

"What do you mean you are you..." Chen Jiu's voice stopped abruptly. "You know me?" After saying that, he quickly squatted down and looked at Zhi Wan closely.

Zhiwan wiped her face with her sleeve. "Ajiu, it's me."

Chen Jiu finally recognized Zhi Wan. He exclaimed "Ah!" and fell backward to the ground in fright. He stared at Zhi Wan, speechless, "Cousin, cousin?"

"It's me!" Zhiwan said immediately, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

She was really lucky; she actually ran into someone from her own community.

Chen Jiu was overjoyed, "Miss, we've finally found you! This is wonderful!"

The other guards also knelt down excitedly, saying, "Greetings, Miss Biao."

"Get up quickly," Zhiwan said hurriedly. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work!" everyone said in unison.

That's good, the young lady has been found, and they can report back to the prince.

"Miss, let's go back quickly, the young master is going crazy with worry," Chen Jiu said, wanting to help the young lady, but mindful of the difference between men and women, he dared not move rashly.

He had just leaned close to examine Miss Biao, such a rude act. If the prince found out, who knows if he would be whipped?

"Chen Jiu, do you have any food on you?" Zhiwan asked somewhat shyly.

She was so hungry that she had no strength left to walk.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu quickly turned around and asked his brothers behind him, "Did any of you bring any food?"

Everyone searched themselves and shook their heads.

Finally, a slightly overweight guard weakly raised his hand and said, "I...I had some dried meat with me..."

"Why didn't you bring out the food sooner?" Chen Jiu slapped him on the head.

The fat guard, looking aggrieved, took out an oil paper package.

He gets hungry easily, so he always prepares some food in advance and carries it with him when he goes on a mission.

Seeing his reluctant expression, Chen Jiu snatched the oil paper package and presented it to Zhiwan.

"Miss, the dried meat is a bit tough. Please make do with it. When we get to town, I'll buy you something better," Chen Jiu said, trying his best to flatter her.

Now that there's food, how could Zhiwan possibly complain?

She quickly reached out and took it.

Fortunately, although the jerky was hard, it was very filling.

After taking two bites, Zhiwan finally stopped feeling hungry, and her body seemed to have regained some strength.

She was also thinking about her cousin, and when she found that she had the strength to walk, she quickly got up.

"By the way, Miss, why are you dressed like this?" After walking for a while, Chen Jiu asked cautiously.

When Zhiwan saw that he and the other guards were following her at a distance, she understood.

These are Zeng Jiayi's clothes. I don't know how long they haven't been washed. They smell terrible, and you can smell them from far away.
