Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 221: Family Heirloom
Lin Feng looked at them and suddenly smiled.
"What kind of talk is that?"
He reached out and gently stroked the two women's cheeks.
"Since you have already pledged yourselves to me, I will take full responsibility for you."
Don't worry, I'll handle this.
Besides, you are all so lovely, how could I bear to give you away to someone else?
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable certainty.
Su Shi and Su Qin looked at him and felt inexplicably at ease.
They never expected that Lin Feng would take the initiative to assume responsibility at such a time.
Which man who comes to Zuixiang Pavilion doesn't turn his back on you after he's done his business?
When they encounter trouble, they run faster than rabbits.
But this man in front of me, who had already taken the most precious thing and could have easily left, chose to stay and face it.
For that reason alone, they felt that everything tonight was worth it.
I am increasingly grateful that I did the right thing.
Moreover, resolving this issue would come at an astronomical cost.
If Lin Feng is truly willing to pay such a high price for them, then they…
The two dared not think further, but their eyes held a mixture of expectation and gratitude as they looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had just put on his coat when the door was pushed open with a bang.
The madam, accompanied by her maid, stormed in menacingly.
She immediately noticed the clothes scattered all over the floor—the two sisters' dresses were strewn about, and seeing the undergarments on the ground made her furious.
Lin Feng's outer robe was draped over the back of the chair, and the bed curtains were half-drawn, through which two shivering figures could be vaguely seen in the quilt.
The madam felt everything go black again.
Her face was ashen, she pointed at Lin Feng, and her whole body trembled.
"You... Xiang Rikui! Do you know what you've done?!"
Lin Feng stood by the bed, calmly tying his clothes.
"What did you do? Madam, didn't you see it all?"
"You!" The madam was so angry she could barely speak, "I'll tear you to pieces!"
Lin Feng smiled calmly and reached out to brush off non-existent dust from his robes.
"What's the rush? If it can be solved with money, it's not a problem."
The madam sneered, her face full of mockery.
"Easy for you to say! Do you know how much money I spent training them?"
Hiring a master, buying rouge and face powder, and acquiring clothes and jewelry would easily amount to several thousand taels of silver over ten years.
"They can earn me tens of thousands of taels of silver in the future. How are you going to compensate me?"
Lin Feng looked at her expressionlessly, too lazy to waste words.
"Just state the price."
The madam was taken aback by his calm demeanor and suddenly felt a little unsure.
Who is this person?
How dare they be so brazen?
She looked Lin Feng up and down—his clothes were elegant, his demeanor extraordinary, and his eyes were calm as he spoke, without the slightest hint of guilt or panic.
Could it be... a young master from some prestigious family?
She gritted her teeth and tentatively said, "Since you're so rich, I won't ask for more; ten thousand taels of gold will do."
Upon hearing this, Su Shi and Su Qin, who were inside the bed curtains, turned pale instantly.
Ten thousand taels of gold!
That's 100,000 taels of silver!
Even if you sold them all, you still couldn't raise that amount!
But Lin Feng simply nodded.
"Ten thousand taels of gold? I don't have any."
The madam snorted coldly, and most of her fear dissipated instantly.
She thought Lin Feng would try to negotiate, but he simply said no.
Why pretend to be a big shot then?
"No? Then leave your life behind!"
She waved her hand, about to beckon the people outside to come in.
Lin Feng waved his hand.
"What's the rush? I may not have gold, but I have a family heirloom that is priceless."
As he spoke, he reached into his robes—actually, he took something out of his spatial storage.
When he took his hand out of his pocket, there was a transparent glass bead the size of an egg in his palm.
The candlelight shone on it, and the sphere was crystal clear, perfectly round, and without a single impurity.
The most amazing thing is that when you look through the sphere, the candlelight on the other side reflects a rainbow of colors, flowing and swirling inside the sphere, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
The madam was stunned.
She stared intently at the sphere, her eyes wide with amazement.
What kind of treasure is this that is so translucent, so perfectly round, and so flawless?
"This pearl is called the 'South China Sea Glass Pearl,' and it comes from the deep sea, thousands of miles below." Lin Feng held the sphere, his tone as calm as if he were talking about the weather. "It was passed down from my ancestors and is priceless."
He gently rotated the sphere, and the candlelight shone through it, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow in the room.
"What do you think the value of this item is?"
The madam's breathing became heavy.
She has run the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion for decades and has seen countless treasures.
Pearls, jade, agate, coral—what haven't I seen?
But she had never seen or even heard of this thing before, let alone seen it.
So clear, so smooth, so perfect, without a single flaw.
If this were taken out, wouldn't those powerful and wealthy businessmen fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it?
Although the two courtesans are valuable, they are nothing compared to this South China Sea glass bead.
The madam's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, her greed undisguised.
"Very well!" She nodded repeatedly, her anger long since replaced by greed. "If you give me this pearl, both my daughters are yours! Take them away now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng raised his index finger and gently shook it.
"Madam, you're dreaming."
The madam's expression changed.
Lin Feng held the glass bead and said slowly, "This is priceless."
What I mean is, give me two days.
I auctioned off this pearl and used the money to redeem them.
"Ten thousand taels of gold is nothing; I'm sure I can still sell this South China Sea glass bead."
Upon hearing this, the madam became anxious.
What? An auction?
What if someone else offers a higher price?
What if someone else buys this bead?
Her eyes darted around, and she quickly said, "No need, no need! Why go through all that trouble! Just give me the beads, and I'll let you take them away right away!"
Lin Feng looked at her with a half-smile.
"Madam, do you think I'm stupid? You know perfectly well how much these beads are worth."
You think you can get something for nothing? You're just trying to get something for nothing!
The madam was speechless after hearing his words, her face turning pale and then red.
She knew, of course, that the bead was worth far more than ten thousand taels of gold.
Let alone 10,000 taels, people would bid even 20,000 taels, after all, this item is a rare treasure.
Even with money, you might not be able to buy such a perfect treasure.
She took advantage of Lin Feng's eagerness to redeem his people, hoping to take advantage of him.
I never expected this kid to be so cunning.
She took a deep breath, changed her expression, and put on a big smile.
"Oh dear, Young Master Xiang, what are you saying?"
I'm doing this for your own good, so you don't have to go through all that trouble.
"How about this, you give me the beads first, you take the person with you, and we can discuss the ransom later?"
Lin Feng smiled without saying a word, simply looking at her.
That look in his eyes seemed to say: Do you think I'm an idiot?
The madam felt a little guilty under his gaze and gave an awkward smile.
Inside the bed curtains, Su Shi and Su Qin watched this scene, both shocked and moved.
They thought they were doomed tonight, but they never expected Lin Feng to have such a treasure and be willing to pay such a price for them.
The two looked at each other and saw tears in each other's eyes.
This man is truly someone you can entrust your life to.
Lin Feng put away the glass beads and deliberately said:
"Madam, I told you, give me two days."
Two days later, I brought the money to ransom him.
Before this, they were not allowed to suffer any injustice.
Otherwise, I won't honor the agreement.
Seeing such a treasure, how could the madam let it slip away?
She hurriedly said, "Young Master Xiang, that's not right. You took my two daughters' virginity without warning. You were the one who was unreasonable."
"You can't have all the good things by yourself."
Lin Feng: "Oh, so what do you mean?"
