The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1739 Lime Powder

He Bao snorted, "Trying to play tricks, huh? You lot aren't leaving until you pay up."

Lotus Leaf said, "We didn't bring any money, what can we give you!"

He Bao said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't bring any silver. Just leave your jewelry behind."

Lotus Leaf laughed and said, "Lotus Bud, I never thought you'd be hanging out with thugs at such a young age, and even learned how to rob and plunder. Do you know that a hairpin in my hair is enough to send you to jail for life!"

One of the thugs swallowed hard. "Is it that valuable? Then hurry up and take it off to offer to us." As he spoke, two of the thugs had already drawn their short knives to threaten the people in front of them.

Jin Feng panicked, "I brought silver! I brought silver! Fifty taels, if that's not enough I can find another way!"

"Oh?" Not only did the two thugs' eyes light up, but He Bao's eyes also lit up. One of the thugs said to He Bao, "You're something else, having such a rich older sister!"

Chen Qingsheng and Jin Feng panicked, but He Ye remained calm. She asked Jin Feng, "Where did you get so much money?"

Jin Feng said, "My sister-in-law gave it to me, saying it can be used for self-defense in a pinch!"

Lotus Leaf said, "My sister-in-law has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You see, she always says hurtful things to me, but actually... Hey? Isn't that Officer Sun? Hey~ Officer Sun!"

Constable Sun's reputation was widespread, and no hoodlum or vagrant in the city was afraid of him. Even He Bao was terrified at the mere mention of his name. The group of them turned around in unison, and after a flustered look around, they realized they had been tricked. They turned back to face each other, their eyes turning fierce and their mouths becoming even more venomous. "Ugly woman, how dare you deceive us!"

Lotus Leaf smiled. "I was just fooling you."

He Bao gave the order: "You two, don't hold back, beat them until they beg for mercy."

One of the thugs said, "Don't worry, your sister is pretty, and she's pregnant. None of us brothers have ever slept with a pregnant woman before!"

He Bao smiled contemptuously, "Then you'd better enjoy yourselves. My sister here has worked in brothels, and her greatest skill is serving people!"

"Beasts!"

Just as Chen Qingsheng was about to jump up and hit someone, He Ye stopped him. She smiled mockingly and comforted Chen Qingsheng, saying, "You know he's an animal, why are you getting angry! Watch me!"

He Ye suddenly raised her hand and threw out a handful of powder. The three men who had been looking fierce just moments before immediately covered their eyes and screamed. Chen Qingsheng asked He Ye, "What did you throw out?"

Lotus Leaf clapped her hands, shaking off the powder, "Lime powder!"

"Where did it come from?"

He Ye smiled and said, "My aunt gave this to me for self-defense a few days ago, so you don't need to restrict me from going out, and you don't need to worry about them coming to smash my stall. I'll smash it every time I see them."

Several people were rolling on the ground and yelling. Even in that state, He Bao was still cursing He Ye: "You bitch, what did you use on me? Give me the antidote right now, or I'll make you regret it!"

Lotus Leaf said, "Stop spouting nonsense. There's no antidote at all. If you want to save your eyes, quickly find some water to wash them."

Upon hearing this, the group stumbled and scrambled away.

He Ye walked in front, with Chen Qingsheng following beside her: "He Ye, you have such good things, why don't you give some to your husband? Do you know how badly He Bao bullied me yesterday? Our family's glass stall was smashed to pieces by these people. If it weren't for my sister-in-law standing up for me, our family would have suffered a huge loss!"

Lotus Leaf said, "I always have a little bit of kindness for her. My aunt said that this lime powder hurts the eyes."

"Then why did you bear to use this thing to smear her today?"

He Ye said, "I used to think she was greedy, but today I realized that she has already turned her heart upside down. She is capable of murder for money. Keeping such a person around is just a disaster. If she comes to our glass stall to rob us again, I will report her to the authorities without considering my feelings. I am already irreconcilable with her."

Chen Qingsheng said, "Your words have put my mind at ease. I was afraid of upsetting you in the past!"

"I'm not that fragile. I've already figured it out and seen through it all."

Upon entering Prince Pang's residence, everyone was furious upon learning of the incident. Yu Hua was the most enraged, her emotions running high and her voice booming, "It's utterly inhuman! He Ye is her own sister, how could she bring hooligans to insult He Ye like that? How could such foul language come from her mouth? How vicious she is! She even had designs on He Ye's unborn child! She's heartless and rotten! If anything happens to the child, I'll take her to court!"

Cheng Feng, who had been silent, had already turned pale and clenched his fists. He stood up and said, "I'm going to the Cheng family to settle accounts with her."

Upon hearing that Cheng Feng was going to stand up for them, Chen Qingsheng quickly said, "If it's about settling scores with the Cheng family, I'll go too."

He Ye glared at Chen Qingsheng: "What are you doing, making things worse!"

Chen Qingsheng was also angry. "She treated you like that just now, what's wrong with me going to see her? My uncle is going to step in, so I'll go with him. I might be able to help out if needed!"

He Ye said, "You're not allowed to go! Uncle, you shouldn't go either. We all know what kind of person she is. It's one thing that she's incorrigible, but now she's hanging out with hooligans. She's gone astray."

Cheng Feng also realized that this person had gone astray, and since He Ye's safety was at stake, he couldn't just sit idly by. "This person is already ruined. Sooner or later she'll be a menace to the village. How could the Cheng family have produced such a thing? I'll go talk to my older brother and tell him to discipline He Bao properly. If we don't, this person will really become a hooligan!"

Yu Hua said, "Don't mention your older brother. He's a spineless coward who doesn't care about anything. Yesterday, when we went to ask for the money, he didn't show any attitude. He didn't stop us from moving things, but he was holding his bird like it was something that couldn't be cooked or boiled. It's no use for you to go there. He doesn't care about the family at all. If you want to keep He Bao in check, you should get Cheng Tiezhu back as soon as possible. Without Cheng Tiezhu, I think the family will be in chaos."

Shang Xi agreed with Yu Hua's point of view, "Yu Hua is right! You can't be the one running the household. You can't just run there every time something happens. Even if your words carry weight, that mother and daughter are resentful and see you as a thorn in their side. Disciplining He Bao isn't something that can be done overnight. Your occasional visits won't make much difference. That household needs someone to be in charge long-term. Tell Cheng Tiezhu to come back as soon as possible. Put your business in Mochun County on hold for now. Besides, isn't Fifth Brother there? Get Tiezhu back quickly. The key issue right now is that He Ye's safety is threatened, and Yu Hua isn't safe either. He Bao has two thugs as protectors; what won't they do? If no one is in charge, something big will happen sooner or later!"
