"I even paid her 50 taels of silver and signed the indenture. I… I don't want your child anymore. Is that okay?"
"Really?"
An Jiuyue smiled and looked at Ministry Councilor He with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
She glanced at Old An and Aunt Wang and reminded them meaningfully, "Since you've signed the indenture, you'll have to give a child away, right?
"Otherwise, it'll be so embarrassing. We can't possibly let Ministry Councilor He make a loss, right?"
Ministry Councilor He had been in town for so many years. He was once a hot-headed young man, who persuaded a sophisticated lady to marry him, and became a rich man.
He was astute and understood what An Jiuyue meant.
He looked at Old An and Aunt Wang, then at the Chief and the Junior Officer. He had a plan.
"I can't let it go just like that. I've already paid the money. Wang, where's your grandson? Hurry up and hand him over. I want to bring him back now."
