Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 123: Selling Pan Jinlian at the Start

Upon arriving at her doorstep, Qingmo called out loudly, "Wife, we have a distinguished guest."

Pan Jinlian came out to greet him upon hearing the noise, and was startled when she saw Ximen Qing.

Qingmo pointed at Ximen Qing and said, "Madam, this is Master Ximen, a famous wealthy man in Yanggu County."

Ximen Qing was instantly captivated by Pan Jinlian's beauty, his eyes glued to her.

Seeing this, Qingmo welcomed the man into the house and pressed her advantage, saying, "Master Ximen, this is my wife, Pan Jinlian. Do you believe me now? Isn't my wife as beautiful as a fairy?"

Ximen Qing nodded repeatedly, took out a large bag of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Qingmo: "Is this enough?"

Qingmo weighed the silver in her hand, smiled, and shook her head. "Not enough! Such a beauty is naturally worth a thousand pieces of gold. It seems that Mr. Ximen and my wife are not destined for each other."

Pan Jinlian, watching from the side, also noticed the signs and panicked. Although she disliked Wu Dalang, she never thought she would be sold again. She looked at Qingmo with anger and confusion in her eyes.

When Ximen Qing heard Wu Dalang say this, he thought it made sense. A beautiful woman is naturally hard to come by, let alone such a beauty. He had plenty of money and didn't care.

"Wu Da, you're right, beauties naturally come with their price. But I don't have that much silver on me. Wait here, I'll go back and get it."

After saying this, Ximen Qing prepared to go home to get the money, but then he stopped and turned back to look at Pan Jinlian. "Young lady, wait for me. I'll come back to get the money and pick you up."

Before leaving, he looked back at Pan Jinlian seven or eight times, as if afraid that the young lady would disappear.

As soon as he left, Pan Jinlian said, "Husband, what do you mean by this?" Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Seeing this, Mo's heart trembled. "My wife, I'm doing this for your own good. This Ximen official is rich and powerful, and quite handsome. Selling you to him is better than living a hard life with me."

Pan Jinlian looked incredulous. She hadn't expected that Wu Dalang would actually sell her. How dare he? If he sold her, who would marry Wu Dalang with his looks?

"Husband, how can you be so heartless? Do you disregard even the slightest affection between husband and wife?"

Clear foam: ...

What kind of affection do we have? Is it the affection of sharing a bowl of medicine? Jinlian, I'm just trying to help you. If you keep pretending to be a chaste and virtuous woman, you're going too far.

Qingmo sighed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm: "My lady, I can't bear it. But if you follow me, you'll only have coarse tea and simple food every day, while that Master Ximen can give you fine silks and satins."

Pan Jinlian bit her lip and said resentfully, "Husband, do you despise me? Jinlian is not the kind of person who would climb the social ladder."

Since Pan Jinlian had already said so, if Qingmo insisted on selling her, it would make her look like a worthless person, so she changed the subject.

He said, "Well! Alright, my wife, you're right. Since you don't like such a handsome young man, it seems you love me very much. I'm deeply moved. I won't sell you out. We'll sleep together tonight. You should give me a few chubby boys, and we'll live a good life together from now on."

Upon hearing this, Pan Jinlian paused, her handkerchief wiping away tears. This... Although she didn't want to be sold, she didn't want to share a room with Wu Da even more. Besides, that young man was indeed quite handsome.

“Ah, my lord, there’s no need for that. I guess you’ve come up with this idea because you’re facing difficulties and short of money. If I could share your burden, I would be willing to put up with this.”

Qingmo chuckled inwardly. She was getting anxious, really anxious. Ha, women! I told you, who could resist such an ugly toad! Jinlian's better off being honest.

Moved, Qingmo went up and took Pan Jinlian's hand, making a move to hug Jinlian's waist. "My wife, I knew you had me in your heart. No, I will never sell you again. I was out of my mind before."

Pan Jinlian: ...No! Don't come any closer! Back away, back away!!!

Jinlian quickly pulled her hand away, turned her back to Qingmo, and said pitifully as if wiping away tears, "Husband, please stop. I am willing to go with Master Ximen, but I am not willing to let you be criticized by others because of me. Let's just consider this as a case of being destined but not fated to be together in this life."

Just kidding, Jinlian was actually panicking, afraid that Wu Dalang would really not sell her anymore. She just wanted to maintain her image. When Ximen Guanren came in, she was momentarily stunned by his handsome appearance.

Even a dog would know which to choose between Ximen Qing and Wu Dalang, right?

Shouldn't she have let down an honest man? Yes, yes, yes, netizens are right, but then she turns around and marries a rich and handsome man, and then tells the backup: I'm sorry, you are a good person.

Qingmo sighed, "Well, since my wife insists on going with Master Ximen, then I won't force her."

Pan Jinlian: ...What kind of mess is this? Didn't you sell me out? How did it become that I have to go with someone else? Wu Da, how could you say such shameless things with your 38-degree mouth?

Qingmo: Basic operation, basic operation, you'll get used to it.

The two remained silent for a while until Ximen Qing returned with the money and took out a gold note from his pocket, handing it to Wu Dalang.

"Wu Da, here is a thousand taels of gold notes. Keep it safe. Once you take it, your wife will be mine. You'll also have to write me a contract. I, Ximen Guanren, am not the kind of person who steals other men's wives. You sold her to me willingly."

Qingmo's expression changed instantly. She smiled and accepted the silver note, nodding and replying, "Of course, of course. But I can't write. You can write it down and I'll put my fingerprint on it."

Seeing Wu Dalang agree so readily, Ximen Qing was also pleased. After all, money could be earned again, but beauty was a rare find. He had his servant write a contract and handed it to Qingmo. Qingmo glanced at it, saw no problems, and pressed her fingerprint on it.

Ignoring Pan Jinlian's resentful gaze, Qingmo said to Ximen Qing, "Then you can take Pan Jinlian away now, and I will have nothing to do with her from now on."

Ximen Qing couldn't wait to walk towards Pan Jinlian, grab her hand and leave, looking extremely impatient. Such a beauty, of course, should be enjoyed back at his mansion.

Jinlian, on the other hand, adopted a coy and reluctant demeanor, her eyes filled with tears, conveying the message: "See? This isn't my choice; I had no choice."

After watching Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian leave, Qingmo was just about to close the door and go to rest when she saw Wang Po walk in. She had a shifty look on her face, and it was clear that the old woman had ill intentions.

"Wu Da, I just saw your beautiful wife run off with someone else. What happened? Did she run away with someone?" Granny Wang said with a gloating expression.

Qingmo gave her a cool look and said, "Oh, I sold her to Master Ximen. What's it to you? Mind your own business."

Ignoring Wang Pozi's reaction, he pushed her out the door, closed it, and went upstairs.

Granny Wang cursed and swore outside the door, but seeing that Qingmo ignored her, she had no choice but to slink away.

Qingmo: Don't Q, or you'll get hurt!
