Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 45 - 44

When he entered the room and got closer, Zhang Xiaoshan finally saw the tragic state of the noblewoman.

At this moment, the woman’s hair was disheveled, with many bloodstains flowing down from her forehead. She was lying prone on the kang, curled up into a ball. A chain used for tying up dogs was locked around one of her ankles, no wonder Wei Bao left so confidently.

"Don’t come over, stay away from me."

Thinking Wei Bao had returned, the noblewoman was immediately startled and shouted again.

"I beg you, let me go, just name your price, talk to me..."

The woman’s voice was somewhat hysterical.

Fearing that Wei Bao’s parents would be attracted by the noise, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly rushed to the side of the kang and covered the woman’s mouth, whispering.

"Don’t yell, stop yelling, it’s me, we met this afternoon on the ferry, I’m that village doctor..."

What he feared would come to pass did. Before the noblewoman could respond to Zhang Xiaoshan, Elder Wei’s voice came from outside.

"Who’s there, who’s inside..."

Elder Wei, wearing a tattered jacket, stood at the door calling out.

Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart sank.

"This is bad."

He quickly let go of the noblewoman, took two steps back and hid behind the door, his eyes fixed on the noblewoman on the kang, his heart pounding.

If Elder Wei caught him inside, with both the person and property in hand, he would have committed a grave taboo in the village.

Luckily, the noblewoman was clever.

She quickly regained her composure.

"Help, let me out, release me, I want to go home..."

The noblewoman shouted tirelessly. What good could be expected of Elder Wei who could raise a "fine son" like Wei Bao?

"Hey, shut your mouth, you wretched woman."

Elder Wei pushed the door open, shone a flashlight on the noblewoman on the kang, intending to come in and teach her a lesson.

Zhang Xiaoshan felt his heart cool tremendously.

At that moment, Wei Bao’s mother also came over.

"You old coot, what are you doing in your son’s room?"

Elder Wei replied.

"This woman’s screaming and shouting, I need to teach her a lesson."

"Humph."

Wei Bao’s mother pinched Elder Wei’s arm viciously.

"Why are you pinching me?" Elder Wei gasped in pain.

Wei Bao’s mother scolded furiously.

"You shameless old fool, you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? I haven’t settled with you yet for peeking at Widow Su taking a bath last time, and now you dare to covet this woman? I’m telling you, you better drop that thought. This is your son’s woman; don’t get any ideas."

"I, don’t talk nonsense, when did I peek at Widow Su bathing, and besides, what could I possibly want with this woman, let’s go back, back to our room..."

Having his thoughts exposed, Elder Wei gave up the idea of entering and pulled his wife back to their own room.

"Click."

Only when Zhang Xiaoshan heard the sound of the door being locked in the next room did he breathe a sigh of relief.

That was close!

"This Elder Wei is over sixty years old and still peeking at Widow Su bathing. He really has no shame," Zhang Xiaoshan thought to himself.

By now, the noblewoman had already spoken to Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Good Samaritan, please save me. Since you’re a doctor, you must have read books and know that what they’re doing is illegal, right? Please have mercy and help me leave this place."

Zhang Xiaoshan walked over to the noblewoman and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"It’s not that simple. Today at the ferry, you must have heard my conversation with Wei Bao. The village rules are strict. If I take you away, it would be going against the public anger. How would I be able to stay in White Dragon Village afterwards?"

"My family is very wealthy. As long as you help me leave, I will give you a lot of money, a million, no, five million. I will give you five million and also a big house, to ensure you live without worries outside this mountain. You won’t have to stay in these hills anymore," the noblewoman pleaded persuasively.

Five million?

Hearing the price the woman offered, Zhang Xiaoshan was secretly astonished.

He had never seen so much money before.

Even if he successfully became a regular staff member with a formal post, he would only earn a little over three thousand a month. By that count, he would never earn five million in his lifetime.

He grew increasingly curious about the woman’s identity. What kind of family was this, offering five million so easily?

"Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked the question in his mind.
