The Eunuch is Pregnant-Chapter 181: Heading to the bank

The wooden box was neither big nor small. In addition, it looked quite ordinary. However, within it were the thousand silver taels Le Yao Yao received from the Emperor and the rare precious valuables that the Dowager Empress had bestowed her. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

It was her retirement fund.

Back in the 21st century, she had a rich dad who gave her everything. As a result, she never had to worry about money and didn’t have much concept of it either.

But ever since she arrived in Prince Rui’s residence, Le Yao Yao finally experienced the true meaning of “a coin can force a man to death”.

Sadly, although she had money now, she couldn’t redeem her body until three years later.

But, the three years will probably past by no time. She must endure!

Putting her money underneath the bed was not very safe though. Thieves probably wouldn’t dare to enter Ya Feng Ge, but she should take preventative measures.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao looked out the window. It was currently around noon. So, she should put the money in a bank. Or else, she will not be able to sleep in peace.

Hence, Le Yao Yao emptied all the items from the wooden box onto the table. Then, she put everything on a huge cloth and wrapped it into a bundle as she stuffed it in her arms.

Then, Le Yao Yao went to the chief manager to get the exit pendant as she rushed towards the direction of the bank.

Le Yao Yao was extremely cautious while walking. Most likely, it was because she was carrying a lot of valuables. Her bright eyes were alert as she scanned her surroundings repeatedly. She was worried that she would become a victim of local gangsters. She didn’t want them to take away all her money.

Fortunately, since it was so early during the day, the local gangsters were probably not out yet. Usually, they don’t come out until after the Sun sets.

But, unfortunately for Le Yao Yao, human calculations were no match for Heaven’s calculations.

By no means did Le Yao Yao expect a thunderstorm would occur while she was halfway there.

Furthermore, it wasn’t a normal thunderstorm. There was violent wind, and lightning roaring over the sky continuously.

The sound was so frightening that it literally sounded as if the sky was going to split in half.

Although the violent rain ruined her plan, Le Yao Yao did not retreat. She hurriedly ran underneath a roof to get shelter.

Le Yao Yao stared around and noticed that everybody was running away from the clamorous streets. No one expected such heavy rain. Within a few minutes, the streets were empty.

Aside from the violent rain, there was also a freezing wind sweeping back and forth.

Since it was Summer, Le Yao Yao only had a thin layer of clothing on. By now, half her body was drenched. With the chilly wind, she couldn’t stop shivering.

So, she tried to tightly hold onto her collar as she rubbed her hands together to keep warm. She really prayed that the rain will stop!

Sadly, the rain continued for a few more hours. By now, the Sun was setting.

Although the rain had stopped, there were still layers of gloomy clouds in the sky. They looked like a grey whirlpool; making it very suffocating for others to look at.

By now, the streets were practically overflowing. After all, in the ancient era, they didn’t really have a sewage system. It was a mess to walk through.

Le Yao Yao looked up at the sky again, and then looked at the intersection streets in front of her. She was hesitating.

Should she return back to the residence? Or should she continue with her original plan and go to the bank?

After all, she was actually midway. Regardless of which direction she chooses, the distance was about the same.

After pondering for another three seconds, Le Yao Yao decided to head to the bank. She wouldn’t be able to sleep well until the money was safely stored away.

Le Yao Yao was only ten minutes away from the bank. She could see it from where she was. She only had to pass through a small alley.

Unexpectedly, within a few steps, she vaguely saw a few figures standing and crouching in the alley.

Initially, she thought they were random villagers and didn’t pay too much notice. But the further in she got, their voices entered her ears –

“Eh, Tiger, look. Someone is heading our way.”

“Mm. I can see.”

“Bro, we haven’t eaten well for the past few days. Let’s go grab that guy and see whether he has any taels on him.”

“Haha! Of course! All of you, go get him! Seize the punk!”

Oh no! She has encountered gangsters!

She should’ve checked the calendar for good luck before leaving! Now the only thing she could do was –

Run!

“Bro! The punk is running away!”

“What? Get him!!!!!”

“Yes…!”

Le Yao Yao could hear multiple footsteps chasing behind her. Not only that, they were getting closer and closer.

Le Yao Yao was so afraid that she didn’t dare to turn and look. Currently, she was freaking out to the max.

In her arms were the rewards she worked so hard to get. They were her retirement fund! So, she cannot stop! She must not let them take her money away from her!

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao could no longer hold it in as she screamed, “Help! Thief!!”

At the same time, there was a horse carriage heading steadily down the streets.

Both Mei and Xing heard the cry from afar and looked at each other at the same time. Then, they turned to Leng Jun Yu. Currently, he was focused on reading.

“Prince, somebody’s crying for help.” Mei coldly stated.

Leng Jun Yu didn’t even bother lifting his head up. He calmly reply, “Then go deal with it.”

Xing had already lifted the door curtain as he stared outside. He could see a bunch of men surrounding a little figure. Xing’s eyes flashed and he looked trouble.

“Huh? How come that little figure looks so much like Xiao Yao Zi?”

Then, there was a violent wind passed by him and Leng Jun Yu was no longer there.

“Eh? What happened to the Prince?” 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Mei rolled his eyes at Xing and whooshed out of the horse carriage as well.

—–

At this moment, Le Yao Yao had ran out of breath. She couldn’t run anymore. It was as if all her strength had been sucked out of her. Someone from behind her suddenly leaped and pounced on her. Le Yao Yao fell down into a deep puddle.

There was a huge splash and her face was pressed into the sewage water. She ate a mouthful full of sewage soil.

Le Yao Yao choked. *cough cough*

“Humph! You stinkin punk! How dare you run!…”

The first guy who caught her was a tall and buff middle aged man. Soon, his crew caught up and they were all annoyed that they had to run for so long.

So they began to punch and kick Le Yao Yao.

“Humph! How dare you run so far and make us chase?” one of them sneered.

“Yeah! We’re going to beat you up. You think we’re good to bully?”

*cough cough*

Before Le Yao Yao could get up, she was punched and kicked countless of times.

She had never ever been beaten up in her entire life. Plus, there were so many people as well.

Even if she had strength, she would never be able to fight them all. After all, how could two fists beat four?

So, Le Yao Yao was like a ragged doll as she became a victim of assault. The punches struck her again and again, and her body was burning from pain. She didn’t even have the strength to scream anymore. Her vision was starting to blur.

Oh God! Was she about to die?

If so, this was truly a pitiful death….too unjustly…

“You guys dare to touch him?” growled Leng Jun Yu.

His deep piercing voice was comparable to the twelfth lunar month. It had the ability to make any listener shiver.
