Four old cows were sold to Wu Yaqing for a total of forty taels of silver.
The imperial court strictly controlled the price of beef to prevent people from buying and selling beef in private. Therefore, the price of beef was much cheaper than pork.
Wu Yaqing immediately handed the money to the owner, saying, "These four cattle are now mine."
The owner quickly replied, "Yes, they belong to Miss."
Wu Yaqing approached the cows and gently touched their heads, saying, "I've bought you. Stand up. No one will slaughter you anymore."
These cows were very intelligent. Upon hearing this, they stood up one by one and gathered around Wu Yaqing.
Wu Yaqing smiled innocently, "Later, all of you will follow me. I will take good care of you."
Chu Qingzhi smiled. She wondered how well Wu Yaqing had been protected, resulting in her developing such a pure, kind, and adorable personality.
