Chapter 19 Save the maid with good intentions
In fact, Ling Xiao was not angry with Li Ye's words that he wanted to take her away. She knew very well that Li Ye was willing to do so for her good, which was already a great sacrifice, but she didn't know why. She had an inexplicable resentment in her heart.
I don't know whether I hate my cruel father or the unfair fate. In this resentment, it seems that someone's figure is faintly flashing. Perhaps, even she doesn't know, that's the real reason why she refused Li Ye.
"Brother Li Ye, go back. I won't go with you." After saying this, Ling Xiao turned his head and left, leaving him with a lonely back. She hadn't called him like this for a long time, but at this time, she heard it with deep helplessness.
"Qianer--" Li Ye frowned tightly and spit out two words behind her with difficulty. He wants to say, I know you have no intention with me, but I still want to take you away, even if you don't want to accompany me for life.
I don't want to see you go into the wolf altar tiger den to suffer! So, after so many years of hard work, I still don't have the ability to protect you? Li Ye remembered the situation when he was knocked to the ground by several gangsters. Thinking about it now, a strong chagrin came to his heart.
"Madam said, you are the one who wants to go to the palace. You can't even have a maid, so let the maidservant come and choose two for you today." Rong Er beside Qiluo stood in front of Ling Xiao with fifteen or six little maids.
Seeing that Ling Xiao looked at her and did not respond, Rong Er said impatiently, "Don't worry, these have just been brought back from the dental woman. There are so many people that Madam can't do anything."
"Who are you calling Madame?" Ling Xiao said coldly.
"Of course..." Rong Er was shocked. She didn't expect that this forgotten young lady would have such a tough time, but she didn't dare to go on and muttered softly: "If our young lady hadn't suddenly fallen ill, how could it be your turn? Do you really think you can stay in the palace?"
These words were not loud, but it was enough for Ling Xiao to hear them clearly. She didn't say much, but just stared at her fiercely. Bad girl, you will be careful in the future.
Ling Xiao glanced at the little girls in front of him. They were all eleven or twelve years old, but they were all good-looking and beautiful, but she didn't want to use them. Who knew what kind of heart Qiluo was.
The little girls looked at Ling Xiao expectantly, but they could only watch Ling Xiao pass by in front of them expressionlessly.
"Tell my aunt that Ling Xiao is used to being alone and can't get used to being a maid."
"Oh, you..." I don't know what's good or bad, and Rong Er spat secretly behind him.
"Mother-in-law, no, mother-in-law..." At this time, a few childish calls came from outside the yard, accompanied by bursts of scolding.
"I'll give you food and drink. Now is the time for you to repay!"
Ling Xiao frowned and walked to the door of the yard. He saw an extremely vulgar old woman and two obscene men dragging two ten-year-old girls forward.
"Hight, what's going on?" Ling Xiao is not a hard-hearted person. What's more, according to her current state of mind, she looks at the two girls with a sense of pity.
"It's none of your business. Don't delay me and my business." The woman said impatiently.
"Yo, isn't this Grandma Liu? What's wrong with you?" Rong Er came forward and said in surprise.
It turned out that Mrs. Liu was the famous dentist in this area, and the girls in the yard got it from her.
"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Rong!" Mrs. Liu let go of a girl's hand, stepped forward and flattered, "I'm going to do another business."
"Oh?"
"No, I looked for two good seedlings a while ago. This is not a plan..." Mrs. Liu smiled so much that the folds on her face piled together. "Hey hey, I guess I can make a lot of money."
Although the two little girls didn't quite understand how they were going to deal with it, they also recognized the bad intentions and cried loudly, "Please let us go. We are willing to repay you as a cow and a horse. I will do laundry and cook, and my sister will sew and sweep. Please don't sell us."
"Bold!" Ling Xiao scolded loudly, "You woman, how dare you do such a thing in the light of day? Is there any king's law?"
"Hahahaha." Rong Er seemed to see something extremely funny and laughed loudly, "You are really funny. Grandma Liu is a human tooth. She doesn't buy or sell people. What is she doing?"
Mrs. Liu didn't expect Ling Xiao to look weak. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was shocked by her momentum and suddenly didn't respond. Hearing Rong Er's question, she put her waist in and smiled, "That's right, the tooth woman doesn't sell people. Does she eat people? Yo, hello, what's in your yard? This is also buying and selling people! It's just a joke!"
Listening to the two people singing and harmony, Ling Xiao was not angry. He just took two steps closer and said to Mrs. Liu, "Well, listen well. Lord Ling, the governor of this prefecture, personally promulgated a clause in the 16th year of Shengde. Within the jurisdiction of Phoenix Prefecture, women are not allowed to be forcibly sold into brothels. Violators will be fined 3,000 yuan. Forty."
There is indeed this provision in the Phoenix House Local Act, but in fact, no one really take it seriously. Even if everyone knows it, it is tacit. At the beginning, Ling Guan issued this rule just to make a good reputation for himself.
However, now Ling Xiao solemnly proposed, and next to the magistrate's mansion, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to refute it, and she was immediately stunned.
"Yo, girl, you're too surprised." Rong Er curled his lips disdainfully, "It's like you."
"I'll choose these two." Ling Xiao pointed to the two girls and said something like this.
"Ah? What are you talking about?" Rong Er didn't react at once.
"Didn't my aunt say she wanted to give me two maids? I want them." Ling Xiao said, "Anyway, it's all in the hands of the same person's teeth. Isn't it all the same?"
Seeing that Rong Er was hesitating, Ling Xiao continued, "I believe my aunt will not agree with such a small request. Unless..." She took a look at the original group of girls, "Unless Aunt Ling Xiao has to choose from those people?"
"How can it be?" Rong Er smiled and was embarrassed for a while. He looked at the young lady's face again and reluctantly nodded, "Well, I'll go back and tell my wife."
After buying the two little girl, Rong'er left with an unhappy face. Mrs. Liu looked even more annoyed and pounded her chest. "If I had known it, I wouldn't have gone from here. Damn it, I lost a lot."
"Thank you for your help. My sister and I will repay your life for saving my life for the rest of our lives." Among them, the slightly larger girl, pulling the slightly smaller one, knelt on the ground and thanked her sincerely.
"You don't have to thank me." However, it's just people who will suffer. Ling Xiao sighed and helped them up. "We are also fate. In the future, you will be called Bitang. You are Biyi. I don't care what you used to do before. Follow me from now on and start all over again, okay?"
"Ah, sister, we have a name. My name is Biyi. Your name is Bitang?" The girl jumped up, and her smile bloomed on her little face with tears.
"Yes." Bitang also had tears in his eyes.
I thought that Qiluo would immediately come to look for bad luck because of this matter, but I didn't expect to see her appear after a long time. During this period of time, Ling Xiao calmed down and gradually made up his mind.
"Have you really decided?" Although Shen Murou asked this question, in fact, she was already ready. Even if it was sour, she still helped Ling Xiao prepare for the burden.
"Mother, there is no need for too much." Ling Xiao took Shen Murou's hand and asked her to sit down, leaning her head on her shoulder. "As long as we don't enter the palace, we will always meet. As long as our daughter settles down, we will definitely pick you up."
Shen Murou nodded. She had been cowardly all her life. When she was about to come, she would support her daughter to escape! Even she can't believe it herself." Mother has passed most of my life, and many things have been taken lightly for a long time. For me now, as long as you are safe, everything will be fine.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything anymore, but silently prepared everything. In fact, there is nothing to prepare for, but no matter how dilapidated this small courtyard is, it is the place where she has lived for so many years, and she is always reluctant to give up.
"Come on, potatoes, I'll give you delicious food." Biyi half squatted on the ground and pinched a grass in her hand, teasing potatoes.
"Meow~" Tudou thought that the cute little sister in front of him was feeding it delicious food like her owner, and came up happily.
"Meow!" As soon as the potato bit, he found that he had been cheated. He jumped back and stared at Biyi angrily.
"Hee hee, sister, look how cute this kitten is."
"Yes, look at it, your eyes are round."
A pair of little sisters have been oppressed by the evil master in the past. They have not been so comfortable for a long time, and Ling Xiao has never scolded them. At this moment, they are very happy to play with potatoes when they have nothing to do.
Ling Xiao was not very reluctant to play with potatoes. She never played with it herself, but when she saw the two little girls having fun, she didn't talk about them.
Although he has not been with them for a long time, Ling Xiao feels that they are also girls who repay their kindness and have a conscience.
Since Yue Chan's accident, her close maids Chunmei and Xia He have been beaten and scolded by Qiluo for three days. Yesterday, because of a little thing, Qiluo punished Xia He severely for a small matter.
But she happened to see the two Bitang sisters and knew that they were Ling Xiao's new maids. She was suddenly angry and immediately followed them to find faults.
"You two bitches, do you think you can get along with the one in the room? Two wild maids who have no origin really take themselves seriously!" Xia He covered the red and swollen palm of his hand and rolled his eyes and said.
The Bitang sisters don't talk. They are new here, and even if they are wronged, they can only stand it. In fact, they also know more or less about this house, but they are not very clear.
Seeing the two girls hanging their heads and a submissive look, Xia He became more arrogant and snorted coldly, "Well, she is just the light of our young lady!" If our young lady fell ill, she thought it would be her turn? Even so, she must be put on the sign when she enters the palace, just her beauty..."
However, before Xia He finished his words, he was slapped in the face.
