C24 (1/2)

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't care about the people rushing towards him, he just felt that the person in front of him who was still crying was too annoying.

He turned around and avoided the two servants who were fighting with each other.

At this moment, Hu Xiao felt very unhappy. His actions became more and more careless as he started to cry out.

He approached the gentle man step by step, laughing so hard that he wanted to kick him to death.

The man no longer had the arrogance from before as he meekly said, ”Miss, no, grandaunt, no, the female hero should spare her life. I … I don't want this woman anymore, take her away!”

When the gentle man saw Hu Xiaoxiao's face just now, he was naturally extremely afraid. He was afraid that if Hu Xiaoxiao was unhappy, his own life would be in danger here.

He was just a small merchant. Normally, he had the money to do whatever he wanted, but now that he had met with such a situation, how could he not be afraid?

At this moment, the cries of the two people who were just crying became louder and louder.

The two of them knew that if they let this cultured man off with a smile, that man would turn around and ask them for the money to sell him. Didn't the two of them waste their efforts in the end?

”Okay, stop howling. I have plenty of money, so I'll just buy your girl.”

He really couldn't stand to see such vicious parents, and that woman was really pitiful. Unless he bought it himself, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

He touched his waist, as if he had never brought any silver this time. It was all Zhilan who was paying, so Hu Xiaoxiao unceremoniously searched for Zhilan's position in the crowd.

She had wanted to hide it better, but who knew that Hu Xiaoxiao would see her? Thus, Zhilan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

”Here, this is for this girl's silver taels. Take it!”

Ye Zichen pinched his purse in pain, but luckily, he just laughed, and got rid of a bit of money!

”Follow me.”

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the filthy and submissive woman before him, frowned, and left.

This girl was too cowardly, she should have a good lesson after buying it.

After Hu Xiao left, the couple took the silver taels and hastily packed up their belongings. With more silver taels than the man, the couple could not hide their joy.

When he returned to the restaurant again, Hu Xiaoxiao no longer had the heart to eat. Looking at the girl who was wolfing down the food, Hu Xiaoxiao's heart was moved.

This woman seemed to be hungry for several days. Were the commoners really unable to eat? Starving people everywhere?

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a voice that brought him back to reality.

”Many thanks to Miss for buying this lowly slave today. This lowly slave will definitely serve you well in the future and not make you regret it.”

After which, he kowtowed heavily. Hearing that sound, even Hu Xiao felt pained.

”Was the couple just now your parents? Why did they want to sell you out? ”

Seeing that the girl seemed to have eaten her fill, and seeing that the loud kowtow just now must have eaten her fill, he asked her what he was thinking.

On the other hand, the girl between his brows was somewhat similar to the other two, but Hu Xiao still wanted to confirm it.

The girl lowered her head and replied after a long time, ”Yes, it's my biological mother and father.”

The woman had long resigned herself to her fate. However, upon seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's extraordinary skills, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart.

”Why would I sell you?”

”Because my family was poor, my brother was planning to take this year's Imperial Examinations, but unfortunately, my family didn't have any more silver to allow my brother to take the exams, so they decided to sell me in exchange for two silver taels to help him take the Imperial Examinations.”
