Mo Linyuan laughed meaningfully. “I’m indeed from Daqing.”
Bai Xianyu did not wait for his answer. She poured the medicinal powder in the bottle onto the spot where she had abraded herself. Her thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids. The dazzling sunlight made her skin look like white jade. Her snow-white face was mixed with a pearl-like halo that could easily confuse one’s vision. The unknown fragrance on her body was refreshing.
The number one beauty of the Great Kui was indeed worthy of her reputation.
She finished applying the ointment to herself and held out her hand. “Returning it to you.”
Mo Linyuan wanted to say no, but when he saw the girl holding his medicine bottle in her fair hand, he unexpectedly took it. “Ehm.”
Although Bai Xianyu could tell that he was from Daqing, she was not apprehensive. “Are you here to visit the capital?”
Mo Linyuan nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, I have a benefactor in the capital. I came here to visit and also want to find an opportunity to repay her.” “Benefactor?”
“To be precise, I’m indebted to my mother.” Mo Linyuan smiled. “It’s a pity that she’s no longer alive, but… her descendants are still around.”
Bai Xianyu nodded simply. This was someone else’s private matter, so it was not appropriate for her to ask further.
Ji Shuang wiped her forehead and smiled in high spirits. “Are you done roasting, Lin Yuan?”
Mo Linyuan said, “Yes, I left one portion for you.”
Ji Shuang wiped her sweat and sat beside Bai Xianyu. After boldly biting a mouthful of the meat, her eyes lit up. “Not bad. It’s very well roasted. Looks like our decision to hunt with you was right.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo be honest, Mo Linyuan had never roasted anything for anyone in his life. Only the two people in front of him had eaten it.
He smiled noncommittally and looked at Bai Xianyu. “The last time I saw you pick flowers and brew wine, it really made me crave for it for a while. I can’t forget it until today. I wonder if I can ask for a cup of wine the next time we meet?”
Before Bai Xianyu could reply, Ji Shuang turned to look at her with slightly bright eyes. “Little Yu, did you make wine again? I want to drink too.”
“Alright, I happened to bring two pots back. If we meet again next time, let’s have a drink together.”
“Okay.” Mo Linyuan said firmly, “We’ll definitely meet again.”
As the sun set, two people riding horses slowly appeared in the distant horizon.
Mo Linyuan bade them farewell and did not return to the capital.
Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang got someone to bring their prey and follow them. They walked at the front. The city gate of the capital was wide open, and when they looked inside, many shops had already hung lanterns.
At this moment, a commotion at the city gate broke the silence.
“Brother, I’m sorry…”
“Let go of me, you brat!”
“Please let my sister go. She’s still young and insensible. I’ll pay back the money I owe you!”
“Son of a b*tch, you want to pay me back? Do you know why your sister sold herself? It’s all because she wanted to support you in your studies. But you’re useless. You’ve failed again, hahaha.”
Jiang Yechi gritted his teeth and looked at his sister, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, who was almost fainting from crying. His heart was filled with pain and hatred. He hated himself for being so stupid and failing time and time again.
With a ‘Plop’, he knelt down in front of them and kowtowed hard to the ground. “Please, she’s still young. If she’s sold to the brothel, she’ll only die. How can I face my parents in the underworld…”
His sister was trembling in fear, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
Unexpectedly, not only were those people not moved, but they also kicked him. Jiang Yechi’s face was kicked, and he curled up in pain and howled.
“Didn’t they say that these scholars are the most noble? Hahaha, why is he kneeling?”
“What pride? He’s just a bunch of cheap bones. Ignore him. Let’s go. They’re still waiting for the person…”
Before he could finish speaking, a cold sword smashed into the ground less than three inches away from him!
Three inches into the ground!
Just a little more and he would have been badly mutilated.
The person in the green felt hat was so frightened that his legs went weak. When he recovered, he glared at the person behind him. “Are you blind?!”
Ji Shuang narrowed her eyes impatiently.
At this moment, one of her shadow guards came out and slapped the man in the green hat away. His fat body rolled on the ground a few times before the guard said coldly, “I think you’re tired of living. This is a girl from our Prince Pingnan’s Residence.”
The man in the green hat understood. Ignoring the pain, he immediately got up and kowtowed. “I… I know my mistake. Miss, forgive me. I… I…”
Bai Xianyu had already gotten off the ground and untied the rope on the ragged little girl.
Seeing this, Jiang Yechi kowtowed with a swollen face, each kowtowing heavier than the last. Tears and snot flowed down his face. “Ladies, please help this commoner. These middlemen tricked my sister into signing a slave contract. Today, they will bring her to the brothel. Ladies, please…”
The little girl got free and rushed to Jiang Yechi’s side. “Brother… Boohoo.”
Bai Xianyu looked at the people kneeling on the ground and frowned slightly. “How much does she owe?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ten… Ten taels of silver…”
Jiang Yechi’s face was ashen. Ten taels of silver could actually buy his sister’s life.
As for him, he could not even gather five taels of silver.
Bai Xianyu did not bring any money when she came out, but the two people in front of her were indeed pitiful. Ten taels of silver was also much lower than the usual price. She had probably been cheated. She thought for a moment and borrowed some money from Bai Li.
Those people did not dare to take her money at all. Their teeth chattered as they said, “No… no need… It’s all my fault… Let’s go…”
The man in the lead apologized profusely and left with his men.
Bai Xianyu held the money in her hand and saw that the man’s face was covered in blood, so she gave the money to him. “Go and get a doctor to take a look at it and buy some food for your sister.”
Jiang Yechi still wanted to kowtow, but was blocked by Ji Shuang’s sheath.
“Stop kneeling. If Little Yu gives it to you, just take it. Look at the blood on your forehead. Be careful not to scare your sister into fainting.”
Bai Li helped the two siblings up.
Seeing that this little girl was pitiful, Bai Xianyu asked, “What’s your name?”
The little girl was frightened and could not speak for a long time. Jiang Yechi could only answer on behalf of her. He said bitterly, “This humble one is Jiang Yechi. This is my sister, Jiang Liu’er. A few days ago, I went to the capital for the exam. As 1 was worried about my only relative, I brought her here. Later on, she met those people who repeatedly coaxed and lied that as long as my sister signed the slave contract, they would be able to support me in my studies. Later on… all of you also saw it too.”
Jiang Liu’er cried, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for being too stupid.”
They hugged each other and cried again. Ji Shuang tilted her ear and saw that Bai Xianyu seemed to be in a daze.
“Little Yu, what’s wrong?”
Bai Xianyu’s gaze paused on Jiang Yechi’s face.”… It’s actually him..”
