Chapter 29 Saving Hibiscus
Chapter 29 Saving Hibiscus
On the way back, Xiao Hai told her about the funny things he encountered during the day, which made Baili Yao laugh so hard that her stomach hurt. "Although it's nice outside, we'd better go back as soon as possible. Qiaoxiang is still waiting at home. She was angry because I didn't take her with me before I went out."
Xiao Hai scratched his head. "The young lady is alone with me and Sister Qiaoxiang. If the young lady is not here, why don't you fill in two people?"
That's right, it would be better if there were two more people around her. Qiaoxiang is a fool, but she is very loyal. Even if we look for someone, we have to find a good home for her.
"I remember Qiaoxiang has an old lady at home, right?"
"Yes, miss, she has a cousin in the countryside." Xiao Hai seemed to be reminding.
"We have to keep this matter in mind." The concubines in the family have come back. Qiaoxiang is brainless and outspoken, and she is afraid that other people will do something to her in the future.
The next day at noon, Baili Yao had his meal. Baili Lianshuang and others wanted to play some more, so Baili Yao thought about leaving first.
"I... I didn't..." A crying voice was heard. Baili Yao and Xiao Hai walked over. It turned out to be the girl who served her at the last banquet. She remembered her name was Jinkui.
The noise in front turned out to be caused by the Duke's daughter who had lost her favorite hairpin. This poor girl was falsely accused of stealing something when she just served tea.
"Miss, I really didn't..." Jinkui knelt on the ground and explained palely.
The Duke's daughter looked kind on the surface, but she felt a little sorry to see Jinkui crying.
"It must have been lost. This little girl doesn't look like someone who would steal anything."
Jinkui hurriedly explained, "Miss, this is the royal territory. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not steal money..."
There were also many people watching the fun nearby. It was said that the reason why Miss Guogong liked the hairpin was because Prince Lang said it was beautiful, so she kept wearing it. Huh, Xuanyuan Minglang? Suddenly she remembered the prince wearing a mask. Could it be that there was a handsome face under the mask?
Baili Yao felt a little sorry for her, but she wanted to help but had no excuse.
Seeing that more and more people were watching the fun, the Duke's daughter also wanted to resolve it quickly.
"Why is it so lively?" A cold voice was heard, and the Duke's daughter blushed. Xuanyuan Minglang was followed by an attendant who walked slowly towards her.
Jinkui swallowed her saliva, thinking that she was definitely finished, so she just shed tears silently without making any noise.
When everyone saw Xuanyuan Minglang coming, they all dispersed quickly.
Xuanyuan Minglang walked closer and placed a hairpin on the table, "Did you lose this? I saw it on the road and thought it was yours."
There was pink in the Duke's daughter's eyes. After thanking her, she wanted to comfort Jinkui so that she would leave quickly and then talk to Xuanyuan Minglang for a while.
Xuanyuan Minglang's eyes were stern, "The royal family does not keep incompetent people. You can't defend yourself. If you can't serve people well, it's inconvenient to stay. Come on, drive him out."
Baili Yao looked at the back that was almost identical to Su Ye's, wondering why he was punishing the little maid when he had already found the things. Why was he like this...
"Miss, it's almost time for us to leave." Xiao Hai reminded her.
Somehow, Baili Yao felt that the little girl named Jinkui was pretty good. She knew no one and nothing, so she patiently told her that good people should not end up like this.
"How do you generally deal with the maids that are kicked out by wealthy families?"
"Of course she was sold. Her fate would definitely not be good. If she was sold to a brothel, she would basically be ruined."
Baili Yao left quietly and followed the old woman carrying the hibiscus.
Sure enough, there was a maid waiting at the back door, looking at Jinkui's body and saying, "She looks good. If she is sold to Qianjin Pavilion and trained well, the guests will definitely like her."
"No, no, mom, please, don't sell me to Qianjin Pavilion, please." Jinkui cried but no one paid any attention.
"Wait a moment." Baili Yao walked over.
The maids and servants looked at each other, and then the maid in charge came over and said, "It turns out to be the third young lady of General Baili's mansion. May I ask what can I do for you, young lady?"
"I think the maids from the imperial farm are naturally good. I am in need of a servant. She served well at the last banquet. How about mother, please give me some face and sell her to me?"
"This..." No one expected that someone would jump out to snatch people.
Fortunately, Baili Yao had money. When she was about to go back, Baili Yanhong sent someone to deliver a lot of silver and banknotes. Maybe he felt guilty, so he told her to spend it as she pleased.
"Little sea."
"Yes, miss." Xiao Hai walked forward, took out five hundred taels and gave them to the housekeeper, and then gave a silver ingot to the housekeeper, the human trafficker and other servants present. When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.
"Ah, this is not worth it, Miss San," the housekeeper laughed, "This girl is not worth so much money."
"Mom, just accept it. The rest is for everyone to have tea. I'll take the person away."
"Miss San, please do as you please."
