"Please Xiaoyan, don't tell the manager about this! Otherwise, I, I... please Xiaoyan..." Xiaoju was so anxious that she almost cried.
Xuanhe patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, I never said I would give it to the manager! I have already paid you back the money for this IOU! I know that your father owes money to several gambling houses.
I will pay the debt and use your name as the guarantor! If you don’t have the money to pay back, you will be arrested and sold into prostitution! I don’t think you want to end up in a brothel!”
Xiaoju's face turned pale again, she choked and nodded.
Her father is a gambler! His mother was so angry with him that she still refuses to change her ways! She can’t do anything to him. If she hadn’t been working in the Nanman Palace and giving her enough money every month, he would have been there long ago.
So he sold his younger brother and sister! And because she was valuable, he didn’t sell her to a brothel!
"Xiao Ju, from now on, as long as you listen to me obediently, I can pay off all the debts your father owes for you!" Xuan He said generously.
Xiaoju was startled, "No, no need, I, I can pay it back slowly..." The debt owed there is not a small amount!
"You pay back slowly? With your current income, how many years and months will it take you to pay back these tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Xuanhe thrust the IOU into her hand, "Take this! From now on, listen to me.
That’s all, I won’t let you take risks! Just do a little thing for me, that’s all!”
Xiaoju hesitated for a while before speaking: "Well, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Actually, it's nothing! I'll tell you when I think about it!" Xuanhe smiled mischievously and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry! Follow me and I promise I won't treat you badly!" Princess Xuanhe is hers to follow her.
Fortunately, if she becomes the Princess of Nanman in the future, she will really contribute a lot! She will definitely let her be her personal maid!
