Hearing this, a light flashed in the young lady's eyes, but then it was covered by a layer of shadow, and she said sadly.
"It's useless. Huiyao will not let me leave. They will only use us as a tool for them to make money and win over the powerful. One of my sisters became the concubine of a powerful man in the imperial capital just because of her beauty. But I heard
He said that sister’s body was found by the river not long ago.”
As she said this, tears welled up in the young lady's eyes. She didn't know whether she was sad for that sister or sad for her own future fate.
Looking at the other person's appearance, Xiaoqiang felt pity.
"Then do you want to leave here?"
The young lady said without thinking, "I think, but what can we do without us, especially my appearance, which will definitely attract the prying eyes of interested people. It will be difficult to protect myself by then. Maybe my fate will not be better than
How good is my sister?"
Xiaoqiang asked: "Are you afraid?"
The young lady nodded and said nothing. She just touched the tears in her eyes alone, feeling very sad.
"Then will you follow me?"
Hearing the sound, the young lady looked over. The look of anticipation in her eyes was beyond words, but was quickly covered by numbness.
"Don't lie to me. I know you are a good boy, but your family will never let me leave here. Moreover, my identity is that of a slave. A child like you must have a profound background. Your family will not allow me to leave."
The slave stays with you."
Xiaoqiang smiled, stretched out his hand to twist the other person's sobbing face, looked at the crying woman, and said in a firm tone.
"As long as you are willing, I will take you away. As for other things, everything will be clear to you after you follow me."
The young lady was moved by Xiaoqiang's determination. Although she was still confused and helpless in her heart, looking at the pure eyes of the other party, she unconsciously nodded in agreement.
"I am willing, I am willing to stay by your side and serve you all my life."
Xiaoqiang smiled, and then sat back on the sofa. In the eyes of the young lady, this action made him think that everything he did before was just a trick on her.
Just as her beautiful eyes were gradually showing disappointment, Xiaoqiang's voice sounded again, but it was these next words that destined her to have an extraordinary life.
"I promise you that I will take you away today, and I also promise you that your future will definitely be extraordinary. In the future, you will make those who once looked down on you surrender and make the world tremble."
The young lady didn't understand the true meaning of the second half of Xiaoqiang's words. She just heard that the other party would take her away, and the jealousy in her heart surged up to the tip of her nose uncontrollably. Then she hugged Xiaoqiang tightly and cried.
Got up.
The auction is still going on, but the atmosphere in the room has become different.
After getting Xiaoqiang's promise, the little sister Lihua cried with tears for a long time. When all the sadness in her heart was taken away from the tears, she stopped crying and wiped the red eye circles.
Xiaoqiang did not comfort or stop the little sister from crying, because he knew that only by crying could the misery and pain accumulated in the little sister's heart be released. After crying, she could be reborn and start a new life again.
life.
After a long time, the room gradually became quiet. The young lady wiped her tears and secretly looked at the little man in front of her.
The child in front of her gave her so many differences. From the initial curiosity and liking, to the current following and conviction, the young lady felt that this little man might be her destined son.
Although she also knew that it was difficult for her to be with such a person because of her status, it was enough to be able to stay by his side and look at him.
As for the reason, there were too many things, but at this moment, she only felt a sense of stability and security in this little man, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to trust him.
"Are you ready?"
Xiaoqiang's voice broke the quiet atmosphere, and the young lady's random thoughts stopped at this moment.
She nodded and said softly, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
"It doesn't matter, just cry and it will be fine."
The young lady didn't know what to say next.
At this moment, he wanted to ask the other party how to rescue him from the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce, but she also knew that such words were inappropriate to say at this moment, so she introduced herself instead.
"My name is Wanrou. You have never asked me my name."
"Wanrou? What a good name. My name is Xiaoqiang. You should know this."
The plain conversation made Wanrou smile softly.
"I know, but what should I call you?"
Xiaoqiang is quite casual.
"You can just call me by my name, I don't care about these things."
Calling out names directly is a big taboo for a servant. After thinking for a moment, Wanrou said.
"I'd better call you Young Master, so that it won't sound misunderstood by outsiders."
Xiaoqiang thought about it and thought it would work, so he took out the gold card given to him by Jin Caner and said.
"There are one thousand gold coins in this card. Take them out and then buy a house in White Tiger City. You can help me take care of it first."
Seeing Xiaoqiang unsuspectingly giving her the gold card, Wanrou looked over in surprise. This was the first time she had been trusted without reservation by someone, and this trust only deepened her determination to follow Xiaoqiang.
"Master, actually one hundred gold coins is enough. White Tiger City has clear regulations. Unless you are a noble recognized by the city lord's palace, ordinary people will not be able to buy larger houses. I don't know the background of the master, so I would like to ask.
,you……."
Wanrou didn't dare to speak anymore, she just started talking and stopped talking.
"I'm just an ordinary person. With this card, you can buy as much as you can. You are responsible for the layout and management of the house."
Wanrou thought that the young master was unwilling to reveal his background, and while she was disappointed, she was determined to get this thing done.
"Master, how should I contact you?"
"This..." Xiaoqiang thought for a while and said, "When the house is decorated, you hang a big red lantern in the yard. I will naturally come over when I see it. As for you, you don't have to contact me. I will take the initiative to find you when the time comes.
you."
Although Wanrou felt a little strange, she didn't ask any more questions. She just carefully put away the card, and then looked at Xiaoqiang without saying a word.
Xiaoqiang could naturally feel the expectation in the other person's eyes. He coughed and stood up.
"You wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Wanrou wanted to get up and follow, but was stopped by Xiaoqiang.
After a while, Wanrou, who had longed for him, finally waited for the young master to return. When she saw the contract in his hand, she suddenly understood something, and the excitement in her eyes made her body start to tremble.
