Mu Yunhan didn't know how to comfort Miss Mei, so he could only say: "No matter what, you can stay here as long as you want."
Miss Mei smiled faintly: "I understand."
After a while, the dishes were served and everyone was half drunk.
Miss Mei didn't cry or make trouble, she just followed Mu Yunhan at all times and refused to let go even when she got home.
Mu Yunhan had no choice but to put Miss Mei to sleep.
Miss Mei's wine was good, and she didn't make any fuss at all. She only wanted to sleep.
When daybreak was about to break, Mu Yunhan heard a suppressed cry coming from beside him, so he pretended not to hear it and continued to pretend to be asleep.
Miss Mei tugged at her sleeves and whispered: "Master, can you let me follow you from now on? I will sell myself and follow you for the rest of my life."
Mu Yunhan still pretends to be asleep and sells himself, which is easy to say but not so easy to do.
Especially for a wealthy lady like Miss Mei, who worked for her before, although everyone called her Lotus Fragrance Girl, it was not true.
It would be different if she really became a slave. She didn't want to turn against her.
Miss Mei didn't see any reaction from Mu Yunhan, so she kept silent and stared blankly at the top of the tent waiting for dawn.
She no longer has a home, and she no longer wants to be sent to live with some distant relative and marry anyone for the rest of her life.
These days with Mu Yunhan were when she was happiest and most comfortable, doing what she liked.
But she also understood that if her identity did not change, it would be impossible for Mu Yunhan to truly let her do things.
Rather than saying it was a whim after receiving a blow, it was better to say it was a matter of careful consideration over the past few days.
Miss Mei stood up gently, opened the door and walked out.
At dawn, Mu Yunhan asked someone to come in to help with the grooming. He saw Miss Mei walking in alone, kneeling and holding up a piece of paper: "Girl, please accept this slave."
Mu Yunhan felt complicated: "Why are you doing this?"
Miss Mei had always dressed up as a girl, but today she had her hair styled like a woman's, and she was also wearing brown cloth. She didn't have any jewelry on her body, except for a jade hairpin.
There are local rules, and a girl who does not want to get married can style her hair in a woman's style. No one can force her to change her mind, and she will never change her mind again in this life.
Miss Mei smiled and said: "I don't plan to get married again, that's the way it will be in this life. I want to follow you and do what I like."
Mu Yunhan said seriously: "You have eight thousand taels of silver with me and you are proficient in business, why don't you do it yourself?"
Miss Mei said: "Not everyone can have your connections and courage. If I were independent, I would definitely be fine as a rich man, but I might be forcibly married and killed one day. This is my contract of prostitution.
Please accept it."
Mu Yunhan still confiscated it: "Let's wait until someone comes to your family."
Miss Mei was extremely disappointed, but knew she could not change her mind, so she had to change the topic: "Is the inn still open?"
Mu Yunhan said: "I've thought about it, I have to leave a bowl of rice for others to eat, otherwise they will lose hope, get jealous and get sick, and they will attack in groups. It's enough to focus on the few things you do."
Miss Mei was thoughtful.
The two of them went to Mrs. Mu Er's place to have breakfast together. On the way, they met the mother-in-law leading a beautiful little girl in: "It just so happens that the elder girl is here too. Take a look at these orchids. Which one you like has a hairpin."
Mu Yunhan looked at the little girl and said, "Why is it you?"
It was the little girl who sold chrysanthemums to her on the street that day.
The little girl blinked her eyes, fell to her knees and said, "It's my benefactor!" (To be continued)
