After leaving the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Tang Xiuyan's face changed.

Walking beside Lu Jiuqing, he said in a deep voice: "I will settle the accounts with you slowly after I get back what happened today."

After that, he jumped on the carriage and left on his own.

He actually deliberately threw Lu Jiuqing down and asked her to walk back.

Lu Jiuqing stood alone on the empty street, silent for a moment, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Tang Xiuyan was furious at the moment, and she would definitely be liquidated after she returned. She is a woman, and there is no one to protect her. She is afraid that she will not be able to get a good deal if she goes back.

She simply went to the street and would not return to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion for the time being.

After being reborn, she has never come out. Now that there were no annoying people around her, walking alone on the street made her relax.

Lu Jiuqing was so hungry that he didn't have any food at the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, so he found a street wonton stall and sat down, filling his stomach first.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a lot of noise not far away. A group of people gathered around, not knowing what they were looking at.

The boss came over with hot wontons. Seeing Lu Jiuqing looking over there, he smiled and said, "Well, someone is selling his body to bury his father."

Lu Jiuqing was stunned for a moment: "Sell yourself to bury your father?"

"Yes, it's a little girl. She's been kneeling there all day." The boss sighed a little, "It's very cold in spring, and the little girl is wearing thin clothes. I'm afraid she's freezing now."

Lu Jiuqing: "...No one buys it?"

"If that little girl doesn't look good, no one will buy her."

After the boss finished speaking, he asked Lu Jiuqing to eat and then turned back to work.

Lu Jiuqing stuffed a hot wonton, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

She shook her head. Now that she couldn't protect herself, she couldn't afford this extra bit of sympathy.

After finishing his meal in a few seconds, Lu Jiuqing put the money on the table, got up and planned to leave.

When passing by there, Lu Jiuqing raised his eyes and glanced inside, then stopped instantly.

Among the crowd, I saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old kneeling, wearing a tattered and thin coarse linen clothes, with her hands folded on her knees, and the exposed skin was green and red from the cold.

The owner of the wonton stall said that she was not good-looking but was actually beautifying her. This girl was clearly ugly. The whole face is covered with acne, and there is no intact skin. It looks a bit scary. She is thin, with high cheekbones and sunken cheeks, but her eyes are surprisingly big and round. The combination is not ugly but scary.

Lu Jiuqing stared at her, not because he was frightened, but because he saw a familiar shadow on her face.

She knew those eyes.

Lu Jiuqing pushed through the crowd and got in, squatting down in front of the little girl.

When they saw someone in front of them, the girl moved her big eyes and looked at Lu Jiuqing: "Do you want to buy me?"

Lu Jiuqing's back felt cold when he was looked at by these eyes, and he couldn't help but step back a little.

"You won't suffer any loss if you buy me. I eat less, am strong, and can do a lot of work. No man can compare to you." The little girl looked directly at Lu Jiuqing and promoted herself in a numb tone, " I can also shoot arrows and I can protect you."

To be honest, Lu Jiuqing was a little afraid of her.

She bravely moved closer and asked softly: "What's your name?"

The little girl looked at her for a while and then said: "Chen Yuan, my name is Chen Yuan."

Lu Jiuqing's guess was confirmed. This little girl was indeed named Chen Yuan.
