Su Lingyue brought Caidie Caiyi and got on the carriage. The three of them were dressed very low-key and looked like three sisters from an ordinary family.

The carriage turned several turns and stopped in front of a narrow and dirty alley. Su Lingyue and Caidie Caiyi got off the carriage together and asked the servant to wait at the entrance of the alley.

"Miss, why are we in Poor Alley? There are all kinds of people here. It's too dangerous!"

Su Lingyue covered her nose to block out the stench. "The person I'm looking for is right here."

After some inquiries, Su Lingyue met Ji Tang in a low thatched hut in Poor Lane.

Su Lingyue walked to the thatched shed and called out, "Is anyone there? I'm looking for Ji Tang."

The door of the thatched hut opened soon, and a young man in coarse linen clothes walked out vigilantly and then closed the door behind him.

Ji Tang had wheat-colored skin, was thin and tall, and had a handsome face, but there was a scar running from his right eye to his face, which made his face look a little hideous.

Ji Tang looked at Su Lingyue and the colorful butterfly behind her warily, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"

Su Lingyue looked at Ji Tang and chuckled, "Ji Tang, I'm here to ask you to be my bodyguard."

Ji Tang was obviously a little panicked. He had just come back and no one on this street knew that he knew Kung Fu.

"You've got the wrong person." Ji Tang said as he was about to close the door.

Su Lingyue looked at his panic and knew that she had found the right person. "If I can find you, so can others. Are you sure you don't want me to come in and talk?"

After a moment, the door slowly opened, and a strong fishy smell hit me in the face.

Su Lingyue asked Caidie Caiyi to wait outside, and she went into the thatched hut with Ji Tang.

The two of them have always been in the backyard of the house, and they probably have never seen a place like this before.

But she was different. As someone who had returned from hell, she had seen all kinds of disgusting people. Naturally, these scenes would not make her retreat.

There was only one bed in the room, on which lay a gray-haired woman and a young man. They probably ate, drank, defecated and urinated on this bed, so much so that Su Lingyue was almost suffocated while standing there.

Su Lingyue asked softly: "Who are they?"

"My mother and brother."

Su Lingyue asked some more questions about his mother and brother.

It turned out that Ji Tang had been an apprentice with his master in a Taoist temple, and his younger brother supported his mother.

But a few days ago, his mother suddenly suffered a stroke. In order to treat his mother, his brother worked day and night. Later, he was accidentally hit by a rich businessman's carriage on the street.

The rich businessman didn't even get off the carriage and gave ten taels of silver as compensation.

When Ji Tang came back, he saw his mother lying on the bed and his brother with a broken leg.

After understanding the whole story, he went to the government to sue the rich businessman. It turned out that the rich businessman was in collusion with the government. His lawsuits were rejected many times. The government only said that the rich businessman had already complied.

In order to pay for his brother's medical expenses, Ji Tang stole a painting from a rich businessman's house in the middle of the night and sold it, and was later wanted.

But he didn't know how to do business, and the painting was bought by someone at a very cheap price, and his brother's leg was not cured.

Su Lingyue couldn't help but sigh. He had many paths to choose from, but he chose the worst one.

"You still have one way out!" Su Lingyue looked at Ji Tang with a gloomy gaze, "I will help you withdraw the wanted order, and I will pay for the treatment of your mother and brother, but you have to sell yourself to me, and I will be your master in the future."

"What's your choice?" Su Lingyue asked slowly.

Ji Tang's body stiffened when he heard this, and he looked at the petite woman in front of him with a cold expression.

He didn't know where this woman got the news about her and came to him, nor did he know her identity. She seemed to be dressed in ordinary clothes, but there was a natural nobility about her. He also felt the sense of oppression from the superior from the woman's words.

Although she told him to choose, in the current situation, she could solve all of his difficulties, but he would have to pay with his freedom and loyalty.

He has no choice!

Ji Tang looked determined and knelt down in front of Su Lingyue, "Master."

Su Lingyue chuckled, with an admiring look on her face, "You understand, sign the contract of sale now!"

"Cai Die, bring in the indenture."

Caidie covered her nose and handed a piece of paper and a brush to Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue took it and handed it to Ji Tang who was kneeling in front of her.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Tang took the paper and pen, signed his name on the contract, bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint.

Su Lingyue took the indenture contract handed over by Ji Tang, took a look at it, folded it up with satisfaction and put it into her sleeve.

Then he took out a purse from his bosom, took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to him.

"This is your first month's salary. Go buy some food and clean clothes. My guards need to be more respectable. Tomorrow I will pick up your mother and brother and take them to the farm in the suburbs."

"You clean them today. I can't treat them like this. I'm going to deal with your wanted warrant first."

"Yes, master."

Ji Tang watched Su Lingyue leave, staring at the silver in his hand. In the dim and dirty house, he seemed to see the dawn again.

As soon as Su Lingyue returned home, she couldn't wait to take a bath and changed into clean clothes. Only then did she finally feel more comfortable.

She held back again and again and managed not to vomit in the thatched hut.

Ji Tang’s problem is easy to solve.

Su Lingyue asked the servant to send an invitation to the rich businessman in advance, and then sent someone directly to Jingzhao Prefecture, took out three hundred taels of silver, and then brought up Su Heng's name, and used both coaxing and intimidation to make the rich businessman withdraw the lawsuit and the wanted order, without even using a stick of incense.

Three hundred taels for a guard with great martial arts skills is worth it.

When we returned from Jingzhao Prefecture, it was almost dusk. The sunset glow in the sky was dyed red, and the entire palace seemed to be covered with a halo, shining brightly.

Su Lingyue was walking in the yard and unknowingly came to Muyunxuan.

When I arrived outside Xiao Yu's bedroom, I happened to meet Doctor Lu coming out. He looked tired, and he must have stayed here for a day.

Su Lingyue asked softly, "Doctor Lu, how is the prince?"

Doctor Lu looked at Su Lingyue, a kind smile appeared on his tired face, and he whispered: "He is fine, his condition is under control, and he is asleep now."

Su Lingyue heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Can I go in and see him?"

Doctor Lu smiled meaningfully and whispered, "Okay, just keep your voice down and don't wake anyone up."

Su Lingyue walked into the bedroom, which was still filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Although Xiao Yu took medicine every day and was probably used to it, it was probably uncomfortable to always smell the smell.

Yan Qing was the only one in the room, sleeping on the table.

Su Lingyue walked quietly to the bed and sat down beside it. Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly in the dim light.

He was covered with a thick quilt, his whole body sunk into the soft mattress. His facial expression could not be seen in the candlelight. His brows were slightly furrowed, his thick eyelashes were slightly curled, and his handsome lips were still colorless.

He probably still feels uncomfortable.

These past two days she would always dream about Xiao Yu lying on the ground covered in blood in her previous life. When she saw him in front of Xiao Yu, she only felt pity for him. Now when she dreamed about him again, she only felt pain in her heart.

She didn't know why this happened, but she thought about Xiao Yu quite often in the past two days.

Seeing Xiao Yu's slightly frowned brows, Su Lingyue wanted to reach out and smooth them out. But when she was about to touch him, she suddenly remembered what Doctor Lu said and withdrew her hand.

"I will never let you die!"

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and whispered softly, then stood up and walked out of the room quietly.

When the door closed, Xiao Yu, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and looked in the direction where Su Lingyue left with his deep eyes.
