When the car curtain fell, Sheng Huan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

The fact that the man came out and even looked over here showed that she still left some trace in his heart.

Even if it's very small.

"Mother, where are we going now?"

Yue Xing'a found that his mother seemed to be in a very good mood, and the little guy, who was well fed and drunk, was also in a very happy mood. He simply hugged Sheng Huan's arm tightly, looking like a very dependent fledgling. The little guy, who was less than five years old, acted coquettishly without realizing it, and his voice was so cute and infantile.

"Let's go to the dental clinic." Sheng Huan looked at the little guy's furry head and unconsciously reached out to rub it.

Sure enough, the feel is as good as I thought.

The little guy didn't know what a tooth was, but when his mother rubbed his head like that, he felt so comfortable that he just snuggled into her arms and didn't even think about asking what a tooth was. If he were a kitten, he would definitely be purring in comfort.

Outside the curtain, Zhu Yu also heard the sound from the sedan chair.

She knew that the young lady was going to the pawnbroker. She had followed the young lady's instructions to the coachman when she got on the carriage just now. But what was the young lady going to do in the pawnbroker?

With so many people in the mansion, is there anything worth buying from the pawnshop? Zhu Yu was puzzled, but did not dare to comment.

Although the young lady does not win the master's favor, she is still the young lady after all. Even if Li Si'er, a concubine, calls herself the lady, the master lets them call her Madam Li. But no matter how favored she is, she is just a concubine, and should be able to...not cause any trouble, because there is still the master and the lady above her to suppress her.

The carriage turned a few corners and soon arrived at the dental clinic.

Yue Xing'a excitedly jumped off the sedan chair first.

When the pawnbroker's manager saw the carriage approaching, she straightened up slightly from lying idly on the table. The carriage was made of fine materials, and although there was no emblem on it, it should have belonged to a wealthy family in the capital.

She walked out of the counter and was about to go forward to greet him when she saw a little boy jumping off the carriage. Although the boy was small, the fabric of his clothes was very fine, so he must be someone who was not short of money.

While she was thinking, the curtain of the carriage was slowly opened from the inside, and a white arm stretched out. Then, the housekeeper thought she saw a fairy.

Then, the fairy actually walked towards him.

"Excuse me, are you Madam Cui?" Sheng Huan walked towards Madam Cui. Seeing his mother walking around, Yue Xing'a immediately put his little hand into her hand. He looked around curiously, with a bit of vigilance and curiosity in his eyes.

Madam Cui stared at Sheng Huan in a daze. When she heard her clear and cold voice, she felt as if her ears were ringing with heavenly music. With such a voice and such an otherworldly appearance, if she was wearing white clothes, she might have thought it was the goddess Guanyin in the painting who had come down to earth. She was almost brought back to her senses by the person next to her pulling her sleeve.

She nodded quickly and replied with a smile:

"Oh, it's me. I'm a commoner and have never seen someone as noble and elegant as you. I was stunned for a moment. Please don't blame me, please don't blame me."

"It's okay." Sheng Huan said in a light voice.

She looked quite cold, but Madam Cui did not find it impolite. Instead, she felt that it was her nature that made her cold. How could she blame a beauty? A beauty naturally had her own privileges. Moreover, she was a guest who had to pay. This lady looked very rich and should have a big order today. Thinking of this, she immediately reached out her hand, very enthusiastically:

"Sir, please come this way. Xiaohong, serve you tea."

"My dear, if you need anything, just tell me. I am the manager of our dental clinic. No matter what you need, I will do it for you."

Sheng Huan was already sitting on the chair. Hearing this, her eyelashes fluttered slightly. She fixed Yue Xing'a's hair with her hands and said casually, "To be honest, Madam Cui, I'm here to buy someone. Do you have any strong women here? I need a few."

She paused and uttered two words: "Self-defense."

When Madam Cui heard this, her eyes moved slightly. Especially when she saw Zhu Yu's face change slightly and then look relieved, she felt that this lady who looked like a fairy might not be living as well as she appeared to be. She bought it for self-defense? For whom?

It’s better not to ask around about the underworld of this wealthy family.

She nodded, but her expression was serious: "Madam's request is not a problem. I have many strong maids here. Madam, you can have as many as you want."

Sheng Huan said: "It would be best if he had a clean background, was not easily threatened, and would not hold me back. What I need most is someone who can be loyal to the master."

"Okay, Madam, I understand your needs. Madam, please sit down for a moment. I will have someone bring someone up to help you choose."

Sheng Huan squeezed Yue Xing'a's hand and nodded.

Although Yue Xing'a was young, he immediately understood his mother's intention when he heard the conversation between the two adults.

I became even angrier when I thought about the servants in the mansion who only listened to that man, when I thought about how my mother was forcibly confined to her room by that man a few months ago, and when I thought about how no one dared to stop that man when he slapped my mother until she bled.

When the little guy thought of the injury his mother had suffered, he felt a dull pain in his heart, anger rose in his eyes, and he felt a strong hatred and disgust for that person.

From the day that man beat his mother and him and stopped trusting him, he was no longer Yue Xing'a's father.

He is not the kind of father who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Noticing the little guy's sudden strong emotional fluctuations for some reason, Sheng Huan patted his head gently and said in a gentle voice: "Baby, don't be distracted, stay tuned, mother will take you out to play later, we will go back home later tonight, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Cui looked at Sheng Huan in surprise. It seemed that this cold and aloof fairy was not cold to everyone.

When Yue Xing'a was immersed in endless negative emotions, his mother's gentle voice rang in his ears. He looked up and saw his mother smiling. The haze in his heart seemed to be blown away.

Nodding, very obediently: "Okay!"

It would be best to return to that home later. It is not a good place to be. Li Si'er is already injured. I don't know how that person will complain when he comes back, and I don't know what that person will do. Now, mother has found a powerful old woman who can protect her.

The little guy looked down at his short legs and feet, feeling a little sulky. He wondered why he didn't grow up quickly. Otherwise, why would he have to let others do things like protecting his mother?

"Meet Madam Cui."

While Yue Xing'a was thinking about miscellaneous things, fifteen old women were brought up.

The fifteen old women looked to be around 30 or 40 years old. They were all quite strong, but their faces were a little sallow. I wonder what they had experienced.

"Today, this lady is choosing people. Whether you can be chosen by her depends on your performance."

"Hello, madam."

Sheng Huan nodded, his eyes swept over them one by one: "Tell me about your own situation, how is your strength?"

The fifteen old women looked at each other, and the first one who stood out was a rather dull-looking woman.

"Madam, I am Fang Xing, the only servant in the house. I used to work in the fields. I could carry two large buckets of water and walk a mile without taking a breath."

Fang Xing stood up, and soon others followed suit.

Until the last old woman stood up. This old woman had a face full of flesh and looked very tough. Her eyes were the slanted eyes that were considered ominous nowadays, and she looked gloomy.

"I am Li Dilai, an old servant from the country, very strong. Madam, rest assured that I can endure any hardship."

When Li Di came out, Madam Cui frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Huan noticed it and looked at her.

When Madam Cui saw her looking at her, she was a little embarrassed and lowered her voice and said, "Madam, these old women have their own difficulties, and this Li Dilai, her family background is indeed clean, but she is not well-known and unfilial."

"What do you mean?" Just by hearing the name Li Dilai, one can tell that her family favors boys over girls, especially in ancient times.

"She was a widow. After her husband died, her parents urged her to remarry, but she refused and even beat them up. Later, she asked to be sold to a pawnbroker."

Madam Cui paused, and finally explained: "She has a younger brother who is getting married. Her family is very poor. As for the beating, it was all her parents said. We don't know the details."

A glimmer flashed across Sheng Huan's eyes. Judging from the information sent by Puhua and the others, this Li Dilai was not as vicious as she looked. As for beating people, it was only because she was forced to do so. As for talking about remarrying, it was just that her parents wanted to sell her to the casino for money.

Although Li Dilai is not good-looking, the gamblers in the casino don't mind anything when they are serious about gambling.

Li Dilai stood at the bottom with her head down, knowing that Madam Cui must be talking to the lady at the top about her. She felt desperate, thinking that if she couldn't sell any more, the pawnbroker might not want her anymore as a freeloader.

And every employer who comes to buy people looks down on people like her.

Just when she was in despair, she heard the voice of the lady above her, which was like clear spring water, filling the dry lake of her heart in an instant.

"In that case, then let's go with Li Dilai, Fang Xing, Wang Hua... these six people."

Li Dilai couldn't believe it, but when she came to her senses, she excitedly kowtowed with everyone else.

"Old slave has seen Madam!"
