Gu Qinghe waved her hand and gave away dozens of taels of silver...all her belongings.

How dare the matchmaker take his money? She pushed him and said, "Sir, you are new here and you think highly of us. How dare this old slave take any more money from you!"

Gu Qinghe pushed it to her with a painful heartache: "Just bring all the people here for me to see."

The toothy woman couldn't refuse and smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't be seen: "The actions of a young master from the capital are different. I would like to thank you on behalf of those little girls."

She led Gu Qinghe to the yard, asked him to wait for a moment, and went to call for help.

The little beggar was rescued by her out of chivalry, and followed her closely, carefully exploring the small houses around. When Gu Qinghe asked him what he was doing, he just kept shaking his head, lowering his eyes and raising them again after a while.

Gu Qinghe ran out of patience and asked directly, "Is there someone you care about here?"

The little beggar pursed his lips and didn't answer.

The flattering and fawning mouth dropped, without the arrogance he had when he was trying to scam people, and he actually looked a bit like a pitiful beggar.

Gu Qinghe thought, maybe there was someone he really cared about who was captured here. But it was just a chance encounter, she couldn't care so much, couldn't save so many people, and didn't have the money.

The "wait a moment" the matchmaker mentioned really meant wait a moment. After about three or two minutes, a group of girls came out. They were lined up in two rows, all of them seemed to be in their teens.

They were wearing clothes of various colors: red, white, green, and yellow. Each of their little faces was filled with fear and anxiety about the future.

Gu Qinghe felt depressed.

In my previous life, there was a popular saying on the Internet: God gave me a compassionate heart, but did not give me the ability to save all living beings.

For the first time, she deeply felt the helplessness in the depths of her soul, in a feudal dynasty with power but no human rights, in the base of human traffickers, and in herself who had no money or power.

She... couldn't save them.

In the whole yard, only the wrinkled old woman was still grinning. With her yellow teeth, she said to Gu Qinghe in a flattering way, "Sir, do you think there is anyone you like among these people?"

Gu Qinghe forced himself to concentrate and looked at them one by one. Many of them were thirteen or fourteen years old, and quite a few were eleven or twelve years old. They all had their heads hung and their faces sad, with a dim look in their eyes.

Seeing this, the old woman glared at them with her cloudy eyes: "Look up! Did your father or mother die in your family?! Why are you so sad? Who are you showing it to?! If you want to have a good life in the future, you should be more sensible and smile at this young master!"

Gu Qinghe frowned and looked at her: "Shut up, I'll choose it myself."

"I am too talkative," the old woman said, changing her expression as if she were flipping a book, and slapping her lips lightly. "Young Master, please choose by yourself. I am waiting on the side. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

Gu Qinghe said calmly: "Did you come here yesterday?"

of course not.

Two new maids were bought yesterday. They were very noisy and were whipped until they were bleeding. Now they can't stand up. How could the matchmaker let this young man who spent tens or hundreds of taels know about it? She lied, "These are the ones who came in the past two days. They are the best looking among the matchmakers. Take a look and see if any of them suit your taste."

He spoke vaguely and avoided answering the question.

Then he didn't come yesterday. Gu Qinghe understood in his heart, and his face sank as he said, "I said I would come yesterday, and you are just using someone from a few days ago to perfunctorily deal with me?! Believe it or not, I will go back to the county government office right now and tell my brother to shut down your dental clinic!"
