The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chen Siyao looked at the women in front of her who were staring at Lan Rufeng like a fangirl, and asked unhappily: "Brother Lan, how many maids do you want to hire?"

"Just four or five!" Lan Rufeng answered, looking at the men and women who had already lined up. There were about twenty to thirty people in the two teams together.

"Mr. Lan, we're lined up." The girls called out in a coquettish voice, wishing he would take off his mask to see what he looked like.

"Everyone, let me first tell you the recruitment requirements. I only recruit five maids, five servants, and two cooks. Ladies are preferred, and gentlemen will wait. Are there any girls who can read and write? If you do, please stand up." As soon as Lan Rufeng finished speaking, three or four girls stood up.

"Brother Lan, these two are no good." Chen Siyao took one look at the two beautiful women and pointed at them in objection.

"Yes, those two can't do it." Feng Qingwu also agreed.

"Why?" The two women who were pointed at asked, dissatisfied with Chen Siyao and Feng Qingwu's pointing fingers. They stared at Lan Rufeng without blinking, because he was the master after all.

"Ms. Feng, Miss Chen, recruiting people is Mr. Lan's own business. Why are you two meddling in it?" Zhong Yan also felt that the two girls were meddling a little too much. Even if they liked Lan Rufeng, they were overstepping their authority.

"Brother Lan..." Feng Qingwu pulled Lan Ru's sleeve and acted coquettishly: "They are both pretty. What if they have bad intentions and climb into your bed one day?"

"Oh my god!" Lan Rufeng was shocked, and the two girls were also angry. The pink-dressed woman Liu Xiang said angrily: "Miss Feng, Miss Chen, although my origin is not as noble as yours, I still know propriety, righteousness, and shame."

"We all admire Young Master Lan's medical skills, and we came here because we heard that he was recruiting people." Everyone shouted.

When Mu Rongchen came back from court, he saw this scene. He motioned Yang Feng to wait and walked over. When everyone saw Prince Rong, they hurriedly bowed and greeted him: "Greetings, Prince Rong."

Mu Rongchen waved his hands, watching Qingwu and Chen Siyao still not giving up on Lan Rufeng, he really wanted to strangle Lan Rufeng to death: "Master Lan recruited so many people, is he asking them to serve him?"

"Is this guy talking like a human being?" Lan Rufeng was secretly annoyed. He pulled his sleeve out of Feng Qingwu's hand and said with a smile: "Prince Rong, you are too flattering to me. I have only just started the interview."

"Uncle, Brother Lan said he would only hire five maids, five servants and two cooks." Feng Qingwu was also unhappy that her uncle said that about Lan Rufeng. Worship him! Only dead people are worshipped. Uncle is really vicious.

"Mr. Lan, there is no need to recruit people. I will take you to buy a few people." Mu Rongchen said bluntly and waved to the crowd: "Go away."

When everyone saw that Prince Rong had spoken, they didn't dare to say anything and could only disperse with reluctance.

Lan Rufeng saw Mu Rongchen coming and drove everyone away, staring at him with a look of "who is the master, you or I?"

"Wait for me to change my clothes." Mu Rongchen ignored Lan Rufeng's gaze, left his words and turned back to the mansion to change clothes.

"Brother Lan, listen to Prince Rong. The slaves we buy are easier to manage. The recruited ones are prone to committing crimes if they are not restrained." Chen Siyao explained.

"Okay!" Lan Rufeng agreed and moved the tables and chairs into the house with Zhong Yan.

Chen Siyao and Feng Qingwu led their maids into the mansion. Seeing that the mansion was very tidy, they both wished they could become the mistress of the mansion, and each of them had their own little thoughts in their hearts.

Mu Rongchen changed into a navy blue brocade robe and left the house, asking Yang Feng to go and call for help. Yang Feng ran over to call Lan Rufeng and the others to go out, Feng Qingwu and Chen Siyao insisted on not going back and wanted to follow him.

"My carriage can't accommodate so many people. You guys should go back quickly." Mu Rongchen directly drove away his niece, Chen Siyao and her servants.

"Uncle, your carriage is so big, there is enough room for everyone." Feng Qingwu tried to climb onto the carriage, but her ears were suddenly grabbed and she screamed.

"Men and women should not touch each other. Do you have any manners, girl? Go back...!" Mu Rongchen directly scolded her.

"Hmph!" Feng Qingwu angrily pulled Chen Siyao away. She didn't want to go, and she couldn't let Chen Siyao go either.

Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng speechlessly, then lifted his clothes and got into the carriage. Lan Rufeng was also innocent! She didn't want to ride in the same carriage with Mu Rongchen, right?

Yang Feng and Zhong Yan sat in the front and drove to North Street. Yang Feng was thinking in his heart that it was the first time that the prince rode in the same carriage with another woman. In the past, except for traveling with the concubine, other women could not get on his carriage.

Lan Rufeng saw Mu Rongchen staring at her, and she felt a thousand "lunatics" running through her mind. She smiled faintly and asked, "Prince Rong, is there anything wrong with me?"

"I was wondering, why would Mr. Lan, who is so talented, go astray?" Mu Rongchen hinted at something.

"Hehe..." Lan Rufeng chuckled and said, "Prince Rong, everyone has different preferences, but Prince Rong, don't worry, I am not interested in you."

"Really? Then who are you interested in?" Mu Rongchen asked with a sense of annoyance in his heart.

"There are many people I'm interested in, but they're all people from the underworld. I always stay away from people from official families like Prince Rong." Lan Rufeng stated that she looked down on people from official families.

"Master Lan, do you have a prejudice against people from official families?" Mu Rongchen's words came out instantly.

Lan Rufeng saw that this guy had misunderstood, and explained calmly: "Why did Prince Rong misinterpret my meaning? I meant the official family, and I can't afford to offend them."

"I don't think so." Mu Rongchen said indifferently.

"What do you mean by not entirely true? I didn't steal, I didn't rob, and I didn't offend anyone when I came to Beijing. And yet I was inexplicably asked to do hard labor. Who did I offend?" Lan Rufeng asked in a row.

The more Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng, the more he thought she deserved a beating. Was she the man who rarely spoke as Zhong Yan said? It was as if she had a grudge against him and was targeting him. Even though he knew she was a woman and couldn't produce any evidence to prove she was, he got angry just by looking at her showing off in front of him.

Yang Feng and Zhong Yan listened to the conversation in the carriage. Zhong Yan was a little confused, while Yang Feng was speechless.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the busiest market entrance on North Street. Lan Rufeng followed Mu Rongchen down the carriage and was stunned by the scene in front of him. On both sides of the street were people selling their bodies or being sold in cages, and there were quite a few people coming to buy.

"What? Have you never seen this kind of scene?" Mu Rongchen was a little surprised to see Lan Rufeng stunned.

"Prince Rong, don't you think this is cruel and illegal? In such a big city like Kyoto, people are openly being trafficked in. This is the first time I've seen it." Lan Rufeng looked at Mu Rongchen who didn't take it seriously and found it unbelievable.

Mu Rongchen looked at Lan Rufeng, surprised that she would say such a thing, "There is no absolute fairness in this world, only the fittest survive, and most of the people here are guilty."

"I don't agree with Prince Rong's point of view. Even if they are guilty, they can be dealt with by the law. There is no need to drag them out and sell them." Lan Rufeng disagreed with Mu Rongchen's point of view. This was an insult to human nature and a loss of moral bottom line.

"It's good enough that they are alive. Let's go! Make your own choice." Mu Rongchen did not argue with Lan Rufeng and walked into the market.

Yang Feng asked Zhong Yan to guard the carriage, while he followed behind his master and Lan Rufeng.
