Chapter 17 Young Master, Help Me
Xia Taoyuan took Zhu'er out of the silver shop and strolled around Jinshi Street for a while. There was nothing to see, so she brought some snacks for the maids and returned home.
When I walked into a small alley, I heard a crying sound coming from the depths of the alley. It sounded like a woman's voice was sad, accompanied by some rude insults.
Xia Taoyuan wanted to stop it, but Cui'er stopped her. Cui'er said, "Miss, you can't do that."
Xia Taoyuan was also hesitant, wondering whether to intervene or not. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a person running out from the other end of the alley. It was a little girl, followed by two big men.
I think it was this little girl who was crying just now. When she saw Xia Taoyuan and Cui'er, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted for help. The two big men caught up with her and grabbed her hair.
Cui Er pulled Xia Taoyuan to leave, but the little girl's shrill cry made Xia Taoyuan feel sorry for her. She stopped and shouted at the two men in a rough voice: "How dare you rob a girl in broad daylight? Where do you think the law is?"
She didn't know what was going on with the other party, so she accused him of raping a woman, and she must not lose in terms of momentum.
The little girl hid behind Xia Taoyuan and kept sobbing. One of the bearded men sneered, "Who do you think you are? Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Xia Taoyuan was frightened for a moment, but justice prevailed over reason in the end, and he also sneered like the big man: "You think I'm afraid of you, but you two filthy bastards dared to rob people in broad daylight. I will arrest you two and take you to the government."
The bearded man was about to take action but was stopped by another man. This man was relatively rational. Looking at the gorgeous clothes Xia Taoyuan was wearing and how imposing he looked just now, he was probably some prince from some family. It would be difficult to say if he offended him.
The big man clasped his fists and said politely, "My name is Li Si. May I know which family you are from?"
Xia Taoyuan sneered: "No young master would tolerate someone forcibly seizing a commoner girl!"
Li Si's expression remained unchanged, and he was still very polite: "Sir, this girl was bought by our master at the cost of twenty taels of silver, not by force."
Xia Taoyuan heard this and asked the little girl, who just cried and nodded and shook her head. She then said to Li Si, "You bought her for 20 taels, but she doesn't want to go with you. I'll add 10 taels, so I'll give you 30 taels. You won't lose anything. Let her go!"
Unexpectedly, Li Si chuckled twice and said, "Sir, you heard it wrong, twenty taels? I just said two thousand taels."
When Xia Taoyuan heard this, she suddenly felt furious. She had just said it was twenty taels, but in a moment it became two thousand taels. Not to mention that she didn't have two thousand taels, even if she did, she wouldn't give these two things away for cheap.
Li Si and the bearded man laughed loudly, their laughter was extremely harsh. The little girl cried and cried, "Sir, don't listen to their nonsense, they only spent ten taels of silver."
Xia Taoyuan suppressed her anger and said to Li Si, "Two thousand taels is not a small amount. Could you please lead the way? I will go and talk to your master." She thought that she could delay it as long as possible. At this time, there were already passers-by watching.
The bearded man shouted, "You nosy guy, you have to be reasonable in everything you do. We spend money to buy a maid and you still want to intervene. Tell me, what does this have to do with you? We have the girl's indenture!" Then he took out a piece of paper from his arms and waved it to the onlookers.
The people around started pointing and talking. Xia Taoyuan's head buzzed. He realized that he was too impulsive and had not thought the matter through.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the little girl begging, "Master, please save me, they want to sell me to a brothel, not as a maid."
Hearing this, Xia Taoyuan felt sad. Such a young girl was sold to a brothel, and her fate would definitely be to be abused. But the other party now had the girl's indenture, and no one could do anything about it. She was in a dilemma. She was angry that the girl's family sold her, and she hated herself for not being able to do it.
Li Si suddenly asked, "How about it, sir, can you let us go?"
Xia Taoyuan's face turned blue and red, and she was very confused. If she let them go, the girl's life would be over; if she didn't let them go, she couldn't find a reasonable reason.
As she was hesitating, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her. Xia Taoyuan looked closely. Wow, this person was dressed in red, holding a folding fan. His eyebrows were like willow leaves, his eyes were like stars, his nose was high, and his lips were smiling. What a handsome, romantic and elegant young man!
"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's Master Qi." When Li Si's voice came, Xia Taoyuan suddenly felt his face burning. He secretly cursed himself and regained his composure.
The man in red smiled and said, "Brother Li, right? I wonder if you could do me a favor and let this girl go. I will return all the money to Mother Zhou later." Not only was he good-looking, but his voice was also pleasant.
Li Si laughed heartily and said, "Master Qi, that's not true. Not to mention a little girl, even if it's ten or eight people, I will do whatever you want." After saying that, he left with the bearded man.
