After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Shen Changle and others checked in.

According to the rules, the waiter should bring them hot water and cups.

However, the hot water was slow to arrive.

Baizhi went out to urge.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sharp scolding of the boss's wife coming from the corridor.

"You can't even hold a kettle steady! If you break it, your worthless life won't be enough to pay for it! Useless thing..."

"Oh, oh, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I will pay attention next time and won't fall down again."

This sound...

How come it looks so much like...

Shen Changle hesitated and went out to see for himself.

The child who was being beaten and scolded at the end of the corridor was the person she was worried about - Wang Xiao.

I saw that the boss lady was about to slap me again.

Wang Xiao, however, protected the kettle in his arms and didn't dare to hide.

She was furious and shouted:

"stop!"

The heavily made-up proprietress immediately changed her expression upon hearing the voice.

The collar hung loosely on the shoulders, revealing half of the shoulders.

She came up to me with a smile, twisting her body.

"Oh, did I disturb you, sir? My child is so ignorant and disturbed your rest. I'm so sorry!"

"A child at home? What is your relationship with him?"

The proprietress hesitated for a moment.

With a cautious smile, he said:

"Ah...he, he is, the child of my relative..."

Seeing the emptiness in her eyes, Shen Changle snorted coldly.

Drink lightly:

"Wang Xiao, come here!"

Wang Xiao, who was still squatting on the ground, busy arranging the kettle and cups...

Finally I could distinguish Shen Changle's voice.

He slowly raised his head in disbelief.

When I saw that beautiful and familiar face, tears instantly welled up in my eyes.

It turned out to be...

"Second Madam..."

He stood up in a daze, his red little hands nervously grabbing the hem of his clothes.

I stood there in a daze for a moment.

Until I heard Shen Changle urging again softly:

"Come here, Wang Xiao, come to me."

He then came over, wiping away his tears.

From slow steps at the beginning to jogging later.

He almost cried and threw himself into Shen Changle's arms.

Howling non-stop.

"Second Madam, it's really you, Second Madam..."

Shen Changle knew that he had been wronged.

Gently wipe his little face with a handkerchief.

Coaxing softly:

"Don't cry, I'm here, no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Wang Xiao shook his head and cried even harder.

"Second Madam, I thought... you were all dead. The village was burned down. My fourth aunt said you were all dead!"

Shen Changle was surprised.

It turned out that he was not crying for the injustice he had suffered, but was worried about them...

"No, we are all fine. We just won't be living in the village for the time being."

Wang Xiao sobbed and nodded.

Her red eyes looked behind her.

"Where's the Second in Command? He's not dead, is he?"

"No, he's fine. We were just about to go find him."

Only then did he feel completely at ease.

He lowered his head and sobbed silently.

When the proprietress saw that they knew each other, she stopped pretending.

It was an ugly smile.

"Oh, you know this little brat! He's only been helping me in my shop for a few days, but he broke a lot of my plates and bowls. You have to pay for this!"

"I didn't! I, Madam, only broke one plate and two bowls..."

"Shut up! You little bastard! I haven't even settled the bill for food and lodging with you yet!"

The proprietress interrupted Wang Xiao's argument viciously.

She gave him a sharp look.

Shen Changle couldn't stand her like this.

Holding the handkerchief, he raised his shoulders.

"The laws of the Great Qi Dynasty forbid the employment of child labor. If someone reports you, you will be punished. What are you so arrogant about?"

"Oh, hired? This brat is just a slave I bought with my money. I can use him however I want! Who has the right to control me?"

Bought?

Shen Changle frowned when he heard this, somewhat unable to believe it.

Did his uncle and aunt sell him out?

He lowered his head and asked Wang Xiao for confirmation.

He just grabbed his clothes in panic and didn't dare to look up.

It looks like it’s probably true!

Shen Changle sighed lightly and shook his head.

"He's so young, he can't be of much help here. Why don't you let me take him away? I'll pay for whatever money you need."

Hearing this, Wang Xiao raised his red eyes, looked at her with tears in his eyes, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The proprietress's eyes lit up when she heard this.

She had already regretted buying this brat.

I wanted to go back, but the human trafficker ran away!

Now that someone has offered to redeem him, she is naturally overjoyed.

However, she did not show it on her face, but just tried to test it out.

"I spent quite a bit of money buying this brat. Let me do the math!

The money I spent on buying him, the compensation for the broken dishes, plus the expenses during this period...

If you want to take him away now, you have to take at least... ten, thirty taels!"

"Thirty taels? But you only spent two taels of silver when you bought me!"

Wang Xiao was worried that Shen Changle would suffer a loss, and was also afraid that she didn't have that much money.

He stretched his little neck and argued with reason.

The proprietress looked like a scoundrel.

"The things you've eaten and used at my place these days have all been smashed. Isn't that money?"

When Shen Changle heard this, he glanced at Bai Zhi.

Baizhi understood, drew his sword, and placed it on the proprietress's neck.

The proprietress felt numb at the same time and the handkerchief in her hand fell off.

She thought that Shen Changle looked weak and frail, and he only brought two little girls with him.

He should be a soft persimmon.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a steel plate!

"Sir, sir, we can talk. The price is negotiable..."

Bai Zhi looked coldly and took out two pieces of silver from his waist.

"Two taels, and tomorrow morning I want to see his birth certificate and his birth certificate."

"Two taels, isn't two taels a little less..."

The proprietress was about to argue when she felt the cold sword energy approaching her neck.

She hastily changed her tune.

"Two taels is two taels. Tomorrow morning, as soon as it's light, I'll go to the government office to change his deed."

I heard that she gave in.

Baizhi put away his sword.

He tilted his head coldly.

The proprietress ran away in a panic.

Shen Changle brought Wang Xiao into the room.

Ask in detail what happened during the time you were apart.

"What happened? How did you get sold here?"

Wang Xiao lowered his head and rubbed the redness and swelling in his palms unconsciously.

"The money that the Second Master gave to Fourth Aunt was all gone, and she took me back once, but the village had been burned down.

She said that the second in command and the others must be dead, so she asked me to go out and make money to take care of Fourth Uncle's legs.

I couldn’t make any money, so she sold me out…”

Shen Changle called him to his side and looked at the burns on his hands.

He frowned, not quite understanding.

"So your fourth uncle doesn't care? He just watches her sell you out?"

Wang Xiao hesitated and shook his head.

"My fourth uncle didn't know about this. When my fourth aunt sold me, my fourth uncle was not here..."

what do you not know?

It's basically tacit consent!

Otherwise, why wouldn't you come to see him for so long?

Shen Changle sighed and asked Baizhi to find some ointment to help him apply it on the burns on his hands.

Seeing that he always unconsciously pulled the clothes on his belly, she carefully lifted up his thin jacket.

Only then did I see...

There were several bruises on his thin body.

My belly was scalded red by the hot water...

Shen Changle felt sad and distressed. He helped him apply the medicine and asked:

"Come with me? I'll take you to find Jiang Ci'an."

I think Ci'an would be very happy to see him.

"May I?"

"Ah."

Shen Changle answered with certainty.

He was still a little hesitant.

"Then can you tell my fourth uncle? I'm afraid that if his leg heals and he comes looking for me, he'll be worried if he can't find me..."

At least before they knew the village was burned down, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt were still very nice to him...

Seeing that he was acting silly, Shen Changle rubbed his hair with heartache.

"Okay, I'll go back with you tomorrow after I get the indenture."

It’s time to settle this account!
