After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Sir, come and see, I have a maid, a servant, and a flower of understanding."

As the traffickers shouted, more and more people gathered around.

He sold the most diverse types of servants, including some family members of criminals and beautiful young women who were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Yun Wan, do you see anyone suitable?" Lin Chengfeng kept his attention on the person in his arms, occasionally looking up at the stage.

Shen Yunwan frowned and turned around, a pair of stubborn black pupils entering her sight.

The little boy looked only ten years old, dark and thin. As if he felt Shen Yunwan's gaze, he turned to look at her.

I thought that after buying a carriage, I would need a servant, so I bought a little boy to keep Xier and the others company.

"What do you think of that boy?"

Shen Yunwan gestured.

"Okay, buy another maid." It doesn't matter if it's a boy. He can do some rough work when he grows up.

"How much is that little boy?" Lin Chengfeng pointed at the little boy squeezed in the back row.

When he heard someone was buying, he took the little boy out from the back seat.

Looking at him from such a close distance, the child is probably less than ten years old and is so skinny that his bones are visible.

"Madam, please buy me. I can ride a horse, fetch water, chop firewood, and eat less." Seeing that Shen Yunwan had not spoken, the little boy pleaded.

"This child is worth three hundred taels. I advise you to take a second look." Someone advised.

The vendor was worried that Shen Yunwan would not buy anything, so he said anxiously, "Madam, don't be fooled by the fact that this guy looks thin, but he is very strong."

Isn't this little wolf cub full of strength? When he went to collect the man, he almost threw him to the ground.

It was precisely because the boy was wild that he tied his legs with such thick hemp ropes and starved him for several days. Only when he was dying did he give him some food.

After repeatedly starving him for some time, the kid became much more docile.

Seeing that Shen Yunwan didn't say anything, the vendor thought she thought the food was too expensive, and then he grabbed an old woman from the crowd.

"Madam, if you buy this boy, this will be a gift to you.

Don't look at her age, she came from the palace, and she will be able to help Madam solve her problems in the future."

When he went to recruit her, he heard that the woman was from the palace. Since the price was cheap, he just took her in.

I don’t know whether she is old and in poor health, or she doesn’t want to live anymore, but she always looks like she is dying.

Not to mention the buyer, he also felt unlucky.

He was also worried that the woman might die one day.

Wouldn’t he have suffered a huge loss?

Shen Yunwan pursed her lips and said, "I've bought both of them. Give me their indentures."

Finally, the trouble was sold and a profit was made. The vendor greeted Shen Yunwan warmly and quickly handed over the procedures.

He untied the ropes that bound the two people and brought them to Shen Yunwan.

"Thank you, my lord, ma'am."

The two of them saluted Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan.

Before the two could say anything, they heard a clear voice from the other end of the stage, "Sir, please buy this servant as well."

Shen Yunwan hadn't yet realized that someone was talking to her.

But then a short and fat man came over and saluted Lin Chengfeng, "Master Lin, what a coincidence, you are here to buy a concubine too?

This woman is from the family of a criminal from Hanzhou. She is beautiful and skillful. If Lord Lin is interested, I can withdraw."

Chen Luo, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, looked at Lin Chengfeng in a somewhat flattering manner and did not notice Shen Yunwan standing beside him at all.

Lin Chengfeng was so anxious that he didn't even return the gift to Chen Luo. He turned to Shen Yunwan and wanted to swear to the sky.

"Madam, I didn't even look at that woman, I..."

"Oh, this is Madam Lin! I, Chen, was blind and didn't see Madam Lin here."

Before Lin Chengfeng could finish his words, Chen Luo raised his face and apologized to Shen Yunwan again.

Shen Yunwan waved her hand, she had already chosen the person and wanted to go back.

However, before she could raise her leg, the woman quickly came up to Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan.

When she wanted to move forward and grab Shen Yunwan's legs, the little boy beside her suddenly flashed out and stood in front of Shen Yunwan with a wary look on his face.

The old woman behind her also stepped forward to stop the woman.

"Madam, please buy me back too. I can serve you and the master."

Shen Yunwan looked down at the woman kneeling on the ground. She had a pair of watery eyes, an oval face, and her clothes were better than the others, even a bit gorgeous.

The vendor knew that the woman could be sold for a good price, so he did not use any ropes to restrain her movements and kept her well.

She is indeed a beauty, and her price should be high.

That Mr. Chen was already interested in buying her, but she turned around and asked Lin Chengfeng to buy her.

Even though Shen Yunwan had never experienced it, she could still guess some of the twists and turns involved.

Lin Chengfeng was afraid that this woman would rely on him, so he hurriedly took Shen Yunwan home without waiting for her to speak.

With a "whoosh", the carriage stopped at the door.

Before Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan got out of the car, they heard Lin Xiangbei's loud voice.

"Mom, Dad, you're finally back!"

But when he saw two strangers standing in front of the carriage, he stopped.

He grabbed his hair helplessly.

It was not until he saw Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan get off the carriage that he was sure that his parents had returned.

Chunhua and a few others also ran out and looked at the two strangers with some confusion.

"Come in first." Shen Yunwan led people into the yard.

In the hall,

Shen Yunwan sat at the head of the table and said, "There were too many people at the market just now, so I didn't have time to ask your names. What should I call you?"

The nanny bowed to Shen Yunwan and said, "My surname is Li. I was originally a nanny in the palace. When I reached the age of 15, I left the palace and returned to my hometown. My nephew cheated me out of all my money and sold me off."

When Li Ma Ma talked about this, she wanted to slap herself in the face.

She was able to leave the palace safely even in that cannibalistic palace, but she never expected that when she returned to her hometown and let her guard down, she was deceived by her eldest brother's family and ended up in her current situation.

It is better to live a miserable life than to die. She thought about how she had been walking on thin ice in the palace for so many years before she got the chance to leave.

She thought that after leaving the palace, she would be able to have a good old age with the savings she had accumulated in the palace for the first half of her life.

I thought I could still enjoy the family affection that I had been missing for so many years, but who knew that what I was waiting for was a heartbreaking scam.

After hearing what Nanny Li said, Shen Yunwan felt a little sad.

She turned to look at the little boy standing beside her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Hello, Madam. My name is Su Tian. I'm twelve years old. I was kidnapped while fleeing famine."

Shen Yunwan nodded, then considerately took out some clothes for them to wash.

Afterwards, Lin Xiangbei hurriedly pulled Su Tian to the yard to accompany him.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'll show you a set of punches." He said and performed by himself.

Nanny Li brought the food out of the kitchen and set the table.

"Madame Li, let's eat together. We usually eat together with Master Dong." Seeing that there were only six sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, Shen Yunwan understood what Madame Li meant.

There are only a few people in the family now, so there's no need for her to act like a mistress, right?!
