Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Mother

"Auntie, is Xu Zhu with you? Xu Daniu searched for a long time before finally finding Aunt Zheng."

"What's wrong? No, Xu Zhu said he was just wandering around by himself and didn't come with me." Aunt Zheng was startled by Xu Dani's panting appearance.

“Aunt Zheng, think quickly where she might have gone. I saw Li Baobao at my sister’s house, and it looks like she’s going to sell herself!” Xu Daniu hurriedly told him what he had seen.

"Impossible! How could she possibly sell herself? Li Baobao is still playing with my Er Gouzi at home! Da Niu, you must have misunderstood!" Aunt Zheng didn't believe what Xu Da Niu said.

“How could I be lying? I even went inside to take a look!” Xu Daniu became anxious when he heard that the auntie didn’t believe him. “Auntie Zheng, it’s not like I don’t know Li Bao.”

"That's terrible! Who brought him to your sister's house to sell himself? Could it be Xu Zhu's family? I knew they were all heartless and rotten people. How could they be so evil!"

Aunt Zheng cursed angrily, "No, no, I have to go find Xu Zhu right away. What will happen if I'm too late? This could be a matter of life and death!"

Just as Xu Zhu stepped out of the main street where the clothing store was located, he saw a group of people gathered in one place.

"You filthy bitch, I'm paying for your father's funeral and you're still not happy. If it weren't for your looks, I wouldn't even care if you knelt until your knees were broken. Bah, what a piece of trash, I'm going to buy you today! I'll make you serve me like a dog!" A skinny man cursed, and his henchman beside him was equally arrogant.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a woman selling herself to bury her father, but she didn't want the thin man to buy her as his eighteenth concubine.

Xu Zhu clicked her tongue in amazement; she had actually encountered this kind of scene, a common occurrence in ancient novels. Usually, the female or male protagonist would step in to save her in such situations to demonstrate their nobility and kindness. She wondered if she should emulate the actions of the male and female protagonists, but her feet moved in the opposite direction.

The man in black had assumed Xu Zhu would be heartbroken over the girl kneeling on the ground, but Xu Zhu simply walked away. He was very surprised and quickly caught up, asking, "Why didn't you save that woman?"

Xu Zhu's eyes widened in surprise. "Why would I save her? I can't even support myself, where would I get the money to bury her father? And look at that man, he looks very powerful. Why would I go up there and invite trouble?"

The man in black gradually became interested. What a coincidence! He had no interest in saving anyone.

At that moment, the girl who had sold herself to bury her father suddenly rushed over and grabbed the man in black clothes.

"Young master, please save me! I'll do anything for you, please buy me!" the woman pleaded desperately. Two lines of tears streamed down her face, creating a kind of capricious beauty.

"I have countless servants, I don't need another one like you. However, if you want me to rescue you, it's very simple. Sigh! How about this, I'll give you a question, if you can answer it, I'll buy you, how about that?"

The man in black saw the woman tugging at his clothes, and although he was slightly displeased, he still lifted her chin and said with a smile. He could easily see through her intentions—she just wanted to climb the social ladder!

Before the woman could react, the man in black had already posed his question: "Why do peacocks fly southeast instead of northwest?"

"Ping An, didn't our master deliberately make things difficult for that woman? I don't even know, let alone a woman who sells herself into prostitution, how would she know these things?" The baby-faced man whispered to the icy-faced man.

"Shut up!"

"You think you're so great? What are you so arrogant about! Don't you dare sneak into my room tonight." The baby-faced man muttered under his breath, clearly displeased.

The icy-faced man twitched his lips, but didn't dare to say anything more.

The woman who was burying her father was stunned. She knew nothing about poetry, but the man in front of her looked much more noble than the thin man, so she wanted him to help her out of her predicament and buy her home, preferably as a concubine.

"There are tall buildings in the Northwest," Xu Zhu said casually at this moment.

The man pondered for a long time, then burst into loud laughter.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful. This young lady is no ordinary woman! I, Wang, admire her greatly!" The man in black was pleased and took a step forward, whispering, "Didn't you say you wouldn't save her?"

“It’s different now than before. I couldn’t save him then, but now that I can answer the questions, I’ll naturally help if I can!” Xu Zhu took a step back, his expression calm.

"How come it's so wonderful? Peace?" The baby-faced man approached the iceberg again and asked.

"I don't know," the icy-faced man replied truthfully.

"Useless Ping An, you don't even know this?" The baby-faced man looked at him with disdain.

Ping An: ...You're supposed to be my study companion, and you're asking me? Have you forgotten everything I've learned?

It turns out that the line "There is a tall building in the northwest, reaching the floating clouds" in the Nineteen Ancient Poems is exactly the opposite of the line "The peacock flies southeast, lingering every five li" in the Yuefu poem.

Because the northwest building was too tall, the peacocks couldn't fly over it, so they had to fly southeast.

Xu Zhu blushed at the praise from Young Master Wang, "I dare not accept such praise! Young Master Wang, this woman who buried her father?"

"Buy her back." Young Master Wang waved his hand, not even glancing at the woman who had sold herself.

"Oh, Xu Zhu, what are you still doing here? Come with me!" Aunt Zheng remembered that Xu Zhu had said she would buy clothes for Bao'er, so she came here to try her luck, and she didn't expect to actually run into her!

"Auntie, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xu Zhu asked, puzzled, as she was pulled a few steps away from her.

It seems your family sold your child!

"!!!" Xu Zhu suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Young Master Wang caught him in time.

"Where is it? Auntie, take me there quickly, hurry, hurry!" Xu Zhu didn't dare to waste any time and forced herself to stand up to follow Aunt Zheng.

"By the way, Young Master Wang, could you please help me?" Xu Zhu had only run a few steps before turning back to ask Young Master Wang for help. Seeing that Young Master Wang had an extraordinary bearing and a powerful background, Xu Zhu decided to ask him for help.

"Helping the beauty is my honor!" Wang Liang would naturally not refuse this opportunity to get close to the beauty.

The Prince's Mansion, backyard.

"Butler Wang, look, this child is handsome and works very efficiently."

"Butler, look at these few of mine. I've been a matchmaker for so many years, you can't go wrong with these."

"mine"

"housekeeper……"

Butler Wang squinted and pointed out several boys and girls, including Li Baobao. "We don't need the rest. Let's go home!"

"Butler Wang, what are you busy with?" Xu Qin, Xu Daniu's sister, greeted Butler Wang.

"Oh, Miss Xu Qin, why aren't you serving the old lady today?" Butler Wang greeted Xu Qin as soon as he saw her coming, since she was the one who served the old lady.

“Is this a selection process? This child looks so thin and frail, he won’t survive!” Xu Qin said, pointing to the child her brother had asked her to look after.

Butler Wang's eyes narrowed, and Xu Qin immediately knew she was in trouble. Butler Wang extremely disliked others interfering in his affairs.

“Miss Xu Qin is right. It’s not easy to live outside. It’s his good fortune to be in our manor. Even the leftovers from our master are better than what he eats at home. I’m just kind-hearted and pity him!” Steward Wang said slowly, while also praising himself.

"Uncle Butler, I don't want to be sold to your family. I have a mother," Li Baobao said quickly, seeing that she was about to be sold.

"You little brat, are you tired of living? What business is it of yours? Shut up!" Wang Chunhua's second daughter-in-law grabbed Li Baobao's ear and said fiercely.

With a "waaaah," Li Baobao burst into tears. Her ear was full of nerves; how could a four-year-old child endure such pain?

"Shut up, shut up!" Wang Chunhua angrily slapped Li Bao's back several more times.

The child was in pain. He covered his ear with one hand and rubbed his back with the other.

Xu Qin couldn't bear it and wanted to step forward.

"Miss Xu Qin, do me a favor and send out the indentures so they can sign them," the steward said with a smile.

"Fine," Xu Qin sighed, and had no choice but to take the indentures and have them sign them one by one. She tried to drag her steps as slowly as possible.

Xu Qin was anxious. Where had her younger brother gone? However, she also knew that the child was probably beyond saving, since it wasn't so easy to enter the backyard of the Prince's mansion.

"Sign the document!" Finally, it was the child's turn. He was cute, but his ears were twisted red, and his eyes were filled with tears. It was truly heartbreaking!

Wang Chunhua and her daughter-in-law's greedy eyes never left the silver in the steward's hand. As soon as they heard the sign, they quickly pressed the inkpad and were about to press it on.

"stop!"
