Annan's mother was the daughter of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. However, she had few children and gave birth to several daughters. Later, the old man became ill and the family property was divided among the brothers from the side branches.
In the previous life, Annan's mother died at night. It is said that the family did not even have money for the funeral at that time. But just like that, at dawn the next day, Annan was sold to a brothel by her father. Later she got sick and was taken to a brothel by Lin Shaoyang. I bought it and threw it on Xu Yanquan's bed.
Xu Qingmo looked at Annan's now tender face, and the scene of her helping Xu Yanquan flashed through her mind. She looked at Annan for a long time, and then said: "Your mother and my wet nurse are old acquaintances. My wet nurse asked me to help you. You My father is currently gambling and will mortgage you to a brothel tomorrow. If you are willing, I can take you away now!"
Annan looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, speechless.
Xu Qingmo turned her head slightly and looked into the side room. On the bed, her mother was lying flat on the bed, her hands hanging down slightly, as if she had no breath.
"If you are willing to come with me, I will find a way to place your mother's... body, and I can also let you go to a place where your father will never find you, and change your face and live a new life!" Xu Qingmo said again.
Annan still didn't speak.
"Your mother is deceased, and I think the one thing she can't let go of the most is you!" Xu Qingmo looked at Annan and said softly.
"Why are you helping me?" Annan's eyes turned red again and he gritted his teeth tightly.
"Being a woman is difficult. I live a little more comfortably, so why not help you?" Xu Qingmo said lightly, "I don't have much time, so I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it!"
"No need!" Annan took a deep breath and looked up at Xu Qingmo, "I won't go with you!"
Xu Qingmo frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Annan spoke again: "My grandfather treated my mother and daughter very well. My grandfather has no other children. I don't want to change my name. But as long as I am still in the capital, my father will The ghost is still there, since you said he would sell me into a brothel, then sell me, it’s better than being entangled with him all your life!”
"It's up to you!" Xu Qingmo didn't persuade her much. Since Annan wanted to do this, let her go. She already had ways to deal with Lin Shaoyang, but she just felt sorry for this woman and wanted to repay her for helping Xu Yanquan's coffin.
Xu Qingmo was about to turn around and leave when he heard Annan say softly: "Thank you very much, girl, for taking this trip!"
Xu Qingmo's raised steps did not fall. She let out a long sigh and said without looking back: "I will find a way to buy your body contract. Before that, can you be an innocent girl? It depends on how hard your bones are!"
Annan's eyes lit up and he wanted to say something, but Xu Qingmo had already left.
Returning to the carriage, which was walking slowly in the direction of the capital, Hua Ying, after enduring it for a long time, couldn't help but ask: "Girl, Grandma Fang has never found a girl, girl, why are you helping her? "
Aunt Fang was Xu Qingmo's wet nurse. She had gone home to take care of her grandson a few years ago, but now she had become Xu Qingmo's excuse to deceive others.
"She is a poor person!" Xu Qingmo simply said without intending to explain too much to Hua Ying.
Hua Ying didn't ask. She didn't even know why Xu Qingmo knew Annan, but she knew that the girl always had her own reasons for doing what she did, and what she had to do was to trust the girl.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and when the wheels ran over the ground, they made a creaking sound. Xu Qingmo felt a little sleepy, so he leaned gently on Huaying's shoulder: "I had a dream, and in the dream there was only I am Huaying, and I will do a lot of weird things in the future, so you have to believe me, you know?"
Huaying's heart thumped and she didn't say anything. She just sat quietly. It wasn't until Xu Qingmo's breathing gradually eased that she said softly: "Slave, I only believe in girls!"
When the carriage returned to the house, it was already midnight. When the boy came to open the door, he was yawning non-stop. Hua Ying raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh on the boy's waist: "I asked you to guard the door. You He's still asleep, tell me whether you should hit him or not!"
"The little one deserves to be beaten, the little one deserves to be beaten. Sister Huaying, please spare the little one!" The boy quickly begged for mercy.
Hua Ying clenched her fists to scare the boy, and then asked: "Has anyone come to ask where the girl is?"
"The guy from the next door yard came and asked, but he didn't say anything!" The boy was quite proud.
Hua Ying poked the young man on the forehead, then threw him a purse: "You are smart! You know who is one of our own and who is an outsider!"
The boy held the purse and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Sister Huaying is generous!"
"The weather is getting colder, and cotton-padded clothes will be distributed at home. You should tidy up on weekdays. Use the money to buy some beautiful cotton threads for your sister, so that she can wear beautiful new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Clothes!" Hua Ying said a few more words, "Don't always think about buying wine and food!"
"I know, little one!" the boy replied with a smile.
Hua Ying said nothing more to him, patted him, and left quickly with Xu Qingmo.
"Xu Qingling came to inquire?" Xu Qingmo looked back at Huaying and said coldly.
Hua Ying nodded: "This is a family-born son, he is reliable!"
"Everyone in our house is naturally reliable!" Xu Qingmo said lightly, "In the past few days, you have someone go to my eldest brother's yard to keep an eye on me. If anyone comes and posts something, you must tell me immediately!"
Although Hua Ying didn't know why, she still responded: "Yes!"
When she returned to the yard, Qu Lian was still waiting. As soon as she saw Xu Qingmo, she trotted over: "Girl, you are back. If you don't come back, it will be dawn!"
"Stop whining!" Hua Ying patted Qu Lian's hand gently, "Don't attract anyone here!"
Qu Lian quickly shut her mouth.
It was indeed getting late. After the two of them helped Xu Qingmo wash up, they quickly went to rest. Just when Hua Ying was about to leave, Xu Qingmo stopped Hua Ying: "Send a few trustworthy people to An's house to keep an eye on her." Come on, let's see where Annan's father, who is worse than a pig, plans to sell her!"
"Girl, shall we bring back some of Madam's Zhuangzi shops?" Hua Ying thought for a long time and finally said.
Xu Qingmo knew that she had been in the capital for many years, and she was the daughter of a boudoir. She didn't have many useful people around her, and Huaying and the others were from a daughter's family, so they were helpless in handling many things. She really needed a few capable men by her side. superior.
"I understand!" Xu Qingmo agreed, and then said, "You should rest early!"
Hua Ying then turned and left.
