Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 236: Dual Identity ( 2 )

When Yao Zhi returned to the main hall, the manager had already returned with the cart. The size was big enough for 25 people to sit comfortably.

Seeing that she was satisfied, the manager said, "Young Master, the roof can be removed or attached whenever needed. The price of the cart is 16 taels of silver, and I used 2 taels of silver to buy the fabric. Here is the rest of the money."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi didn’t take the money and said, "That’s the reward for you. Thank you for your hard work."

The Manager was delighted by this. Even if it was his duty to fulfill the guest’s requests, he indeed spent his time and effort. So, he was also hoping for some rewards.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Yao Zhi waved her hand and turned to Ling Yi. "Ling Yi, my carriage is in the backyard. Take it to the entrance and connect one of the horses to the cart."

"Yes, Master."

"Everyone, pack up. We are leaving."

While her guards and servants returned to their rooms, she went to settle the bills.

The Manager calculated the room fee and the food for a while before he said, "Young Master, the total is 7 taels and 760 Wen. You put a deposit of 10 taels of silver. Here is the extra."

Yao Zhi pushed the money back to him and said, "This is the reward for everyone."

While it’s rare, some wealthy people like to reward the servants. So the Manager didn’t refuse and bowed to her. "Then I will thank the Young Master on behalf of everyone."

"You are welcome," she smiled politely.

When her guards and servants came down, the cart and carriage were ready. Yao Zhi turned to them and said, "The guards will use the cart. The women will use the carriage."

Hearing this, Xi Yi said, "Master, we are your servants. It’s inappropriate for us to sit in the same carriage as you."

Yao Zhi looked at her and said with a frown, "You only need to follow my order. I don’t want to see anyone questioning my decision anymore."

After she said this, she stared at them.

Under her gaze, the servants finally climbed into the carriage. They thought that she would sit inside with them. Unexpectedly, Yao Zhi sat in the driver’s seat and said, "Ling Yi, just follow me later."

"Understood," Ling Yi cupped his fists and bowed.

With a light tap of her whip, the horse started to walk. Seeing this, Ling Yi was surprised. He thought for a moment and nudged the horse with his whip. The next moment, the horse followed the horse carriage.

When they finally left the inn, one of the servants said, "This was the first time I saw someone treat his slaves so well."

Hearing this, the Manager glared at him and asked, "Are you saying that our Master treats you badly?"

The servant realized his slip of tongue and quickly knelt down. "Sir, I didn’t mean that. Please forgive me."

"Be more careful with your words. If the Master hears this, you will be punished," the manager reminded him.

"Thank you, Sir."

With the introduction letter and household register booklet, the process of leaving the border town was smooth.

All her guards’ and servants’ slave deeds were with her. When they left the town, she only needed to show the deeds to the town guards.

While Yao Zhi chatted with the town guards, no one dared to say a word. It was not until they left the border town and were on their way to Zhu’an town that Xi Si dared to look at her mother and ask, "Mother, are we free now?"

Xi Yi looked at her daughter and bit her lips to hold back her tears. Her daughter was the Di daughter of Marquis Yongning. She should be living a life of wealth and glory. But now, she had to live the rest of her life as a slave.

Seeing that her mother was crying, Xi Si lowered her head and said nothing. Although she was only 9 years old, she was smart and knew that her father had been killed by the Emperor and her family had been reduced to criminals.

She glanced at her Shu sisters, Xi Wu and Xi Liu. Both of them were born to her father’s concubines. When they were still living in the Marquis’ mansion, their Yiniang was favored and often clashed with her mother, the legal wife.

Her father was busy with his official business and closed an eye regarding the audacity of his concubine.

Everyone thought that the Marquis’ true love was this Meng Yiniang, and the legal wife was someone who forcefully destroyed their love story.

But when her father was framed, and her family was exterminated, she saw that Meng Yiniang was taken away by an eunuch. From the conversations of the Imperial guards, their father was beheaded because of treason. The evidence was found in his study room.

Besides the Marquis and his close aides, the only ones who could enter the study were Meng Yiniang.

Before her grandpa was taken to the execution ground, he told her that the one framing their family was the Emperor, and Meng Yiniang was the spy planted by him. The evidence was placed there by this spy. Her Grandpa told her to continue to live on and avenge their family.

As she thought about her Grandpa’s last words, Xi Si’s eyes turned cold.

Xi Wu and Xi Liu were only 7 and 6 years old, but their mother caused the extermination of their entire family. She wouldn’t let them continue living, just in case Meng Yiniang would use them to harm her and her family again.

Inside the carriage, a young girl was planning her revenge, while outside the carriage, Yao Zhi was startled as a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Congratulations, Host! You did another good deed and earned 380,000 merit points."
