Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 277: Fair Trade ( 4 )

After a moment of pause, Yao Zhi continued, "There are a total of 150 drops inside. This is all the spiritual spring water I have. You can add it to your food or mix it with tea or water."

Hearing this, Lu Qianxuan glanced at Su Moye. He took the bottle and handed it to him. Opening the lid, he took a sniff, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Just by sniffing the jade bottle, his mind felt refreshed, and his tired body felt lighter. This alone showed that this thing was genuine.

Noticing his delight, Yao Zhi added, "But I must remind the General that it’s not advisable for a mortal to consume it directly, as it might cause internal injuries or even lead to death."

Lu Qianxuan kept the jade bottle in his clothes and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Young Master Lei."

Since they had finished their business, Yao Zhi stood up and said, "I still have a matter to attend to. So I will take my leave now."

Unlike before, this time Lu Qianxuan stood up and said, "Young Master Lei, let me send you off."

Yao Zhi didn’t refuse, and they walked side by side to the main gate.

Usually, the main gate only opened when the master of the house was going out or coming back. Unless there was a very important guest, all guests, including the Madam, would enter and leave through the side gate.

When the guards saw the Master personally sending Yao Zhi off, they quickly opened the main gate.

Standing a few steps behind them, Steward Han was surprised, but he kept it in mind to never let this guest walk through the side gate again.

They only waited for a few minutes before Ling Shi’er arrived, driving the horse carriage.

Before leaving, Yao Zhi turned to Lu Qianxuan and said, "General, the spring plowing is coming. If you need anything, you can find Shiqi at my storefront. He will relay your message to me."

Lu Qianxuan glanced at the young man standing behind her and nodded. "Alright."

After she sat inside the carriage, Yao Zhi said, "Go to the storefront."

"Yes," Ling Shi’er nodded, and with a whip, the horse carriage moved.

When they arrived at the storefront, it was 10 o’clock in the morning. Seeing that it was their master, everyone quickly gathered in the storefront.

Sitting in front of them, Yao Zhi took out two booklets from the wooden box and called out, "Xi Er, Xi San, come forward."

Hearing their names being called out, they exchanged glances but still came forward. The two of them kneeled down and bowed. "Master, what order do you have for us?"

Yao Zhi’s gaze landed on Xi Er a few seconds longer before she said, "I promised all of you before that I would help you free yourselves from your status as slaves and give you a chance to start a new life."

When they heard this, everyone looked at her with widened eyes. They never doubted their master’s capability, but they never expected her to fulfill her promise so fast.

After a moment of pause, Yao Zhi continued, "From today onwards, all of you are no longer slaves."

"Your past selves have died, and your identities also disappeared with that. Now, you are the descendants of farmers. Here are your household registers as good citizens."

Showing the booklets to them, she asked, "Xi Er, Xi San, I will give you a chance to choose. Will you continue serving me, or will you choose freedom to live freely?"

Hearing this, both Xi Er and Xi San were stunned. They didn’t want to serve anyone and become lowly servants forever. But they didn’t dare to choose freedom either, since they knew nothing about how to earn money.

From a young age, they were groomed as young ladies from the Marquis Yongning’s family. They were skilled in the four arts and were perfect candidates to marry into prestigious families.

But if they had to live alone, they weren’t sure if they could survive. If they stayed, at least they would be protected and wouldn’t have to worry about lacking food, clothes, or a place to stay.

While Xi San was considering staying, the image of the gentleman she saw before flashed in Xi Er’s mind. At that moment, she made up her mind.

She kowtowed to Yao Zhi three times before she said, "Master, please forgive me. I’m choosing freedom."

Yao Zhi already guessed that she wouldn’t stay and nodded. She took ten one-teals of silver ingots from her waist bag and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won’t blame you." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

She gestured for her to stand up and handed her the money and the booklet.

Looking into Xi Er’s eyes, she added, "From today onwards, you are a free person. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. I hope you will have a good life for the rest of your life."

Xi Er accepted the items with a lowered head and replied, "Thank you, Master."

Seeing that her master gave her sister some money, Xi San also made up her mind. She kowtowed to Yao Zhi and said, "Master, I want to leave with my sister."

Yao Zhi nodded and gave her the money and her household register. She looked at the teenage girl in front of her and said, "Xi San, you are still young and lack awareness of the outside world."

"In the future, be more careful when you do things or make any decisions. Don’t trust others easily. Always prioritize your safety first."

Xi San didn’t understand why her master told her these words, but she still nodded and replied, "I will keep your words in my mind, Master."

Yao Zhi gave them another glance and said, "Both of you can take away the clothes and items I gave you before. Also, you can leave whenever you want. There is no rush."
