Editor: Henyee Translations

Those very aunt and uncle might eventually betray her!

She might as well follow her instead.

Mianmian didn’t hesitate for a moment and quickly nodded in agreement. She dropped to her knees and tearfully declared, “I am more than willing to follow you, Madam Shao!”

After contemplating for a moment, she realized that these words might not sufficiently convey her sincerity. She added, “Please, Madam, purchase me. I will work diligently and follow your instructions without fail!”

Lixia and Liqiu exchanged a compassionate glance and turned to Qiao Xuan simultaneously.

Qiao Xuan, somewhat torn between amusement and empathy, nodded and said, “In that case, I will arrange for someone to locate your aunt and uncle. Stay here for now. Liqiu, take her for a bath, wash her hair, change her clothes, and fetch her some food and drinks from the kitchen. Then, have her measured for new clothes, shoes, and socks.”

She turned to Mianmian with a warm smile and added, “Afterward, have a meal and rest. Don’t worry; I’ll take care of everything!”

Liqiu placed a reassuring hand on Mianmian’s shoulder and smiled. “Exactly. Madam has given her word, so you can relax and fear nothing.”

Mianmian’s eyes welled up with gratitude. She glanced at them, nodded, and followed Liqiu obediently.

Lixia couldn’t help but sigh with sympathy. “Mianmian is truly unfortunate!”

Qiao Wei’s overbearing and uncaring demeanor had revealed her true character. She had callously sent Mianmian away for a mere 30 taels of silver, without considering what might befall the girl on her journey to Qingdi.

Qiao Xuan remarked, “Since we’ve crossed paths, we should do what we can.”

Lixia smiled warmly. “That’s because you have a kind heart!”

If she had encountered someone like Qiao Wei, it would be a triumph if that person didn’t seize the opportunity to harm her when she was vulnerable.

Qiao Xuan smiled and promptly instructed someone to find Sun Bai and ask for his assistance.

This time, the list included several familiar names, among them Sun Bai and Sun Qian.

Upon Sun Bai’s agreement, Lixia privately disclosed to him Ms. Mao’s reprehensible actions. Sun Bai then visited Ms. Mao’s residence and secured Mianmian’s contract without any additional expenditure of silver.

Two hundred taels of silver were ample to procure a capable and intelligent maid, and Ms. Mao, although unwilling, didn’t dare to object.

Mianmian felt a wave of relief as she laid eyes on the contract and promptly kowtowed to express her gratitude to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan then escorted her to Princess Shuangfu and informed her of the situation.

Princess Shuangfu nodded with a warm smile and concurred, “Mianmian is a fine young lady. It is her good fortune to be under Madame Shao’s care.”

The ironic twist came when Qiao Wei, who had been infuriated by the events, approached Princess Shuangfu. She claimed that Mianmian was a perfect match for her and expressed her desire to purchase her as a maid, suggesting that Princess Shuangfu act as a witness.

After all, hadn’t Qiao Xuan asserted that Princess Shuangfu was superior to her? With her being the first to express interest, wasn’t that enough?

Unaware of Ms. Mao’s whereabouts, if she had known, she would have personally pursued the purchase. Ms. Mao was notorious for her greed, and turning her down was unlikely.

She seethed with anger at not being able to acquire this young girl. Even if she grew weary of ordering her around, she could always sell her!

However, Princess Shuangfu responded with a smile, “Madame Shao has already entered into a contract with Mianmian’s family and has purchased her. Perhaps you weren’t aware of this.”
