Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince

Chapter 282 The woman who sold herself to bury her father

Xue Qing: "Are you going home now?"

"Well, let's go back." Qian Kun turned around and walked towards his carriage.

Qian Kun knew that there was a cold gaze staring at him from behind. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he walked towards the carriage calmly.

Xue Qing turned around and came to Jiang Yi: "Madam, please get in the car."

Jiang looked at Xue Qing apologetically, and the two of them got on the carriage one after the other.

Xue Qing suddenly asked: "Sister Yi, don't you know Qian Kun?"

Jiang Yi originally came from Youranju, so why didn’t I hear her say hello to Qiankun?

Jiang Yi lowered her head and adjusted her skirt: "You are the boss of Youranju now."

He grinned and said, "I am yours."

Xue Qing tilted his head and said jokingly: "Sister Yi knows how to joke! Got it"

Wu Yu and Cheng Niu were still driving in front.

Qian Kun's carriage was 10 meters ahead of them.

After traveling for several days, nothing happened.

Every time Xue Qing took a break, she would pick flowers on the roadside and make them into a garland, and she and Jiang Yi would each wear one.

Wu Yu looked at Xue Qing with tender eyes. She was wearing a wreath and had a smiling face.

This scene happened to be seen by Jiang Yi, and she inadvertently blocked Wu Yu's sight: "Qing'er is so beautiful!"

Although Xue Qing was wearing a maid's clothes, and no one knew how she had made her face the same color as the dirt, it still couldn't hide her beautiful facial features.

Xue Qing now looks completely like a young girl, and her height is almost the same as mine.

That day, the two teams finally arrived at a prosperous town. Since this was the most convenient road from the Great Zhou to the Western Regions, even though it was a small town, it was very prosperous.

As soon as Xue Qing and Jiang got off the carriage, Cheng Niu was very familiar with the place and took them to stay in the largest inn in the town.

It was still early, and Xue Qing wanted to go for a walk, so the other three naturally had to accompany him. Their common mission now was to protect Xue Qing.

Xue Qing and Jiang Yi walked in front, while Wu Yu and Cheng Niu followed behind them. The four of them walked on the busy streets of the town. The streets were crowded with people and noisy, making it very lively. The sun shone on the bluestone road, casting mottled shadows.

Xue Qing and Jiang Yi were both wearing men's clothing, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

Xue Qing looked around the stalls curiously. When she saw some new gadgets, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she bought them without hesitation.

I just bought an exquisite wood carving. The patterns on the wood carving are delicate and vivid, as if telling an ancient story.

At this moment, a large group of people gathered not far ahead, and faint cries could be heard from the crowd from time to time. Xue Qing's curiosity was instantly aroused, and he involuntarily walked towards the crowd.

Cheng Niu looked alert, stretched out his hand to stop Xue Qing, and said anxiously: "Sir, the situation is unclear, I'm afraid it's dangerous, let's not join in the fun."

Xue Qing: "Is there anyone performing over there?"

Xue Qing was dressed as a man at this time, so Cheng Niu called her "Young Master".

The boss who sold wood carvings put down his work, shook his head, and sighed as he recounted what happened. "Oh, how pitiful! They were a father and daughter who wanted to come to this town to make a living, but the man suddenly got sick and passed away. The daughter was left alone and penniless, and could only sell herself to bury her father." The boss' voice was full of sympathy and helplessness, and he sighed as he spoke.

After hearing this, Xue Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

I didn’t expect that such a thing really existed in ancient times!

She looked up at the sky and sighed, "Life is unpredictable and fate is unfortunate. This woman is really worthy of sympathy." After that, she shook her head, as if trying to dispel the sad mood.

"Young Master, let's go back to the inn and don't stay here too long." Cheng Niu advised again.

Xue Qing nodded and prepared to turn around and go back to the inn.

Jiang Yi and Wu Yu didn't say anything. They just glanced at the crowd.

But the way back would pass by the place where she sold herself to bury her father. As they approached, they saw a thin woman kneeling on the ground, her hair a little messy, her face haggard, her eyes full of tears and despair. In front of her was a tattered wooden board with the words "Selling herself to bury her father" written crookedly on it.

Xue Qing stopped and looked at the woman quietly, with pity in his eyes. The woman noticed someone was watching her and raised her head, her eyes full of pleading and helplessness.

"Girl, don't be too sad, maybe there will be a turning point." Xue Qing said softly.

The woman's lips trembled slightly, and her voice was hoarse: "Thank you for your comfort, sir. I have no other choice now. I just hope to find a kind person who can let my father rest in peace."

Xue Qing was silent for a moment, then he took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to the woman: "Take this silver and bury your father properly."

The woman looked at Xue Qing in surprise, her eyes full of gratitude: "Sir, you are so kind, I have no way to repay you."

Xue Qing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I just hope you can live a stable life in the future." After that, he left with the three of them.

The woman knelt in front of Xue Qing and pulled at her clothes: "Thank you for your kindness, young master. I have no way to repay you. I know I am not worthy of you. I am willing to be your maid. I will repay you through fire and water in this life."

After hearing this, Xue Qing couldn't help but mutter in his heart, why is this not following the rules? Shouldn't he pledge his love to her?

Xue Qing looked at Jiang Yi, then at Wu Yu.

Wu Yu shook her head: "Girl, go get the silver and bury your father. If you keep pestering us here, we will doubt your intentions!"

When the woman heard this, she looked aggrieved and tears fell from her eyes: "Thank you very much, gentlemen. I have nothing to repay you. I can only be your maid to repay your kindness."

Jiang Yi said impatiently: "We don't lack maids in our family. Giving you that little bit of silver is just a small matter for us."

The woman looked a little embarrassed. She let go of the hand that was holding the corner of Xue Qing's clothes and knocked her forehead.

The four of them left and returned to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Wu Yu followed Xue Qing into his room. Upon seeing this, Jiang Yi left on the pretext of arranging dinner.

"Qing'er, you shouldn't have gone to save that woman today," Wu Yu blamed her seriously for the first time.

"Then why don't you say so?" Xue Qing sat on a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

"The person who is going to assassinate you is very likely mixed in among them," Wu Yu replied simply.

Xue Qing lowered his head and smiled: "Wu Yu, Wu Yu, your imagination is too poor."

Wu Yu frowned. What does this mean?

"Maybe that woman was sent by my enemy to get close to me and then take the opportunity to kill me," Xue Qingyun said calmly.
