"I don't need you to serve!" Xu interrupted Xue'er's words, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of coldness, "Xue'er, don't forget, when you entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, you signed a deed of sale, and my Left Prime Minister's Mansion never made a loss-making transaction, do you understand?"

Xue'er bit her lip tightly, not knowing what to do, "Xue'er doesn't have the money to redeem herself." ”

Her family was already poor, and she sold herself into the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that she could be a maid, and the silver she sold had already been sent to Aunt Cuihua to her father's hands, and her father was seriously ill, and the silver should have been used to see a doctor, and she didn't even have a copper plate in her hand, where did she get the silver to redeem herself?

"In that case, then I'll show you a clear way, you can't redeem yourself, this deed of sale will be transferred to Xiangchunlou's mother! Xu handed the deed of sale in his hand to Cuihua and explained, "Tell my mother to treat Xue'er girl well." ”

With a bang, Xue'er's head went blank, she just didn't know where Xiangchun Building was, but she could also see a little clue from Xu's eyes, "No... Madam, don't sell Cher, Cher is a cow and a horse, no matter what Mrs. asks Cher to do, Cher will be obedient, Madam, don't sell Cher. ”

"Oh! That's a nice thing to say, will you be obedient to whatever I tell you to do? Then what happened to you just now? I should send you to a place like Xiangchun Building, so that you can live a day of sending you, your watery face, there will definitely be many guests like it, this may be more suitable for you than the concubine room of Lord Zuo Xiang. Xu sneered, ignoring Xue'er's pleading, Cuihua, what are you still doing in a daze? Take her down. ”

"No. Madam.. Please, ma'am. Xue'er determined from Xu's mouth that Xiangchunlou was a brothel, and her heart was even more frightened and uneasy, she couldn't imagine what would happen if she really fell into that kind of place, Xue'er knelt in front of Xu's and kept kowtowing, "Madam, let the slave maid be a maid, even if it is a fire girl, don't sell the slave maid to that kind of place, please Madame." ”

Xu got up, walked in front of Xue'er, stopped her kowtowing, pinched her jaw with one hand, her eyes were tearful, and her pitiful appearance really hurt people's hearts!

"There is no shortage of maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there is a lack of a concubine. Xu forced her to look directly into her eyes and spoke meaningfully.

Xue'er was stunned, there were too many emotions flashing in her eyes, she understood what Xu meant, and there were only two choices in front of her, either to be sold into a brothel and serve those people, or to be a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion and serve Xiangye. Biting her lip tightly, no matter who it was, the balance in her heart had already tilted, Xue'er looked at Xu uneasily, "But... Xiang Ye he. Just now... ”

The displeasure that Lord Zuo Xiang showed when he was leaving in the pavilion just now, she understood, she had already angered Lord Zuo Xiang, how could Lord Zuo let herself be his concubine?

As if knowing what Xue'er was thinking, Xu sneered and shook Xue'er's face away, "I can't help you anymore, your actions just now, Xiangye has already angered me, even if I have the heart to help, I can't do anything." ”

Xue'er's body collapsed suddenly, is she really going to be reduced to a brothel? No, she doesn't, although she is poor, she is also an innocent girl's family, once she reaches that kind of place, her life will never be clean. But does she have a choice now?

"But... I can give you a deadline. Suddenly, Xu Shi spoke, but there was a touch of weirdness in his eyes.

Xue'er seemed to see the last glimmer of hope, and grabbed Xu's sleeve excitedly, "Madam, Xue'er thank you, as long as Xue'er is not sold to a brothel, Xue'er will do anything." ”

"Well, tonight you must get the old man to agree to accept you as a concubine, as for what method to use... Xu Shi looked at Xue'er's expectant little face, and a trace of coldness appeared in his heart, "Xiangye is taking care of the second miss during this time, it should be very tired, do you know what to do?"

Xue'er's face turned pale, and then turned from white to red in an instant, Xu's meaning was so obvious, how could she not hear it?

"But... Xue'er wanted to say something, but Xu didn't give her any more chances.

"Okay, whether you can stay or not depends on your ability, tomorrow morning, I am waiting for your good news, I hope that when the time comes, you can appear in a new identity and call me sister. Xu interrupted her coldly, and then glanced at Cuihua, "Take her down and take a bath." ”

"Yes, ma'am. Cuihua took the order and turned to Cher, "Miss Cher, come with me." ”

At this moment, Xue'er was still panicked, and those two words always came to her mind, seducing? She is an innocent girl, how can she know how to seduce a man? When she thinks of this, her heart is not only uneasy, but shy, but what choice can she have? If she can't get the mercy of Lord Zuo Xiang tonight, tomorrow, she may really be sold to Xiangchun Building! She only felt that she was blocked on a single-plank bridge at the moment, with a wolf in front and a tiger behind, no matter which way she went, what awaited her was an abyss from which she could never recover.

Late at night, in the study of the Wushuang Pavilion. Mu Jinyan looked at the booklet in front of him intently, this time in Youzhou, the emperor was very important to him, he must make good use of this opportunity to behave in front of the emperor.

was studying, but heard a slight knock outside the door, Mu Jinyan couldn't help frowning, "Who?"

"Slave, slave. There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, which was an unfamiliar voice for Mu Jinyan, which made Mu Jinyan's eyebrows tighten even more, and he yelled outside the door, "Go down, don't disturb!"

The voice outside didn't sound again, just when Mu Jinyan thought that the maid outside the door had left, he heard the voice coming in again, and it seemed to be a little more firm than just now, but the trembling in it was still clearly visible, "Xiangye, slave maid." The slave maid is here to bring tea to Xiangye. ”

"Come in. Mu Jinyan listened to the tea delivery, and coldly ordered, and then buried his head in the file on the table.

The door was pushed open and closed again, the sound was extremely subtle, as if he was afraid of disturbing Mu Jinyan in the room, the teacup was gently placed on the table, the delicate and shy voice held the tray, and stood quietly on the side, biting his lip tightly, his face was flustered and nervous, and even his body was trembling faintly.

Seeing that Mu Jinyan was concentrating on the things in her hand and didn't even look at her, Xue'er thought about the eldest lady's explanation, thinking about the fate she was about to face tomorrow morning, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly knelt on the ground. The sound of kneeling on the ground suddenly attracted Mu Jinyan's attention, raised his head, and saw the kneeling maid on the ground, his eyebrows frowned, "Why don't you leave?" The voice was cold, with a bit of reproach and displeasure, and his eyes quickly returned to the file.
