The matter of the eldest prince came to an end, but the prestige of the county lord could never return to the past.

The second son and the third son were also avoided by people, and no matchmaker was willing to come to their home to talk to the matchmaker. No one dares to marry the youngest daughter who has not yet married.

Of the five girls who were rescued at the beginning, three of them had been taken away by their families, and the remaining two had nowhere to go, Xia Yao was afraid that the county master would be angry with the little girl after they left, so she simply took the person away and planned to place them elsewhere.

And the little girl who returned home was inevitably pointed at, and their family members gritted their teeth and fled from their homeland and left the country.

The county magistrate sent away Xuanyuan Luo, the lord of Yama, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but who knew that within two days, a holy decree was issued from above, depriving him of his official position and demoting him to a commoner.

This is good, there is no right to protect themselves, their family is crowded out inside and outside the town, and in the end there is no way.

They had no choice but to sell their possessions, take the silver taels, and run far away.

But their family is not a business material, and they have lost a lot of money when they come and go.

In the end, although he did not starve to death, he was completely incomparable to the luxurious life he once had.

*

The carriage was grunting, and Xia Yao was holding a little girl like a porcelain doll teasing.

"Come, baby, tell my sister whether you like mung bean-flavored pastries or red bean-flavored pastries." She held a piece of snack in one hand and shook it in front of the little girl.

The little girl had a serious face, as if thinking about a major event in her life.

She looked left and right, looking difficult to choose, and after a while, she said slowly: "The baby wants red beans." Having said that, his eyes showed a desperate desire for another piece of mung bean pastry.

Xuanyuan Luo looked at it and laughed, and said: "They are all wives, and they still call themselves sisters, are they ashamed?" ”

Xia Yao said confidently: "I'm only in time this year, what's wrong with my sister?" ”

He raised his eyebrows, threw himself on her, and hugged her in his arms, "Sister, the baby is also hungry, can you feed me?" He pinched his throat and said in a milky voice.

Xia Yao immediately blushed with shame and pushed him, "Is there a child?" What are you doing? ”

"What do you say?" He snapped and kissed Xia Yao's face.

The face of the originally radiant little girl on the side turned pale in an instant, tears swirled in her eyes, she sniffled, and mustered up the courage to throw the pastry in her hand on Xuanyuan Luo's body.

Xuanyuan Luo, who was smashed, "........."

Xia Yao, who also looked confused, what was the situation with "........."?

"You...... You ......," the little girl trembled and pointed her hand at Xuanyuanluo, "go away...... Bad apple! Bad guy ......" in the end, there is already a crying tone.

The little girl was taken away when she was five or six years old, and she has been abused by the eldest prince in a dark room since then, so when she saw Xuanyuan Luo pressing on Xia Yao, she was scared, and even her body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Yao wanted to push away Xuanyuan Luo and hug the child to comfort and comfort.

Who knew that Xuanyuan Luo not only didn't let go, but hugged him tighter, and continued to say in a milky voice: "Sister, let's play games together!" Don't want her, okay? ”

Xia Yao, who was frightened and had goosebumps, "........." You are good, we can still play happily.

"If my sister doesn't speak, I'll take it as my sister's acquiescence!" After Xuanyuan Luo finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Yao to react, one got up, lifted the little girl and threw her into the arms of the guards who were driving the carriage outside.

"Let her sit in the back." He commanded.

"Yes." The guard carefully held the little girl, stopped the carriage and sent the child to the back.

Xia Yao's face was unhappy, she puffed out her mouth, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"I want you to play with me, sister!" Xuanyuan Luo said innocently.

Xia Yao rolled her eyes, not wanting to bother with him anymore.

"Alright, alright." He regained his original voice, explaining, "She always had to adapt alone. ”

Xia Yao understood that what Xuanyuan Luo said was right, these rescued girls had more or less psychological problems, which were manifested in the fact that they were afraid of life, did not dare to communicate with others, and the whole person was cowering.

When the little girl in the sedan chair lived in the inn before, Xia Yao was very good to her, and it was precisely because of this that when she was about to leave, she hugged Xia Yao's leg and refused to go to the sedan chair behind.

Xia Yao had no choice but to take the girl with her all the time, and this brought out her feelings.

After a while, Xia Yao said awkwardly: "Then it can be a while!" ”

Xuanyuan Luo understood that Xia Yao was giving in, and he said: "It's all our people here, and they are both women, so we can ensure that she won't be harmed, isn't it good to let her have more contact?" ”

Xia Yao was silent.

Xuanyuan Luo held her in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If you are really reluctant, why don't we take her back to the palace?" ”

Xia Yao's eyes lit up and said, "Is it okay?" ”

"Yes, yes." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Xia Yao squeaked in her heart, thinking that she had caused him trouble again.

Xuanyuan Luo's identity was already embarrassing, and she couldn't help him in the palace, so she could only let him face the sword and sword shadow outside.

"Forget it! This girl is too young, let me raise a child, what do I think in my heart? Xia Yao smiled and said.

Although the little girl is favored by her, compared to Xuanyuan Luo, she naturally knows how to make trade-offs.

Xuanyuan Luo looked surprised, "Didn't you like it just now?" ”

"Besides, you don't need to raise this child? Naturally, someone takes care of it. Xuanyuan Luo persuaded.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Luo thought about her so much, this made Xia Yao even more determined not to raise a little girl, and she exaggerated: "Doesn't I want to be with you?" No one is allowed to insert himself between us. She approached Xuanyuan Luo's face and exhaled like a land: "Isn't it good? ”

Xuanyuan Luo said: "Of course, it's just the two of us. The tip of his tongue twisted around, and in an angle that Xia Yao couldn't see, there was a strange brilliance, "It's just us." ”

Nightfall –

Xia Yao and the others hurried desperately to rush to the town where they settled before it was completely dark, and after some care, the tired people quickly fell asleep.

Xuanyuan Luo was talking to Qing Xi outside at this time.

"Did you find someone?" He asked coldly.

"My subordinates have asked Miss Jiao'er, but she doesn't want to go anywhere else." Qing Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally said his words.

"Muddy." Xuanyuan Luo suddenly shouted, "How long have you been with me?" ”

Qinglu was taken back by Xuanyuan Luo when he was very young, about dozens of years, as soon as he heard this, he knew that it was not good, and quickly knelt down and asked for guilt: "My subordinates are guilty, please punish the prince." ”

"It's good to know." His eyes glowed silver in the cold moonlight, "Don't come out, you forget who your master is?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare." The head of the green is lowered.

"I'll spare you now, and when I return to the capital, I'll go and get the punishment myself." Xuanyuan Luo said.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded"

"Have you found someone?" Xuanyuan Luo asked again.

"This ......," the green mud swallowed, "because time is pressing, so I haven't found it for a while." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Luo bowed, "Continue to look for it tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Qinglu didn't understand why the prince was in a hurry to send the group of little girls away, especially the Jiao'er girl, who was in a sedan chair with the princess during the day, and was quite happy. But where can he question the master's affairs?

The only thing he could do was to help those poor children find a good family.

Xuanyuan Luo returned to the room, his eyes revealing a deep obsession, and his hand ran over Xia Yao's hair, cheeks, lips, and neck...... His mouth kept saying, "Here, here, and here...... It's all mine, I'm alone. ”

Qianzhou is a large state capital, and Qingshui Town is completely incomparable with it.

The men and women outside are dressed in beautiful silk and satin, with thin flowers between their eyebrows, and their hair is tied into beautiful sideburns, and some bold women, when they meet the man they like, they are not shy to throw the purse in their hands into each other's arms.

If you see the right eye, let's go to the teahouse for a drink and talk about life.

If the man didn't mean that, the girl was not discouraged and continued to laugh and swagger through the market.

Its atmosphere is much more open than that of the capital.

The shopkeeper in the store saw that Xia Yao was interested, and proudly explained: "Our Qianzhou, a beautiful beauty, is a big scenery." ”

Xia Yao smiled, "Indeed." ”

Xuanyuan Luo touched his chin, thoughtful.

After breakfast, Xia Yao found that there were a lot fewer people, and she asked strangely, "What about them?" ”

"I'll let them go and see if there is any situation in this Qianzhou?" Xuanyuan Luo lied without changing his face, obviously asking them to find out if there was anyone willing to adopt Jiao'er.

Xia Yao nodded and said, "Yes, what if there are people like Qingshui Town?" Check, you have to check!"

She felt that her blood was boiling, and she was about to transform into Superman and save the poor little beauty from fire and water.

Xuanyuan Luo's face was gentle, "...... The lady is right! It has to be checked, and it has to be checked! He would never tell her that this Qianzhou is a famous Qing official Wang Shuizhen in charge, who dares not to look long and do bad things under his nose?

Just as they were talking, Jiao'er ran over, she hugged Xia Yao's thigh and cried, "Sister, don't you want a baby?" ”

"How do you say that?" Xia Yao was stunned.

"Uncle Qing said that you have to give the baby to someone else." Jiao'er raised her head, her white and tender face was full of tears.

Xia Yao hesitated, relaxed her tone, and said softly: "The baby is still so young, of course he wants to live with his father, right?" ”

"That'...... With my father and mother, is my sister also together? Jiao'er didn't give an inch, and didn't let Xia Yao fool around.

"My sister has important things to do and can't be with the baby." Xia Yao cruelly interrupted her conjecture.
