Su Lingling's sword was on the neck of the old bustard, the old bustard trembled with fright, raised his hand and said: "The girl is slow and slow, this sword doesn't have eyes, the girl put the sword away first, and have something to say!" ”

"Do you know where they went?" Su Lingling asked coldly.

"I don't know! I really don't know! Su Lingling didn't put away the sword, and the old bustard was so frightened that he couldn't speak, "She, they should, no longer be in Tai'an!" ”

"And where did they go?"

"How do I know that?"

Seeing that the old bustard didn't seem to be lying, Su Lingling withdrew his sword, and without saying much, he was about to leave, the old bustard took a few steps back, and his eyes signaled to a few big men behind him, and those big men would rush towards Su Lingling, Su Lingling frowned, I'm afraid that many of the girls in Yihong Courtyard were robbed by this old bustard in this way.

Su Lingling's soft waist bent back, which was able to dodge those big men, she supported the ground with one foot, pulled out her waist sword, and crossed the line, those big men were startled, and retreated again and again, but they were still not afraid of death and pounced again. Su Lingling sneered in his heart, his feet moved slightly, shuttling between those big men, the white sword flowers bloomed between them, the old bustard saw that the big men had been defeated, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran into the house, how could Su Lingling let her go, kicked away the big man, chased after him, grabbed the old bustard's collar, although her body was small, but her strength was not small, the old bustard couldn't break free at all, the girls on the side were scared and screamed, Su Lingling put the sword on the old bustard's neck again, and said: "Bring the deed of sale of all the girls here!" ”

She rarely cares about this kind of nosy in her life, but today this greedy old bustard has provoked her.

The old bustard hurriedly asked the turtle master to get the deed of sale, no matter what, his own life was important, Su Lingling pushed her into the building, and the men who came to have fun in the lobby saw that the old bustard was held by such a woman like a flower and jade, and looked at each other, Su Lingling scanned the lobby coldly, and those people didn't dare to make a sound for a while, and they didn't dare to move when they sat on their seats.

The turtle master hurriedly ran over with a box, and Su Lingling continued: "Call all the girls here." ”

The turtle master had no choice but to do so, but in this way, those guests were not happy, and a few of them stood up and said with a lewd smile: "Girl, you are not right, the girl is chivalrous, we don't care if you go to other places to be chivalrous, but this Yihong Courtyard is a place for men to have fun, and it is a place where you and I are willing!" ”

Su Lingling's eyes were cold, "Then let me ask, who of you girls here would like to stay here for these men to have fun?" ”

No one spoke, no one stood up, Su Lingling's expression relaxed slightly, and said: "Since you are not willing to stay here, well, today I will demolish this Yihong Courtyard and burn these deeds of sale, you girls can go out and make another living." ”

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the lobby, and a woman wearing a peach-pink skirt stood up, looking at Su Lingling at a glance, and she was charming at a glance, Su Lingling frowned, and the woman smiled: "Girl, we know that you have good intentions, but we are dusty women, how can we make another way to make a living?" Some of them can marry into those families outside the staff to be a concubine, what about the bad ones, they can only be spurned for the rest of their lives, although our reputation in Yihong Courtyard is not much better, but at least we can eat and dress well. ”

"Are you really willing to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"Sister, we are willing to go with you." Behind the red curtain came out a pair of girls, the two of them were exactly the same, one was wearing a red jacket, the other was wearing a pink jacket, and it was the little girl in red who had just spoken, and the little girl in pink was hiding behind the little girl in red, with a pair of big black and white eyes, three points shy and seven points curious looking at Su Lingling.

Su Lingling's hand tightened again, since those older women were unwilling to leave, it would be good to save these two little girls.

"What about their deeds of sale?"

The old bustard's eyes gestured to the turtle master, the turtle master opened the box, turned out two pieces of paper from it, Su Lingling took it with one hand, and said to the two little girls: "You guys, come here." ”

The little girl in red pulled the little girl in pink and walked over, Su Lingling let go of the bustard, took the little girl in red, and walked straight out of Yihong Courtyard, this time the bustard didn't dare to call someone to stop her, and the old bustard, who finally picked up a life, sat on the ground, panting, fortunately, these girls knew each other, and they didn't go with Su Lingling, otherwise they wouldn't be a big loss.

Su Lingling pulled the two little girls, found a restaurant, and ordered a table of dishes for them, the little girl in pink took the rice bowl and ate it, and the little girl in red patted her, "Little peach, the girl hasn't eaten yet!" ”

Xiao Tao put down the dishes and chopsticks and glanced at Su Lingling timidly, but Su Lingling saw a little cunning from this, and in a trance, Su Lingling actually felt that Ah Ci was probably like this when he was a child.

"How old are you? Why did you enter Yee Hong Hospital? Su Lingling asked as gently as possible.

Peony glanced at her sister, pursed her lips, and said, "Xiao Tao and I are nine years old, we were sold into Yihong Courtyard by our uncle, our father and mother died a year ago, we were sent to my uncle's house, but my aunt didn't like us, so my uncle sold us, and my uncle was afraid of my aunt, so I listened to her." ”

Su Lingling sighed softly, touched her hair, and said, "Will you follow me in the future?" ”

Hearing this, Peony nodded like pounding garlic, "Okay!" ”

Saying that, he left his seat, pulled Xiao Tao and was about to kneel, Su Lingling hurriedly helped her.

"Look at you, you don't look like an ordinary poor child, have you ever studied?"

"I read it, my dad used to be Langzhong, I followed my dad to recognize medicinal materials when I was a child, and then my dad taught me to write prescriptions, but I haven't learned much, my dad just-"

Xiao Tao blinked, looked at her tearful sister, and looked at Su Lingling ignorantly, rubbing her two little hands on her chest, flattening her mouth, and seemed to be crying.

Su Lingling couldn't help but wonder, obviously they are twin sisters, why does this little peach look so much worse than peony?

Su Lingling stretched out his hand to wipe his tears from Peony, and said, "Don't be sad, I will treat you well in the future." Xiao Tao, she-" Su Lingling hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Xiao Tao had a serious illness when she was three years old, and after she got better, her mind stayed at the age of three." Peony sighed, seeing that she was so old at such a young age, Su Lingling couldn't help but feel even more pity.

"Eat quickly, and I'll send you back to my house first." Su Lingling made another plan, took the two sisters back to the Hou Mansion in the capital, and went to find Ah Ci by himself, after all, it was still too difficult for him to be alone with two children.

Peony nodded, pulled Xiao Tao to sit at the table, and sandwiched a few dishes for Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao immediately smiled, and ate seriously with the rice bowl.

Peony is still too restrained, eat carefully, Su Lingling held his chin and looked out the window, the little peach gobbled up, Peony stopped from time to time to pour water for her, wiped the soup stained rice grains on her mouth, Xiao Tao giggled while eating, and even deliberately knocked over the rice bowl, and Peony patiently picked up the rice bowl and put it in front of her.

The meal was finally finished, Xiao Tao cried and wanted to sleep, Su Lingling had to book an inn again, let Xiao Tao sleep first, Su Lingling asked Peony to look at Xiao Tao, and went out to rent a carriage by himself.

After passing a small stall selling candy people, Su Lingling bought two more sugar people, bought some more pastries, and walked to the inn.

Downstairs at the inn, I met Song Linzhao.

Su Lingling subconsciously turned around, but Song Linzhao stopped her, "Lingling." ”

Su Lingling didn't respond, Song Linzhao came over a few steps and stood in front of her, "Why did you come to Tai'an?" ”

Su Lingling asked rhetorically: "What did I have to do with you when I came to Tai'an?" ”

"Lingling, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are so cold to me again."

"When have I ever been enthusiastic about you?" Su Lingling didn't bother to entangle him anymore, and walked around him to the inn.

"Lingling, I-"

"Song Linzhao, you and I are still strangers, you should have never met me and forgot about me." Su Lingling explained that he no longer had hope for Sun Xian, and he didn't want others to have meaningless expectations of him.

"Su Lingling, you inevitably went too far, took away my heart, and told me to be a stranger?" Su Lingling had already gone upstairs, Song Linzhao looked up at her, Su Lingling didn't have any emotion in his eyes, but a trembling voice betrayed her: "It's not just me who is excessive." ”

Song Linzhao was stunned in place, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and the fragility of that moment made him want to hug her, but he couldn't move his legs.

Her vulnerability was never because of herself.

Song Linzhao turned around suddenly, Su Lingling had disappeared at the staircase, and when he walked to the door, he found that the sugar man in his hand had melted, and the syrup flowed down his fingers, exuding a trace of sweet fragrance, Su Lingling felt that his throat was uncomfortable, and he tried to press it down, wiped the syrup on his hand with a handkerchief, and then entered the house.

Peony fell asleep on the table, Xiao Tao was getting out of bed, she heard the sound of Su Lingling opening the door, she raised her head, and the eyes in her eyes at that moment made Su Lingling feel that it was not like the eyes that a three-year-old child should have.

But it was only for a moment, so fast that Su Lingling thought it was his illusion, Xiao Tao's eyes returned to his ignorant appearance, and smiled sweetly at Su Lingling: "Sister! ”

This sound woke up Peony as well, and when Peony saw Su Lingling coming back, she hurriedly stood up, "Sister, you're back!" ”

Su Lingling smiled slightly, took out the paper bag, opened it and handed it to the peony, "I bought osmanthus sugar cake, eat it quickly." ”

Peony's eyes lit up, but she still thanked her politely, took it carefully, and then fed it to Xiao Tao.

Su Lingling looked at Xiao Tao thoughtfully, Xiao Tao suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly at Su Lingling, her mouth was still stained with the crumbs of pastry, Su Lingling reached out to help her wipe her mouth, turned her head and asked Peony: "Peony, why did you stand up at that time and be willing to follow me?" ”
