Chapter 18: "Selling Yourself"
Provocation, definitely provocation, although the man's face was obscured by the silver mask, Ling Xiaoxiao could still deeply feel the provocation revealed in the other party's words. But she had to admit that what the other party said was the truth, she was too reckless, and if she was arrested by the government like this, she would definitely die. But......
"How do you know these things?" Some warily took a few steps back.
The man didn't speak, and the person who answered her was the person who had just been called Moying, "There is nothing we in the world that we Fengxian Pavilion don't know. β
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly brightened, "You know everything?" β
"Of course." There was no hint of ostentation in his tone.
"Do you know what happened not long ago?" Ling Xiaoxiao continued to ask, her tone urgent.
"You little girl, are you questioning our Fengxian Pavilion?" Mo Ying was a little unhappy, "If we don't even know about the things in the Phoenix Immortal Pavilion, I guess no one in the whole world will know about it." β
Although she didn't know what Fengxian Pavilion really did, she was willing to let her know the murderer who killed A-Niang, no matter what she was asked to do.
"Then I want to knowβ" Just as she was about to say her plea, the man sitting on the stone bench waved his hand, and the Ink Shadow immediately stepped aside and said no more.
The man stood up, walked in front of her, and said lightly: "The rule of Fengxian Pavilion is to exchange one thing for another, and you can't break this rule." β
Item-for-item? Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly touched his waist, thinking that he had just handed over the money bag to the person in front of him, and now there was nothing of value on his body, and when he was hesitating, his eyes glanced at the paper on the stone table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I've signed it now." She doesn't have anything else, but when it comes to work or something, her strength is great. "Give me red clay." Stretch out your hand and ask the other person for a message.
"Are you sure you've figured it out?" The man asked again.
Nodding, there is nothing more certain than this, even if she is allowed to be a maid in this Fengxian Pavilion for a lifetime, as long as she can find out the murderer of A-Niang and the whole village, she is willing.
"In that case, it doesn't have to be that much trouble, Ink Shadow." As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw Mo Ying step forward, his hand raised and fell, Ling Xiaoxiao didn't see the movement of his hand clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his thumb, raised his hand to see, red blood was flowing from the wound on his fingertip, Mo Ying immediately grabbed her thumb and pressed it on the signature of the paper, just like that, a handprint was pressed.
Ling Xiaoxiao was about to take a look at the content again, but Mo Ying had already folded it and put it in her arms, and the movements were done in one go, making her always feel as if she had been deceived, and felt like she had missed something......
"My handprint has been pressed too, so I can ask now." Put your thumb in your mouth and make sure the wound is no longer bleeding before asking.
The man chuckled, then opened his hand and asked, "What about the things you replaced?" β
Eyes widened, "Didn't I sign it yet?" On his side. Then he pointed to the ink shadow.
"That's your medicinal fee! Have you forgotten that you just forgot to pay for the herbs you just forgot to give. The man kindly reminded her.
"You, you liarβ" The words popped out of his mouth, Ling Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed with anger, and he pointed at the two of them with a shake.
Mo Ying spread his hands and replied, "That was signed by you voluntarily, and our Fengxian Pavilion has never forced people." After saying that, he blinked innocently.
Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like crying without tears, how could she encounter such a thing? Unconsciously signed the deed of sale, put himself in without saying anything, and didn't ask what he wanted to know, then he wanted to die......
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Man looked at the three people in the courtyard, and each of them had different expressions on their faces.
"Xiaoman, woo-" Seeing Xiaoman appear, Ling Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged her, and her aggrieved voice twitched.
patted the shoulder of the person in his arms to show comfort, looked at the ink shadow behind the pavilion master, only to see the ink shadow pointing behind the pavilion master's back, then opened his mouth and made a few lip shapes, Xiao Man immediately glared at him fiercely, and then took Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, took her slowly to the room, and said as he walked: "Let's go, let's go to the house and say." β
"Hmm." Replied with a little crying.
In the courtyard, Mo Ying finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Pavilion Master, why do you want to help her?" In his impression, the pavilion master is still like he has never been so kind-hearted, even saving people before was enough to surprise him, in the past, when he met people who fainted on the side of the road, he basically ignored them, and the most common sentence of the pavilion master is that people have their own destiny, but he himself took the initiative to break his own principles. Not to mention wasting a lot of rare medicinal materials on this girl, even trying to get the girl to sign the deed of sale just now, making him look like a trafficker who abducted and sold girls, what happened in the past few days can surprise him for a few days and nights.
The man didn't speak, just looked at the closed door not far away.
After a long time, he spoke: "Because she is the first person who dares to say that she will marry me, how can I miss it." The corners of his mouth curled up in a good-looking arc, how could he let go of such an interesting person.
After a while, there was a black shadow in the courtyard with a big mouth and a surprised face, oh my God, he must talk to Mo Bai about these things for a few days and nights......
In the house, Ling Xiaoxiao was still angry, took the teacup that Xiaoman poured good water, drank it all, and calmed down his current mood.
"Xiaoman, how can you say that your pavilion master can do this? If you don't help me, forget it, and trick me into signing the deed of sale, now it's okay, I really have nothing. β
Xiao Man smiled and didn't answer immediately, Ling Xiaoxiao looked even more anxious, "Are you laughing at me?" β
"Xiaoxiao, I think the pavilion master is helping you." Xiaoman replied.
"Help me? This still helps me, you are too partial, you can't just talk to him just because you are the pavilion master. "Sure enough, there is a nest of snakes and rats, I can't believe it.
Clapping Ling Xiaoxiao's hand, Xiao Man continued: "But even if you go out now, what can you do?" If you stay in the Fengxian Pavilion, no one can touch you, and you still have the opportunity to ask the pavilion master what you want to know. β
"You seem to have some point." After thinking about it, this method does work, on the one hand, you don't have to hide from the government everywhere, and on the other hand, you can have the opportunity to find out the truth of the facts.
Seeing that Ling Xiaoxiao was a little moved, Xiaoman continued to add fuel to the fire, and whispered close to Ling Xiaoxiao's ear: "And you don't know, our pavilion master is very easy to coax, as long as this is the case... ...... like that."
