Zhiyuan's eyes were full of eagerness, she had already regarded You Zhiqi as salvation.

After thinking about it again, You Zhiqi swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, turned around and took out another ingot of gold from his waist, "This is the only money I have left, and the little money saved is enough for you to survive for a long time." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhiyuan's first reaction was to refuse.

You Zhiqi said lightly: "Take the money and leave here quickly, so that they don't come to you again." ”

Without thinking about it, Zhiyuan quickly stuffed the gold back into You Zhiqi's hand, and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Engong's money, Zhiyuan doesn't want it." ”

"What do you want?"

"Zhiyuan doesn't want anything, just wants to follow Engong to take care of you."

You Zhiqi shook his head, "There is no shortage of people around me to take care of, you-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhiyuan knelt down, "Even if it's just a laundry and cooking maid, Zhiyuan is willing!" I just want to have something to rely on for the rest of my life. ”

You Zhiqi decisively rejected her request, "The situation in my family is very complicated, and I can't rely on you at all, we are just meeting in Pingshui, and we shouldn't be too involved." ”

But he really underestimated Zhiyuan's determination to follow him.

Adhering to the principle of being a good person to the end, You Zhiqi gently helped her up and said, "Miss Zhiyuan, can I find an errand for you?" This way you can be self-reliant. ”

But she didn't know anything but singing, and she didn't even know the most basic female embroidery.

It's not impossible for a woman to show up, provided you can protect yourself.

But today's situation is obvious, she doesn't even have the ability to resist, let alone protect herself. If it hadn't been for someone's death, she would have been snatched away by that son.

This time, it was You Zhiqi's turn to make a difficulty.

He is pitiful Zhiyuan, whose fate is also bumpy, but she has no long things, and she can't do anything even if she wants to help.

But if she is left alone, I'm afraid she can survive or not.

After thinking about it for a moment, he was ready to confide in her the plan he had buried in his heart, and it would be a bargain that would be beneficial to both parties.

You Zhiqi pinched her chin unexpectedly and asked, "Do you know where you are most valuable?" ”

Zhiyuan nodded a little shyly, she had been in the market for many years and understood this hint very well.

So, she pushed the boat down the river and fell into You Zhiqi's arms, and her fingers touched his collar very sensitively, "Zhiyuan is willing to serve Engong and not seek fame." ”

You Zhiqi quickly pushed her away, "What if...... Isn't that person me? ”

"Who is it?" Zhiyuan was stunned on the spot.

Now, You Zhiqi has also had a showdown with her.

"Now, I'll give you two paths to follow. One, get out of here with the money I gave you. Second, with your most valuable things, help me exchange for what I want, and I can arrange a good place for you to go without worrying about food and clothing. ”

The moment he said that, he already regretted it.

Zhiyuan let out a sneer, "Is Engong going to sell me into the Qinglou for money?" ”

Seeing that You Zhiqi was silent for a long time, Zhiyuan said again, "Engong doesn't know, my grandfather and I are disaster victims who fled from the south. In the midst of extreme hunger, he also tried to sell me into the Qinglou more than once. ”

"And then?" You Zhiqi lowered his head and asked.

Zhiyuan continued: "Grandpa loves me very much, if there is no way, how can he be willing? He said that if you enter the Qinglou, you can at least survive, but I would rather die than obey, and I have repeatedly forced my life to force each other, and the matter will be over. ”

You Zhiqi is also ashamed, how can he take advantage of a woman's innocence so selfishly?

"The girl's meaning, I understand it below, but it is abrupt."

Just as You Zhiqi was about to leave the room, Zhiyuan called him again, smiled and said, "I also want to make a deal with Engong." ”

You Zhiqi slowly retracted his steps from stepping out of the threshold, "You speak." ”

"What if...... What if I only want a name? ”

You Zhiqi: "......"

Zhiyuan hugged him very boldly, "Before you send me into the Qinglou, I want to worship you first." ”

It's ridiculous!

You Zhiqi pushed her away without saying a word, and soon came to her senses again, she misunderstood what she meant, "The best place I said is not Qinglou, but my father's house." ”

Zhiyuan was even more confused, and it took a while to react, "You, you...... Do you want me to be your stepmother? You're going to use me to please your father? ”

This kind of ending is already several times better than falling into the Qinglou.

But she was wrong.

You Zhiqi shook his head lightly and said lightly: "My father, how can you be a singing girl?" Even to be a footwasher, you are not qualified. ”

Zhiyuan's heart sank, and tears were held back in his eyes, "Since Engong looks down on Zhiyuan, why do you want to say this?" ”

The expression on You Zhiqi's face froze, and he said for a long time: "It's not that I look down on you, it's that my father looks down on my son, and my existence is a great shame for him."

I do want to borrow you to please someone, but not my father. When this is done, I can secretly put you in my father's house and be a little maid cleaning the courtyard. ”

Although she was mentally prepared, Zhiyuan's tears still rolled and slipped uncontrollably, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

She knew she had no choice.

In order to survive, you can only obey You Zhiqi's arrangement.

Zhiyuan tentatively wanted to hold You Zhiqi's hand, and said softly, "I am willing to sacrifice myself for Engong, I just ask you to take me with me." ”

You Zhiqi waved his hand, "Forget it, after all, you are innocent......"

Zhiyuan hurriedly changed his words, "It's okay to meet you often." ”

You Zhiqi, who was in torment, finally agreed, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will find a way to buy you a house." And I, as long as I have time, will go to see you. ”

agreed to help You Zhiqi, Zhiyuan also experienced a lot of mental struggles.

She is too weak to survive in this world without a backing. Today she watched her grandfather die in front of her and could not do anything, and the one who died tomorrow may be herself.

Now Zhiyuan, I just want to live, what dignity and innocence...... It doesn't really matter.

Seeing that You Zhiqi was a righteous gentleman, she wanted to arouse his guilt with this incident, and then left herself by his side.

At this time, You Zhiqi was both happy and worried in his heart, and every time he faced Shangzhiyuan's innocent face, he would feel inexplicable pain in his heart.

"There is no turning back from the bow, have you really thought about it?"

How he wished he could hear the words of rejection from her!

But she still gritted her teeth and agreed, "Zhiyuan has already thought very clearly, but please Engong can speak to the point, don't let down the little girl's sincerity to you." ”
