Chapter 126

Xu Qiuyue looked at Liu Xiu'er's numb eyes and her heart moved. She knew Liu Xiu'er's medical skills better than anyone else.

Such an arrogant person should not be humiliated like this.

When Xu Qiuyue met Liu Xiuer in her previous life, Liu Xiuer had already been sold countless times.

Her face was also left with countless scars, and her appearance was completely ruined.

Liu Xiuer became a famous ghost doctor.

Since you have encountered it, help it once.

Xu Qiuyue came here this time to buy Chunmei, her personal maid in her previous life.

Xu Qiuyue said to the man-trapper: "One hundred taels of gold."

There were gasps from all around. They had not expected that this beautiful girl would be willing to spend so much gold to buy a criminal slave.

The smile on Ren Yazi's face became even brighter. He knew that Liu Xiuer could be sold for a good price, but who knew that this little girl would actually ask for one hundred taels of gold right away.

This amount of gold was quite a lot, but he was greedy and wanted more.

"Miss, you are so courageous. I admire you. However, the ten taels of gold for this girl is the starting price. Do you have any higher price than one hundred taels of gold? The daughter of the imperial physician..."

The human trafficker turned his gaze to the wealthy businessmen in the audience.

These people could no longer suppress their inner restlessness and raised their hands to bid.

"One hundred and fifty taels of gold..."

"Two hundred taels of gold..."

"Two hundred taels and ten golds..."

……

Xu Qiuyue frowned as she heard the bidding.

This price is a bit expensive.

But she waited until the price stopped at two hundred and fifty taels of gold.

She spoke anyway.

"Three hundred taels of gold."

Xu Qiuyue has already decided that if the price rises again, she will give up Liu Xiuer.

If you buy Liu Xiuer, you must also buy the other members of the Liu family.

Otherwise, Liu Xiuer might not really help her.

There will still be so many people wanting to buy it by then.

This is a considerable expense.

Most of the male members of the Liu family went to the border to do hard labor. Only Liu Xiu'er and a younger brother stayed in the capital because they were too young.

The price of that child is not low either. The trend of brothels is prevalent in Beijing. If it is sold in a small restaurant, it will definitely be very popular.

If you want to buy, then buy them all.

"Three hundred taels of gold, is there anyone left? Three hundred taels for the first time..."

Ren Yazi was very excited.

Such good stuff is rare, and he wants to sell it at a higher price.

He was still unwilling to sell it for only three hundred taels of gold.

His eyes moved back and forth among the men, hoping that someone would offer a higher price.

Because he felt that Xu Qiuyue could offer a higher price.

Xu Qiuyue looks about the same age as Liu Xiuer.

Maybe the two of them have a deep friendship.

He always felt that he could squeeze more money out of Xu Qiuyue.

It doesn't matter if you fail.

That means it was sold for only three hundred taels of gold.

"Three hundred and one ounces of gold."

The person who was speaking was a young man. Judging from the fancy clothes he was wearing, he must be from a wealthy family.

Xu Qiuyue decisively chose to withdraw.

She decided to buy her former maid, Chunmei.

It was around this time that Chunmei appeared on Huaishu Street.

Chunmei was a maidservant. Because she was so beautiful, she was sold by her master and given the name Sigou.

Because her master said that she was a lowly person, so she was born in a lowly family in this life, and she had such a good appearance, and was born to be played with by others, so she was given such a name.

Chunmei was not originally a maid. Although her family was not wealthy, her parents ran a small stall, and the family could make a living, at least they could.

But she is so beautiful.

She was spotted by her master's steward and forced to sign a contract to sell herself.

Otherwise, her family would suffer.

My parents’ stall was smashed, and the government office also forbade them to set up a stall.

My younger brother was beaten on the way to school.

My sister's marriage was also ruined.

For the sake of her family, Chunmei chose to sell herself into slavery.

However, even though the so-called master achieved his goal and got tired of playing with her, he did not set Chunmei free. Instead, he continued to sell her out.

Because Chunmei's virginity was deflowered and she was just a maid, her price was not high.

Xu Qiuyue only paid ten taels of gold and bought it.

It was also at this time that Xu Qiuyue found out that Chunmei’s previous employer was the Prince’s Mansion.

Chunmei never talked about this matter, and Xu Qiuyue never asked about it.

Chunmei's master, who is worse than pigs and dogs, is Xuanyi.

Chunmei looked at Xu Qiuyue timidly.

"The previous name was not good. The poem was finished at dusk and the sky was snowing, which made the plum blossoms together make spring. How about you be called Chunmei from now on!"

Xu Qiuyue spoke softly to Chunmei.

Tears rolled down Chunmei's eyes, and she couldn't help saying to Xu Qiuyue: "When I was at home before, my father and mother called me Chunmei, saying that I was born in spring. In the spring of that year, my father smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms when he went out..."

Chunmei's speech was somewhat incoherent.

She was very excited.

She didn't expect that she could still call out her own name.

The name was too ugly, and she didn't want to accept it. She was beaten by the manager and locked in the room with no food or water. When she was hungry, she could only stay in that small room. She once felt like she was about to turn into a stinky fly, flying in the cesspool.

The sisters who lived with her came to persuade her.

No one wants to be called such a name.

But they are slaves.

No matter what name the master gives you, you have to accept it.

Being alive is better than being dead.

If you don't want to.

By then, I will really be locked up and die in that little house.

Chunmei doesn't want to die.

I don't want to die in a place like this.

Chunmei accepted her fate.

Chunmei did nothing wrong afterwards and never dared to resist her master again.

But the master married a wife.

The other party just said one sentence, saying that she stinks and looks unappetizing, and sold her out with just one sentence.

Then it was sold again later.

She was also betrayed by her mistress, who said she was dishonest. Her name had never been changed because it was given to her by the emperor's grandchildren, and her previous master did not dare to change it.

Once upon a time, her parents clearly said that her most precious star was as bright as the stars in the sky.

But when she left home, everyone said she was a lowly person.

"From your accent, you seem to be from the capital. Our mansion is closed on the first and fifteenth of every month. If you still have family here, you can go back to see them. Then you can talk to the driver in the mansion and ask him to take you home."

Xu Qiuyue did not directly say to let Chunmei go home.

What she was thinking about was that in the future, when Chunmei had been with her for a long time, she would ask Chunmei if she wanted to go home.

"Thank you ma'am."

Chunmei was extremely grateful. She had never expected that she would meet such a good master. She had thought that she would never see her parents again in this life.
