Chapter 169: Selfish

"I can't guarantee that I'm an absolutely good person, because in the face of disaster, I would also want to selfishly survive, but I can guarantee that I'm definitely not a bad person, and I won't do anything bad."

Mimi said with a firm look and tone.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and Su Wan pulled Su Chen aside and whispered.

"Brother, do you think what she said is credible?"

"I'm not sure..." Su Chen said embarrassedly.

"Her home is so far away, and she has so many injuries on her body. Can she make it back home by herself? What if she gets scammed along the way?

Besides, if she was a spy, how could she have gotten so far? We are not an important official family, so she can’t do anything to us.”

Su Wan had a hunch that this young lady was not a bad person.

"You mean, take her in for a few days?" This is how Su Chen understood it.

"What I mean is, we should take her to the clinic first and change her into clean clothes. I remember there are caravans and escort agencies in Xiangzhou that go to the border for business. We can ask them to take her to the border. Once we get there, it will be easy for her to get home on her own, right?"

Su Wan didn't want to keep her at home, but this was the best thing she could do.

This girl is from the Wuya tribe. If she becomes an important person, having more friends will open up more paths for her in the future.

Just like she said just now, the girl's clothes are made of fine material and her skin is very delicate. She must not be a child from an ordinary family. Outside the border, there are either grasslands or deserts, and the environment is harsh. Yet she can still live so beautifully. She must not be from an ordinary family.

Su Chen nodded. Since he had become a good person, he should be a good person to the end and consider it as accumulating virtue.

"Okay, then. Let's do as you say. Use this silver."

Su Chen weighed the purse in his hand. It was just twenty taels he had just earned. He didn't spend much effort anyway.

So the brother and sister turned back, and Su Wan said to her:

"Come on girl, I'll take you to find a place to stay."

Mimi hesitated for a moment, but still followed. She only dared to trust this brother and sister now.

Mimi and Su Wan are about the same height, so Su Wan bought her some clean clothes and a pair of shoes.

Then he took her to a very ordinary inn and booked a room for a few days, which cost a little over one or two taels of silver per night. There was a clinic across the street.

Let Mimi take a bath and change into clean clothes first, then take her to the clinic.

The brother and sister were waiting downstairs. When Mimi went upstairs, she asked Su Wan if she could wear the gauze scarf and hat.

Since Su Wan had already left the black market, it didn't matter to her whether she wore it or not, so she just gave it to her.

After waiting for half an hour, Mimi finally came down from washing. She was wearing Su Wan's bamboo hat and limping. The food had already been ordered on the table.

It just so happened that the brother and sister had been busy all day and hadn't eaten yet, so they were hungry.

"Come on, sit down and eat first!"

Su Wan pushed a bowl of rice towards her, and Mimi's face was hidden under the veil and could not be seen clearly.

She hadn't had a full meal in a long time. Looking at the delicious food on the table, she swallowed her saliva, and the aroma kept coming into her nose.

Mimi stopped being pretentious and after sitting down, she pinned the scarf in front of her to both sides, revealing her face.

Before, she looked miserable and her face was so dirty that it was hard to tell what she looked like. Now that she was clean, Su Wan was stunned when he looked at her again.

I unconsciously exclaimed:

"Wow, you're so beautiful."

Mimi's beauty is that kind of exotic beauty, just like the modern Xinjiang beauties, with red lips and white teeth, and her eyes are full of natural charm when she raises her eyes.

She is so beautiful, no wonder she was deceived and sold in Jin State.

In order to get a good price, those people did not insult her, nor did they dare to hit her face. Her face was so beautiful and representative that she was obviously an outsider, so she and Su Wan had to wear a hat and a scarf.

Mimi felt embarrassed by Su Wan's praise and said with a red face:

"You...you are beautiful too."

She was honest. This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful Jin Guo girl since she met Jin Guo Shao.

It is said that the women of Jin State are graceful, dependent like little birds, and as gentle as water.

It is true that she is as cute as a little bird. People say that the Feng Shui of Jin State is good for health. Look at her skin, it is so good and so hydrated, it is true.

When Su Chen saw her face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly looked away.

He was stunned for a moment, and tried to cover it up by drinking water, because it was the first time he saw a foreign woman, and such appearance was really eye-catching.

A beauty completely different from that of the women of Jin State.

"You must be hungry. Come and eat."

Su Wan likes to hang out with beautiful sisters. His mood will become better when he sees beautiful sisters.

She picked up some food for her, and Mimi took the bowl and started eating quickly. But considering that Su Wan and Su Chen were there, she didn't stuff herself too roughly, but her movements were rather hurried, which showed that she was very hungry.

After the meal, the three of them got to know each other. Mimi was indeed older than Su Wan. She was already fourteen years old and would soon be fifteen.

Su Wan will only turn fourteen next month.

After eating, Su Wan and Su Chen took her to the clinic across the street to see her doctor.

She only had some minor injuries. Apart from a sprained ankle, it was nothing serious and she would be fine after applying some medicine.

The old Chinese doctor helped her to straighten her ankle. There was a sound of bones cracking. Su Wan felt pain just listening to the sound, but Mimi gritted her teeth and said nothing.

The bone was broken back in place, but my ankle is still a little swollen.

After leaving the clinic, Su Wan and Su Chen sent her back to the inn.

Su Wan paid ten taels of silver to the inn at one time and told her to order food from the inn when she was hungry.

"Mimi, just stay in the inn and relax. My third brother will ask around about any caravans or escort teams that are heading to the border. Then you can follow them to the border. That way, you won't have to worry about encountering any danger along the way."

She is a weak woman, and she is so beautiful. If she goes back alone on such a long journey, she might get into trouble again.

She didn't want to see a young girl in her prime fall into despair.

Mimi nodded, took two steps back, and knelt down in front of the two of them, preparing to kowtow.

Su Wan saw her intention and quickly stopped her:

"No, no, get up!"

"Thank you. I will never forget your kindness. If there is any way I can repay you in the future, I will do it even if it means dying." Mimi said every word sincerely.

In fact, Su Wan had selfish motives in saving her and helping her.

In the original novel, the third brother went to the battlefield, and the two armies fought fiercely. In the later period, in order to protect the commander's retreat, the third brother was accidentally captured by the Wuya tribe.

At that time, the third brother's reputation was already well-known on the battlefield. The leader of the Wuya tribe wanted to recruit him and make him his general, so he was quite polite to him at first.

But the third brother was stubborn and refused to betray his country, so he was tortured severely.
