"I don't know how to address this young lady. I'm sorry for the rudeness." Manager Wu said in a low voice.

Bai Yinglin's eyes moved slightly, and her gaze focused on Manager Wu, then she smiled lightly.

"white."

Steward Wu understood and said, "Thank you, Miss Bai. Princess Naya and Miss Bai, please take your seats."

Led by Manager Wu, the group entered the slave yard. Only Xiao Zha was left at the end, like a walking corpse. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look up. He knew he couldn't escape. Although Princess Ya bypassed the people in the slave yard, she didn't say she would spare him.

This incident left a lingering fear in Xiaozha's heart. He felt a piercing fear and pain. He knew his fate but could not escape. There was a rule in the palace that if a servant or a palace maid escaped from the palace, their parents would naturally be implicated.

If this is true, I will become the sinner of my own family. Such a thing must not happen. After all, the prosperity of the family depends on myself, and its rise and fall also depends on myself.

So no matter what the consequences are, I can't leave.

…

"Manager Wu, I'm here for an important matter. I'd like to ask if there are any palace maids or maids who used to work for Concubine Jia?" Zhao Ya sat on her soft seat, casually playing with the small jade bottle on the table with one hand.

Although this place is deserted and is a prison for criminals, the few furnishings here are all priceless, which is really rare.

Zhao Ya was secretly calculating in her heart. While asking questions, she kept her eyes on the entire room. She looked around with her sharp eyes.

Although this place is old, it is clean and spacious. Through the door of the hall, you can see the palace maids in gray clothes diligently doing their work in the middle of the courtyard.

When Manager Wu heard what Zhao Ya said, her eyes flickered. She looked around and saw many people and ears.

So she made a gesture for everyone to leave.

When only Manager Wu, Zhao Ya and Bai Yinglin were left in the hall, Manager Wu quickly closed the door.

Such an action naturally made the palace maids in the slave house feel strange, but if a person of noble status could come to such a place, there must be something important that needs to be discovered.

Although the palace maids in the slave courtyard were very sensible, they still lowered their heads and focused on their own work.

The Xiao Zha from before became unusually smart now. Seeing that everyone had left, he retreated to the three steps outside the hall. After making sure that he could not hear any sound from inside the house, he knelt down alone. His expression was somewhat moved. He looked around, still with that kind of self-esteem in his heart. He lowered his head and did not dare to look around at the people around him. If he saw other people's weird looks, it would be a huge blow to his heart.

However, Zhao Ya, who was in the house, was completely unaware of all this.

"Princess Ya, unfortunately, the criminal slaves who came from Jiayao Palace had their mouths sealed, and now they have no way to speak at all." Manager Wu said with a complicated expression, his heart still full of lingering fear.

Thinking of the appearance of those criminal slaves when they came here, she felt very uncomfortable. She had been working in this slave house for more than ten years, but she had never seen anyone cut off the tongue of a criminal slave before sending him to the slave house.

The criminal slaves in the slave house are pitiful in themselves. Too many of them were sent here unjustly by their masters, which makes them feel sad just thinking about it.
