The woman on the big bed was extremely thin, and her thin cheeks showed a look of death.
This made her heart skip a beat and she hurried forward to check.
"How is it?" Xiao Shengxing asked.
"How is my mother?" The little beggar also raised his head and asked with his big eyes.
Looking at the woman, Su Lijin withdrew her probing fingers and glanced at the little beggar with some pity.
Xiao Shengxing saw her expression and immediately understood.
The little beggar held her hand and begged, "Sister, please save my mother. You know acupuncture. Use your magic needle to save her..."
Su Lijin sighed, squatted down and looked at her: "Your mother... has passed away."
The woman on the bed was silent and had obviously died long ago.
Her investigation just now only confirmed this result.
Hearing this, the little beggar's eyes filled with tears, but he shook his head desperately: "Impossible, my mother is not dead, please save her, she will wake up!"
The crying sounds in the room were heartbreaking, but Su Lijin could do nothing.
She couldn't bring the dead back to life.
Su Lijin clenched her fingers tightly, and a sad expression unconsciously appeared on her face. This world is always full of suffering.
The suffering of others, as well as the suffering she experienced in her previous life, are all suffering.
People always have to endure all this and continue to live.
Even if the little beggar didn't want to face this fact, he couldn't change anything.
After quietly waiting for the little beggar to finish crying, Su Lijin held her little hand and said, "Now you are the only one left. I will help you find a job so that you can earn money to survive. What do you think?"
The little beggar sobbed and said, "I don't know anything..."
This is indeed true. She knows nothing and there is almost no place that will take her in.
After exchanging a glance with Young Master Gu Yun, Su Lijin saw sympathy and the same opinion in his eyes.
She thought about it and began to consider the little beggar sincerely.
Now that the little beggar has lost her biological mother and is alone and helpless, she has to find a stable and reliable place for her.
But where should it be arranged?
She doesn't know anyone here...
Thinking of this, Su Lijin's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized that she also had acquaintances!
Yaoyue Palace is now open all over the country. Although it cannot be said that it can be found in every place, but according to her observation, there really is a Yaoyue Palace in this place.
It wouldn't be difficult for her to arrange for the little beggar to stay there.
Thinking of this, she immediately suggested: "I know a place, come with me to take a look."
"What place are you talking about?" Xiao Shengxing asked, with a thoughtful look in his black eyes.
The little beggar also looked at her blankly.
Su Lijin smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when you get there."
Soon, she brought the two of them to the gate of Yaoyue Palace and pointed at the main door, saying, "This is it."
"Yao Yuegong, let's go in and take a look."
Striding in, Su Lijin began to tour the place with satisfaction.
I have to say that this Yaoyue Palace looks quite grand, and its various decorations are much more colorful than those of ordinary places.
Visiting here, she, the palace master behind the scenes, still felt deeply proud.
Xiao Shengxing looked around the place with his dark eyes, his expression calm as usual, but the little beggar beside him was a little timid and hid behind him.
Immediately afterwards, a manager came towards them with a puzzled look.
"I'm a friend of your Palace Master, and I'm here to visit."
Su Lijin naturally took out the token and claimed to be a friend of the Palace Master.
The steward was slightly surprised when he saw the token.
After confirming that everything was correct, the steward immediately said with a smile, "Since he is the Palace Master's friend, we must entertain him well."
As he said this, he ordered a group of people to take them to the private room and treat them to good wine and food.
The little beggar had never eaten such a sumptuous meal before. He grabbed the big chicken leg and gobbled it up, forgetting his fear at all.
Su Lijin smiled and told her to slow down. Then, looking at the group of people around her, she asked, "Where are you all from? How did you get in here?"
Xiao Shengxing was drinking tea at the side, looking happy.
When everyone was asked about their origins, they all rushed to answer.
Most of them came from poor families and voluntarily sold themselves to the Yaoyue Palace.
There are also some people with great martial arts skills who are hired by the Moon Palace with high salaries.
Listening to their answers, Su Lijin nodded without comment. She glanced at the little beggar, whose mouth was full of grease, and smiled as she recommended, "What do you think of her? How about letting her stay here and do some work?"
Everyone looked at the little beggar, then turned their gaze to the person in charge.
The steward also glanced at the little beggar and said with a smile: "You are the Palace Master's friend, and since you recommended her, there will definitely be no problem. Let her stay."
Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengxing happily and saw satisfaction on his face.
Pulling the little beggar along, she instructed him, "From now on, you should learn from them and live a good life here."
The little beggar was confused and had a pair of dazed and wary eyes. He nodded and said, "I understand."
After the matter was resolved, Su Lijin prepared to rest for a night before leaving.
The steward immediately received them and arranged them in the best room.
After dinner, it was already late at night, and Su Lijin planned to go to bed early.
I just woke up in the middle of the night when I heard some noise.
"Keep your voices down. She'll be sold to a brothel soon. I'll share the money with you then."
"Hurry up and divide it up. I think the goods these days are pretty good. They are all very beautiful and can be sold for a lot of money!"
Listening to the noise, Su Lijin frowned: "These people are actually trafficking people and dividing the spoils?"
Listening to the noise below, Su Lijin was extremely angry that these people were openly trafficking people in Yaoyue Palace.
She never imagined that such unscrupulous activities would appear in the organization she founded.
She was so angry that she couldn't bear to listen any longer. She opened the window and was about to rush down to confront them.
However, before she could move out, she was stopped by a hand.
"Don't be impulsive."
"Is it you?"
Su Lijin turned around and saw Tan Tai Chun who was also frowning.
Tan Tai Chun actually appears here?
She was surprised, but thinking about the human trafficking, she became even more furious. She couldn't help but ask, "What on earth is going on with human trafficking? And why are you here?"
She was full of doubts, but she didn't think that Tan Tai Chun would instruct his subordinates to do such illegal activities.
Tan Tai Chun glanced at the people below, his eyes showing a certain seriousness as he said, "I came here to investigate human trafficking."
"How do you know there's human trafficking going on here?"
Su Lijin was really surprised by this. She had just discovered it, so how did Tan Tai Chun know about it?
They can come here to investigate so accurately.
