Chapter 234: An Island of Bandits
The man who had just been ferocious and fierce, saw the two maids and became very well-behaved. He smiled and greeted them, "Madame Ju, Madame Lan, you two are on duty today."
"Yes, everyone is here?" Aunt Ju nodded, her eyes fell on the children, and then she said, "I am Aunt Ju, the children follow me. The girls follow her, she is Aunt Lan."
The two maids seemed much kinder. Not only were the children less frightened, but the girls were also much better. One of the braver girls even asked, "Mammy, where are you taking us?"
"Just follow me and you'll know." Nanny Lan glanced at the person who spoke and frowned slightly.
The girl was pretty, but she had an air of arrogance. It looked like she was a favorite at home. But since she was here, she must be a fool.
In Nanny Lan's eyes, the silly girl was none other than Du Ruomei.
Because she spoke, Yue Fuli couldn't help but glance at her. In Yue Fuli's impression, Du Ruomei was a little different from other concubines because she was favored at home. She especially liked to play with the legitimate daughters, but no one paid any attention to her.
But even so, she still wanted to play with the legitimate daughters. Yue Fuli even heard Du Ruolan say that Du Ruomei's mother had been instigating Du's father to record her as a legitimate daughter.
However, it never succeeded because Du Ruolan refused to let him. The reason why Du's father was afraid of Du Ruolan, the legitimate daughter, was because she was close to Yue Fuli.
After being scolded by the nanny, Du Ruomei didn't dare to speak any more. No one else said anything, but followed the other into the yard in silence.
Ayu and the other children followed Aunt Ju into the yard and were taken to a hall.
In the hall, someone was training other children, those who had been brought to the island earlier, also around seven or eight years old.
The children who were training saw another person coming, but they didn't react much.
Having stayed here for so long, they'd already known their fate. Consequently, they were all lifeless, devoid of any childlike liveliness or cleverness. Even sympathy was gone, and they were completely cold and indifferent.
A Yu and the children, who originally had some ideas in their minds, couldn't help but feel scared when they saw them like this.
Aunt Ju sensed the children's fear, but she didn't offer any comfort. She simply glanced at them calmly and said, "Today, since you've just arrived, I'll take you downstairs to rest. Training will begin tomorrow. Whoever practices best and learns quickly will leave first."
As soon as these words came out, the children who were training suddenly shuddered. This scene was seen by Yue Fuli.
"Come on, I'll take you to rest."
A Yu followed behind Aunt Ju, looking around quietly and assessing the possibility of her escape.
Climbing the wall is not an option because it is too high, and going through the main gate is definitely not an option because there are people guarding it.
It seems that the matter of escaping still needs to be considered carefully.
Seeing that her sister would be fine for the time being, Yue Fuli stopped guarding her and went to other places on the island to take a look.
She now urgently wanted to know what the people on the island were going to do by capturing these children.
Kidnappers in other places kidnap children and girls in order to sell them for a high price.
But it seems a little different here.
Soon, Yue Fuli toured the entire island, only to discover that the people living on the island were actually a group of bandits.
