"Apart from Mo Shu, Shang Xue, Ru Yu, and Si Jin, are the other servants reliable?"
Si Mingming: "I bought them back and checked their backgrounds. They worked for their previous employer reliably and were not talkative. I signed a three-year contract with them. After three years, they can be free again. They know what to say and what not to say."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment, "They need to know that the Su Mansion is at the end of Pingnan Street."
"Madam Su, I've given them a unified story. No one dares to say anything else. Their lives and property are still in our hands, but..."
Si Mingming glanced at the couple and said, "The mansion is still short of a young master and a young lady."
Xiao Lingyu tapped the table. The four children couldn't risk it by following along. "The children are still too young. The person in the painting is ruthless. If he discovers anything, it will be bad for the children. Since you mentioned the children, do you have a plan?"
Si Mingming smiled and said, "There are two little beggars and a young master and a young lady who are about the same age. We can let them pretend to be the children of Master Su and Madam Su."
"Okay, bring it up and let me see it."
After Si Mingming left, Su Xingyi said, "Xiaoyu, those two kids are so sensible and cute. Do you want to take them home to raise?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't change his habit of picking up children and raising them. Fortunately, he had discussed it with her.
"In my eyes, the four Anger brothers and sisters are the cutest and most sensible children. No other child can compare to them. You'd better give up the idea of bringing children home to raise. Don't mention it in the future. Si Mingming will make arrangements for those two children."
Su Xingyi quickly explained, "I really have quit. I was just asking casually. Don't take it to heart."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry. When the children grow up and have their own families, I will always be with you and protect you. You won't be alone."
Su Xingyi leaned over and placed a kiss on Xiao Lingyu's forehead. "I will always be with you and protect you."
Xiao Lingyu smiled, "Yeah, I know, I've always known that."
She is the wife chosen by Old Man Tiandao for Su Xingyi.
When she first realized this, she defied fate and cruelly peeled off the birthmark on her palm.
Now she has to follow God's will and have a good relationship with Su Xingyi.
She is definitely not the type of person whose IQ drops when she falls in love.
If unfortunately your IQ drops, you must stop the loss in time.
"Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, people are coming." Xiao Lingyu turned his head to look outside the yard. Two siblings with fair complexions and slightly thin bodies, who looked about the same age as Jie Ge'er and Wen Ge'er, were holding hands and following Si Mingming in new clothes.
"They are the siblings, Lu Xiaoming and Lu Xiaohuan. Come and meet your parents."
Xiao Ming quickly stepped forward and made a standard greeting. "Xiao Ming greets Mom and Dad. Long live Mom and Dad."
Xiao Huan did the same thing, "Xiao Huan greets mom and dad, long live mom and dad."
Seeing that the brother and sister's greetings were very natural, not like they were learned on the spur of the moment, Xiao Lingyu said, "Okay, both of you raise your heads and sit next to your parents."
Afterwards, Xiao Lingyu had a good talk with the brother and sister.
The brother and sister were abducted by human traffickers from the wealthy Lu family in Pingyang County.
When the traffickers' cargo ship reached the waters near Wuling County, the brother and sister finally broke the hemp ropes tied to their bodies. When they tried to escape, they were accidentally discovered by the traffickers and forced onto the deck, leaving them with no way to escape.
The eldest brother Lu Xiaoming knew that he could not fall into the hands of human traffickers again. What awaited them was not just a beating, they would be sold to the mountains and would never see their parents again.
The Lu family's children started learning to swim at the age of three. The Lu siblings were forced onto the deck with no way to retreat. Behind them was a bottomless river. If they fell into the hands of human traffickers, they would be dead anyway. Why not take a gamble? Maybe there would be a chance of survival.
Six-year-old Lu Xiaoming made a bold decision and jumped off the boat holding his four-year-old sister.
When the brother and sister woke up, they were surrounded by a group of beggars. They originally thought they were their saviors, but they found that they had fallen into a wolf's den again. They were forced to beg by the big beggars. If they could not get any food or money, they would be beaten and starved.
Su Xingyi comforted them, "Xiao Ming, Xiao Huan, you don't have to be afraid anymore. The beggars and human traffickers won't come to persecute you two again."
Xiao Lingyu echoed, "That's right, they won't persecute you again. I need your help now. Once this is over, I will send someone to escort you back to the Lu family in Pingyang County."
The brother and sister smiled when they heard this. Lu Xiaoming said, "From today on, I am my parents' eldest son, Su Xiaoming, and I am their beloved daughter, Su Xiaohuan."
The two people in front of me are more beautiful than their own parents, and it is not a disadvantage to be their child.
Su Xingyi patted their heads lovingly, "Okay, from today on, you are the young master and young lady of the mansion. Daddy will cook for you today."
"Moyu, Shangxue, Ruyu, and Sijin, take them back and clean them up properly, then send them to the dining hall to use the money during lunch."
"Yes, ma'am."
The four maids noticed that the Su family was not ordinary. They knew very well that they had to cooperate with the couple to put on a good show. But after the show, what should they do next?
Although they will be free and have the freedom to marry after three years, they are not like Xiao Ming and Xiao Huan, who have a home to return to.
Jinshu said, "Don't worry about what will happen next. Let's make plans after three years. Now we are members of the Su family. We should do our part under Madam Su. If the master treats us well, even if I regain my freedom after three years, I think I will continue to work for the Su family."
Ruyu and the others thought it made sense. After all, three years was not a long time nor a short time. The most important thing for them was to complete the tasks assigned by Madam Su.
"Madam Su, these are the indentures for the servants in this mansion. Do you think we should let them go immediately after this, or wait three years?"
Xiao Lingyu looked through several indentures and asked, "Does the Lu family have enough manpower?"
Si Mingming was unsure, "I'll have to go back and ask Butler Zhou."
"Okay then. I'll keep the four older maids first, and send the rest back to the Lu Mansion's annex. If the Lu Mansion doesn't admit new members, I'll consider giving them birth contracts later."
Xiao Lingyu took out the indentures of four maids and handed the rest back to Si Mingming.
"Mingming, how much did you spend on all this? I'll reimburse you."
Si Mingming hurriedly said, "These were all arranged by my wife."
He didn't dare ask Madam Su for money, because all the money would be used to pay the Lu family's public account according to Lu Yuan's wishes.
"It didn't cost much money, please don't take it to heart, Madam Su."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Tell me the exact number so I can have an idea."
She was supposed to spend money to arrange these things.
Si Mingming thought that if he told her, Mrs. Su would definitely reimburse him.
Will he accept it or not?
If his master knew about this, wouldn't he be punished?
"Madam, I need to figure out the exact amount of this silver when I get back. Tai Zhuo, would you like to confirm it today?"
