Before long, the madam brought Tao'er out.
The moment Rong Qingqing saw Tao'er, her eyes lit up.
No wonder the madam wouldn't let her go; it turns out Tao'er is so beautiful.
Although she was dressed in coarse cloth and her face was pale, her stunning beauty was undeniable.
She suddenly understood why Chen was so perverted, wanting to sell Tao'er to a brothel; it must have been out of jealousy, jealousy of Tao'er's good looks.
Tao'er stood lifelessly behind the madam, her face blank.
The madam lifted her eyelids and said to Tao'er, "Miss Tao'er, this young master claims to be your creditor. Since your creditor has come knocking, I dare not keep you any longer. You should go with him."
Upon hearing this, Tao'er finally raised her eyes and looked at Rong Qingqing.
When she saw Rong Qingqing, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Her lips moved as if she was about to say something, but Rong Qingqing suddenly rushed over and grabbed her collar. "You brat, you owe me so much money and you haven't paid it back. You've actually come hiding here. Come with me right now!"
Before Tao'er could react, she was pulled away.
The madam stood there dumbfounded. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly chased after them, but in the long alley, there was no sign of Rong Qingqing and the others.
The madam looked at the empty alley, stamped her foot in frustration, and said, "Oh dear, I forgot to ask him for some money to redeem me..."
After being dragged out of the courtyard by Rong Qingqing, Tao'er ran out of the alley without stopping.
When the commotion reached her ears, Tao'er's face paled. She finally came to her senses, forcefully pulled her hand back, and turned to walk away.
Rong Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled her back, "Tao'er, what are you doing?"
Tao'er lowered her eyes, not daring to meet her gaze, and said in a humble tone, "Miss, I'm dirty, please don't touch me, don't get your hands dirty."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing's expression softened. "Tao'er, come back with me first. My grandmother misses you very much and wants you to go back and continue to serve her."
Upon hearing the mention of Madam Rong, Tao'er's expression shifted slightly, her tone revealing undisguised surprise, "The old lady has woken up?"
"Yes, she's been awake for several days now. As soon as she woke up, she was worried about you all and asked me to find you and bring you back," Rong Qingqing said with a smile. It was clear that Tao'er was sincere towards Madam Rong; the joy on her face when she heard that the old lady had woken up was genuine.
"Tao'er, come back with me." She softened her voice.
Tao'er's eyes dimmed, and she shook her head. "Miss, I appreciate your kindness, but please give my regards to the Old Madam."
Rong Qingqing frowned. "Why?"
Tao'er dared not look into her eyes; the young lady's eyes were pure and innocent, and she was afraid that she would defile them.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she said with a sob, "Miss, I am not worthy to go back."
Rong Qingqing sighed and said with pity, "It's not your fault that you've had this experience, and no one will look down on you."
Tao'er shook her head, wrapped her arms around herself, and sobbed, "Young Miss, you don't understand, I'm really dirty, so very dirty..."
Rong Qingqing's heart sank. She felt both sympathy for her and immense anger at Chen's actions.
She took a deep breath and softened her voice, saying, "Tao'er, it's alright. Don't think so much. At least you have a pure soul, much cleaner than some people who look glamorous. My grandmother won't look down on you."
"But I despise myself and dare not go back to offend the old lady's eyes." Tao'er suddenly squatted down and cried uncontrollably.
