Pei Yuezhi agreed: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come find me this afternoon."
"Then after Liang Zhenzhen arrives in a little while, I'll go home with you so I'll know where you live."
"good."
The two chatted for a while longer before Liang Zhenzhen was brought over.
"Young Master, Manager Pei, Miss Liang has arrived," the servant said respectfully.
After washing and dressing up, Liang Zhenzhen was indeed beautiful, but due to malnutrition, she still looked thin and small. At this moment, she looked at Pei Yuezhi with some restraint.
Qiao Zixun nodded and said okay, then turned to Pei Yuezhi and asked, "Should we go back now?"
Pei Yuezhi stood up, took Liang Zhenzhen's hand, and said softly to her, "Come home with me."
Pei Yuezhi's gentle tone, coupled with the tender smile she deliberately showed to ease Liang Zhenzhen's nervousness, made Liang Zhenzhen burst into tears.
"Oh dear, don't cry. No one will bully you anymore. Smile."
This crying startled Pei Yuezhi, who hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief from her bosom and gently wiped away her tears.
"Madam, you are so kind. Zhenzhen must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her past life to be able to meet such a wonderful person as you."
Liang Zhenzhen forced a smile through her tears, which looked somewhat comical.
Pei Yuezhi found it somewhat amusing: "You won't have to live such a miserable life anymore. Come back with me now."
Liang Zhenzhen quickly wiped her face clean, lowered her head and said "okay".
When he took Liang Zhenzhen back, no one was home yet. The two children had gone to Liu Yuanyuan's house when he left, so no one was home at the moment.
After learning Pei Yuezhi's address, Qiao Zixun said goodbye and went back.
Pei Yuezhi and Liang Zhenzhen talked for a long time, and Pei Yuezhi learned about Liang Zhenzhen's background and interpersonal relationships.
Then he suddenly remembered something and asked her, "Young Master Qiao is a very kind person, and his family is very wealthy. Why don't you want to go with him?"
Liang Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this is not the first time my second uncle has sold a child. He sold his daughter, my cousin, before, but she was sold to a wealthy family in the next town."
"I heard she was originally a maid, but later became a concubine and was tortured terribly by her mistress. I'm a little scared."
"Moreover," Liang Zhenzhen paused for a moment and then said, "Zhenzhen believes that in this world, only women would genuinely want to save another woman."
Upon hearing her words, Pei Yuezhi was stunned, never expecting her to think that way.
"I see. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen here. As long as you're okay, I'll be okay with you too."
We tidied up a room for her and let her stay there for the time being.
He then went to Liu Yuanyuan's house.
Liu Yuanyuan had also woken up, but was still lying in bed. When she saw someone come in, she quickly got up, but when she saw that it was Pei Yuezhi, she slowly lay back down.
"Yuanyuan, I have something important to tell you."
Pei Yuezhi sat down and told Liu Yuanyuan everything that had just happened.
Liu Yuanyuan, who had initially been unconvinced, was shocked and opened her mouth wide after hearing these words.
"You mean you went out for a stroll and picked up a child?"
Liu Yuanyuan forced herself to calm down, but still asked incredulously.
"Yes, I picked up a child."
"My goodness, that was so sudden. But thinking about it, you did save her life, and we have a lot of work to do in the shop, so this time we have someone to help us."
"This child is so pitiful. I don't know how much suffering he has endured. I have to go and see him."
Liu Yuanyuan jumped up and started getting dressed, wanting to go check on Liang Zhenzhen.
"Don't rush, take your time to pack."
While Liu Yuanyuan was tidying up, Pei Yuezhi began to talk to the system.
"System, if you can check someone's height and measurements, can you check their background information?"
Although we saved her, we still need to verify what Liang Zhenzhen said. It's not that we don't believe her, but we always need to be vigilant.
After all, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others.
The system quickly replied: "You can see other people's figures because this system observes them with your naked eye, so it does not have the function of viewing other people's background information."
"Well, it seems I was being too optimistic." Pei Yuezhi was a little disappointed.
However, she quickly came up with another idea.
“Yuanyuan, let’s talk to your mother-in-law about these things first, and let the children know as well, before we go back.”
"Yes, yes, let's go now."
Let Granny Liu know first, so she can find someone to help her inquire. Since the system can't handle it, we still have to find a way to find out.
Liu Yuanyuan found Granny Liu, who was drinking water, and pulled her into the house.
Pei Yuezhi also called over the three children who were playing.
"I have something important to say." Pei Yuezhi organized her thoughts and recounted what had just happened.
Sure enough, she got the same shocked look as Liu Yuanyuan.
"Yuezhi, this is too sudden. Let me explain. You went out for a stroll, saw people abducting women, and then you got a girl?"
Grandma Liu's face was filled with unconcealed shock.
Fan Chao frowned slightly: "Mother, I'm a little worried. What if this person isn't what she says she is?
Fan Mu looked at her with sympathy: "But that woman was beaten up and almost sold off. I don't think it's fake."
“Mu’er, although I also think this is true, we can’t be too careful. What Brother Chao said makes sense.” Li Nian’an also agreed with what Fan Chao said.
Pei Yuezhi also said, "Yes, I wanted to find out. It's true that you can't be too careful."
"Auntie, do you know anyone from Xiahe Village? Could you help me find out?"
Grandma Liu thought for a moment and said, "I do know someone. There's a tea shop on the west side of town. We used to supply them. He's from Xiahe Village. Tomorrow, no, I'll go ask him in a little while."
"Thank you so much. You always help me at crucial moments."
"Oh, it's nothing."
Seeing that everything was over, Liu Yuanyuan asked, "Why don't we go back and check on that girl soon?"
Pei Yuezhi led the group home.
As soon as the gate to the courtyard was opened, Liang Zhenzhen was seen sweeping the yard with a broom.
Upon seeing Pei Yuezhi and her entourage enter, she quickly put down the broom and trotted over to say, "Madam, you're back. Are these your guests?"
Being addressed as "Madam" repeatedly, Pei Yuezhi felt a little embarrassed: "Zhenzhen, please don't keep calling me Madam. Just call me Aunt Pei. This is my good friend Liu Yuanyuan. You can just call her Aunt Liu."
