Chapter 255 I've Really Thought It Through
One sentence left Yun Qin stunned.
After returning home, he parted ways with Li Xian.
Of course, Ye Wan only found out about this later.
"Mother, it was that little beggar who saved me. Can I give him a tael of silver?" Er Ya asked Ye Wan softly as she saw the child who had saved her not far away.
After Ye Wan nodded, Er Ya took the silver and walked to the timid little beggar not far away.
This kid came to the yamen with them; he probably didn't get anything out of them earlier.
When Er Ya offered the silver, the little beggar dodged it and didn't take it.
"You don't want it?" Er Ya asked, puzzled.
He quickly realized what was going on and hurriedly said, "You think it's not enough? Then I'll give you one more ounce at most, making it two ounces in total. That's all I have. Don't even think about trying to cheat me!"
Two taels of silver is a lot of money; it can feed you for several months if you eat steamed buns.
I can only give you three ounces at most, no more.
The little beggar walked to a spot not far from Ye Wan and knelt down with a thud. "Madam, I have nowhere to go. Could you take me in as a servant and give me a meal? I don't want any money."
"What's your name?" Ye Wan looked at the little beggar. He was very thin and not particularly dirty.
"Madam, my name is Xiaoshu."
Ye Wan looked at Er Ya, "You decide whether or not you want to take them in?"
If that little beggar hadn't pulled Er Ya away, she would definitely have gotten hurt.
Er Ya thought for a moment, "Mother, when I open my shop, I'll definitely need a delivery boy. Why don't we keep him here?"
"good."
"Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Second Miss!"
The little tree happily followed at the very back.
Ye Wan looked at Er Ya, "I don't want this to happen again."
"Mother, I was wrong." Er Ya immediately lowered her head.
"Where did we go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have sworn at people, it's not like a lady." Er Ya felt bad, she just couldn't swallow her anger.
When my older sister was in the countryside, she was harassed by people. Now that she has moved to a different place, people still want to take her as a concubine.
Ye Wan patted Er Ya's hair. "Then you still don't know where you went wrong. Lady is just a title. Your mistake was acting rashly. If he suddenly attacked and hurt someone, the two servants you brought would be useless. What would you do if Li Xian sent more people to beat you up?"
These words made Er Ya's heart tremble.
I will remember this countless times when I encounter similar situations in the future.
"Remember this next time: even if you want to vent your anger, bring a reliable person with you and only vent your anger when you can ensure your own safety."
"Mom, I remember, you're so kind." Er Ya hugged Ye Wan's arm.
"Alright, I have some things to take care of. You three go home first. Aunt, please come with me."
Huigu was a little worried. "Madam, I'd better stay with you."
Ye Wan has to deal with a variety of people, and she can't feel at ease without keeping an eye on things.
"No need. I'm a grown man, I know what I'm doing. You should stay with them, otherwise I'm really worried."
She had just come out when the accident happened.
Huigu nodded.
Ye Wan then looked at Fang Daru and Aunt Cai, who looked guilty, and said, "Father and Mother, don't blame yourselves. This girl is just impulsive and sometimes not very likable. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"I do like her, but it's our fault. Luckily, Xiaoshu pulled us back, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain ourselves to you," Aunt Cai sighed.
Ye Wan was busy and left after saying only a few words.
The couple took their child home.
"Old man, where are you going?" Aunt Cai looked up and saw the old man walking out.
Fang Daru stopped and looked at his wife. "It's time for me to step into the public eye. If things continue like this, the women in our family will have to go through this again."
Aunt Cai paused for a moment, then laughed, "After eating so much for so many years, it's time to do something practical. We two old folks have nothing now, except for your title, which sounds nice."
"But are you really sure about this?"
The old man's spirits were broken when he was betrayed by his closest relatives.
"The people have all run away, he can't win people's hearts, so what's there for me to be upset about? It's my blessing to have met a wise ruler in my lifetime!"
Fang Daru smiled, as if he had returned to the past.
...
...
"Mom, Chu Xiujie said he'd take the three of us out to play. I want to go with you, Mom."
Ye Wan had only had half a day of free time when the three girls came to find her.
Daya said, "Sanya, you can't be so rude. You should call him Uncle Chu."
Chu Xiujie coughed lightly, "Ahem, just call me by my full name, or you can call me Brother Chu. You're making me sound old."
Ye Wan looked at Chu Xiujie. Was this person here to help him, or to freeload?
Chu Xiujie looked up at the roof, pretending not to understand.
He's been so busy for so long, he's lost weight, and Prince Jing sending him here is basically giving him a disguised vacation.
Doesn't he deserve to eat well, drink well, and have fun?
"Going out to play is fine, but you'd better keep a close eye on them." Ye Wan looked at Chu Xiujie.
The three kids are getting bored at home, so it's good for them to go out and play.
To be honest, she wanted to go too!
"Don't worry, not a single hair will be missing."
After making his promise, Chu Xiujie was about to take the three of them out.
Daya smiled and said, "I won't go. You can take Erya and Sanya. I still need to study."
“You’re always reading books, you’ve become a bookworm. What’s there to read? Don’t worry, come play with us. I guarantee you won’t lose a single hair.” Chu Xiujie said, giving Sanya a wink.
Sanya immediately hugged Daya, "Big sister! Come with us! Don't you always say that traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books? Let's go out and have some fun. Maybe you'll gain a new perspective on life."
Da Ya looked at her and said, "Someone who can't even write a single word properly, what kind of realm do you understand?"
Er Ya immediately grabbed her other arm, "Big sister, just come with us. You're so thoughtful, Mother will definitely feel at ease with you taking care of us."
As soon as Er Ya said that, Daya immediately agreed.
Sanya winked at Erya, "Second sister, you're the one with the best ideas!"
Er Ya, of course.
The three sisters followed Chu Xiujie out, accompanied by their maids.
As soon as they stepped out the door, Daya felt as if someone was watching them.
Looking back, she wondered if she was seeing things, but she thought she saw someone hiding in the alley.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Sanya asked, "Big sister, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little unwell."
Da Ya thought she might have misread it, so she just made up an excuse.
"Are you alright? Should we go back?"
"It's okay, I'm all better now."
The three of them boarded the carriage one after another, with Chu Xiujie acting as the driver.
Not far away, a man and a woman, looking furtive, emerged from the alley.
