Bai Fuya was shocked and quickly reached out to pull her out of the bathtub.
Bai Fuya hugged Leng Xiyue and patted her back while urgently comforting her, "You silly girl, you can't do anything foolish. You're still so young, you have a long road ahead of you. Someone will definitely help you seek justice for your parents and relatives!"
Whether it was Bai Fuya's embrace that was too warm or her words that were too kind, Leng Xiyue finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing Leng Xiyue cry, Bai Fuya felt a pang of sympathy: "Don't be afraid! We're here for you. From now on, we'll be your family!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Xiyue's tears fell even more fiercely.
"Be careful not to catch a cold." Granny Shang quickly took a large cloth and wrapped it around Leng Xiyue.
Bai Fuya handed Leng Xiyue over to Granny Shang and asked her to help her get dressed.
But Leng Xiyue was not about to let Granny Shang help her get dressed, so she quickly dressed herself.
Bai Fuya stood in the outer room, watching Leng Xiyue's movements so nimble that they seemed unlike those of a child.
Logically speaking, this child is the daughter of a governor, and she should have many people serving her when she eats and dresses. She shouldn't be so quick and efficient! Especially since she is only five or six years old!
Her little one is already quite clever; he can eat, dress, and bathe by himself, but he's not as nimble as her.
Moreover, this child was frighteningly calm. So many people in her family were gone, and they were all victims, yet she didn't cry or make a fuss. Even though she cried for a short while, she silently shed tears, which was unlike any other child.
After Leng Xiyue finished dressing, Bai Fuya and Granny Shang led her to the dining hall for a meal.
Before they returned, Granny Shang had already prepared the meal, just waiting for them to come back.
When Youyi and Xiaobao saw them leading Leng Xiyue over, they asked with concern, "Is she hurt?"
"Probably not." Bai Fuya and Granny Shang replied hesitantly, since neither of them had bathed or dressed her and they hadn't really seen her clearly.
However, when Bai Fuya pulled her out of the bathtub, she didn't seem to see any injuries.
Leng Xiyue seemed to understand their question and shook her head.
Youyi and Bai Fuya didn't understand Leng Xiyue's meaning, but Xiaobao did: "She didn't say she wasn't injured."
Bai Fuya rubbed Leng Xiyue's head: "Let's eat, the food is getting cold."
"That's right, we've already prepared the meal and were waiting for you to come back, you..." Granny Shang stopped mid-sentence and glanced at Leng Xiyue.
They went to rescue people, so it's not fair to say they were just loitering around outside.
Youyi and Xiaobao exchanged a guilty glance.
They've already eaten at a restaurant, what's the point of eating here!
Thinking of that restaurant, Xiao Bao glanced at You Yi again.
His poison is still in the hands of the female shopkeeper; he promised to go and redeem it.
You Yi understood Xiao Bao's meaning perfectly well, but with such a big incident, he didn't care about the bottle of poison anymore; he'd deal with it later.
Five people were eating at the table. Youyi and Xiaobao didn't touch their chopsticks, Leng Xiyue didn't move at all, and only Bai Fuya and Granny Shang were eating.
Youyi and Xiaobao aren't eating, and Bai Fuya and Granny Shang are used to it; they must be sneaking food outside again.
But this girl...
Bai Fuya tenderly served Leng Xiyue some food, saying, "I know you're upset, please eat something. If you get sick from hunger, who will help your parents seek justice?"
Bai Fuya's words instantly brought tears to Leng Xiyue's eyes again.
Xiao Bao sat up straight and picked up a beef ball for Leng Xiyue: "Grandma's beef balls are the best. You should try them."
Leng Xiyue glanced at Xiao Bao, and seeing his sincere and innocent face, her heart softened immediately. She picked up the beef ball and tasted it; it was indeed quite delicious.
Seeing that she ate very little and only ate the food he picked out for her, Xiao Bao transformed into a little food-picking angel, constantly picking food for her.
Although Leng Xiyue had no appetite, she ate some of the food Xiao Bao picked out for her, so she could barely manage to eat something.
After Leng Xiyue finished eating, Granny Shang took her to bed.
Bai Fuya, You Yi, and Xiao Bao sat in the hall discussing things.
"Should we go into the city again to inquire about the situation at the governor's mansion? Has anyone taken over her family's case?" Bai Fuya looked at You Yi, her meaning clear: she wanted You Yi to inquire.
Youyi was about to refuse when Xiaobao covered her mouth, saying, "I think Master really should go."
Youyi immediately turned and glared at Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao glared at him warningly and whispered a reminder: "Don't forget the poison!"
...Youyi was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes, but seeing Xiaobao's serious expression, she could only nod helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go, alright?"
It's just about getting the poison back; it's not like he's short of money!
Seeing that You Yi agreed, Bai Fuya and Xiao Bao were both satisfied.
"I'll go check on that girl. I'll leave this matter to you all," Bai Fuya said as she went to Granny Shang's room.
As soon as Bai Fuya left, Youyi went back to his room to look for silver. He searched high and low, almost turning the whole room upside down, but still couldn't find a single copper coin.
Xiao Bao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he went back to his room, took out a silver ingot from his storage jar, and gave it to You Yi.
Youyi was overjoyed as he held the silver: "My apprentice is the best! He truly lives up to his master's reputation..."
"Stop!" Just as You Yi was about to use the opportunity of praising Xiao Bao to boast about himself, Xiao Bao raised his hand to stop him: "This is a one-time thing, don't do it again!"
Youyi pursed her lips and remained silent.
Just this once? That's definitely not possible!
"Let's go!" Xiao Bao pulled You Yi out.
Although Xiao Bao has learned martial arts quite well, he is still young, and his lightness skill is still a bit slow. You Yi still carries Xiao Bao and flies.
Youyi's lightness skill had reached an unparalleled level, and in just a few moments, the two arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant had already closed by then, and the female manager had just finished taking a bath and was about to go to sleep when the door was kicked open with a bang.
"Who!" The female shopkeeper was startled and jumped up from the bed.
"It's you!" Upon seeing Xiao Bao, the female shopkeeper immediately recognized You Yi and excitedly got out of bed, saying, "You haven't changed your mind and are going to give the child to me, have you?!"
Before Youyi could speak, the female shopkeeper immediately said, "Don't worry, as long as you leave the child here, I will definitely reward you handsomely. How about five hundred taels?"
Five hundred taels?
Youyi looked at Xiaobao with bright, sparkling eyes.
I never thought this brat would be worth five hundred taels!
As soon as Youyi sticks out his butt, Xiaobao knows what kind of poop he's about to take, and immediately glares at him warningly.
Youyi chuckled dryly and patted his little back reassuringly: "Don't worry, a mere five hundred taels is nothing to me!"
"One thousand taels!" As soon as You Yi said this, the female shopkeeper immediately raised the price.
