The Hu Xiao in front of the young lady looked familiar, she anxiously left her clothes that she was patting on, and stood in front of the lady, her small body acting as though she was protecting her child, but that person was not grateful to her.
"Go away, you’re blocking my path to riches!"
The woman pushed away the little girl who was blocking her path, and accidentally pushed her to the ground. Hu Xiao could only faintly smile at the girl, and threw a few pieces of silver from her waist to the woman.
Seeing this, the woman did not care about the girl that she had just pushed to the ground. Or rather, it did not matter even if she did. She turned around and walked back into the house.
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, the little girl had long recognized that this was the ’man’ who had last fainted when she left the alley yesterday. The wariness on her face gave Hu Xiao a little headache.
"Don’t worry, I don’t want anything. I’m just passing by to get a cup of water to drink."
She looked at the girl in front of her with a smile. The girl seemed to want to say something, but just then, the old woman walked out from the room with a bowl of water in her hands. Then, she shut her mouth and looked at Hu Xiao.
"Thank you very much."
The young girl took the old lady’s water and gulped it down. Seeing that Hu Xiao seemed to have no ill intentions and did not do anything extra like she said just now, she slowly walked towards the river bank.
"Wait, don’t wash your clothes anymore. Auntie Li at the village entrance is here, why don’t you go with Auntie Li and take a look at that big guy to see if he has set his sights on you. It’s time for him to get married, don’t embarrass our family!" "Pfft, what the heck is this thing."
He stopped the woman who still wanted to walk forward, but the old woman’s words were really unpleasant. The woman changed her attitude to those big men and stood on the side while enduring.
"Mother, Li Dazhuang is a butcher, and he even has many wives. Not a single one of them didn’t die tragically."
Fine, Hu Xiao understood then, it was because she wanted to give the girl in front of him to Li Dazhuang to play with, and most of the time, she would be given a sum of money, which, from the looks of the village, was not much either.
Just now, Hu Xiao thought that this world would also have someone urging it on, that both parents would be the same, but if that was the case, wasn’t it the same as all of them wanting to sell their daughters for wealth?
"Shut up! "Even if you want to, you can go. Even if you don’t want to, you have to!"
Moreover, that old woman had already looked at him many times. Hu Xiao very consciously put down the bowl in her hand and was about to leave.
Seeing Hu Xiao’s actions, the old lady heaved a sigh of relief, as though she was afraid that she would intervene.
"Hehe, originally, it was quite interesting even to you, but it seems like you are also unable to avoid these things."
After walking a short distance, he heard the voice behind him, and the smile on Hu Xiao’s face never left her face.
His words just now had annoyed the little girl, causing her to look at Hu Xiao who was alone in her image, before she abandoned the cursing mother and Aunty Li who wanted to take her to see Li Da Zhuang and quietly followed.
"Alright, there’s no need to follow. Come out, there’s no one here."
He looked around at his surroundings, turned around, and spoke to the empty path in a calm and unperturbed manner.
"You knew I was behind you?"
The young lady did not move, Hu Xiao did not urge her, but the smile on her face became more and more impatient.
"With your little bit of skill, I find it easy."
Hu Xiao had to admit that she did this on purpose as she looked at this child in front of him who she had easily provoked.
"What are you trying to do!"
Upon realizing that he had fallen into a trap, he could only remain calm.
"I don’t want to do anything, I just feel that there is some fate between you and me. Moreover, your family doesn’t seem to ’value’ you too much, would you be willing to leave with me? Xiao Yu? "
After dispersing her hair, she returned to her normal speaking voice. Looking at the lady in front of him who was becoming more and more shocked, Hu Xiao couldn’t help but become a little nervous.
Xiao Yu was that woman’s name, so after knowing about it from the elders, she remembered it in her heart.
"How do you know me? So how could he dress up as a man? Just who are you! "
At this moment, Xiao Yu was not only shocked, but also at a loss of what to do. Just now, when Hu Xiao called out his name, it was really too gentle, so gentle that she remembered her own father.
"Sigh, since you are a citizen of East Court, then you can be considered as a citizen of this palace. I am the current Empress Hu Xiao of East Court."
Hu Xiao’s name had long ago spread amongst the commoners due to the Sui City, but even though it was so obvious, Xiao Yu still did not believe it. Empress was a high and mighty person, why did she come to their little village and wear it to such an extent!
But, you have never seen me, so it’s normal that you don’t believe me. But, it’s not important if you don’t believe me, and following me can be considered a way out, and leaving that house full of holes can be considered a breakthrough. I’m going to South Yue, and at that time, you can just wait and see the attitude of the South Yue Imperial Family towards me before deciding whether or not to follow me.
She quietly looked at Xiao Yu, but Hu Xiao did not say anything.
At the same time, Xiao Yu was also looking at Hu Xiao, or more accurately speaking, she was pondering whether or not she was going to follow Hu Xiao.
Furthermore, Xiao Yu had no doubt that the person in front of her was the Empress. After hearing about Hu Xiao’s deeds, Xiao Yu had started to admire him, and the feeling Hu Xiao gave her was that of the Hu Xiao she had imagined. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"I promise you."
In the end, he still nodded his head slowly. Hu Xiao’s smile became more sincere.
"I wonder if the Empress can give it to my family?"
The words were difficult to speak. He was very thin-skinned to begin with, so he could only mumble in embarrassment.
"Don’t worry. Just now, when I left, I left twenty taels of silvers behind. Your mother will see it when she returns to her room."
When Hu Xiao left, she purposely circled around to do this thing. Seeing that Xiao Yu did not know what to say, the only thing that could embarrass this child was the silver.
She did not know how Hu Xiao had done it, but she was still looking at him blindly. The words Hu Xiao had said were definitely not lies, and luckily she had chosen to follow Hu Xiao. Otherwise, wouldn’t all that silver have been wasted?
"You are my luck, so it’s fine if you don’t follow me. With twenty taels of silvers, your lives should be better off."
