The woman suddenly knelt down and said, "Madam, please save my sister."
"Your sister?" Du Wanchun asked, puzzled.
At this moment, Yu'er came out of the house. He had been staying here these past few days since Mianmian got married.
Upon seeing the woman, Yu'er asked in surprise, "Ling'er, what brings you here?"
Du Wanchun was even more confused now, "Yu'er, you know her?"
He strode up to the woman and said, "Mother, do you remember the embroiderer from Ruan County that I told you about? This girl is her sister."
Du Wanchun understood this time.
She helped the woman up and asked gently, "Tell me what's wrong."
The little girl named Ling'er cried as she said, "Madam Zhou, Manager Zhou, my sister was kidnapped a few days ago."
"By whom?" Yu'er asked immediately.
Ling'er said, "A merchant surnamed Liu said that my sister owes him money for cloth and he wants to kidnap her to be his concubine!"
Upon hearing this, Yu'er's face was clearly filled with anger.
"What nonsense about silver for cloth? I remember giving your sister enough silver before I left."
Ling'er's tears streamed down her face. "The silver was stolen overnight, Manager Zhou. I really had no other choice but to come and beg you. I'm afraid my sister would rather die than submit to your demands."
Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "You go inside and rest first, I'll talk to my mother about this."
"Yes, Manager Zhou." Ling'er bowed to the two of them.
Du Wanchun called to Granny Zhuang and asked her to take her inside. "Granny, this girl must have suffered a lot on the way. Please help her change into clean clothes and get her some food."
After looking the young girl over, Granny Zhuang led her inside. "Miss, come with me."
The little girl followed cautiously forward.
After Ling'er left, Du Wanchun asked Yu'er seriously, "Tell me, what exactly is going on between you and this girl's sister?"
Yu'er scratched the back of his head, thought for a long time, and then replied, "Because Mother and Mianmian liked that girl's embroidery, I went to Ruan County several times and hit it off with that girl at first sight."
As he spoke, he quickly waved his hand and said, "But, but it's not the kind of relationship Mother thinks we have. We're just friends."
“Our relationship was limited to me giving her money and her providing me with embroidery.”
Du Wanchun dropped her serious demeanor and chuckled secretly, "Really?"
Yu'er nodded emphatically, "That's right, this girl already has someone she likes."
Du Wanchun smiled and asked, "And you? Do you have feelings for her?"
Yu'er lowered her eyes slightly, a look of disappointment on her face. "What's the use of me liking her? She only sees me as a confidant."
Du Wanchun sighed and continued with a smile, "I had long suspected that your feelings for this embroiderer were not simple, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to Ruan County time and time again."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and continued, "Speaking of which, you really have a connection with embroidery. I remember when you were young, when I took you to Qingzhou Prefecture, you stared at a girl selling embroidery on the road. We had no choice but to use the silver we had to buy all of that girl's embroidery."
Yu'er asked in confusion, "Is that so?"
Du Wanchun nodded. "You and Yi'er were often by Mr. Yuan's side when you were young, so you probably forgot about this."
Yu'er had indeed forgotten.
Du Wanchun smiled meaningfully and said, "Yu'er, if you really have feelings for this woman, go and try it. If you treat her sincerely, she will definitely remember your kindness."
As she spoke, she looked at Ling'er inside the house, "Otherwise, this girl wouldn't have traveled all this way to find you. Go now, go to Ruan County and rescue her."
"If she truly has no feelings for you, you can give up on her sooner rather than later."
Encouraged by Du Wanchun's words, Yu'er pondered for a moment, then clenched his fists and replied, "Mother is right, I'll go now."
Du Wanchun waved to him, "Go."
Yu'er immediately turned around and went to the stable to fetch the horse.
Hearing the commotion inside, Ling'er rushed out and exclaimed, "Manager Zhou, are you going to save my sister?"
