The fat man was leering at the woman and kept touching her inappropriately.
Mingxiu frowned and took a few steps forward to help, but was suddenly stopped by Kangxi.
Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with some doubt. Kangxi stepped forward and stood in front of Mingxiu, blocking her way. "Wait and see, don't worry, this woman is not someone to be trifled with." As Kangxi spoke, he gave the woman kneeling on the ground a disgusted look.
Mingxiu immediately understood; it seemed this woman really was a naive and manipulative woman.
Thinking of this, Mingxiu became even more interested in watching, hiding behind Kangxi and watching the two of them intently.
Then she heard the woman start speaking. As soon as she opened her mouth, Mingxiu broke out in a cold sweat from the shock of her voice. Oh my god, that voice was so unpleasant to listen to.
"Sir, please don't do this. If you continue, I... I'll call for help." Although the woman was refusing, she still acted delicate and weak, adopting a coy and inviting posture, which greatly excited Mingxiu.
The fat man stroked his chin: "Go ahead and scream, hehehe, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."
Mingxiu watched this good show with a serious expression. It really was typical bully lines. It was a pity that she couldn't take out the watermelon from her space, otherwise she really wanted to be a bystander and watch the show while eating the melon.
Although there was no melon, Mingxiu had melon seeds, which is a standard accessory for watching a show. Mingxiu turned to look at Yulan behind her, took the melon seeds from her hand, and started eating them.
He even offered some to Emperor Kangxi, but Kangxi rolled his eyes at him, knowing he couldn't do such a thing, and waved his hand, telling her to eat it herself.
Mingxiu distributed some melon seeds to everyone around her with great interest. The palace maids and guards all received some, and when she saw some handsome young men nearby, she generously gave one of them a handful as well.
The handsome young man was watching the commotion when someone suddenly shoved a handful of sunflower seeds into his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and froze when he saw the person in front of him.
Mingxiu gave the money on a whim and then paid no attention to it, focusing intently on what was happening in front of her. She never expected to encounter such a good thing while out and about. It seems she can come out and join in the fun more often in the next few days.
The woman looked around in a panic, on the verge of tears, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. However, her eyes were darting around, as if searching for someone who could help her.
Suddenly, the woman's gaze fixed directly on Mingxiu's direction. Mingxiu, who was happily eating melon, was immediately startled by the look.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough." Mingxiu patted her chest.
Kangxi quickly turned to look at Mingxiu and patted her back. Yulan, who was beside her, quickly handed her a water cup. Mingxiu drank a couple of sips of water before she felt better.
"You should concentrate on eating when you're eating, how come you still choke?" Kangxi looked at Mingxiu with some helplessness.
Mingxiu choked on the melon seeds until tears streamed down her face. It took her a while to recover. She waved her hand and said, "Oops, oops! I was just so engrossed in watching. I'm not eating anymore." As she spoke, Mingxiu had the melon seeds put away. Although eating melon seeds was fun, her life was more important, so she decided to focus on eating the melon.
The woman still kneeling on the ground had originally set her sights on Kangxi. Although Kangxi was old, he was well-maintained and had the unique aura of an emperor, so he looked very young. The woman took a liking to him at first sight.
Just as she was about to speak, Mingxiu stopped her. The woman quietly pursed her lips and turned her gaze elsewhere.
So when Mingxiu recovered and looked over, she saw that the woman had directly focused her gaze on the man who had just shared the melon seeds with Mingxiu.
Mingxiu stared at the two of them with wide eyes.
"Young master, please save me. I'll serve you like a slave from now on." As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears as she looked up at the handsome young master.
Handsome young man: !!!
The handsome young man was still stunned by the calmness of the person in front of him when he was grabbed by the woman.
I snapped back to reality in an instant, oh dear, I've gotten myself into this mess.
The handsome man looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, then at the group of men and women standing in front of him. His face turned bright red, and he felt as if the clothes being pulled by the woman on the ground were burning hot.
He frantically waved his hands, saying, "I can't, I have no money, I can't help you, you should find someone else." This waving caused the melon seeds Mingxiu had just given him to fall onto the woman on the ground.
In a short while, the woman was covered in sunflower seeds.
Mingxiu found it amusing to watch from the side.
The woman looked at the sunflower seeds on her body, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face.
Who are you kidding? If you're broke, why are you dressed so richly? If you're broke, why are you followed by servants?
And just the jade pendant at his waist and the flute behind him look incredibly valuable. His entire attire clearly indicates that he is from a wealthy family.
So she took a step forward, kneeling, and got closer to the handsome man. She grabbed the man's clothes with one hand and kowtowed pitifully, saying, "My lord, please, save me! I'm willing to be your slave, your servant, your ox or your horse."
The handsome man's expression changed. He wasn't stupid; this woman was clearly clinging to him. Humph! Did she really think he was easy to bully? What kind of person would dare to come after him?
The handsome man glanced at Kangxi and Mingxiu, then looked at the woman kowtowing on the ground and said in confusion, "But...didn't that man want to buy you? Can't you be a slave to anyone? Since you're going to be a slave anyway, why did I have to save you? Aren't there already plenty over there?"
The handsome man looked puzzled and said, but in his heart he wanted to kick her. If it weren't for his uncle watching, he would have kicked her long ago. Why was he wasting his breath talking to her?
The crowd of onlookers, like Mingxiu, all showed expressions of sudden realization. A middle-aged man who had watched the whole thing said with a grin, "Young master, you don't know this, do you? There are different kinds of servants among servants."
As soon as he said this, a burst of teasing laughter erupted around him, and Mingxiu covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.
The woman kneeling on the ground felt ashamed and indignant upon hearing the surrounding noises.
"If you don't want to save me, that's fine, but why are you being so hurtful? I was just afraid that you would be kinder to me."
