She was obviously a girl raised in a poor family, but she was born elegant and charming, pure and innocent.
This time her appearance was well-behaved yet a little cold, as if she was a spoiled young lady who was well-read and could not stand any grievance.
Who would have known that at such a young age she had already become the eighth concubine of Marshal Lu of Jincheng.
"Host, that silly boy two hundred meters ahead, covered in mud and wearing tattered, dirty clothes, is the hero, Lu Nian Di. Hurry up and seize the initiative!"
After tidying up her hair a little, she walked towards Lu Nian Di. It was hard not to notice him, because when they met for the first time, a symbol invisible to others would appear on his head to tell Chen Miaoyi that this was the person she wanted to conquer.
Lu Niandi was about the same age as her, perhaps a year or two younger. He looked like a native of the countryside, with disheveled hair and messy features.
His clothes were covered in mud, and the cloth shoes on his feet had a hole in them, revealing his toes, which were also black.
He was not very short, and was even taller than the people around him. He stood beside the busy street, looking blankly at the people and vehicles coming and going, looking out of place in this bustling big city.
His eyes were a little dull and blurry, as if he didn't know where he was going. There were too many people and he couldn't find the direction he wanted to go.
"Ouch! You hurt me, boy!"
Just as Chen Miaoyi had not arrived yet, an old lady bumped into him, causing Lu Nian Di's thin body to stagger.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He hesitated and reached out to help the old lady up.
How could he, a newcomer to the big city, know how sinister people are? This old woman was clearly a professional scammer.
Not only did she not get up, she sat on the ground, crying out, "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" "My waist hurts so much, I'm afraid it's broken. I have to go to the hospital!"
Lu Nian Di had just moved to the city from the countryside and had never seen such a bad guy before. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
In memory, the only child of Marshal Lu, who would later become the Young Marshal, was decisive and cold-hearted. When he came to Lu Mansion, Chen Miaoyi was not there.
Now I can see clearly how he was bullied.
"Excuse me, can I help you get to the hospital?"
Although Lu Niandi was scared, he still wanted to take responsibility for what he had done, even though he was in a daze and thought he was bumped by someone instead of bumping into someone else.
"Go to the hospital? I don't have the energy to go to the hospital right now. How about this, you give me some money and I'll take a car myself."
The old lady who was trying to scam people said that she didn't even think about it. With Lu Nian Di dressed like that, how could he have money?
"I don't have any money." Lu Niandi touched his pocket and found it was clean.
"No money? If you don't have money, then come to my house and work for me!"
The old woman said fiercely, and Chen Miaoyi remembered that there had been a big case in Jincheng.
Young Marshal Lu Nian Di busted a whole group of human traffickers. This group of human traffickers specialized in extorting money from people by hitting cars. Those who were rich were deceived by them, and those who were poor were forced to work by them. In fact, they were selling these people.
They don't scam people like others who only scam the rich. Instead, they scam young children from poor families because such children are easy to cheat and will be afraid if they are scared.
I'm afraid that Lu Nian Di was deceived by them, which is why he busted the human traffickers' den.
If she shows up now, won't that allow the human traffickers to run rampant for a while longer?
"Come with me, come with me quickly, and when my son comes, you can work for our family and pay us back!"
The old woman grabbed Lu Niandi's trouser leg and acted like she was punching him. She was still pretending that she couldn't get up.
"Stop, let my brother go!" Chen Miaoyi yelled, ran over in a few steps, slapped the old woman's hand away, and protected Lu Nian Di behind her.
At this time, Lu Niandi was already a little taller than her.
"I was wondering why my brother hasn't been seen for several days. Turns out he was kidnapped by a human trafficker like you. Come with me to the police station!"
Chen Miaoyi dragged the old woman away without saying a word. When the old woman heard the word "human trafficker", she became a little nervous.
"Miss, Miss, have you mistaken me for someone else? How could this ragged boy be your brother?"
Regardless of other things, the human traffickers still have some sense. Even if it is a rich young man who has gone missing, he should be wearing silk and satin, not this coarse linen shirt.
"My brother has been missing for several days, and our whole family is looking for him. If you don't believe me, come with me to the police station and ask!
I think you are a human trafficker, right?"
The old woman was a little worried as more and more people gathered around.
"That's not me, I just fell down while walking and your brother helped me up, didn't he?
Hey, I'm leaving now."
The old woman quickly got up from the ground, found a small path and left.
Lu Nian Di had been staring at her blankly ever since she held her hand and protected him behind her.
This sister who looks like a fairy must be a real fairy. Even if he has never seen the world, he can tell that the old woman is a liar.
A real fairy will descend from the sky and save him from danger.
Just like his mother said, the fairy child under the Bodhisattva's seat.
Chen Miaoyi turned around and took out her handkerchief. Fortunately, it was popular among students nowadays to carry handkerchiefs with them.
"Are you okay? Come on, wipe your face."
Lu Niandi took the handkerchief. It was a white handkerchief embroidered with lotus and swimming fish.
But he didn't want to wipe it on his face. His face must be very dirty, and he didn't want to dirty the fairy sister's handkerchief.
"These people are professional scammers. Don't trust them. If you see one, get out of the way immediately, or you'll be the one to fall before them. Don't be fooled again."
Thinking of gaining Lu Nian Di's favor, Chen Miaoyi forced out her sweetest and gentlest smile.
"Thanks."
Lu Nian Di finally said his first words to her, which were thank you, but his throat was still a little stuck.
Looking back, after Marshal Lu became famous, many people dug up his history.
I heard that he came to Lu Mansion on an empty stomach and hadn't eaten for several days. He was very tough.
"Have you eaten? Shall I take you to eat something?" Chen Miaoyi asked. This wave of questions were easy points, and she had to seize them no matter what.
Lu Niandi shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He must look dirty and ugly now, right?
But when he lowered his head, he saw the holes in his cloth shoes, exposing his toes. This made him feel even more ashamed, and he wished he could find a place to hide.
But there is nothing wrong with the cloth shoes. His mother made them for him a long time ago, and he was reluctant to wear them even during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
He felt even more ashamed of his disgust.
"What's wrong? I'm hungry too. Why don't you just eat with me?"
