"Miss Xiuhong, you haven't figured out one thing yet. It's not certain whether you are the person I'm looking for." Bei Yutang said calmly.
Xiuhong understood the implication of Bei Yutang's words.
This is telling her that she has no right to act arrogantly since he is not sure that he is the person she is looking for.
Well, in that case, she will let her figure it out first. If it is her, then she can talk to her about it. If not, then this is...
"Do you want to see my back?" Xiuhong asked.
Bei Yutang nodded.
"It's okay for me to show you, but you can't watch it for free." Xiuhong took the opportunity to ask.
"How much do you want?"
Xiuhong looked at her clothes and thought for a moment, "Fifty taels, give me fifty taels of silver and I'll show it to you."
Fifty taels of silver is a huge sum of money, which would take an ordinary family ten years to spend.
Bei Yutang naturally saw her intention and did not agree readily. Instead, he bargained, "Twenty taels. I don't have that much silver."
If I agree too readily, she might change her mind and ask for a hundred taels the next moment.
"No. Twenty taels is too little. Let's say forty-five taels." Xiuhong said, taking a step back.
Bei Yutang shook his head, "Thirty taels, no more."
Xiuhong frowned, "Forty taels."
"Thirty taels, I can't afford any more."
Seeing this, Xiuhong reluctantly responded, "Okay. Thirty taels is thirty taels. Give me the money first, and I'll show you."
Bei Yutang took out three ingots of silver from his purse.
Xiuhong held the three gold ingots and smiled, forgetting the pain in her body for a moment.
Xiuhong had injuries on her body, so Bei Yutang was extremely careful when taking off her clothes to avoid touching her wounds. When her back was exposed, Bei Yutang noticed the palm-sized birthmark on her spine at a glance.
Bei Yutang put the clothes back on her and asked, "Where are you from?"
"People from five counties." Xiuhong replied subconsciously.
"What was your name before?" Bei Yutang continued to ask.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Just answer me."
Xiuhong, considering the thirty taels of silver, replied nonchalantly, "Daya."
It seems that I have found the right person. She is the daughter of coachman Zhang.
Now that his identity was confirmed, Bei Yutang didn't hesitate, "I'm entrusted by your father to redeem you."
"Where are the others?" Xiuhong asked.
Bei Yutang paused, "He passed away."
When Xiuhong heard the news, she was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on her face. "Good death."
Bei Yutang looked at her in surprise.
Xiuhong noticed her gaze, a sneer appeared on her lips, and she whispered, "Aren't you going to ask me why I said that? Aren't you curious?"
Bei Yutang didn't want to know.
Xiuhong didn't even think about asking her to respond, and continued to herself, "My mother died when I was five, and the following year he married a stepmother. They say if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather, and that's absolutely true."
"My biological father sold me to pay for his precious son's medical treatment. If I hadn't accidentally cut my face, I'd probably be living in a prostitution business right now."
"Now he is pretending to atone for his sins and asking me to go back. Is he trying to make amends? Or has his daughter-in-law and son kicked him out of the house?" Xiuhong speculated about driver Zhang with the greatest malice.
