The servant next to him paused when he heard this, but he looked at Xu Miaomiao before continuing, "Okay, lady, what is your name?"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes turned, and she was silent for a while before she spoke: "My name is Xu Miao."
The man nodded when he heard this, and immediately walked to the side, took out a small booklet, and began to look through it carefully. There were one page, two pages, and three pages. Xu Miaomiao could no longer remember how many pages there were, and she didn't know if all the people in the book were the ones who participated in the fruit poisoning. The man checked it, looked at Xu Miaomiao's appearance, and said, "Your name is not missing from this booklet. What exactly does this lady want to do?"
Xu Miaomiao sighed when she heard this and almost fell to the ground, but was kindly supported by a servant beside her. Xu Miaomiao then began to complain about her suffering: "My family used to run a small business, but we offended the county magistrate of Bai County. Later, our family fell into poverty and my husband, parents and children all died. Now I can only go to the capital to live alone. After all, everyone in Bai County knows about our family's affairs, so no matter what, I can't stay here anymore. So please, sir, think of a way for me. Now I have no money and there is really no way for me to go to the capital."
Xu Miaomiao pretended to be pitiful, forced out two tears, and looked at the man in front of her with grievance.
Seeing him like this, the man's brows relaxed slightly, he looked at Xu Miaomiao, sighed, and then continued: "In this case, what kind of livelihood can be found in the capital? It's probably not easy for a woman with a child to do it."
Xu Miaomiao sighed and continued, "I just heard that most women go to the capital these days, and I thought there was some new policy in the capital, so I wanted to make some money along with them. Who knew it would be like this? I'm sorry to bother this husband."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she turned around and staggered away with the child in her arms.
He clearly felt a burning gaze staring at him, looking him over from head to toe. As expected, as soon as Xu Miaomiao walked out of the store, he was immediately caught up by a man. The man looked him up and down, then he said, "My wife, how old is the child in your arms?"
Xu Miaomiao sighed: "Less than a month."
"How can a woman live a good life with a child?"
Xu Miaomiao hesitated for a while before continuing, "My husband, you don't know that this child is not my own, but my husband's concubine. Since this is the only bloodline in the family, he gave it to me and brought me out. But if I, a woman, go to the capital, it would be fine if I were alone, but with such a burden, how can I live a safe life?"
Hearing this, the man's brows relaxed, and he ignored Xu Miaomiao and went back to the house. After a while, several ladies holding children caught up with him. When they saw Xu Miaomiao, they said, "Madam, we have just heard about your suffering. Why don't you do some business with us and make some money?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she raised her eyebrows, but was secretly happy in her heart. Is the fish finally going to take the bait?
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately relaxed his guard, looked at the woman with gratitude, and almost knelt on the ground before he spoke: "This lady has been so kind to me, I really have no way to repay her. If I have the chance, I will definitely thank you ladies for your kindness."
The women looked at each other and pulled him to a corner. Then they continued, "It's just that we may need your child for this job."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao held Xu Nianmiao's hand even tighter, but still with a bit of evil on her face, she said, "To be honest, this is the child my husband gave you from my concubine. I can't get pregnant in this lifetime, so I saved him because he's the only bloodline in the family. But now I can't even survive, how can I take care of him?"
When the woman heard this, they looked at each other and pulled Xu Miaomiao to the back room.
I saw a man in black wearing a black cloak, with his face covered tightly. Seeing this, the woman said, "My dear husband, please save this woman. Her life is really pitiful. All her family members have died and she is the only one left. Let her join us in this business, so that she can barely support her family."
Hearing this, the black figure slowly turned around. He was still wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly. He just felt vaguely that he seemed to have seen these eyes before. Sure enough, the moment the man saw Xu Miaomiao, his expression paused. He opened his eyes a little, but in a moment he regained his indifferent expression, looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued to say, "Where are you from?"
Xu Miaomiao immediately knelt down on the ground, as low as she could, and then continued to speak: "My dear sir, I am originally from Bai County, and my family is relatively stable, but who would have thought that I would offend the county magistrate, so I ended up like this."
Sure enough, the man heard this and moved slightly every day, holding the sword in his hand and holding Xu Miaomiao's chin. I said: "You, a woman, are actually pretty good looking! You want to join us."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she hesitated for a moment, but raised her eyes to look at him, then changed to a look of joy and immediately said, "Of course I want to. I am willing to do anything to make money and keep myself alive. Please, sir, save me, save me!"
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's eager look, the man actually laughed. Xu Miaomiao always felt that this late night was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it. If this fruit poison was still related to Liang State, then was Yu Huaijin also involved? Xu Miaomiao had a bold idea and started from there, but after all, there was still no evidence, and everything had to be confirmed at that time.
"Mei Niang." The man spoke softly in a low voice, and the woman next to him immediately came over, knelt on the ground and bowed to the man: "This lady also wants to join us. Take her and teach her the rules."
"Yes, sir." After saying this, Mei Niang turned her eyes to Xu Miaomiao and said, "What are you still doing there? Come with me now, sir?"
"Yes, this lady."
