"Madam Peony, Madam Peony."
Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and helped the woman up.
When she saw Xu Miaomiao, the woman gathered her clothes and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Why are you here? Shaoyao came here for you, not for you to deliver yourself."
Staring at Lady Shaoyao not far away, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "I'm here to save you."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Mudan finally came to her senses. She looked at the large group of bandits around her and said, "You did this."
"I told you before, I'm studying medicine."
Xu Miaomiao responded to Mudan's words, walked to the side, and immediately helped the fainted Mudan up: "Now is not the time to talk, let's get on the boat and leave quickly."
Mudan nodded, supported Shaoyao behind Xu Miaomiao, and followed her to open the door outside.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Miaomiao coming back with Shaoyao and Mudan.
"Lower the boats and get on board. Do not send out business or take any valuables. Saving your life is the most important thing."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, everyone began to walk outside in an orderly manner. Shaoyao helped Mudan get on the boat together.
Only after knowing that the last person had gotten off the boat did Xu Miaomiao take Xu Xi's hand and leave.
It was not until they had rowed a certain distance that everyone's tense mood finally relaxed.
"I knew that we were blessed with good fortune, and that we would be able to turn misfortune into fortune. I just took it out."
"Yes, but I have to thank Madam Xu. Without your medicine, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to get out."
"Nothing." Xu Miaomiao responded. She really didn't have time to chat. She only estimated the size of these bandits, so the drug she gave them might not be accurate. These people might wake up at any time. They had to leave quickly: "Everyone should row quickly. They may catch up at any time."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, everyone dared not to carry on and started rowing hard.
Feeling her sleeve being tugged, Xu Miaomiao turned her head and looked at Xu Xi: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xi pointed to the side of the boat, and Xu Miaomiao realized that the boat was sinking.
There were only four boats, and each boat had only four people on it, barely able to glide. Seeing it sinking, Xu Miaomiao immediately checked it out, found the small hole, and used her hands to sprinkle water out continuously: "No, Madam Lily, throw your box down quickly."
Xu Miaomiao spoke anxiously to the woman in front of her.
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Lily hugged the box in her arms even tighter. Seeing her like this, the people around her couldn't bear it anymore.
Peony: "Lily, please throw the box away. Are these things more important than life?"
"Of course!"
Lily suddenly lost control of her emotions. She looked at the people in front of her and said in retort: "I have saved these things my whole life. Soon, as long as I take this order, I can redeem myself. How can I give up?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Lily was different from them. They all came here voluntarily because they wanted to make some money and survive. But Lily was sold here by her parents. She was bought for only ten taels of silver, which was just the cost of entertaining one person. Her wish was to leave here and live a normal life. They had no reason to stop her.
Seeing more and more water on the boat, Lily burst into tears: "May it be God's will, Madam Xu, I won't let you down."
"What are you going to do?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, the woman fell backwards and her body fell into the river.
"lily!"
Xu Miaomiao exclaimed and quickly grabbed Lily's hand.
But the box in the woman's hand sank by itself: "Mrs. Xu, please let go. My box is sinking. I will die here too. I won't leave."
"I won't let you die."
Xu Miaomiao pulled the woman, struggling in the river: "It's just redemption, I'll give you any amount of money."
Hearing this, Lily was suddenly stunned.
Seeing that her desire to die was weakening, Xu Miaomiao said anxiously: "Don't you know that I am Xu Miaomiao, and I opened the department store. We used to cooperate with the court. Even if you don't believe me, my son's master is Nangong Jin, Nangong Jin, the number one husband in the South Country, he owes me a life-saving grace, don't you still believe him?"
There was no time to think about it. As long as the person in front of her could survive, Xu Miaomiao didn't care about anything else.
The woman no longer begged for death and stopped struggling, so Xu Miaomiao and Xu Xi pulled her up.
Without the heavy box, the boat felt much lighter.
Lily hid nearby and shivered constantly. Xu Miaomiao took off her running clothes and started rowing non-stop.
"Madam Xu, I didn't expect you to have such an identity. No wonder you are so powerful and also have medical skills. I have never heard of a woman doing business except for Fourteenth Lady."
Shaoyao, who was standing by, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said jokingly.
"Then Madam Shaoyao, you must remember my name, because this name will be resounding in the Southland in the future."
"good!"
Seeing what the two said, Lily on the side slowly spoke: "Xu, Madam Xu, do you still mean what you said just now?"
"Of course it counts."
Xu Miaomiao slowly felt her body. Fortunately, Gu Yuanniang had given her a lot of banknotes when she left. These things were light, so she kept them all with her.
"How much does it cost to redeem yourself?"
"Two, two hundred taels."
After taking it out from her bosom and searching through it, Xu Miaomiao immediately held her forehead with her hand. This Gu Yuanniang gave her two thousand taels of silver. Did she leave all the family fortune on her?
The department store only makes a hundred taels a month...
"I only have one thousand taels here. I'll go to the bank and pay you back when we get to shore."
"One thousand taels? Madam Xu, I thought you were rich, but I never thought you were this rich."
Shaoyao said in surprise, but Xu Miaomiao did not speak, instead she looked at the people in front of her and said, "I was the one who asked you to lose the box a few days ago. If any of you want to redeem yourself, come to me and I will help you."
What Xu Miaomiao said was very tempting, but everyone only had a flash of hope in their eyes before being swallowed up.
"No, Madam Xu, we all make money from this, and we can't go anywhere if we leave here." Shaoyao said from the side.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Madam Xu."
The flash of hope in their eyes was accurately captured by Xu Miaomiao. She felt heartbroken and said to everyone solemnly: "I don't have such great ability now, but if I can stand out in the future and become famous, I will never forget the sisters today. At that time, I will let you come to my place and I will provide you with food and accommodation!"
