The woman looked to be about the same age as Jiang Si. Her coarse clothes could not hide her fair skin. Her oval face, which was the size of a palm, could not be called beautiful, but her youth was her best asset. Anyone who saw her would think she was a lovely girl.

At this time, the slap marks on the fair face of this lovely little girl were red and swollen, making her look even more pitiful.

Jiang Yi was a kind-hearted person. When the girl hugged her and begged her, a hint of pity immediately appeared in her eyes.

Jiang Si stared at the girl on the ground expressionlessly, feeling relieved that the dust had finally settled in his heart.

She was glad that the clue she had been looking for appeared right before her. This girl should be the person that her elder sister mentioned in her previous life that should not be saved!

Then, the eldest sister should agree to the girl's request soon.

At this moment, Jiang seemed a little hesitant.

It is not difficult to stop the eldest sister from rescuing the girl, but it is unknown what happened during the period when the eldest sister fell into such a desperate situation in the previous life, and it is also unknown what role the eldest sister mentioned that the person who should not be rescued played.

She is now driving the girl away from her elder sister. What if someone else approaches her elder sister in an even more unexpected way?

It was a deliberate and unintentional move that made it impossible to guard against.

In this case, it seems better not to prevent the girl from being rescued by the elder sister, at least there is a clear target to keep an eye on. From now on, whether the girl framed the elder sister for personal purposes or there is someone behind it, there will be traces to follow.

"Get up for me!" The big man grabbed the girl like a chicken.

The girl panicked and hid behind Jiang Yi.

The man was tall and strong, with a face full of flesh. Jiang Yi was a little panicked when she saw him.

Zhu Ziyu stretched out his hand to stop the big man: "If you have anything to say, please talk to me politely. Don't scare my wife."

The big man looked at Zhu Ziyu with his eyes rolling around and sneered, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This little girl's brother owes me twenty taels of silver. He said he used his sister to pay off the debt."

At this point, the big man pulled the girl out and pushed her around for everyone to see: "Look, everyone. With this little girl's looks, I can buy three of them for twenty taels of silver. It's already a great mercy that you agreed to use her as collateral for the debt..."

The girl struggled desperately with tears in her eyes: "Let me go. My brother owes you money, so go find him. What right does he have to use me as collateral?"

The big man slapped her again and said, "Girl, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your bad luck. It's your fault that you lost both your parents. Your brother is using you as collateral for his debts. From now on, you are our lover. If you try to run away again, we will throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

"I don't want to. I would rather die than get on a boat. Madam, please save me..."

Jiang Yi bit her lip, very hesitant.

Normally, if she met such a poor girl, she would help her without hesitation, but today, because the fourth sister reported to the police in a panic, she has brought a lot of trouble to the Zhu family...

But Jiang Yi couldn't bear to turn a blind eye to the girl's desperate pleas, and she subconsciously looked at Zhu Ziyu.

At this time, Jiang Si was also quietly observing Zhu Ziyu's expression.

First the carriage lost control, then the girl cried for help. She was certain that the former was man-made, but as to whether the latter was related to Zhu Ziyu, she needed to wait and see.

Zhu Ziyu comforted Jiang Yi and held her hand, saying softly, "You decide."

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered in his heart.

Zhu Ziyu's words sounded high-sounding, and he respected his elder sister's opinions at all times, but in fact, he was well aware of his elder sister's soft-hearted nature.

In other words, if Zhu Ziyu did not stop it, it meant that he was happy to see the girl being rescued by her elder sister.

However——Jiang Si glanced at Zhu Ziyu and decided to confirm it again.

"In that case, then——"

"Wait." Jiang Si interrupted Jiang Yi directly.

Jiang Yi looked at her sister in confusion, and Zhu Ziyu cast the same gaze her way.

Jiang Si took a step forward and stood in front of the big man.

The big man was stunned at first, and then smiled maliciously: "Why, the young lady wants to stand up for her——"

"Stop talking nonsense. Is this enough?" Jiang Si handed over a few golden beads.

Seeing the big man was stunned for a moment, Jiang Si asked impatiently: "Isn't this worth twenty taels of silver? Don't kid me, my uncle is an official in the government, and he hates those who cheat and deceive the most."

The big man's eyes rolled around and he glanced at Zhu Ziyu subconsciously.

He didn't do it very obviously at first, but Jiang seemed to be focusing on this, so he naturally noticed it immediately.

Jiang Si frowned immediately: "Is it not enough, or do you not want it? Just say it."

"That's enough..." the big man said, trying to suppress his embarrassment.

"You don't want it?" Jiang glanced at the girl with a smile, "Are you keeping her to compete for the Oiran in the future?"

The selection of the most beautiful lady in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, held every three years, is an event no less grand than the imperial examination in spring. It is held on the banks of the Jinshui River, and even little children would pick a flower and throw it to the beautiful ladies in their gorgeous costumes to amuse themselves.

After Jiang Si said this, the people watching the excitement couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The girl in distress could be considered pretty at best. Being a maid for the ladies or daughters of a wealthy family was not even outstanding. It would be ridiculous for her to compete for the title of the most beautiful courtesan.

The big man obviously understood this, and when asked by Jiang Si, he glanced at Zhu Ziyu again.

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows: "You are such a strange person. Just give me a straight answer whether you agree or not. Why do you always look at my brother-in-law? Are you responsible for finding a good home for this girl?"

Zhu Ziyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He wanted to refute it but was afraid that the more he explained, the worse it would be, so he just kept silent and secretly winked at Jiang Yi.

Only then did he realize that the somewhat aloof sister-in-law in his impression was constantly refreshing his perception of how difficult it was to cling to.

"Fourth sister, I have money here..."

"Big sister, this isn't a competition for treat or bill." Jiang Si stopped Jiang Yi from thinking, looking at the big man unhappily, "Let me ask you again if you want it or not. If not, then take the person away quickly. It has nothing to do with us in the first place."

"Yes, yes!" The big man took the golden beads with gritted teeth, turned around and left with his companions.

"Is there something you forgot to give me? Where's the indenture written to you by the girl's brother?"

The big man, with sweat on his forehead, stuffed a deed into Jiang Si's hand and left quickly.

Jiang Si stuffed the deed into the girl's hand and raised his lips slightly: "Sister, let's go."

Next, the girl should say that she could never repay the benefactor for saving her life and would serve him like a slave.

But this time she is the one who pays, so how should the girl act afterwards?

When Jiang Si thought of this, he was actually looking forward to the girl's performance.

As expected, the girl began to hesitate. She looked at Jiang Yi and then at Jiang Si. Finally, she quickly walked to Jiang Si, knelt down, and presented the deed paper to him with both hands: "I have no way of repaying you for your kindness. I am willing to serve you like a slave in the future..."

"Like a slave..." Jiang Si smiled, "But my family has plenty of slaves and horses. Besides, you can't do the work of slaves and horses, so stop talking nonsense."

The girl was stunned.

This is a little different from the lady from a noble family she had imagined!
