It’s really worth coming here today. They provide food and drinks and give us some gifts, which is great.
It seems that I will have to go out in the future. Opportunities are all outside. Can they still fall into my home?
She suddenly remembered something and frantically looked for the two maids. "Oh no! It's so late! My family must be looking for me! This is terrible!"
Jade Coral was locked up in the woodshed, along with several abducted children, both boys and girls. The oldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only five years old, and also the prettiest.
She has porcelain-white skin, long eyelashes, and beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but her expression is dull, a bit like a child pretending to be an adult.
"Go home, everyone. Don't trust others so easily. There will be no one to save you next time."
Zhao Letong let everyone go and found some silver on the woman and gave it to them so that they could hire a carriage and return home early.
Only the little boy didn't ask for money. He just looked at her coldly and said, "I don't want to go back."
"Where do you live?"
"I can't remember."
It's stupid for a child of this age not to remember his home. Zhao Letong felt a little disgusted.
Except for him, everyone else left. Zhao Letong was helpless: "Then follow me. I want to go home. Dad will spank you if you are late."
The little boy is dispensable. It's good enough if someone can take him in. The traffickers have to provide him with food. At worst, he can just be moved to another place.
Just as he was about to leave, Kidnapper No. 2 ran out and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Little Fairy, please take me with you. I was also forced by them to deceive people. I have never killed anyone. Please save me, okay?"
Zhao Letong looked at his face and saw that he had no evil spirit, but just a bad fate, and was destined to be an orphan.
"May I have your name?"
"My humble servant is Xue Ruilian. Everyone calls me Xiao Rui. I'm fine with you calling me that. I'm willing to sell myself to you as a slave. I'll run errands and do odd jobs, and I'll just provide you with food."
"Xue Ruilian? Your family is not an ordinary family, right? This name is very particular."
Xiao Rui said, "My grandfather died when I was born. My father died when I was five, and my mother remarried. My uncles and aunts in the clan said I had a hard life and would bring death to my relatives, so they kicked me out."
"They are right. You do have a tough life and are not kind to your family. But meeting me is your blessing. As long as you behave well and do good deeds, you can live a peaceful life as my servant."
Xiao Rui didn't expect that he was really lucky. He had always resented his uncles and aunts, thinking that they had embezzled his family property and were talking nonsense.
"It's true that your uncles wanted to seize your property. They stumbled upon it by mistake. Forget about what happened here. Buddhism still gives people a chance to lay down their butcher knives. I'm doing a good deed by accepting you as my son."
"Thank you, little fairy. I will be loyal and follow you."
"Don't call me that. I'm not a fairy."
She failed to pass the tribulation and is not yet a god. At most, she is a true lord.
Zhao Letong was very sad. It was so difficult to be a god.
There was a hint of sarcasm in the boy's eyes. He was playing tricks and speaking as if it were true, as if she really understood. Didn't he look at how old she was?
"Let's go back quickly. It's getting dark. Leave this place to my nephew."
Zhao Letong left quickly. There were four of them when he came out, and there were still four of them when he went back, but the extra two were picked up.
I didn't have time to question the boy and went home to deal with my father first.
Fortunately, Zhao Biao had an appointment today and came back late. Zhao Letong breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad isn't home, that's great."
"Where have you been, little aunt? You're so scared of Grandpa, have you done anything bad?"
Zhao Youning suddenly appeared, and the little aunt looked guilty. Where had he been?
My fifth nephew, why are you meddling in my aunt's affairs? You're just a kid, but you're meddling in her too much. Have you finished your homework?
If we don't mention homework, they are still aunt and nephew, but as soon as we mention it, they will become enemies.
Seeing the little boy's serious and dignified face, his back straight, full of imposingness, he looked around with a slightly disgusted expression.
"Who is this? Aunt, why are you looking for someone else to play with you instead of me, your nephew?"
"How can a dog I picked up outside compare to you? Give him a set of your clothes, give him a bath and some food. Just take care of him first."
Zhao Letong left the person to his fifth nephew and went to find Zhao Youping. The house was full of dead bodies and countless stolen money. This was also the credit of his eldest nephew.
Zhao Letong couldn't spend the money, so he asked his nephew to donate it to an orphanage, or buy rice porridge to give out outside the city, or give medicine or quilts to the poor, all of which could be used for charity.
All of these needed to be arranged by Zhao Youping. Zhao Letong kept his achievements and fame hidden, and was even more afraid that his father would find out and nag him again.
I'll keep a closer eye on her from now on, and she won't be able to go out and play on her own.
Xue Ruilian was also handed over to his fifth nephew, who took care of the little boy first.
"Hey, that guy, he hasn't asked your name yet? You don't even know your name, do you?"
The little boy frowned and said, "Xiao Shanjian."
"Xiaoshan, I'm fine. Have a good rest."
Little boy: “…”
This girl isn't very smart. Is there anyone who calls people like that?
"Xiaoshan, my aunt used to be silly, please don't mind. Don't you like me calling you Xiaoshan?"
Zhao Youning is eight years old. He is like a younger brother at home. He was brought back by my aunt, so I have to take good care of him and show my hospitality.
"Just call me Xiaoshan."
Xiao Shanjian was no longer worried. He felt a little hungry and wanted to eat something.
Everything outside is good, except the food. I’m so hungry!
Zhao Letong sent his servant to tell Zhao Youping to go home. Zhao Youping was still investigating Fang Jingru's case, but there had been no progress.
Over the past ten years, it has been difficult to find witnesses and evidence, but Chen Boyang handled it very cleanly.
Chen Xinyue was still a child at the time and didn't remember anything. Even if she beat the drum to protest her innocence, it would only alarm Chen Boyang. Without substantial evidence, it would be difficult to bring down a marquis.
"Aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Did the little aunt discover something? Zhao Youping no longer treated the little aunt as a child. Whose child could see ghosts?
My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much.
Zhao Letong ate the egg custard with a smile on her face, which made Zhao Youping feel nervous. "Auntie, are you in trouble?"
Zhao Letong rolled his eyes. "How could I, such a good person, get into trouble? I just busted a human traffickers' lair. Forget about trying to give you credit."
Zhao Youping was barely able to catch his breath, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. "No, aunt, did you really encounter a human trafficker?"
[Of course, but it's not certain who will be unlucky. If you arrange it this way...]
Zhao Letong had already arranged everything for him and had thought very carefully about how to deal with the money.
"That's certainly a lot of money. We can't give it all to the government, as it would enrich those corrupt officials. You can secretly donate it to the orphanage. Rob the rich to help the poor, do good deeds, and it will all be meritorious deeds for our Zhao family."
[Don't be so foolish as to offer it all up. How much of it will actually be used for the people?]
Zhao Youping wanted to say, he's not stupid, okay? Xiaogu is really something. She went out for an afternoon and busted a human traffickers' lair and killed everyone. Xiaogu seemed to be more powerful than he thought.
