Shengjing Noble

Chapter 165: Help you take revenge

Xiaoyu's eyes dodged, and then she lowered her head and said quietly: "I... I just accidentally dropped rat poison into the pot... I wanted to remind her... but..."

Su Lanyin finally saw different emotions on this child's face, a state of fear, helplessness and even despair.

Big tears fell down her face and she looked up at the sky in a daze, but a sad smile appeared on her dirty little face.

"But I was afraid of being beaten, so I didn't dare to tell anyone. It was a pot of freshly cooked porridge. If my mother knew that I dropped rat poison into it, she might beat me to death..."

As she spoke, her thin body began to tremble and she couldn't control her tears like a dam bursting.

Su Lanyin felt a dull pain in her heart. She reached out and hugged her, then said, "Don't be afraid. She's dead. No one will beat you anymore."

"Then brother, will you take me in?"

"Well, of course you can follow me, but..."

Fearing that she would say no, Xiaoyu immediately pleaded nervously: "I eat very little and can do a lot of work. I have been able to wash clothes and cook since I was a child. As long as you tell me to do it, I will do my best to complete it. I..."

"I have servants at home, you don't have to do these chores." Su Lanyin interrupted her.

When Xiaoyu heard this, the hope that had been burning in her eyes instantly shattered: "Brother doesn't need me..."

"Don't be sad. I'm not saying this because I don't want to take you in. I just have a better way."

"any solution?"

"You come with me."

"Ah."

When Su Lanyin pulled Xiaoyu back to the tea stall, A'mo had already come out of Zuixianlou opposite.

"Sir, I have been looking for you for a long time."

"How is it?"

Ah Mo looked embarrassed: "The other party said that the store is not short of manpower, so you may need to come in person, young lady."

"But if it's someone I send in, they will definitely be on guard."

"I see there are still some old people in the store. They must be Su Yongcheng's retainers. Maybe they are the ones who are causing trouble. Why don't you open a few doors, and then recruit more people so that I can get in easily?"

"That's an idea, but not today. I have more important things to do."

"What's the matter?" Ah Mo was puzzled, and then he noticed that she was holding a dirty little beggar in her hand, "Who is this child?"

"I picked him up. I felt sorry for him and wanted to take him home."

"The girl is kind-hearted, but...but what if the child's parents come looking for him..."

"So I need you to help me confirm one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Su Lanyin did not answer and then looked down at Xiaoyu and asked, "You said you don't remember where your hometown is, then do you remember where you were sold to?"

"I was sold to... I can't read, but I remember the way. It's over there!"

As he spoke, Xiaoyu led the two of them through several streets and arrived at the red-light district.

She pointed to a large plaque and said, "That's it! I took a special look at it when I was thrown out."

Su Lanyin looked up and saw the four big characters "国色天香".

She thought to herself: Isn’t this where Su Lanxin got into trouble last time?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a familiar figure walking out of the gate, and then got into a carriage with another man.

Ah Mo was surprised and whispered, "That person just now seemed to be Su Lanxin dressed as a man."

Su Lanyin gave him a look, and he immediately understood what she meant and followed the carriage, disappearing around the corner.

Xiaoyu was a little worried: "Brother, why did he leave? What do you want to tell him? Does he not want me anymore?"

This child is very smart, especially in terms of his ability to read people's expressions. This must be related to the fact that he was beaten when he was young.

So she squatted down, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, since I said you should follow me, I will not abandon you. I came here just to find out where you came from. If your father comes looking for you in the future and thinks I kidnapped you, I won't be able to explain it."

"My father...but I don't have a father."

"What if there is? Don't worry, I will take care of you."

With these words, Xiaoyu was finally relieved. She nodded and gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Su Lanyin pinched her face. This was the first time she saw Xiaoyu smile, and she looked quite cute.

"Come on, follow me..."

She was about to pull Xiaoyu towards Guose Tianxiang, but found that she couldn't pull him.

Looking back, Xiaoyu was holding on to the pillar next to him with his other hand and refused to let go, his eyes full of resistance and vigilance.

"don't want……"

She shook her head, looking frightened and very scared.

Su Lanyin sighed and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to them. If you don't trust me and can't cooperate, how can I bring you home?"

"Brother...I'm scared..."

"Did they beat you?"

Xiaoyu didn't answer but just nodded. The answer was self-evident.

Su Lanyin frowned. They were a bunch of beasts who could even beat such a young child.

"I'll help you get revenge, okay?"

"revenge?"

"Well, let's go."

Xiaoyu had a confused look on his face, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already followed Su Lanyin to the entrance of Guose Tianxiang.

When the girl inside saw that she was well-dressed and made of expensive fabrics, she immediately went up to greet her with a smile on her face.

But when he was halfway there, he noticed a little beggar next to him. When he looked closely, he found his face familiar. After he realized what was happening, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.

Seeing this, the servant next to her immediately stepped forward, blocked Su Lanyin's way and started to question her.

"Who are you? What are you doing here with a little beggar in our beautiful country?"

Su Lanyin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly took out a silver ingot.

The boy's eyes lit up instantly, and the girl who had a gloomy face just now changed her expression again like flipping a book.

"Oh, sir, please come in!"

Su Lanyin did not go in, but looked at them and said, "Ask your manager to come see me, and the silver will be yours."

The servant and the girl looked at each other and nodded immediately.

"Okay, you sit here and wait for a while, I'll go find someone right away."

After saying that, the boy turned and ran to the backyard, while the girl who was dressed up beautifully stayed to receive and take care of them.

After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man with a beard walked out from the backyard.

He looked very tall and strong, and each step he took was particularly weighty. He came in front of Su Lanyin and looked down at her and Xiaoyu.

"You two are the ones who want to see the steward?"

Xiaoyu was extremely scared. She hid behind Su Lanyin, clutching her sleeves tightly with her little hands, and her whole body was shaking even more violently than before.

"it's me."

Su Lanyin stood up. Although she was not as tall as the man in front of her, she was not inferior in imposing manner.

She was calm and composed, and said in a cold voice, "Are you the one in charge?"

Others called this tall man Tiger Lord. He narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "I am. Tell me, what's the matter!"
