Chapter 233 Dark Cloud Pearl & New Moon (15)

Seeing how tough he was, the playboy looked him up and down, pointed at him and shouted, "Just wait for me! If I meet you again, you'll be in trouble! Humph, let's go!" His two followers waved their fists at Jiyuan in protest and then trotted after him.

The people watching the excitement around knew that there was no more show to watch, so they gradually dispersed and went about their own business. Jiyuan shook his head and looked at the woman hiding behind him. He was stunned for a moment. He was only concerned with saving people before and didn't pay attention to her. Now he realized that the woman was very good-looking, with a pair of watery eyes that seemed to be able to speak. No wonder the man would rob the woman.

He clenched his fist and covered his lips uncomfortably, coughing twice, "That, girl, the bad guy has left, girl, please be careful in the future, I'll take my leave first."

Ji Yuan turned around and took two steps, and suddenly heard the sobbing of the woman behind him. Looking back, he saw the woman in white kneeling on the ground with her head down and crying softly. When he saw the body wrapped in a straw mat behind her, he realized that the woman was selling herself to bury her father.

He slapped his forehead, took out a piece of silver from his purse, squatted in front of the woman, and said apologetically: "Sorry, girl, take this money, do you have any relatives?"

The woman took the silver and shook her head, saying softly: "My father and I depend on each other for life, and now I am the only one left. Thank you for your help today, and please tell me your name. After I bury my father, I will go to find you and work hard for you."

"No, no!" Ji Yuan waved his hand quickly. Seeing that she was struggling to move the body, he immediately called the servant to help, "Let us help you bury the old man, you are alone It's not convenient for the girl to go home."

After Ji Yuan helped the girl bury her father, it was already dark. Ji Yuan kindly asked, "Where do you live, girl? I'll take you back. It's not safe if you go any later."

The girl fell to her knees and cried, "I'm homeless. Since you bought me, I belong to you. Please take me in."

"Hey?" Ji Yuan hurriedly tried to pull her up, but the girl knelt on the ground and begged him desperately. He turned around twice in a hurry. He didn't know what to do. Finally, he had no choice but to take her back to the general's mansion.

Yan Ji frowned as she looked at the girl and asked, "What's your name? What are you doing in Beijing?"

The woman in white answered uneasily, "My name is Ling'er. There was a flood in my hometown, so my father and I came to Beijing to look for our relatives. But when we got there, we found that our relatives had already moved away. My father had spent all his money on medical treatment. I had no choice but to sell myself to bury him. Fortunately, you helped me, so that my father could rest in peace. Ling'er is willing to work like a cow and a horse to repay you."

Ji Yuan saw Yan Ji's stern face, as if she was interrogating him, and hurriedly said, "Mother, This girl is homeless now, which is really pitiful. It is better to let her live in our house temporarily, and then see how to arrange it more appropriately in the future. "

Ling'er raised her head and looked at Jiyuan sincerely and said: "Young Master, you saved Ling'er's life. Ling'er just wants to repay you well. Let Ling'er be a little maid by your side, otherwise Ling'er will not be at ease. "

After all, Yan Ji has experienced more things, and she saw at a glance that Ling'er wanted to climb up the social ladder. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly Li Ma behind Luo Lin took two steps forward and whispered a few words in her ear. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiyuan and Ling'er again, and smiled: "Jiyuan, in this case, let Ling'er be a maid in your yard, according to the rules of the head maid. It's not early today, you should go to rest first. "

Although Jiyuan felt that it was not good to let Ling'er serve people as a maid, he was also afraid that Yan Ji would not want to keep Ling'er. It would not be good to let a girl sleep on the street, so he nodded and took Ling'er back to his yard.

After they left, Yan Ji looked at Li Ma Ma and asked, "Is this okay? Will there be any trouble?"

Li Ma Ma replied respectfully, "Fujin, don't worry. This is the general's mansion after all. As long as the contract of selling her body is signed, what waves can a little girl make? Even if she becomes the master's concubine or concubine in the future, she will only play tricks and will not hurt the master."

Yan Ji thought about it for a while and felt that her son was old enough and it was difficult to teach him about this. She could only use this method to let Ji Yuan see through it slowly. Anyway, it was in her own mansion and nothing would happen. So she let go and only asked Gan Zhu to check whether Ling'er's identity was true.

Ling'er was arranged by Xiaozhuang, so Yan Ji naturally couldn't find out anything. Since Ling'er became Ji Yuan's maid, she has been careful in everything and took care of Ji Yuan's food, clothing and daily life. When Ji Yuan was reading in the study, she could even discuss a few words about the content of the book with Ji Yuan, which surprised Ji Yuan very much and made him like to bring her around more and more.

Love grows over time, and there is a reason why many men take their personal maids as concubines. It was the first time that Jiyuan fell in love with someone, and he felt that every memory between the two was full of sweetness. Except for the time he was on duty in the military camp, he was almost always with Ling'er, day after day.

On Ling'er's birthday, Jiyuan swapped shifts with others and took out the hairpins he had ordered early from the store to give Ling'er a surprise. He decided to tell his mother about marrying Ling'er today, and Ling'er would be as happy as he was. He walked excitedly to the general's mansion, and in order to save time, he took a small road to get home quickly.

"Why are you so troublesome? I told you not to come to me!"

Ji Yuan walked to the corner of the back door and suddenly froze. It was Ling'er's voice. He couldn't have heard it wrong, but who was Ling'er talking to? Why was she in such an attitude? Just as he was wondering, another male voice came from the other side, the voice was sharp and piercing, which made people uncomfortable.

"Hey! Are you climbing up the ladder and don't like me? Humph, don't forget who you are. You are just a prostitute from a brothel. Do you really think you are so noble? Bah!"

"You! If you keep talking nonsense here, don't blame me for being rude! Get out of here quickly if you know what's good for you. If the people in the general's mansion find you, you can wait to go to jail!"

Ji Yuan listened to their quarrel, and his brain buzzed. He just felt that he couldn't understand what they meant. How could Ling'er be a prostitute? When did Ling'er become so strong? He closed his eyes gently, comforting himself that maybe he heard it wrong.

The two people over there were still arguing. They seemed to think that the surroundings were relatively secluded and would not be discovered, so they didn't pay much attention to what they said. Ji Yuan moved his legs that felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, leaned against the wall and poked his head out to look over there. The woman with a frown and an impatient face was his beloved Ling'er!

Ling'er didn't feel weak at all at this moment. She wasn't timid at all when facing a man taller than her. She even pointed at him when she was angry. The fierceness in her eyes made him unable to deceive himself anymore. Ling'er had deceived him! The well-educated and gentle Ling'er he knew was all her pretending!

The man got impatient after arguing for a while and threatened directly: "You got a dead old man from us as your father, do you think we have no evidence? Let me tell you, I don't care if you set a trap to climb up the social ladder, but if you don't even want to share the benefits, the brothers will not accept it."

Ling'er widened her eyes and shouted: "Evidence? What evidence? It's just a dead man..."

The man waved his hand, too lazy to listen to her anymore, and began to speak impolitely, "Stop talking nonsense! Are you playing me for a fool? I got you a corpse for nothing and didn't leave any evidence? Hurry up, I'm not lucky recently, give me some silver to change my luck."

Ling'er took a step back, "Didn't I give you silver last month? That's half of what I earned from selling my body, what else do you want? How about that? Don't come to me anymore, we are even now!"

"We are even now? You wish! You also said that you sold your body for half of the money, so why did you give it to beggars? But I heard that you are doing well now? That fool was fooled by you, he was really infatuated!"

"I am still a maid now, how much money can a maid have? When I become a master, I will give you some money. Remember, we will be even by then, and you are not allowed to come to me anymore!"

The man looked her up and down, with a wretched look on his face, "It's okay if you don't have money, why don't you play with me and let me see what you are capable of, how can you hook that fool!" As he said that, he was about to step forward and pull Ling'er's hand.

Ling'er was startled and ran behind a nearby tree, hiding from him while shouting, "Don't come over here! I'm a prostitute, I've never sold my body, if you dare to touch me I'll scream!"

Jiyuan looked at the scenes in front of him and listened to their dirty words. He felt that he was just like the man said, a big fool! He clenched his fists, rushed over when the man grabbed Ling'er's sleeve, and hit the man hard in the stomach.

Ling'er screamed, and when she saw that it was Jiyuan, she was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.

The man didn't expect someone to come, and was held down by Jiyuan and beaten severely. After finally catching an opportunity, he pushed Jiyuan away and ran away.

Jiyuan chased for a few steps but didn't catch up. He turned his head to look at Ling'er and strode towards the general's mansion.

Ling'er reacted, crawling and grabbing Jiyuan's clothes, crying: "Master, you misunderstood, I don't know him at all. He said he was my fellow villager, so I came out to see him, but before we could say a few words, he wanted to do something bad to me... to me, Master..."

Jiyuan lowered his head slightly and looked at her tearful face. She cried very aggrievedly, with a pitiful look. If he hadn't seen the previous scene, he would have believed it, right? Every time he saw her expression like this, he felt distressed and wanted to protect her, but now, he just felt chilled!

Thinking of the scenes from their first meeting to now, the old man wrapped in a straw mat, the playboy who teased her, the persistence of repaying the favor, the accomplice who came to collect debts...

Jiyuan felt that he was really a fool, and he actually wanted to marry her into the family, not as a concubine, but as a wife! He even thought of the rhetoric to confront his family. As long as there is true love, it doesn't matter about identity. Now, everything he did has become a joke, and the custom-made hairpin in his arms is the evidence of his stupidity.
