When the old eunuch appeared again, he brought more than a dozen girls to come. After receiving the reward, he was more motivated to do things. When all the girls lined up, the old eunuch came over and said respectfully to Chen Xi:

"Mr. Marquis, this is the Jiangbei maid you want, far less than the ones just now... If you like it, you can take the person away with a real price..."

"Although this Jiangbei girl is not good-looking, she usually has the strength to work. But no matter how capable she is, the price you give is enough to hire a few strong laborers. There is no need to come here to buy a coarse girl."

"What's your business?"

Peng Yu shouted, "Don't be too long-winded, hurry up and introduce the people one by one. What the Marquis wants is a girl from a wealthy family."

The old eunuch began to introduce it, but after a while, there was no "Suian".

Moreover, among the whole page of Henan women, except for the people who were cut off, only "Sui'an" did not show up.

Chen Xi pointed to the book and asked, "Why is this girl named Sui'an not among them?"

The old eunuch frowned and said impatiently: "Mr. Marquis, you can choose someone. Why do you ask about irrelevant things?"

Peng Yu said angrily: "If you think of you, do you still want to hide it? The Marquis said he would want anyone he wanted. You clearly hid the good guy!"

The old eunuch shook his hand: "What a good guy? In fact, he is just a ignorant little girl. Since he came here, he has been making trouble and not working hard. He just thought about running away. I don't know how many times he has been beaten... It's winter now, and the girl's body is green and purple, and she can't be seen at all, so she was locked in the woodshed and was not brought out this time."

Chen Xi frowned, but he didn't expect that "Sui'an" would suffer so much after entering the Jiaofangsi.

Chen Xi saw that one of the row of girls in front, about twelve or thirteen years old, looked like he was moving, and he wanted to speak but stopped. He immediately walked over and asked, "Do you know Sui'an?"

The girl lowered her head and did not dare to answer. Peng Yu shouted sternly: "You're dumb? Just answer if you ask me!"

The girl stuttered: "Know."

"She... is often beaten, so she didn't come out to see anyone?" Chen Xi asked.

The old eunuch said flatly: "Mr. Marquis, don't you believe what I said? Why do you have to prove it with a lowly girl?"

"I believe you, a big-headed ghost." Peng Yu said angrily, "The Marquis asked, what does it have to do with you? This is a business, not a favor, you stand aside!"

The old eunuch stepped aside in disappointment, but saw the girl questioned by Chen Xi and replied in a shy tone: "I... have a good relationship with her. She is often beaten, starved and frozen, and is now locked in a woodshed... She has not been able to escape several times..."

The old eunuch said, "Hello Marquis and Mr. Peng heard it? That girl was beaten because of private escape. This is not a fool of the old slave. She is not like a fool. She should stop watching it, right? The wound on her body... is simply creepy!"

Chen Xi turned around and looked at the old eunuch with disgusting eyes: "I have always been stubborn in doing things. The more I don't want me to see it, the more I want to see it... If this lady from a wealthy family doesn't even have a personality at all, what can I buy it?"

"Hey!"

When the old eunuch heard this, his tone increased by octave and made a tsk sound in his mouth, "Your master is really rare in the world. You don't want this whole person, but you want a person covered in bruises. You want to find someone who can resist beating, right?"

Peng Yu understood Chen Xi's meaning, and if he didn't bargain, he would definitely arouse suspicion.

Someone who is unpopular in the girl came to redeem it, and there must be hidden information. People from the Jiaofangsi will definitely feel suspicious and doubt whether it is related to the girl's origin and background. This world is difficult, and many people use any means for their own benefit, and may use the opportunity to blackmail the matter by tracing things.

No matter from which perspective, the old eunuchs start prices.

Peng Yu went over to argue with the old eunuch again, but Chen Xi ignored it and looked at the little girl who stood not far away and lowered her head and said nothing. At this time, the closest one to "Sui'an" was the girl who had previously introduced the situation of "Sui'an" to Chen Xi.

The girl was very considerate and saw Chen Xi’s concern for "Sui'an", and now she insisted on buying people away. Chen Xi was a type of owner who was ready to be sold at any time, and she wanted to be bought together through her relationship with "Sui'an".

After a while, the old eunuch came with Peng Yu. The old eunuch said with a smile: "This marquis, you are the one who is not short of money at first sight. Since you have a crush on the girl "Sui'an", then be more comfortable and buy someone at the price I offered. If you refuse, you can't do this business."

Chen Xi knew that the old eunuch took retreat as advance, and the threat was obvious.

Chen Xi pointed to the girl next to Sui'an and said, "This girl looks pretty good."

The old eunuch was sure that the "marquis" in front of him came for "Suan", but now he saw that the other party was also interested in the girl next to him, and was a little surprised and didn't know how to take the lead.

Peng Yu asked with the opportunity: "How many taels of silver can this girl be taken away?"

"Master Peng, you are... making it difficult for me to do it. Why don't you... go to talk to the people above to discuss business? I won't talk too much to you."

Perhaps the old eunuch realized that things were unusual and began to back off.

Just as the old eunuch was about to take away all the girls he brought, Yunliu and Xier blocked him, and the old eunuch shouted: "This is the government office, what are you doing?"

Xier drew out her sword and gestured at the old eunuch. Yun Liu next to her showed the Dongchang waist sign to the old eunuch, and the old eunuch's face changed instantly.

Chen Xi shouted coldly and asked, "Why, you don't want to do business anymore?"

"Masters, you guys are...hey, how dare you make things difficult for a villain to keep on making things difficult for you?"

The old eunuch was extremely nervous. At first, he thought it was a rich man who came to buy a concubine, but later he decided that it was "Sui'an" relatives and friends who came to redeem the people. At this time, he saw the Dongchang waist brand, and his thoughts changed again. He felt that the matter might be related to the factory guard's investigation of the case, and the young man in front of him was quite famous.

Peng Yu said angrily: "Old Camp, I have told you a long time ago that this marquis is not easy to mess with. You dare to raise the price on the ground. You are clearly digging your own grave! Believe it or not..."

While speaking, Peng Yu also put his hand on the knife handle with a long knife around his waist.

The old eunuch shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Well, since that's the case, let's be more honest. Sui'an, a girl who is ignorant, can take away twenty taels of silver. As for the girl Dongxi... I'll take away two of them in total fifty taels. Are you okay with that guy?"

Yunliu and Xier both looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi thought for a while and nodded slightly: "It's appropriate to buy two girls in fifty taels. Brother Peng, you'll make the difference, give it money first."

Chen Xi said again: "Do you remember me? I saw you when I was a child."

"Um!?"

The girl listened for a long time and only this sentence was understood.

The person in front of me seemed to say that he was an old acquaintance with her.

According to Chen Xi's observation, the girl obviously didn't remember him and thought to herself: "In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, I was just a sixteen-year-old boy. I was still in adolescence and was changing my voice. Even if the girl had heard me speak at that time, it would be difficult for her to remember..."

Chen Xi asked again: "Do you know how your mother died?"

The girl finally looked up at Chen Xi tentatively, then shook her head. It was obvious that her mother was not present when she was burned to death, so she didn't know the specific situation. She only knew that she would never meet again after parting with her mother.

"It seems that you can understand what I say, there is no need to be afraid. I know your parents. This time I come to rescue you..."

Speaking of this, Chen Xi felt so sad that he remained silent the next time.

...

...

Chen Xi originally wanted to take the girl home and let her stay in Shen's house, at least accept her as her adopted sister or adopted daughter, and live a normal life.

But because the girl's background was too complicated, Chen Xi didn't know how to explain the origin of the girl to her family.

After thinking about it, Chen Xi decided to take the girl to meet someone. He believed that this person could definitely give the girl the same warmth as the girl's mother, that was Hui Niang.

He didn't intend to hide anything in this matter.

Hui Niang had asked about the fire before, and Chen Xi explained that she had found a dead person to replace her. Although Hui Niang didn't say anything at the time, with Hui Niang's wisdom, she obviously thought that there was a secret behind her.

Chen Xi asked Peng Yu to follow Yun Liu and Xier to leave, preparing to let Peng Yu do things under Yun Liu's men and be on call.

After that, Chen Xi personally took Sui'an and Dongxi to Huiniang's residence.

"I'll go in and take a look. You're waiting here, without giving any instructions, don't run around."

The carriage was parked in the yard, and Chen Xi led the two girls out of the car and said something to Sui An. He saw that Dongxi knew the rules very well, but Sui An had the possibility of private escape, but there was someone guarding him at the door, so the girl couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

It happened that Hui Niang and Li Jin came out of the inner courtyard. Hui Niang looked at her slightly and asked curiously: "Master, why are you bringing two girls here?"

Chen Xidao, "Hui Niang, I have something to tell you... Jin'er, please avoid it for the time being, this matter has nothing to do with you."
