Xiao Yao glanced at the father and son of the Xiao family, and then looked at Madam Xu with surprise and panic: "Mom, what's going on?"

The second master of the Xiao family and the third master of Xiao didn't have to verify their true self when they saw Xiao Yao, so they believed that she was from their family because her face was somewhat similar to Mrs. Xiao. The second master had seen Xiao Yao.

When my grandmother was young, she felt that Xiao Yao was very similar to her grandmother.

But before they could be happy to determine Xiao Yao's identity, they found that Xiao Yao seemed to be quite dependent on the madam, but instead warned them of her, and her heart was very bitter.

This child, who was supposed to have grown up in the Hou Mansion and could not deal with a lowly family, had to rely on a madam. How could this not make them suffer?

Mr. Xiao Er thought of his daughter growing up in such a dusty place over the years, and his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his face and said to Madam Xu: "Tell me what you know, and I'll be happy to say it.

Girl, no word is allowed to be hidden."

Madam Xu was willing to bring two people to see Xiao Yao because she had been taught a lesson. She dared not to obey at this time. She immediately looked at Xiao Yao: "Ayao, these two people came with your contract to sell their bodies and say you

They are descendants of their escaped slaves, and they want to take you back."

Xiao Yao looked surprised: "Is this really the case?"

Mrs. Xu nodded: "There is a contract to sell your body and a document from the government. There is no possibility of falsehood." When she said this, she felt like she was suffering from an acute illness, her whole body was shaking, and her face and eyes were full of deep pain.

, "But, I have raised you for so many years and have long regarded you as my daughter. How could I bear to let you leave me..."

After she said that, she started to wail.

Mr. Xiao said coldly: "Since you have raised her for many years, we will give compensation. But you are a serious crime. Let's go to the government to discuss it clearly before discussing compensation? Then, buy it.

All you have is yours, and you can't say it, it's unknown if you've been kidnapped. Let's go to the government to make a clear statement."

"God, how can I be that bad-hearted kid? A Yao really bought it for money." Ah Yao flashed in his heart, but his face did not show any signs, and he shouted like a cut of flesh: "I

I don’t know that after Ayao was a fugitive slave, I bought Annu, and I also bought it with the money, and I went to the government to register."

Xiao Yao did buy it, but he bought it from a kidnapper. Many girls in the building were like this. If the two people in front of him really took her to the government, they would have been exposed.

Although she has been dealing with the government all year round, and has some connections and encounters small things, she will basically not have any trouble, but the two people in front of her are obviously not ordinary people. Not to mention that she can't afford to offend her, she is also the magistrate of the city's parents.

I can't afford to offend.

Mr. Xiao Er glanced at Xiao Yao, and anxious flashed in his heart. He looked at Mr. Xiao San and said, "She does not look like a bad person. Besides, she does raise her - ahem, after this escaped slave

It’s time to give some compensation for many years. You don’t have to say much, just give it to her.”

Mr. Xiao did not give the money immediately, but looked at Madam Xu: "It's nothing I can give you the money today, but if I ask me to find out the next day, you kidnapped the person, or you and my family.

It’s a matter of escaped slaves, I can’t spare you.”

Madam Xu kept saying "I dare not" and looked at Mr. Xiao with a gaze.

Mr. Xiao took out a few silver notes from his arms: "My first-class maid's monthly money is one tael of silver, and 130 taels in eleven years, plus clothes and chew them in one year, which will give you more than twice as much.

Some, 300 ounces are enough?"

Mrs. Xu heard only 300 taels, and her heart was almost bleeding, and she shouted: "How is these 300 taels enough? Over the years, I have invited my master to call Ayao to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but only food, clothing and expenses.

It’s like the official lady, how can I stop 300 taels?”

Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Then tell me, how much do you want?"

Madam Xu glanced at Xiao Yao and quickly became concerned.

Xiao Yaoruo combed it upstairs and could sell it for 5,000 taels that night. If she wanted to redeem herself, she would not sell it for less than 5,000 taels.

Thinking of this, Xu said, "I raised Ayao, not only taught her to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also felt like her mother and daughter. I really don't want to separate from her. But if she is your escaped slave, I can't do it.

If you force yourself to stay, at least give me some comfort. I don’t want much, let’s see, what is this number?"

She raised an index finger to Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Xiao San.

Mr. Xiao sneered: "You dare to open a thousand taels? No need to say more, let's go to the government to make a clear statement first. At that time, the government's Cheng Zhili prefect Cheng will be sentenced to the verdict. We will be absolutely fine!"

When Madam Xu heard that he had cut the price by 10 times in one breath, she could hardly breathe. When she heard that he refused to give him a thousand taels, she was almost so angry that she could not help but say, "Two,

I will train A Yao, and it will be more than this money."

Mr. Xiao said: "After the escape slaves, you don't need to teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all. You just learn how to learn how to do your family. Now you have taught you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and ask us to take you back as a lady or a waiter? We don't dislike you.

If you cause us trouble, you will come and take credit.”

Mr. Xiao, who had been silent, pondered for a moment and nodded, "It shouldn't be. If this is the case, we will not make things difficult for you and will not cause you to suffer losses. Now, let us first find Cheng Zhili and let Cheng Zhili judge according to the law.

We will give you as much money as we give you.”

Seeing these two people calling the names of the prefect Cheng, it was obvious that they had a lot of origins. In addition, she was indeed guilty, so how dare she meet the official? She looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Ayao, tell me, mom."

Have you been good to you over the years? Is it too much to charge a thousand taels?"

After hearing this, Master Xiao Er and Master Xiao San looked at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao knew that Madam Xu loved money as much as his life. If he gave too little, Madam Xu would hold a grudge and would inevitably cause bad things in the future. Moreover, Xia Zhiheng and Mr. Wu thought they were still in this brothel. If they were delayed too late, they would be called

They got involved. There might be something wrong with her leaving the brothel, so it is really not appropriate to delay any further. He said:

"Mom raised me for one, and it's not too much to give me a thousand taels. After leaving the building, I should learn to serve people by myself, and I will never make it difficult for both of you."

When Madam Xu heard Xiao Yao's words, she was so excited that she almost couldn't help but hug Xiao Yao and cry.

Finally someone spoke for her.

Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Yao: "I remember that your mother has raised me for raising me, and I have returned this kindness today." After that, he counted a thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Mrs. Xu.

Madam Xu took the silver note, her eyes rolled around and said with a smile: "So Ayao's mother was once the young master's wet nurse?"

"You shouldn't ask, you'd better not ask." After Mr. Xiao said that, he took out a contract, "Sign it, and then take her body contract. I'll take it to the government to dispose of it, so that there will be no two people appearing.

share."

Seeing that Mr. Xiao was really hard to meet, Madam Xu thought that the money had been collected, so she kept Xiao Yao again. She couldn't help but feel pain when she saw it, so she didn't delay it. Ruyue immediately went to get Xiao Yao's contract, and she

He said to Xiao Yao: "Ayao, mother and daughter are having sex, let me talk to my mother?"

Xiao Yao showed a look of embarrassment on his face and looked at Master Xiao Er and Master Xiao San.

When Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Xiao Third Master Xiao saw her expression, they knew that she wanted to talk to Mrs. Xu. Although they did not agree, they nodded after thinking that they were sorry for her over the years.

Xiao Yao and Madam Xu entered Xiao Yao's room and talked.

Madam Xu changed her face and her eyes were filled with tears in an instant: "Ayao, my mother originally planned to raise you so much and let you help her make more money, but now you are going to be taken away. Mom is losing money. Ayao, you

Draw the third set?"

Xiao Yao shook his head: "Before I have time to draw the third set." After saying that, he saw that Madam Xu showed dismay, and comforted him softly, "Mom, don't be sad. If I was taken away as a slave, I am afraid that I can't draw any more in this life.

My mother only has two sets of my paintings. At that time, my mother will raise the price and I think she can make money."

Mrs. Xu still had a bitter face and said, "How can such a good thing be there? I'm afraid that someone will copy your painting in a few days."

After hearing this, Xiao Yao took the retreat as he advanced: "I remember my mother once said that I bought it from the kidnapper when doing good deeds. It was both good deeds and certificates. It was better for my mother to go to the prefect with those two guests.

Is there a clear idea? Being a painter is much more comfortable than serving the ladies."

After hearing this, Xu said, "You are indeed bought by me for good deeds. Those two customers are not ordinary in their identities. How dare our merchants fight them? Forget it, it's all their lives.

Forget it, I accept my fate, and you accept my fate too."

Xiao Yao had known that Madam Xu was like this, and she didn't say anything after hearing this, but she showed sadness on her face.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded, and then the second young master Xiao’s voice sounded: “It’s time to leave, what else do you want to say? Are you discussing escaping?”

Madam Xu hurriedly said, "I dare not--" and signaled Xiao Yao to come out with her.

Xiao Yao didn't clean up anything, so he followed Madam Xu out.

Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Xiao San did not intend to stay for too long, so they immediately asked Xiao Yao to cover his face with them with a veil.

Dongxue reluctantly stepped forward and took a handkerchief to help Xiao Yao cover her face.

Xiao Yao looked at Dongxue: "That yellow box is a little messy, please go back and clean up." She promised to give Dongxue a spring palace picture. She had not finished drawing a set, but she had also drawn several pictures.

It was placed in the yellow box. Now that she is leaving, she can only give Dongxue the unset pictures first.

Dongxue nodded and looked at Xiao Yao with tears in her eyes: "Girl, you have to be fine."

Xiao Yao nodded, quickly lowered his head, followed Mr. Xiao, the second master, and the third master, and quietly left the back door.

When they arrived at the back door, Xiao Yao got into a very ordinary carriage and let the carriage take him away.

Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Xiao Third looked at Xiao Yao, who was covered with faces and bowed their heads without saying anything. They had thousands of words in their hearts, but they all held back.

The carriage turned around the city a few times and finally stopped in the yard of a quiet house.

Master Xiao Er looked at Xiao Yao kindly: "Here, get off the car."

Xiao Yao got out of the car and followed the two into the room.

Mr. Xiao second signaled the maid to go out. When the maid went out, he closed the door. Then he looked down at Xiao Yao, no longer suppressing his surging feelings, and said to Xiao Yao with a sob: "Xiao Yao, I am your father...

”

Xiao Yao looked at Master Xiao Er in surprise: "This, this...didn't it mean that I am the descendant of your escaped slave?"

Mr. Xiao immediately said, "This is to stabilize the madam's words. Sister, I am your brother, my biological brother. When I was a child, I often took you to climb trees and fly kites in the mansion. Do you still remember it?

?Also, you like the sugar man I bought for you the most. You often hold it and don’t want to eat it until the sugar man melts. Do you remember?"

He turned against the arrogance and coldness he had in Qinglou before, and became very enthusiastic. His round eyes were full of warmth, looking at Xiao Yao expectantly.

Xiao Yao looked at the two red eyes in front of him, and endless sorrow and grievance surged in his heart. She knew that this was the relationship belonging to the original owner.

However, through these two pairs of red eyes, she knew that the original owner's parents and brother were really very nice to the original owner. Even if she knew that the original owner had become a commoner, her love for her had not decreased a little.

Mr. Xiao Er and Mr. Xiao Third saw Xiao Yao staring at them blankly and not talking. Mr. Xiao Er said in a gentler voice: "Xiao Yao, are you scared? Don't worry, slowly adapt to it.

That's right. If you can't remember what happened in the past, you can't remember it after you go home."

Xiao Yao came back to his senses, his eyes filled with tears in his eyes. He looked at Master Xiao and the third son in disbelief and excitement: "Are you really my father and brother?"

Mr. Xiao Er and the third son were both sad when they saw Xiao Yao's appearance. Mr. Xiao Er stepped forward, reached out and touched Xiao Yao's head, and choked:

"Ayao, it's true. On the Lantern Festival when you were five years old, my servants took you to watch the lanterns. I didn't like you and asked you to kidnap people. My father and your mother have been looking for you for years. Now, God
