Seeing Su Yao's violent reaction, the Third Old Master was not frightened but felt happy in his heart. It seemed that he had felt the pulse correctly. Su Yao really cared about the lives of those girls. He had a clear mind and became more alert. He coughed and said hurriedly, "It's true. The clan is watching. They are waiting for you to leave so that they can burn them to death to avoid any more trouble."
At this time, in order to keep Su Yao, he naturally said everything.
The third old master didn't care whether he was acting too hastily.
Just today anyway.
As long as today is over, everything will be settled.
Su Yao really turned around and told Mother Shen: "Go and inform Madam Qin quickly, and tell her not to prepare the carriages and horses outside, we are not leaving!"
Mother Shen hesitated a little: "My Lady, this has been decided a long time ago. We have already agreed with the outsiders that someone will come to pick us up when the time comes. Why don't you leave now?"
Su Yao nodded in front of the Third Old Master and said, "We are not leaving. We originally came here to save those girls and to run the weaving mill. If we leave and those girls die, then we have come here in vain and nothing will be accomplished. Mom, go and tell Madam Qin."
Seeing that Su Yao said it so straightforwardly, Mother Shen didn’t dare to say anything more, and hurriedly turned around to do her business.
The Third Old Master heaved a sigh of relief. He had rushed all the way here, and his anxiety and rush made his heart ache. Now he felt better, but his chest still ached. When he heard Su Yao said he would not leave, he said, "Actually, I know that the Crown Princess has good intentions, but the clan's rules have been in place for so many years, and there are always some radical people who are unwilling to let it go. It's really difficult for us."
Su Yao sighed, "We have good intentions. In fact, these girls are all from your hometown. Maybe they are related to each other. It's not that they have done anything wrong. They were just kidnapped by someone. They have to be betrayed by their own people. Isn't this rule too cruel?"
The Third Old Master was in the mood to talk to Su Yao about these things at this time: "I thought so too, but I can't do anything about it. Most of the people in the clan are unwilling to let it go easily. There is no other way, so I can only listen to them. Speaking of which, we are also in a difficult situation."
After talking with Su Yao for quite a while and promising to go to Mr. Wu to mediate for these girls, the Third Old Master got up and said goodbye.
Su Yao was quite polite to him: "Thank you, Third Old Master, for making such a special trip to give us the news."
The Third Old Master waved his hands hastily: "I don't deserve that. I only came here to inform you because I saw that the Crown Princess had good intentions and felt sorry for those girls. I don't deserve your praise."
He walked away in the misty drizzle. Liu Jie just came out from the pillar under the corridor, looked at Su Yao and reported softly: "My queen, everything is ready."
Su Yao raised his eyebrows and hummed, with the corners of his mouth curled up: "In that case, let's go over and take a look at those girls."
Liu Jie ordered people to prepare the carriage and escorted Su Yao to see the girls.
This abandoned farm used to house the girls is already overgrown with weeds, but fortunately the house is still sturdy. As soon as you enter the door, you can see many people busy weeding in the yard. Although these girls have been abandoned, they have never been truly useless.
They must have thought that the owner of the manor saved them, so they wanted to clean up the manor.
Mrs. Qin looked at the girls in thin clothes and felt a little sorry: "I'm afraid the clothes we sent are still not enough, but in such a hurry, all the clothes we could buy were sent here... ... Alas!"
At this point, she was truly determined to help these girls.
It was not for any other reason, they were all women, and looking at these girls, she really felt full of courage.
Some militiamen already knew they were coming and shouted at the girls to come over and pay their respects.
The girls knelt on the ground and kowtowed one by one, regardless of the rain.
Su invited Liu Jie to stop him loudly.
Su Yao glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "I can save you by letting you come here from Caotang! I am not saving you just to make you kowtow. Take good care of yourselves and don't get sick. You will get better in the future."
She is a person who never says nice things, but she will definitely do what she says.
It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.
The girls didn’t know how important the identity of the Crown Prince’s Consort was. It was too far away from them, but they understood what Su Yao said.
Su Yao said that he would definitely save them, and this was enough to make them grateful.
A soft cry was heard from the crowd.
Perhaps their recent lives were so terrible that they didn't even have the chance to cry at first. They were only thinking about how to survive. First, they had to survive from the pirates and Japanese pirates, and then they thought about how to survive from their relatives and friends.
Now that they have truly encountered commitment and tenderness, their fear has finally found a place to vent.
The crying seemed to be contagious. At first, the crying was very weak, but later, when everyone's crying added together, it was already a bit creepy.
But no one interrupted.
Even those militiamen who were fierce at the beginning could not help but remain silent at this time.
No one can watch the suffering of the elderly, the weak, women and children and remain indifferent, as long as they are still human.
Mrs. Qin's eyes were already wet.
Su Yao was also sad, but she let the girls cry, and only told them after they had cried enough: "Okay, now you're done crying, go do your own things. You don't have to do anything now. Just make sure you don't get sick and take good care of yourself. There will be a way forward in the future, don't worry."
She has told me several times not to get sick.
It was because of the weather and the fact that these people had just escaped death, and she was afraid that they would not be able to hold on. If they got sick at this time, there would not be so many doctors to see them. Even if there were, most of them would have to rely on themselves to get through it.
But now they are all in very weak physical condition and there is a great possibility that they will not be able to survive.
After the girls finished crying, they suddenly felt more courageous and shouted in agreement.
Only then did Su Yao look at them and smile.
It will be fine. She said it will be fine, and she will definitely do it.
After solving this matter, Su Yao asked Liu Jie: "Have you found the child?"
Liu Jie nodded.
