Shen Hai can now get whatever he wants on the sea. Xu Fengqing gets more and more things with the help of this girl. For example, Shen Hai will only give him face if he makes the first move. Another example is that anyone who goes out to sea with the Xu family seal will always get some care from Shen Hai, and merchant ships can go out to sea more smoothly.
It is precisely because of this reason that even Mr. Bai Qi is now very tolerant towards Xu Fengqing, and the wealthy families in the southeast all give face to Xu Fengqing.
Aunt Bai and Mother Lai were both servants of the Xu family. They were placed in Beijing by Xu Fengqing to work. This was also a way for the Xu family to show their loyalty to Master Bai Qi and Dongnan.
Now, hearing that the crucial girl was actually Shen Hai's daughter, Lai's mother was so scared that she almost fell to the ground: "How could this be?! Isn't that... that girl in Liancheng? Liancheng is thousands of miles away from the capital... Did you make a mistake? No..."
Aunt Bai cried even harder. She was really terrified. She held Aunt Bai's hand with tears and snot streaming down her face. "I thought she was just trying to scare me at first, but she... she really does have a crescent-shaped birthmark on her arm. Do you remember? We once took care of her in the adults' house. I won't make a mistake..."
Mother Lai felt very disappointed.
How could she not remember the birthmark that Aunt Bai mentioned
At first, they were assigned to serve this distinguished young lady, but they thought the brown crescent-shaped scar was dirt and applied ointment on it, and they were almost blinded by the arrogant young lady.
That girl was spoiled by Xu Fengqing and the others. She had no regard for people at all, let alone human life. She did whatever she wanted at such a young age. That time, she got so angry that she almost took the lives of Aunt Bai and Mother Lai.
Mother Lai also had goosebumps crawling up her spine. She stared at Aunt Bai in amazement: "Then why didn't you tell Master Qi right away?"
Mrs. Bai covered her head in pain: "I, I don't dare! Before I knew the identity of that girl, I had already beaten her up... She ran away, and when I found her, I found out her identity. She recognized me, and she said, she said... She wanted to cut me into pieces..."
Cut into pieces.
This is what the girl would say, and this is what she would do.
More importantly, Mr. Bai Qi will listen.
The girl from the Shen family is not important. What is important is Shen Hai behind her.
For the sake of her own life, Aunt Bai had no choice but to pretend that she did not recognize the girl.
Mrs. Lai was so frightened that her soul flew away. She looked at Mrs. Bai in disbelief: "But... what should we do if something happens?!"
Mrs. Bai was already getting angry. She grabbed Lai Mama, stared at her with her eyes and shook her head: "No, no, how many new girls do they bring into the building every year? Not to mention that girl, have you forgotten? Once again, a girl from the censor's family came to the building, but they suppressed the matter in the end. Even if they find out about it, we can just insist that there was no such thing, right? No one will find out..."
Mother Lai was deeply troubled.
She really hated herself for asking such a big question and finding out such a big secret.
But what if she knew now? The incident had already happened. The girl had already gone to the dog farm in the eastern suburbs. The situation was irreversible. If things really got out of hand, the first ones to suffer would be her and Aunt Bai. They were in charge of these prostitutes. If they made such a mistake and didn't recognize the girl, how could they survive? Even if it was to appease the anger of Shen Hai and Xu Fengqing, their fate would definitely be ten times worse than that of Shen Yaoniang who went to the dog farm.
At this point, Lai Mama could only hope that, as she had said to Aunt Bai, so many young ladies would be abducted to Zhijuhai Manor.
Juhai Manor is engaged in the flesh trade, and no one knows how many wealthy men or prominent young ladies are brought here by mistake every year. But until now, nothing serious has happened. This time will be the same, nothing will happen.
It will take some time for the Xu family to realize that the person is missing, and it will take time to look for him. There are so many people in this huge crowd, where can they look
Now that I have found this place, I have no idea when it will happen.
Aunt Bai and Mother Lai endured the days in fear. There was no movement for seven or eight days, which finally made them feel better.
But the good days didn't last for a few days. One day, when Mrs. Bai asked the young lady who served Mr. Yuan to go out, she suddenly saw a large number of people rushing downstairs. Qin Feng walked in front first. When he saw Mrs. Bai, he didn't have time to say anything. He just grabbed the young lady's collar and lifted her up to the air, and then asked coldly: "Where are you from?"
The young lady was so frightened that her face turned pale. He threw her to the ground fiercely and she curled up into a ball. When she saw that he was about to hit her again, she cried out in fear: "Hunan! We are from Hunan!"
Aunt Bai’s right eyelid twitched suddenly.
Qin Feng ignored her and stepped on the girl's chest. He asked her in a deep voice: "Do you know a girl named Yao Niang? She is about the same age as you, has a bad temper, and speaks with a Liancheng accent..."
Aunt Bai was so frightened that she was stunned.
The girl was also frightened and nodded hurriedly: "I know her, I know her. She was sold here with me... She said she was the daughter of the prefect, but those people didn't believe her and beat her up. She was sick all the way here, and it took a long time to recover after she came here..."
Qin Feng couldn't wait to interrupt her: "Where is that person?! Where is she now?!"
The girl looked at Aunt Bai in panic, and said in surprise: "She, she ran away that night and was caught... We don't know where she went..."
Qin Feng's face changed suddenly, as if he thought of something. He didn't care about the person in front of him, turned around and ran away in a hurry without stopping for a moment.
The girl's face turned pale and bloodless after being kicked. She looked at Aunt Bai in surprise and confusion, and shouted "Mom" in fear.
Aunt Bai stared at her with empty eyes, unable to speak.
That night, the lights in the side courtyard of Juhai Manor remained on all night.
The guards kept running around the building, going in and out, making a lot of noise. For a moment, they didn't even care whether Lord Yuan was happy or not, and even went to Lord Yuan's room.
When the sky turned pale, Qin Feng and Qin Chong hurriedly pushed open the door of the yard.
Mr. Bai Qi was sitting at the table with a serious expression on his face. When he saw the two of them coming back, he asked without turning his head, "How is it?"
