In Weiyang's yard, Weiyang, who had taken a shower and dried her hair, was still awake. She was talking to the little girl she had pulled out today.
"How old are you?"
"Thirteen, no, I'll be fourteen during the New Year." The little girl lowered her head, wearing Xiaocao's clothes.
Xiaocao is much taller than most people of her age, and the clothes fit this little girl quite well.
"What's your name then?" Xiaocao asked as she handed Weiyang a cup of hot water.
"Xiao, Xiaohua."
Hey, the master and servant looked at each other, what a coincidence
"Where are you from? I'll ask the guards in the mansion to send you back tomorrow." Wei Yang held the teacup to warm her hands but did not drink it.
The little girl became bolder and looked up at Wei Yang in front of her.
The girl in front of him raised her head slightly, her black hair spread out behind her, with a few soft strands falling on her chest. She had a beautiful face and a serene expression.
"Girl, I'm from Qijiazhuang, in the countryside outside Yancheng. Girl..." The little girl knelt down and cried, "My biological mother has been gone for many years, and my stepmother sold me out when my father visited relatives during the New Year."
Seeing that Wei Yang didn't say anything, the little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Miss, please be kind and accept me. I am willing to do anything for you."
Wei Yang was a little stunned. She looked at the grass beside her, and then at Kong Gu who was standing by the door.
There were footsteps in the yard.
"Miss, the general is here." The maidservant at the door reported.
She was confused as to what was going on, so she simply stood up and went out to greet him in person.
As soon as Yan Gui stepped into the outer room, he saw Wei Yang lift the curtain and walk out: "She said she wanted me to take her in."
Yan Gui felt somewhat helpless, but also found it somewhat amusing, and whispered, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Wei Yang simply reached out and grabbed his sleeve: "What should we do with this little girl?"
Looking at the little girl in front of him who was taller than Wei Yang, Yan Gui found it a little funny. The little girl might be older than her, but she still called her a little girl.
"If she doesn't want to go back, then let her stay. Your courtyard is short of maids anyway, and you can put her anywhere else in the mansion. Xiaocao, take her to see Mother Li tomorrow."
Xiaocao replied, "Yes." He pulled the still confused Xiaohua and walked down.
Ever since Yan'er got into trouble, Grandma Sun's family was sent back to the farm in the countryside, and the backyard is now managed by Grandma Li.
Seeing the little girl being taken out by Xiao Cao, Kong Gu also retreated to the outer room. Wei Yang turned around and put the teacup in her hand on the table.
"Why doesn't she want to go home?"
"There is no one in Yanzhou who would not be willing to serve as a slave in the general's mansion."
Wei Yang said "Oh" and looked at the teacup in front of her.
I heard Yan Gui asking, "Why did you guys think of visiting Mingyue Tower today?"
"Just go if you want to." Wei Yang said without turning his head.
Yan Gui couldn't help laughing when he saw her with her head down, her eyes flickering and full of childishness, yet she tried to pretend to be calm.
"You girls can't go to that place, understand?"
Seeing her lowering her head and keeping silent, Yan Gui felt that his tone might be a little harsh. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Yang suddenly stood up and rushed in front of him before he could finish his words.
"I won't go next time."
Yan Gui opened his eyes wide, watching her tiptoe, raise her head, slowly approach, and gently touch his lips...
The unique faint fragrance of the girl easily took his breath away.
Yan Gui clenched and unclenched his hands, caressing her slender waist, and asked in a low voice: "Little girl, what do you want to do?"
"I'm sleepy."
Weiyang let go of her hand, took a step back from him, covered her lips with her hand and yawned.
