Chapter 74: In the face of danger, there is reason and reason
Hearing this, Mother Li laughed so hard that her eyes became slits. She raised her hand and gently slapped herself: "I am the one who is stupid and the lady is very wealthy. There is no need for me to be too busy."
"Sit down, I want to discuss a business deal with you." Ruan Mianmian pointed to the seat opposite.
Mother Li was confused when she heard this, but she still sat down and said, "Talk to me about business. I'm old and can't take on the business."
"Be presumptuous, don't talk nonsense, listen to what my lady has to say." The chicken and the duck talked, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Jiu'er couldn't help but speak out.
At this time, Xiaoxiao also approached Ruan Mianmian, and she looked at her with some worry.
"You came just in time." Ruan Mianmian patted the chair next to him, "Sit down first and then talk."
"Miss, do you know that I don't recognize anything here but money." Mother Li was a little impatient.
Ruan Mianmian talked for a long time, but Nanny Li didn't even see the shadow of silver.
Turning her head suddenly, Ruan Mianmian's sharp eyes were like two sharp knives piercing straight towards Mother Li, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Little babies are not easy to mess with. Mother Li, who is well-informed, made an instant judgment. When opening a business, peace is the most important thing. She instantly put on a smile.
Seeing that Li's mother was more restrained, Ruan Mianmian turned her face and asked: "Miss Xiaoxiao, I want to ask, are you willing to leave here?"
Xiaoxiao was startled and smiled bitterly: "Miss, you are joking. If you can't help yourself, which woman would want to stay in a place like this."
"What's wrong with me here?" Mother Li stood up with her hands on her hips, "I provide good food and drink to the girls, especially Xiaoxiao. I've been here for more than half a month. How have I ever treated her badly?"
"Shut up!" Ruan Mianmian shouted.
Just as Mrs. Li was about to open her mouth to speak, her expression suddenly changed and she shut her mouth obediently.
The sharp dagger was pressed against Li's mother's throat. Jiu'er said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I'm warning you, listen carefully to what my lady says and don't interrupt."
"Miss, bring a maid here to make a scene. I'm afraid you've underestimated Yuanyuanlou." Mother Li's face was gloomy.
"Jiu'er." Ruan Mianmian waved his little hand to signal her to take away the dagger, but the little man was quite dignified and majestic.
"My maid is a bit grumpy, but I hope Mother Li will be patient and let's have a good chat."
Mother Li is a smart person, and she also saw it at this time: "If Miss wants to talk to me about taking Xiaoxiao away, no matter what method is used, it is impossible."
"What if I have to take her away?" Ruan Mianmian said with determination in her tone.
Xiaoxiao stared at Ruan Mianmian with wide eyes in disbelief: "Miss, are you kidding me?"
"Tell me first, are you willing to leave here?"
"Of course I am willing, but..."
Ruan Mianmian interrupted Xiaoxiao's words and turned to Li's mother and said directly: "Can you make a price?"
"Haha, Miss really plans to redeem Xiaoxiao's life." Mother Li smiled arrogantly, "I just said it's impossible."
Xiaoxiao looked gloomy, and she said softly: "Xiaoxiao appreciates the kindness of the young lady."
"You bought her for five hundred taels of silver." Ruan Mianmian said lightly.
Mother Li glanced at Ruan Mianmian in surprise. She even knew about this. It seemed that the little baby was well prepared.
"No matter how much money I spend to buy her, her deed of sale is in my hands, and she is my Yuanyuanlou."
"You don't know her identity, do you?" Ruan Mianmian's sharp eyes fell on Li's mother's face, "Five hundred taels of silver bought such an outstanding beauty, didn't you have any doubts?"
Hearing this, Mother Li was secretly frightened. She had some doubts before, but she was so greedy for profit that she didn't think so much anymore. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiaoxiao.
Ruan Mianmian stood up and walked around the room, then walked to the door and looked around, then she walked slowly back and sat down.
"What are you looking at?" Mother Li asked a little guilty.
Ruan Mianmian smiled with a calculating face and said: "If such a big business is shut down..."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Li's mother retorted, "I opened the door to do business, and I didn't break the law. Why should I be banned?"
"It's just because you kidnapped and trafficked an official lady." Ruan Mianmian pointed her hand towards Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was shocked when she heard Ruan Mianmian reveal her true identity.
Since being sent to Yuanyuan Tower in a daze, Xiaoxiao has never mentioned her life experience. She is a smart person and knows that there is nowhere to go even if she escapes, so she can only deal with it first.
These days, Xiaoxiao has already thought about it and made up her mind. If that day comes, she will be done with it and will never be humiliated.
After meeting Ruan Mianmian yesterday, she took the handkerchief she left and thought that Ding'an Houfu was not an ordinary family. Xiao Xiaosi thought about it and decided to ask her to help fulfill her unfulfilled wish, which was to send a letter to say goodbye to Ruan Jin.
Mother Li came to her senses. She stood up suddenly and opened her mouth to call someone. Suddenly she reached out and covered her mouth, not daring to make any sound.
Jiu'er's dagger was pressed against Mama Li's waist, and she could even feel that Liangshao's clothes had been pierced.
"You want to keep us?" Ruan Mianmian walked up to Mother Li and raised her little head, "My name is Ruan Mianmian, do you think you can make me disappear quietly?"
"Ruan Mianmian, Ruan Mianmian." Mother Li sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she blurted out: "Princess Linglong."
"Yes." Ruan Mianmian showed a bright smile, "I didn't expect Miss Lin to know about me."
"You are really Princess Linglong of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion." Mother Li was also shocked.
Regarding Ruan Mianmian, it can be said that he is the most sensational figure in Beijing recently.
In particular, the emperor also granted Ruan Mianmian the title of the first princess of a different surname in the dynasty, which is enough to make people understand how favored she is.
I never expected that the princess would come to Yuanyuan Tower regardless of her status, let alone that she would want to redeem Xiaoxiao's life.
Mother Li's happiness when she received the five hundred taels yesterday was far less than the regret she felt today.
"You don't have the ability to keep me. If nothing else, you can't afford to offend Ding'an Marquis Mansion." Ruan Mianmian sat down and looked at Li's mother with a smile.
"The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty. How can the princess know the law and break the law?" Mother Li's body was shaking slightly, but she still tried to maintain her composure on the surface.
Ruan Mianmian held Xiao Xiao's hand: "You robbed the family members of a third-rank official in the imperial court and forced them into prostitution. I, the princess, saw injustice and drew my sword to help you. So what if I kill you?"
"Family of a third-grade official!" Li's mother looked at Xiaoxiao in shock.
That day, Xiaoxiao was carried into Yuanyuan Building. Seeing her appearance, Mother Li saw the money pouring in like water, so she bought her without hesitation.
Later, when Xiaoxiao woke up, Mother Li discovered that not only did she play the piano well, but she also had excellent literary talent. Even she, who was illiterate, found her handwriting to be very beautiful.
