Chapter 307
Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling were about to get on the carriage when suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence around them. They turned around and saw a woman running towards them in a panic.
Seeing this, Okra and Holly immediately stood in front of the woman and looked at her warily.
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, tears welling up in her eyes. Her action attracted the attention of the people around her, and many people stopped and watched the scene.
The woman wiped her tears and choked up, "Thank you for saving my life, benefactors. Please have mercy on me."
Shangguan Ziling frowned and said, "Get up, what's wrong with you?"
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop, tears streaming down her face. Her actions attracted the attention of the people around her, and many people stopped to watch. The woman wiped her tears and choked up, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, benefactors. Please have mercy on me."
Shangguan Ziling looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and frowned. She asked softly, "Get up. What's wrong with you?"
The woman looked at Mo Shaoxie with tears in her eyes, as if asking him for help.
Shangguan Ziling noticed this and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
She gave Qiu Kui a look, and Qiu Kui immediately understood what she meant. He took a step forward and gently helped Cuihua up.
Cuihua cried and replied, "My name is Cuihua. I am sixteen years old and have been living with my mother. My mother passed away yesterday. Now I am all alone and helpless. I really have no other options. Miss, please take me in."
Her voice was full of pleading and desperation, making people want to lend a helping hand.
The little fat man in the space said: "Master, this woman keeps looking at your man. Her intentions are not pure!"
"I'm not blind!"
The people around also started talking about it, and someone said sympathetically: "This woman is so pitiful, her only family is gone."
Another person echoed: "Yeah, hey! Who said it wasn't!"
Although Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie had just rescued the people, so many people crowded into the manor last night that a stampede occurred and some people were trampled to death on the spot.
Cuihua's eyes were gleaming with expectation as she continued pitifully, "Young master, please take me in. I can work like a slave for you, but I only ask that you give me a place to settle down." Her voice was full of pleading and despair, making people want to lend a helping hand.
Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly and said to Qiu Kui, "Qiu Kui, give her some silver."
After hearing this, Qiu Kui took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to Cuihua.
Shangguan Ziling finished speaking, and took Mo Shaoxie to the carriage. Cuihua begged, "Master, please take me in!"
Qiu Kui glanced at Cuihua and said coldly: "Our master has no shortage of maids. My master is kind-hearted. Seeing that you are a weak woman who has just lost your loved ones, she took the silver and left."
Cuihua shook her head and knelt down again. "I am a weak woman, holding silver in my hand. I am afraid that I didn't go far before someone robbed me. Please be kind and save a life. It is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please take me in!"
"Drive away!" Mo Shaoxie's cold voice came from the carriage.
Dongqing grabbed Cuihua and threw her aside without saying a word, and the group drove away in the carriage.
Cuihua climbed up, looked at the back of the carriage going away, and stomped her feet in anger.
When the people saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they all dispersed.
In fact, Cuihua's mother was fine. She just saw that the young man was extremely handsome. She had never seen such a good-looking man before. Even if she had to be a slave, she would be willing as long as she could see him every day. It was a pity that it couldn't be realized even so.
Cuihua walked home while cursing the young lady in her heart. She thought that the young lady was the unkind one.
Just as Cuihua walked into the alley, a group of bully-looking men came over. When they saw Cuihua walking into the alley alone, a trace of greed flashed in their eyes.
The leading man walked up to Cuihua and said with a lewd smile: "Hey, isn't this the crying woman just now? Why is it that no one is paying attention to you so soon?"
Cuihua looked at those people and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Cuihua looked at the men and tried to remain calm, but her trembling voice betrayed her: "What...what do you want to do?"
The leading man laughed, grabbed Cuihua's arm, and said, "What for? Of course I'm taking you to Lele. You're so beautiful, it must be fun!"
Cuihua struggled desperately, but her strength was not enough to break free from the leading man's restraints.
Other men also gathered around her, staring at her with lustful eyes, making her feel nauseous and frightened.
Cuihua trembled and said, "Let me go."
The man laughed maliciously, "You just shamelessly worked like a slave for me, but I don't want you to work for me. It's okay, sir. If I want you to work for me, just work like a slave for me! Hahahaha..."
Cuihua shouted: "No, let me go."
But how could a weak woman like her be a match for several big men? Soon, she was taken away by them.
After Cuihua was taken away by the bullies, her fate became precarious. The bullies took her to a remote, dilapidated house and locked her up. They insulted and bullied Cuihua in various ways, making her feel extremely humiliated and desperate.
Cuihua spent long night after long night in the shabby house, and she didn't know how to escape this nightmare.
She could only pray silently, hoping that someone would rescue her. However, the reality made her feel extremely cruel. The bullies had no intention of letting her go, and they planned to sell her to a brothel and let her become a prostitute.
When Cuihua heard the news, she couldn't help feeling despair.
Just when Cuihua was about to fall into despair, she suddenly thought of Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie. She hated Shangguan Ziling very much and thought that it was because of her that she was not taken in, which led to her current situation.
Shangguan Ziling and the others had no idea what Cuihua was going through. They had already left this place and started their journey back to Beijing.
Shangguan Ziling and Mo Shaoxie were enjoying a quiet time in the carriage.
Shangguan Ziling sat in Mo Shaoxie's arms, lying lazily, feeling his warmth and breath. She thought of Doctor Xue's injuries and treatment.
Shangguan Ziling smiled and said, "By the way, Doctor Xue's injury has almost healed. After I told him about what happened in the space, he went in and was reluctant to come out. He said he wanted to practice his medical skills in there."
