Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Hearing Liu's words about selling the boy as a slave, Magu's eyes twitched slightly, and she handed over a glass of water with an expressionless face.

Liu glanced cautiously at the expression on Xie Xian's face, as if she regretted what she had said just now. Seeing that no one responded, she took it shyly and drank it in small sips.

Xie Miao was quite annoyed: "Yesterday I was kind enough to let you in, but today you brought so many people with you. Do you think our queen is running a charity?"

In fact, Liu had looked for her several times before. Ever since the Qiqiao Festival, she would hang around the gate of the orphanage from time to time. When she saw Magu, she occasionally spoke to her and realized that she was from Heishi Village.

Xie Xian glanced at their faces but still said nothing.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Qing Dai couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't you all live well in the past few years when our queen didn't come back? Why is it that you can't live well this year?"

She was really curious.

Liu said with some grievance and helplessness on her face, "That was in the past. In autumn, we would go to the third room to collect grain. In previous years, we would wait for the guards to go hunting in the mountains and exchange money for it, and then we could continue to supply."

"But since last year, disasters have continued. The yield from the land is already low, and the mountains are not as good as in previous years. The land in Montenegro is so poor that even hungry people are unwilling to come."

"I've been relying on this to survive! But since last month, we haven't gained anything from going into the mountains. Not only have we lost manpower, but we've also run out of food this month." If it wasn't for the fact that they really couldn't make ends meet, who would be willing to sacrifice their dignity and come to the mistress of the host family for help.

Aunt Ma poured another cup and passed it to Liu.

Xie Miao glared at Liu and said, "This is not enough to shut you up."

These children have already entered the yard and they cannot be driven out, otherwise the clan will not know how to deal with the ladies in the future.

But it would be inappropriate to ask her to agree to this matter just by crying and begging. She and Qingdai looked at each other, otherwise...

With a "bang", Xie Xian finally lost her patience and threw the stone spirit in her hand onto the table. She was a little upset. Even if she used some food, she couldn't get rid of it.

Seeing that they can come for the first time, they can also come for the second time. No wonder the third house was so happy to hear that they could pay off their debts that they even gave away the deed to the East Street. It can be seen that the Black Stone Guards have been buying things on credit for years, and the third uncle is definitely a deadbeat among them.

I dare not refuse to lend it, and I dare not ask for it. Anyone who asks for it will become bald.

Xie Xian was wondering why it was so difficult to run this garrison, but she had never heard Grandfather mention it.

She had not considered the matter of the Black Stone Guard carefully enough.

Originally I thought that I was helping to pay off the debts from previous years.

After this, he should quickly introduce someone to take over. He has no intention of becoming the King of Punishment, and the few times he dealt with Si Ji were only in an employment relationship.

She took over East Street to make it clear that she was doing business as a businessman and could not get along with the Black Stone Guards. She felt that she had reached a tacit understanding with Aong.

But what does this mean? Did Liu come here on his own initiative? Or did the Black Stone Guard have other ideas? Or did they come here simply to take advantage of me?

Xie Xian frowned, brainstorming. When she came back to her senses and looked at Liu's hand, which was as hard as old tree bark, she felt depressed.

I thought Xie Yun's appreciation for East Street's affairs was an admission that she could get away. After all, she thought she was quite averse to suspicion, and the Black Stone Guards paid her money and provided her with food, with good treatment.

It was a purely transactional relationship. He had never met Xie Changhuan, the actual person in charge of the Black Stone Guard, for fear of misunderstanding and to avoid being involved in the struggle between several forces.

Xie Xian thought she had done well enough, but this incident caught her off guard.

Can she accept the Blackstone Guard's child? Yes, but why? She is just a delicate girl, why should she bear the burden of the clan? She knows her own weight and can't handle this.

I lived for nearly thirty years in my previous life, and life here was not about poetry and distant places, but only about the present.

Xie Xian, who was afraid of trouble, shook off some bad thoughts. She didn't want to think about it and would never let herself fall into such a situation.

She was nearly killed last time at Xiangxia Villa on the Huai River. If the visitor hadn't just wanted to ruin her reputation, the grass on her grave would be so tall by now.

The Black Stone Guard really didn't want to get stuck. Thinking of this, Xie Xian noticed Magu's gaze and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

If this matter is not handled properly and offends the clan, I might even have to take back this luxurious villa.

Liu knelt on the ground and begged, but Xie Xian was in a trance, with no expression on her face.

Xie Miao was a little flustered and looked in the direction of Magu. The expression on Nvjun's face made her feel cold.

She vaguely guessed what Xie Xian was thinking. The lady seemed to have no interest in anything.

Several people privately speculated that the lady was hurt by Kang Jian, or that she felt she had lost hope.

After the divorce, Xie Miao felt that she was living like a human being. To her, everything about her daughter was good. Xiao Lier learned to read and count in the orphanage's school, and she became much more cheerful. She even took the words of the daughter as her guiding principle, and said that she would serve the daughter when she grew up.

The lady said the other day that men are unreliable and only those you hold in your hands are yours.

Seeing the rise of the female monarch, everyone in the second house also had hope, and privately believed that the position of the Lord of Punishment could only belong to Xie Xian.

But for some reason, the queen is quite taboo about the Black Stone Guards and never mentions them on weekdays.

After thinking about it, I still feel that the lady must be missing her family. It would be much better if she had more contact with her clansmen and cared more about them.

Xie Xian, who was thought to be missing her family, said: Thank you.

The atmosphere in the main room became tense.

Qing Dai was standing aside, seeing her own lady being forced like this, which really damaged her dignity. She said angrily: "Liu, it's not easy for you, so did our lady's money come from the wind? I can't help you raise your children for no reason. The orphanage also has its own rules."

Seeing that the few people seemed to be trying to ease the situation, Liu rolled her eyes and smiled awkwardly, "I just think that we are all members of the second branch of the family. After all, we will serve the lady when we grow up. This will allow the children to learn to read. It will be worth it even if we die immediately." There was grievance and injustice on her face, but her eyes were staring straight at Xie Xian.

When they saw this, they all understood that they were targeting the young students.

Xie Xian had seen too many looks. Every time parents looked at her like this across the school fence, she felt relieved.

As long as she doesn't insist on selling her body, it will be fine. She stared at the woman and said, "The child can come, but he has to do some work to earn money for food." Just consider it as a good relationship. As long as she doesn't come into contact with the soldiers, it should be fine.

I also heard the day before yesterday that there were many orphans who died in the Blackstone Guard and many helpless old soldiers.

But wait, she suddenly understood why the Black Stone Guard's expenses were so huge. In this era, it was rare to find someone who would raise offspring for those who died in battle and provide compensation for the wounded.

After hearing this, Liu fell to the ground and burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, my lady, thank you so much!"

Xie Xian waved her hand to send Liu away and continued to play with the coal and think silently.

Magu escorted Liu to the door and said with a gloomy face, "You bitch, you have grown bolder after not seeing you for a few days. Tell me! Who asked you to come?"

Liu knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling with fear, "Aunt, don't blame me. People in the village say that you own the shop on East Street, and you will definitely give your children a future."

"Besides, if the servants in the courtyard can learn it, why can't we, the legitimate members of the second branch of the family, learn even a little bit? Aunt, open your eyes and see what kind of life we ​​have been living since the master left. My father and brother are lying in that pond. How can we let his children suffer such injustice?"

Liu was lying on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and the bluestone beside her changed color with the light of water.

Aunt Ma's expression remained unchanged: "Then this is not a reason for you to force the lady."
