After a while, Nan Yan heard the sound of silver bells.

"Ma'am, some hooligans stopped the two girls."

"Have them sent to the government office."

The voice coming from the carriage was soft and clear, like soft threads that entwined and coiled around, making the listener feel numb all over.

But what he said scared the thugs out of their wits.

Looking at the sandalwood carriage and the imposing guards and maids, one can tell that the lady inside must be someone extraordinary. If her people personally escorted them to the government office, they would be in big trouble.

Several people cried and begged for mercy.

"Madam, please spare us! We don't dare to do it anymore. Please give us a way to live."

"We will definitely change our ways in the future. Please let us go, Madam."

"Please, Madam, please show some mercy..."

"Shut up." Nan Yan couldn't help but frown. Even if she didn't see them, she knew how frightened they were. She ordered in a cold voice, "Shut their mouths and send them away."

Upon hearing this, the guards stepped forward, tore off the cloth on the men's clothes, and blocked their mouths.

"Uuuuuuu..."

"vomit……"

They knew how many days it had been since they had washed their clothes. When they stuffed them into their mouths, the smell of sweat and sour smell was so bad that they rolled their eyes.

"Yinling Ginkgo, come up, let's go!"

Just as Nan Yan finished speaking, she heard a soft female voice, "Madam, wait a minute. Please take me in. My daughter and I are willing to work as maids in your mansion."

Hearing this, Nan Yan lifted the carriage curtain and saw the two sisters kneeling firmly on the ground. Their hair and clothes were messy, and some of their clothes were torn.

There were still traces of tears on her pretty face, making her look so pitiful and fragile that it made people feel distressed.

When the sisters Fang Anya and Fang Xiya saw Nan Yan, they were instantly stunned by her stunning face.

The sisters were also among the most beautiful in the county, but compared with this lady, there was a world of difference. They had never seen anyone so beautiful.

With her exquisite looks and noble aura, people can't help but feel ashamed of themselves.

Nan Yan saw that the two sisters were also people with clear minds, so she said, "You get up first."

The two sisters stared at Nan Yan blankly and didn't hear what she said.

"Girls, our lady wants you to get up quickly." Yinling Ginkgo helped them up.

The two of them came back to their senses, and when they thought about how they looked just now, their faces suddenly turned red.

Fang Anya said embarrassedly: "It's my first time meeting you, Madam. I'm shocked by your beauty. I hope you won't blame us for our disrespect just now."

"No problem." Nan Yan looked at the two sisters, one tall and one short, and asked, "Isn't it good to be good citizens? Why do you want to be slaves?"

Fang Anya looked up and mustered up the courage to explain: "Madam, it's like this..."

It turned out that the two sisters were from Luoyun County, Lin'an Prefecture, which was one of the counties affected by the flood.

Originally they had a happy family.

Their parents loved each other very much. Their mother was a famous embroiderer in Luoyun County. The two sisters also learned the craft from their mother and were very good at it. Their family was also well-off.

But after the flood, their parents and servants all died while trying to save the two sisters.

Luoyun County was devastated after the flood. They had no one to rely on in Luoyun County and could only dress up as men, dress dirty and come to the capital to live with their aunt who had married to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, they first washed up in the inn, changed into clean clothes, and went to the address left by their aunt.

After they knocked on the door, they learned that their uncle and cousin had died one after another due to illness, and their aunt had disappeared after selling the house.

Just when they were at a loss, a man suddenly appeared and said that he was their aunt and uncle's neighbor and knew where their aunt had moved to.

The two sisters saw that there was only one man and thought that they should be able to handle any problems, so they followed him to the outskirts of Beijing.

Unexpectedly, several men suddenly appeared and they realized they had been cheated.

As she spoke, Fang Anya felt grief-stricken, and tears fell down like pearls from a broken string.

"Our property was washed away by the flood, and my sister and I spent most of the money we had on the way to the capital. Even if we rent a house in the capital, we won't be able to rent it for long."

"Just like what those guys said just now, if we go back to Lin'an now, we may run into the same hooligans as them, or even more brutal bandits than them. But we won't be as lucky as we were today and get rescued by the lady."

She held Fang Xiya's hand, looked at Nan Yan seriously, and said firmly: "Madam, you are very kind-hearted to let these two sisters save us two sisters. We two sisters are willing to serve you, please take us in."

Fang Xiya, who was standing by, also said, "Please, Madam, take me and my sister in."

They were victims of the flood, one was fifteen years old and the other was only twelve years old.

Nan Yan looked at their miserable appearance and felt a little moved.

Besides, they are embroiderers, and she will need such people in the future.

After thinking it through, she nodded and said, "Okay, you and Yinling Yinxing can get in the carriage together!"

Fang Anya and Fang Xiya were stunned at first, and then they realized that Nan Yan had agreed, and expressions of great joy instantly bloomed on their faces.

The two held each other's hands tightly and said excitedly: "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am..."

Yinling Yinxing stepped forward, "Hello, Anya Xiya, my name is Yinling."

"I'm Ginkgo." After introducing herself, Ginkgo immediately said, "Hurry up and get on the carriage! It's getting late, we have to go back quickly."

"Okay, thank you Sister Yinling and Sister Ginkgo."

Yinling Gingko got on the carriage first, followed closely by the two sisters. However, when they opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the layout inside, they suddenly stopped.

Although they are not from a wealthy family, they have seen a lot of good things since childhood.

This carriage looks low-key and luxurious from the outside, and it is even more special inside.

The interior is covered with soft velvet carpets and inlaid with gemstones all around.

They are all dirty now and will make the inside dirty.

Fang Anya said, “Madam, my sister and I should sit outside.”

From the moment they opened the curtain of the carriage, Nan Yan saw their reactions one by one and naturally knew why they wanted to sit outside.

"Nothing, come in and sit down!"

Seeing that Nan Yan really didn’t mind them dirtying the carriage, Fang Anya took her sister’s hand and went in.

The lady was actually kinder than they had imagined. They were so lucky. There was always light at the end of the tunnel.

Although the two sisters sat in the carriage, they were still afraid that the dirt on their bodies would get on more places, so they huddled in a corner.

Nan Yan: "Isn't it uncomfortable for the two of you to sit like that?"

Fang Anya: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. We are not feeling bad."

Nan Yan couldn't persuade them, so she simply gave up.

Fang Xiya fell asleep leaning against her sister while swaying.

Fang Anya felt like she had been walking for a long time and didn't know where she was going. She also began to feel drowsy and finally fell asleep leaning against the carriage.
