Chapter 362 Buying People
Yunyi forcibly suppressed the pain in her heart: "Get up."
The two men hurriedly thanked her and stood up. When they saw Yunyi's face clearly, their originally cloudy eyes widened instantly. They wanted to say something, but when they opened their mouths, they couldn't say anything.
"Let's go." Yunyi nodded calmly.
Yu Hongming and Xiao Jinxiu exchanged a glance. Although Yun Yi didn't say anything, they could tell that these two definitely knew the young lady.
After returning to the Yun residence, Yun Yi did not rush to question the two people. Instead, she had someone prepare bathwater, let them wash and change their clothes, and have them eat their fill before calling them over.
"Greetings, Miss." The two knelt down on the ground as soon as they entered, weeping uncontrollably.
"Aunt Lingzhi, Aunt Sangye, please get up and speak." Yunyi personally helped them up. "What are you doing here? Where are Aunt Banxia and Aunt Lianqiao?"
When the original owner's mother, Qi Miao'er, married Fang Tang, she brought four maids with her as part of her dowry: Lingzhi, Sangye, Banxia, and Lianqiao. Each of the four maids had their own abilities and were extremely loyal to Qi Miao'er.
Lingzhi excels in needlework, Sangye is good at business, Banxia is skilled in martial arts, and Lianqiao is a master of medicine.
After Qi Miao'er's accident, the four maids went to look for her, but they never returned until the original owner of this body was sold.
“After Madam’s accident, we split up to search, but after more than a month of searching, we still had no news. We had no choice but to return to the Fang family, only to find that you, Miss, were also missing.” Lingzhi sniffed. “We certainly weren’t finished, were we? But unexpectedly, Sun Qingli had planted experts in the mansion. Banxia and Lianqiao were seriously injured while protecting us and eventually escaped from the Fang family, but we were then sold out by Sun Qingli. These past few days, we’ve been trying to find out about Miss and them, but…”
She couldn't continue talking, so she simply covered her mouth and burst into tears.
"Heaven has taken pity on us, and actually let us see the young lady, sob sob..." Sang Ye cried along with her, "Even if we die, we can still face the madam with gratitude, sob sob..."
Yunyi didn't stop them from crying. Instead, she got up and hugged the two of them, letting them cry their hearts out. After all, they must have suffered a lot over the past two years.
Finally, when Yunyi felt her shoulders were completely soaked, the two of them were finally exhausted from crying.
"I'm sorry, Miss, I got your clothes dirty." Sang Ye wiped her face apologetically.
"Just change your clothes if they get dirty," Yunyi smiled. "You guys wash your faces first."
Yun Hong had already brought over some warm water.
While the two were washing their faces, Yunyi also went inside to change her clothes. After sitting down again, her emotions had calmed down.
"What are your plans?" Yunyi asked the two of them.
“Our goal was to find Miss Lingzhi before, and now that we’ve found her, we’ll naturally follow her.” Lingzhi and Sangye exchanged a glance. “As long as Miss Lingzhi doesn’t mind us.”
They were first sold into a brothel. Fortunately, they weren't completely ignorant of medicine, so they used herbs to make themselves covered in red bumps, thus avoiding the risk of serving customers. Then, fearing infection, the people in the brothel sold them off cheaply.
After that, the two of them kept pretending to be mute and ugly, so they could only sell their goods at lower and lower prices and in more and more remote places. This time, the previous buyers brought a few people to Longxi, and the two of them were included as a bonus.
“My two aunts, please don’t belittle yourselves. You watched me grow up and are the people my mother trusts the most. I would be more than happy if you could stay by my side.”
Lingzhi and Sangye exchanged a glance, smiled, and then took out the indenture: "From now on, we belong to Miss."
"unnecessary……"
“Yes, I need it.” Sang Ye stuffed the indenture into Yun Yi’s hand. “This is what Madam instructed us to do. She said that once she’s gone, our indentures will be transferred to you.”
Yunyi didn't refuse upon hearing this. She took the contract of sale, looked at it, and then put it into her spatial storage.
"Young Miss, what are you doing here? Back then..." Lingzhi couldn't help but ask Yunyi.
“I was also drugged and sold by Sun Qingli.” Yunyi’s eyes narrowed slightly. “It was Xu’er who did it.”
"Xu'er?" Lingzhi couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this. "I didn't expect it to be that girl. No wonder we found Xu'er in the Second Miss's courtyard when we went back. So she's a traitor."
"What are the young lady's plans?" Lingzhi knew that the young lady was doing quite well here ever since she came to the Yun family.
"My plans..." Yunyi shrugged, "Let's take it one step at a time."
The two women stopped talking. From now on, this would be their master, and they would do whatever their master decided.
“But I think we should still look for Banxia and Lianqiao.” Yunyi took a deep breath. “I just cast a divination for them, and they’re not dead. They’re still alive.” Even her own mother is still alive, but she doesn’t know why she hasn’t shown up yet.
"Really?" Lingzhi's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful!"
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go and rest first and get well soon." Yunyi didn't intend to talk anymore. "Ah Hong, you take your two aunts to rest first."
Yun Hong hurriedly led the two away.
"Master, when are you going to see Ma Jisheng?" Xiao Jinxiu asked as she came over.
"No rush." Yunyi took a sip of tea. "Let's talk about it when we get back from Yiqinglou tomorrow."
Ma Jisheng had already bathed, changed his clothes, and eaten dinner. Yu Hongming arranged for him to stay in the servants' quarters.
"Ah Ming," Ma Jisheng hurriedly grabbed Yu Hongming, who was about to leave, "When will Miss see me?"
"How would I know?" Yu Hongming shrugged. "But I suggest you wait patiently. Miss, you'll see me when you want to."
Ma Jisheng could only nod.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Yunyi took Xiao Jinxiu and Yunhong to Yiqing Tower.
"Master, you've finally arrived." Hua Niang breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she saw Yun Yi coming over.
"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "Have everyone gather in the hall."
The matchmaker quickly called out, and the rest of the people came over.
“Some have left; these are all people with nowhere to go.” Hua Niang handed over all the newly signed indentures. “There are now eighteen girls in total.”
Yunyi took it and looked it over, then nodded slightly: "You can leave or stay as you please, you did a good job."
The flower girl smiled and waved her hand: "So what's next? When do we open?"
