Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 360 Ma Jisheng

Yu Hongming nodded and put the pill in his mouth.

The effect of the disguise pill is temporary; however, if the antidote is taken, the effect can be removed at any time.

Xiao Jinxiu stared intently at the other person's face. After a short while, she could see that the face began to change, and tears immediately started to fall uncontrollably.

Yu Hongming hurriedly raised his hand to cover the pockmarked face, turning his back to Xiao Jinxiu: "Did I scare you? I..."

Xiao Jinxiu stepped forward and hugged Yu Hongming from behind, saying, "You've suffered."

Yu Hongming trembled, and tears streamed down his face: "Jinxiu, you..."

“God has been kind to me.” Xiao Jinxiu pressed her face against the other person’s back. “I thought I would grow old alone for the rest of my life, but God gave you back to me. Yu Hongming, if you don’t care that I am an exiled convict, marry me.”

"But Jinxiu, I..."

"Young Master Yutai has always been efficient in his work, but has he become a coward now?"

“No.” Yu Hongming shook his head. “I’m a dead man now. I can’t give you the life you want, and I might even implicate you.”

"After the Crown Prince falls from power, do you think the Xiao family is still afraid of being implicated?"

Yu Hongming fell silent.

"Just tell me, do you want to marry me or not?"

"I……"

"If you marry me, my life will be complete. If you don't, I will never marry, or I may become a nun in a temple. Which choice do you think is more painful?"

“Okay, I’ll marry her.” Yu Hongming took a deep breath. If the little girl was so determined, how could he back down?

"I'll go find my master right now." Xiao Jinxiu smiled, let go of his hand, turned around to face him, and raised her hand to stroke his mutilated face. "Let's get married as soon as possible."

However, as soon as the two stepped out, they saw Yunyi and Yunhong standing not far away, both with mocking expressions, as if they had already anticipated this outcome.

Xiao Jinxiu blushed and said, "Master, I..."

Yun Yi waved her hand at her, then examined Yu Hongming's face: "Can I see your disguise pill?"

Yu Hongming was taken aback, then pulled out a black bottle: "There's only one left."

Yunyi took it, poured it out, examined it in her palm, and then smelled it: "Can I ask who gave it to you?"

"I don't know who the other person is." Yu Hongming shook his head.

"Master, is there a problem with this disguise pill?" Xiao Jinxiu frowned slightly.

"The scent of this disguise pill is somewhat familiar," Yun Yi smiled. "There's no problem, it works well and doesn't harm the body." It's just that she doesn't know why she feels that familiarity.

Yu Hongming smiled and said, "That senior is very capable."

"That senior is a woman, right?"

"how do you know?"

"I'm just guessing." Yunyi had a somewhat immature idea in her mind, but it was just a guess. As for whether it was true or not, she would have to wait and see. "You can use it for now. I'll give you another gift after you get married."

"Master, you support us?" Xiao Jinxiu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Why wouldn't I support it?" Yunyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "However, you still have family, and you need their approval first."

“I know,” Xiao Jinxiu nodded. “I’m going to take him back to the village.”

"Sigh." Yunyi sighed. "I'm short a housekeeper. Yu Hongming, I'm leaving this matter to you. Whether you buy one or promote someone, get me a housekeeper as soon as possible."

Yu Hongming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know someone who is very suitable."

"where is it?"

"It's a dental clinic, but it's a bit pricey."

"I'm not afraid of it being expensive, as long as I can afford it."

"That man worked as the steward of the Du family for five years, but he couldn't stand Du Renyi's behavior, so he stole his own indenture and then disappeared."

Yunyi: ...

Just from the fact that he faked his death, you can tell he's a real talent.

“But he was a servant after all. As long as the Du family was not destroyed, he dared not show his face.” Yu Hongming smiled. “Later, Du Renyi died, and only then did he dare to appear. We met in the brokerage firm. When He Wei came to select people, he also offered himself up, but he was ignored because his price was too high.”

"Come on, take me to see it."

The brokerage firm in Longxi City is quite large. It was originally established with Huo Qingyuan as a shareholder, but now the dividends are in Zhou Jinghan's hands.

The person Yu Hongming was talking about was named Ma Jisheng. He had an average appearance, the kind that you wouldn't notice in a crowd, but his eyes were very bright and alert, yet he didn't seem cunning.

She habitually greets people with a smile, making her a very approachable person.

At first glance, Yunyi knew that this person was born to be a butler.

When Ma Jisheng saw Yu Hongming, he greeted him with a smile: "Butler Yun, here to pick people again?"

"You haven't found a buyer yet?" Yu Hongming replied with a smile.

"Sigh," Ma Jisheng sighed, "No, there isn't."

"Can't you make it cheaper?"

“I’m looking for a master I’ll be loyal to for life, and a good one at that. It won’t be cheap.” Ma Jisheng shook his head.

Yunyi chuckled: "How can you be sure that someone who can afford you is a good master?"

"No, but if they're not good people, I'll leave. After all, I got so much money from selling myself, I can survive no matter what."

"Since you're so capable, why don't you start your own business? Why do you insist on being someone else's slave?"

“Young lady, you don’t understand.” Upon hearing this, Ma Jisheng hurriedly waved his hand. “I have a clear understanding of myself. I am not someone who can make decisions on my own. Moreover, being a commoner is very dangerous. If I offend a powerful figure, I will only be waiting to die. But if I can find a good master, I will not have to worry about being bullied. And I only need to do what my master tells me to do. I don’t need to worry about making a living or the lives of my subordinates.”

Yunyi: ...

This person's perception made her feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong; in short, it was a very peculiar idea.

"What if your master gets into trouble? Wouldn't you be implicated?" Yun Hong couldn't help but ask.

“There are risks in everything you do.” Ma Jisheng shrugged. “If you encounter one, it’s luck if you can escape, and fate if you can’t.”

"You really are..." Yunyi gave a thumbs up, "So, how much are you selling it for?"

"Girl, do you want to buy me?"

“I need a housekeeper.” Yun Yi nodded, then pointed to Yu Hongming, “to take his place.”

Ma Jisheng hurriedly stood up from the ground: "I am very familiar with the entire Longxi Prefecture, especially the situation of those wealthy families. I know clearly who has what background, how many people are in each family, and even how many concubines each family has. Choosing me will definitely not be a regret."
