Chapter 1370 Selling as a Slave
Looking at her slightly red eyes and looking at her forcibly calm, his heart tightened slightly.
After all, some of the harms are beyond her reach.
Anlehou suddenly saw Xiao Qin walking in, and his face was shocked, "Qin'er... why are you here?"
Mrs. Hou herself was also shocked for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. Although she was a little guilty at that moment, Xiao Qin thought about the fact that she caused this kind of scene today.
She didn't feel guilty.
In her opinion, after a few years, everyone has done enough for Xiao Qin, and it is time for Xiao Qin to contribute to her family.
She thought so in her heart, so her eyes looked at Xiao Qin with such righteousness.
Xiao Qin looked at her father and looked at her mother again. She thought she had nothing to do, but when she saw her mother's attitude and indifferent expression, her heart still felt a little thrust.
Fortunately, I had already done psychological construction before coming in, so I was able to quickly pull back my thoughts.
At this moment, Anlehou had already walked to her, looking at her guiltily, trying to reach out and hold her.
I want to ask her...how much did she hear.
But Xiao Qin smiled at him and shook her head, then walked to Ye Er and knelt down.
This action directly changed the faces of the people present.
Ye Er went to support her in a hurry, but saw the despair in her eyes, and his hands stiffened in the air.
Maybe... he shouldn't have exposed those bloody things like this.
In fact, for him, it was just a matter of saying a few words in front of the emperor.
After being trusted by the emperor, he also thought about helping Xiao Qin's two brothers transfer back to Beijing because he knew that she had always felt guilty towards her two brothers, and she wanted her two brothers to return to Beijing than anyone else.
But he didn't do that, not because he didn't want to, but because he felt that returning to Beijing to work may not be a good thing in the current court.
The court today is in chaos, and the emperor is blind and suspicious.
At this time, it may not be a good thing to serve the emperor around you.
And he knew very well that the emperor would not live long and the court would soon usher in earth-shaking changes.
The Anlehou Mansion has always been a path of self-protection. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he needed to cultivate his own ministers. A family like Anlehou, who had no meritoriousness and failures, would he be worried about not being able to return to the capital at that time?
But he didn't expect that the Anlehou and his wife were so anxious.
Especially when Mrs. Hou took the initiative to marry Xiao Qin to him, it was really something he had never thought about.
Xiao Qin's eyes that made people feel distressed when they saw it were pleading, making him unable to move.
When Anlehou and his wife suddenly knelt down when they saw Xiao Qin, their faces turned pale. Anlehou didn't know what she was thinking, but Mrs. Hou was dissatisfied.
In her opinion, Xiao Qin is the princess of Anlehou. Not to mention the person next to her, the identity of a princess alone should not kneel down to Ye Er, who had just entered the officialdom.
This was completely trampling their Anlehou's face to the ground.
So before Ye Er and Anle Hou reacted, Mrs. Hou rushed forward with anger, grabbed Xiao Qin's arm very rudely, and said, "Get up for me!"
Xiao Qin refused and was powerless, "Mother, I know what you want to do. Other daughters may be ignorant, but their daughter is very clear. Her attitude when asking for help is definitely not like you."
"You...you are evil!"
Mrs. Hou, who was embarrassed by her daughter, let go of Xiao Qin's hand, lifted it up suddenly and wanted to slap Xiao Qin hard.
Xiao Qin knew that this would happen. She didn't think about hiding, but instead closed her eyes and wanted to withstand the slap.
But Ye Er is here, how could he bear to let her be beaten under his own nose?
Ye Er had a gloomy face. Before Mrs. Hou's hand fell, he grabbed Mrs. Hou's wrist and pushed Mrs. Hou back with all his strength.
Mrs. Hou staggered a few steps back. Fortunately, Anle Hou supported her in time, otherwise she would have fallen.
After stabilizing his body, Mrs. Hou glared at Ye Er, "How dare you..."
Before she could say anything, she heard Ye Er's slightly cold voice say, "Mrs. Hou forgot what she is doing? I think the princess is right. If you ask for help... you have to have the attitude of asking for help. What does Mrs. Hou think?"
Ye Er is not a soft-hearted person. He was willing to speak angrily to these two people before because they were Xiao Qin's biological parents.
But now she dared to attack Xiao Qin under his nose. He could not stand by and would not allow himself to give them a good face.
Especially when Xiao Qin was so close to him, he could clearly see the slap marks on her face.
I was pretty good when I left the teahouse today, but now there are such obvious traces. I don’t need to think too much to think that this must be played by Mrs. Hou.
Judging from her natural movements when she raised her hand just now, she seemed to be hitting her frequently.
It seems that the Anle Hou Mansion is no longer suitable for Xiao Qin.
After being threatened by Ye Er, Mrs. Hou was indeed swallowing the words she was about to blurt out.
Xiao Qin looked at Ye Er, and the emotion in her eyes was about to emerge, but in order not to make her mother too embarrassed, she still spoke, "Mr. Ye, I know this is a very difficult thing, but now the only person who can help our Anle Hou Mansion is Lord Ye. Please ask Lord Ye to help. As long as Lord Ye can help this, Xiao Qin is willing no matter what Xiao Qin wants to do."
In fact, she also knew very well that with Ye Er's identity and with his face in front of the emperor, what kind of woman does he want?
Their Anle Marquis Mansion has long been a down-and-out Marquis Mansion. If it weren't for the hereditary title, they would be nothing.
So she knew very well that the Anle Hou Mansion now is not worthy of being compared with the favored Ye Mansion.
Thinking of this, she added, "As long as Lord Ye is willing to help, Xiao Qin is willing to sell herself as a slave and serve Lord Ye for the rest of her life."
"Qin'er!"
"Xiao Qin!"
As soon as the words of selling oneself as a slave were made, Anle Hou and Mrs. Hou could not collapse immediately.
The two of them shouted at the same time, but Xiao Qin seemed to be unable to hear it. She only looked at Ye Er, and just wanted to solve the problem quickly.
Her face is not as thick as her mother, and she can't do anything to cheat others.
Is there any rumors about her and Ye Er in Beijing? Ye Qing, what her mother said was nothing but compiled by herself.
But she understood that there was no free lunch in the world.
If you want Ye Er to help, you have to pay a certain price. Marrying her is obviously a loss, so she doesn't expect to be Ye Er's wife, but it's okay for her servants.
