“Oh, oh.”

Su Hu, a hunter, had never ventured into the political circle and had little understanding of state affairs. Unable to grasp the implications, he found the agency clerk’s mysterious manner quite unsettling and decided to abandon the idea of buying a person.

While he didn’t understand, Su Qingluo did. She knew perfectly well that the ‘Lord Wei’ the agency clerk mentioned must be the same nobleman who had presented a petition not so long ago, asking the Empress to execute the Noble Lord.

How could the descendants of the loyal and virtuous be allowed to suffer humiliation on the streets of the marketplace?

“Mother.”

She called out sweetly and ran towards Li Xiu’e.

Li Xiu’e smiled in response, bending down to envelop her daughter in a warm embrace.

Su Qingluo whispered something into Li Xiu’e’s ear.

“Mm-hmm.” Li Xiu’e nodded repeatedly.

After a brief whispering session, Li Xiu’e calmly approached the matchmaker, discussing with her the details of purchasing the mother and daughter.

The matchmaker seemed delighted, itching to get rid of this hot potato. It was not every day that one met such a generous dupe. She had to make this sale at any cost.

Normally, slaves from official households were priced lower than ordinary domestic servants. Eager to make the sale, the matchmaker offered an even lower price. For fifteen silver taels, they could take both the mother and daughter.

Having paid the money and signed the contract, Li Xiu’e held the deed of sale in her hand and confidently approached the mother and daughter.

“Big sister, my Jade daughter says that doing a good deed every day will bring blessings upon our Su family.”

With a calm and kindly expression, she put the deed of sale into the woman’s hands and quietly gave her five silver taels.

“The good deed my Jade daughter asked us to do today falls upon you, big sister. Tear up this deed of sale, and you’ll be free citizens from now on. Please, take your child and leave this place of disputes.”

“Madam, Wei Huiying, together with her daughter, express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for your extraordinary kindness!”

The woman, overwhelmed with gratitude, took her daughter and knelt, bowing to Li Xiu’e.

“Oh, oh, you mustn’t do that! Please, get up.”

Li Xiu’e was taken aback by this extravagant gesture, she retreated a couple of steps, then rushed over to help the two of them up, comforting them warmly. “Big sister, you should get going. Do not linger and risk attracting unnecessary attention.”

“Thank you, madam.”

Being a practical woman, she quickly wiped her tears and, holding her daughter’s hand, turned away.

The little girl, clutching the sachet in her left hand, was pulled along by her mother for a few steps, then suddenly broke free and ran over to Su Qingluo. “My name is Wei Shumin. What’s your name, big sister?”

“Su Qingluo: ‘Qing’ as in overthrowing a country, ‘luo’ as in a fallen flower.”

With a warm smile, Su Qingluo’s childlike, radiant face resembled that of the benevolent Fortune Child bathed in Buddha’s light.

“Thank you for the sachet. I’ll remember you.”

Tears welled up in Wei Shumin’s large eyes as she looked deeply at Su Qingluo.

She then turned around and ran back to her mother.

“Hubby, there are several old women over there. Which one do you think we should choose?”

Having seen off the mother and daughter, Li Xiu’e returned to stand by the matchmaker, whispering to Su Hu.

“Ask Jade.”

He chuckled, “Our daughter always has the best ideas. She even thought of doing a good deed every day.”

He might not understand politics, but that didn’t make him a fool. He also realized from Su Qingluo’s concern for the mother and daughter that they were the descendants of a loyal and virtuous man. Their family doing a small favor might gather blessings and protect their descendants.

“Alright, I’ll ask Jade.”

Li Xiu’e was also eager to ask her daughter. As long as their daughter was there, both she and Su Hu were of one mind to follow her wishes.

“Mother, let’s choose that old woman.”

Su Qingluo, cradling Little Baby, had strolled around the courtyard, observing everyone with a keen eye, and had made her decision..
