husband's family."Pan Hongyan had just asked Ren Bang to inquire about their identities. It was because of this that he began to suspect Ginger's motives.Perhaps they want to return to the capital wi...Okay, we'll take it!

Ginger directly and readily took out the silver. The price wasn't expensive, and she didn't want to waste time.

The peddler immediately burst into a wide smile, happily pocketed the silver and even recommended:

"At the front, there were carriage sellers and pawnshops. The family at the very back was the most honest."

Thank you!

Ginger stroked the horse's head, and the horse seemed to know that from now on this would be its new owner. It even glanced at Ginger kindly.

The two of them followed the peddler's directions to a nearby carriage yard. With a large family, Ginger naturally chose the biggest carriage.

For twenty taels of silver, the peddler even helped pack it up. Ginger wrapped smiled with satisfaction at the freshly baked vehicle.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"

Song Jiuli, with an unwilling hand still on the horse's mane, was just about to climb into the carriage when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Jiang Wan noticed her dazed expression and asked, "Lier, what's wrong"

"Sister-in-law, that girl is Xia Chan, my former personal maidservant."

Song Jiu'li stared blankly at the girl in the distance. The summer cicada looked rather disheveled. Jiang Wan followed her gaze.

Suddenly, their eyes met. The person was taken aback at first, then saw Song Jiuli.

"Miss!"

She screamed and was about to run towards Song Jiuli, but suddenly she was pulled back by the little maid beside her.

"Young lady, you mustn't wander around aimlessly."

"Miss, please help me!"

Xia Chan screamed madly, Jiang Wan noticed that Song Jiuli beside her was a little moved. She didn't say anything.

Until Song Jiuli couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, can I go take a look"

Go.

Jiang Wan pulled the carriage and stood there, watching Song Jiuli walk away. She didn't know what they had said to each other. When she came back, Song Jiuli had a dejected look on her face.

"Sister-in-law, Xia Chan was sold to a brothel. Now..."

At the time of the raid, all the servants were sold off together. It seems all the women were sent to work as prostitutes.

"She asked you to redeem her"

Ginger actually had guessed the other party's request. For someone who entered the brothel, this was her lifelong desire.

"Yes!"

Song Jiuli lowered her eyelids, "Xia Chan and I grew up together. Although we are master and servant, we are more like sisters."

"But I... really can't help her right now."

Speaking and speaking, tears welled up in Song Jiu Li's eyes. Jiang Wan thought, if she hadn't saved Xia Chan, she would probably be filled with guilt for her whole life.

"This is the silver your brother gave me. Whether or not you want to save him is up to you."

Ginger wasn't a saint, but the silver in her hands rightfully belonged to the Song family. She honestly told them about it.

As for the choice, it wasn't her doing, but rather up to Song Jiuli herself.

"Xia Chan said he wanted fifty taels."

Song Jiu Li bit her lip, for the old her, fifty taels might just be a pair of earrings.

For her now, fifty taels is enough for many days of use.

Well, there is.

Ginger handed her a silver note, "Saving people is your own choice, and you have to take responsibility for what happens afterward."

Can those who enter the fireworks display still maintain their original intentions Ginger Wan doesn't dare to guarantee.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Song Jiuli excitedly clenched the silver note in her hand, "Just consider it borrowed from Big Brother and Sister-in-law."

I will definitely repay you all, and I believe in Natsumi.

"Hmm."

Ginger remained silent, she probably would have saved her old friend if she were in that situation.

But she wouldn't trust Song Jiu Li with her whole heart like that, because people are always the hardest to figure out.

Song Jiuli walked away anxiously, not knowing what she had said to the other party.

He soon returned with Xia Chan and the little girl, Song Jiu Li hurriedly said:

"This is my sister-in-law, she knows you. She's the one who paid for your silver."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xia Chan was about to kneel down in excitement, but Jiang Wan quickly stopped her. "There's no need to be so formal when we're out and about," she said.

"Can you take us to find the madam of the brothel"

"Okay." Xia Chan quickly brought them to the front of a brothel. She went in for a while, and then came out with an old madam. óy.

This madame's eyes were sizing up Jiang Wan and Song Jiuli, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you here to redeem Xia Chan"

The madam held a handkerchief in her hand, smiling and staring intently at Ginger. Her eyes were almost bulging out of her head.

"Yes."

Ginger frowned and gave Song Jiuli a look. She then passed the silver note to the brothel madam.

"This is silver."

This summer cicada isn't like others.

The brothel madam carefully examined the silver note, "She was a servant sold by my family's enemies. Fifty taels of silver won't do."

"Do you want to raise the price"

Ginger was a little angry, it was clear that the madam had done this on purpose. She snatched the silver back.

"Well, we were just looking to see what she had going for her. If you don't want to let her go, keep her then."

She winked at Song Jiu Li, Song Jiu Li though didn't know why Jiang Wan said that, but still cooperated and turned around to leave.

The cicada cried out impatiently, "Miss, miss... Don't leave!"

"

Oh oh oh, don't rush off.

"

The madam wanted to touch Ginger's braids, but Ginger skillfully dodged her. Ginger looked coldly at the madam, scaring the madam so much that she retracted her hand.

"Alright, you take them away."

Actually, she only spent a few ounces of silver to buy this girl. Besides, her looks are just average. It's better to just redeem her and take her away.

"Jiuli, take people away."

Ginger handed the silver note to the madam, who smiled and said to Ginger:

"You're quite a pretty girl. Why don't you come and perform in our place"

"Bah bah bah, my sister-in-law wouldn't come to your building!"

Song Jiuli angrily scolded the madam, "How could you do this You're encouraging a decent girl to become a prostitute!"

"Alright, no more talking, let's go."

Jiang Wan was too lazy to waste time here, so she took Song Jiuli and Xia Chan away.

The old madam still stood regretfully at the brothel's gate, watching the carriage drive away.

"Then the mother likes pretty girls, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."

Xia Chan opened her mouth cautiously, afraid that Jiang Wan would get angry. However, Jiang Wan wouldn't get angry over such a small matter.

She bought quite a few foodstuffs and everyday necessities in town, and then met up with Xiao Deng at the city gate.

Seeing the cicada, Xiaodeng was a little stunned. Ginger casually explained, "This is someone we just bought."

It's not like you redeemed her from a brothel, is it

"Oh oh."

Little Deng didn't take it to heart either. The crowd rushed toward the main force. Jiang Wan drove the carriage outside, while Song Jiuli warned Xia Chen in the back.

Now our family is headed by your sister-in-law. You should show her respect and not overstep your bounds.

"Don't worry, miss. Summer Cicada has saved enough."

Xia Chan, having lost her innocence, lowered her head in shame. In the past, when she was still pure and innocent, she dared to dream of a position in the Prince's courtyard.

Now that she is a woman of the courtesan quarters, where would she dare to have any improper thoughts

Actually, Song Jiuli didn't know that Jiang Wan had sharp ears and had listened to every word of their conversation.

But she pretended not to hear.

As they returned to the main group, Jiang Wan seemed to see someone kneeling before Song Jiu and his companions from afar.ster Lin"Song Jiu's gaze was deep as he looked over. His voice was light, seemingly without any other meaning, yet Ginger WAN inexplicably felt that he seemed a little unhappy.But she's always been st...
