Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 267

"You're not much better than her. Alright, alright, stop bothering me here. I'll take the thank you gift, and you can leave now."

Yu Qian gathered the ginseng that Eunuch Chen had prepared for the child into his arms, waved his hand, and didn't want to say any more to her.

The child had no choice but to leave.

Yu Qian's status in Huoyang Sect is not high.

Although the title of protector sounds serious and powerful, in fact... he is just a servant.

Although their surname is Yu, it was just given to them by their master.

There are always some children in aristocratic families whose ancestors have been slaves for generations. Among these people, the capable ones will be sent to serve their masters, and the most outstanding and trustworthy ones will become their masters' protectors.

Yu Qian has such an identity. His master is Yu Shuyu, the third daughter of the leader of Huoyang Sect.

Princess Jia didn't know what to do with Yu Qian. It didn't seem worthwhile to thank him for a servant, but not thanking him would seem impolite.

He simply ignored it, took care of the child with good food and drink, and waited for the child to thank him himself.

She felt relieved after the child went there, but she didn't want to see her.

After hearing the servant's report, Princess Jia just waved her hands in an upset manner and said, "Come on, a little girl is crazy, what's there to see? Let her go."

"Yes." The maid responded and took a few steps back to leave. She changed her mind again, holding the hairpin.

"Hey, wait, give her ten slaps on the hand and make her kneel for half a day before letting her go. Also warn everyone else to remember this lesson and be more careful with their words and actions in the future and avoid causing trouble. If anyone does it again, they will be sold out."

"Yes." The maid went out, took the ruler, spanked the child ten times, led her to the sun, and made her kneel down.

The child knew before coming that he would not get any good results, and he had nothing to complain about, so he just knelt down obediently.

With her physique, this little punishment wasn't a big deal, but it was very embarrassing. Everyone who came in and out could see her.

On the other hand, Haitao also got into trouble, but she didn't receive any punishment.

He was still following Princess Ming with his mother Hai Yin Hui, and when he came to this courtyard, he secretly winked at her.

Child: ...Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel nauseous.

The child's brain was really stupid and his knowledge was limited, so he only saw that one of them was punished and the other was not, but he didn't understand that Princess Ming would set up this arena regardless of whether the two of them fought or not.

Of course, she didn't do it just for fun. She was a princess, not an emperor. She couldn't show off her power as she pleased in her own territory, let alone outside. She must have her reasons for doing so.

Princess Jia was slow to react, and no matter how dumb she was, she could still understand things a little bit given her position. But that didn't stop her from taking her anger out on the child.

Princess Ming, wanting to save the child, said, "I think the child kneeling in the yard looks familiar. She seems to be the one playing with Hai Tao. What happened to her?"

"Oh, well, she did," Princess Jia said with a smile, not wanting her sisters-in-law to get involved in her affairs. "It's not a big deal. It's just that children tend to be clumsy and break things. I'm punishing her to teach her a lesson, so they don't get lazy and become so careless."

"It's inevitable for children. There's no need to be angry with them."

"My fourth sister-in-law has a kind heart and her subordinates are all smart, but she didn't know that those in my family would turn the tables if she left them alone for a moment."

Princess Jia refused to give in, and Princess Ming understood and stopped trying to persuade her. The two of them left while talking affectionately.

The new platform has been set up, and a few more have been built to speed up the process. Protective talismans have also been posted around it to prevent an incident like what happened yesterday where a kitchen knife flew directly into a crowd of people.

When the child was kneeling, the people who had signed up had already started fighting.

She knelt for half a day, counted the ants for half a day, and fought for half a day, comparing them all.

Prince Ming and Prince Jia, who did not show up yesterday, also went to take a look.

The leader of Huoyang Sect also showed up.

Some people signed up at the last minute.

When the child got up, the fighting was going on at the four city gates, and Yundou could hardly keep up.

But she still came back to share the intelligence she had gathered with the child: "That Haitao who was causing trouble with you was really amazing. You spent so much time dismantling it yesterday, but he knocked his opponent into the ring with just a few punches. There was a huge hole in the ring. Then one of the people who came up accidentally stepped on empty air, and the other person took advantage of the opportunity to knock him unconscious with a stick and throw him off the stage. It was so funny."

Amidst Yundou's laughter, the child belatedly remembered what Haitao had said to her that day.

She said they would only be happy if they defeated Princess Ming, but she didn't say anything about Princess Jia.

Today, the child saw that Princess Jia clearly didn't care about these things, but as for Princess Ming...does her caring have anything to do with the child?

Even if Princess Ming was happy and liked her, she couldn't help her when she was punished because she was from Prince Jia's Mansion.

Haitao must be lying again!

The child said indignantly, "What's so great about her punches and kicks? Her deception skills are the best. If you had brought her with you when you were selling talismans, you would have become rich by now."

Yundou knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. She burst out laughing as soon as she asked, "How could you be so stupid? You believed all this and even went to ask that eunuch if what she said was true. Can't you see that they are in cahoots?"

Child:……

"I didn't think of that! Those two people didn't look very familiar!"

The child also couldn't believe that two people would inexplicably team up to deceive her...

"This world and its people are so sinister..."

The child hugged the pillow sadly.

Yundou disagreed. "Didn't Eunuch Chen say long ago that there are a lot of scammers out there? I saw a lot of people pretending to be that beggar today, men, women, young and old, all kinds of people. Everywhere you look, you hear the saying 'Good people have a peaceful life'. It's so obvious, but there are still a bunch of fools who fall for it. Don't be too sad, you're definitely not the stupidest one."

Yundou patted her shoulder comfortingly, then said, "I'm leaving now. It's so lively outside, I need to go check it out. You just stay inside and don't run around. When the list of contestants for the second round comes out, I'll help you take a look. Is this how your name is written?"

The kidney bean scratched the air, and the child nodded: "That's right."

"That's fine. I'm leaving now. If you're hungry, take this to fill your stomach. I'll get you some food in the evening."

She was kind enough to leave a very flat bun, but I don’t know what she had been through.

The child choked a little when eating.

What made her even more upset was that Qiu Xin had come out yesterday, but today she seemed to have disappeared without a trace, not making a sound. The child called for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

She said, "Are you there? What if you say even one word? If you don't say anything, I'm going to use force."

Word for word, Qiu Xin said, "Get lost!"

Child: “What did you say?!”

Qiu Xin's head popped out from the banner and roared loudly: "I said get out! You liar!"

The child was frightened and threw the banner away with his hand.

The head that popped out of the banner was thrown far away.

Qiu Xin: ...
