The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

Chapter 292 Strange Girl

On this day, Mingyue and her two siblings were on their way to Shen Ruxin's housewarming party. On the way, they heard the heartbreaking cries of a child approaching from far away.

It was really irritating, so Mingyue lifted the curtain to see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, it was just a little girl of five or six years old, walking quickly on the street with a crying baby in her arms.

"Hey, little girl, this is your brother, why is he crying?"

"Little girl, is your brother hungry? Come home quickly."

"Can't find your mother? Let me take you to report to the police."

The little girl shook her head and said nothing. She just hugged the swaddling clothes tightly in her arms and walked towards an empty corner.

"What's wrong?" Mingyang asked when he saw his sister frowning.

"Oh, there's a little girl outside, holding a baby that looks like it was just born not long ago. I wonder where she's going." Mingyue didn't look back, her eyes still fixed on the little girl's departing back.

"Mingyue, do you want to go and take a look?" Mingyang smoothed out her messy hair. "It's still early to leave anyway."

Mingyue nodded and asked the coachman outside to follow.

The little girl was seen walking further and further away, almost to a brothel. Mingyue and the others were watching from a carriage in the distance, but did not approach.

At this time, she knocked on the door of a house, and out walked a swaying middle-aged woman, her eyebrows and eyes full of romance and charm. "Why are you knocking? It's broad daylight. Don't you know that I'm doing night business?"

Looking down, he saw a pretty girl, not exactly a delicate girl, but still pretty, standing at the door with a child in her arms. She was a little annoyed, "What are you doing? You're begging at my house? Don't you even look at what I do?"

The little girl spoke calmly, "Grandma, I know what you do. Will you take in the child?"

The woman looked the girl up and down, and thought she was just barely trainable, so she nodded and said, "I'll take it."

Mingyue and the others heard everything clearly, and subconsciously assumed that this little girl was forced to sell her body due to hardship. They thought of having someone take her back to the Charity Hall. Wouldn't that be better than being a slave at such a young age?

But the next moment, he heard a woman's shrill voice again, "What? Sell him? We only accept girls here. I think you've come to the wrong place."

Seeing that everyone around couldn't help but come over to take a look, the woman quickly pushed the little girl and said, "Go away, go away, hurry up and don't cause me any trouble here."

With a "bang", the woman slammed the door shut.

Having failed to achieve her goal here, the unconvinced little girl looked at the people around her and walked towards the alley with her back bent.

"What do you mean? What does this little girl want with Mrs. Liu?"

"Sell yourself. Maybe Mrs. Liu doesn't like this kid's figure."

"No, didn't you hear her? She said she doesn't accept little boys. I'm afraid this little girl is going to sell the little brother in her arms."

"What? Is this true? If her parents knew, wouldn't they beat her to death?"

The little girl, who hadn't walked far yet, happened to hear these words. She turned around with a sinister look in her eyes. Despite her small body and tender voice, she could utter such cruel words, "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."

Although that expression only appeared for a moment, it returned to normal.

But the neighbors here were all men who did rough work. Even though they were frightened by the girl, they all kept their mouths shut and didn't cause trouble.

"This is very wrong." Mingyang stood at the shaft of the cart and witnessed the whole process, without missing the change in the girl's expression.

Mingyue felt a little chilly and rubbed her arm. "Should we intervene? Or should we ask someone to call Master Ma?"

Before Mingyang could say anything, Minghao excitedly grabbed his older brother and younger sister's hands and said, "We have to take care of it. If we encounter something, we have to take care of it. If we see injustice, we have to help! Charge!"

The brother and sister looked at each other and shook their heads. They thought, "Never mind, just join him in the fun." Besides, they were indeed worried about the baby, so they continued to follow him.

The little girl walked around the streets again, but without exception, she went to some remote alleys that were deserted and sparsely populated.

Mingyue and his companions had long since abandoned the carriage that could not enter the alley, and were carried forward by the secret guards.

Finally, after passing through dozens of alleys, the little girl finally arrived at the back door of a house.

This place doesn't look like the residence of a small family, at least it belongs to a wealthy family.

Seeing her reaching out to knock on the door, Mingyue and the others quickly hid and observed the girl's movements in secret.

At this time, a strong male voice came from the house separated by a door, "There is heaven and earth."

The girl thought without hesitation, "There are no ghosts underground."

Mingyue: What kind of new code is this? It sounds creepy.

With a creaky sound, the wooden door opened and a chubby man's head appeared from inside. He looked around cautiously, then opened the door and walked out.

"Who are you? How do you know the codeword?" The man looked a little chubby. He squinted his eyes and observed the girl.

"Don't worry about how I know this, just take the person away." The girl's cold voice reached the ears of the three siblings.

The man reached out to look at the baby in her arms, but the little girl quickly moved away, not wanting him to touch her. "Hey, let's talk about the price first. It's a boy, without any physical defects. At least ten taels of silver."

"You, you are asking for too much!" The man stomped his feet in anger.

The girl smiled slightly. "If you don't accept it, I will report you to the authorities. What you have done is enough to put you in jail for life."

"You! Okay, let me take a look at the child. I'm sure what you said is right, so I'll give you that much." The man gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, General Zhao was in Minzhou during this period and he was in charge of everything, and the buyer was pressing for money.

Seeing how readily he agreed, the girl thought it was too little, so she raised the price, "Twenty taels!"

The man's face suddenly turned bad. "You little girl, you still dare to bargain with me? Do you know what I am, Wang Er? Okay, twenty taels, both of you give it to me, hahahahaha, come on."

He ordered the people behind him to go forward and grab the girl.

But the girl reacted quickly and ran away.

Mingyue was stunned. Whether she dared to bargain with the ferocious man or remained calm in the face of danger, she did not act like an ordinary child.

Fortunately, the little girl worked a lot on weekdays and had good physical strength. In addition, the baby was too small and weighed little, so the girl ran very fast.

However, the child in her arms kept crying, and no matter where she ran, the man behind her could catch up with her.

The girl ran to the crowded street. Now the men didn't dare to chase her. They stomped their feet and turned back.
