Chapter 418 Inexplicable favor

The passage to the underground auction is very long.

Mrs. Mei took her adopted daughter’s hand and walked for a while and then stopped.

A few people from Chuci followed, and when they saw this, they knew that Mrs. Du Tong must have something to say.

“Madam, do you have any questions?”

Chu Ci stepped forward and asked aloud.

Madam Mei nodded slightly, and continued to move forward.

“Talk as you walk.”

Chu Ci chuckled and followed.

Da da da···

The sound of footsteps echoed in the channel.

After a moment of silence, Madam Mei spoke out.

“The son is not from Xiancheng, right?”

Chu Ci nodded and said, “Ordinary merchants, come to Xiancheng to do some business.”

Madam Mei continued to ask, “What do you think of Xiancheng?”

Chu Ci smiled and said, “Very good, very beautiful.”

A smile appeared on Madam Mei’s face and said, “Yes, Xiancheng is very beautiful.”

“Especially this cross street, I am even more pleased with it.”

After a pause, Mrs. Mei continued to ask, “How did the son learn about the underground auction?”

“You know that outside the Cross Street, even the locals in Xiancheng don’t know about it.”

A different color flashed in Chu Ci’s eyes, and he followed the words and replied, “This little brother told me.”

Chu Ci pointed at Shi Liang.

Madam Mei’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and her gaze fell on Shi Liang’s body.

“Are you a city offering person?”

Shi Liang heard Madam Mei’s question, and said flatteredly, “Return to Madam, I grew up in Xiancheng since I was a child.”

Madam Mei looked at Shi Liang with a smile on her face.

“What is your name?”

“My name is Shi Liang!”

Madam Mei beckoned to Shi Liang, “Come closer and let me see.”

Shi Liang was taken aback, and subconsciously walked up to Mrs. Mei.

Madam Mei glanced at Shi Liang up and down, and said with a smile, “Yes, it’s still a handsome guy.”

Shi Liang’s face flushed when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

“Ha ha···”

Madam Mei chuckled for a while and asked, “Shi Liang, who else is in your house?”

Shi Liang replied aloud, “It’s me and my sister.”

Madam Mei’s eyes flashed when she heard the words, and her smile became even brighter.

“My sister is good!”

“Shi Liang, your brother and sister support each other, life must be very difficult, right?”

Shi Liang scratched his head and whispered, “It’s okay.”

Madam Mei pondered for a moment, and asked, “Would you like to work in the Metropolitan Mansion?”

“Both you and your sister can come.”

Mrs. Mei took her adopted daughter’s wrist and said, “My daughter has no playmates since she was a child, and she is a little introverted and lonely.”

“If your brothers and sisters come to the Metropolitan Government, it will happen that my daughter has a playmate.”

Shi Liang did not agree with Mrs. Mei’s invitation.

Because Shi Liang also knew that the bigger the family, the more rules there would be.

If my brother and sister enter the capital, their living conditions will improve a lot.

But you must also be cautious everywhere, if you accidentally anger the master of the Dutong Mansion, I am afraid that you will not even have the opportunity to beg for mercy!

“Feel sorry!”

Shi Liang said apologetically to Madam Mei, “My sister and I are living very well now, thank you Madam for missing me.”

When Madam Mei heard Shi Liang’s refusal, the smile on her face narrowed, and her expression gradually became cold.

“Is it?”

“That’s a pity!”

Mrs. Mei said a regretful tone, then she said nothing, and continued along the passage.

After the tea time, a few people from Chuci came to an empty hall.

The hall is similar to a stepped structure.

The ground sank stepwise along the sides, and finally a round stone platform was left in the middle position.

Wooden tables and chairs are placed on the stepped steps.

At this moment, many people are already sitting on their seats, drinking tea and waiting for the auction to begin.

Several people in Chuci were about to find a place to sit down, but they were stopped by Mrs. Mei.

“My son, if you don’t dislike it, you can sit with me.”

Madam Mei pointed her finger at the wall on the right hand side, where there was an artificially excavated room.

Chu Ci nodded, and walked behind Madam Mei to a private room.

The tables and chairs in the private rooms are complete, and the tea, water, and fruits are also fully prepared.

Through the windows of the private room, one could see the situation on the stone platform very well.

“Let’s eat something first.”

Madam Mei pushed tea, water, melons and fruits to the Chuci people and said aloud, “The auction should start for some time.”

Sitting beside Chuci, Leng Ruxue picked up a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chuci.

Chu Ci picked up the tea cup and tasted it by himself.

A different color flashed in Madam Mei’s eyes, calling Shi Liang to sit closer.

“Shi Liang, do you have something to eat too?”

Shi Liang sat beside Madam Mei, his expression was a little cautious.

“Thank you, ma’am.”

Madam Mei looked at Shi Liang and asked aloud, “Shi Liang, what is your sister’s name?”

Shi Liang replied, “Shi Yue, my sister’s name is Shi Yue.”

Madam Mei nodded and said with a smile, “Good name!”

“How old is your sister?”

Shi Liang replied, “I am seven years old this year.”

Madam Mei’s eyes lit up and she blurted out, “That’s great!”

“Huh?” Shi Liang looked at Madam Mei suspiciously.

Madam Mei was taken aback and explained, “I mean, your sister is about the same age as my daughter.”

“They should be able to play together.”

Looking at Shi Liang, Madam Mei smiled and said, “Shi Liang, even if you don’t go to work in the Dutong Mansion, you can let your sister go to the mansion to accompany my daughter.”

Shi Liang’s face showed a touch of surprise when he heard this.

It’s really unexpected that the majestic lady of the Dutongfu would find a child from a poor family to play with.

Shi Liang was not good at rejecting Madam Mei’s kindness, so he nodded and replied, “Thank you Madam for your kindness, and wait for my sister to get better.”

“what?!”

Madam Mei seemed surprised when she heard that Shi Yue was sick, and asked urgently, “Is your sister okay? What’s wrong with her?”

“Have you hired a doctor? Do you have money to buy medicine?”

Shi Liang was surprised at how much Madam Mei cared about her sister.

“Thank you Madam for your concern.”

“My sister just occasionally feels the wind chill, and I have seen it with the doctor.”

“I also saved money for medicine.”

Madam Mei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, “That’s good.”

“Shi Liang, if you have any difficulties, you must notify me.”

“Your sister… and you, there must be nothing wrong with you!”

Shi Liang was more and more surprised by Madam Mei’s attitude.

But facing the kindness of Madam Mei, Shi Liang couldn’t remain indifferent.

“Thank you madam!”

Shi Liang stood up and bowed to Madam Mei, “If there is a need, please trouble Madam.”

Madam Mei laughed upon hearing this, patted Shi Liang’s arm and said, “That’s right.”

“Remember that you must bring your sister to the Metropolitan Mansion to play!”

Shi Liang nodded heavily and said, “Thank you, madam, I’ve written it down.”

cough! cough! cough!

A violent cough sounded.

The little girl of the survivor of Xianzhu country suddenly coughed dryly, clutching her chest.

The little girl was pale with no trace of blood, clutching her chest and gasping for breath, as if she couldn’t breathe.
