The streets of the capital were bustling with people. Some were rushing forward, some were leisurely strolling, and some were haggling. It was a bustling scene.
A young girl appeared in the crowd. She had a standard oval face and fair skin. Under her curved willow-like eyebrows was a pair of big eyes. Her cherry mouth was a little red. People passing by, regardless of gender, could not help but take a second look.
The girl seemed to have no purpose. She held a small bag in her hand and walked and stopped. At this moment, a few people walked over from the front. They were charging around. One look and one could tell that they were not good people.
One of them had a fat head and big ears. His fat body shook up and down with the movement of his body.
The moment he saw the beautiful girl, his eyes immediately lit up like a wolf meeting a sheep. He rolled his eyes and swept them back and forth on the girl's body, almost drooling.
His fat body uncontrollably walked towards the girl and grabbed her fair and delicate hand.
"Why is such a beautiful girl alone? Come home with me and I'll guarantee you a good life. How about it?”
The fat man said as he touched her.
"Young master, I don't know you. Please let go of me.”The girl's voice was delicate and soft, and it was lovable.
"You don't know him? Then we know each other now. Let's go. Follow this young master and let this young master love you!”
The young girl panicked and dodged backward. However, a weak girl was not a match for the fat man. She was pulled back just as she dodged.
The young girl began to sob.
There were many people watching the show, but no one dared to come forward to help. It was not that they did not have sympathy, but they were really afraid of the fat man.
His name was Wu Shuo. He was known for his bullying and evil deeds. His father was an important official in the court and held great power. No one dared to provoke him. When the commoners were wronged, they could only endure it.
Just as Wu Shuo was about to make a move, he heard a cold voice behind him.
"Who is so bold as to dare to act recklessly at the feet of the Son of Heaven?”His voice was calm and emotionless.
Wu Shuo turned his head unhappily. The person who spoke was tall and slim, with a delicate face. Only his eyes were fierce, but at this moment, he was smiling slightly.
When the young girl saw that someone had come to help her out of the predicament, she took the opportunity to run behind the man and said gently," Young Master, please save me. I will repay Young Master's kindness as a slave."”
The handsome man nodded and didn't say anything. He just looked at Wu Shuo.
Wu Shuo was stunned for a moment. His intuition told him that this handsome man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. However, when he looked around and found that he was alone without any helpers, he immediately perked up and thought, Hmph, there are six or seven of us. We're not afraid of not being able to defeat you!
Thinking of this, Wu Shuo cleared his throat and said loudly," Where did this little brat come from? How dare he ruin my plans? Brothers, attack!"”
With a command, the few people behind him rushed towards the man.
The surrounding people closed their eyes and thought to themselves, It's over. Those people are all good at martial arts. Even if that person doesn't die, he will still be half-alive!
However, to everyone's surprise, they heard the shrill cries of the burly men.
Everyone opened their eyes curiously and saw that the few people who were showing off just now were lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs and rolling around.
As for the handsome man, he stood there unscathed and ignored the shouts of the few of them, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Wu Shuo was furious, he picked up a knife and slashed at the man.
The man's expression changed slightly. His smile disappeared, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
He turned his body slightly and dodged the blade. At the same time, he turned his palm and hit Wu Shuo's body. Wu Shuo's fat body fell heavily to the ground and he spat out blood.
The man looked at her coldly and turned to leave.
The girl immediately followed behind and left the market together.
"Why are you still following me? Go do what you should do, go away!”The man was a little impatient and said angrily.
The young girl was shocked, but she quickly calmed down and said," My name is Xiao Fu. I have no relatives in the capital to rely on. Young Master just saved me, and I am willing to repay you as a slave. Young Master, please take me in. I can do any job."”
The man suddenly turned around." Xiaofu? Where are your parents?"
"This servant's parents are both dead and have long passed away.”
"What's your father's name?"
"This servant's father is called Jingchuan."
Xiao Fu kept his head lowered and answered whatever was asked.
The man stared at Xiao Fu for a long time and asked," Then how did your father pass away?”
At the mention of his father, Xiao Fu felt sorrow in his heart. Tears fell from his eyes." My father was seriously ill and died without treatment.”
The man looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a complicated gaze. After thinking for a while, he said," Alright then, come with me.”
When Xiao Fu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him." Thank you for taking me in, Young Master."”
"Let's go."
The two of them walked to the most noble place in the capital, the palace.
The handsome man was Zi Mu, who had just returned to the capital. Because she was vexed, she left the palace alone to go to the market to relax. She did not expect to meet Xiao Fu.
After returning to the palace, Zi Mu called for the manager and instructed," This is the new maid, Xiao Fu. Arrange for her to be on duty in the House of Storms. Take her there later and arrange her accommodation.”
The manager quickly replied,"Yes."
"Xiao Fu, you can go down with the manager first.”
Xiao Fu bowed and followed the manager out.
After leaving with Xiao Fu, Zi Mu waved his hand and a person appeared in a flash. It was Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, I want to ask you, during the years that Jingchuan was in Yue Country, was his daughter Xiao Fu around?”
"Not here. It had always been Jing Chuan alone. It seemed that Xiao Fu did not know that Jing Chuan was taken away.”
"Oh? Was that really the case? Go now, you have to find out.”
"Yes." After saying that, Lin Yi flashed and disappeared from the hall.
Xiao Fu carefully followed behind the manager, passing through the rockery and arriving at the House of Storms. The House of Storms was a small pavilion in a corner of the palace. It was surrounded by fake mountains and trees. The environment was extremely elegant.
"Although this House of Storms is remote, it is very quiet. It is the place where the master collects rare treasures. Usually, no one is allowed to enter. It seems that Master treats you well. However, you have to be careful. Master has a bad temper. You have to be careful with your words and actions.”
"Thank you for your reminder, Chief. Little Fu had no relatives or friends here, and was all alone. In the future, he would need the steward to take care of him.”
"You're welcome. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me.”
"Thank you, Xiaofu."
After the manager left, Xiao Fu sat on the chair and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He thought about everything that had happened and missed his father and mother.
Father, mother, Xiao Fu misses you so much…
