Jing Yu looked at her expectant look and couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Have you seen it anywhere before?"

"No, I am a son of the family in the mansion. I have been doing things in the mansion since I can remember. Except for the few times you took me out, I have never been to anywhere."

Qian Xue shook her head and recounted her experiences.

Jing Yu nodded, "It doesn't matter. I'll take you to the market tomorrow and buy some clothing materials, jewelry and the like. If I have time, I'll take you to other places."

Qianxue pursed her lips, but couldn't stop the joy in her eyes.

The last time I went shopping with Grandma Li, I was afraid of violating a taboo, so I kept my back on my back and hid beside the carriage like a quail, and I didn't feel anything at all.

I will go with the young master tomorrow so that I can finally have a good look at it in a legitimate way.

Jing Yu couldn't help but smile more because of her influence, and then passed the meal to Qian Xue's room.

After eating, Qianxue rubbed Jing Yu's shoulders again, and Jing Yu held her in his arms again, as if he wanted to hold her to sleep.

However, for some reason, Jing Yu went back to his room with a strange expression on his face not long after he lay down.

The next day, Qian Xue woke up very early, helped Jing Yu get dressed and had dinner, and then asked Tian Meng to drive to the market.

Jing Yu didn't restrain Qian Xue, so she opened the curtain and looked around.

The surroundings were bustling with vendors selling various small things shouting about their goods. Qianxue saw it freshly, with a face full of curiosity.

Just as her carriage turned around an alley, Qian Xue saw a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

She blinked and recognized it carefully.

Finally, it was determined that the woman with a weathered face sitting at the door holding her child was the tofu seller who used to be as fresh and lovely as a flower.

The store where the young lady was sitting also looked shabby and cramped, completely different from what Qian Xue remembered.

Qianxue kept watching her and found that white hair had grown on her temples, her skin had turned sallow, and her hands holding the child were also skinny.

The child in her arms was crying loudly, with a small face turned red from howling.

But the little lady just shook her arms slowly and stared blankly ahead, as if she couldn't hear the child's cry at all.

Qian Xue's heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle. She vaguely remembered how she saw her a few years ago.

A girl as beautiful as a flower, her watery eyes are full of vigor and vitality, and her voice is clear and pleasant when greeting guests.

Her tofu-making skills were the best in the entire city, and she worked quickly and refreshingly. At that time, Qian Xue saw in her the beauty and expectation of life.

The carriage hit a stone and the car body swayed. Qian Xue's hand holding the curtain was unstable, and the curtain slipped from her hand, blocking everything.

Qian Xue clenched her hands and felt her heart swell and hurt. Liuli had told her a few days ago that this little lady was not doing well, but today she saw it with her own eyes.

She couldn't help but feel doubtful and confused about the path her mother told her.

If she leaves the house in the future and has no man to rely on, will she be like this little lady?

"What did you see? Why are you so lost?" Jing Yu suddenly said.

Qianxue was so frightened that she almost jumped up from her seat. She took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed the clothes around her heart.

Seeing her like this, Jing Yu curiously opened the curtain and looked outside, but didn't find anything unusual.

"You girl, how can you be so timid? How can you be so scared just by going out to see what's going on outside?" Qianxue ignored Jing Yu's teasing and was silent for a while before saying, "This slave just saw a familiar person. face."

Jing Yu became interested, "You haven't been out of the house very often, haven't you? Why do you see an acquaintance as soon as you go out?"

"The young master is not an acquaintance of this slave. He is the shopkeeper of a tofu shop that the old lady liked to eat when she was alive. I have met her several times."

Qianxue rejected the conclusion that she was an acquaintance, for fear that Jing Yu would overthink it.

When Jing Yu heard this, he thought about the shop and the people he just saw from the car window, and then he understood.

"That tofu lady was quite famous before, but after her father and brother died one after another, her life seemed not to be so good."

Jing Yu told Qian Xue all the relevant situations he could remember.

"Does the young master know what she is doing these days?" Qianxue asked quickly as soon as she heard that Jing Yu knew about this tofu lady.

Jing Yu sneered, "I don't like tofu, so why should I pay attention to her?"

The flame of expectation that had just risen in Qian Xue was extinguished in this way.

She still responded "yes" obediently, but the brightness in her eyes dimmed involuntarily.

Jing Yu saw that her reaction was a little big and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He thought for a long time and then patted Qian Xue's hand to comfort her.

"If you really want to know, just ask Tianmeng later. He has been walking around the streets every day for these years, and he knows a little bit about everything."

Qianxue felt Jing Yu's warm palms and saw that he could notice her emotions, and she couldn't help but feel a little more tenderness in her heart.

After a while, Tianmeng walked to the car holding two oil paper bags.

"Master, I bought some of the famous snacks and snacks from the shops nearby. You can try them on the way."

Before Jing Yu could take action, Qian Xue took them all with a wink and hugged them all to herself.

Jing Yu then asked: "That famous tofu lady before, do you know what's going on now?"

When mentioning the poor girl, Tianmeng couldn't help but sigh, "Well, since her father and brother got into trouble one after another, not only has it become much more difficult for her to do business, but those prostitutes who used to covet her beauty are also doing it every day. to harass her."

Tianmeng said and looked at the confused little lady again.

"Then I was forcibly snatched and made a concubine. I thought I would have someone to rely on. Unexpectedly, I was kicked out after being disfigured and having a big belly. Now, I can only rely on the inheritance from my ancestors. Craftsmanship, hand to mouth.”

Tianmeng shook his head as he spoke, expressing pity and sympathy.

Qian Xue's face became paler as she heard this. Jing Yu noticed that Qian Xue was in a bad state and coughed, interrupting the Tianmeng to continue gossiping.

"You kid asks about these trivial things every day. I'm afraid you won't have time to practice martial arts. You have to practice more in the future."

When Tianmeng heard Jing Yu's words, he felt bitter. When the young master was not in the imperial capital, he had become a little lazy and his kung fu had deteriorated a bit.

However, after the young master came back, he was extremely tired every day and could not practice any more.

He quickly shut up and then turned back to concentrate on driving.

Qianxue held the food with her fingers and didn't dare to exert any force, but her heart was filled with panic.
