Chapter 4272 Contract of Sale

Xiao Tao said: "The slave will obey the princess's instructions, but..."

This was both a deed of sale and a silver note. Compared with what the princess needed her to do, it was too expensive.

Mother Jiang reached out and took the deed of betrayal, tore it into pieces with two clicks, and said with a smile: "Our master doesn't like threatening people. The reason why I got the deed of betrayal and returned it to you is just because I don't want Miss Tao to be threatened by others. I hope Miss Tao Understand our master’s sincerity.”

Xiao Tao looked at the confetti falling everywhere, her eyes turned red, and she slowly knelt down, "Thank you, princess."

When she was young, her family was poor and she was sold to the Jin family as a slave. Now, more than ten years later, she has finally regained her freedom.

This feeling is truly indescribable.

Mother Jiang stretched out her hand to help her up and said with a smile: "Take these bank notes. You can go home or stay in Kyoto to do some small business in the future. If you really have no place to stay, come to me and I will give you some money." You arrange to work in the princess's mansion. Our master is a famously generous person, and I guarantee that you will be more comfortable than elsewhere."

Xiaotao lowered his head and said nothing.

Mother Jiang smiled and said: "I'm not the one behind the scenes. To be fair, if you follow Aunt Jinlu, what's the way out? Okay, the little princess has been at Li's house for two days, and she has to ask Miss Tao to take care of her. Our master Knowing that Miss Xiao Tao is a smart person, she will definitely be able to do it."

Xiao Tao whispered: "Mom goes back to give me a message. Princess, please rest assured. The princess is very kind to the slave. Even if she risks her life, the slave will protect the safety of the little princess."

"That's good."

Mother Jiang handed her the basket in her hand and took away her empty basket.

Xiao Tao was puzzled.

Mother Jiang smiled and said: "You came out to buy things. You can't go back empty-handed after such a long time. I'll go back first."

Mother Jiang left the alley with brisk and neat steps.

Xiao Tao looked at her back, somewhat doubting that she was someone who knew martial arts.

However, it is not unusual for someone to be sent out to do things by the Princess Mansion and be able to learn martial arts.

Xiaotao lowered her head and looked at the contents of the basket, some rouge gouache and two packages of dried fruit snacks.

Among them, the package of golden candied fruits was something that Aunt Jin had wanted to eat for several days. Unfortunately, the store that sold the most authentic ones was too popular, so she had to queue up to grab it.

Every day, they were robbed early by the domestic slaves of various high-ranking families.

Today's Li family cannot be snatched away.

Xiao Tao didn't expect that there was a large package in the basket handed over by Jiang's mother.

She sighed, bent down to pick up the scraps of paper on the ground, and after putting them together, she squatted on the ground and looked at them silently for a long time, until she saw her eyes were sore and she shed a few tears.

Finally, she tore the shredded paper into pieces like snowflakes, until she could no longer read half of the words on it. Then she stood up with the basket and hurried back to Li's house.

"I went out and wandered for a long time, and then I came back."

When Jin Lu saw her, she scolded her.

Since losing her child and mother, Jin Lu's temper has become increasingly irritable and bad.

Even though Xiao Tao was the only maid left by her side, she didn't cherish her at all, beating and scolding her at every turn, and threatening to sell her into a brothel.

Usually Xiaotao just endures it silently.

Today she didn't resist or defend, but she felt completely different in her heart.

She knew that she was no longer Jin Lu's slave.

As long as she wants to leave, neither Jin Lu nor the Li family can stop her.

The reason why she is still here is just to complete the mission of the princess and take care of the little princess.
