g unknown, his eyes seemed distant. Sensing someone approaching him, he stiffened momentarily before relaxing again."Old sir," Qin Luoyan walked over and smiled, standing beside him. "This snow is hea...But, the girl's gaze was even more unexpected.

Qin LuoYan saw in the girl's eyes something familiar, just like when she had first taken the initiative to approach Fu ZiMo, a kind of desperate and resolute determination with no room for retreat.

As scenes from the past flashed through her mind, Qin Luoyan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.

All around, people were shocked. Especially the men; when they saw the girl, their previous demeanor vanished instantly and their eyes burned with desire. If they had been scolding the old woman for her shamelessness before, now they began to envy Lord Mayor's good fortune instead.

This is what people who like to gossip are like. When things don't go as expected, they easily forget their previous feelings and choose information that makes them feel more at ease.

"Lord Mayor, you might as well take this child. My old bones can't afford to raise her anymore, so let her eat a full meal with you. If you really don't want her, then I, an old woman, will just sell her right here! " The old woman cried with tears and snot, then turned to the people around her and shouted, "Whoever wants this girl, put out some silver! My old bones won't take her back today!"

To sell her own grandchildren on the street, this old woman's actions are despicable, yet the people around her remain silent, especially the men, who seem to be looking at each other, all engaged in observing.

In just an instant, Qin Luoyan saw through the coldness of human nature. She had been indignant for the child a moment ago, but now she saw him as nothing more than a piece of fat to be exploited.

However, though everyone was watching, no one stepped forward. It seemed as if everyone unconsciously looked towards the carriage. Qin Luoyan thought about it for a moment and knew the reason why no one dared to voice their opinion.

Such a beautiful girl, even men would have some thoughts. Everyone is afraid that if the city lord now has her in mind, anyone who expresses their intention to buy her at this time will offend the city lord.

The young attendant seemed just as shocked by the girl's appearance, even he wasn't sure what to do. He turned his head towards the back of the carriage, as if waiting for instructions from inside.

"How much silver does this girl cost I'll buy her."

While the townspeople were still waiting for their Lord Mayor to speak from inside his carriage, Qin Luoyan had already spoken. The moment she opened her mouth, everyone turned their attention to her. Some wore expressions of schadenfreude, others anticipation of a spectacle, while some were simply stunned by her figure and beauty.

"Well, hello there. What's going on today Each and every one of your daughters is so beautiful."

"That's right, the speaker is a beauty too. Though she's older now, she's only gained more of a woman's charm."

"A pretty girl buying a pretty girl, wouldn't this be used to vent anger when taken back I heard that the more beautiful a woman is, the stronger her jealousy, and she can't tolerate others being prettier than her."

The people around began to talk about Qin Luoyan. Perhaps because there were more people speaking, the chatter spread into the carriage and reached the ears of those inside. Even the little girl kneeling in front of the carriage couldn't help but look at Qin Luoyan.

Qin Luoyan ignored the crowd's chatter and walked to the old woman, taking out a hundred taels of silver note from her bosom and handing it over. "You said you would sell her to anyone, this hundred taels can buy several servants, I'll buy her one, you won't lose out, and this money is enough for your family to live comfortably for many years."

The old woman's jaw dropped, and for a long moment she seemed stunned. She hadn't expected that under the circumstances of offending the lord mayor, someone would actually be audacious enough to buy her out. She had only intended to provoke the lord mayor; she didn't genuinely want to sell this girl! Although her own granddaughter was a financial burden, at least she was beautiful. The old woman still hoped she could be a long-lasting source of income, so there was no way she would sell her so easily.

"Well, it seems you weren't truly going to sell this child after all Oh, I see. You were simply trying to deceive the Lord Mayor in order to get this girl into his household. You've gone through all this trouble to send her to the Lord Mayor's mansion, your intentions are not pure. What exactly are you plotting"

In a few words, Qin Luoyan put a hat on the old woman, accusing her of trying to get this girl into the City Lord's Mansion. The higher one's position, the heavier their suspicions. After Qin Luoyan's explanation, even if the City Lord wanted to take in this girl, he would have to think twice.

"Where did you come from, little girl You're talking nonsense! My wife really wants to sell this girl. It's not like what you said, that she wants to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion with ulterior motives!" The old woman was flustered by Qin Luoyan's words, her face flushed red. She was also worried that the City Lord would believe it, and her hands trembled in fear.

"If not, why did I pay such a high price, but you still wouldn't sell" Qin Luoyan sneered, engaging in verbal sparring. She wasn't afraid of anyone.

The old woman hesitated for a moment, stammering and forcing herself to say, "I'm not selling anymore, I'll sell it to you! I'll sell it to you!" The old woman snatched the silver note from Qin Luoyan's hand and got up and left, afraid that she would really be suspected by the lord mayor and cause more trouble.

The old woman pushed through the crowd and disappeared quickly. The kneeling girl, however, remained impassive throughout. After the old woman left, she slowly stood up and walked to Qin Luoyan's face, bowing slightly. "Miss," she said, "from now on, I belong to you."

When she spoke, her voice was calm, devoid of the resentment and bitterness one might expect from someone betrayed by family. In her eyes, there was a depth and world-weariness that shouldn't have been present at her age.

Qin Luoyan felt that she couldn't quite see through this girl, so she just nodded slightly without speaking. She glanced at the parked carriage. Even now, there was no sign of movement inside. It was as if there was no one in the carriage at all.

"Let's go." Qin Luoyan retracted her gaze, preparing to take the girl away from this place of trouble.

Who knew, the moment the two of them turned around, several guards rushed to their faces. One of the guards made a please gesture to Qin Luo Yan and said: “The two ladies stay here, the City Lord invites the two of you to have tea together at the Tea House.”

Qin Luo's footsteps came to a halt, her brow furrowed in displeasure. She said coldly, "What Are you saying that this free trade bothers the city lord Is this how you handle things, resorting to retribution later If you wanted to take this child, the city lord should have just said so directly. I am but an ordinary citizen, who would dare oppose the city lord Why wait until after I bought her before making a move"

She deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone around her could hear.
