Chapter 556: Xian’er
Hu Jiumei shouted: “Stop your nonsense. Why are you saying that it wasn’t me who bought this? Do you have any evidence that it was not bought by me?”
Bai Zhi laughed: “Of course, I have evidence.” Then, she pointed her finger to the handmade doll and said: “All the doll’s clothes in the toy shop are designed by me. I have painted this doll’s clothes design only once. So it can be said that there is only one copy of this in the whole world. I remember it clearly. This doll is included in the batch order of a merchant from the capital. The merchant said that the dolls will be sold in the capital, and it will at least cost 5 silver coins.”
Bai Zhi paused. Seeing Hu Jiumei’s complexion drastically changed, she continued to say: “Can you afford to buy this doll for 5 silver coins?”
Hu Jiumei shouted with a pale face: “You shouldn’t look down on people. Don’t say 5 silver coins, I can even buy 10 of them a day.”
“Really? Since you are so generous with your child, why doesn’t the child have decent clothes? She may not be even wearing her own clothes! This doll belongs to this child, but you didn’t buy it. Your not this child’s mother, nor stepmother. Say, where did you abduct this child?”
She found that the child had pierced ears. Generally speaking, a little girl would not have pierced ears, unless she came from a big family.
Hu Jiumei’s legs soften. Her pale face turned green.
She stepped back a few steps and planned to slip away, but who would have thought that the Officer has long been expecting her to run away, so he immediately cut off her plan: “Tie her up.”
“Why are you tying me? Why? What crime did I commit?” Hu Jiumei cried wildly.
At this time, the little girl lying on the table woke up. As soon as she heard Hu Jiumei’s cry, her body began to tremble. Her small face was full of horror, as tears rolled out in her eyes. But she bit her lips and didn’t dare to cry out loud.
Bai Zhi hugged her: “Don’t be afraid. It’s okay, you’re okay now.”
The little girl seemed to be in a sinking boat and was forced to grab the last life-saving straw. She grabbed Bai Zhi’s clothes tightly and drilled desperately into her arms. Her whole body kept trembling.
Bai Zhi hugged the little girl for a while and waited for her emotions to calm down before asking: “What’s your name?”
The little girl was about to open her mouth, but she saw Hu Jiumei’s fierce face. She hurriedly buried her head into Bai Zhi’s arms and refused to speak.
Bai Zhi caressed her back and whispered: “Don’t be afraid, this sister already knows that you are not her child and she hurts you. You see, she has been arrested now. If you want to escape from her, you should tell me who you are, where you came from, so that we can help you find your family.”
The little girl was 5 years old. She can understand every word that Bai Zhi said. She looked at Hu Jiumei again. When she saw that she was tied up, the fear in her heart dissipated a lot, so she said: “My name is Xian’er.”
“Xian’er, what’s your surname?”
Xian’er thought for a moment and said, “They call me Ke Xianya.”
“It turns out that your surname is Ke, who else is there in your family?” She asked.
Xian’er immediately became excited: “There are father, mother, second aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, as well as elder brothers, elder sister, grandmother, Li Mama, the maidservants are Qing’er, Bao’er… …”
She said a series of family members in a row, which proved that she came from a big family. Bai Zhi asked another question: “What does Qing’er call you?”
Xian’er replied: “Qing’er calls me Miss. She is as big as you. I tried calling her sister, but she refused. She said she is just a maidservant. I don’t understand.”
