Chapter 137 Helpless
"Xiaodie, how could you be so stupid!"

"You can't live a peaceful life until you have to come into contact with people you shouldn't have contact with."

"You are confused!"

Faced with Ah Fu's accusation, Xiaodie was naturally unconvinced, but before she could refute, she heard Ah Fu continue.

"That's all, change your clothes first, and my brother will take you out."

"This is my uncle's bedroom. There are so many people coming and going, and there are many eyes. It would be bad if he was seen."

Xiaodie also knew that her brother was worried about her.

Therefore, he did not continue to talk back, but opened a crack in the door and hooked the clothes in.

Ah Fu had already turned around to help look out for the wind. If there was any trouble, he could easily go up and take care of it.

Xiaodie hid behind the door and put on her clothes carefully.

After getting dressed neatly, Xiaodie's eyes fell on the broken gauze clothes on the ground.

She stepped forward quickly, bundled the gauze clothes together, and held them in her arms.

It seemed like this could pick up her damaged self-esteem bit by bit.

Just as he was about to open the door, he heard conversations coming from outside the house.

"Afu, why are you here?"

"You usually work outside the house, why did you end up in the back house today?"

As soon as Xiaodie heard this sound, her legs began to weaken involuntarily.

Oh no, no, no, if someone caught her climbing into her master's bed, she would be drowned in spit.

Xiaodie has no name or status now, so she can't be considered a master at all.

Others will only use this reason to belittle her.

She could only keep this matter in her stomach first, and wait until Cheng Yaozu really made her a concubine.

Anyway, she would only dare to show off her power when she was a head taller than an ordinary maid.

Before that, she had no intention of pretending to be fat.

Besides, Cheng Yaozu had just beaten her.

His attitude made it clear that he didn't like women who were too calculating.

If Xiaodie was more restless and self-reliant, she might not even have to wait to be drowned in spit, but would have to be secretly dealt with by Cheng Yaozu first.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaodie lay beside the door and stared outside cautiously.

I kept praying in my heart, hoping that my brother could give me some help and get this matter over with.

Separated by this door, both of them were extremely nervous.

Ah Fu was no better, he was afraid that the matter would be exposed accidentally.

He was already worried about Xiaodie's reputation and safety, so naturally he wouldn't let her fall into the fire pit again.

Although the words spoken by this mouth are invisible, every word can kill someone.

Xiaodie is brave, but that doesn't mean she is really thick-skinned.

Fortunately, he got wise in his haste and said to the passing maid.

"I just wanted to go find Xiaodie, and I happened to bump into my uncle on the way."

"He left something behind. Seeing my quick legs and feet, he asked me to come and pick it up."

"I've already picked it up and am about to go out."

The maid didn't think much, nodded and continued walking forward.

Ah Fu pretended to take a few steps outside, and after the maid disappeared, he hurried back.

"Xiaodie! Have you changed your clothes?"

"Come out quickly and leave here with your brother!"

Xiaodie didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly got out of it. The brother and sister slipped out like thieves.

Keep walking along the outermost path inward. This place is relatively desolate and there are few people coming and going underground.

After arriving at a safe place, the breath that the two of them had been holding was released.Xiaodie patted her chest and exclaimed that she was in danger.

But Ah Fu's face darkened, especially after seeing the mess of rags in Xiaodie's arms.

"Look at you, what you look like!"

"Before my father and mother left, they gave me numerous instructions and told me that they must take good care of you."

"To be fair, isn't my brother treating you badly?"

"Whenever I have something to eat or something to wear, I will always think of you first."

"It's better for you. You think about getting something for nothing all day long, and you take shortcuts to climb up."

Faced with his brother's scolding.

Although Xiaodie knew in her heart that it was her fault, she still didn't want to admit defeat.

Venting her anger on the people closest to her, she pouted and said.

"Yes, yes, brother is very good to me."

"But the best I can get is not worth what they see from the fingers of rich people."

"I just want to live a more comfortable life, what's wrong with that?!"

"Why are we born to be servants? I also want to be the master, and I also want others to serve me."

"Brother, don't you want to?"

Ah Fu looked at Xiaodie's confident look and felt helpless.

I was so angry that I didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Ah Fu didn't refute immediately, Xiaodie felt a little more proud.

Ah Fu couldn't care less about her little thoughts now and looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he decided to find a corner and burn the ball of clothes in Xiaodie's arms.

"Give me this thing and hold it all the way, are you afraid that others won't find it?"

"It just so happens that there's no one around right now. Let's solve it quickly."

Faced with Ah Fu's approach, Xiaodie didn't have any objections.

I saw her obediently handing the clothes to Ah Fu and silently observing the movements around her.

Ah Fu simply couldn't bear to look at it, and even holding it felt hot to his hands.

He casually dug a shallow hole in the ground and piled clothes and dry branches and leaves together.

He took out the fire stick in his arms and lit the pile of things.

As the flame burns, heat spreads out, causing the air around it to tremble.

Ah Fu's eyes stared closely at everything that was gradually dissipating, as if this could erase some traces of what had happened.

When the clothes were completely burned and only a ball of black ash was left, Ah Fu's face looked better.

"Xiaodie, I understand your reluctance, but...but you have to know that we can't beat my uncle."

"Originally, after I helped him do that, I planned to ask for some reward and take you out of here."

"Didn't you say that you no longer want to serve others? Then my brother will take you to find a small village and we can live there safely."

"Although I can't live a very wealthy life, I can ultimately rely on my own will and no longer have to look at other people's faces."

"But you...but if you do this, we will be completely trapped in Qiu Mansion!"

Hearing Ah Fu's words, Xiaodie was in a daze.

Before this, she had never thought of leaving Qiu Mansion and living by her own hard work outside.

In her world, the best way out is to climb up the big tree called Cheng Yaozu.

But now she suddenly hesitated.

Is your choice really the right choice?
Then, she quickly pushed the thought out of her mind.

She has no way out, and continuing with her original plan is the best choice.
