Seeing Li Xiu’e approach her again, Su Qingluo reached out with a small pink hand and pointed to a woman hiding alone in a corner with a gloomy face.

The skinny woman was about 50 years old and in ragged clothes, and she was shocked to find Su Qingluo pointing at her, revealing a few hints of surprise.

“That woman is also an official servant. Her master committed a crime. Even the servants are involved. She is a widow without children.”

“This kind of person is the best. No family burdens, no worries. They only serve the master family single-mindedly. I can give you a discount if you intend to hire her.”

Seeing Li Xiu’e let the mother and daughter go, the servant broker had a good impression of her and wanted to get better acquainted with her to do long-term business. “If you need a servant again in the future, send someone to the West Alley to look for Mrs. Ma.”

“We’ll take her.”

Although Su Hu didn’t know why Su Qingluo had chosen the inconspicuous woman, he immediately made the decision based on his unwavering trust in her.

“Okay, that’s very generous of you. I’m also a generous person. I’ll give you 13 taels of silver for the price.”

The servant broker made two deals in a row, grinning happily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which was creepy.

Su Hu and Li Xiu’e had mixed feelings about the servant broker. Nevertheless, they paid the silver, signed the contract, and left West Alley with their children and the new servant.

The new house, located near Minshui College, had two courtyards with a total of seven rooms. Rosebuds were planted under the walls, with thick green branches climbing up the walls.

There were two trees in the courtyard, a pomegranate tree and a sycamore tree. The front yard had a deep well near the entrance gate.

The agency assistant boasted that the well had a spirit, and for nearly a hundred years, no matter how arid the weather was, the water had never dried up.

The seven rooms were new, with bright windows and some old furniture that had accumulated a lot of dust.

Buying a house, adding furniture, cleaning the courtyard, and organizing were all strenuous tasks.

Su Hu did not want the children to suffer, so he sent them back to the inn first before coming back with the servant to clean up the new home.

The servant had the surname Wang. She was very fast with her hands when working and could read the faces of her masters.

They bought furniture, bedding, pots, pans, and other necessary household items. When they arrived home, she took the initiative to organize and clean the room and cook, saving Li Xiu’e a lot of effort.

Su Hu and his wife were satisfied with her and were even more glad that they listened to their youngest daughter and brought a competent helper back.

With the help of Mrs. Wang to watch the door and do the housework, they could feel comfortable leaving Qiaoqiao alone to study in the county.

After a day of work, the room was finally clean inside and out. The couple planned to check out of the inn and take the children back to their new home.

In the evening, Su Hu drove his carriage to the inn to pick up the children. When he stopped the carriage and was about to enter the gate, a young assistant ran over from the medical school, shouting to get him to stop.

The young assistant was excited and told him the injured woman had woken up.

Hearing that the woman had woken up, Su Hu froze for a while before a hint of seriousness flashed across his brow. He rushed up to the second floor to find his little daughter.

Su Qingluo was in her room, giving the baby a massage while using her spiritual energy to help him expel poison.

The baby was always very obedient during the massage. Even though he was only two years old, he understood with childlike instincts that his sister was massaging him for his benefit.

His belly was always comfortable and warm after the massage. It would no longer be so painful.
