As Li Xiu’e walked towards her again, she stretched out her delicate little hand and pointed to a woman hiding in the corner, a woman with vacant eyes and a dull expression.

The woman looked around her fifties, dressed in shabby clothes and thin in frame. Realizing Su Qingluo was pointing at her, she revealed a palpable sense of surprise.

“That woman is also a servant of a nobility. Her masters broke the law so she and her family were implicated and sold. She is a widow with no children.” “These types are the best. They aren’t tied down by familial responsibilities, have no worries. Once they are with a new master, they devote themselves completely to work. If the customer is interested, I can give you a slight discount.”

The matchmaker who had just seen Li Xiu’e let go of the mother and daughter pair was somewhat appreciative of her and wanted to cultivate a good relationship for future business. “If the customers need servants in the future, you can send someone to look for Madam Ma in West Alley.”

“We’ll take her.”

Despite Su Hu not understanding why Su Qingluo set her sights on this plain-looking woman, he placed his trust in her and made the decision on the spot.

“Very well, customers need to be decisive, and Madam Ma is straightforward herself. Let’s settle on a price of thirteen taels of silver.”

Closing two deals in a row, the matchmaker grinned happily, revealing a mouthful of prominent white teeth which looked rather unsettling.

Su Hu and Li Xiu’e didn’t hold much fondness for the matchmaker involved in the business of human trafficking. They paid the money, signed the contract, and left West Alley with their children and the woman.

Located near Mingshui Academy, their house was a small, two-sectioned courtyard. The front and back courtyards combined had seven tile-roofed rooms, with climbing roses under the walls that filled the yard.

There were two trees in the yard: a pomegranate tree and a parasol tree. There was a deep well near the entrance of the front yard.

A servant from the agency bragged that the well was magical and had never dried up for nearly a hundred years, regardless of how drought-stricken the weather was.

The seven tile-roofed rooms were relatively new; the windows were bright and clean while the rooms contained several pieces of old furniture, gathering quite a bit of dust.

Buying the house, furnishing it, cleaning the yard, and sorting out everything was labor-intensive work.

Su Hu and his wife did not want their children to be burdened, hence they first sent them back to the inn. They then busied themselves with the woman, arranging their new home.

The woman’s surname was Wang, she was deft and considerate.

She helped in buying furniture, bedding, pots, and pans, and other necessities. She took initiative in cleaning and cooking, which greatly reduced Li Xiu’e’s workload.

Su Hu and his wife were very pleased with her and felt relieved that they had taken their daughter’s advice in hiring such an efficient helping hand.

With Madam Wang around to help with housekeeping and keep an eye on the house, they were able to leave Sister Qiao alone to study in the county with peace of mind.

After a day of tidying up, everything was finally in place. The couple planned to leave the inn and move with their children back to their own house.

In the evening, Su Hu drove his cart to the inn to pick up the children. Just as he was about to park his cart and enter the inn, a young attendant exited the medical hall from the opposite side and stopped him.

The attendant told him excitedly that the injured woman had regained consciousness.

Upon hearing that the woman was awake, Su Hu stared blankly at first, but then a trace of seriousness passed across his face and he rushed upstairs to look for his daughter.

At that moment, Su Qingluo was in her room, massaging Little Baby and using her spiritual power to help him expel toxins.

During the massages, Little Baby was especially obedient. Although he was only a little over two years old, his childlike instinct allowed him to understand that his sister was massaging him for his own good.

After each massage, his stomach would feel comfortable and warm, and the intense pain would no longer bother him..
