Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

As for thirty thousand silver taels, in the past, Su Xing’er couldn’t possibly utter the words ”not expensive,” but now it was different. Before going into seclusion, Xia Hong, for simplicity, entrusted part of Hong Mansion’s financial power to her. She held over three million silver notes stamped by Cai Qiu, so to her, thirty thousand silver taels wasn’t much.

Though she had only interacted with Du Rou for seven days, among all the maids in Hong Mansion, only Du Rou suited her taste the best. As long as Xia Hong agreed, she would certainly buy Du Rou.

However, Su Xing’er was mistaken; Du Rou’s hesitation wasn’t because of the Slave Status matter.

”Miss, how could I trouble you with the Slave Status matter? The main thing is, I just heard something and I’m not sure if I should tell you.”

Su Xing’er slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Du Rou, her eyes displaying a scrutinizing gaze, and whispered, ”What is it? Just say it directly!”

Though only fifteen years old, in terms of mind and thought, Su Jing’s three brothers couldn’t compare to her. Du Rou’s hesitant expression clearly aimed to indirectly prompt her to ask, something she immediately spotted.

As Su Xing’er took the initiative to inquire, her mind had already dismissed the idea of redeeming Du Rou’s registration—she previously thought Du Rou was simple and kind, but now it appeared she had misjudged.

Unaware of this, Du Rou continued, ”Today, the city’s Law Enforcement Team pursued an escapee to the mansion’s gate. The escapee claimed to be Hu Tiejiang and not only knew the master of the house but also mentioned the young lady’s name.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xing’er was momentarily stunned, then quickly recalled the name Hu Tiejiang, her expression subtly changing.

”Was he injured and also captured by the Law Enforcement Team?”

Seeing Su Xing’er’s change in expression, Du Rou immediately realized that the person indeed knew the young lady, nodded repeatedly, with a look of joy, secretly delighted that she might earn merit.
