Xiao Chun also came out at some point. She naturally sympathized with the girl's plight, but at the same time, she also felt a pang for her own lady's purse.
"Our lady is just too kind," Xiao Chun said. "If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have bought her."
Forty-five coins to buy a maid was indeed cheap, but just now at the doctor's office, she had helped her lady calculate the costs. She estimated this visit would set them back more than three taels of silver.
That much silver could buy two strong serving women!
Ming Lingyi smiled. "A few taels of silver can save a life. If you had the silver, would you save them?"
"Of course I would," Xiao Chun replied almost without thinking. After she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh, a little embarrassed.
'You instinctively want to save someone, but then you feel a little regretful afterward. Ugh, people are so contradictory.'
