Chapter 205 Persuasion
If the matter of Mingyue Villa were to be spread to the world, it would be known to everyone in the world within a day.
But the place where the villa is located is not where one can get there in a day just because one wants to.
With Su Xia's arrangement, Bai Sui'an never saw the enthusiastic side of the servants in the mansion again.
Everyone was very depressed.
Even if Su Xia arranged for them to work elsewhere in the future, the original servants still wanted to stay in the villa and continue serving their master.
I heard that Xu Hongxiu and his wife had no plans to leave the villa. They dismissed the servants because they felt they were old and wanted to live a quiet life.
I just kept a few people with good skills around me.
Bai Sui'an didn't figure out the purpose of this strange arrangement until the next day.
The banquet started in the afternoon. Guests arrived with invitations in the morning, had tea and strolled around the villa, chatted around the table in the afternoon, and started the banquet in the evening.
Su Xia arranged for Bai Sui'an to appear again at noon.
Bai Sui'an got up early and listened to the news brought back by the girls in her own yard.
It is said that there were many people coming in the morning.
Bai Sui'an munched on a pear he had picked from the space and asked, "How many people are there?"
Ah Hong recalled for a moment and said, "About twenty people."
"How's the interval?"
"Although they arrived in batches, the intervals between them were not long. They all seemed to know each other, and after arriving, they started chatting in groups of three or four."
"Where's the back?"
"I watched for a long time, but no one came, so I came back to tell you."
Ah Hong blinked, seemingly not understanding why Bai Sui'an asked about the interval between the guests' arrival.
Bai Sui'an smiled and said nothing, but asked Ah Hong to remind the other girls to stay away from the people who would arrive later and to pay attention to their own safety.
Although Ah Hong was confused, she did as she was told.
After tidying up her clothes, Bai Sui'an asked A Zi and A Qing to accompany her to find Su Xia.
While Xu Hongxiu was outside chatting with the guests, Su Xia mostly arranged the servants in the backyard.
Seeing Bai Sui'an coming, Su Xia was obviously a little confused: "Why are you out now? You'll be tired later, won't you take a rest?"
"I rested enough yesterday, it's okay." Bai Sui'an walked to Su Xia's side naturally, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There are so many servants in the mansion, it's not your turn to work." Su Xia simply took Bai Sui'an's arm and took him away.
"The servants are all going to be dismissed. Won't it be my turn to work from now on?"
Su Xia glanced back at A Zi and the others, then lowered her voice and asked Bai Sui'an, "Did they tell you everything?"
Bai Sui'an was afraid that Su Xia would blame others, so he said, "You let those girls stay with me. How can they hide things at their age? I pressed them a few times and they confessed everything."
"Besides, you let the seven of them protect me. My skills are not enough. What's your intention? You always have to tell me in advance. What if I keep guessing and something goes wrong?"
Su Xia cast a look back, and A Zi and A Qing understood and stayed where they were waiting.
Bai Sui'an was taken to a small pavilion by Su Xia, and there was no one around.
"I originally wanted to tell you when you left, but since you've guessed it, I might as well tell you in advance."
Su Xia pulled Bai Sui'an to sit down, and even though there was no one around, she lowered her voice.
"I want you to leave the villa secretly after today. Don't tell anyone that you've left. I've arranged for skilled people to stay here. We'll delay for as long as possible."
"Do you want to be a sitting duck here?" Bai Sui'an summed up the purpose of Su Xia and her husband in one sentence.
"Ah."
"Are you crazy? Your life is not life anymore?"
This is what Su Xia said to her before: Whose life is not life?
Bai Sui'an understood Xu Hongxiu's intention, which was to use her name to tie Mingyue Villa together. One was the largest force in the martial arts world, and the other was a princess of a fallen country.
When the two parties come together, the suspicious Gong Chang will definitely think that Bai Sui'an wants to rise to prominence by relying on the power of Mingyue Villa.
Someone will definitely be found to kill her.
Su Xia felt somewhat relieved. She took Bai Sui'an's hand and patted the back of her hand, saying, "We two have already offended most of the people in the martial arts world in the past. Now that we are old, there will always be enemies who come to seek revenge. Sooner or later, we will die."
"But Ruirui is already married, and the prince of Qianheng said he would protect her with his life, so we can rest assured. Now it's about taking you in as our adopted daughter. You've already helped our Xu family a lot. Since we want you to be my daughter, we, as your parents, can't risk your life."
After a few days at Mingyue Villa, the servants all called Bai Sui'an "Second Miss". From the very beginning, Xu Hongxiu and his wife never mentioned the idea of adopting a daughter.
But Bai Sui'an still thought that the couple agreed to adopt her as their adopted daughter because of Ye Zihu's plan.
While she was in a trance, Su Xia continued, "You are the only one left in your family. Ruirui will be with you in Qianheng Imperial Capital in the future. You two sisters will support each other, and our spirits in heaven will also..."
"Don't say such unlucky things while you're still alive."
Bai Sui'an interrupted her, "Don't be so presumptuous as to think you can survive without your sister. You must have seen what she looked like when she was sick before. If this happens to family members you've known for less than ten years, what about the parents who raised you since you were a child?"
"That's the trouble left behind by the Tianxuan royal family. I'm just dealing with my own family affairs. There's no reason for me to risk someone else's life."
Bai Sui'an herself is also cruel and ruthless, but she still knows who should die and who should live.
Su Xia was moved because Bai Sui'an's words reminded her of her daughter who was seriously ill not long ago.
Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. I consulted many doctors and used countless precious medicinal materials, which was just to keep me alive.
If I really die, my daughter will be heartbroken...
She slowly closed her eyes, placed the back of her hand against her forehead, and exhaled heavily.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that my daughter will be unable to get over it.
Bai Sui'an persuaded her.
"After the banquet, you two can talk. We still have time tonight."
This only temporarily resolved one question, and Bai Sui'an asked again: "What about the seven girls?"
"They all grew up under Ruirui's watch. Some of them have lost their families, while others only have one close relative left. After all, they are children of the underworld, so they are open-minded and always want to go out and broaden their horizons.
You and Ruirui need help in Qianheng. They have some skills and can help with difficult tasks outside. Once you bring everyone back to Qianheng, your sister will make the arrangements."
"What about their families?"
Su Xia smiled and said, "They are all people with injuries and mobility issues. They all live together just to save our daughter the trouble of going out to play."
She held up her face, her smiling eyes full of Bai Sui'an's shadow, and said,
"You've guessed it, right? The guests who just arrived are all good friends from the martial arts world that Mingyue Villa has made over the years. They're here to help you out of our Xu family's honor. I'll take you to see those people later, and they'll be able to help you with other things in the future."
