The senior manager could not bear to scare the poor mother and daughter any further, so he kindly said:

“Our young master wants to make some compensation for the mistakes he made.

When she learned that you and your children were suffering in your husband's house, she sent me to buy you out.

But don't worry, my master has ordered that your indentures will be returned to you. You and your daughter are now free.

Moreover, I will take you to meet my son, and he will arrange your future life."

Qiu Yingying couldn't believe this was true.

Qiu Yingying will be nineteen in one month and nine days. In just nineteen years, she has experienced all the sufferings of the world.

Life has always been sad for her.

Qiu Yingying was a person with a miserable life. When she was three years old, her mother had a massive hemorrhage while giving birth to her younger brother, resulting in two deaths. Qiu Yingying no longer had her mother's love.

The father was devastated by the loss of his wife and son, and sighed all day long. He only showed concern for Qiu Yingying occasionally. Most of the time, Qiu Yingying was the poor little thing in the family.

My grandparents were still alive at that time, but they didn't like this unlucky granddaughter who brought death to her mother from the bottom of their hearts.

When Qiu Yingying's father was at home, Qiu Yingying could still have enough food. Her father worked odd jobs outside most of the time.

Without her father's care, her grandmother and aunt never let her have enough to eat and assigned her chores. Fortunately, she grew up safely.

One day when she was nine years old, Qiu Yingying's father fell in love with a widow and she became pregnant. She consulted a doctor and the doctor said it was a boy.

Mr. Qiu wanted to marry the widow, but unexpectedly, the widow asked for five taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

For the sake of his son, Qiu's father agreed. He worked very hard to save enough money. As a result, it was reported that the widow had been caught having sex with someone else. It was also confirmed that the child in the widow's belly was also someone else's.

In a rage, Qiu's father fought with the widow's lover. As a result, Qiu's father beat the lover to a disability. Qiu's father was also sentenced to exile. Now it has been almost ten years, and my father will be able to come back in half a year.

During the years when Qiu Yingying was without her father's care, hunger, scolding, trafficking, and abuse were common experiences.

Family members and neighbors all called this innocent child a jinx, a jinx, and a disaster...

After getting married, I was called a bitch, a slut, and a whore by my husband's family... all kinds of dirty words were on the lips of my husband and sister-in-law. If I resisted in the slightest, my husband would beat me up.

Since she was nine years old, no one has ever thought about her. It is difficult for people who have never been treated with kindness to believe in the kindness of others.

In particular, this kindness came from Mr. Jin, whom she had reported to the authorities, which made her dare not take it seriously.

Moreover, Qiu Yingying knew that her daughter was Mr. Jin's child, and she was afraid that Mr. Jin would snatch the child from her.

Qiu Yingying believed that although the Jin family was rich and powerful, her daughter would definitely be able to have enough food to eat if she married into the Jin family.

However, for Mr. Jin, the daughter she gave birth to was just a bastard that was left behind unintentionally. He certainly wouldn't care too much about it.

However, for her, her daughter is the only relative she cares about and loves. She cannot lose her daughter.

Therefore, Qiu Yingying did not respond to the senior manager's words. Her face was full of worry and fear.

The senior manager asked the maid to take good care of the mother and daughter. Tea and snacks were prepared in the car. The maid gave the little girl a piece of milk and egg yolk roll. The sweet and soft snack was the most suitable for the little baby who had just grown teeth.

The little baby didn't dare to take it. He resisted the smell of the food and buried his face in his mother's arms.

The maid advised Qiu Yingying: "Miss Qiu, this is typical that the master asked us to carry you and the child. We are all hungry, so eat two pieces of snacks to fill our stomachs first.

The child was born for you, so you should eat something with him."

Qiu Yingying originally didn't want to touch such expensive food. But he and the child were both starving, and the child would probably faint again if she was hungry for a while, so he took the cake with a red face and coaxed his daughter to eat it in small bites.

At the mother-in-law's. Comforting Qiu Yingying. She relaxed a little, and carefully took a piece of cake and ate it slowly. The mother-in-law was very good at handling things. Chatting about some relaxing family matters made Qiu Yingying gradually let go of her nervous mood.

The little girl was really hungry. She ate two small pieces of cakes and drank two small cups of tea, and her little stomach was full.

The little girl, who had eaten and drunk her fill, was very well behaved, sitting next to her mother. She secretly looked at the decorations in the carriage with her big eyes, and gently stroked the patterns on the cushions with her little hands.

The old woman knew that this little girl was most likely her son's child, and looked very similar to her son when he was a child.

The old woman was particularly fond of this little girl. Even though her biological mother was not of high status, this child was the young master's first child.

Moreover, the child is very beautiful. The son of our family is very handsome, and the mother of the child is even more beautiful and charming. The young lady may not be unpopular in the future.

The old woman also wanted to make friends, so she advised Qiu Yingying:

"Miss Qiu, you're welcome. The Duke specially ordered these cakes to be prepared for you. Eat a few more. We still have a long journey ahead, don't get hungry."

Qiu Yingying was not polite and ate a few different kinds of snacks with her tea in small sips.

She had only eaten such delicious food on the day she spent time with Young Master Jin.

She had never eaten it before. Now the taste seemed familiar, and she felt indescribably sad.

I wonder how Young Master Jin will arrange the future life of them and their son.

She and her daughter are now floating like duckweed, with no one to rely on. Is Mr. Jin really the support for them?

Qiu Yingying didn't dare to think about it. However, she was determined not to be someone's mistress.

The carriage swayed slowly along the way, heading towards the county magistrate's mansion at a leisurely pace.

The little girl soon became sleepy and fell asleep in her mother's arms. Qiu Yingying was also a little tired, but in an unfamiliar environment, she did not dare to sleep soundly, but squinted her eyes and took a nap.

Finally they arrived at the prefect's mansion. They entered Mr. Jin's courtyard from the second gate.

Young Master Jin was already waiting there. When he saw the frail Qiu Yingying and the skinny little girl in her arms, he felt even more guilty.

Qiu Yingying lowered her head and hugged her daughter, at a loss.

Master Jin asked his servants to bring a chair. Qiu Yingying sat down with trepidation.

Young Master Jin didn't let her have any wild thoughts. He got straight to the point?

"Ms. Qiu, I plan to arrange for you and several other women to learn crafts in my weaving and embroidery workshops, and arrange accommodation for you.

If you can learn a skill, your future life will be guaranteed. You will also receive a large amount of compensation every month, which is enough for you to live a rich life. "

Qiu Yingying was very happy to hear Mr. Jin's arrangement. But the child was still young, so she couldn't bring the child to work?

Young Master Jin saw her difficulty and thought that some things should be clarified before they can be handled. So he asked tentatively:

"Ms. Qiu, your daughter looks very much like me. Can you tell me if she is my daughter?"
