Bai Ruozhu was surprised to see Granny Wang kneeling down in such earnest. True, considering Granny Wang's character, it wasn't unusual for her to kneel for a bit of silver, but Xi Ya was genuinely pitiful. This situation made both her and Yu Hongxiu feel awkward.
Xi Ya quickly got up, and with a 'plop' knelt on the ground, her voice trembling as she spoke, "Please, Madam, buy Xi Ya."
Upon seeing this, Fang Guizhi's mother became flustered. Before Yu Hongxiu could respond, she snapped at Granny Wang, "The Madam has chosen our Guizhi. What are you two doing? Just because she's pitiful, does the Madam have to choose her? Did the Madam owe you anything?"
Despite the harsh words, Guizhi's mother did make some sense.
