Chapter 118 Is this the hairpin?

The leader of the guards was quite capable after all. When Bai Tao and Bai Xiaocao arrived, they just squeezed to the front and saw Bai Qi being rolled by a whip and about to be thrown out.

There was a staircase in front of a shop in that direction. If someone fell there, he would either hit his head and bleed, or suffer a serious injury.

Bai Tao's expression suddenly changed, and her childish voice changed its tone: "Xiao Cao."

At this time, Bai Xiaocao put down what she was holding in her arms, rushed forward, and swung the hairband in her hand, wrapping it around Bai Qi's waist.

The hair rope is thinner than the whip, so it broke after a slight hit.

But just this one moment was enough for Bai Xiaocao to rush forward, grab Bai Qi's ankle, pull him back and adjust the direction.

In front of powerful people, no one cares about the life and death of ordinary people.

The leader of the guards used such great force that Bai Xiaocao, who had rushed forward anxiously, was thrown out along with the white chess piece.

Fortunately, the fall was on flat ground, so the injuries were not serious.

"Sister Qi, are you okay?"

Bai Xiaocao's sudden move startled everyone present, but when they saw that she was just a little girl and was dressed in ordinary clothes, they immediately sighed inwardly.

"Why are you hurting people?"

At this time, Bai Tao spoke, and her childish voice made everyone look at her.

Blood was oozing from the corners of Bai Qi's mouth. When he saw Bai Xiaocao, he was surprised and delighted, but soon became panicked.

She looked at Bai Tao with tears in her eyes and shook her head, "Auntie, they are all bad people, please don't get involved in this mess."

Perhaps it was because Bai Xiaocao appeared with Bai Tao, and because he was young and had good skills, Princess Deyang had the idea of ​​restraining herself for a rare time, but it was only a little bit.

She glanced at Jasmine, who immediately said, "Who are you?"

"This is none of your business."

When Bai Tao heard this, she laughed out loud.

"It's none of my business?" You hit my people, and you say it's none of my business?

The reason why Princess Deyang restrained herself was because she saw Bai Tao, a baby who was only five or six years old, dared to interfere, and Bai Tao was cute and snow-white, not like an ordinary child.

Ordinary people have problems getting enough food and clothing, but they can’t raise such a cute girl, not to mention that the maid she brings with her is a skilled one.

She was a little afraid of Bai Tao's identity, but Deyang herself was a princess and always did whatever she wanted.

Seeing that her maid asked about her origins, Bai Tao did not introduce herself, and she immediately knew that she was not someone with a background, at least not as rich as hers. Princess Deyang's face immediately fell.

Jasmine was also aware of this, and immediately shouted, "We are catching a runaway maid, don't meddle in our business."

"Is this your maid?" Bai Tao asked again.

Does the sun rise from the west today?

Bai Qi had only been away from her for a while, so how did she go from being a member of Taohua Village to being this bastard's maid?

Does this mean that she has seen an alternative type of human trafficker in ancient times?

This is forcing a woman of good character to serve as a servant, right? !

Jasmine's expression remained unchanged, she was confident and stern, "Of course."

"She was a maid in our princess's mansion. Our princess treated her very well, but she was so bold as to steal our princess's favorite hairpin..."

White also recovered at this time and shouted angrily: "I didn't!"

"Pfft..." It was the first time that Bai Tao had seen such a shameless person. She laughed in anger and gave Bai Qi a calming look before she spoke, "Is she really a maid in your house?" "Of course." Jasmine's heart tightened, but she said even louder, "What's wrong with you? Have you read too many picture books and want to be a chivalrous heroine?"

"I've already said that this is one of our princess's maids. She was dishonest and stole our princess's favorite hairpin. That's why..."

Bai Tao nodded, revealing a look of understanding, as if she was not bothered by worldly affairs. She tilted her head and asked with a smile, "So what did she steal?"

"Hairpins, a pair of purple butterfly hairpins, those are our princess's favorite hairpins." Jasmine said, glaring at Bai Qi who had climbed up.

Humph, I gave you five taels of silver before, but you didn't appreciate it.

"Aunt, I didn't." Bai Qi almost called her aunt, but he swallowed the words back.

"Besides, I am not their maid. I am a clean and honest citizen."

Although she had been in Taohua Village before, she knew that only those who signed a contract to sell themselves would be sold as slaves.

She had been following her aunt along the way with her fellow villagers. When did she sell herself as a servant?

This princess is not a good person.

"Look, she said she wasn't a maid of some princess."

"You won't believe the nonsense said by a thieving slave, will you?" Jasmine's eyes flashed with contempt.

So what if she isn’t? As long as the person is taken away, she has to be one!
"Forget it. How can a child like you understand all these twists and turns? Our princess has something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."

Although this little girl's status is certainly not as high as that of the princess, she is so tough because she has a certain background to rely on. Besides, with so many people watching, she cannot let anyone gossip about her.

As she spoke, Jasmine glanced at the leader of the guards, asking him to take the people with him, and then she was about to help Princess Deyang onto the carriage.

"Wait a minute." Bai Tao interrupted and said, "Don't even think about taking him away if I haven't made it clear."

Bai Xiaocao had been supporting Bai Qi as they stood, and upon hearing this she quickly stood in front of Bai Qi.

Bai Tao didn't care about the gloomy face of Princess Deyang. She looked at Bai Qi and said angrily, "Take out the hairpin she mentioned and let me see it."

No matter where you are, there will always be people watching the fun.

The people who had dodged before were all watching, and when they saw that Bai Tao, a little baby, dared to step forward and intervene, and nothing had happened yet, they all spoke up.

"Yes, take it out and have a look."

"Things haven't been explained yet, how can you take people away?"

"..."

Just when Princess Deyang thought that Bai Qi would not take out the hairpin and Jasmine was about to ask the guards to search, Bai Qi obediently took out the hairpin that he had subconsciously protected in his arms even when it fell.

As soon as this pair of pink and purple pearl butterfly hairpins appeared, they immediately caught Princess Deyang's attention.

The onlookers also talked about it.

Jasmine knew how much her master liked the pearl butterfly hairpin, so she quickly whispered, "Don't worry, Princess, this hairpin will be worn on your bun in a while."

The next second, Jasmine held Princess Deyang's hand and said more confidently, "See! I was right."

She glared at Bai Qi fiercely and angrily said, "Now that we have caught him red-handed, what else do you have to say, you little slave?"

"take away!"

When the onlookers saw this, many of them, who were originally just there to watch the fun, now felt like they had seen the truth and immediately started grumbling.

"What a thief."
