In no ti at all, the table was piled high with copied books, a thick stack that made one shudder.
"Alright! Master, all fifty copies have been done." Xiao Taohong placed down the last book.
Xuexue looked at the mountain of books and exclaid, "So fast, and it’s not even two hours yet."
"For the master, Xiao Taohong gave it her all." Xiao Taohong said with a hint of pride.
Situ Xueer smiled with satisfaction.
That old woman wanted to punish her, but that wasn’t going to happen.
This trick might have worked in the past life, but in this life, she had many Exotic Spirits within her, and this small copying task wouldn’t overwhelm her.
Xuexue carefully stacked the copied books on the table, waiting for the Old Madam to co for inspection.
Because she went to the War Prince’s Mansion in the morning, it’s now almost evening; since it’s winter, darkness cos quickly, and the weather outside had turned gloomy.
Although Xiao Taohong was just a little ghost, she still had the playful nature of a child, and looked at Xuexue with longing, "Master, may I go outside for a walk?"
Xuexue turned to look out the window, then at her longing eyes, feeling a bit reluctant, "Alright, as long as you don’t scare anyone."
"Alright then!"
Xiao Taohong jumped and skipped outside.
Little Tiger wouldn’t play with her, so she’d go play by herself.
Doctor Wang had been in a restless mood these days, constantly worried that the affair with Auntie Tang would be exposed to everyone, and by then, General Situ definitely wouldn’t let him off.
Even though the young lady promised not to tell anyone, he was still being held by the handle and lived in constant anxiety.
These days, he was planning to pack so valuables, ready to flee the Capital to live a peaceful life.
However, after living in the Capital for so long, he didn’t have much wealth, feeling unwilling in his heart.
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a little girl sculpted in jade in front of him, who was both lively and beautiful, his heart moved montarily; he had heard during the day when he went outside that the brothel procuress was offering large sums to acquire so beautiful little girls.
He was about to run away, why not take advantage and earn a bit?
Besides, he’d been in the General’s Mansion for over ten years and had never seen this little girl; it seed she was an outsider, and selling her wouldn’t attract attention.
Thinking of this, Doctor Wang approached the little girl and said, "Little girl, how about uncle takes you outside to play?"
Xiao Taohong widened her eyes, looking at the seemingly gentle and elegant man before her, knowing he was Doctor Wang in the mansion.
Wasn’t he siding with the master?
What was he trying to do?
"Uncle, where are you taking to play?" Xiao Taohong blinked her big eyes, asking with innocence.
"Outside."
"Is the outside fun?"
"It’s very fun, there are many delicious foods and interesting things, dazzling enough to make one dizzy, little kids all love it."
"Really?" Xiao Taohong tilted her head, full of innocence.
"Yes! Want to go?"
"I want to!"
"Then let’s go." Doctor Wang impatiently grabbed Xiao Taohong’s hand, wanting to take her outside.
Besides the main entrance, the General’s Mansion had a back door, usually used by servants for grocery shopping or going in and out.
Doctor Wang was preparing to leave the General’s Mansion through that back door, so no one would notice he took the little girl.
His impatience caught Xiao Taohong’s attention.
She appeared to be only four or five years old, but within her resided the soul of an adult, "Uncle, I’m not going anymore, mom would worry if she can’t find ."
