Rebirth of the Excellent Daughter of the Marquis Household (REDMH) - Chapter 11

“Stop!” After Gu Yu Qi spoke to her mother, she shouted at the man beating the child, “If you disable him, I won’t forgive you!” Although she was young, she was majestic like a rainbow. With her shout, the trafficker’s hand shook slightly and the whip did not even go down the next time.

In her previous life, aside from Yun Ke, there were not many men who could impress Gu Yu Qi. This child with those eyes was one of them.

If Gu Yu Qi remembered correctly, his future was limitless.

After Gu Yu Qi shouted, she hurriedly dragged her mother over. Her crisp words shocked everyone, including the child who had raised his eyes unintentionally. He did not know that his unintentional actions attracted the attention of the little fairy-like girl.

“Consider yourself lucky!” The man spat, then immediately greeted them with a smile. The group of people standing over there were not only imposing, but their clothing alone showed that they were nobles in the capital. Now was the time he would get rich.

The child raised his hand with difficulty and lifted up the messy hair on his forehead. The skin on his back was almost all torn and just the small action affected the wound sending piercing pain through him, but he still wanted to clearly see the person who had saved him just now. He closed his dry and cracked lips tightly and stared at the girl running towards him.

Her little face hidden under the hood raised slightly. A pair of black jade-like eyes flashed with light he had never seen before. She was very beautiful with pink lips like water chestnuts, slightly raised, and she had the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

Was what she said true? Was she really going to buy him?

His heart that had originally died seemed to ripple a little because of that girl. He was nervous and wanted to look away but he also did not want to. What if the girl was not talking about him? Just for a moment, he had already wandered between life and death once.

He has already been sold twice. Both times, he tried desperately to protect himself and had been returned. Thinking about it, that middleman no longer had any confidence. His was a death contract and being beaten to death was also his fate. However, he would rather die than let himself be reduced to someone’s plaything.

Gu Yu Qi ran up to the child and was about to stretch out her hand to help him up when Liang Huai Yu pulled her back vigorously, preventing her from touching the child’s dirty body.

“Mother!” Gu Yu Qi looked up at her mother. She shook Liang Huai Yu’s arm and pleaded, “Can you buy him for me?”

“Why do you have to have him?” Liang Huai Yu looked at the thin child with a bit of hesitation. She could not see from a distance just now, but up close, the child was really thin and there were criss-crossed wounds under his torn clothes, both new and old. “It’s uncertain if he’ll even survive if we buy him.” Seeing him lying on the ground with his dying breath, motionless, Liang-shi could not help feeling a little sympathetic but she hesitated, “He’s a boy. He can’t stay by your side.”

“Mother, let’s bring him back. You can teach him martial arts and how to read. He can be my bodyguard and protect me in the future!” Gu Yu Qi still shook Liang Huai Yu’s arm and said in a spoiled manner, “Look at how pitiful he is!”

He was indeed pitiful, however, there were too many pitiful people at the servant market.

Unable to withstand her daughter’s pestering, Liang Huai Yu was moved. Forget it, since her daughter wanted to buy him then she would buy him so as to avoid having their mother and daughter relationship damaged by an irrelevant person. Anyway, a child was not worth a lot of money. It was just that it would be unlucky if he went back and died in the Marquis’ residence. It was also rare for her daughter to speak out like this. If this child was rescued by her daughter, he may be loyal to her daughter in the future which would not be a bad thing.

Before Liang Huai Yu could ask the price, Gu Yu Qi heard a cold voice behind her, “I’m going to buy him. You can quote a price.”

Gu Yu Qi’s spine seemed to be frozen by ice instantly and a bone-chilling coldness spread along her back to her whole body.

A ghost keeps haunting! Why was it him again?!

This voice was a little more childish than the voice she was used to hearing in the previous life, however, it still petrified Gu Yu Qi instantly like it was a magic voice.

He he he he… How could he follow?

Gu Yu Qi bit her lip secretly, her hand holding her mother’s hand trembled slightly.

She was the one who pestered him in his last life. Fine, even if all the mistakes were her fault, she had already died so tragically. Was it not enough to pay him back? Did they have to encounter each other so often in this life?! Her only wish in this life was to never meet him, never know him, and live a happy life. Was this such a difficult wish?

Damn gods!

He actually came over to steal someone from her? Could it be that her wish to cultivate a husband for herself had just failed just like this?!!!!

The reason why Gu Yu Qi was eager to buy that child was because she knew the future of this child. He would become the second General Zhen Guo! The future of Zhen Guo Marquis! In another ten years, he will be the most sought-after husband candidate in the Liang Dynasty!

If she wanted to stay away from Yun Ke, then this child would be her best bet. Either way, she would have to marry someone. Rather than marry a stranger from who knew where, it was better to cultivate a promising one herself. Originally, Gu Yu Qi wanted to buy him, then hire the best teacher for him and let him master literary and military skills. Then she would send him to military camp for training through her father and cultivate the good husband she had in her mind!

Damn it! Was the plan that she had just made ruined just like that?

Gu Yu Qi turned her gaze back suddenly and glared fiercely at the scum who was robbing her of her “future husband”, “He’s mine!” She gritted her teeth and shouted. For the first time, she did not stare at him with fear or admiration. Although all kinds of past events shrouded her heart like a nightmare, she had been reborn after all! Why fear someone she had decided not to provoke or be entangled with?! He was only 15 years old now and was just a disappointing prince, not yet established.

“Really?” Yun Ke looked at the girl who had still been trembling slightly the second before and then murderously fighting over someone with him the next second. For no reason, there was a faint light in his icy eyes. The current face overlapped with the face hidden at the bottom of his heart and it became increasingly vivid and animated.

He replied calmly and then took out a thousand taels of silver and slapped it into the man’s hand, “Is this enough?” Although he was asking the man, his eyes kept looking at Gu Yu Qi!

She probably did not recognise him. In her previous life, she had burned herself clean with fire, but it made him think about it for decades afterwards. She most likely would not have thought that he would be able to live again with the memories of his previous life.

When she did not look at him with those crazy eyes, she was not so off-putting.

Yet, what are those hateful eyes for? Just for that kid? Interesting! In this life, she actually met him like this.

Yun Ke could not help but set his eyes on that child. When he saw the child’s appearance clearly, the meaning in his eyes became a little deeper.
