Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 262: Slave Broker ( 2 )

Xi Er was unhappy at being reprimanded, but since they were living under someone else’s roof, she didn’t dare to act as arrogantly as before. She bit her lip lightly and nodded. "I understand."

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived in the backyard and saw that Yao Zhi had been waiting.

When Xi Wu and Xi Liu saw the luxurious carriage, their eyes lit up, and they couldn’t help touching it. Xi Si was calmer and stood obediently behind her mother.

Yao Zhi showed no reaction and said, "Get in the carriage."

The moment they heard this, Xi Wu and Xi Liu rushed in, while Xi Si turned to her mother and said, "Mother, I will take good care of Xi Qi and myself. Don’t worry. Take good care of yourself, too."

"Mother knows. Be good and listen to our Master. Work more and talk less," Xi Yi reminded her.

"I will listen to you, Mother."

"Good. Go now. Don’t keep our Master waiting."

Xi Si gave her mother a deep curtsy before climbing into the carriage. After they sat down, Yao Zhi led the horse out, then climbed into the driver’s seat and drove the carriage away.

Inside the carriage, Xi Wu and Xi Liu kept touching everything. They even opened the drawers under the seat and saw the snacks inside. When they reached out to take the snacks, Xi Si finally said, "Presumptuous!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Startled by her sudden shout, they glared at her, and Xi Wu said, "Sister, what are you yelling about? You almost scared us to death."

"Both of you are slaves. Master allowing you to sit in the carriage is already an immense favor. How dare you covet the Master’s things?" Xi Si asked sternly.

Xi Wu snorted and replied, "Stop acting like you are above us. Now that all of us are slaves, you are not better than us. Who gives you the right to reprimand us?"

Xi Liu nodded and added, "If Father were alive, he would definitely punish you for shouting at us!"

Before, whenever she heard them say this, Xi Si would feel sad and angry. She always thought that her father was biased toward them because he preferred that vixen over her mother.

Now that she had learned the truth, she realized that she had misunderstood her father for so many years.

Her father had never touched Meng Yiniang and only loved her mother. But all of this regret came too late. Her father was already dead.

Right now, she could only do her best to protect her youngest brother, since her eldest brother’s whereabouts were unknown. She couldn’t let her father’s lineage be cut off completely.

Even though Xi Wu and Xi Liu were unhappy, after being reprimanded by their sister, they stopped touching things and finally calmed down.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Yao Zhi heard everything. She shook her head and let out a sigh. With their personalities, they would have a hard time in the future.

Ten minutes later, she parked the carriage outside a slave broker shop. Unlike the slave market in the border town, this place worked as a mediator between sellers and buyers.

They bought slaves from their masters, trained them, and then resold them to other buyers. They not only earned commissions from customers but also profited from the price difference.

"Xi Wu, Xi Liu, both of you come down."

Hearing this, they smiled smugly at Xi Si and came out. The moment they saw the place, their faces turned pale. They looked at Yao Zhi in fear but didn’t dare to ask anything.

Yao Zhi noticed their emotions, but she hardened her heart and said, "Follow me."

When they entered the building, she saw the guards sitting at a side table and walked to the counter. The clerk glanced at them for a moment and noticed that their clothes were made of good materials.

"Greetings, Young Master. What can I do for you?" the clerk greeted her with a smile.

Yao Zhi took out the slave deeds and said, "I want to sell these two." After saying this, she placed the deeds on the counter and let the clerk check them.

The clerk was taken aback by her words. At first, she thought that these two were the young master’s sisters, since the clothes they wore were clearly very expensive.

While she was checking the deeds, both Xi Wu and Xi Liu were finally unable to hold back their tears. They knelt down and kowtowed to Yao Zhi.

"Master, please spare us. If we did something wrong, we are willing to accept the punishment. Please don’t sell us."

"Master, please spare us."

Although she wanted to sell them to avoid trouble in the future, she still couldn’t bear to watch them bang their heads against the hard, cold ground. She pulled them up and said, "I have my own arrangement."

Seeing that their Master was unmoved, they could only hold each other’s hands tightly and wait with pale faces.

The clerk put the deeds down and asked, "Young Master, may I ask why you want to sell them?"

"They are too young to serve me."

Hearing this, the clerk glanced at them and nodded in understanding.

Both of these slaves were beautiful and had soft features. When they reached a marriageable age, they would be very beautiful. But they were still too young now. If they were several years older, they would be able to fetch a higher price if sold to a brothel.

After a moment of silence, the clerk said, "Young Master, you bought them at such a high price, but I can’t afford that amount."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi knew that the broker wanted to negotiate. She thought for a moment and replied, "I can sell them for 400 taels of silver each, but you must write an agreement to never sell them to a brothel. Find them a good family and let them work as maids."

When the clerk heard her request, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Young Master, if you care so much about them, just let them stay with you."
