574: Coaxing

Coaxing

Banxia tilted her head and looked at me. She probed, "At least, Mrs. Ma Ji was never angry with you. She's always gentle and coaxing you. She's also kind to us and never shouts at us. But Miss Mai Qi is different. This is Miss' house, but she is acting like she is the mistress. Miss, that is too much, right?"1

I smiled faintly. "She's my little aunt, but Ma Ji isn't. She's just my eldest uncle's woman, so their attitudes towards us are different. Mai Qi has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I quite like her."

I made my position clear.

Banxia shook my hand. "My Good Miss, don't be deceived by their beautiful appearance! I don't think she cares about you at all! She only cares about who will own this place in the future!"

Her tone was indignant.

I thought about it. "You mean..."

Her eyes lit up. "Miss, I don't think they're good people. Why don't we call Lu Heng and leave this place together? They said that they were good friends with you in the past, but you don't have any memory of it. This means that they can say anything they want. Do they think we're stupid?"

I nodded. "But where are we going?"

Banxia immediately said, "We're going to look for Mrs. Ma Ji. Didn't you say they're still alive? Let's go look for them. Sir and Madam even said they wanted to look for a boyfriend for you! Compared to these two, Sir and Madam are more reliable!"

Banxia's expression was very serious.

"But how can we find them?" I looked at Banxia seriously.

Banxia said proudly, "What's so difficult about that? We can go to the beach and fire the signal flares we brought from the island every night. Madam Ma Ji will see them eventually. She said the flares are unique to her island, so she won't mistake them."

I looked at her elated face and asked, "But, how do you know about the signal flares?"

Banxia replied without hesitation, "On the night we escaped, I saw with my own eyes the Sea Wolves loading a lot of them into the cabin. Didn't they do this so that one day they could get in touch with Madam Ma Ji?"

I felt a dull pain in my heart.

"Who's keeping the signal flare now?" I asked Banxia.

"It's on our ship. After we went ashore, the ship was docked. Sea Wolves didn't bring the signal flares to shore. They're still there. I went to take a look." Banxia looked mysterious.

"Why didn't they bring the signal flares to shore? Who's in charge of this?" I asked Banxia.

"Of course, it's Lu Heng. I don't think he'll mind us using them. In order to not draw attention, we can set off fireworks to cover up the signal flare!" Banxia completed her plan.

"Banxia, you're so smart," I praised her.

Banxia was very happy. "Miss, you're different from the new arrivals! We're not from the same world as them."

Banxia pulled my hand and pressed it against her face. She looked intoxicated.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on my palm.

"Banxia, don't you like this place?" I looked at her thick hair and asked softly.

Banxia raised her head. "I do, but there are so many new people here. I don't like them. I don't like any of them! Miss, Let's go to a place that will make us happy!"

"Banxia, why don't you go by yourself? I don't really want to leave this place," I suddenly said.

Banxia's expression changed. "Miss, that won't do!"
