Chapter 118: The Weak and Dark Prince vs. the Cute and Innocent Maid 13
Chapter 118: The Weak and Dark Prince vs. the Cute and Innocent Maid 13
Ye Hongyin felt dizzy, but she still held onto the corner of his clothes tightly and begged even more weakly.
"Master, I have served you for so many years, I don't ask for anything. I will make four servings every day.
No, Wu Dinggong, please take out the money and save Jiaojiao."
It was also the first time that Meng Jiao was protected like this. Ye Hongyin's behavior really shocked her.
Taking the opportunity to cry, she stood up and brought her a glass of water.
When he turned around, he put some diluted spiritual spring in it and exchanged it for a sick body pill.
Maru can guarantee that this person will be in a sick and comatose state for the next month. In fact, it is passive recuperation. In the eyes of outsiders, he is unconscious, but in fact, the body's defense mechanism is fully activated, maintaining the minimum consumption and resting.
Ye Hongyin is too weak now, so it is better for her to handle the next thing herself.
Touching Meng Jiao's little head, Ye Hongyin felt even more sad as she looked at her thin daughter. Under Meng Jiao's encouraging eyes, she drank the water in the bowl with tears in her eyes and tried to comfort her with a smile.
I could not help thinking that if all else failed, I would sell myself into slavery in exchange for my daughter's freedom.
But before she could finish a few words, she fainted.
Seeing this, Xu Jinshi took the opportunity to help her back to the next room, and made it clear that he didn't want to bother with Meng Jiao.
Seeing him like this, Meng Jiao didn't waste any time. She raised her hand and whistled at the two people who had been waiting in the outer courtyard for a long time.
The two who received the signal straightened their clothes and kicked open the Xu family courtyard with a fierce look on their faces.
"Xu Mengjiao, come out!"
Ye Hongyin, who was already in a coma, did not respond at all. Xu Jinshi was frightened and ran out of the house.
He saw two fat and strong men, both dressed in expensive clothes, looking at him with fierce faces.
The wooden door of the courtyard was also kicked to the ground by the two men.
"Where's Xu Mengjiao? Call her out! How dare you, the Xu family, harbor a maid from our mansion!"
Xu Jinshi's face turned pale. As a scholar, when had he ever quarreled with anyone?
Not to mention that the two men were carrying sticks on their shoulders, and when they asked questions, they inadvertently swung a strong wind at him;
At this moment, due to the noise made by the two people, the neighbors around had already noticed and came out to watch the fun. He ran into the house and dragged Meng Jiao, who was hiding in the corner, out.
Seeing that there were some curious villagers watching the show outside the courtyard gate, he loosened his grip, but still had a lot of strength.
Meng Jiao cried out at the top of her lungs, hoping to attract more people.
Xu Jinshi knew that she could break free with just this little strength, but she still pretended to cry out in pain.
"No, no, Dad, please, you've already sold me once, you can't just watch me die, no, please~ Dad, your daughter begs you!"
The teenage girl's voice was hoarse and her cry was sad.
Several women at the door couldn't bear to watch and wanted to help, but they were stopped by their husbands.
He pointed at the two guards holding sticks, and indicated with his eyes that they were not simple people. So the families quieted down and prepared to wait and see what happened.
When Xu Jinshi heard what Meng Jiao said, he wanted to tear out her tongue. Scholars care most about their reputation. How could he let others know that she was sold out?
He was so anxious that he didn't care about maintaining the dignity of a scholar. He bowed and apologized to the two disguised guards.
"I'm sorry to trouble you two to come here. My daughter is really naughty and has caused trouble for the Duke's Mansion. You can take her back now."
After all, the two men were once strong men. They really didn't expect that Xu Jinshi was so shameless that he even pushed his own girl into the fire pit without mercy.
"Hmph, you are a sensible person. Even if you want to die, it is the business of our Duke's Mansion and has nothing to do with you. But if you leak any information about our Duke's Mansion, watch out for your head!"
The two spoke according to the agreed lines, which undoubtedly indirectly acknowledged Xu Jinshi's behavior of not caring about his daughter's life or death.
At this moment, the woman standing at the door couldn't help but shout,
"Xu Xiucai, Daya has suffered enough as a maid for the sake of the family. Now, as a father, do you really want to watch your daughter die? How can you, a scholar, be so cruel?"
Xu Jinshi's face turned red when he was told this, and he stiffened his neck and retorted,
"What do you know, you ignorant woman? Go back to your home. What does it have to do with you?"
Meng Jiao watched as more and more people complained outside, so she soothed her tired throat.
Phew, let's stop here for today. If we continue to make trouble, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave this village, and then it will be difficult to proceed to the next step.
So she took the opportunity to raise her head and winked at the two people who were pretending to be fierce.
It was rare for the two women to quarrel, and Xu Jinshi was embarrassed.
Some villagers even threatened that the land would not be registered under his name, saying that he was such a bad-hearted person that he would not be clean even if he was exempted from taxes!
After receiving Meng Jiao's instructions, the two of them stopped watching the show and dragged Meng Jiao out of the village.
It seemed like she was dragging herself very fiercely, but in fact, every two steps, Meng Jiao would cry and struggle while swinging.
It's like a kid swinging, and it saves a lot of energy.
The three of them gradually disappeared in Changshan Village, accompanied by Meng Jiao's sobbing.
Only Xu Jinshi was left repairing the gate, dealing with the criticisms of the women in the village alone.
He was extremely angry and ashamed at the moment, and even more jealous of Meng Jiao for causing him to become like this. As expected, his daughter was a money-loser, which really pissed him off.
This is exactly what Meng Jiao wants. These are all bargaining chips for divorce in the future.
Although the original owner did not say that he would be punished, why not let the scum who caused the original owner and her mother to suffer for more than ten years taste the bitter fruit of his own making?
When the villagers were no longer visible, the three who had finished their performance quickly got on the hidden oxcart.
Just now, a villager saw injustice on the road, and the three of them were afraid that someone would chase them out and expose their crimes.
After driving the ox cart for a while, the three of them felt relieved when they saw that no one was catching up with them.
Meng Jiao's eyes were a little red and swollen from acting, but there were other people in the carriage, so she couldn't use anything from the space to clean them. She could only wipe off the smudged makeup with a handkerchief and continue to instruct the two people.
"Send me back later. Change your clothes and rent a house nearby. Take this money and keep an eye on him for a while. If anything happens, leave a message for me at Liu's Bakery and say that something happened at my house."
The two took the money from Meng Jiao's hand and obeyed her orders despite her small figure.
"Master, how should we two brothers address you?"
Meng Jiao then realized that the two people were in a hurry and had not figured out each other's identities.
"My name is Xu Mengjiao, and I'm currently a maid in the Yongguo Mansion. Don't leave the wrong letter."
Even after eating the loyalty pills, the two were a little surprised. Their master was really a little girl.
"Master, you haven't reached the age of marriage yet, have you?"
Meng Jiao gave the two of them a look, and in front of them, she easily poked a hole in the wooden board of the oxcart with her finger.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just do whatever you're told. Understand?"
The two brothers' pupils trembled, and they dared not say anything more.
"I understand, I understand."
The ox cart was moving slowly. Meng Jiao thought that when she returned tonight, Zhongli Weiran might have gone to bed long ago. She also wondered if he would be uncomfortable with the dinner in the kitchen today.
The dark country lane and the bumpy dirt road made Meng Jiao feel nauseous.
Just then, a pile of torches appeared not far away.
As the three of them got closer, they realized that it looked like a carriage surrounded by many people.
The two brothers immediately became alert and protected Meng Jiao in the middle.
