Chapter 214 A little blood, no death

"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Besides, those noble ladies in Shengjing, which one of them doesn't look kind and helpful? When there's a disaster, they even give out porridge and do charity. Which girl doesn't look like a bodhisattva?"

Lian Xin pursed her lips and said, "But in reality, what those noble ladies did was very cruel and ruthless."

"That's right." Luo Kui nodded, and then started gossiping, "I also heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family was born to the original wife, and Zhuang Xianxian was born to the second wife. However, Zhuang Xianxian is well-known in Hongdu Prefecture, so many people dare not mention her."

"Where did you hear that?" Lianxin asked, staring at her.

Luo Kui answered confidently, "In a restaurant, the diners like to chat as soon as they sit down to eat, gossiping about other people's affairs. I heard them talking about this one time."

"Occasionally, I hear it by accident." Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a smile and said, "Miss, market rumors are sometimes true."

"Ninety percent of it is fake." Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the carriage. It was nice to have the two of them to entertain her.

"Miss, I have secretly left the things you asked us to leave with Manager Ding." Lianxin thought of this and said it immediately.

"Well, we should thank Manager Ding for taking care of us these days." Xiao Jiuyue answered casually. The shaking of the carriage made her a little drowsy. Luo Kui, who was curious, chatted with Lian Xin all the way.

The boring journey also became particularly interesting. At noon, they had a simple meal of dry food, rested for a while, and continued on the road. Lianxin and Luokui had a tacit understanding and gave Xiao Jiuyue a nap time without saying a word.

"Miss, have some water. We'll be in Lancang County soon." Lian Xin found that Xiao Jiuyue had woken up and immediately handed her the water.

Luo Kui came forward with the prepared snacks: "Grape mochi, Miss Tang sent them specially today, and there's also sour plum soup. It's just that it's hot, so the sour plum soup isn't iced anymore."

"No problem."

Xiao Jiuyue ate something simple and pulled aside the curtain. There were mountains outside, but as she got closer to Lancang County, she felt that the mountains became more lovely.

Luo Kui took a deep breath and said, "Miss, although Hongdu is better than Lancang County, why do I feel so comfortable when I return to Lancang County?"

"Coming home is like stepping on the ground. My feet are firmly on solid ground, and I feel comfortable naturally." Lianxin was also very much looking forward to it. In Hongdu, she felt like a floating duckweed, not at all stable.

"Wait, what is that?" Luo Kui suddenly looked at a group of people not far away. She immediately recognized the one wearing a splint and prison uniform. She said excitedly, "Isn't that the daughter of the Cheng family? Her father is the county magistrate."

"Where?" Lian Xin followed her gaze and said with wide eyes, "It was her. She almost killed the young lady!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes." Luo Kui didn't even want to eat the snacks anymore.

"What, she harmed the eldest lady?" When Hua Qing heard this, he looked at the group of exiled people and immediately wanted to step forward and take action.

"That's right." Luo Kui began to list how the Cheng family and the Cheng family's daughter-in-law had harmed Xiao Jiuyue, and were still thinking about Xiao Jiuyue. Her son was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and her own mother came to dislike Xiao Jiuyue. It was her daughter who looked down on the Cheng family.

Especially during the assassination in Wan'an Village, the young lady followed the out-of-control carriage and fell off a cliff. The carriage was shattered and she almost lost her life.

"No, we can't just let this go." Hua Qing turned around and said, "Miss, I'll let you vent your anger. You can punish me however you want later."

After he finished speaking, Hua Qing jumped off the carriage and rushed towards the group of exiled prisoners.

"Hua Qing." Xiao Jiuyue didn't even have time to say anything. Hua Qing was so fast that he rushed out like a shadow.

"Take me with you!" Luo Kui also jumped down and said, "Miss, I'll go and help you vent your anger too."

This time, Xiao Jiuyue didn't need to shout, Donggui also followed him, and the posture looked as if he wanted to eat the other person alive.

"Bitch, how dare you harm my eldest daughter? I curse you, you will never have a good death in this life!" Hua Qing was not satisfied with just a slap, she also cursed angrily. Hua Qing stood in place, waving her hands in the air and muttering to herself.

"You, who are you?" Cheng Fangjiao had been so thin these days that she was just skin and bones. After being hit by Hua Qing, she fell directly to the ground.

Cheng's father stood up and shouted, and even the yamen runners were ready to step forward. If the prisoner died here, they would have a hard time explaining themselves.

"Sir, we're just venting our anger. We won't make things difficult for you." Luo Kui untied the purse from his waist and stuffed it directly into the yamen runner's hand. The yamen runner weighed it, looked around, and said, "Don't let anyone get killed."

"No, no." Luo Kui said with a smile, looking at Hua Qing's posture as if he was watching a show.

"All the evil you do will come back to bite you." After Hua Qing finished cursing, he stared at Cheng's father and said, "You have killed too many people. No wonder you are so miserable in your middle age."

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng's father said with a sullen face.

"What nonsense is she talking about? Isn't your Cheng family in a state of decline now?" Luo Kui was so angry that the Cheng family was doing such inhumane things.

Dong Gui stepped forward and waited calmly until everyone started arguing. Then Dong Gui stepped directly on Cheng Yanwen with a cold glint in her eyes. The eldest lady is Her Highness, how dare anyone covet her?

"ah……"

When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, the situation was already getting out of control.

"Stop." Xiao Jiuyue's crisp voice rang out, and Hua Qing, Dong Gui and others all stopped.

"Dad, I, I was stepped on." Cheng Yanwen felt pain all over his body. He covered his crotch. His white prison uniform was now stained red.

Cheng's father looked at Cheng Yanwen distressedly and shouted to the yamen runner, "Doctor, please call in the doctor."

"Just a little blood, he won't die." The yamen runner stared at the blood on his prison uniform and said indifferently that he was a eunuch and was still alive.

"You..." Father Cheng was so angry that he wanted to take action. The yamen runner whipped him with the whip. In the end, Father Cheng didn't dare to say anything. He looked up and stared at Xiao Jiuyue with a look that seemed to want to cut her into pieces. He said, "You are not trustworthy."

"Let me correct you. You're the one who broke your promise." Xiao Jiuyue stepped forward and said, "Master Cheng, you promised me back then, but I don't need to explain what your Cheng family did afterwards, right?"

"Those dozens of lives lost in Hujia Village, and all these years, you've embezzled money and wronged so many good people. Aren't you afraid they'll come looking for you when you dream at night?"
