Chapter 12: Sleeping like this is not a problem for freezing yourself to death

Ruan Jiao told her that this was a post station and there were other officials working there whose status was higher than those in charge of exiles.

If they knew that Ruan Mian had bribed them, they would definitely punish them.

But she was undoubtedly slapping the official in the face by saying these words to his face!

The next moment, the chief officer swung his whip at her.

One whip and the skin and flesh are torn apart!

Liu was so frightened that she screamed and hugged Qi Lin, begging for mercy.

"Sir, Sir! My daughter is in a bad mood, please don't bother with her!"

The chief officer said fiercely, "I think she must have eaten it secretly! Hand it over!"

Liu was shocked and shook her head like a rattle. "No, sir, we didn't steal your food. I swear! If we did, I'll strike you with lightning!"

But just as she finished her words, Nanny Fang suddenly knelt down on the spot, pointing at Qi Lin and accusing her.

"Sir! It was Miss Qi who stole your dried meat. I saw it with my own eyes!"

When these words came out, Liu was furious: "How can you talk nonsense, you bastard!"

Qi Lin had never imagined that Nanny Fang, who had served her mother for many years, would actually denounce her?

She's clearly been silenced!

However, although Nanny Fang was frightened, she did not dare to hide anything and told everything.

"I saw it with my own eyes. The young lady stole something from the official's carriage. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. I also know where she hid the uneaten bits of the dried meat."

Is there anything else in the jerky?

Now everyone in the Bo's Mansion heard it. Wang subconsciously looked at Ruan Mian and snorted.

"I didn't think it was just a few pieces of dried meat. You are indeed a cunning person. Your Ruan family is really full of talented people!" She glared at Ruan Jiao and spoke sharply.

"Mrs. Ruan, since you have such a formidable sister, why don't you go get some delicious food for Brother Lin from her? It will make the prince's love for you worthwhile!"

Lin Ge'er is the son of Wang, but Ruan Jiao doesn't like him!

But she didn't have the courage to confront Wang, because she knew that this mistress was no ordinary person.

At this moment, the officer had already kicked Qi Lin away and whipped him to make an example of someone else: "How dare you steal our things? You really don't want to live anymore!"

Qi Lin was also trembling at this moment. He huddled aside and glared at Ruan Mian with bloodshot eyes. Even now he still didn't recognize his situation and was filled with anger.

"Just because Ruan Mian bribed you with a few golden peanuts, you want to..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu suddenly slapped her!

After interrupting her, he turned around and kowtowed to the official: "Sir, my daughter is young and ignorant. She said something bad. I will teach her a lesson!"

Qi Lin covered half of her face, never expecting that her mother would hit her again. Her bloodshot eyes looked like she wanted to tear someone apart.

The officials didn't care about that. They whipped her a few times until her skin was torn and flesh was exposed. They stopped only after everyone was frightened.

When Liu saw her daughter in a dishevel, she hurried forward.

But before she could say anything, Qi Lin pushed her away and roared, "You even hit me? I stole that dried meat because you wanted to eat it, mother! That's why I stole it! And you hit me too?"

Mrs. Liu quickly explained, "Linlin, how could you say such words at that time? Mother was doing this for your own good. You..."

But Qi Lin didn't listen to her explanation at all and kicked her away. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She almost couldn't help but arch her body and cry out.

“It hurts…it hurts…”

"Linlin, Linlin, what's wrong with you? Sir, Sir! Something's happened to my daughter! Call a doctor quickly!"

Guo Yong passed by here, frowned, and scared Liu away with a whip: "This is exile! You still want to find a doctor, why don't you find the King of Hell!"

No one here cared about them anymore, so Liu could only call her former servants.

Seeing her yelling at others, Ruan Mian suddenly recalled Liu's hypocrisy towards the original owner.

She was very kind to the original owner and always gave in to her in everything, so much so that the original owner really thought that Liu was a good mother-in-law.

That was why she was willing to give away her own dowry and even use it to fill the deficit of the Qi Mansion.

Now that their true colors have been revealed, it seems ridiculous, and Ruan Mian feels sorry for the original owner from the bottom of his heart!

In this case, they should pay the price they deserve in the future!

Cuizhu asked her doubtfully, "Miss, what happened to Qilin? She looks like she has a stomachache."

Ruan Mian smiled faintly: "Maybe, she might be in diarrhea for a few days."

After hearing this, Cuizhu realized it belatedly!

"Could it be you, Miss..."

Those dried meats were not really for the officials to eat. They were simply the shells of golden peanuts.

In order to prevent the meat from being stolen and to find no evidence, Ruan Mian secretly talked to the officer and put laxatives on the dried meat.

Anyone who eats it will have diarrhea for a few days.

This laxative was also something Ruan Mian saw last time he went to his own herbal medicine shop.

There are quite a few stored in the space.

When Cuizhu saw Qi Lin's appearance, she felt refreshed all over!

"You deserve it! Miss, you are so awesome!"

Ruan Mian smiled.

On the other side, after Nanny Fang and the officials found Jin Huasheng, they did not dare to return to Liu's team, but knelt in front of Ruan Mian.

"Madam Ruan! I hope you can give this old slave a chance to live."

She kowtowed repeatedly with trembling hands, and Ruan Mian helped her up.

At first, Nanny Fang was quite nice to the original owner. When the original owner was sick and bedridden, she had taken care of him several times.

Moreover, in the original book, Nanny Fang is also a hardworking person. She doesn’t have many roles, but she appears in many famous scenes.

I'm just a little timid.

This time, Ruan Mian tricked Qi Lin into suffering, so it can be considered a merit.

Ruan Mian fulfilled his promise and asked her to join his team and take care of the Ruan couple on a daily basis.

"As long as you work hard, Madam, I will treat you as a member of the Ruan family and will never do without you for food, clothing, and other expenses."

Nanny Fang was extremely grateful for her words and immediately agreed: "Don't worry about the waiter, Madam Ruan. I will do my best!"

In this way, at least there is someone who takes care of the parents closely, which provides an extra support.

Although the servants in the mansion were there, the caring maids had been sent away early by Ruan Mian because of their old age, so Nanny Fang just happened to take their place.

For Ruan Mian, as long as he has the space, he can afford to support a few more Nannies Fang.

It's late at night.

It was snowing heavily outside the inn and it was freezing cold. They lay on the cold ground and leaned against each other for warmth.

On the other hand, Ruan Mian asked everyone in the mansion to bring some straw mats, and when no one was around, she took out a bundle of straw from the space and put it on the ground.

The people in the Ruan Mansion all slept on warm straw piles and were not cold at all. What's more, they had small animal skin vests to wear, so they slept soundly.

Liu's legs were already cold, so she couldn't stand such torture.

Back when she was in the Qi Mansion, she asked Ruan Mian to buy her a good charcoal stove, which she used throughout the entire winter.

Now she doesn't even have a straw mat!

She kicked the old woman beside her to wake her up and growled.

"She can find straw at the post station, why don't you go find some? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death if you just sleep like this?"
