Chapter 26, including today, makes a total of two chapters.

Qi Lin pretended to be reserved and stepped back, then said timidly, "You...you shouldn't do this. I'm scared..."

The officer smiled, and didn't dare to act rashly. However, his thief-like eyes kept looking towards her.

Are you willing to give up your innocence just for a bite of food?

Ruan Mian snorted coldly, and suddenly remembered that in the original book, the original owner's nun, after getting married, still mixed up with the servants in charge of the mansion and cheated on her husband.

It turns out that a dog will never change its eating habits!

Seeing the bowl of fish soup that Qi Lin had already drunk half of, Ruan Mian suddenly said, "Is the fish soup delicious?"

Qi Lin never expected that she was behind him. Didn't that mean she had just seen him?

A feeling of shame came over Qi Lin, making her extremely angry.

The officer was so cowardly that he just said a few words and disappeared, leaving her and Ruan Mian face to face.

Thinking of the suffering Ruan Mian had endured, Qi Lin kicked over the fish soup with a look of disdain on his face.

"Such a disgusting soup can only come from you."

Ruan Mian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. The last account had not been settled yet, and including today's, there were two accounts in total.

She walked up to Qi Lin and pushed her to the ground without hesitation!

Grabbing her high bun, he pushed her head into the water!

“Help…Help…”

She gulped and choked on the water several times!

But Ruan Mian showed no mercy.

"After all, I sacrificed your daughter's innocence to get this fish soup. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also insult my hard work in front of me?

No one taught you the rules before, so I, your former sister-in-law, will be kind enough to teach you what the rules are! "

The commotion here was seen by Liu, who was looking for her daughter. She widened her eyes and roared at the top of her lungs.

"Ruan Mian, what are you doing?! You are so bold! Do you want to kill someone in broad daylight?! Let my daughter go!"

This remark attracted the attention of the people around. Everyone saw Qi Lin being grabbed by Ruan Mian with a disheveled look on her face, her hair dripping with water, and she was crying loudly.

Ruan Mian's eyes turned cold and he pushed her in front of Liu.

Her words were icy: "Instead of questioning me, why not ask your daughter? She ate my fish soup and threw it away. Doesn't she know how precious food is?"

"We are all exiles, we have no food to eat. Should I offer sacrifices to the Buddha for someone who doesn't value food?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu snorted, "It's just a bowl of fish soup! Is it necessary for you to be like this? If my daughter gets hurt, I..."

Before Liu could finish, an old maid in the Bo's mansion couldn't stand it any longer: "Mrs. Qi, you threw away the food your daughter gave her. Wasting food will be punished by heaven! I think Madam Ruan taught her a lesson very well! We can't even eat what we want, and yet you still throw it away?"

"You bunch of chatterboxes! If she hadn't bribed you with the mattress, how could you stand on her side and lecture me? You're just a bunch of fence-sitters! What qualifications do you have to…"

"What qualifications do you have to accuse us? The Qi family has collapsed, and you're still acting like your wife! Look at me!"

The two women exchanged verbal exchanges, and then the fight escalated to physical combat.

The scene was in such a mess that it was frustrating just to look at, and the police were too lazy to bother with it.

They are just a bunch of short-sighted gossips, and every day is like a stage for drama.

Ruan Mian clapped his hands and left in a leisurely manner, while Qi Lin, who was covered in a mess, was so angry that he was shaking all over.

It was unknown how long it took before Liu gained the upper hand and drove the old woman out of the Bo's house. On the other hand, her daughter was sulking silently and didn't even solve the problem of food.

Liu suddenly became furious and couldn't help but pull her ear: "I don't know what you are going to do! Can you wake up? You can't win the fight, but you still insist on provoking me. What's the point of you talking?"

Qi Lin gritted her teeth and resisted with all her might. Not only did she push Liu to the ground, she also crushed all the wild vegetables that Liu and her friends had found with great difficulty.

"You, you, you... you damned bastard, how could I have given birth to such a disappointing daughter like you?"

The more Liu cursed, the angrier Qi Lin became, and she even poured all the vegetable porridge into the river.

The Qi family was left with nothing but starvation.

The farce ended only when Qi Nanfeng showed up and yelled at Qi Lin a few times.

Others laughed at her, but Ruan Mian didn't even want to look at them. After eating and drinking, she took advantage of the break time to knit a thick layer of insoles for her family.

They are all made of wild animal skins.

There was a towering mountain ahead of them, and they had to cross the mountain to reach Qingchang City at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain road is different from the official road. The deeper you go into the forest, the colder it gets. Moreover, judging from the weather at this time, it is expected to snow heavily at night.

If you don't make adequate preparations, you're afraid of something going wrong.

She also called out to her servant Ah Shun and the others, "Ah Shun, find a few people and go to the nearby woods to pick up some tree trunks. We'll have to use the branches to clear the way once we get into the mountains."

Ah Shun didn't expect her to be so thoughtful, so he quickly took a few men and went to the woods with a dagger to cut some branches.

Before leaving, Ruan Mian saw Ruan Qingsong staring at a sachet in a trance.

Only at this moment did she remember that this sachet was sewn for him by her sister-in-law herself. When he died suddenly in prison, he was still holding this sachet tightly in his hand.

So she stepped forward to interrupt Ruan Qingsong's thoughts and comforted him: "Brother, sister-in-law and Rui Ge'er will be fine. We will reach Ji County after passing Qingchang. I will look for them then!"

Ruan Qingsong quickly retracted his blushing gaze, wiped his eyes, and said, "Mianmian, thank you for your hard work. This is all my fault. I have implicated the whole family. If you hadn't taken care of it back then, we would have been in great danger..."

As he spoke, he, a grown man, began to choke up.

Ruan Mian quickly patted his shoulder and said, "It's all in the past, why bring it up? Everyone is fine now! Let's hurry on and keep an eye on our parents. They're old and I'm afraid they can't stand this kind of hardship."

It was easy to enter the mountain, but as the road became steeper and the weather became colder, they had only walked for less than three hours when the sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy snow began to fall.

The whole sky was gray and getting darker and darker.

Seeing this, the officials took them to a nearby land temple.

"Let's spend the night here first, and then speed up our journey down the mountain tomorrow morning after the heavy snow has stopped!" Everyone was eager to stop and rest, so they held their breath and rushed into the land temple.

The temple was not big, but it was enough to shelter them from the wind and snow.

But no one expected that there would be a bandit's nest near this relatively safe road.

As soon as it got dark and people fell asleep one after another, the entire land temple was surrounded by several people!

Ruan Mian was startled by the neighing of horses!

The other people around also opened their eyes one after another.

They saw a group of bandits holding torches and surrounding them in the temple.
