Zhao Dajia pondered for a while, then sighed, "Alas, General Shi is truly pitiful."

Little Green was stunned. Huh?

"My lord, he has stolen the concubine that General Shen gave you!"

Xiao Lü reminded him, but Zhao Dajia scoffed, dismissing Shen Congliang's offer of a concubine and expressing relief that Shi Shen and his cousin had finally reunited.

"Hey! Why are you crying?"

Zhao Dajia looked down and was surprised to see that the woman sitting on the ground was covered in tears.

Nothing much, I was just moved by this person's peculiar thought process. Little Green is exhausted. General, I regret it!

Xiao Lü crawled out while crying, because she had been outside in the cold all night, and her hands and feet were stiff with cold, so she couldn't stand up or walk. But even so, she was determined to crawl to the Shen residence; she didn't want to stay in this suffocating courtyard for even a second longer!

Zhao Dajia, who was behind, watched the little green thing crawl, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.

Because at this moment, Xiao Lü's hair was a bit messy, and she was crying and crawling, which... made her look too much like a female ghost!

So this thing just stayed outside his door all night?!

No wonder he had a dream all night, dreaming that someone was knocking on his door and there was a woman's voice. It turns out there was a female ghost!

That's absolutely awful! Luckily, he deliberately ignored that sound last night, otherwise, if he had kindly come to open the door, he would have been eaten alive by that female ghost!

Little Green had already climbed to the center of the yard when it was suddenly covered by something. Then it was punched and kicked, and its pitiful cries echoed in the yard, startling several small birds that had come to the branches to forage for food.

After Zhao Dajia finished fighting the 'ghost,' he hurriedly ran away. The ghost was still there in broad daylight, so it must be very powerful. He dared not stay there!

Little Green's pitiful screams remained alone in the yard.

Zhao Dajia arrived at the Marquis of Changxing's residence and was told that Chuanwen had gone to the girls' school. He then remembered that Chuanwen seemed to have been teaching there all along. Turning towards the school, he couldn't help but think of his daughter still in prison, and sighed deeply. Both father and daughter were in worse situations than the other. Fortunately, his little granddaughter was being well cared for by the Empress, so even if something happened to him and his daughter, he had nothing to worry about.

When he arrived at the girls' school gate, it wasn't yet lunchtime, so Zhao Dajia bought a pancake by the roadside and squatted there to eat it while waiting.

Seeing the teahouse across the street, he disdainfully looked away. Why spend money if you're thirsty? You can just ask the pancake seller for a bowl of water for free.

But if Zhao Dajia were to enter the teahouse, he would find many of his colleagues sitting there, including Shen Congliang, who had given him a concubine, and Shi Shen, who was reuniting with his cousin.

At this moment, the people who were chatting happily were stunned when they saw Zhao Dajia squatting at the entrance of the girls' school. Then they looked at Shen Congliang with doubt in their eyes. Didn't he have a family? Why is he still haunting us?

I was playing with Zhao Dajia before, and they haven't come to Chuanwen's place to listen to some fun for days. Today, they finally went out to have some fun, but they ran into this plague god!

Shen Congliang didn't know what was going on either, so he looked at Marquis Changxing with a questioning gaze, asking, "What brings Zhao Dajia to Chuanwen?"

Marquis Changxing had no idea either; surely they weren't here to rob his granddaughter.

However, if it really were a robbery, Marquis Changxing wasn't worried that Chuanwen would suffer a loss. Even with Wenxue around, he felt his own Wen girl could handle it all by herself; after all, not everyone has the potential to go crazy.

Unfortunately, Chuanwen didn't come out at noon today; instead, he ate at the girls' school.

Hehe, she just poached a top chef yesterday, so she has to go and try his cooking today.

Zhao Dajia's stomach was already growling with hunger, so he set his sights on the pancake seller and, with his excellent bargaining skills, managed to snatch a pancake from him.

Watching this person shamelessly eat the pancake, the pancake seller cursed and pushed his cart away into the distance.

Zhao Dajia didn't think much of it; at least he had the pancakes.

The people in the teahouse felt quite ashamed. He was, after all, an official of the imperial court, yet he dared to snatch cakes from ordinary people. Did he have no shame?

Besides, Zhao Dajia has robbed quite a bit from them recently, so why is he still so stingy that he won't even spend money on a pancake!

Just as everyone was criticizing Zhao Dajia, the sounds of fighting and cursing came from the street. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man beating a woman. The two seemed to be a couple.

Before they could figure out what was going on, Zhao Dajia rushed over in a flash, shouting, "Why are you hitting people!"

"Aba aba aba!"

Zhao Dajia was a little confused when he saw that the man was being aggressive and using vulgar language. He turned around and asked a passerby who had come to watch the commotion, "What did he say?"

The passerby glanced at the man, then at the woman cowering on the ground, and then at the meddlesome Zhao Dajia, and guessed, "He probably said, 'It's none of your business if I beat my own wife!'"

Hey!

He didn't like hearing that. Zhao Dajia rolled up his sleeves and said, "You can't beat anyone's wife like that! Look at the state you've left her in! If you keep hitting her, she'll die!"

Everyone looked at the woman on the ground, and saw that she had been beaten black and blue, with bruises and marks all over her exposed skin, some old and some new, indicating that she had been abused frequently.

Seeing someone standing up for her, the woman's eyes lit up with hope. She crawled over on her knees, grabbed Zhao Dajia's leg, and cried for help, recounting her miserable fate of being frequently beaten.

That's right, this person is Sister Han. When she was crying, she didn't say that she was sold because she spat. She only said that she made a mistake by accident and was sold several times. In the end, she trusted a stinky man and was deceived by him, who sold her to this mute man.
