The mercenary queen was bound by a system and transmigrated to the Great Zhou Dynasty, becoming the Prime Minister's fake young miss. She originally wanted to enjoy a comfortable retirement, bu...
Before I left my mother's house, a little boy came running towards me.
The boy was running too fast and didn't pay attention to his feet. He accidentally stepped on a small stone on the ground, slipped, and his face was about to come into close contact with the ground.
"Ah!" The boy subconsciously let out a frightened cry.
Lying on the ground was not a big problem, except that there was a small sharp stone on the ground.
If you slip and fall to the ground, your face will definitely be injured. If you get hit in the eyes, it will definitely cause irreversible consequences.
Fortunately, when the boy was about to fall, Mengyue ran over and grabbed the boy's clothes on the back with one hand, preventing the boy from being hurt.
After Mengyue put the boy down, he blinked, looked at the sharp stones, then looked at his sister who had saved him, and said, "Thank you for saving me, but I have to go find Grandpa to save Mingyu and Minghao now. I'm leaving first."
Before the boy could run away, someone among the children with Mengyue asked the boy, "Zebao, what happened to Mingyu and Minghao?"
"Zhu Zi, grandma wants to sell Ming Yu and Ming Hao. I want to go find grandpa."
"Ah! Sell Mingyu and Minghao, sister, let's go over there quickly!"
Mengyue had just arrived and didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she was about to ask others how to get home.
The system's voice suddenly rang in my mind: [Suku, hurry over there! Your two younger brothers are about to be sold off by that old hag.]
Sell my brother?
[Yes, I forgot to tell you that after you and Yun Ran swapped identities, your parents gave birth to a pair of twin brothers for you.]
Hearing this, Mengyue urged the children to go home quickly.
In less than half a cup of tea, several people ran to the area around the house. The walls inside and outside were full of villagers standing, watching the excitement and discussing:
"I thought it was Ran who sent someone again, but it turned out to be the matchmaker. Old Ran wants to sell her two little grandsons. What a sin!"
"It wasn't very good. Seeing that Ran had recognized her biological parents and became the daughter of an official, the An family was expected to live a life of luxury. But a month ago, Ran sent someone to tell the An couple that their biological daughter had been disrespectful and had run off with a beggar. After Ran's disappearance, Wan Niang was already missing her daughter and her condition became increasingly serious. Then she heard that the daughter she had cherished for sixteen years was not her biological daughter, and her biological daughter was also missing. She couldn't bear the blow and fell ill."
As soon as the villager finished speaking, another villager continued, "The key is that An went hunting in the mountains to raise money for Wanniang's medical expenses. He encountered a big tiger and was lucky enough to survive, but his leg was broken. Old Lady An didn't call a doctor and left An to die."
"The old lady was so heartless as to sell her two grandsons because An's leg was broken. From now on, he can't even hunt or do farm work. The eldest son of the second branch of this family went out to look for his sister and hasn't returned for two years, leaving behind a sickly little one. Not only does he not earn money for the family, he even has to pay for it. With the stingy old lady, how could she tolerate this?"
"It's just a pity for Wan Niang's wife. When Wan Niang first brought her home, she was such a pretty girl. She gave birth to four children: three sons and a daughter, including twins. What a blessing! If she were in my family, I wouldn't let Wan Niang do so much work."
"Come on, don't you see what your son looks like? How can he be worthy of Wan Niang? Well, even though Wan Niang gave birth to three sons for our family, she did a lot of housework. Even if it's not hard work, it's still hard work. But after all these years, she has been tortured by our family until she is no longer human. Look at how she beat her."
