Chapter 248 Hitting the wall
Ling Xiaoxiao slapped her head and suddenly remembered.
"Yes, where's that little bastard?" She grabbed Aunt Wei's hair and shouted, "Hand that little bastard over quickly. I will never let him off today!"
Aunt Wei looked confused.
"What child?" she asked, puzzled. "Children are not careful with their mouths and can easily leak information. Why would we, who run a business like this, want children?"
After hearing this, the young man who was in great pain also widened his eyes in shock.
"Didn't you send that kid?" He covered his lower body with his hands and stammered, "He came here a few days ago with your token, saying he wanted to do odd jobs here."
Aunt Wei was also surprised.
"That's absolutely impossible!" she said with certainty, "I gave my token to Old Monster Jiang a few days ago!"
"That token is obviously real!" The young man said with certainty, enduring the pain.
After hearing this, Aunt Wei seemed to understand something.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
He was about to give an order when suddenly a chaotic sound of horse hooves came from outside the door.
With a loud bang, the half-worn door was kicked open, and the county magistrate hurried over with a group of soldiers.
"I greet the Crown Prince and the Princess!" The county magistrate knelt down immediately upon seeing them.
Prince?
Princess?
When Aunt Wei heard this, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
It's over, she hit a wall!
This damn old monster Jiang clearly wants to kill her!
Xie Mubai frowned slightly, his deep voice intimidating without anger: "Pass the order down, immediately seal off the county, and do everything in our power to capture Old Monster Jiang!"
"Tie up the others and take them back to the county government office for severe interrogation!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing this, Shen Wan immediately tore a piece of cloth from a corpse and scribbled a few strokes with charcoal: "This man is Old Monster Jiang. This princess and the Miaojiang Saint almost died in his hands!"
When the county magistrate heard that the Miao Saint was also there, he almost cried out loud.
I thought I could live a peaceful life in this small county, but how could I have known that all these big shots would gather here!
No matter who gets into trouble here, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my head.
He took the rag with trepidation, but when he saw the picture, it turned out to be just a child. The county magistrate was surprised: "Princess, are you sure he is Old Monster Jiang?"
"Old Monster Jiang is almost thirty years old, how could he be a child?"
Shen Wan nodded very confidently.
"If I'm not mistaken, he must be suffering from dwarfism," she sneered. "Every time he talks with Aunt Wei through the window, he has to stand on a low stool, which is enough to prove that he is not tall."
"Also, when he lied to me and the Miaojiang Saint today, I felt something was wrong."
"Now that I think about it, there was something wrong with his teeth."
"His teeth are badly worn, not like those of a child."
The county magistrate was completely confused.
"Just do as the princess says." Xie Mubai said coldly with a gloomy face, "Wan'er, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate quickly said, "I have already prepared accommodations for the prince and the princess..."
"No need!" Xie Mubai flatly refused, "These girls are all victims. You can make the arrangements as you see fit."
He winked at Black Hawk, then hurried away, taking Shen Wan's hand.
Black Hawk understood.
Doesn’t that young man like brothels?
Although she is not a girl, she can look stunning after a little dressing up. I believe her business will be very good.
"Miss...you...are you really the princess?" Xiu'er hurriedly caught up and asked hesitantly.
I originally thought that this pretty girl just came from a slightly better family background, but I didn't expect that she was actually a princess!
Shen Wan disagreed: “It’s just an empty title, it’s no big deal.”
"Go back with the county magistrate quickly. He will help you reunite with your family."
Xiu'er shook her head, tears rolling down her smooth face.
She glanced at Xie Mubai stealthily, then fell to her knees with a plop: "I'm an orphan, and I've been homeless for a long time."
"I have no way to repay you for saving my life, my lord. I only wish I could stay by your side and serve you tea and water."
Shen Wan originally had a good impression of Xiu'er, but when she saw her secretly glancing at the villain, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
"No need." She held Xie Mubai's hand tightly and said coldly, "I already have a maid, so I don't need anyone around me for the time being."
"Besides, we still have to go to Lanyang. The mountains are high and the roads are long. It's really inconvenient to bring a delicate girl like you along."
When Xiu'er heard this, she quickly said, "I can endure hardships!"
"Princess, please have mercy on me and accept me!"
Seeing how pitiful she was, Ling Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Since my sister doesn't need you, then come back to Miaojiang with me."
Although Miaojiang is not rich, it is still enough to support one person.
Upon hearing this, Xiu'er didn't know what to do for a moment.
Her face turned pale and she stammered, "I... I just want to repay you..."
Miaojiang is full of bugs and poisons, so she doesn't want to go there.
The most important thing is that there is no prince there.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wan became more convinced of her judgment.
"Miss Ling also made great efforts to save you today." Shen Wan smiled deliberately, "It's the same if you want to repay her."
Having said this, Xiu'er could only nod reluctantly.
Soon, the group returned to the inn.
Ranqiu was surprised and happy to see them come back.
She prepared mugwort water and asked Chen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao to go back to the house to take a bath to get rid of the bad luck, while Xie Mubai could only wait downstairs.
"My Lord." Xiu'er brought the tea and walked to Xie Mubai, her eyes a little erratic, "You must be thirsty."
Xie Mubai was not stupid, so he naturally guessed what she was thinking.
He said coldly with a gloomy face: "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, otherwise it will do you no good."
"My Lord, I don't understand what you are saying." Xiu'er smiled awkwardly and said guiltily, "I just want to repay you."
"This time, thanks to the princess and the prince, otherwise I would have died without a complete body."
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
If she wasn't Ling Xiaoxiao's girl, he would have turned against her long ago.
"You're Miss Ling's maid, just serve her." He barely suppressed his inner displeasure and said coldly, "Also, don't come near me in the future. I hate ugly people!"
Upon hearing this, Xiu'er was so angry that she burst into tears.
She knew that she was not as good-looking as Shen Wan, but she was not ugly no matter what!
At this time, Shen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao finished their bath and went downstairs refreshed.
As soon as she saw the situation, Ling Xiaoxiao immediately asked, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
"No...no..." Xiu'er shook her head and choked up, "I just brought a cup of tea to the prince, how could he have misunderstood."
"I swear, I really didn't seduce the prince..."
