Shanshan's mother said, "Manager Shang, we can't just let this go. We spent all our money on Shanshan's medical treatment and medicine today. We still have to change the medicine later. We don't know if she will develop a chronic disease. You also know the conditions of my family..."
"That's enough!" Manager Shang interrupted her and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you get justice, but justice is not on your side."
Zhuzi's mother said, "Even if Shanshan was the first to attack, she couldn't have beaten the child so harshly. And our Zhuzi was said to have fainted. I haven't even asked a doctor to see him yet. We must ask them for an explanation for this matter."
"Speak up! You want to be heard, but in your heart you just want to get some benefits from others. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You could make trouble when you met other people before, but you really can't do it this time."
Shan Shan Niang said: "Why not? Do they have reason to beat people?"
Zhuzi's mother also said: "Yes, are we just going to let them be so rampant?"
Manager Shang pinched his brows helplessly and sighed, "I'll tell you the truth. The person Shanshan pushed down today was the princess, the eldest daughter of the Rui Palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stopped making noise.
The prince, he is a figure that ordinary people like them can only hear of in rumors. Moreover, in the Tiangan Kingdom, Prince Rui is a symbol of being second only to the emperor and above all others.
Manager Shang continued, "I called you here to tell you the pros and cons of this matter. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. It depends on whether you can understand the current situation."
Having said all, they looked at each other and finally decided to go to the man's house to apologize.
…
In this side room, Jiang Muyu was standing by the river, looking at the most suitable section to divert water from, when suddenly the guards from the palace came to report that Nanxing was in trouble.
This guard was sent by Yunyan, and he explained the whole story in detail on the way.
Although Jiang Muyu knew that Nanxing was a killer in the book, Nanxing was already seventeen years old at that time. Now Nanxing is only seven years old, but he didn't expect that he has such extraordinary skills.
It would be a good thing if she could protect Tangtang closely, because then maybe Tangtang would not be assassinated like in the book.
However, Nanxing's identity is too special. Once exposed, Jiang Muyu is afraid that he and the Rui Palace will also be implicated.
She was thinking as she walked, and when she returned to the courtyard gate, she happened to meet a group of people led by Manager Shang who came to apologize.
When Manager Shang saw her, he immediately bowed, and the others followed suit, "Greetings to the Princess."
Jiang Muyu quickly said, "Okay, didn't I say to keep a low profile?"
"Yes, yes." Manager Shang stood up quickly.
Jiang Muyu said: "I already know roughly what happened, you guys go into the house first."
She walked into the courtyard and the others followed.
Tangtang had changed her clothes and came out, led by Yunyan. When she saw her, Tangtang immediately called out "Mom".
Jiang Muyu touched her head, looked at the people who came in and said, "Are you here to find me to accuse me?"
"No, no." Shan Shan Niang said nervously, "Madam, I am here to make amends for my unfilial daughter."
"oh?"
"It was our Shanshan who was at fault first. She should never have pushed the princess."
Jiang Muyu looked at her with a half-smile, "Do you think so too?"
Shan Shan Niang lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes, yes."
"Your daughter hurt my daughter, and someone close to me hurt your daughter. Let's just write it off. I heard that Nanxing was a bit too harsh. So, let me reimburse you for your daughter's medical expenses today."
A glimmer of joy flashed across Shan Shan Niang's eyes, and she quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."
Jiang Muyu asked someone to bring her a copper coin and asked, "But is it so much?"
Shan Shan Niang originally thought that the princess would at least give her one or two taels of silver, but she only gave her a copper coin. She was dissatisfied, but she did not dare to show it too much. She said, "It is indeed this much."
Jiang Muyu naturally noticed her displeasure and sneered in her heart: "You really think I'm a sucker. I'm being kind enough to pay for your medical expenses!"
She went on to say, "You bullied Nanxing, you should go and apologize to her in person."
Several people were stunned and looked at her suspiciously. Who is bullying whom?
Jiang Muyu looked calm and composed, "I have heard everything. You are the ones who are outnumbered and bullying the weak. Nanxing was just defending at best. The fault is yours."
The three little boys looked at each other, with reluctance on their faces, but they were also very afraid of facing the princess.
Zhuzi was the first to ask, "Where is Nanxing?"
Jiang Muyu pointed to the room on the right with the door tightly closed and said, "It's inside. You can knock on the door yourself."
Why do they feel that the princess seems a little afraid of Nanxing?
Jiang Muyu could only silently say in his heart: "Nonsense, she is a cold-blooded female killer who can kill with one step. Who would not be afraid if they met her?"
Zhuzi was scared after being beaten and didn't dare to knock on the door. In the end, Huzi went forward and knocked on the door. The next second, the door opened from the inside, and Nanxing stood at the door, looking at them coldly.
"What?"
Hu Zi bit his saliva subconsciously and stammered, "Apologize."
Nan Xing crossed her arms over her chest, leaned against the door frame, and said lazily and indifferently, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
The three little boys stood in a row, bowed in unison, and said, "I'm sorry."
"I can't hear you, speak louder." Nanxing pretended to pick his ears.
The three of them blushed, raised their voices, and said "I'm sorry" in unison.
Nan Xing then waved his hands and said, "Okay, it's okay."
The three of them felt annoyed and ashamed as they were being toyed with in public and had no way to resist.
After coming out of the courtyard, Shang Xiaozhen hid beside her father and wished she could escape immediately, because her father was the supervisor and she had always been the center of attention in Lihua Manor. What happened today really made her lose face.
Fortunately, the princess did not pursue the matter, otherwise she was not sure if she could distance herself from the matter as frankly as her father had said.
On Jiang Muyu's side, she heard Yunyan say that when Tangtang was pushed down, Nanxing rushed over and grabbed Tangtang's head to prevent Tangtang from suffering any serious injuries, and her heart was moved.
She felt that this child was pitiful. At such a young age, she had to face the destruction of her country and her family, and became homeless. No one knew how much she had suffered in the process of becoming a killer. If...
She looked at Nanxing's back as he was about to close the door and go into the house, and said, "Can you tell me why you want to go to the capital?"
Nan Xing paused in closing the door, and without turning back, he said with his back to her: "It's just for my life."
Jiang Muyu just felt a lump in his throat and said nothing more.
…
As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Muyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, with many scenes flashing through his mind.
After traveling through the book for so long, she still often feels confused. In the past, in the modern world, she felt that she was very unfortunate, with no parents, suffering from a terminal illness, and facing death at a young age.
Once she was transmigrated into the book, she found that not only her parents were still alive, she had a son and a daughter, and her family was considered happy, but she always felt empty in her heart.
There are too many uncertainties now. Some things happened according to the plot in the book, but some things went off track.
She wanted to change the plot, but was not sure if she could do it. According to the original novel, she would gradually lose everything. Four years later, Liang Qingchen died, and then the Marquis' Mansion was suddenly involved in a rebellion and the entire mansion was exiled. Three years later, Liang Jingtang was assassinated, and then she was imprisoned in the women's prison.
The most terrifying thing in the world is not never having it, but having it.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She couldn't fall asleep and got up.
She put on a cloak, stood up and walked out of the house, stood in the middle of the courtyard, and when she looked up, she saw the sky full of stars.
"Princess, why are you still not asleep so late?" A slightly childish female voice interrupted her thoughts.
Jiang Muyu was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nanxing sitting on the eaves of the roof, looking at her with his eyes lowered, as if smiling.
