Chapter 14 How Kind I Am

Xu Muhua’s words gave those people hope, and they waited eagerly for the yamen runner to bring back good news. The people watching around were also discussing in silence, some believed it, and some did not, wondering how a little girl like Xu Muhua could know such a thing.

The atmosphere at the scene began to become tense, and the old woman was sweating profusely. Her wrinkled face was pale and her eyes were flickering.

But she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. She could only kneel down obediently, forgetting even the pain in her knees, and could only pray in her heart that her accomplice escaped, and it would be best if the child was transferred as well.

Unfortunately, just when everyone was getting impatient, the yamen runner finally came back!

"Sir, we did find the kidnapped children at the location Miss Xu said, and we also caught a few beggars!"

The old woman collapsed to the ground immediately after hearing this.

It's over, it's over! It's all over now!

She didn't understand, how did this little bastard know their hiding place? This hiding place has been in Dajing Hutong for several years and has never been wrong! How did it get known this time, and why did it fall into such a big trouble?

The prefect was also puzzled! How did the young lady of the Chengguo Mansion know about this?

Facing the prefect's question, Xu Muhua said earnestly: "Sir, it doesn't matter how I knew it. What's important is that you caught the beggar and rescued the kidnapped child! Sir, you must seize the opportunity. It's best to destroy their lair in one fell swoop! Lest more innocent people be harmed!"

The prefect felt ashamed when he heard her say this!

In the end, it was more important to catch the accomplice, so the prefect had to let Xu Muhua go back first.

Pei Shaorong was still confused on the way back! She felt like she was dreaming, her mind was still in a mess, and she was completely confused.

Seeing that they were almost at the Duke Cheng's Mansion, she came to her senses and immediately grabbed Xu Muhua's hand and asked, "Muhua, what happened just now? How did you know those things?"

How did you know? She said that the mouse told her, but Arong wouldn't believe it, right?

This made her a little worried.

"Arong," Xu Muhua looked at Pei Shaorong seriously, "Actually, I had a dream last night. In the dream, an old man with a long white beard told me that if I met an old woman harassing me when I go out on the street today, I should try to send her to the yamen, saying that the old woman was a beggar who had kidnapped many children, and asked me to save those poor children!"

"I am such a kind person. When I heard about such a thing, of course I felt obligated to do it! I agreed to him very readily in my dream. I didn't take it seriously after I woke up, but I didn't expect that I would really meet an old woman harassing me! I did what the old man said in the dream, but I didn't expect that there really was a beggar!" She

spoke in a rhythmic manner, and Pei Shaorong and the others were stunned.

"This... is this true? Did you really dream about it?"

Pei Shaorong was stunned and felt extremely surprised.

Xu Muhua looked at her seriously: "Of course it is true, Ah Rong, how can I lie to you? You are my best friend! In fact, I also find it very magical, very surprising, and very unbelievable! If it had not been proven by facts, I would not believe it!"

She said it seriously, and Pei Shaorong could not help but believe and accept her statement. Her palm-sized face was even a little envious!

"Muhua, you are amazing, you can dream about such a thing!"

She could not dream, and the things she dreamed about were all very common, like fluttering butterflies or something.

Xu Muhua blinked and said dryly: "It's, it's not bad."

If it was really a dream, it might not be a good thing.

Fearing that she would continue to dwell on this topic, Xu Muhua quickly said, "Arong, you go back first. We are really scared by what happened today. Let's go back and have a good rest! I also want to go back and talk to my mother about this." Someone

from Jingzhao Prefecture will definitely come to question them later.

Pei Shaorong nodded, said a few words of concern, and then got on the sedan chair and went back to the mansion. Xu Muhua also hurried into the mansion in small steps.

After hearing what her daughter said, Xu's mother was also confused. She even wanted to reach out and clean her ears. She wondered if she hadn't cleaned her ears for too long, causing serious impact on her hearing.

Otherwise, how could she hear her daughter say that she helped the Jingzhao prefect catch a nest of beggars?

Xu Muhua didn't want to deal with the inquiries at first, and slipped back to her own yard before she recovered from her shock. Then, she went to the beauty couch and groaned, saying that she had a headache and needed to rest.

When Xu's mother recovered from her shock and brought people over, she felt distressed when she heard Shi Liu say that her daughter had a headache and wanted to rest. She had to suppress her doubts and go back to the main courtyard first. As

Xu Muhua expected, someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came soon and wanted to question Xu Muhua.

Facing the inquiries from the government, Xu Muhua still said the same thing. As for whether others believed it or not, she didn't care!

What could she do if they didn't believe it? Could they still suspect that she had an improper relationship with those people? She was a lady from a wealthy family, raised in a secluded place and unknown to anyone. How could she have an improper relationship with Pai Huazi?

Xu Muhua said this to everyone. Although everyone was skeptical, there was no evidence to prove anything else, so they had to believe her.

The people from Jingzhao Prefecture left quickly, and Xu Muhua thought that the matter was over and had nothing to do with her.

But she didn't expect that just one day later, someone from Jingzhao Prefecture came again!

This time it was the prefect who came in person. When Xu Muhua was puzzled, the prefect himself didn't know how to start.

He gave Xu's mother a look, suggesting that she help.

Speaking of which, the prefect and Duke Cheng are actually good friends, and they are also friends with Xu's mother, so there are not so many unfamiliar etiquettes between them.

Xu's mother twitched her lips.

She thought this man was really crazy. If he wants to say it, let him say it himself!

She turned her eyes away.

Helpless, the prefect could only look at Xu Muhua and laugh twice, and then praised her a few times before getting to the point: "Well, my niece, about the beggar..."

He lowered his voice, a little expectant, a little ashamed, and a little nervously asked: "Did the gods in your dream tell you where their nests are in other places?"
