Chapter 016 Abandoning Wife and Children
The next day, at dawn, Feng Aoqing and several other women started cooking again.
Because the escort had not fully recovered, she needed to cook medicine for them again.
While several other women were cooking mung bean porridge.
Feng Aoqing specifically requested this, saying that she was worried that everyone would be poisoned. Drinking some mung bean water can detoxify and relieve the heat. If the weather is too hot and someone gets sick, they won't be able to walk fast.
So we don’t usually have breakfast, but today everyone can have a bowl of mung bean porridge.
Mo Beiyuan took a look and found that the water was not so clear that you could see the bottom, but there were green beans and some rice particles.
I took a bite and found it was surprisingly sweet.
He smiled lightly, thinking that he must have taken the opportunity to secretly get some sugar while taking the mung beans!
The saying "plucking feathers from a passing goose" refers to her.
"Second brother, is...is the food in your bowl sweet?" He asked Mo Nanzhou beside him shyly.
Mo Nanzhou shook his head: "Brother, what are you thinking, sweet..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Nanzhou suddenly understood, snatched his brother's bowl and drank from it, Mo Mingyuan also ran over to grab it, and the two of them drank the bowl of porridge one sip at a time.
When their sister-in-law came back, the empty bowl fell into Mo Beiyuan's hands.
"You eat pretty fast! I'll get you another bowl." Feng Aoqing said, looking at the empty bowl.
"No, no, give mine to my brother! I'm full!" Mo Nanzhou hurriedly poured the food in his bowl to Mo Beiyuan.
Mo Beiyuan smiled and picked up the bowl to drink. Sure enough, his bowl had no taste at all.
He stared at Feng Aoqing's back in a daze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Wow, yo, yo, our brother smiles so sweetly, have you ever seen it?" Mo Nanzhou asked Mo Mingyuan.
"Let me see, can our brother laugh?" Mo Mingyuan moved in front of his face, blocking his view of Feng Aoqing.
"Get lost!" Mo Beiyuan cursed and pushed him away.
He didn't move much, but the clothes he changed in the morning were stained with fresh blood.
"Brother, the wound has spread to the city, we have to go and take a look." Mo Nanzhou stopped joking.
"It's okay. It's hot, so it's normal for it to burst." Mo Beiyuan disagreed.
Feng Aoqing had actually seen it just now. She frowned and thought that if the medicine was good, it should have started to heal. But the color of the blood...
Forget it, she has no control over this matter. If she gets involved, things will get distorted.
Everyone was getting ready to leave when they saw the second branch of the family looking for someone. It turned out that the eldest son of the second branch, Mo Hongyi, was missing.
"Maybe my brother went to the bathroom?" Mo Hongtao was not full and looked annoyed.
"No, I haven't seen him since this morning. He wasn't here when we had dinner!" His wife Sun Lingzhu was holding the child, her voice tinged with tears.
"Could he have fallen into the ditch while going to the bathroom?" His mother Fang Nianqiao was extremely worried. She only had this one son, so naturally she loved him very much.
The family was getting very anxious when grandma said, "Let's see if your precious silver is still there!"
Grandma is amazing! Feng Aoqing and Grandma looked at each other.
She had thought of it a long time ago. This guy probably ran away last night when no one was watching.
Sun Lingzhu immediately understood and hurried to look in the bag, but he didn't find it. He then searched all the things in the second house, but found nothing.
"Mo Hongyi! You are not a human being! It's fine if you don't care about me, but you don't care about the child either?! Are you going to starve him to death?!" Sun Lingzhu cursed angrily.
The second uncle and aunt both fell to the ground. They didn't expect their son to run away.
Qiao Yuegui also hugged her son and said, "Why did you take it all away? What are we going to eat? My son can't go hungry!"
The whole family was crying and wailing, it was so lively.
Grandma shook her head, expressing her dismay. She whispered, "I never thought my Mo family would have such a descendant! I'm so sorry for your grandfather. I won't even be able to face him after I die!"
You snatched food and drinks, which can be said to be for your family, and at most it is immoral. But abandoning your wife and children, not even wanting your parents, and taking away all the family property, is simply heartless.
Another person is missing, but fortunately it is not from the main household. Jiang Yi took note of it and prepared to report it one by one when he entered the city today.
The people from the second house were still crying, so Jiang Yi whipped them and threw them to the ground.
"Let's go!" He had basically recovered and his voice was still loud.
The people from the second house were also afraid of being beaten, so they could only stand up and walk away, wiping their tears.
The team set out only half an hour late. Half of Jiang Yi and his team took the car, while those who were in better health continued to ride horses and follow the team.
Because Feng Aoqing saved their lives, the few people looked at her differently and did not lock her up anymore.
She was running around for a long time yesterday before others noticed she had no lock on her body and they were surprised.
When Jiang Yi asked why the lock was removed, she stammered and didn't know how to explain.
The last female prisoner came out and confessed her crime. Her name was Tian Ying'er. She was a female prostitute on the streets of Beijing. She was sentenced to exile because she stole from the wrong person.
"Sir, it was me who did it. I saw that the young lady's hands and feet were hurt after a day's work, so I untied it for her. She should loosen it up at night and put it back on when she wakes up."
"No, no, I begged Ying'er. Don't hit her. Hit me if you want. I can bear it." Feng Aoqing would never let her take the blame.
An Jinge was about to step forward and confess her guilt, pinching her knuckles, but Mo Nanzhou got there first: "What a coincidence! But, I think it's better to cure it, right? That way I can cure the poison for you all!"
Jiang Yi escaped death and didn't care about the matter anymore. No one wanted to lock her up today.
Talking about what happened last night, Feng Aoqing asked Tian Ying'er: "Ying'er, if you really want to open the lock, what will you use?"
"Young Madam, I make a living from this! I can't tell you, but it's definitely not as big a knife as Miss An's." Tian Ying'er said with a smile.
"What are you capable of! Who did you steal from? How come you were sentenced to exile for stealing something?" An Jinge sneered.
She was thinking that this was a world of difference compared to her own sin.
"I stole...something that I shouldn't have stolen, haha." Tian Ying'er smiled slightly, which was very pretty.
She was very petite, much shorter than Feng Aoqing, while An Jinge was half a head taller than Feng Aoqing. The three of them stood side by side.
Among the four female prisoners, two are capable, and the other two are also indirectly responsible for human lives.
A woman named Yan Xiuxiu, about 25 or 26 years old, accidentally fell and hit her head when her drunken husband was beating her. Her husband's family then slandered her and she was eventually sentenced to exile.
A woman in her early twenties named Lu Xiaolian was trying to get close to a married man. She shouldn't have been exiled, but the man's wife poisoned him to death and then committed suicide by jumping into the river, leaving two people dead. So she was also imprisoned and convicted.
We walked very fast all the way today because we had to enter the city before the Yanjing City Gate closed, otherwise we would have to sleep under the city gate for a night.
When we had our dry food at noon, we only rested for less than half an hour, and with the bread still stuck in our throats, we set off again.
"If anyone walks too slowly today and prevents me from sleeping in bed, I will beat him to death!" The escort Chen Hetong seemed to have fully recovered, and his whip made a "crackling" sound.
"What an ungrateful bastard! You just saved his life, and now you have this attitude. You should have known not to save him." Tian Ying'er cursed in a low voice.
"I don't know them either. If I don't save them all, how can I know which one will be useful? Now I know he is useless. Next time, of course, I won't save him." Feng Aoqing smiled.
"Young Madam is wise." Tian Ying'er and An Jinge praised at the same time.
