Chapter 40: Turning around, I found no one behind me
Then he coughed and chuckled, "I just went out to do some work, why is someone trying to put the blame on me again?"
Now Ruan Mian had already changed out of his previous gorgeous clothes and returned with a carriage full of supplies.
Their guesses were refuted.
Even Qi Nanfeng didn't understand what she was doing.
He was clearly going to deliver it to the prefect in the morning, but now he is coming back with so many good things?
Without a second thought, he said sharply, "It seems that the prefect has given you a lot of benefits. After all, you are young and beautiful. Why didn't you treat me so attentively when we got married?"
After saying this, Liu came over to add fuel to the fire.
"Why did you bring this jinx back again?! Her entire family was murdered. Aren't you afraid the murderers will follow us and implicate our entire team?"
"Ruan Mian, Ruan Mian, I think you really don't take our lives seriously!"
As he said this, he rushed to Xixi and pointed at her nose and cursed her.
Ruan Mian wanted to step forward, but Mei Xi suddenly grabbed her hand and folded it back!
There was a loud snapping sound, and the sound of bones breaking was heard immediately, causing Liu to scream in pain.
The officers were so tired of her shouting that their ears were almost callused.
I simply took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it directly into her mouth to prevent her from making any sound.
Qi Nanfeng's face changed drastically, and he wanted to say something, but Ruan Mian ignored him.
She held several large boxes and enthusiastically distributed some noodles to everyone, even the people in the uncle's house got some.
I also distributed some newly purchased small copper stoves and told them about it.
"This little copper stove is much warmer than the pottery we had before. I'll light some charcoal and put it in there to keep warm. I also bought some charcoal."
And she also took down a pot of chicken soup.
This was what she moved from Ding Cheng's residence. In addition, there were many other delicious foods, but they were not taken out at once.
She called Cuizhu over and said, "Zhu'er, go heat up the chicken soup and use it to soak the rice for everyone."
Now that the natural disaster has come, it’s good enough to have something to eat, how can we expect to eat meat?
Ruan Mian's move was completely beyond their expectations.
Who would care about the people in Qi's house now? The officials all lit the stove enthusiastically and waited for this moment all day.
Seeing this group of people working so hard, while my family members were all covered in dust and dirt.
The old mother, Mrs. Liu, was in so much pain that she was crying, and her mentally unclear sister was nowhere to be found.
Obviously, they were Ruan Mian's in-laws, but she would rather share the food with the unrelated Bo Mansion than give any to the Qi Mansion!
Qi Nanfeng only felt the anger all over his body, like a flood rolling in from a broken dam!
He gritted his teeth, limped to Ruan Mian, and clamped her arm tightly.
Facing his scarlet eyes, Ruan Mian remained indifferent and then smiled sarcastically.
"Why? Master Qi, are you here to ask for a bowl of chicken soup?"
Qi Nanfeng was choked by Ruan Mian's words. Before he could say anything, Ruan Mian decisively shook off his hand and left without looking back.
At the end, she did not forget to tell him: "I would rather feed it to the dog than give it to you. After all, a good dog is much more useful than you."
Just one short sentence made Qi Nanfeng feel a tingling sensation all over his body.
His back teeth were almost broken, and he stared at Ruan Mian's back in disbelief, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
How did the woman who had been a widow at home and worked hard for him become like this now?!?
Could it be that he has changed the person?
He couldn't believe it.
But the matter did not settle down at this moment, and there was noise outside the post station again.
"Bitch! Where do you want to run to, bitch? I'm telling you, I'm the master's woman. How dare you steal my master's purse? I'll beat you to death!"
The noise outside caught Ruan Mian's attention.
Not only her, but even the officials and several old women who were watching the show couldn't help but walk out.
Unexpectedly, the person who ran towards the post station breathlessly was Qi Lin, who was in a mess.
She was still wearing the clothes she had worn when entering the mansion. Although she looked disheveled at the moment, her arms and legs were exposed, which made the maids look down on her.
Everyone started talking about it.
"Oh, it seems that what Nanny He said was right. This girl from the Qi family is really shameless. Look, isn't she wearing the clothes of those women from before? She wants to sneak into the prefectural government and seduce the official so that she can escape from the exile group!"
"A good young girl like Liu actually came up with such shameless ideas. What a good daughter Liu has taught her."
"That's right! He even stole someone's things and was chased to his door!"
Mrs. Liu also followed the sound and came over. Seeing that it was Qi Lin, she hurried forward and said, "Linlin! My daughter, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
The woman in gorgeous clothes who was chasing after them saw this scene and immediately understood.
She snorted, "So he's an exiled prisoner?"
Then she threatened the approaching officer, "Sir, this lowly criminal of yours came into my house, took advantage of my master's murder, stole his purse and ran away. There are many valuables in it, all of which belong to my family! Why don't you make her hand it over immediately!"
Ruan Mian's eyebrows moved slightly. It seemed that Qi Lin took advantage of the chaos to steal something and escape from the prefecture.
However, he was unexpectedly caught by this woman... who was not sure whether she was the magistrate's concubine or his wife, and she chased him all the way.
At this moment, Qi Lin still refused to let go and growled at her.
"That thing isn't yours! Besides, the prefect was skinned and hung on the city wall for public display. Who are you trying to threaten? You're just a family member of a criminal. Aren't you afraid of being arrested and exiled by the governor?"
When the woman heard this, she was furious: "How dare you curse me?"
As he spoke, he looked around. Seeing this, Ruan Mian took out a piece of silver and handed it to the official beside him.
Then he gave another look.
The officer immediately understood what he meant and without saying a word, he turned around and handed the bucket of horse manure from the stable to the woman.
The woman picked up the bucket and poured Qi Lin all over her from head to toe without hesitation!
Suddenly, the pungent smell hit their noses. Everyone covered their noses and stepped back with disgust on their faces.
Even Liu retreated!
Qi Lin stood there in a daze. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the horse manure on the tip of his nose fell into his mouth.
This caused the others to burst into laughter.
The woman felt relieved. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Qi Lin, cursing him to the bone, saying all kinds of dirty words. Even Liu, who was always good at talking, found it difficult to refute her.
Qi Nanfeng felt even more ashamed and didn't even show his face.
Qi Lin looked eagerly for help from her mother and others, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one behind her.
Her emotions suddenly lost control, and she shouted at Liu: "Mother, you won't help me?! Who am I doing all this for?!"
