Chapter 197 Then he offered it with eager eyes, begging Ruan Mian to spare his life.
Ruan Mian sat calmly behind the screen, waiting for him to hand over the slavery books with both hands.
"Hero...Heroine, these...these are the slavery books of those people."
Ruan Mian took it and looked at it, and found that these people were sentenced to slavery for various ridiculous reasons. This city lord, for his own selfish reasons, disregarded the lives of others and did not hesitate to put these ridiculous labels on people, destroying a person and even a family.
She looked at the city lord calmly, and he assessed the situation and immediately took out the pen and paper and knelt on the ground to change the status of these people as good people.
Then he offered it with eager eyes, begging Ruan Mian to spare his life.
But the next moment, he felt a chill suddenly pass through his neck, and after feeling the warm blood gushing out uncontrollably, he was so scared that his eyes seemed to pop out!
The pain of blood loss caused him to collapse to the ground, and he could only watch helplessly as he bled to death, being tortured to death bit by bit by the pain...
Ruan Mian dropped the throat-cutting dagger, looked around, and moved everything in the study into the space.
Especially the private vault behind the bookshelf. Once it was opened, there was a whole box of gold bars and two other boxes of silver ingots.
These are hidden here, they must have been plundered from the people.
She left the rest of the mansion untouched and emptied out all the private vaults and precious porcelain and painting collections in the study.
Afterwards, he took the documents for restoration of his status as a good citizen and handed them over to a person who had been arranged outside Tuji Mansion.
This was a slave she brought out from the gold mine. He was in his prime, but had been tortured to the point of being emaciated and unrecognizable.
Trusting Ruan Mian was his last gamble when he was at his wit's end.
Now that they saw that she had indeed restored their status as good citizens, they burst into tears of joy and knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, young lady! I can never repay you for saving my life! You are our rebirth..."
"No need to thank me, this is what I promised you. I just hope you can promise to do that for me."
"Don't worry, young lady! That matter isn't just yours. It's also for your own good, providing us with a way to survive. We will do our best to raise those mountain insects for you!"
Ruan Mian knew that it was not easy for them to get out alive.
I believe everyone will cherish this hard-earned normal life.
So we paved a road for them to raise the silkworms.
"That's good. Come back to Tuji in two days and he'll tell you exactly what to do. Also, there will be a charity event outside Tuji's mansion in the next two days. If you can't find a place to stay for the time being, you can come outside the mansion to collect some money to fill your stomach."
"girl……"
He was a tall and strong man, but at this moment, his face was covered in tears.
It seems that the only way to express my gratitude is to kowtow continuously.
Ruan Mian helped her up and chuckled, "I'm not a savior. I just do some good deeds within my ability based on my conscience."
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I am also accumulating merit for myself. The rest of the journey will be up to you all to walk on your own."
After saying this, she turned around and wanted to walk into the mansion, but unexpectedly, Lord Song was standing in front of her staring at her.
Ruan Mian touched his nose, knowing that there were some things that could not be concealed.
She walked up to him obediently and opened her mouth: "Sir, what is the situation in the mansion at the moment?"
Xie Huaian told her truthfully: "Jiang Dao and others have been sent out of the city by those people. There is no loss in the mansion. I will place your cousin and his wife in the main house."
"Thanks."
She smiled slightly, and sighed deeply in the face of Xie Huaian's meaningful gaze.
"Sir, I did hide some things from you. I just felt that I was enough on my own."
"You mean you sent me away under the pretext of asking me to take care of Jiang Zhen, while you went to the gold mine and rescued those slaves?"
Xie Huaian moved closer to her and whispered, "One night is not enough for a round trip. Madam is indeed extraordinary. However... everyone has unspeakable difficulties. Madam, don't worry about it. I won't ask any more questions."
After saying this, his eyes showed heartache. He looked at her and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.
"As long as you are safe, I will be relieved."
He then took Ruan Mian's hand and led her into the mansion.
Ruan Mian didn't expect that he could think so clearly. Since he didn't ask any further questions, she didn't have to find excuses to make up a story.
It is not easy to find a close friend.
What’s more, he is a close friend like Xie Huaian.
…
Inside the mansion.
Qin Sang carefully fed Jiang Zhen the medicine.
Her body, which had been recovering, was tortured for a long time after being captured by Jiang Dao. The old injuries and new injuries made Qin Sang's face full of tears. It was not until she saw Ruan Mian coming that she wiped her tears and bowed.
Jiang Zhen was also very grateful and wanted to get off the bed, but was stopped in time by Ruan Mian.
"Cousin, there's no need for us to say anything. I saved you for my aunt."
"The two of you can just rest and recover. Jiang Dao has received the punishment he deserves, and everything in Tuji's mansion will be returned to you."
"Mianmian! Mother..." Jiang Zhen choked up a bit, then calmed down and said, "I want to go see my mother."
"There's no rush to see your aunt. Besides, she'll definitely be distressed if you see her in your current state. Why don't you and your wife take advantage of this time to rest and recuperate?"
"I will write the prescriptions for the next course of treatment, and I will also prepare some special medicines. I will then hand them over to the servants and ask them to take care of you."
There were many loyal servants in the mansion, but due to Jiang Dao's threat, they could only be sent to the firewood room, toilet and other places to do cleaning.
Now that Jiang Dao and his wife have paid the corresponding price, they can return to normal life.
Ruan Mian made arrangements for this, everything was in order and not a single detail was missed.
He also told Jiang Zhen about the rescued slaves, took out a purse filled with heavy silver ingots, and handed it to Qin Sang.
"Cousin, my cousin may not be able to get out of bed for the next two days, so you will need to take care of things like giving alms."
Qin Sang quickly refused: "Mianmian, no! This is your living expenses. As for the alms, I still have some dowry hidden away. This will be enough to supplement your income. Mianmian, don't worry."
"Besides, you risked your life to save us, so why would we charge you any money? We will do whatever you ask us to do, no matter what."
Hearing this, Ruan Mian frowned slightly.
He discovered their difficulty: "But this mansion...the family property is not there?"
Last time, she only took some goods from the private storehouse, and did not see more gold, silver and treasures. Logically speaking, Jiang Dao and Anyang were both dead now, and retaking the entire mansion would only be a small donation, and there would be no need to use Qin Sang's dowry.
