Chapter 23 You and I share the same values
Seeing everyone's anxiety, the aunt didn't keep them in suspense. "I was passing by the alley on my way home when I saw Li Yuhe standing with a beggar woman. She seemed to feel pity for her, so she gave her a piece of silver. Then the beggar suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yuhe.
The crying girl's face was covered with tears, saying that Li Lan's daughter Xiaoyuan was tied up in the cellar of her home by her daughter.
"Is her daughter called Xu Cuilan? The unfilial daughter who abused her ex-wife and children, was divorced by her husband, and then forced her own mother to beg for food to support her?"
"Isn't it this heartless beast? I usually only call this person sarcastic, lazy and unfilial, but I never thought that he would do such a heinous thing."
"What about her mother?"
"This matter has nothing to do with her. She goes out to beg for food all day long. She only discovered Xiaoyuan by chance this morning and asked her daughter to let him go. But the vicious woman refused to do so. She beat her mother and sent her out to beg for food."
"You're not a human being."
"Just a beast."
Everyone cursed, but the aunt continued with a look of surprise,
"It was such a coincidence, isn't it? She ran into Li Yuhe right after her daughter kicked her out of the house. Li Yuhe was kindhearted and felt sorry for her begging at her age, so she gave her a few taels of silver. But she saw the money and broke down on the spot, telling me she had been looking for her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for a year."
"I've also heard about that beggar's mother. She's endured so much for her worthless daughter over the years, and she never once complained."
"That's right. Luckily, she was beaten by her daughter and was feeling hopeless. Li Yuhe happened to walk over there and gave her money out of kindness. Otherwise, there's no telling what this person would have done for her daughter."
"Yes, that's what good things do to good people."
"God is watching over us!"
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, but Xiao Lezi was the only one who was stunned in shock.
How could such a coincidence happen in this world?
Li Yuhe would show up and give money, that was clearly all Madam Xiao's order. He laughed at that time and thought Madam Xiao was like a charlatan.
"This..." Xiao Lezi's eyes widened, "Could it be that Madam Xiao is really good at predicting things?"
East Market, Laba Hutong.
Xu Cuilan, who was being held by the police, jumped up and down, cursing her mother for betraying her in the most vicious language.
Her mother was thin and small, wearing tattered old clothes, with her head hung and silent.
Li Yuhe was crying silently while holding her daughter who was covered in wounds and skinny.
After being angrily scolded by the yamen runners, Xu Cuilan stated a motive for the crime that everyone found ridiculous.
The reason she kidnapped Li Yuhe's daughter Xu Yuan was simply because they both had the same surname, Xu.
But one of them was a young lady from a wealthy family. She was cute and pretty, and her parents loved her very much. They also found many talented young men for her to meet.
Xu Cuilan came from a poor family and lost her father early. She married a widower whose wife had died, and was eventually driven back home by her husband's family.
While strolling at a night market one day, she met Xu Yuan, who was pampered by her family, and she felt endless malice towards him.
Then he followed him quietly for more than half a month, and finally took advantage of the other party's servants' carelessness and used injury as an excuse to trick them into a deserted place, knocked them unconscious and brought them back.
Xu Cuilan was jealous and resentful of everything Xu Yuan got, so she would vent her anger and beat him up every day to relieve her hatred.
There was crying and noise in the dilapidated courtyard, but it did not affect the bunch of lilacs blooming in the corner at night.
The subtle fragrance spread quietly in the night, a cool breeze blew, and the small and cute petals were blown away by the wind.
It floated over the heads of everyone in the courtyard and flew to a higher place under the night sky.
Suddenly, a slender white hand on the roof grabbed it, then playfully put it in the palm of its hand and blew it away with its pink little mouth.
Watching the flowers flying, Xiao Tu's eyebrows curved, and she glanced at the man behind her with satisfaction, "How is it, Your Highness? Does this scene suit your taste?"
Ning Cuo was lazily leaning against the eaves, wearing a gorgeous dark purple embroidered robe that wrapped around his slender and sexy body. His long hair, which was even darker and more gorgeous than a woman's, fluttered in the cool night breeze. He had a strange and beautiful face, and smiled lazily and carefreely. On such a moonlit night, he looked like a demon.
He curled his beautiful lips coldly, "Evil will be punished, it's a good ending. But that old beggar woman, did she really not know that her daughter had been doing evil all this year?"
Xiao Tu smiled, "Who knows? The good and evil of human nature are often unreasonable. A mother can endure years of beatings and insults from her children, and suffer for her daughter without a single complaint, yet she can betray her daughter without hesitation just because of a stranger's kindness."
Ning Cuo raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, smiling faintly, "So human nature cannot be explained, and people cannot be trusted."
Xiao Tu leaned into the fragrant embrace that seemed to be woven with endless dangers, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Since none of them can be trusted, then don't trust any of them."
Ning Cuo's evil smile deepened, "The mortal world is like a play, and all living beings are puppets."
"So life is short, we need to enjoy it while we can," Xiao Tu smiled and tilted her head. "Brother, you and I have the same values!"
Ning Cuo smiled wantonly and leaned forward. Under the pressure of a powerful and dangerous fragrance, he opened his lips with a deadly temptation, "Then brother is about to start enjoying himself..."
"Hmm~"
The bright moon shyly hides behind the clouds, the faint fragrance slowly fills the space, the enchantment dances in the darkness, and the flower of desire blooms enchantingly.
Golden Palace Tower.
Yu Feng'er was wearing a golden-red pomegranate skirt, spinning quickly to the moving sound of the piano. The colorful ribbons accompanied the red skirt flying in the air, and she was as beautiful and dazzling as a phoenix flapping its wings.
The Jade Prince held a wine glass in his hand, his cold eyes smiling as he stared at the dancing woman.
Yu Feng'er curled her red lips upon seeing this, then turned her body and walked towards the man. Just as she was getting close, the man suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Yu Feng'er leaned into the man's arms and smiled shyly, "Your Majesty."
Prince Jade looked at her delicate face in fascination, raised his hand and stroked it, "Feng'er's dancing has become more and more exquisite recently, making this prince unable to take his eyes off her.
Yu Feng'er smiled sweetly, "I have nothing to do all day, so I just practice dancing more."
The Jade King paused after hearing this and said, "It's my fault, if..."
Yu Feng'er quickly blocked his lips and said, "Don't blame the prince, it was Feng'er who promised me that if Princess Rongchang doesn't enter the mansion, I will never enter the mansion."
"But letting you stay in Jinque Tower is ultimately unfair to you."
"Feng'er, don't feel wronged. You and the princess have a deep bond since childhood, and you are infatuated with her. If it weren't for the princess's kindness and generosity, how could I, a prostitute, deserve the prince's favor? People should not be too greedy."
The Jade Prince didn't say much, but patted her shoulder.
He didn't make any solemn promises, but he knew very well who was sincere and devoted to him.
