If it weren't for the previous trip to the Xue Mansion, Mei Jiqin would probably be very sad and at a loss at this moment, but for some reason, when she thought of Xue Huan's words that he would protect her, her heart felt particularly at peace.
Although they had only known each other for half a day, she had an inexplicable confidence in her.
Therefore, facing the clear instruction from Master Mingshan, Mei Jiqin said calmly, "Master, don't worry. I won't bring trouble to the nunnery. I will go out and explain it to Madam Jia right away."
The wet nurse slung the packed bag over her arm and followed her out.
In fact, they didn't have much to pack, just a few clothes, a few books, and some sundries, which could be put into a bundle. They had been living in poverty over the years.
Mei Jiqin thought that if life were more peaceful, she might be able to live in contentment with poverty.
But her avoidance and tolerance were met with constant oppression from those people.
There were times when she was so angry that she wanted to compromise, and she even thought about just going along with the reputation spread outside and becoming a real vixen. She couldn't bear the infamy in vain, right?
At that time, she would not only harm those men, but also use them to take revenge on their wives.
But she just thought about it in her mind and didn't actually do it.
Now, she is very glad that she did not indulge herself before, otherwise how could she meet a master as good as the Xue family?
Thinking of this, Mei Jiqin's expression became more and more calm. When she arrived at the door of the nunnery and saw Cao and the thugs behind her, she did not show the slightest fear.
"I wonder what Madam Jia wants from me?"
Cao sneered. What she couldn't stand the most was that this woman was obviously poor and lowly, but she always acted cold and arrogant, and really thought she was a lady from a wealthy family!
"What do you want? Humph, you know you deserve it? Soon I will be able to fulfill your wish."
As soon as Cao said this, the people behind her burst into laughter, staring at Mei Jiqin with obscene and impudent eyes, as if she was not wearing any clothes.
Mei Jiqin's face suddenly lost its color, and the wet nurse was shaking with anger.
"Come on, take this bitch away from me!" Cao waved his hand, and the thugs behind him rushed over like hungry wolves.
The wet nurse subconsciously wanted to take Mei Jiqin back to the nunnery, but at this moment, the door behind her slammed shut.
The nurse's heart instantly turned cold.
After all, they had lived in the nunnery for so many years. In order to repay the nunnery, she basically took on all the miscellaneous work in the nunnery, and most of the money the girls earned from working as female teachers was handed over to the nunnery.
On weekdays, he often copied scriptures for the nunnery.
The girl's handwriting of small calligraphy with hairpin flowers is so good that the copied scriptures can be enshrined in the Buddhist temple for a period of time and then sold at a high price.
It can be said that the girl has earned a lot of money for the nunnery over the years.
All the master and servant wanted was a place to live.
I didn't expect that in the end, the nunnery would treat them like this.
Seeing that those people's hands were about to fall on Mei Jiqin, Uncle Mu shouted and rushed over, blocking them.
When he was young, Uncle Mu also traveled around the world and learned some Kung Fu. Now he is old and his skills are not as good as before, but he is still full of passion. Today, even if he has to risk his old bones, he will not let these people succeed!
Uncle Mu protected Mei Jiqin and the other two as they fought and retreated towards where the carriages were parked. Cao saw his intention and roared at the thugs, "What's wrong with you not eating? You have so many people and you can't even handle an old man! Capture him now!"
When Xue Huan arrived, she saw this scene of kidnapping.
She was afraid that something might happen to Mei Jiqin, so she took a shortcut and walked along the courtyard wall and roof.
Seeing that group of people knocked down Uncle Mu, threw the wet nurse aside, and grabbed Mei Jiqin, Xue Huan shot out the stone in her hand, hitting those people like a meteor.
Suddenly, screams were heard.
Mei Jiqin subconsciously looked in the direction where the stone came from, and saw Xue Huan jumping down from the high courtyard wall, striding towards her and blocking her way.
At this moment, a moving light bloomed in her eyes.
"It's you?!" Cao blurted out when she saw Xue Huan.
Because of her ordinary or even ugly appearance, Cao has always been resistant to beautiful women. This is why she disliked Xue Huan when she met her yesterday. Now that she found out that Xue Huan knew Mei Jiqin, she disliked her even more.
Xue Huan ignored her and turned to Uncle Mu who had gotten up, saying, "Uncle Mu, please send Sister Mei and the others back first. Leave this to me."
Uncle Mu knew that the girl was capable, so he nodded without any further ado.
Mei Jiqin looked at Xue Huan worriedly, but still got into the car.
Xue Huan stepped over the fallen thugs and came to Cao. Only then did Cao realize how frightened she was. She said in a timid tone, "What do you want? Let me tell you, my father is the third in command of the Cao Gang. If you mess with me, I'll make sure you don't survive in Fengchi anymore!"
Cao Gang?
Xue Huan smiled, picked up a stone the size of a child's fist, and tossed it in her hand. "Do you see this stone?"
"Do you think I'm blind? It's just a piece of broken—"
Before she could utter the word "stone", her voice stopped abruptly, her eyes widened, staring at Xue Huan's hand in disbelief.
She crushed the stone into powder and it fell to the ground.
Cao swallowed secretly.
How profound must one's skill be to be able to crush a piece of stone into powder with bare hands? Even her father couldn't do it, right?
And this girl before me, she looked barely sixteen, right? Or was she actually one of those legendary masters with profound martial arts skills who could achieve the ability to rejuvenate?
Xue Huan clapped her hands, wiped off the stone powder on them, and put her hand on Cao's shoulder. Cao's body froze in place, not daring to move.
"Mei Jiqin is someone I'm protecting. You're not allowed to cause trouble for her again. Understand?"
Cao nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "I understand, I understand! Don't worry, from now on, if I see her on the street, I will avoid her and never bother her!"
Xue Huan was satisfied.
After a long time, Xue Huan's figure disappeared in the alley. Only then did Cao breathe a sigh of relief as if she had been saved from a desperate situation.
"Go, go, go, let's get out of here quickly!" She climbed onto the carriage impatiently and kept ordering the coachman.
The thugs who were injured by the stones got up from the ground, covered their wounds, and followed behind with difficulty.
"Dad, something terrible has happened!"
Cao did not return home but went to her parents' home. As soon as she entered the door, she cried out loudly as if she had lost her parents.
Her father was practicing boxing in the martial arts arena in the yard. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this, and continued to practice slowly. "What's wrong? Did Jia Rong make you unhappy again?"
Cao rushed over and hugged her father's arm, forcing him to stop. "No, Dad, this is really a big deal. I think I have offended a master!"
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
