Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small figure walking out from behind the corner. It was Zhao Dani from Zhao Zhuang's family!
Mo Qiu waved the child over and asked, "You just said that your father lied?"
Just as Zhao Dani was about to speak, she met her father's fierce gaze and immediately shut her mouth!
Seeing this, Mo Qiu did not question the child, but only said to Zhao Zhuang:
"Even if this kid doesn't say anything, you should know exactly what you did! Do you think we're just here to eat for free?"
As soon as these words came out, four or five secret guards suddenly walked out from behind Mo Qiu, which really scared Zhao Zhuang!
He actually didn't know that the rich lady's attendant never slept!
Seeing this, he grabbed Zhao Dani and ran away, shouting as he ran:
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved you! Such good intentions go unrewarded!"
The secret guard behind was about to follow, but Mo Qiu raised his hand to stop him.
He glanced towards a direction not far away in the darkness and said, "It won't be too late to catch him after daybreak."
Although Mo Qiu suppressed the matter, it still disturbed Si Jinxing who was sleeping in the room with her clothes on.
She put on her cloak, walked out of the room, and asked, "What happened?"
Bai Xi glanced at Mo Qiu who had entered the courtyard and said:
"That one ounce of silver attracted a petty thief who didn't know his place!"
Unexpectedly, just as Bai Xi finished speaking, a clear cry accompanied by low sounds of beating and scolding broke the silence of the night!
Si Jinxing and Qingchan beside her looked at each other. Wasn't this the same sound they heard when they entered the village during the day?
Mo Qiu stepped forward and told him everything that had just happened.
Finally, he added, "I'm afraid Zhao Zhuang took action because he saw that the child told the truth!"
Si Jinxing was blown by the cold wind and was no longer sleepy.
She tightened her cloak and walked towards the yard where the crying and shouting were getting quieter and quieter, along with Qingchan, Moqiu and Baixi!
When they walked outside the yard, they could hear the sounds of beating and scolding inside clearly!
"You little bastard! How dare you criticize your father in public? I think you're tired of living!"
"Why don't you die? If I hadn't given birth to a money-loser like you, why would my life be so difficult?"
Is it Liu Mei who is speaking?
Si Jinxing didn't even know that a mother could actually say such words?
It's not such a lenient way to favor boys over girls, right?
Liu Mei is also a woman, and she knows how difficult it is for women, but she still pushes her misfortune onto her children!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Zhuang started punching and kicking!
"Evil creature! As soon as the sun rises, I will take you to the city and sell you for money!"
Then, the child begged for mercy with his dying breath:
"Daddy, no."
When Si Jinxing heard the weak voice, her heart tightened and she quickly glanced at Mo Qiu.
Mo Qiu raised his foot and kicked hard, knocking down the door of Zhao Zhuang's house!
The sound of the wooden door falling heavily scared Zhao Zhuang and Liu Mei, who were beating and scolding the children in the yard!
When he saw who was coming, Zhao Zhuang took a step back guiltily, but then he thought that this was his own yard, how could these people dare to act rashly?
Thinking of this, he straightened his back and asked:
"I wonder why these distinguished people have come here so late at night?"
Liu Mei just found out that her husband had indeed done that.
Although burning down the Feng family's yard was not a glorious thing, wasn't it all due to that noble man?
She is dressed so exquisitely, she must have plenty of money. Why can't she give me a few more taels of silver? She even made my husband do it himself because he had no choice!
She glanced at the noble lady in the light of the fire and saw that she was wearing a red cloak with white edges, and she could vaguely see that it was embroidered with silver thread.
Although she couldn't see clearly what the pattern was embroidered on it, she could tell that a cloak like this would probably not be bought with even ten taels of silver.
Liu Mei couldn't help but think that if her man had succeeded, this cloak might have been hers!
Thinking of this, she glared hatefully at Zhao Dani who was lying on the ground!
It must be that this damn girl followed her father and made some noise, which is why she was discovered!
Si Jinxing walked up to the child and saw that the child was pursing his lips and trying hard to hold back his tears!
But the tear marks on her dirty little face still betrayed her grievances and pain.
Si Jinxing took the handkerchief handed to her by Qingchan and wiped the child's face, only to see a red pinch mark on her neck!
sky......
Do this couple really want to strangle this child to death?
She wanted to help Zhao Dani up, but when she touched the child, she heard the little girl hiss.
Si Jinxing was slightly startled, then immediately rolled up the child's thin sleeves.
I saw that the child's thin arms were covered with bruises, with new wounds overlapping old ones!
She handed the child to Qingchan, stood up, looked at Zhao Zhuang, and asked:
"I don't live in your yard, so I want to get the one or two taels of silver back."
Zhao Zhuang's face darkened when he heard this. He stiffened his neck and shouted:
"It's your own fault for not living there. What does it have to do with me? The money is already mine, so don't even think about taking it back!"
Humph, this is our Zhao Family Village, don't act like a tyrant just because you have a few followers!"
Si Jinxing stared at the man intently, and instead of responding, asked:
"So you wanted to burn down Aunt Feng's yard to get more money?"
Zhao Zhuang was hit on the heartstrings, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he still shouted at the top of his voice:
