Chapter 486: Seeking Help
As a woman herself, Zhang Juexia saw that the woman kneeling on the ground also had a big belly. She really couldn't bear it and signaled Li Yun to help her up.
Mengxiang didn't want to get up at first, which meant that if you don't agree to help me, I won't get up.
Zhang Juexia didn't indulge her, "Since you need something from me, you should listen to me.
Don't act pitiful in front of me, I won't fall for it."
After saying these two sentences, Mengxiang stood up obediently.
Zhang Juexia gave her another look, motioning her to sit down.
Mengxiang sat down without saying a word.
Only then did Zhang Juexia take a closer look at her. She was indeed quite pretty. Although she was now pregnant, she still had a kind of charm that made people feel pity for her.
Zhang Juexia knew that this kind of woman, who had lived in brothels, must have many tricks up her sleeve.
She must first maintain her momentum, otherwise, she might really be deceived by such a person.
"Tell me, why did you come to me crying and making a fuss? I advise you to tell the truth. I am not the kind of person who can be fooled.
If things go wrong, I will drag you before the authorities, and then your husband, a scholar, will be implicated."
Mengxiang was not frightened by Zhang Juexia. She calmly stretched out her right hand and made a vow, "I, Mengxiang, really have nowhere else to turn, so I asked Mrs. Ye for help.
If what I say is even a lie, my child and I will be struck by lightning."
As she said this, she subconsciously touched her belly with her left hand.
Zhang Juexia was also pregnant. She understood the importance of this oath and motioned Mengxiang to continue.
Meng Xiang then told her what she had overheard yesterday about Liu Sanle and Fang Lan discussing selling her, "Mrs. Ye, Liu Sanle is really not a good man. When he and his mother come back from town, they will sell me off.
I'm new here and haven't made any friends, let alone anyone to turn to for help.
I overheard Liu Sanle and his mother mentioning you that time, but their words were full of resentment, so I thought that maybe you could help me."
Zhang Juexia hasn't recovered from the news yet. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!
How could Liu Sanle and Fang Lan be so unscrupulous for the sake of money?
"Why are you so sure that I will save you?"
Meng Xiang told Zhang Juexia slowly, "I've been thinking about it all morning, but I haven't come up with a proper solution.
The money I had was almost gone after Liu Sanle spent it, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to run far before being caught.
When I almost wanted to die, I thought of what Liu Sanle and his mother said that day: they were so cruel to you.
I thought, since you are someone they hate, maybe I can give you a try and see if you can help me!"
Zhang Juexia stared at Mengxiang for a moment, "Do you know why Liu Sanle and his mother returned to the town?"
"Liu Sanle wanted to go back to the town to see how much wealth his family had.
Mrs. Ye, I don’t have much time left. If Liu Sanle comes back from town and finds that I’m missing, he will come out to look for me.
Mrs. Ye, although I was born in a brothel, I am pregnant and I want my child to grow up safely.
I don’t want my child to repeat the same mistakes. I want to give my child a good life. Is there anything wrong with that as a mother?
On my way here, I also asked some people, and they told me that you are a very good person with a kind heart.
That’s enough, I thought.
If you hear about my experience, maybe you will lend a hand and help me."
"How do you want me to help you?"
Meng Xiang cried with joy, "I knew Mrs. Ye wouldn't stand idly by. I just want a place that can accommodate me and my child, so that my child can be born safely.
Then, I raised my child with my skills.
I don’t ask for my children to be rich, I just want them to grow up safely.”
Zhang Juexia pondered Mengxiang's words. She saw determination in Mengxiang's eyes. She thought, there shouldn't be any problem!
Meng Xiang added, “I only hope that wherever I go, I will never see Liu Sanle again.
Mrs. Ye, I have to admit that I am not the right person for this.
But I don't want my child to recognize him as their father anymore.
Mrs. Ye, I beg you, if Liu Sanle sells me to that kind of place, I'm afraid my child and I will die.
I see that you are pregnant. If you help me, it will be considered as accumulating blessings for the baby in your belly.
Please. "
Meng Xiang was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Zhang Juexia, "I told you, I don't like people who keep kneeling.
Also, I can help you, but the people around me are all simple-minded.
You also have to promise me that you will never use those despicable tricks you learned in the brothel on them.
And it’s best not to let them know your identity.”
Meng Xiang looked at Zhang Juexia gratefully, "If Madam Ye could help me get rid of my identity as a prostitute, I would be more than happy to do so.
My children can then grow up happily like ordinary children."
Zhang Juexia didn't want to say any more nonsense to Mengxiang. "Did anyone see you when you entered my house?"
Meng Xiang thought about it carefully, "Although I dressed up, I was worried when I came here and didn't pay much attention."
"Since you were at Liu Sanle's house and heard them say bad things about me, you should know that the hatred between them and me is too deep.
So, now you leave my house crying immediately..."
Meng Xiang was puzzled. "Doesn't what Mrs. Ye said just now count?"
Zhang Juexia looked at Meng Xiang, thinking that her words just now were quite clever, but why was she confused now? "Find a way to get out of the city gate on your own, and then go to the right of the pavilion about a mile outside the city gate. I will send someone to meet you."
Zhang Juexia pointed at Yang Zhi and said, "Remember his appearance, he will take you to a safe place when the time comes.
After you have avoided this storm, you can decide whether to leave or stay!
If you don't want to stay in Shunhe County, I will find a way to send you somewhere else."
Meng Xiang stood up and knelt down to kowtow to Zhang Juexia solemnly, "Thank you, Mrs. Ye, for saving my life.
But there is one thing I don't understand. Since you have a grudge against the Liu family, and I'm pregnant with Liu Sanle's child, why did you save me?
Zhang Juexia glanced at Meng Xiang and said, "It's okay for me to tell you. You just said that I'm pregnant too. I want to accumulate blessings for my child. Isn't that right?
You should leave quickly. I really don’t want to have anything to do with the Liu family.
Don't forget to cry as much as possible when you go out.
If you want to curse, you can curse it out.
In short, it shows that I am heartless and you are helpless."
Meng Xiang stood up and looked back at Zhang Juexia. She walked out crying and angrily, saying some unpleasant words...
