Chapter 93 The girl is dead.
Hou Yuanji was stunned for a long while, then said weakly, "But I haven't heard the news."
I haven't heard any news, that's all.
Lu Wanyin curled her lips and deliberately put on a sympathetic expression: "It's okay, Lord Hou. Didn't our general's mansion get robbed too? We're all in this together, so just let it go."
Hou Yuanji subconsciously wanted to refute, your Xie family will be confiscated and exiled, how can it be the same as his Hou family that is at its peak?
But on second thought, the thief's methods were cleaner than confiscating a house.
Hou Yuanji covered his face with his hands to prevent Lu Wanyin from seeing his sadness.
Xuan Qi was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows: "Laugh if you want to, no need to hold it in."
"Puff! Hahahahahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Qi couldn't help laughing, and the other guards followed suit.
Liuying had her head down, but she smiled when she heard that.
The escorts also wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare. They could only think about the sad things that happened over the years.
"Why are you pinching me?"
"Oh, sorry, I wanted to pinch myself, but I couldn't help it."
Lu Wanyin: ...
Hou Yuanji put down his hands and glared at Xuan Qi helplessly: "What are you laughing at! If you laugh again, no one will rest. Get on the road immediately!"
Xuan Qi opened his mouth to retort, but Lu Wanyin stopped him: "Forget it, Lord Hou is already heartbroken, just give in to him."
Hou Yuanji: ...
Good, good, good, the world has finally come together where he is the only one heartbroken.
Xuan Qi retracted his gaze and asked Lu Wanyin: "Madam, what should we eat tonight? Although hot pot is delicious, it will become greasy if you eat too much. Is there anything else?"
The Xie family became even more angry after hearing this.
They hadn't even taken a bite, and Xuan Qi, a lowly guard, actually said he was tired of it.
This is simply outrageous!
Hou Yuanji no longer cared about being sad and immediately pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
His house had been robbed, and he couldn't afford to go hungry.
Lu Wanyin thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I've been eating a bit greasy food lately. Let's make some vegetable porridge tonight."
When he heard it was vegetable porridge, Hou Yuanji lost interest: "Who wants to drink vegetable porridge?"
Lu Wanyin glared at him and said, "When Lord Hou returns to the capital, the Hou family will be left with nothing but poverty. I'm afraid they won't even be able to afford vegetable porridge."
Hou Yuanji: “…”
Xuan Qi responded cheerfully, "Okay!"
Since the traffic policeman died that night, Xie Yuyan has become even more taciturn.
She used to be on good terms with the escort and could occasionally get some food.
Now, I've been hungry for a few days.
But she didn't want to do that kind of thing again. She couldn't sell herself out just for a little convenience.
Not only Lu Wanyin, she would also look down on herself.
"Husband, Ya'er has a fever."
Xu Yinghe suddenly shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Xie Ziqian hurried over and saw that the little girl in Xu Yinghe's arms had hot cheeks and pale, cracked lips.
Xie Ziqian was anxious: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xu Yinghe's voice was filled with tears: "I was fine this morning, but I suddenly had a fever just now. Husband, what should I do?"
Yaer was already feverish and unconscious, whimpering, "Mom, I'm so cold."
Xu Yinghe hugged Yaer tightly, but her clothes were thin and it didn't help much.
Xie Ziqian immediately took off his coat and handed it to Xu Yinghe: "Put it on Yaer."
Xu Yinghe was about to speak when Zhou grabbed it and said, "How can that be possible? It's so cold out here. What if you fall down?"
She glared at Xu Yinghe fiercely: "It's just a girl. If she dies, she dies. When you get to the wilderness, you can have another one."
Xie Ziqian looked at Zhou in amazement.
Although Zhou was also dissatisfied with Yaer being a girl before, she had never said such excessive words.
A living life, what does it mean to die?
Xu Yinghe was so angry that her eyes filled with tears: "Mom, Ya'er is also your granddaughter!"
Zhou threw the clothes to Xie Ziqian and said, "What's wrong with my granddaughter? She'll have to get married when she grows up, and it'll be a burden if she follows me around. It's better to find a family to sell her as a child bride as soon as possible, and even get some food in exchange."
Xie Ziqian was so angry that he was shaking all over, as if he was meeting Zhou for the first time.
Zhou said viciously, "Why are you glaring at me? This is the fate of women. Mother used to be so kind to the Zhou family, but in the end, she was still kicked out by the Zhou family without any regard for her!"
We are all women, why is she the only one to be abandoned by her own mother and husband?
She hated Lu Wanyin and all the women in the world who had a better life than her.
Xie Ziqian did not follow Zhou to the Zhou family, so naturally he did not see what Zhou encountered.
But no matter what happened to Zhou, it was no reason for her to be harsh towards Ya'er!
Xie Ziqian suppressed his anger and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Just because you were abandoned by your family, will Yaer be abandoned too?"
These words seemed to have suddenly touched Zhou's most vulnerable nerve. Her eyes were red and she said, "Of course! Women are born to be abandoned! Don't you see what time it is now?"
"We used to have black flour steamed buns to eat, but now even black flour steamed buns can't be supplied on time! How are you going to feed this burden?"
"Shut up!"
Xie Ziqian couldn't stand it any longer and retorted directly: "No matter what, I won't abandon Ya'er. At worst, I won't eat it myself."
Zhou was stunned by the yelling. Usually, Xie Ziqian listened to her the most.
Now, for the sake of a little girl who was going to be given away when she grew up, he dared to talk back to her.
Good, very good!
Zhou was speechless for a long time, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Xie Ziqian was startled.
Zhou has always been very strong in fighting. He was beaten by Xie Deyao several times without any problem. But today, he was so angry that he fainted because of his own words.
Xie Ziheng was also very surprised. After he realized what was happening, he immediately pointed at Xie Ziqian and said, "Second brother, you actually made mother faint from anger. Be careful not to get struck by lightning!"
Xie Ziqian was instantly at a loss, with his fainted mother on one side and his daughter with a high fever on the other.
After much deliberation, he could only ask for help from the nearest escort: "Sir, please be flexible and find a doctor!"
The escort glared at him impatiently and said, "There's nothing nearby. Let's wait until we get to the county town ahead."
Xie Ziqian asked: "Sir, how far is the county town?"
The escort said, "Two days."
Xie Ziqian was completely paralyzed. Zhou Shi could wait, but Ya'er was young and a high fever for two days would make her stupid!
Xu Yinghe cried and begged, "Husband, why don't you go and ask your sister-in-law for help? She is the only one who can help now."
Xie Ziqian was in a dilemma.
He still owes Lu Wanyin money, and his relationship with them has not been repaired yet. Can Lu Wanyin help him?
Lu Wanyin was chewing on beef jerky and watching the farce here.
She also didn't expect that Zhou had become so twisted.
Xie Ziqian met Lu Wanyin's gaze and swallowed hard.
After thinking about it, he walked towards Lu Wanyin with heavy steps.
