Chapter 171 Assassinated
"No wonder everyone wants to be an official. Being an official is really rich." Lu Qiniang sighed.
But she thought that even if she could become an official, she would not dare to accept other people's things.
Daya said, "Mother, I think being an official is different from being an official."
"You mean, when your father was an official, he didn't accept gifts?"
"No." Daya smiled. "My father should have his own extra income. As for Lord Sun, since he is in charge of the banknotes, if he only accepts this little, he can be considered honest. Officials involved in salt, grain, and canals should all have benefits."
"Then what income does your father have?" Lu Qin's mother still couldn't imagine how Xiao Yan looked when accepting gifts from others.
"They went to fight the Hu people, and they got spoils of war."
"Isn't that right? I heard the barbarians were stealing things from our border. If we take them back, we're doing justice for the people."
"Yes." Daya smiled.
From the perspective of people from the Central Plains, this is indeed the case.
"Then Daya, where is the Fifth Young Master?"
"Poor Hanlin, poor Hanlin, the Fifth Young Master and his men probably have very little other than their salaries."
"Well, it's better this way. Being a little poorer gives me peace of mind. Why do I always feel so uncomfortable accepting other people's things? Don't move these things, just leave them there for now."
"Wait until it goes bad before eating it?" Erya said sharply.
"How did it go bad?" Lu Qiniang glared at her. "Aren't these all dried goods? Save them for the New Year! If you keep talking nonsense, return the mirror to me."
Erya immediately smiled and said, "Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you."
She took out a mirror and looked at the silk flowers on her hair.
Lu Qiniang pulled Daya and asked, "Did I give you the silk flower?"
"I didn't want it, I gave it to Sanya. Mom, I don't like those, this is good enough."
Lu Qiniang looked at her with only a peach wood hairpin in her hair and thought to herself, what's so good about it?
"Wait, Mom will buy you another one."
"Mother, no need." Daya said quickly, "I left the pearl flowers my father bought for me at home and didn't wear them."
"That won't work either. There's nothing I can do about the things I can't think of. You're the eldest and you'll suffer the most. But I don't want you to suffer the things I can think of."
She was afraid that she would get used to it and habitually ignore Daya.
She was even more afraid that Daya would get used to such humility and sacrifice, and would continue to endure and suffer in the future.
Lu Qiniang took the money to the shop and specially picked out a trumpet creeper silk flower.
Daya likes this.
Lu Qiniang likes it too.
But she really didn't like these, so she didn't buy them for herself.
It’s just a hundred dollars, why not rob it!
Lu Qiniang came out of the shop with silk flowers in her hand, and without stopping, she walked hurriedly towards the stall.
"Sister, please give me a hand." Suddenly someone called out from behind.
Lu Qiniang subconsciously turned her head, and her body also tilted slightly to look back.
Then she saw a man in front of her wearing a big hat and whose face could not be seen clearly. He suddenly took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it directly into her chest.
Lu Qiniang was startled and grabbed the man's wrist, shouting, "What are you doing!"
The man probably didn't expect her grip to be so strong, and he couldn't move at all after she pinched his wrist.
And Lu Qiniang had already reached out to lift his hat.
"Abandoned mother, be careful!"
When Lu Qiniang heard someone calling her name, she immediately became alert and realized that someone was going to attack her from behind, so she immediately let go and dodged nimbly.
The dagger cut along her shoulder and cut off a strand of her hair.
Turns out there was another person.
Lu Qiniang kicked the man down.
She doesn't have much martial arts skills, she just relies on her flexibility and brute force.
As a result, he accidentally used too much force and kicked the person too far, causing the person to get up and run away.
The other one had already run away.
Lu Qiniang tried to chase after her with all her strength as if she were chasing a pig, but was stopped by someone.
"Abandoned mother, stop chasing me."
"Shi Ping, it's you." Lu Qiniang looked at the acquaintance and said.
"Go report to the police immediately," said the short man she called Spin. "They're going to kill you. Who have you offended?"
"I don't know!" Lu Qiniang also felt puzzled.
She has always been kind to others, and even a little timid, she would never argue with others even if she suffered a little loss.
After all, these days, there are too many people who can’t eat and can’t survive, and the anger is too strong.
It's not worth it to hurt someone just because of a few quarrels.
She's living a good life!
"What's going on? What's going on?"
It turned out that someone from the nearby Inspection Department was patrolling nearby and came over when they heard the noise.
Coincidentally, one of them knew Lu Qiniang.
The main reason was that Lu Qiniang went to see Sun Shun several times.
Shouldn’t we remember our boss’s relatives and friends clearly?
So he advised Lu Qiniang to go to Sun Shun for help.
Lu Qiniang thought about it, this is a big deal, what if those people still want to kill her?
She didn't even know who her enemy was.
At times like this, when lives are at stake, there's no room for pretense.
So Lu Qiniang followed him back and met Sun Shun again.
After hearing what she said, Sun Shun also asked her if she had offended anyone.
Lu Qiniang shook her head.
Sun Shun said seriously, "It wouldn't be for no reason. Two people want to kill you in the street. Think, keep thinking!"
Lu Qiniang thought and thought, and finally came up with someone for her.
"That poisonous woman! She's the princess Zhang Heyao married." Lu Qiniang gritted her teeth and said, "She's the woman who poisoned me, Pig..."
"I know who you are talking about." Sun Shun interrupted her, feeling a little headache.
"It's her, it must be her. Last time she did the same thing, without saying anything, and suddenly poisoned my pigs. This time it's me."
Evil woman!
Now he's trying to kill her, was it because he thought it was too conspicuous before?
Now that the incident is over, do you want to settle the score with her later?
Pooh!
Whoever is looking for the answer should settle the score!
The princess is amazing!
Isn’t it just having a good father?
Lu Qiniang thought sadly and angrily, if only the dream could come true, if Xiao Yan was her father, what would she be afraid of?
When the King of Zhenbei met Xiao Yan back then, he had to be polite.
Once Xiao Yan is reinstated, he can seek justice for himself.
Alas, it’s a pity that she won’t be reborn.
If she had died earlier and Xiao Yan had married later, there might still be a chance.
Bah, bah, bah, what is she saying? She has to live well, she has three daughters!
"Abandoned Mother, calm down." Sun Shun said, "I don't think it's the princess."
"Why not?"
"Because I think that if the princess were to attack you, she would probably do it quietly like last time, and not kill people in a busy city." Sun Shun said, "Also, Lord Zhang is in a high position and has great power now, so the princess has to consider his feelings."
"What does considering his feelings have to do with killing me?"
"Master Zhang, I don't want anything to happen to you."
Lu Qiniang spat, "He treats me like the leftovers in his bowl. If he doesn't eat me anymore, he won't share it with anyone else. He's always been like this, always eating alone."
Sun Shun couldn't respond to this.
"Abandoned Mother, you stay here and don't go anywhere."
