Chapter 204 Blushing Face
"In one's lifetime, one may not encounter many major events. But if one does occur, one may not be able to get over it," said Yun Ting.
For example, what happened today, if the other party was a vicious bandit, it would be just like the worst-case scenario they were imagining at home.
Those who are capable can ask the government for help.
What about those who are incompetent?
You can only rely on yourself. By the time you find someone, it is very likely that the person is dead.
"You were able to convince the Shuntian Prefecture Governor today, but if it came to me, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor might find an excuse and avoid meeting me. You don't know how anxious I am today. I want to help so much, but I feel so powerless."
With just one word from his father, he couldn't even enter the Duke's Mansion.
Yes, his father is acting, and everyone is acting along with him.
But if he doesn't make progress, twenty years later, that may be the cruel reality he will have to face when he encounters big things.
"Dad, I will study hard." Yun Ting said, "I can't just die when something big happens. I still want to live a good life and make my son and grandson's life easier."
Duke Yun was very pleased.
OK, OK.
Although his son might not be able to persevere, Duke Yun was very happy that he had the determination to do so.
He even wanted to go back home overnight, beat drums and gongs, and tell everyone in the mansion that Yun Ting had changed!
At the same time, Lu Qiniang was also talking to Xiao Yan about what happened today.
"The eldest lady? How could she be so mean! She only allows herself to embarrass others, but not to let them struggle? Didn't we do her any harm? In the end, we just let the fifth young master adopt her, and she didn't get hurt at all."
"She felt that her face was hurt." Xiao Yan said.
"This person is so evil. Can we report her to the police?"
"Yes, we have those bandits as witnesses."
"Well, forget it, Xiao Yan," Lu Qiniang's voice was a little low, "Don't be angry that I spoke for the bandits. I know how much effort you put into saving me. In fact, when I saw you, I was very scared-"
She remembered that when she was a child, she did something wrong and the adults would slap her twice when they saw her.
Although she was arrested, she felt like she had made a big mistake because she had mobilized so many people and yet she was still fine.
"Abandoned mother—" Xiao Yan thought for a moment and held her hand.
This wasn't a moment of urgency, nor was it the excitement of a first meeting. Now it was just the two of them lying in bed.
Lu Qiniang's face turned red and she wanted to take her hand back.
But he didn't struggle out.
She wondered if she had used up all her strength from arm wrestling tonight.
Her hands seemed to be getting hot too.
"I was also very scared today." Xiao Yan said.
Lu Qiniang thought, she is not stupid anymore.
Because she immediately understood what Xiao Yan said.
He is worried about her.
"I, I survived a great disaster, and I will surely have good fortune in the future." Lu Qiniang stammered, "Xiao Yan, don't worry, I'm fine. I know those bandits shouldn't do such things, but they are so poor that they can't even afford a knife. You may not have seen that many of them are wearing straw sandals and are barefoot... They really can't afford to live."
"Qi Niang has a kinder heart than anyone else." Xiao Yan smiled.
He was holding her fingers.
The greed in his heart suddenly wrapped around him like a vine.
I want more, I want to hold her, touch her skin, I want to crush her into my bones and blood, never to be separated again.
"Xiao Yan, aren't you angry?" Lu Qiniang asked cautiously.
"Being kidnapped wasn't your fault. Your compassion is truly commendable. Why should I be angry? If I'm angry, it's with myself. I clearly considered the possibility of revenge from the Madam, but arrogantly ruled it out, leaving you to suffer. I can't imagine what would have happened today if it weren't these people, but real bandits..."
Even if he could rescue the people, Lu Qiniang didn't know how deep the psychological trauma would be left on her.
Not bad, not bad.
God couldn't bear to let such a good person like Qi Niang suffer, so when disaster was imminent, he opened a window for her.
Xiao Yan does not believe in ghosts and gods, and does not respect gods and Buddhas.
But today, on the way to rescue Lu Qiniang, he prayed devoutly, hoping that all the gods and Buddhas, and Lu Qiniang's ancestors, could bless her and turn the danger into safety.
"Well, I've already told you, don't think about it anymore. Since nothing is wrong, don't think about it." Seeing that he was not angry, Lu Qin's tone suddenly became much more relaxed.
It was nice that he didn't call her stupid or blame her for being nosy.
"Let me tell you, none of these people are living well. And who would become a bandit if they were living well?" Lu Qiniang said, "But those who come out to make a living have at least some ability. I was thinking of lending them the warehouse to live in, free of charge. I'll also help them find work, as much as I can. And you, you said a few days ago that you needed help..."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded, "You want me to use them?"
"Yes. But not all of them are." Lu Qiniang said, "There are thirty-six people, some are good and some are bad, and everyone has their own little calculations. It's impossible for everyone to be suitable. We can't treat them as one person just because they are together; and we can't think they are good people just because they have difficulties."
"You mean, I should go and look around more often in these two months and choose the right person?"
"Yeah, what do you think?"
"I feel good."
Lu Qiniang felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Yan's straightforward affirmation.
"Abandoned Mother, you are more thoughtful than I thought."
Lu Qiniang's face turned even redder when she was praised.
Xiao Yan is really good at praising people. She weighs 130 to 140 kilograms, and she is about to float.
"Xiao Yan, is this really okay?"
"Yes. Abandoned Mother, don't doubt yourself. You are doing very well."
Among a group of bandits, she can talk and laugh freely, and can "incite" the bandits to rebel, so that they even want to nominate her as the leader. With this ability and enthusiasm that makes people trust her, can there be another woman other than Lu Qiniang?
"That's good, that's good." Lu Qiniang said, "Xiao Yan, Jiang Xuan brought so many people here today, and he owes a lot of favors. How do you think we should repay this favor?"
She was already beginning to worry.
And there is Duke Yun.
The Fifth Young Master is easy to deal with, he is one of us.
Zhang Heyao...I'm too lazy to say anything, just do whatever you want.
wrong!
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan—Zhang Heyao is here. Will that princess hold a grudge against me?" Lu Qiniang panicked.
She didn't want to be poisoned or kidnapped again.
She is not always so lucky to meet a makeshift troupe!
