Face to the Conscience

As soon as Nanzhi was dressed neatly, she heard the movement of someone talking in the yard.

Because there were not many maids in the mansion, and Nanzhi and Shen Wenchen didn't like too many people to take care of them, only two servants were left to guard the main courtyard. At this moment, he heard something outside the courtyard, so Mapo stopped Nanzhi and quickly went to the entrance of the courtyard.

"What's wrong?"

Mapo has a high status in the mansion. The gatekeeper was stopping Chengyue from entering the door. When he heard Mapo's voice coming, the two of them immediately had a smile on their faces.

"Mapo, why did you come out?"

"What do you think?"

Mapo only glanced at the two servants, raised his chin, and signaled them to let Orange Moon go.

The little girl was slapped yesterday. There were still some marks on her face. She was stopped by her servants for a while. Now she looks a little embarrassed.

"Ma, Mapo, the two people who delivered the food are here. Aunt Zhao is keeping someone at this moment. She asked me to tell my wife."

Orange Moon lowered her head and did not dare to meet Mapo, so she stuttered and explained her purpose.

"Okay, I understand. You wait here, I'll go and invite the lady out."

Mapo glanced at her and then went back to the yard.

"Madam, it's a little girl in the kitchen. She said that the delivery guy was coming and was being tripped by Zhao at this moment."

Nanzhi nodded and closed the cloak on her shoulders: "Then let's go."

The sky was gloomy and a cool breeze would blow from time to time. Lanterns were hung everywhere in the city lord's mansion, which were blown slightly to shake.

The group walked slowly towards the kitchen. The servants and Mapo only protected Nanzhi, for fear that someone would hit her in a while.

"Damn it, let us go!"

As soon as the group arrived outside the kitchen, they heard a man's scream and scolding from inside.

Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, only to find that the voice was a little familiar.

As soon as he entered the yard, several servants stepped forward to surround the people in the yard. Mapo also stood in front of Nanzhi and protected her behind her.

"Who is in the city lord's mansion?"

When Mapo was young, he stayed in the royal palace in Kyoto for fifteen years before returning to Yancheng.

After returning to Yancheng, I only took care of the pregnant mistress in various households, and my aura was naturally different.

Just this sentence blocked the man's mouth.

Zhao thought that this broken mouth had caused trouble for her, and she was so worried last night that she couldn't sleep all night. Today, just as the chicken cried, she got up with two huge dark circles.

He just stared at the small door at the backyard door and was looking forward to delivering vegetables to come over quickly.

If she stopped her, she might be able to atone for her sins. If the person didn't come, her rice would be really ruined.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and asked her to wait for the couple.

Zhao's hair was in a mess, and now he was blushing and gasping for breath.

The man looked at Xu, but he didn't expect that he still had the strength to do anything.

When Zhao looked at the servants who surrounded them, he immediately straightened his waist. It was a joke that she was from the city lord's mansion!

"You, what are you doing?" Qian Er's face looked ugly. At this moment, he only pulled Hexiang to question the group of servants.

He Xiang's face was also nice and couldn't see much.

Since leaving Nanzhi, she followed Qian Er to move into the dilapidated house, but her husband was beaten to death. His father-in-law was also a gambling person. In less than ten days, the little money in her hand was spent clean.

Although Qian Er has been cured now, because the money is not enough, he only found a wild man to see it, and it was a mess.

Although it can be used, it is probably very rare to have a baby in this life.

She originally thought that after giving Qian Er a treatment, he would go to the county government to get rid of his household registration. However, when she asked him, he only said that he had lost his contract.

Although she is free now, if someone picks up the contract for selling her body one day, she will become someone else's slave again.

But where can she go besides following Qian Er?

In order to have some food, Qian Er was injured just a little, so she took over the work of washing clothes for others.

Washing two clothes can earn a penny, even if she wears her hands out of the way, she can earn at most twenty cents.

In this way, her father-in-law had to ask Shiwen to go to the gambling house.

The remaining ten cents will become the meal money for the two of them.

After such a day, they could have a month. In the end, Qian Er couldn't stand eating potatoes and drinking porridge all day. He ran out to steal eggs from other families, but was discovered by others. He was in a hurry and stepped on the empty place and injured his leg.

Qian Er was completely unable to do without Hexiang, so he was a little better for her.

At first, he coaxed Hexiang to tell the recipe for the jam so that he could take it to sell the money.

But Hexiang was worried about the contract signed by him and refused to agree to it.

If he couldn't get the prescription, he couldn't make money. Qian Er's attitude towards her was naturally worse, but since he injured his leg and turned into a slope, he seemed to understand.

His father is an unreliable person. If this wife runs away again, he will be afraid of dying in the house for the rest of his life.

Hexiang had no choice but to grit her teeth and take the fifty copper plates she had saved up so she went outside the city to collect some vegetables and sell them back.

After a while, I can have enough food in half a month.

Qian Er found that he could have a meal of meat every few days, so he became more honest. Even if his father came back and asked for money, he would help Hexiang drive out people.

Later, when he met the boy from the Mao family, something happened at home. Hexiang thought about taking a gamble and then took over the job of delivering vegetables to the city lord's mansion.

Who knew how many trips this was given, Qian Erhui was talking nonsense everywhere and making trouble now.

"Qian Er, you are so brave."

Looking at He Xiang, who now has a yellow complexion and rough skin, Nanzhi sneered in her heart.

This is the free life Hexiang tries to live every opportunity.

Qian Er never thought that the words he had made would be like this a few days ago.

He knew that Nanzhi was the wife of the city lord, and the complaints he made were just that after coming to the city lord's mansion, he saw that the servants here were better than their food and clothing. Then he became a little jealous and told Zhao that gossip.

But he didn't expect that it would be just that gossip that would actually be transmitted from the kitchen to Nanzhi.

"I can't understand what you are saying." Qian Er's face was not bloody, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Last time he went to throw a pot of blood, he was thrown into prison and suffered a lot of crime.

this time……

When Qian Er thought of the feeling of being hit on his butt by a stick, he felt that his legs were a little out of control.

He was scared.

"Madam, please give me a lot of it, so I'll spare our time."

Hexiang was angry, but she still said something begging for mercy.

She knew everything Qian Er did very well, and she wanted to secretly ruin some Nanzhi's reputation if she didn't stop her.

Why is she still the noble lady of the city lord now? She has to get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog every day in order to fill her stomach.

Even those who once said that they would always be good sisters would never save them...
