"My silly sister," An Biru shook her head silently. She held the girl's shoulder and helped her up, "What's wrong with liking someone? You're not afraid of the Broken Intestines Poison for him, but why don't you dare to say it out loud?! "
Brother Ah Lin is the saintess' lover, how can I snatch him away from the saintess? Elaine shook her head bitterly, and she suddenly felt strange in her heart. She glanced at An Biru with a blushing face and said in a low voice, "Saintess, I've clearly consumed the Intestine Severing Poison, so how could you still save me?"
The Miao Village was close to the mountains, so there were all kinds of poisons and their effects were strong. The so-called Broken Intestines Poison was a mixture of five different poisons. Those who didn't know where the poison came from would not be able to cure it, which was why there was the Broken Intestines Poison.
An Biru caressed the girl's hair and looked at her with a smile, "If it's really the Broken Intestines Poison, I naturally can't cure it. It's a pity that you don't even know that the medicine has been stolen and replaced because of your sorrow. Take a look, the five poison sources that you want are all here with me! "
She took out a medicinal bag from her bosom and carefully opened it, only to see that there were a few highly poisonous medicinal materials that had been dried. Elaine glanced at it, and it was precisely the Intestine Severing Poison that she concocted under her sorrow, yet she didn't know how it had fallen into the hands of An Biru.
Under the sorrow, all the bitterness and grievances in her heart surged. "Saintess …" Elaine sobbed and threw herself into her arms, crying bitterly.
Ever since she met Brother Ah Lin, she had been on the edge of happiness and pain. She liked him but didn't dare to say it. When she finally mustered the courage, Ah Lin had already become someone else's lover. Was there anything more painful than this in life?
"Silly girl," An Biru patted her shoulder and sighed softly, "Do you understand now? If you like someone, you have to say it out loud. You have to fight for it bravely. This is the courage of the Miao family's daughter! If you keep dodging, you will only give away your happiness! "
"Mn!" He listened to the personal guidance of the Sage Nun. Elaine was sad and happy at the same time. She nodded in her arms and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Ah Lin is the saintess' lover, why is she encouraging me to fight for it?
The young girl hurriedly raised her head and looked at her shyly. "Saintess, Elder Brother is your lover. How can I …"
An Biru's beautiful face blushed, and she chuckled as she patted her younger sister's moving face. "What a silly little girl. I feel pity for you. No wonder Little Brother likes you so much!"
Elaine slowly shook her head, and her expression darkened. "Brother doesn't like me!"
"Like it or not? You can't say it with your mouth, you have to feel it with your heart! "The Saintess shook her head gently." Don't you feel how he treats you?! "
The young girl lowered her head and thought for a moment. Ever since they entered the mountain, she had been traveling with Brother Alin. But the care and pity that were revealed in the silence was clearly visible. Elaine slowly lowered her head and said weakly with a red face, "I, I don't know!"
An Biru didn't point it out and just giggled as she pulled her hand. "Younger Sister, remember this. When you like someone, you can't just be gentle. Sometimes, you have to be a little more ruthless to him and let him know of your existence. This way, he will be afraid of you, but he will miss you even more! Even if he doesn't remember how good you are now, he will come to his senses in the future. At that time, he will only be more concerned about you! Just like me and Little Brother — — "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle. Her brows were filled with gentleness, and her voice silently became softer.
Elaine blinked her eyes. She nodded her head lightly. "I understand! No wonder Brother is so afraid of the Saintess. So it's because the Saintess loves him to the extreme! "
"Pfft! Who loves him! "Elaine was also a smart person. Sister An had invited trouble to herself and was teased by her. When she teased her, her face immediately turned red, and she rebuked her shyly. That incomparably beautiful appearance caused even Little Sister, who was a woman, to be stunned. "Saintess, you are really beautiful!"
An Biru chuckled and held her hand tightly. "Younger Sister's mouth is really sweet! Don't worry, there will be a day when you will be as beautiful as me! "
After chatting with the Saintess for a while and seeing her amiable smile, Elaine was no longer afraid. She was just like the big sister next door.
"Elaine, your Brother Ah Lin clearly likes you very much, but he doesn't dare to say it. Do you know why?" An Biru's expression suddenly turned serious as she stared at Elaine and asked.
This sentence instantly attracted the attention of the young girl. Little Sister hurriedly pulled on the Saintess' sleeves. "Why? Saintess, please teach me! "
An Biru sighed. "Girls of the Miao Family like us are all ordinary in the eyes of the world. We are like the clouds in the sky. Today, we look beautiful, but tomorrow, we will be gone. We are like a gust of wind. Although we are fresh, we come quickly and leave even faster. We are destined to be a passerby in a hurry. How can we let others remember us? "
Elaine's expression darkened. The Saintess was right. A person like Brother Ah Lin would definitely have extraordinary women by his side. She was just a helpless Little Sister of the Miao Family. What could she be considered as?
The young girl's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed onto An Biru's hand and said earnestly, "Saintess, I like Brother Ah Lin. I am willing to die for him! What should I do? Saintess, please teach Elaine! "
"We, the girls of the Miao Family, can only be brave, strong, independent, and capable. Only by living without relying on a man can we make him look at us seriously and never forget us!"
The Saintess smiled gently. Her face flushed red as she said gently, "That was how your Brother Ah Lin and I started! At that time, he was even more despicable and shameless than he is now. The first time he saw me, he couldn't take his eyes off me. He would grope me and try to take advantage of me! Only after I taught him a few lessons did he become more obedient! Think about it, if I wasn't capable, wouldn't I have been … "
The Saintess' face turned red and she couldn't continue.
Elaine found it strange. Was Brother Ah Lin really such a bad person in the past? Why couldn't she tell now? The Saintess said that she wanted to teach him a lesson. But in the end, didn't Brother Ah Lin take advantage of her?!
An Biru's gaze was gentle but her voice was filled with indescribable determination. As a girl of the Miao Family, she had to be self-respecting and self-reliant. This was what she had learned from wandering outside for many years.
The girl shook her head and sighed, "I'm just a little girl of the Miao Family. I'm not as capable as you. Once Brother Ah Lin leaves the Miao Village, he will forget about me very quickly!"
"That's why. You have to be a capable person and let him remember you. "The Saintess giggled and whispered something into Elaine's ear.
"What?!" Elaine's face turned red instantly. She said hurriedly, "How, how can I do that?! How can I do that?! "
"Why not?!" The Saintess's expression was solemn as she held onto Elaine's hand tightly, "Sister, you have to have confidence in yourself! You're smart, kind, loyal, handsome, and you love the Miao Village. All the Mi Duo Mi Chai look up to you. Even Han Nong and the other uncles think highly of you! With such support, what are you afraid of? Furthermore, no one in this world is capable of everything. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn. I was your age, and I also learned everything! You will definitely bring prosperity to the Miao Family. I believe in you! "
Elaine shook her head in shock, "Saintess, I'm afraid I can't …"
Seeing her pale face, the Saintess hurriedly pressed on her shoulder, "How would you know if you haven't tried? Think about it. Xuzhou is the place that Brother Ah Lin cares about the most. If you take on this responsibility, he will miss you for the rest of his life! Will he forget you? "
Brother will miss me forever? Elaine's heart was pounding and her hands were trembling. Suddenly, tears gushed out of her eyes, "But, what should I do when I miss Brother?!"
"Silly girl!" The Saintess sighed. She smiled and whispered a few more words into her ear.
Elaine's ears turned red, "Saintess, are, are you serious?!"
"Of course." Sister An held her shoulder and giggled. Her expression was extremely charming, "As long as you manage the Miao Village well, in less than a year or two, I guarantee that you will get what you want! Hehe, that little rascal. How can he escape from me? When the time comes, Sister Master will give him a beautiful red apple. Let's see if he will eat it or not! "
Elaine's face turned red. Her chest trembled and she hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and her eyes became determined, "Saintess, I am willing!"
An Biru nodded silently and sighed. She patted her hand and said, "Sister, it has been hard on you!"
The young girl jumped into her arms and tears flowed down her face, "I just hope that Brother can come back and see me. I will be satisfied for the rest of my life!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say!" The Saintess smiled alluringly, "I'm afraid that when your wish is fulfilled, you will think that I am an eyesore in the bridal room!"
"Sister — —" Elaine said softly, her face blushing. She jumped into her arms and laughed shyly.
"Achoo, achoo — —" When they woke up early in the morning, they heard Brother Lin sneezing non-stop. Old Gao pulled Si De beside him and whispered, "Brother Lin didn't do anything bad these two days, right?"
"No," Si De was stunned. He immediately thought of something and said mysteriously in a low voice, "Of course, except for Miss Elaine's matter!"
No wonder he caught a cold, it was retribution! Gao Qiu laughed secretly. Suddenly, Brother Lin shouted from afar, "Brother Gao, Brother Gao — —"
Gao Qiu rushed over and saw that Lin Wanrong's eyes were red and his face was haggard. It was obvious that he did not sleep well the whole night.
Who asked you to tease my little sister! Old Gao laughed secretly but his face was serious, "Brother, what's the matter?!"
"Brother Gao," Lin Wanrong patted his shoulder and whispered, "Please go to Five Lotus Peak again and pay a visit to Elder Han Nong. It's best if you can find my master and sister. Ask Elaine if she is doing well."
He wanted to say something but stopped and shook his head. Gao Qiu nodded and was about to leave when he heard two clear shouts from the door, "General Zhang Qun (Cheng Zili) greets Marshal Lin!"
"Brothers, please come in!" Lin Wanrong's spirit was shaken. He personally lifted the curtain and welcomed the two generals from Lu Zhou in.
Cheng Zili saw his haggard appearance and exclaimed, "Marshal Lin, did you not rest well last night?!"
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Lin Wanrong smiled awkwardly, "My neck was a little stiff last night. Brothers, how is the search of Nie Yuanqing's residence going? "
Zhang Qun took out a list from his bosom and respectfully handed it to him, "Reporting to Marshal Lin, after a night of searching, we found a total of ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver and banknotes, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, paintings, pearls and jades."
Lin Wanrong took the list and glanced at it a few times. Every single item on the list was clearly written down, and every single one of them was clearly recorded. In total, Nie Yuanqing had embezzled more than three hundred thousand taels during his time in Xuzhou.
Three hundred thousand taels!!! Lin Wanrong angrily slammed the table. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
The last time Lomin lost three hundred thousand taels of military pay in Shandong, she almost lost her head. But the small Xuzhou government had embezzled more than that. The war with the Turks cost less than ten thousand taels of silver a day. Three hundred thousand taels of silver was the entire army's pay for a month.
Xuzhou was economically backward and poor. Nie Yuanqing was like a vampire, digging three feet into the ground. How could the common people have a good life?
"In addition, Nie Yuanqing bullied the common people, seized their land, and abducted their women. We have recorded more than thirty cases!"
Slap! Lin Wanrong slammed his palm on the table, his face as black as charcoal, "Has this Nie Yuanqing finished explaining everything?"
"It's basically been sorted out. There are still a few places where he hid the silver, waiting for him to identify them!" Cheng Zili hurriedly bowed and reported.
Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and paced a few steps, "This bastard, if we don't skin him alive, we won't be able to appease the people's anger! Big Brother Zhang, Big Brother Cheng, publish the accounts to the people of Xuzhou. Don't miss out on a single one. The notice must be posted in every county and every village, let everyone know! No one is allowed to tear the notice in half a year! Also, make it clear to the villagers that I will return the three hundred thousand taels of silver that Nie Yuanqing embezzled to Xuzhou and all the villagers! This is Brother Lin's promise! "
