The harder it was to live, the more frequent the cases of young girls and children were. Ten years ago was the year of the disaster in the Han Jiang Prefecture. Two hundred and eighty thousand people died in one prefecture. Although the capital wasn't filled with starving people and corpses, the lives of many lower class people were still extremely difficult. Think about it, when the adults couldn't survive, how could they spare the energy to protect their own children?
"Serves her right!"
Ning Shu and Zi Gui followed Xiang Jin all the way to secretly leave the Qi Estate. They arrived at the home of her childhood sweetheart, the imperial bodyguard. Jumping up a tree, they hid behind the thick branches and quietly watched as Xiang Jin fed the imperial bodyguard medicine while cursing to her heart's content.
"If you ask me, it's because Fourth Young Miss has done too many bad things. Now that she's met her retribution, she's become neither human nor ghost. She's so crazy, it really makes people happy."
The imperial bodyguard worriedly said, "You've been sneaking out these past few days. Aren't you too conspicuous? It's better if you quickly return to the estate. Otherwise, if someone finds out and reports it to Master and Madam, you'll be punished again. " Being bedridden for a long time caused his entire body to become thin and yellow. However, one could still see from his tall frame and facial features that he was once a dignified youth.
Unfortunately, he was buried by Qi Juanyu's hands.
Xiang Jin didn't care at all, "What are you afraid of? Right now, the estate is in chaos. Everyone is surrounding Fourth Young Miss, afraid that she'll go crazy from kowtowing or commit suicide by hitting the wall. Who has the time to care about where I go? If you ask me, since that wolf demon was able to secretly take revenge on her once, he can take revenge on her a second time. Even if everyone in the estate is watching, it's useless. She won't be able to escape. "
"Although you say that, it's still better to be careful. First, if someone suspects that the matter is related to you, causing trouble for no reason, then it'll be hard to explain. Second …" The imperial bodyguard turned his head and pretended to joke, "Second, you've reached the age where you should marry. If you keep circling around a good-for-nothing like me, I'm afraid people will gossip. If this affects your good marriage, I, as your older brother, will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
The coarse porcelain spoon in her hand fell back into the soup bowl with a clatter. Mei Jin stood up and bit her lip. "What are you talking about? I've already said that I won't marry anyone other than you. What's more, the first person Fourth Miss wanted to punish that night was me. You were the one who took the punishment for me. You were injured because of me. Your body was crippled because of me. Do you want me to be that heartless and despicable woman? "
Tears welled up in the guard's eyes as he hammered the bed. His eyes were red as he said, "There are many good men in this world. Why do you have to hang on to a piece of trash like me? You know that I won't be able to recover for the rest of my life and will only be a burden to you. How can I give you happiness … "
Two lines of tears slowly crept down Pagoda Jin's face. Her voice trembled as she said, "I don't care about fate. You are my only fate in this life. Even if you're crippled, as long as you're still breathing, I'll be your bride for the rest of my life. If you die today, then I will be your widow, and I will guard your grave for the rest of my life. So don't even think about pushing me away. "
"Why do you have to do this …"
Inside the house, the two unfortunate lovers hugged each other and cried bitterly. Ning Shu, who was hiding in the tree outside the house, felt her heart ache as she sighed. She quietly put the medicine that Hui Mo had made before on the windowsill. Ning Shu and Zi Gui quietly left.
From the analysis of what she had heard just now, Pagoda Jin still thought that Qi Juanyu's ending today was because of the wolf demon's revenge. It seemed that she wasn't the one who did it. And the year when Cai Yue and Huiyu's children were abducted didn't match the time when Feng San did evil. The case once again fell into a bottleneck.
