Chapter 126: Such a Coincidence (2nd Update)
Peach was angry and glared at the fat woman, "He's just a child, and besides, the food is thrown away by the guests, so why do you have to beat him to death?" Is there any royal law left? β
"Hmph, that's a light thing to say." The fat woman immediately hugged two thick arms, stared at Taohong and said hatefully, "Look at your dress, you know that you are not ordinary girls, you are well fed and clothed, of course you don't know the suffering of us poor people, and the rest of the buns are also made by me with silver to buy noodles and vegetables, and they are not stolen and robbed, why give him this little beggar?" β
"You ......" stomped her foot angrily.
This fat woman is really hateful, obviously the buns were bought by the guests for money, and the leftovers are naturally not her family's, and the little beggar picks it up and eats it, but this fat woman is not forgiving.
It's disgusting.
Mu Yan didn't bother to listen to this woman's noise, she beckoned to Taohong.
Pink hurriedly walked over.
She whispered in Taohong's ear, "You ask her, how many buns does this child eat, how much silver does it cost, just give her two copper coins, you don't have to waste your tongue with her." β
Peach said "um", and then asked the fat woman coldly, "How many buns did this kid eat of you?" β
The fat woman and her man looked at each other, their eyes rolling.
She asked Peach, "You gave him his money?" β
Peach glared at her again, "Yes, let's give, you say, he ate a few buns from you." β
The fat woman immediately became excited, and the three girls in front of her knew that they must have silver on them as soon as they saw what they were wearing, and she couldn't help but move the lion's mind to open her mouth, and stretched out five fingers as soon as she stretched out her hand.
"You can just give this number, and after giving the silver, we will let this little rabbit cub go......"
The fat woman looked at Pink.
Peach frowned, "Five copper plates? β
Five copper plates is not too much.
Peach was about to take out the silver, but who knew that the fat woman's words almost made Peach vomit blood.
"Five pieces of silver? Hey, girl, do you really think you're calling Hanako yourself? The fat woman's face was very ugly, and she said with a twitch of her eyelids, "This little rabbit cub has not been in my store for a day or two, since you want to give him a head, well, give us five taels of silver, even if this matter is over, the two of us will not be held accountable." β
When the people watching the excitement heard that they actually asked for five taels of silver, they all began to grin.
These two really dare to ask for it.
Both RosΓ© and Greenwood were dumbfounded.
Mu Yan sneered in his heart, these two people are really ridiculous, the lion opened his mouth and asked for five taels of silver at once, they can really ask for it.
When the child heard that he wanted five taels of silver, he was anxious, and struggled to get up from Mu Yan's arms, shouting in his mouth, "Sister, you go, I won't bother you......"
But Fang was beaten too hard, and the child hadn't eaten for a few days, so his body was already weak, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.
Mu Yan hurriedly appeased the child's feelings, "Don't move, don't move first, it's okay......"
The fat woman listened to Mu Yan and said, "It's okay", and thought that Mu Yan was going to give her five taels of silver, and her heart suddenly blossomed.
After Mu Yan appeased the child's affection, he turned his face quietly, stared coldly at the fat woman for a moment, and then instructed Taohong, "Throw her five copper plates, if she refuses to give up, report directly to the official to deal with it, there is no royal law......"
"Yes" Taohong gritted her teeth and glared at the fat woman, then took out five copper plates from the money bag and threw them on the fat woman's body, "My girl rewarded you, take it!" β
The fat woman thought it was five taels of silver, but she didn't expect to just throw her five copper plates, and she was immediately furious, and she was about to have a seizure for a while.
"It's really not peaceful, and as soon as I got out of the house, I encountered a disturbance among the people." Suddenly, a calm and powerful voice came from the crowd.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, but it was a man in silver who walked slowly through the crowd, his clothes were embroidered with flowing clouds and dark lines, wearing black boots, his black hair was high and restrained, and his face was gloomy, giving people a very sharp momentum.
Someone recognized who the person was, and immediately lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully, "It's the eldest prince of the Pingyang Hou Mansion......"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
When Mu Yan looked up, he happened to meet Xue Zhiyuan's eyes, and his eyes were very bright, like morning stars.
And Xue Zhiyuan also felt that Mu Yan's eyes were very thorough, like washed obsidian.
He just saw a delicate woman in a long skirt squatting on the ground from a distance, holding a dirty-looking beggar in her arms, and wiping the blood from the corners of her mouth with a white handkerchief as if no one was around, her expression was very quiet and gentle.
The picture was very impactful and firmly attracted his attention, so he stood on the periphery to see who the woman was, but he didn't expect it to be Mu Yan.
Among the tens of millions of people in Yanjing City, the two of them were able to meet so coincidentally, Xue Zhiyuan's heart fluctuated slightly, as if someone had touched a nerve with his fingertips.
Mu Yan didn't expect to meet Xue Zhiyuan here, it was really a coincidence.
She lowered her eyes at Xue Zhiyuan and nodded slightly.
Xue Zhiyuan also nodded at her.
Peach and Luwu saw that it was Xue Zhiyuan, and the two of them suddenly seemed to see a savior.
Taohong pointed to the fat woman and complained to Xue Zhiyuan, "This woman is really unreasonable, this child is obviously just eating buns that others don't want, so she started chasing and beating people, our girl said to give her five copper plates, so that she can be forgiving and forgiving, she still doesn't forgive, you have to ask us for five taels of silver......"
The fat woman and her man also heard that someone in the crowd revealed Xue Zhiyuan's identity, and the two of them were suddenly cramped and uneasy, their faces were full of apprehension, and they didn't even have the courage to look at Xue Zhiyuan.
Xue Zhiyuan glared at the fat woman coldly, pointed at the child who was beaten on the ground and lost half his life, and said, "You beat the child?" β
The fat woman's hands were wrenched together, and she defended uneasily, "He...... He stole something, we just beat him. β
The child immediately pleaded with pain, "No, I didn't steal it, it was someone else's leftovers, I picked it up and ate it." β
The fat woman suddenly coughed uneasily, "That's also stealing ......" and pushed the man next to her, and said in a low voice, "You have something to say......"
The man craned his neck, not daring to speak.
The fat woman gritted her teeth angrily, and could only take a step back and said, "Forget it, a child, we won't embarrass him, just tell him not to steal our buns in the future......"
The fat woman turned around and wanted to leave.
Xue Zhiyuan glanced at the two little servants beside him, and the two of them suddenly went up, one of them pressed the fat woman's shoulder. (To be continued.) )
