The little boy in front of him is not a liar, right?

I took a closer look at him, not to mention, this appearance really looks a little similar to Pear Blossom.

Looking at his thin appearance, he really looks like the sick and crooked brother in Lihua's mouth.

I looked him up and down, his shoes were torn, and it looked like he had been walking for days to get here.

Isn't it...... What's really wrong with Rika?

I was in a hurry and hurriedly asked him, "What's the matter?" Didn't this pear blossom go home for the New Year? ”

"Yes, my sister is going home for the New Year, but as soon as she entered the door, she asked her grandmother to send her away......" The little boy cried even more and cried even more breathlessly, "It is said that the lobby brother has no money to marry a daughter-in-law, and Li Yuanwai next door is willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to buy his sister, and his grandmother immediately sent his sister away......"

What the? I've heard Rika talk about her grandmother, who had the idea to sell her to the Jiyue Tower. Hehe, such a wicked woman is really bold!

I just asked Pear Blossom to go back for the New Year, and this deed of sale is still in my hand, so she is good, she sold the person, and took the silver to her eldest grandson to marry a daughter-in-law.

I was in a good mood today, but when I heard this now, I was on fire for a while.

"Child, let me ask you, how long has your sister been taken away?" Zhao Rongxian held my hand, and then his eyes fell on the little boy.

The little boy's eyes were red, and he wiped his tears as he spoke, "Grandmother locked my sister in the house, saying that she would get married tomorrow, and my sister said that she would come to the Four Kings' Mansion for help, and I ran out secretly." ”

"How many days have you walked to get here?" Zhao Rongxian frowned and asked him again.

The child wiped his tears, but he was also weak, "three days ......"

He was a thin boy who had walked for three days to get here, and he didn't necessarily know the way, but if he had taken a carriage, he would have been able to get there in one day.

I thought about it, and hurriedly said to Zhao Rongxian, "Lord, I want to go to Lihua's house, and ask Lord Wang to help send some people." ”

"I'll go with you." Zhao Rongxian looked at me deeply, and then instructed Liang Feng, "Liang Feng, get some food for that kid and leave immediately." ”

Zhao Rongxian...... Is this the wrong medicine? Normally if I wanted to come forward in person, he would have stopped me, but today he wants to go with me.

To be honest, if I didn't know that the people in the Lihua family were difficult, I wouldn't have been able to go in person, I had to let Liang Feng go.

But although Liang Feng has good kung fu, he is also a tendon, and when he encounters such a difficult person, he will pull out a knife if he disagrees.

I was also afraid that Liang Feng would pull out the knife if he didn't agree with him, so I decided to go in person.

In the end, this girl is very loyal to me, and since she is my maidservant, I naturally can't let it go.

It's just that Zhao Rongxian's reaction really makes me wonder.

I looked at him silently for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”

"What nonsense...... Zhao Rongxian glanced at Liang Feng, who was taking buns and water from the mansion to give to Pear Blossom's younger brother, and said in a low voice, "I'm for Liang Feng, Liang Feng likes Pear Blossom, can't you see it?" ”

"What?" I was shocked, looked at Liang Feng in astonishment, and then looked at Zhao Rongxian, "Lord Wang...... You...... Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I find out? ”

"What can your brain find?" Zhao Rongxian glanced at it with a smile, and saw that my face was a little ugly, so he immediately changed his words, "What this king means is that you are too busy on weekdays to pay attention to others." ”

"Didn't you notice? This pear blossom can help Liang Feng wash his clothes several times. There is also Liang Feng, the patches on his clothes have become neat and tidy recently, and what he made up by himself in the past can be described as a mess. ”

Don't say it, when Zhao Rongxian said this, I really found out.

Several times Liang Feng's clothes have become neat, and the patches on his body in the past were messy, but now they have become meticulous, and at a glance it is the handwriting of his daughter's family.

I glanced up at Zhao Rongxian, and had to sigh, "The prince is really the prince, and he is observant." ”

As we were talking, Liang Feng had already led the child over, looking at his distracted look, it seemed that he wanted the child to sit in the same carriage with me and Zhao Rongxian, but he didn't seem to dare to say it because of his identity.

"Lord Liang, let him sit in our carriage, and you can lead the way." As I spoke, I deliberately asked him again, "That Lord Liang, do you know where Lihua's house is?" ”

"You know, I've heard about it." Liang Feng said, and picked up the little boy into the carriage.

Under the faint candlelight, the little boy carefully shrank in the corner of the side, as if he was afraid of touching someone, and he looked more like a pear blossom when he was so scared.

Especially when he glanced up at Zhao Rongxian, he immediately buried his head again when he met Zhao Rongxian's cold face.

Pear blossom is the same, seeing Zhao Rongxian is like seeing a ghost.

He was too scared, so I coughed lightly and asked him gently, "Son, what's your name?" ”

Zhu ...... Zhu Ergou ......"

“……”

What's the name? Rika still sounds like a personal name, but why did her younger brother come up with such an ugly name?

I originally thought that my brother's name was ugly enough, but now it seems that my father's name is not bad.

I paused, and then asked him in a relaxed manner, "Ergou, how old are you this year?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the princess, I'm twelve years old......" When he said this, Zhu Ergou hesitated slightly, as if he didn't want to let the family know his age.

Twelve? I thought he was eight or nine years old. I think it's because I'm so sick on weekdays that I'm much shorter than the average child.

No wonder he looked reluctant to reply, presumably because of his short stature on weekdays, he was bullied a lot.

If I had known, I wouldn't have asked him how old he was.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say again.

"Zhu Ergou, how are you reading?" I was thinking about what to say more, Zhao Rongxian suddenly opened his mouth, he was serious, with a Confucian style, and said, "Your sister has worked hard in the palace, that is, to study for you, hoping that one day you can become a talent." You must study hard and not let down your sister's hopes. ”

What's that? When did Rika say that she came to the palace to do things so that her brother could study?

What's more, when Pear Blossom saw Zhao Rongxian, it was like seeing a ghost, so she hid directly behind me, where would she talk to Zhao Rongxian.

I was just wondering, Zhu Ergou next to him opened his mouth again, he paused, his eyes were full of sourness, and he was even more resentful, "I didn't study, my grandmother said that I was not in good health, and it was useless to study, and the money my sister took home was given to my cousin to study......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Ergou was very angry, "Grandmother is always partial to her cousin, and last time in order to repay her cousin's gambling debts, she also sold her sister to the Qinglou......"

When he said this, Zhu Ergou had no fear at all, only anger in his eyes.

Looking at Zhao Rongxian again, he returned to his usual cold look, and I suddenly realized that he had deliberately made up such a play, so that Zhu Ergou could chat with him, so that he would not be so afraid.

Zhu Ergou was indeed not afraid at all at the moment, but he was extremely angry.

Don't say it's him, I'm so angry. If I remember correctly, Pear Blossom said earlier that she was sold into the Qinglou because her brother was sick, and the money was not used for Zhu Ergou.

And it seems that Rika shouldn't know about it.

In order to confirm, I asked Zhu Ergou again, "Ergou, isn't your sister sold to Jiyue Tower that day to raise money for your treatment?" ”

"My grandmother said that I was sick with old age, and I only sold some cheap herbs, and gave the rest of the money to my cousin." Zhu Ergou said, even more sad, "I have been weak since I was a child, and my grandmother felt that she couldn't count on me, so she always hoped that I would die earlier, and my sister had always protected me." They always bully my sister......"

"If so...... If I had been better and I had grown taller, I would have been able to protect my sister......"

"Your sister doesn't need you to protect ......" Zhao Rongxian suddenly said again, as if he was deliberately adjusting the atmosphere.

Zhu Ergou was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhao Rongxian with a look at his brother-in-law.

Zhao Rongxian was stunned, immediately held my hand, and then darkened his face again, and said as if explaining, "The one who gave you the bun just now will be your brother-in-law in the future." ”

Zhu Ergou was obviously relieved, it was obvious that he didn't want Zhao Rongxian, who looked fierce, to be his brother-in-law.

In the darkness, there was a sudden silence again.

Zhao Rongxian gently straightened the robe on my body, and said to me softly, "Let's sleep for a while, I guess I won't be there until tomorrow morning." ”

As he spoke, he took off his robe and handed it to Zhu Ergou, who was shrinking beside him, and said in a cold voice, "Take it ......"

When did Zhao Rongxian become so kind? actually gave his robe to Zhu Ergou, I thought about it, untied the robe on my body, and covered some on him.

Zhao Rongxian immediately wrapped himself around me again, and said softly, "I don't need to, just take care of yourself." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took me into his arms and let me rest on his shoulder.

I knew that Zhao Rongxian had always been stubborn, so I didn't say anything more, just silently shrunk in his arms.

I don't know how long it took, Liang Feng's voice came from outside, "Lord Wang...... Princess, it's time to ......"

I opened my eyes slightly, and the sudden light was extremely harsh, and it took me a while to get used to it.

In front of me is a small village, which doesn't seem to be too poor, but it's definitely not rich either.

Zhu Ergou had already jumped out of the carriage and pointed to the path ahead, "From here, it is my home." ”

As he spoke, he immediately pulled Liang Feng and walked in front majestically, and then said to Liang Feng, "Brother Liang, that villain is not as strong as you, and my cousin is not as strong as you......"

He listened to Zhao Rongxian's words last night, and felt that Liang Feng would be his brother-in-law in the future, so because of the support of a strong brother-in-law, he suddenly had confidence.

"Brother Liang, hurry up, it's a little later, my sister will get on the sedan chair!" As he spoke, Zhu Ergou pulled Liang Feng again.

Zhao Rongxian and I also hurriedly followed, followed by a large number of guards with knives.

Liang Feng held the saber, walked up and asked coldly, "Where is Zhu Lihua?" ”

At that time, there were many people inside and outside the Zhu family, and it seemed that they were all villagers who came to drink the wine, and the sudden appearance of Zhao Rongxian and I frightened them, thinking that Pear Blossom had done something.

Even Pear Blossom's grandmother was a little surprised, she looked at me in astonishment, then at Zhao Rongxian, accompanied by a smiling face, "Dare to ask a few adults what are you looking for Pear Blossom?" Pear Blossom Mo didn't do anything to kill people and set fires, right? ”

"Grandmother, I said that pear blossoms are not a good thing...... A few people, let me tell you, what mistake this pear blossom has made has nothing to do with our Zhu family, she is going to get married today, she ......"

"Shut up, did you talk?" Seeing the fat head and big ears chattering in front of me, I couldn't help but scold angrily at that time.

The fat head and big ears were stunned, as if they wanted to get angry, but when they saw the guards behind me, they immediately shut up again.

Rika's grandmother immediately greeted her with a smile, "Adults, what are you looking for Rika for?" But let's talk about it first, Lihua will get married today, if she does anything, it has nothing to do with our Zhu family. ”

This family is really a bastard!

I tried my best to loot the pear blossoms, and now I think something is wrong, so I push the pear blossoms far away.

I sneered and looked at her mockingly, "Pear Blossom didn't do anything wrong, I'm here to pick up Pear Blossom." ”

"You...... What do you mean? Are you trying to rob the people's daughters? Pear Blossom's grandmother was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face was righteous and awe-inspiring, "Let me tell you, although our Pear Blossom has entered the Qinglou, but she is now an innocent woman, she ......"

Looking at her like this, I was disgusted for a moment, and immediately interrupted her, "Didn't Pear Blossom tell you that I ransomed her from the Qinglou?" Now her deed of sale is still in my hands, she is a person in my house, I just let her go home for the New Year, how can I ...... didn't say a word, and suddenly married her! Have you ever asked me? ”

Lihua's grandmother's face turned pale, and just as she wanted to ask, Zhu Ergou suddenly appeared from behind Liang Feng, full of confidence, "This is the fourth princess......"

As soon as Zhu Ergou's words came out, Grandma Lihua's face turned even whiter, and the fat head and big ears next to her were even more shocked and angry.

The surrounding villagers are even more discussing......

Speaking of which, Zhao Rongxian and I are still somewhat famous in the Northern Dynasties. Zhao Rongxian's military achievements are great, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he is about to threaten the emperor's throne, and the people respect and fear him.

As for me, because I am often discredited by others, I have a bad reputation for being domineering and vicious.

As Zhao Rongxian's favorite scourge, even if I am really vicious, they have nothing to do with me.

Pear Blossom's grandmother's face froze suddenly, but the next moment she reacted again, knelt on the ground with a pop, looked at Zhao Rongxian, and then looked at me, and immediately sold pity, "The fourth prince, the fourth princess, yes...... It is a folk woman who has eyes but no beads. Oh, Pear Blossom, a dead girl, didn't say anything when she came back, and the woman arranged a marriage for her. ”

"Did she not say it, or did you take it as a fluke?" I sneered and raised my voice, "I heard that you sold Pear Blossom into the Qinglou in order to pay off your eldest grandson's gambling debts, and now you have collected one hundred taels of silver from others to marry your eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, and married Pear Blossom to an old villain!" ”

"Do you think that if you lose a slave in the Four Kings' Mansion, you won't take it seriously?"

"I tell you! Pear blossom is the princess's personal maidservant! This princess treats her like a sister! How dare you sell the princess's sister to a villain who is old enough to be her father! ”

"Are you tired of being alive?" I glared at her angrily and snapped, "Come on! Bring the pear blossoms out! ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the guards drew their swords.

Where had Rika's grandmother seen such a battle, she was trembling like chaff, but she was still unwilling, "No...... The princess, yes...... It's Rika herself...... The ...... I want to marry"

"Nonsense, Pear Blossom has already been promised to Lord Liang! If she doesn't marry a dignified guard with a knife, why would she marry an old villain who can be her father! I immediately glanced at Liang Feng, "Go!" Bring your daughter-in-law out! ”

"Princess, the woman will bring the pear blossom out immediately." At this moment, a woman who looked a little younger suddenly came over, her eyes were full of joy, and there was a man standing next to her, but she did not speak with a white face.

Is this Rika Daddy?

I nodded at the woman, and motioned for the guards to put away their knives.

The woman immediately went into the house, and Rika's grandmother was a girl trembling on the ground, and the fat head and big ears beside her were full of unwillingness, but they did not dare to say anything.

On the contrary, the surrounding villagers had already started to discuss it, saying that they thought it was strange how Rika could be willing to marry an old villain, and that her grandmother was the cause of her grandmother's love, and then said a lot of ugly things. Then he said that Pear Blossom was bitter and sweet, and she found a good husband, who looked dignified, and was still an official......

Rika's grandmother didn't dare to say a word......

After a while, Pear Blossom came out of it, and when she saw me, she immediately cried, "Princess, the slave maid still thinks ...... I'll never see you again......"

Pear Blossom's small face was full of tears, and there were faint slap marks, this damn evil woman actually did it with her!

I quickly reached out to help her up, and asked her gently, "Your grandmother said that you married the old villain of your own free will, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to the princess, there is no one! It's grandmother...... It was my grandmother and cousin who forced me to marry! I refused to marry, so they tied me up! Rika was already full of resentment at the moment.

Her grandmother was even more panicked for a while, and immediately begged me for mercy, "Princess, is it...... It's a folk woman who is fascinated for a while, and she asks the princess to forgive her sins......"

As she spoke, she glanced at the pear blossom's father next to her, and then the pear blossom's father glanced at the pear blossom again.

However, before his eyes could fall into Pear Blossom's eyes, Pear Blossom's mother came over and cried loudly to me, "Princess Niangniang, you don't know, they ...... They want the life of our pear blossom for the hundred taels of silver! Pear Blossom didn't want to marry, so they started beating Pear Blossom, and Pear Blossom still has scars on her body! ”

As she spoke, Pear Blossom's mother rolled up Pear Blossom's sleeve.

Sure enough, on her arm, there were dense traces of being pinched, and even ...... There's even a needle's eye.

"This ...... This is too vicious! At that time, the villagers next to him couldn't stand it, and in the crowd, I don't know who suddenly said, "Princess Niangniang, you must not spare such a wicked person!" ”

Spare her? Think beautifully!

The people who dare to touch my hands still use such vicious means!

I looked indifferently at the old lady kneeling on the ground, and asked Pear Blossom in a cold voice, "Pear Blossom, who did anything to you?" ”

"There are uncles, grandmothers, aunts, and cousins......" Rika wiped her tears, turned her eyes, and suddenly looked at her father, "My father also slapped me......"

Hehe, this is my father, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that there would be such a father! It's even more vicious than my grandmother.

It's all here, how can you not give them some color to see.

I thought about it for a while and instructed Liang Fengdao, "Lord Liang, take them down and ask Lihua how they beat her." But whoever has beaten her will call back this princess in the same way! Ten times the fight back! ”

This time Rika's grandmother was completely frightened, and Rika's father also screamed and begged for mercy.

Xu was heartbroken, but Pear Blossom didn't pay attention to this.

Pear Blossom's mother ignored it and watched her husband being taken down.

After a while, I heard a ghost crying wolf howl in the house, especially Rika's grandmother, who screamed like killing a pig.

The villagers next to me applauded one by one, and even praised me in public, saying that I was not as vicious as the rumors, and that I was so protective of all slaves and maids, and that it was naturally good to others.

Don't say it, this trip is really not in vain, just a moment of hard work, I immediately changed from a mean slave and a concubine who abused her subordinates to a distressed slave and a good person who was kind and righteous.

It's all beating people, but I became a good person when I beat Pear Blossom's family, which shows how unpopular Pear Blossom's grandmother and cousin are.

After about a stick of incense, Rika's grandmother and cousin were carried out, and the rest of the family passed out except for her father, whose face was red and swollen.

I glanced at them calmly, and then instructed Liang Fengdao, "Find a doctor for them to see, the princess is out." ”

"Princess...... The woman has something to beg you...... "Pear Blossom's mother came over at some point, she looked at Pear Blossom's father, and stopped talking.

What is she trying to do? Think her husband didn't punish enough?

I smiled and looked kind, "What do you have to say......"

"Princess, women...... The woman wants to be separated from her father...... "Pear Blossom's mother red-eyed, "This happened today, once you leave, princess, they ...... They will inevitably bully our mother and son again......"
