As soon as the three of them entered the alley, they could see rows of beggars squatting in the corner, most of them begging for leftover steamed buns and coming back here to fill their stomachs in a hurry, and then went out to beg for the next meal.

Their arrival made all the beggars raise their heads and look at them.

There have never been big families here, and judging by what they are wearing, they don't look like people who will appear here.

Immediately after, the sound of begging sounded one after another.

"Childe, you can do well, give some silver!"

"Childe, we haven't eaten in a few days, so you can give a little charity."

Hua Fei looked at their eyes that were shining, and she didn't make a sound, and passed by them directly.

In this case, as long as one of them is given, the others will rush up and eat them to a bone.

She asked Ju'er in a low voice as she walked, "How far is your house?" ”

Ju'er was afraid that her master would dislike her remoteness and the environment was not good, so she looked at her with a begging gaze and said, "Don't worry, master, it's just ahead, it's almost there." ”

Looking up, an old woman on crutches approached her.

The face full of vicissitudes was raised slightly, and his cloudy eyes looked Ju'er up and down, and finally put the crutches in his hand on the ground.

"Ju'er, you're finally back!"

Hua Fei looked at Ju'er in surprise and asked, "This is your mother?" ”

Ju'er shook her head at her, trotted to the old woman, held her arm and said with concern: "Granny Ma, why did you come out?" What about my mother? ”

Granny Ma squinted at her for a long time with her eyes drooping due to loose skin, tears rolling in her eyes. Suddenly, he picked up the cane in his hand and hit her.

"You unfilial daughter! You still know to come back, you still know that you have a mother here! I thought you would ignore your mother and younger siblings if you climbed the rich and noble branches! ”

Ju'er let her fight, didn't hide for a while, and stood in place and cried.

"Granny Ma, I didn't mean not to come back, don't be like this, what if you get angry?"

"What's the use of you telling me, it's your mother who you're sorry for!"

"My mother, what's wrong with my mother?"

Hearing this question, Granny Ma took back the crutches in her hand, only wiped her tears and cried, and stopped talking.

Ju'er glanced at Huafei, saw her nodding at her, and immediately trotted home.

Hua Fei and Qing Nan followed.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I was greeted by a strong rancid smell. It seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time, overgrown with weeds, and rats are scurrying around.

Hua Fei frowned slightly, she didn't expect that there would be such a house in the capital.

After walking a few steps further, I suddenly heard Ju'er's mournful cry.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you?! ”

Hua Fei's heart tightened, and she hurriedly quickened her pace.

After entering the door, I saw a small room, a woman with a gray-black face lying on a broken wooden bed, her eyes were closed, and there were dark purple marks on her bare arms, and her chest could no longer rise and fall.

Next to the wooden bed stood a little boy who looked to be about ten years old, with tears in his eyes, quietly watching Ju'er in front of him crying into a tearful person.

When Hua Fei saw this scene, the expression on her face became solemn.

If she didn't guess wrong, Ju'er's mother was already ......

"Eldest sister, Granny Ma said that her mother is dead, and she will never come back, don't cry, my mother doesn't like us to cry." The tears in the boy's eyes were about to fall uncontrollably, but he was forced to go back.

He sniffed, took a step closer to Ju'er, and gently tugged at her clothes.

"It's just eldest sister, why did you come back so late? My mother kept talking about you before she died, and I hoped that I could look at you again before I died. Didn't you hear your mother's prayer? ”

Ju'er lay on the bed and cried uncontrollably, and when she heard this, she was even more sad, because her whole body was trembling because of the sobbing.

"It's me who I'm sorry for my mother, I couldn't come back to see her for the last time, it's me damn ......"

The corners of Huafei's mouth moved, and she wanted to say something but she was stuck in her throat, and her heart was extremely uncomfortable.

If she hadn't taken Ju'er's words to heart before, she wouldn't have let her mother not even see her for the last time.

"Ju'er, you...... Condolences change. Finally, she finally held back this sentence.

She knew that for Ju'er at this moment, nothing could make up for her miss, but she still wanted to comfort her.

Ju'er didn't respond, only whined and cried.

Soon, a person suddenly broke into the room.

It was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, dirty, thin, and her big black eyes looked back and forth between Hua Fei and Qingnan with a scrutinizing gaze.

When he glanced at the bed, his eyes became sharp.

"Wang Ju'er, do you still know to come back?! Get out, don't touch my mother, get out of me! ”

When the words fell, she had already rushed to Ju'er's side, pulling her clothes and pulling her out, trying to throw her out.

Ju'er looked back at her, wiped her tears, and then lowered her head and let her fist hit her.

The girl did not stop because of this, and the beating and scolding became more vigorous.

"You broom star, it was after you came to my house that my family became like this, you hurt my father, hurt my mother, and caused me and my brother to have no home, you still dare to disturb my mother's spirit in the sky, you get out of here!"

"I obviously said that I would treat my mother's illness, and I looked filial and filial, but I gave a few taels of silver and ran away, you are a harmful spirit, what are you going to do when you are dead?!"

Seeing her slap hit Ju'er one by one, Hua Fei couldn't help it, and stepped forward to pull the girl aside.

"If you have something to say, don't do it."

Ju'er couldn't cry at the moment, seeing Huafei protecting her, there was a trace of gratitude in her sad eyes.

Large families are very taboo about this kind of scene, especially in such a dilapidated house, I didn't expect the young lady to comfort her and protect her.

In her heart, as a slave, she should die a thousand times, and she will not have any complaints about Hua Fei because she delayed her going out before, let alone feel that Hua Fei must feel guilty about her and help her.

However, Hua Fei at this moment is indeed guilty.

According to the girl, her mother's illness should have been cured at that time, but she lacked money in her hand.

But she took all the silver in Ju'er's hand, and also changed her errands, restricting her freedom to leave the house. She wasn't completely blameless for her mother's death.

The girl glared at her fiercely and roared angrily: "We want you to take care of our family's affairs as an outsider?!" You get out of here, too! ”

Seeing her like this, Ju'er hurriedly got up from the ground and persuaded her: "Xiaolian, don't do this, he is my master...... Friends, the following offenses are punishable. ”

"Oh, your master is not my master! Don't think that you can use your identity to suppress me if you sell yourself to a master, you will always be a cheap embryo! ”
