Chapter 046: Female Beggar
"Nope." Both spoke at the same time.
Su Xue looked at the two of them, a little confused: "You... You guys..."
"Ahem, cough, Xue'er, you still drink less as a girl." Yu Heng said in a good tone for you, now Yu Heng is nominally Su Xue's brother, and it is natural to care about her.
But Leng Junyi's refusal felt a little abrupt, looking at Yu Heng's puzzled eyes, he said lightly: "I am a doctor, and she is now my patient, so I have the most right to speak." β
"Oh~ I see, you seem to have such a reason to say this."
"Then I... I don't drink anymore. Su Xue didn't expect that she just wanted to taste this peach blossom brew, but she provoked the two sons to refuse, and in the end she could only eat with her head down.
The three of them left Wangjiang Tower after eating and drinking, Yu Heng was still savoring the taste of the food just now, and soon there was a noisy sound in the crowd.
"Kill her, dare to come to our territory to beg."
Then there was the sound of punching and kicking.
"What's going on? Let's take a look. Su Xue saw so many people watching, and there was a muffled snort from time to time.
Pushing aside the crowd, I saw a group of beggars beating another beggar, and the beaten beggar curled up in a ball, pulling his head and letting them beat and scold, all but muffled snorts.
The crowd of onlookers did not mean to stop at all, they just watched indifferently the whole time, and occasionally talked a few words.
"Stop, stop." Su Xue couldn't stand it, and immediately stopped it.
But the group of beggars glanced at the woman in front of them and said viciously, "Don't meddle in your business. Then he went on to hit the beggar on the ground.
Seeing this, Yu Heng asked Xue'er to stop, they didn't even stop, he is now Xue'er's brother, so naturally he can't let his sister be bullied by this group of people.
So he swept his legs and knocked all the beggars to the ground, wailing on the ground.
"Hmph, Xue'er asked you to stop, but you dare not listen."
At this time, the group of beggars and the surrounding people recognized that the beautiful woman in front of them turned out to be the daughter of King Ping, so everyone asked Yu Heng and Su Xue to say goodbye, and then they all retreated to the side and waited.
Su Xue stepped forward to help the beggar up, the beggar was covered with dirt, and even the clothes could no longer see the original color, let alone the face, and could only vaguely see that it was a woman from the outline of his face.
"Are you alright?" Su Xue asked softly.
But the beggar seemed to be frightened, his whole body was still trembling at this time, and he didn't answer Su Xue's words.
At this time, Su Xue looked at Yu Heng again: "Let's give her a little silver, look at her and look pitiful." β
The last thing Yu Heng lacks is silver, originally he didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but since his sister spoke, he naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
took out a certain amount of silver from his bosom and handed it to the beggar: "You are quite lucky, you met the master's sister." β
The beggar's body trembled obviously, she never expected that the woman in front of her turned out to be the county lord, looking at the lifeless hands, but quickly looked away.
"Hey, are you too little?" Yu Heng saw that the beggar didn't go to pick up his ingot of silver, which was ten taels, which could already allow an ordinary person to live for a few years.
However, when Su Xue saw that she didn't accept money, she thought about it in her heart: "Then are you willing to go back to the palace with me?" β
Su Xue thought of herself, if she didn't have a stepmother, it was unknown whether she would be able to grow up alive, and now when she saw the woman in front of her, she also sympathized in her heart.
The crowd of onlookers and the group of beggars all felt that this beggar had taken a shit luck, and he could get the help of the county lord, and he could follow the county lord into the palace, that is, to go to the palace to be an ordinary subordinate, and the salary was also a lot.
And this beggar didn't expect Su Xue to let her go to the palace with her, and she felt a little uneasy.
"How? Would you like to? Seeing that she didn't answer, Su Xue continued to ask.
The beggar seemed to be engaged in a fierce struggle in her heart, and at last she finally decided that she would first tell her who she was, regardless of whether the county lord blamed her or not.
So the beggar didn't curl up, but knelt down in front of Su Xue, this action startled Su Xue: "Hey, you... What are you doing, hurry up. β
But the beggar was unmoved, and finally spoke: "Thank you for the county lord's life-saving grace, the grass people have nothing to repay, but... It's just that the grass people don't deserve to follow the county lord. β
"Girl, you get up and talk first, do you encounter any difficulties, if you encounter any difficulties, you tell me, I will help you if I can."
The beggar kowtowed to Su Xue three more times: "County Lord, these three rings are made by the grass people to make amends to you." β
"Reparations?" Su Xue was a little confused by this beggar's actions, could it be that when did this beggar offend herself? But think about it, no one has offended themselves, except for that Mu Anyang.
But the woman in front of her would definitely not be Mu Anyang, so she was even more strange.
The beggar saw that Su Xue was puzzled, so he slowly clarified his identity: "County Lord, the grass people are Wanyue, and they used to be the maids by Miss Mu's side." β
When she heard the words 'Miss Mu', Su Xue's heart tightened, and her face turned a little pale, these three words were already like a thorn in her heart.
Yu Heng saw that Su Xue was a little strange, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?" β
Su Xue shook her head, and then fixed her mind and said to Wanyue: "Miss Wanyue, you get up first, this matter is not your fault, not to mention that if it wasn't you at the beginning, I'm afraid..."
That's right, if Wan Yue hadn't secretly let her go, I'm afraid she would still be locked up in that dilapidated thatched hut and continue to be tortured by Mu Anyang, so Wan Yue can also be regarded as her benefactor.
"No, county lord, if it's not Miss, you're also... You won't eitherβ" said with another burst of sadness and self-blame.
Su Xue interrupted her: "Mu Anyang is Mu Anyang, you are you, you are different, I don't blame you, not to mention that you saved me in the first place." β
And she knew that Mu Anyang was a ruthless person, and if Wan Yue let herself go, Mu Anyang would definitely not let her go.
Yu Heng and Leng Junyi didn't know what happened at the beginning, but at this time, from the conversation between the two, they knew that the two of them knew each other, and the girl named Wanyue in front of them had saved Su Xue?
Since he is Su Xue's life-saving benefactor, Yu Heng will naturally pay attention to it.
Wanyue didn't know how to express her apologies for a while, but Su Xue continued: "Wanyue girl, this is not the place to talk, if you want, go back to the palace with me." β
In the end, Wan Yue nodded and went back to the palace with the three of them.
After returning to the palace, Su Xue instructed the maid to freshen up for Wan Yue, but Wan Yue refused.
At last the maid made water, prepared clean clothes, and withdrew.
When he exited, he accidentally saw Wanyue taking off her clothes with her back to the door, and her back was covered with scars.
The maid told Su Xue what she saw, and Su Xue asked her not to spread the matter.
Then he took a deep breath.
And Leng Junyi and Yu Heng would sit quietly, as if waiting for her to explain this matter herself.
Su Xue also took advantage of the time when Wanyue was freshening up and roughly talked about what happened before.
These things made Yu Heng very angry when he heard this, although Su Xue was not his own sister, but after getting along for so long, he had already regarded her as his own sister.
And now Su Xue's identity is a daughter, and he was slandered by the granddaughter of a general in another country, and after hearing it, he wanted to immediately cut the so-called Mu Anyang with a thousand knives.
In the end, it was Su Xue who calmed down the angry Yu Heng, and now Yu Heng is completely a spoiled sister maniac, and he is reluctant to let Su Xue suffer a little grievance.
This made Su Xue both moved and weak-hearted.
And Leng Junyi didn't make any waves when he heard it, not that he was cold-blooded, but that he was used to hiding all his emotions.
Soon Wan Yue was freshened up and brought over by the maid.
"Wan Yue has seen the county lord, the prince, and this son." Wan Yue saluted the three of them.
"Wanyue, no need to be polite, come and sit down." Su Xue had already asked someone to bring a stool over.
After Wanyue sat down, Su Xue said, "Wanyue, how did you get to Nanshuo?" According to Mu Anyang's temperament, she will not let Wanyue leave.
"County master, the slave and maid ran out secretly." Wanyue recalled her days in Yang'an Courtyard, which was a hell on earth.
It turned out that after Mu Anyang killed the two little guys, he tortured Wan Yue in every way, burning with a soldering iron, whipping with a whip, etc., all the torture was tried on her, at that time, Wan Yue was only bent on death, but Mu Anyang was not as good as she wanted, just like she did with Su Xue at the beginning, so that she couldn't survive and die.
But fortunately, there was a time when Mrs. Mu was sick, and Mu Anyang went to Yang'an Courtyard less often, so she secretly ran out when it was dark.
But no matter where Donglai Guo went, she couldn't escape from Mu Anyang's palm, so she went all the way south and came to Nanshuo, but because she was not entangled in her body, she begged all the way here, because it was begging, she was not less blinded and beaten.
Just like being beaten by the group of beggars just now, she just instinctively covered her head and let them beat and scold.
Hearing what happened to Wan Yue, Su Xue understood very well what she had suffered, she really wanted to keep Wan Yue, but she didn't understand that this palace was not her home, so she looked at Yu Heng: "Can I let Wan Yue stay in the palace?" β
"No need, county lord, the grass people don't want to cause trouble to the county lord." Juan Yue was originally very kind, but she was afraid that she would embarrass Su Xue, and when she came to Nanshuo Kingdom, she heard that the palace had found her daughter who had been missing for many years, but she didn't expect that this county lord turned out to be Su Xue.
"Of course, don't forget that you are the lord of the county, and this is also your home." Yu Heng smiled knowingly.
"Wanyue, do you hear me? So you can stay in peace, so that I can repay you for saving your life. Su Xue seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she gave Yu Heng another look.
Yu Heng also immediately understood: "Yes, Miss Wanyue, you stay, you saved Xue'er, that is the benefactor of our palace, how can we let the benefactor live on the streets." β
Wanyue seemed to be hesitating, Su Xue nodded again: "You can rest assured to stay, if you have a good place to go in the future, I won't stop you." β
In the end, Wan Yue nodded and promised to stay in the palace in the future, but insisted on being a maid.
