"Miss, it has been ascertained that the crying in the mountains came from a woman, and her family died."

After listening to the guard's words, Zuo Tingxue stepped out of the carriage, "Let's go and have a look." ”

"Miss, the master is still waiting for you in the mansion ......"

Zuo Tingxue glanced at Su's mother, she didn't want to listen to her nagging, and Su's mother also closed her mouth in amusement.

Walking in the mountain trail, Zuo Tingxue saw that in the depths of the woods, there were several thatched huts and dilapidated facilities, which looked very shabby.

In the thatched hut, a woman dressed as a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and next to him was a boy of seven or eight years old, whose clothes were in tattered clothes, and at the entrance of the main hall was a shabby bed, on which a corpse was covered with a white cloth.

Zuo Tingxue looked at this maid with a familiar face, but she didn't know where she had seen this person, she could hear from the sound of their crying that the deceased was their father, the family was very poor, and there was no money to buy a coffin, so this woman kept crying and blamed herself for being incompetent.

Zuo Tingxue felt very uncomfortable when she saw this, recalling her previous life, dozens of members of her family were all killed by Yan Congxuan and Liu Ruyan, and all of them were thrown into a mass grave and buried, and now she can't choose a good place for her family to be buried, let alone worship her family, thinking about her previous life, her heart hurts like a knife, and tears roll in her eyes.

The woman saw Zuo Tingxue with tears in her eyes, she wiped her tears and stood up, she didn't know this woman, "May I ask which family is Miss, I don't seem to know you?" ”

Zuo Tingxue came back to her senses, she hurriedly said apologetically: "I don't know you, I'm just passing by, I see that you are dressed like a rich maid, I don't know why you don't have money to buy a coffin for the old man?" ”

The woman listened to tears and welled up again, "Miss doesn't know, I was originally a maid who burned the fire in the prince's mansion, but because the current crown princess is harsh, she has not paid us wages for a long time, and my father has spent all his savings when he is sick, so now I don't even have the money to buy a coffin!" ”

Zuo Tingxue secretly speculated in her heart when she heard this, she really thought that God was helping her, but she really didn't expect Liu Ruyan to even deduct the wages of her subordinates, and it seemed that she had another sharp blade for revenge.

Zuo Tingxue hurriedly asked Mother Su to take out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the woman, "Jiu'er, the festival mourns and changes, you can use these silver coins to buy a coffin and bury your father well." ”

"No, Miss is just passing by, you and I don't know each other, how can I take your money!" The maid Jiu'er hurriedly excused herself.

"You Mingyu County Lord gave it to you, you can take it, don't shirk it." The talkative Mother Su said impatiently, she promised Qingyuan to wait for the lord and take the county lord of Mingyu back to the house as soon as possible, so she just wanted Zuo Tingxue to leave quickly.

"Jiu'er doesn't know that the county lord has arrived, please atone for the county lord." The maid Jiu'er hurriedly knelt down.

Zuo Tingxue hurriedly helped Jiu'er up, "Don't be polite, you take this money, if it's not enough, you can come to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion to find me at any time, this is the waist card of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

After speaking, Zuo Tingxue handed over the waist card to Jiu'er, and then left, leaving only Jiu'er's sincere thanks and kind eyes behind him.

Zuo Tingxue's carriage continued to move forward, and just when he was about to reach the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, suddenly more than a dozen white lights flashed in the distance.

Several throwing knives were inserted directly into the carriage, and several knives pierced the curtain of the carriage.

"Ah......h

"There are assassins, hurry up and protect the county lord." Su's mother heard the screams of the snow in the car, and she was already frightened, and hurriedly shouted, and the guards hurriedly pulled out their matching knives.
