Chapter 428 Choose one of the two
"He Xiang, you have nothing to do with me now. Qian Er bought you from me with ten taels of silver, do you remember."
The white fox fur on the cloak was swaying in the wind, making Nanzhi's small face look even smaller and more delicate.
But what she said only made He Xiang lose his mind.
She is still a slave now.
"You and Qian Er spread rumors behind my back and poured dirty water on me. Now you want me to help you. He Xiang, do you think I'm a fool?"
The stone slabs on the ground were bitingly cold. He Xiang felt his knees hurt, but Qian Er was frightened by He Xiang's actions just now.
He is now a useless person. If He Xiang also runs away, he will really have no choice but to starve to death on the streets.
"Madam City Lord, I hope you will not care about the faults of others. This matter is all my fault. It's the child who has a broken mouth and likes to spray feces everywhere. Please, please don't argue with me. It's a fight. I just want to admit that you like me. I just want you to not break up our husband and wife." Qian Er's face was full of flattery, and he just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
He was afraid that He Xiang would really leave him if he stayed any longer.
He was already a rotten person, so naturally he didn't want to fall into this quagmire alone.
Even if it becomes mud in there, you still have to take one down.
He Xiang's face had not looked better since the beginning.
The lady in front of her was the dignified wife of the city lord. It was easy to get back her deed of betrayal from the money, but her words clearly meant that she was unwilling to help him.
"Ma Po, just watch and come."
The wind made the southern branches feel a little chilly, so I only straightened my fur collar slightly, and then said nothing more.
"Yes." Mapo responded, and then walked in front of the two of them.
The servant made way for Mapo, but still did not put down the stick in his hand.
The city lord said that his wife's safety must be guaranteed no matter what.
"He Xiang, I have heard about you a long time ago. You were just a peasant girl at first. After you were sold as a slave, my wife kindly bought you back.
Not only did she not scold you harshly, she also taught you your crafts and hired a wife for you. You only need to make tea and fruit snacks every day to entertain the female guests.
Not only are you ungrateful, but you even repay kindness with hatred. Without caring about the reputation of my wife's shop, you have made a lifelong commitment to your husband after having private contact with her.
Not only did you not listen to Madam’s advice, but you also brazenly said that you no longer wanted to be an inferior slave.
Madam, you are kind-hearted, but when you see that you can’t be persuaded, your wish is granted.
But what are you doing now?
You allowed your new master to ruin your wife's reputation outside, and then acted miserably to win sympathy. Could it be that you used the dignified city lord's palace as a stage for you to perform? "
"You, don't slander me with empty words." Hexiang knew that Nanzhi would not help her, and her heart sank a little.
Snapped--
The clear slap marks came from He Xiang's face, and Zhao who was standing aside widened her eyes in shock.
She never thought she could see this today.
Cheng Yue also shrank, lowered her head and looked secretly at this side, but there was a murmur in her heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong today.
Qinglian was already angry because the Zhao family sent Cheng Yue to report the news today. Now she saw the imbalance in her heart and retreated a little.
"To Qian Er, you are just a common roommate, not even a concubine. As soon as you entered Qian's house, you persuaded Qian Er to chase his father out and do the unfilial thing. Any of these things you did is enough. You have eaten thirty boards and died several times. You are only sixteen years old, but the things you have done are vicious. If you are allowed to continue, I am afraid you will eventually become a disaster."
Mapo rubbed her aching hands and then said to the servant beside her.
"Tie these two people up and send them to the county government office."
"yes."
Several servants responded in unison, swarmed over and tied them both up.
It wasn't until he was sent to the county government gate that Hexiang seemed to have come back to her senses.
"It's over, it's over..." Qian Er was already frightened and could only mutter these two words.
He was just a sneaky little gangster. The last time he went to the county government, he was beaten half to death and almost cut off his descendants.
Less than two months later, he came in again.
Qian Eryi's face lost all color, and he felt even more resentful toward He Xiang.
Ever since this woman came, he has never had a good life in peace!
It's all her...
It's all her...
Seeing Qian Er's vicious eyes, He Xiang's back felt cold. Just as he was about to say something, he was dragged aside by the Yamen servant.
With a big move, the wound on Hexiang's forehead was torn open again, and blood dripped down his forehead. He looked so embarrassed.
It was already dark when Nanzhi returned to the house. Looking at the scenery in her yard, she felt that even the air was fresher.
Sure enough, the best way to relax is to remove that little thorn in your heart.
She has always hinted that she doesn't care about Hexiang, but the more depressing something is, the more irritating it will be when it pops up again.
"Madam, be careful of catching a cold." Seeing her wanting to take off her cloak, Mapo quickly stopped her.
Madam's health is not bad, but she is a little weak. She has insufficient energy and blood and cannot catch cold anymore.
"Ma Po, I'm fine." Nanzhi smiled and shook his head, feeling more relaxed all over.
Sure enough, staying at home all day is still a bit boring.
In the kitchen, Ms. Zhao's face softened a little, and she was now sipping hot soup from a porcelain bowl.
She didn't sleep a wink all night last night, and now she just felt dizzy.
But when she thought that the city lord's wife had not blamed him just now, she felt that all the things she had done were worth it.
"Aunt Zhao, please drink some more." Seeing that her porcelain bowl was empty, Qinglian hurriedly handed her a bowl with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao just glanced at her and didn't take it. Instead, she walked around her and looked at Cheng Yue beside her.
"Cheng Yue, you did a good job today, I count you a part of the credit."
Cheng Yue, who was drinking soup to warm up her body, was startled by Zhao's words, and then she showed surprise after she realized what she was saying.
"Many, thank you Aunt Zhao, it's all what I should do."
The little girl looked a little shy, which made Mr. Zhao shake his head inwardly.
If it weren't for the fact that Qinglian was more popular than Chengyue this year.
It's not like this girl is too stubborn.
As for Qinglian...
Zhao felt a little disdainful.
From the beginning, he wanted to drag that stupid girl Cheng Yue to join him in the muddy water, but it turned out that Cheng Yue was not that stupid, and he tried every means to become friends with her, just to use Cheng Yue to set off himself.
These little tricks are okay for young people who have no experience in the world, but she has lived for so many years, how can she not understand?
Both girls may not be good, but if she really had to choose one, she would still choose that stupid girl Cheng Yue.
After all, even if you are stupid, at least your heart is not dark.
