C160 Take the steamed bun as a fare
Mian Niang's previous mistake had been bad, and this caused Song Family to be extremely suspicious.
"You keep telling me that, this time, you're not allowed to hide it."
Even if she did not hold any hope anymore, Mian Niang would still feel wronged when Mother asked this question. In her mother's eyes, she seemed to be the same water flower like Wu Niang.
She did not have the opportunity to show her grievance, and her mother would not take it to heart.
Understanding this logic, Mian Niang calmed herself down and explained everything that had happened to Jiang Ting, including the fact that he had saved his three times.
"Why did he save you for no reason? Isn't he someone from the Prince Rong? Is he trying to do something to you? "
Song Li looked at Mian Niang suspiciously, as if her daughter was somehow related to that Jiang Ting.
Mian Niang sighed, and feebly defended herself: "How should I know, before this time, I didn't even know her name. What's more, she should be considered someone with some status. What could she possibly have up her sleeves? If you look at my face every day, do you think anyone else would like to look so emaciated and emaciated as me? Who would have such poor judgement? "
This was the first time Mian Niang spoke to her in such a rude manner. Madame Song Li looked at her daughter and did not know what to say, and it was true, especially to Mian Niang whose face had swelled up after the beating, even if Madame Song Li had looked at her daughter from top to bottom a few times, she could not find any good points about her.
"Who knows? Isn't Gu Xin much stronger than him? Wasn't he also a demon that was obsessed with the heart and mind?"
When Gu Han was mentioned, both mother and daughter became silent.
This person, including the things that he caused, had caused too much harm to this family. Thinking of that person, she also thought of her dead husband and her son, who was sent to the army, and let out a long sigh.
Mian Niang said: I forgot to ask him why he wanted to save me, but you don't have to think so badly of me, I have never done anything to him, and up till now, he has never mentioned anything about saving me. If I didn't know from how he threw the stone at me, I wouldn't have thought that it was him.
"Even so, you can't let your guard down."
She seemed to have realized that what she said earlier was indeed a bit too much. Looking at her daughter's swollen face, Madame Song eased up her tone a little and reminded her.
"It's not that I don't think well of him, but he's after all, a member of the Prince Rong. Everything that happened to our family today was completely related to that Prince Rong, and they couldn't have any intention of harming him, but they had to guard against him. How do you know that he's not on his master's side?"
Her words could be said to be sincere and earnest. Mian Niang nodded, and obediently responded with a "En".
Mrs. Song Li was still worried as she warned Mian Niang, "You should also pay attention to yourself. Even though you are dressed like a man, the people of eight miles of village all know that you are a woman and do not leave any traces for others to find out. Mian Niang, behind all the rumors and rumors, you are the one who is suffering the most!"
"I understand this logic, but he did save me, so he just follows me from behind. If I don't kick him, I'll feel bad."
Madame Song Li once again had nothing to say.
She knew in her heart that what Mian Niang said was right. Facing her benefactor, and even her savior, how could she possibly be indifferent and do nothing?
If it was her, she wouldn't have been able to do such a thing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to all the benefits Mian Niang had given to the villagers over and over again.
"Remember this favor. If there's a chance in the future, you must repay it."
"You're not angry?"
"You also said that you saved his life. What's there to be angry about? Those things were all done by his master, so what does it have to do with him?"
It was fine if he was angry, but it was true that he felt weird in his heart.
Madame Song Li asked doubtfully: "I wonder why he has come back again, and if it has anything to do with Wu Niang?"
Mian Niang shook her head: "I don't know about that, but he acted mercilessly. The moment I opened my eyes, the people's wrists started bleeding, I don't know how injured they are, before I could even leave, Wu Niang's wrists were also cut open, and not a single bit of weakness could be felt."
Compared to this person, slapping him in the face was nothing, but even so, Wu Niang's actions were still considered very vicious when compared to his. Thinking about it this way, Mian Niang felt that it was nothing, furthermore, if he did not act so freely and shock him, he probably would not have been able to regain his freedom so quickly.
Mian Niang had a selfish thought and felt that she deserved to receive whatever injuries Wu Niang's group had suffered. She couldn't forget the fear of her blade sticking to her face, or the twisted expression on her face when Wu Niang said that she would sell her to a brothel.
Forget about him, let's just be careful in the future. This Wu Niang, really has never seen someone as vicious as her, and when I think about it, I feel a chill run down my spine. Back then, our family even lived for a long time, but it just so happened that this kind of girl, your brother had to shoulder the responsibility for her death.
"If that tofu hyacinth comes knocking again, what should we do?"
Mian Niang asked.
"That's something to think about."
Madame Song Li muttered to herself: "With a vicious woman like Wu Niang around, it would be hard to deal with the matters in Mei Family. I'm afraid even the mother and son will not let this matter go."
"If I were to prove it to them, I would absolutely not go."
Mian Niang said.
"Of course I can't go. I just need to think of a way."
Mian Niang bit her lips as she looked at his mother, rolled her eyes and boldly suggested: "I actually have a plan, but I don't know if this mother will agree."
"What can you do? Tell me first."
With more external troubles, Madame Song Li could no longer avoid her daughter. Although she did not believe that Mian Niang could come up with any good ideas, she still wanted to hear it.
She had no choice but to sit at home and watch over the land in all four directions everyday. What she heard was limited, and it was even better than Mian Niang who went out to sell tofu everyday.
Even though she still disapproved of Mian Niang a lot in her heart.
Mian Niang raised the corner of her mouth, and smiled maliciously. Madame Song was stabbed by the smile, but before she could correct him, Mian Niang had already said: "The reason why they are doing this, is because of the words of the people, it is so that the Elementary Scholar has no face to see them. Since that is the case, let us let the rumors spread a little more, and cut off his retreat, and let him know, even if she finds us, it will be useless."
Mian Niang whispered her plan into Madame Song's ear.
Madame Song Li sucked in a deep breath. She never thought that she would actually think of such an idea.
"If so, won't your reputation be implicated as well?"
"Mother, do you think I have a good reputation?" Furthermore, no matter how bad my reputation is, it would still be there. If it wasn't for that Jiang Ting who helped me today, and if I hadn't really allowed Wu Niang to succeed in her attempt, my reputation would really not be able to recover at all. "
Speaking of Wu Niang, the mother and daughter couldn't help but be afraid. Madame Song Li's heart trembled, and could not help but be worried: "What if Wu Niang finds out that this was done by us?"
"We did it? In this world, there is no wall that doesn't leak out, you don't know how many rumors spread out from the mouths of their families, and the story of that maid's escape was spread everywhere, it was extremely vivid, and even the maid's thoughts were revealed, so how could such details be known by others? "
"Can this work?"
"Besides this, Mother, do we have any other ideas?"
Madame Song Li thought for a long time, and indeed, there were no good ideas, it was just that she could not make up her mind at the moment, so she let Mian Niang go back to work first before she considered anything.
When Song Zhien returned from school, he immediately saw Sis A's swollen face, and immediately pulled her over to ask her what was going on.
Mian Niang was worried that he would impulsively seek Wu Niang for revenge, so she gave her a perfunctory reply. Half believing and half suspecting her, Song Zhien went inside the house and grabbed her mother's hand to ask her what was going on.
Madame Song Li had long heard the conversation between him and Mian Niang, and told it to him according to Mian Niang's instructions, causing his suspicions to be dispelled.
Mian Niang heated up the steamed buns. When the dinner was served, four white-faced buns were stuck in a pot of golden cornbread seed. It was extremely eye-catching.
Mian Niang turned around and walked out. She was still eating by herself.
Madame Song Li gave Song Zhien a bun, telling him to send it over to him.
The little child only knew a little, and felt that it was a good thing for his mother to remember the Sis A. As he happily gave the bun to Mian Niang, Mian Niang looked at the bun in her hands, unavoidably thinking of the person who would use the bun as a fare, and could not help but shake her head, a faint doubt appearing on her face, but she still did not understand why that person would help him. She did not know if this was the legendary "unfairness in the road".
The time left for the mother and daughter was not much, and tofu hyacinth would come looking for them at any time. Madame Song tossed and turned for an entire night, and felt that there was indeed no better way, as she agreed to Mian Niang's suggestion.
He cruelly picked up dozens of copper coins and gave it to Mian Niang. After watching him walk out of the door, he then went to the door and exhorted: "Watch out, don't let your family block you this time, you won't always be lucky enough to encounter someone who can save you."
Not everyone was that Mr. Jiang. He had courage, strength, and good will.
Mian Niang looked at the figure of his mother leaning at the door, smiled and nodded, and gave her a guarantee, "Rest assured, I'll definitely be extra careful this time."
This time, Mian Niang didn't drive the carriage, but rode on her donkey to run to the city with the huge amount of money in her arms.
She had changed into a new set of clothes today, and even though she had combed her hair into a bun, it still covered her head. She was wearing her father's old cotton hat, which could be considered as a complete change in her appearance.
Mian Niang recalled, and imitated her father's actions, she hugged her arms and stuffed her hands into the sleeves of her cotton clothes, making it impossible to see her appearance, but in her heart, he felt that she truly looked like a man.
"You keep telling me that, this time, you're not allowed to hide it."
Even if she did not hold any hope anymore, Mian Niang would still feel wronged when Mother asked this question. In her mother's eyes, she seemed to be the same water flower like Wu Niang.
