Zhen Qingyin stopped laughing, her face darkened, and she suddenly threw away her hand, her voice filled with anger: "What do you mean, cousin? Why is she so weird? Is my cousin worried that I'm missing, or does she want to catch someone raping me and treat me like a thief?"
Meng Rulan's face was burning. It might as well be that her cousin had a weird temper as the old lady said. She would fall out whenever she wanted to, and she would not give her any face in front of outsiders and servants.
"My cousin has wronged me! I'm just worried that you're missing. Your maid refuses to tell you where you are. This is a nunnery where people come and go, so I'm afraid you'll be abducted by a kidnapper. You...I..."
Meng Rulan's tears flashed, she stamped her feet and ran in the direction where Zhen Qingyin appeared.
She wanted to go to the tearoom and see for herself.
Is my cousin hiding someone?
It should be too late to stop him now.
Aunt Rong also wanted to take a look, but what if this was the elder girl's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
She pushed the little maid: "Hurry up and chase your master! Don't just find this one and lose the other one!"
The little maid came from Fu Rong Hall and was chosen by the old lady to serve Meng Rulan because of her honest duty. However, she was clumsy and stupid. She didn't know what to do and was hesitant to say a few good words to her cousin. With a push, he immediately stopped hesitating, saluted Zhen Qingyin in a hurry, and ran after Meng Rulan.
There are a row of five tea rooms in the back hall of the Buddha statue.
Meng Rulan opened the doors one by one. When she met someone inside, she immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my cousin was lost. I came to find my cousin."
Of the five tea rooms, four were occupied, and only the one at the end was empty. Meng Rulan rushed in and saw only a cup of residual tea left on the tea table, and there was no cup in front of the seat opposite.
It shows that there is indeed only one person here just now.
Meng Rulan was not only glad that her cousin did not meet the prince alone, but also secretly annoyed that she had lost an opportunity to meet the prince.
Just as he was sighing in despair, he suddenly discovered that the futon was slightly dented.
Her eyes lit up, she knelt on the ground, bent over, and took a closer look.
She was right, the futon was indeed somewhat dented, indicating that someone was kneeling here!
Meng Rulan got up, pushed away the little maid she had found, and ran all the way to the back door. Panting, she opened the back door and saw people coming and going in the alley, and a carriage drove out at the end of the alley.
Prince!
The person in the carriage must be His Royal Highness!
Meng Rulan went crazy, lifted up her skirt and ran towards the carriage, but without thinking, she walked down the steps and ran into the arms of a man full of alcohol.
Drunkards often wandered around the back door of Shuilian Nunnery, and occasionally met young nuns, who would tease her a bit. Today, they bumped into a fairy-like girl, and when they were lustful, they hugged Meng Rulan, who was running rampant.
Meng Rulan was petrified, her face flushed with excitement turned pale, and her limbs struggled: "Let me go! Get away! Get away!"
The drunkard held her waist, with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms. He was distracted and lustful, and couldn't help kissing her fair face with his stinky mouth: "Girl, I fell in love with you at first sight. Marry me and be your mother-in-law." , I will only be kind to you in my whole life!"
The moment the pig's mouth kissed her face, Meng Rulan screamed and cried: "Help! Help!"
She watched desperately as the carriage drove into the street without any hesitation, merged with the traffic on the street, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Zhen Qingyin arrived, there was a circle of people watching the excitement. In the middle, a red-faced drunk man held Meng Rulan in his right hand and Meng Rulan's maid in his left hand. He kissed the left side and received a slap on the left side of the face. He kissed the right side and received a slap on the right side of the face.
Meng Rulan and the little maid, while crying for help, slapped the drunkard in the face, but because the drunkard was tall, neither of them could run away.
The onlookers burst out laughing.
Aunt Rong called her cousin and hurriedly pulled Meng Rulan.
Zhen Qingyin was so angry that she picked up a brick from the door that someone had put there, walked down the steps quickly, and kicked the drunk man hard on the knee.
The drunk man was unprepared and was dragged around again. He couldn't stand firmly and fell to his knees.
He cursed, turned around with a fierce look, and was about to get up and beat Zhen Qingyin with his fists, when Du Ruo snatched the brick from Zhen Qingyin's hand and slapped the drunken man on the shoulder with a brick.
The drunk man screamed, and half of his body lost strength.
Du Ruo held up the brick and pointed it at the drunk man's face, threatening fiercely: "Let go of the little pumpkin, or I'll smash your face!"
Aunt Rong dragged out Meng Rulan. Meng Rulan was crying in her arms, sobbing again and again, and she was too embarrassed to see anyone.
Meng Rulan's maid, Little Pumpkin, was still in the hands of the drunkard. Because the drunkard knelt down, she staggered and was pressed to the ground.
Zhen Qingyin was forced to stop her performance and unexpectedly looked at Du Ruo, who was protecting her behind her.
I didn't expect Du Ruo to have such courage, but when he looked down and saw her trembling legs, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't let me go, don't let me go, this is my mother-in-law! If you take away one, you must leave one for me!" The drunk man acted like a fool, clutching the little pumpkin tightly, and stretched his face towards Du Ruo, "If you can, smash it. Smash it, don’t dare to smash it, now you and the fairy behind you will become my wife..."
With a bang, Du Ruo smashed down the brick.
Instead of hitting him in the face, it hit him on the shoulder.
The drunkard screamed in pain, let go of Little Pumpkin, and came to catch Du Ruo again: "I can't cure this little girl!"
As soon as he became aggressive, Du Ruo started to feel frightened.
Zhen Qingyin laughed behind her and said: "Smash it, hit it hard. If you smash it, I will be responsible. If you can't kill it, it will be fine!"
Du Ruo gained confidence, his legs stopped shaking, and his hands stopped shaking. He grabbed the bricks tightly and hit the drunkard three times, hitting the same place every time.
The drunk man clutched his shoulders and begged for his life, lying on his side on the ground, crying until his nose was covered with tears...
The people watching applauded.
Zhen Qingyin raised her eyes and glanced around. The people clapping and applauding were all women. Slowly, men joined them.
Because of this episode, the group ended their trip to Shuilian Nunnery and hurried back home.
Meng Rulan cried all the way, her face buried in Aunt Rong's arms. As soon as she saw the old lady, she threw herself into the old lady's arms, hugged the old lady's waist, and cried loudly.
It was rare for the old lady to see a delicate and soft girl get so close to her. She felt very motherly and slammed the table hard: "Zhen Qingyin, why don't you kneel down and apologize to your cousin! Look what you did to her. You look indifferent and show no regrets at all. Have you disowned your family?"
Meng Rulan tugged on the old lady's sleeve and sobbed breathlessly: "Old...old lady, it has nothing to do with my cousin. My cousin did not bully me..."
The voice was timid and aggrieved.
It was as if Zhen Qingyin had threatened her.
Zhen Qingyin rubbed her forehead and sat calmly on the chair.
The old lady was furious: "Zhen Qingyin, how dare you be so arrogant. Your cousin said good things for you, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to her!"
