Luo Yao looked at the people watching and asked, "Who can help me carry this old man to the shade of the tree over there?"
"I come."
Two strong men walked out from the crowd and carried the old man to the shade of a tree.
Luo Yao and others also followed and came to the shade of the tree.
Seeing that everyone was about to surround him, she immediately stopped him, "He needs to cool down now, so don't come around anymore. Who else has water on him? Give me some water."
"I have."
"I have it too."
Luo Yao got a few water bags and took a closer look at the onlookers. They were unreasonable and unreasonable, but they were not completely inhumane.
She returned to the old man with a water bag, poured out some water and sprinkled it on the old man's body, all the while taking measures to cool down the old man.
After a while, the old man slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you awake? Drink some water first!" She handed the water bag to the old man's mouth and fed him some water.
The old man looked around weakly, and finally set his sights on Luo Yao, asking: "I...what's wrong?"
"You just fainted in front of us, do you remember?"
The old man thought about it carefully and said with gratitude: "Did you save me?"
"Um."
"Then now I..."
Seeing that the old man was about to get up, Luo Yao immediately held him down and said, "You have just woken up from heatstroke. Please rest for a while before getting up."
"good."
After giving instructions to the old man, she turned back to look at the man just now and found that the man was about to run away. She dragged him to the old man.
"Why are you running? Your father is awake, why don't you come and see your father?"
"I, I..." The man lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone at the scene.
Luo Yao saw at a glance that there was something wrong with the man, pointed at him and asked the old man, "Old man, this man says he is your son, do you recognize him?"
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the man. Even though the man lowered his head, he could tell at a glance that he did not recognize him.
"I don't recognize him."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was completely silent. The onlookers were a little embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Luo Yao.
"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be the old man's son?" Luo Yao asked, raising her voice.
"I……"
The man hesitated and couldn't answer for a long time.
Luo Yao snorted coldly: "You have no intention of pretending to be someone else's son in broad daylight. I will take you to see the officials right now. You can slowly explain to the officials!"
Hearing this, the man quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Girl, please let me go!"
"If this old man hadn't woken up and restored my innocence, I would have been blackmailed by you today."
"I, I just want to take the opportunity to ask you to pay some money. I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, girl. I will never dare to do it again in the future." The man cried sadly and kept pleading with Luo Yao.
Luo Yao grabbed his collar and refused to let go, "I see that you are very familiar with the road, and you may have harmed many innocent people. I will not let you go today. Let's go! Follow me to see the official."
"Girl, spare your life."
Luo Yao ignored him and looked at the crowd again, "Whoever has a rope, please lend it to me."
Someone handed her a rope, and she tied the man with the rope, handed it to Xiangxue to take care of, and returned to the old man again.
"Old man, how do you feel now?"
"I'm feeling better, thank you."
"Where is your home? Shall I take you back?"
"I……"
Before the old man finished speaking, he heard an anxious voice coming from behind the crowd.
"Mr. Chu, I finally found you."
The person wearing a black guard uniform came quickly to the old man, "Mr. Chu, what are you..."
Chu Zhiliang smiled and waved his hands, "I'm fine, this girl saved me."
The guard looked at Luo Yao gratefully, bowed and thanked him, "Thank you very much, miss, for saving my old gentleman."
"It's just a little effort."
"The old gentleman has heatstroke. Take him to a medicine shop to get a prescription to relieve the heat. He can drink it for a few days and he will be fine," Luo Yao instructed.
"Here you go, girl."
Luo Yao looked at Chu Zhiliang, "Old sir, next time it's hot, you can't go out alone. Go home quickly! I'll send this liar to the government office first."
Chu Zhiliang motioned to the guards to help him up and came to Luo Yao with a smile, "I don't know what the girl's name is yet."
"My name is Luo Yao, goodbye."
After waving to Chu Zhiliang, Luo Yao and Xiangxue took the man to the government office.
Luo Yao handed the man over to the government office, only to find out that this man was a wanted robbery suspect with a reward from the government. He handed the man over to the government office and received a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
After walking out of the government office with the silver reward, Luo Yao felt elated.
I didn’t expect that the first pot of gold coming here was earned like this.
As she walked forward, she happily said to Xiangxue: "Take the money and buy some delicious food. Finally, our hardships are finally over."
"Miss, I randomly captured a person and sent him to the government. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a wanted criminal with a reward on his head. You are really amazing."
She raised her chin and said, "Follow me from now on. I'll make sure you enjoy the spicy food."
"Thank you, miss." Xiangxue smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth.
With the money, the two rented a carriage and bought some things back home.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the abandoned courtyard. They got out of the carriage and walked forward. When they got to the door, they found that the door had been locked with a big lock.
Xiangxue pointed to the big lock on the door, "Miss, this..."
It must be Xiao Yan who did it!
He really went to great lengths to put her under house arrest in the abandoned hospital.
"Walk!"
After saying this, Luo Yao walked straight towards the gate of Prince Li's Mansion, and Xiangxue immediately followed.
Entering Prince Li's Mansion, he happened to meet Liu Yinyin while passing by the lotus pond.
What a bitter enemy!
She pretended not to see Liu Yinyin, turned around and walked forward.
"The princess is back." Sharp-eyed Liu Yinyin noticed Xiangxue's beaten face and deliberately pretended to be concerned, "Didn't the princess return to the Prime Minister's Mansion? What happened to Xiangxue's face?"
"Miss Liu is thinking about me, I'm fine," Xiangxue said.
Liu Yinyin was not going to let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury, so she walked up to Luo Yao and said, "Go back to your parents' house properly, why did it end up like this? Is the princess okay?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
After finishing her words, she turned back to Xiangxue and said, "Let's go!"
"yes."
Liu Yinyin stood there, watching the master and servant Luo Yao pass by her. When she saw the small wooden box Xiangxue held in her arms, she snatched it away without even thinking.
"What is this?"
Xiangxue stopped and said hurriedly: "This is something left by my eldest lady. Please return it to this slave, Miss Liu."
Liu Yinyin not only refused to return it, but deliberately raised the wooden box above her head.
"It's just a small broken box, what's so rare about it?"
Luo Yao returned to her with a gloomy face, "Give me back the things."
"Why are you so stingy, Princess? I just took a look and I won't want you." Liu Yinyin still held up the wooden box, but all her movements were provoking Luo Yao.
"I say it again, give me the things back!" Luo Yao clenched her fists, her patience reaching the limit.
"Princess, don't be angry, I will return it to you right now."
Liu Yinyin glanced at the lotus pond diagonally behind her with her peripheral vision, and deliberately threw the wooden box towards the lotus pond. Watching the wooden box fall into the lotus pond, she apologized to Luo Yao with an innocent look on her face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Luo Yao's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye...
