The next day, the woman disguised herself and came to the ruined temple that the elder brother had mentioned early in the morning.
There is indeed a little girl here as he said...
The woman sighed and shook the girl who was still sleeping on the broken straw mat awake, "Hey, why are you sleeping here alone? Wake up, wake up quickly."
The girl saw someone coming and hid in the corner warily.
"Don't be afraid. I was passing by and saw you sleeping here alone. How old are you? What's your name? Where are your parents? Otherwise, I'll take you to report to the police."
She talked a lot by herself. When the girl saw that she didn't look like a criminal, she gradually let go of her worries.
"My name is Zhuzhu. My parents are dead and I have no one to rely on, so I sleep here."
This is actually the truth, she is not lying.
Seeing that she had taken the bait, the woman took the initiative and asked the girl if she wanted to follow her home, "My home is not far from here. Why don't you go to my house to wash your face and change clothes first? It's okay for you to be dirty." .”
Hearing what she said, Zhuzhu pulled off her clothes and smelled it, then immediately moved her nose away, "Okay..."
After following the woman home, Zhuzhu realized that her house was so big. It was a quiet and quaint courtyard outside the city. "Your house is really big."
But after all, she was also from the Princess Mansion, so she wasn't too surprised by the house. This made the woman a little suspicious. Logically speaking, shouldn't a child in such shabby clothes be shocked when he saw his house?
Everything went according to what the elder brother told her last night.
Inviting the girl into the front hall of the courtyard, the woman asked the only maid in the courtyard to prepare bath water for the girl, "You follow her, I will look for clothes that suit you."
But after rummaging through his suitcase for a long time, he still couldn't find anything suitable for this girl. After all... With my figure, looking at her, she was just a little girl who hadn't yet developed.
During lunch, Zhuzhu had just finished taking a shower and walked out in inappropriate clothes. She saw the man who had saved her yesterday making love to a woman in the yard.
While she was standing there in a daze, the woman saw her. The woman enthusiastically introduced the man next to her, "This is my husband-in-law, just call him Dalin."
My husband...the two of them...are already married? The girl stepped forward slightly cautiously, "Um..." She then showed the look that a little girl should have, "Um..." After twisting her clothes for a long time, she said: "Thank you for helping me rescue my brother yesterday. .”
"I thought you didn't remember me." The man laughed heartily, pretending to be like the fake wife beside him and explained: "Yesterday I saw her surrounded by a group of people, and I thought those people were human traffickers. They ran away."
"Oh!" the woman exclaimed, "So this is the girl you talked about yesterday, my husband. I came back from shopping for groceries today and saw her sleeping alone in a ruined temple. It was really pitiful, so I brought her back."
"Thank you both...you are such kind people."
Everything that happened here at this moment was seen by the people sent by Wen Yuan, but the secret guard had no intention of helping, even though he knew that the man and the woman had bad intentions.
After returning to the princess's house, the secret guard told Wen Yuan everything he saw, "You mean, these people went to all the trouble to put on a big show just for the money on her body?"
Wen Yuan really wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he still had to wait and see what happens. "I understand. Pay more attention to their movements. If anything happens, tell me immediately."
After a few days, the girl became familiar with the man and the woman, and she settled in the woman's house with peace of mind.
But she doesn't eat and drink for free. She occasionally takes out the earrings and pendants left by Qiuyue and gives them to women.
After hearing this, Wen Yuan really felt that Qiu Yue's death was not worth it. This girl had never been so kind to Qiu Yue.
"That girl has a lot of good things. Look at these Dongzhu earrings. Dongzhu earrings are something only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen should wear. How could she have such a valuable thing?"
The woman had a premonition that the girl's identity was unusual, and she began to retreat.
The man didn't want to hide it from her anymore, so he told the woman the news he had learned during this period, "She seems to have some relationship with Princess Xianyang... That is, her mother was heard to be a confidant of Princess Xianyang, but they broke up later. I left the princess mansion, so it’s not surprising to have these things.”
When she heard that the girl was related to Wen Yuan, the woman was even less willing to help them, "Why do you dare to offend Wen Yuan's people? What if you offend Wen Yuan? We ordinary people cannot afford to offend. "
"It is impossible to offend Wen Yuan, because she has already offended Wen Yuan. A few days ago, she went to Wen Yuan's princess mansion every day to make trouble, so Wen Yuan gave her a silver and gold ticket and sent her away."
A man's goal is always the money in a girl's hands, and he doesn't worry at all that he will offend Wen Yuan.
But the woman still felt that something was wrong... The next day, she used the excuse to go to the city to buy some rouge and gouache, and took the initiative to avoid the brothers who were testing men and found Wen Yuan.
She also didn't expect that Wen Yuan would actually meet her. As soon as they met, the woman handed back the gold and jade jewelry that Zhuzhu had given her to Wen Yuan, "Princess Xianyang... the daughter of the people came today to tell her something."
"You are talking about Zhuzhu, I know."
As soon as Wen Yuan said this, the sweat on the woman's head dropped to the ground. She just said, Wen Yuan is not that simple person. She must be observing everything secretly. I didn't expect that she would know about it. Fortunately, I During these days, he didn't do anything bad to Zhuzhu.
Wen Yuan ordered people to collect those things. Although she had given them to Qiuyue before, she felt that neither Zhuzhu nor the Hualou woman deserved such good things.
Only the pair of Dongzhu, the woman was reluctant to hand over, and her little thoughts were seen through by Wen Yuan. Wen Yuan changed the topic of Dongzhu and asked her: "Are all the things she gave you here?"
The woman was so nervous that she stammered, "Yes, they are all here."
Wen Yuan narrowed her eyes and smiled evilly, "I'm afraid not, what about Dongzhu's earrings?"
As soon as she heard the word Dongzhu, the woman immediately collapsed on the ground. She quickly touched her purse and handed over the pair of Dongzhu, "Princess is really... insightful..."
"It's not that I have insight into everything, but everything that happens in your house these days is under my nose. I sent people to follow Zhuzhu, but don't get me wrong, I just don't want my gold and silver to fall into the hands of someone with intentions. It’s just in your hand.”
She looked condescendingly at the woman lying on the ground, "Okay, you did a good job in this matter. Go back. If I want to hold you accountable in the future, I won't come to you. You go back and cooperate with them."
When Wen Yuan said this, the woman felt relieved. Since she would not be blamed, there was no need for her to be worried all day long.
After returning home, she looked at Zhuzhu having fun with Dalin, and felt that this girl was not as simple as she first thought.
In the evening, she told Dalin her thoughts, "I think we should stop here... That girl is not as simple as we thought. I really don't want to offend Princess Xianyang."
The man's expression changed instantly when he heard her words, "If you are really afraid, get out now. Anyway, we won't give you any of the gold and silver we got by then."
But the man's words played into the woman's heart, "You said this! Don't regret it!"
She pretended to be angry, put on her clothes and left. It was that night that the woman returned to the Flower House. Anyway, this house was not hers, and there was nothing worth cherishing.
I should have known better, men are all the same.
Without the woman in the house, only Dalin and Zhuzhu were left. Without the woman in the way, Zhuzhu was so happy. She kept pestering Dalin and calling him brother and brother all day long.
The two of them were sitting together playing chess that day. Suddenly a group of people broke into the yard with knives. "Well, Lin Dongyao, you are hiding in this barren mountain and you don't want to pay us back, right? Let me tell you, if you today If you don’t pay back the money, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Upon seeing this, Lin Dongyao protected Zhuzhu behind himself, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to several men, "Brother, please give me a few more days, I really don't have that much money to pay you back. Now, I promise ...I promise I will borrow the money and return it to you within three days, okay? Give me another three days, brothers."
This was the first time Zhuzhu saw him looking so down and out. She helped the man up from the ground and looked at the men in front of her, "What are you doing? How much money does Brother Dalin owe you?"
"You little thing, what's wrong with you? Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll take care of you too. Don't think I won't beat you because you're young!" The man threatened Zhuzhu with his gleaming sword.
But Zhuzhu was not the kind of person who would be frightened casually. She asked again, "How much money does Brother Dalin owe you?!"
"Heh." The man made a gesture.
Zhuzhu asked doubtfully: "One hundred taels?" She thought it was just a hundred taels. She thought it was just a hundred taels.
Just as he was about to take out his remaining jewelry and give it to them, the man unexpectedly yelled: "What one hundred taels?! It's a thousand taels! He even gave his own wife to our brother, don't tell me, then Girls are really tasty."
This group of people was actually manpower arranged by Lin Dongyao, with the purpose of defrauding Zhuzhu of his money.
Upon hearing the one thousand taels, Zhu Zhu's eyesight went dark. He walked up to Lin Dongyao and asked in a low voice: "Why do you owe so much money?"
The man regretted his mistake and said: "Oh, I'll tell you later. You go quickly and don't get involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with you."
When Zhuzhu saw that he was like this, he still protected himself. He was moved and immediately took out a five hundred tael silver note.
