Lu Hanxiao saw Si Ning stopped and stood aside.
Due to lack of hand strength, the young man's action of pulling the bow was a little slow.
People around him were still trying to persuade him to give up, but the little boy insisted on doing so.
The bow was fully drawn and aimed at the bull's-eye. The arrow flew out, but missed the target at the last moment.
The young man was stunned for a moment, the hand holding the bow and arrow trembling slightly.
Si Ning saw the tears in his eyes from the side. He put down the bow in his hand and asked stubbornly.
"Can I take it on credit and pay you back if you shoot me?"
The shopkeeper's original smile suddenly dropped after hearing this.
He snatched the bow from the young man's hand and drove him away impatiently.
"Go, go, go, where is this beggar from? Get away, don't delay my business."
The young man did not move, his face full of pleading.
"Please, my sister is sick and is waiting for this money to treat her illness. Please help me."
The young man still had a stubborn look on his face, and he raised his head and straightened his back.
The shopkeeper had already raised his bow high and was about to hit the young man, but was stopped by someone.
Si Ning blocked the attack for the young man and scolded him with a cold face.
"He is just a child. How could you do such a heavy hand?"
The shopkeeper looked at Si Ning up and down, and when he saw that she was wearing ordinary clothes, he snorted disdainfully.
"My child, my child can be a rogue. If he loses, he loses, and he still allows me to pay on credit. Bah, is this a business run by his family? He can do whatever he wants?"
He cursed and put the bow aside, and when he was about to shout, Si Ning threw ten cents on the table.
"I'm here to play too."
The shopkeeper stopped and looked at Si Ning with interest.
"You want to play too?"
"Um."
Si Ning took the bow on the table, drew it fully with ease, and aimed at the bull's-eye.
The moment he let go, the arrow shot toward the bullseye, and then the arrow fell to the ground and a tragic wail sounded at the same time.
Only then did everyone notice that there was someone hiding behind the target.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper returned the ten cents to Si Ning in a panic.
"Miss, what are you doing..."
Si Ning said nothing and gave the boy ten coins.
"How can you win money from this deceptive trick?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper went to close the stall with a guilty conscience, and the onlookers dispersed after a few comments.
Si Ning took out another ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to the young man.
"Take it back and give it to your sister for medical treatment."
The young man looked at the silver in his hand and was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Si Ning was nowhere to be seen.
"I didn't realize that you have a kind heart."
Lu Hanxiao followed Si Ning and said calmly.
Si Ning smiled and said, "Everyone has difficulties. If you do something good, you should be able to accumulate virtue for yourself in the future."
The words of the host at Fuyuan Temple that day are still fresh in my mind.
In the past, Si Ning did not believe in these myths about ghosts and monsters. It was not until she came here after her death that she felt that maybe there really were so-called gods in this world, and that practicing good deeds might bring some blessings to herself.
Lu Hanxiao frowned when he heard her words, but didn't say anything.
No one took this incident seriously, just treating it as a trivial matter, but they didn't know that it would involve so many things in the future.
Of course, this is all for later.
The two of them walked around again until it was completely dark before returning to the house.
After a day of tossing, Si Ning fell into a deep sleep as soon as it touched the pillow.
Lu Hanxiao stared at her sleeping face, finally sighed silently, got up and went to the study.
Ming Han was waiting on the pen and ink, listening to Lu Hanxiao's instructions.
"Go and tell them that tomorrow morning I will see Shen Ranhao's booklet in the morning, not one less."
The next day.
Lu Hanxiao, who had not been in court for a long time, appeared in the morning court for the first time.
When everyone saw him, they were surprised and came to him one after another to please him.
You must know that before Lu Hanxiao was injured, although he did not return to the capital often, his prestige was not comparable to others.
There were more people supporting him in the court than even several princes.
This is why the emperor wants to win over him but is also afraid of him.
When he went to court, he saw that Lu Hanxiao was there, and the emperor also asked a few questions about his health with great concern.
Lu Hanxiao stepped forward and replied, "It's okay for me to return to the emperor. I have something to report to the emperor when I go to court today."
The emperor stared at him, "Oh, what's the matter? Come and listen to your love."
Lu Hanxiao, "Yesterday, there was a banquet at Mr. Wang's house, and my wife also went there, but she was almost wronged. She stayed up all night after coming back, woke up several times during the night, and fell ill today. I can't sleep or eat well when I see you." As her husband, I can't protect her, so I am extremely anxious, so I can only come and ask the emperor to make the decision for my wife and give her justice."
"Ai Qing truly cares for this lady. It seems that I have not chosen the wrong person for you."
"Because he is the person chosen by the emperor, I cherish him very much, and I am afraid that the emperor's hard work will be wasted, but now..."
Mr. Wang also stood up, "I'm scared. It was all my fault yesterday. My wife wanted to have some fun with a few acquaintances to celebrate her birthday. I don't want to cause such a catastrophe, so I ask the emperor to punish me."
The emperor asked impatiently after listening to the vague words of the two people below.
"Okay, let's tell you what happened."
It is naturally up to Mr. Wang to talk about this matter.
He trembled and told what happened from beginning to end.
However, he cleverly did not say who was right or wrong, nor did he make Han Liangan's favoritism too straightforward. He only let the emperor guess what role everyone played in this matter.
After he finished speaking, he knelt directly on the ground, looking distressed.
"Thankfully I didn't make a big mistake in the end. The Shen family's nephew left late, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
He brought the topic to the Shen family, and other ministers took the opportunity to stand up and read a book about the Shen family.
"This nephew of the Shen family used the name of the Shen family to show off in the world and even robbed good women on the street. Fortunately, what happened yesterday did not lead to a big disaster. If it did, the Lu family's daughter is so young. , how should I deal with myself in the future, do I have to marry that scourge?"
"That is, in order not to blame them, Mrs. Shen also lied that the Shen family had severed ties with her. However, based on my understanding, the Shen family not only did not interfere with the matter, but also helped the evildoers. This made Shen Lang Duo Arrogant, the Emperor must investigate this matter."
"This matter must be investigated!"
Nearly half of the ministers stood up and read Shen Ranhao's book.
Han Liangan was anxious when he saw Qian, but he also knew that he couldn't stand up hastily at this time, otherwise he would be implicated.
Now we can only see how Shen Ranhao can reverse the current situation.
At this point, it was no longer possible to deal with matters in the inner house.
The emperor asked Shen Ranhao with a dark face.
"Shen Ranhao, what do you say about this matter?"
