To say that Song Sanniang's life was quite miserable.
Although the mother and son could not seek refuge with relatives, they at least had a place to stay in the capital and a means of making a living. Although Song's mother's health had been good and bad, she was finally stable and no longer in danger of her life.
If things can keep going at this pace, nothing will happen to Li Man'er.
As the saying goes: hemp ropes only break at the thinnest places, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.
Song Sanniang's younger brother did a good job as a laborer in Mihang, but somehow he offended the noble man. He was beaten and thrown into the back alley of Mihang, missing the best opportunity for treatment. He waited until others found out.
By the time he arrived, his body was already cold.
Mi Xing's people kept silent about this matter and refused to tell anyone who asked. Although Song Sanniang was given a sum of money, Mi Xing did not admit the matter of beating people to death at all, and no one was willing to testify for her.
When Song Sanniang said this, she burst into tears, "My brother was only nineteen years old, and he was beaten to death by evil people before he got married and had children. I couldn't hide this from my mother. After she found out, she cried for three days.
I also went there for three nights."
Green Yi was extremely angry, while Zi Yan had tears in her eyes.
"It's so annoying. How could such a thing happen?"
"Girl, Sanniang is so pitiful."
Li Man'er couldn't help but fell silent. In this world, there are always places where the sun doesn't shine. It's not a rare thing.
"and after?"
Song Sanniang wiped her tears, "I finally settled my mother and brother's funeral arrangements..." At this point, she couldn't help but sob softly, "I can't even afford two decent coffins, so I can only
They gave him a hasty burial."
"In order to stay in the capital, I have to look for money everywhere. Fortunately, I have cooking skills and can earn some money. Girl, I can't leave. I'm saving two lives. I need an explanation!"
Li Maner is deeply aware of the difficulties faced by the people at the bottom.
In all dynasties and generations, the lives of the people at the bottom are the most miserable. They struggle every day to have enough food and clothing. When they get sick, they have no money to treat. They have no cotton-padded clothes in winter and silk curtains in summer. It is also a problem for their children to study.
The poor are already struggling to survive, but there are some people who have no worries about food and clothing and are born into a noble family, but they still cling to these poor people...
Li Man'er took a deep breath and asked: "What happened next? Did you find anything?"
Song Sanniang was about to speak when she saw a dozen people suddenly swarming onto the street at the other end of the street and walking towards them.
"Get out of the way."
"Go away, get away."
These people were obviously the reinforcements brought in by the gangsters before. Song Sanniang was so anxious that she stamped her feet, "Girl, you'd better leave quickly!"
Li Man'er only said: "No defense."
Yao Liu was the slave whose eyes were swollen by Li Man'er's beating before. At this time, there was a distinct slap mark on his face. This slap was not given by anyone else, but by his immediate superior, Manager Song.
of.
Damn it, he gets angry when he talks about this, he was tricked by that bitch, Ni Niang, she is clearly taking advantage of him!
This time I want to show off my bad temper severely.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people came to the fish soup stall.
The leader was none other than Song Qing, the younger brother of the chief steward of the Duke of Rong's Palace and the second steward of the Princess's Palace.
"Manager Song, that's her." Yao Liu, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, pointed at Li Man'er, "You know the truth, if you dare to run away, we will search the entire imperial city to find you out."
Song Qing stared at Li Man'er's side face, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, "You..." He was about to make a declaration before taking action, but Li Man'er suddenly turned his head and looked at him with disdain.
.
When Song Qing saw Li Man'er, his eyes widened immediately. He knew this person. She was the eldest girl of the Tiedan Hou Mansion.
Li Man'er dared to kick someone and lift the table in front of the eldest princess; she dared to frighten the young prince who was looking for her with a sword so much that he dared not move. This person who can still talk to the Ninth Prince is still Princess Wuyou.
Guests...
Song Qing became angry and turned back to Yao Liu, "Is she the person you are talking about?"
"Yes, yes, it's her."
Song Qing was so angry that his head was smoking, so he turned around and gave Yao Liu another ear-scratcher.
At this moment, he was able to dumbfound the people watching the fun around him. Is this even causing internal strife?
Yao Liu was also confused. What was going on? Why was he beaten again?
Li Maner asked Song Qing, "Do you know me?"
Song Qing hurriedly said respectfully: "Miss Li, the young ones are too blind to recognize Mount Tai. They don't know that you are here, and they will offend you."
Yao Liu was dumbfounded, staring and howling, "Miss Li? Which Miss Li?"
Song Qing wished he could give him two more words to wake him up.
"Miss Li from Tiedanhou Mansion." These words seemed to be squeezed out from Song Bed's teeth.
Yao Liu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
It's not that he's afraid of Li Man'er, it's just that Aunt Li is still the nominal fiancée of their young master! The Queen Mother has also protected her several times. If the eldest son wants to have an attack, she doesn't dare to do it openly.
Able to use secret tricks secretly.
When Yao Liu thought about this, he wished he could give himself a few blows. Why did he offend this god with just such an inch?
"Well, it's not surprising if you don't know. Since the big girl wants to protect the person, the little guy doesn't dare to say anything." Song Qing waved his hand and immediately left with his men.
"Wait a minute!" Li Man'er's voice sounded lazily, "Did I tell you to leave?"
Song Qing's face turned dark and he could only turn around and ask Li Man'er what he wanted.
"This girl is running a stall by herself, and her life is difficult. It's not easy for you. You want to kidnap people into the house and sell them to your master as a cook. It's really an eye-opener!"
"Miss Li is careful, you can eat the fish soup as you like, but you can't talk nonsense." If she wants to throw dirty water on the Rongguo Duke's mansion and the eldest princess's mansion, it depends on whether she has the ability.
"Then I want to ask you, if your master didn't instruct you to do this, then who asked you to do this? You bastards, are you qualified to rob civilian girls? In this way, it's Rong
Duke, the eldest princess is not strict in her rule? Has she turned you into evil slaves in the fish and meat village?"
Li Maner's words were clearly heard by everyone watching the excitement around him, and Song Qing became sweaty.
"Big girl!" he shouted in the street, then narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Don't forget, you are still the young father-in-law's fiancée!"
Li Maner said nothing.
Song Qing thought she was finally giving in and waved everyone away.
As soon as I turned around, I heard a sound of piercing the air behind me, and the sound of exclamations from people around me was mixed in with it.
He suddenly turned around, only to find a bright kitchen knife flying towards him. He was so frightened that Song Bed immediately hid aside. The kitchen knife flew out close to his face and nailed the table next to him with a clang.
