Yan Mingzhu smiled and said: "Auntie, in fact, the spots on my face are not birthmarks, but poisonous spots caused by poisoning. I am detoxifying recently, and it seems that the effect is good. I think it won't be long before these poisonous spots will appear.
It will be completely eliminated.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yuan Da was pleasantly surprised, "Really? This is really great. I know that God cannot always keep an eye on one person. Good people will eventually be rewarded.
We, Zhuzhu, have endured so much hardship before, and we will definitely be rewarded with all the hardships in the future! Such good news must be told to my mother, so that she can be very happy!"
Anyway, the birthmark on her face will be removed sooner or later, and everyone can see it, so it doesn't matter if she tells anyone in advance.
Early the next morning, Yan Mingzhu went out after breakfast.
She first went to Baekje Hall and visited the free clinic. After the discount notice was posted, the business of the drug store improved a lot.
Just by buying more medicines, you can get different levels of discounts. The same medicinal materials can be much cheaper at Baekje Hall, which is enough to attract ordinary people who live in a tight life.
After confirming that Baekje Hall's business was stable, Yan Mingzhu planned to go to the pawn shop first and then to Ming Yuexuan.
As soon as I walked to the door of a pawn shop, I noticed a lot of people gathered in front of me. When I got closer, I saw a young woman selling her body to bury her father.
As the saying goes, the wine and meat in the Zhumen stink, and the roads freeze to death. Scenes like this can be seen occasionally in the most prosperous imperial capital of Dazhao.
And the reason why there was quite a commotion was because there was a young man who was teasing this plain-clothed girl who had sold her body to bury her father.
"Sell yourself to bury your father for ten taels of silver, right? I will give you twenty taels and a coffin for your father, and you, my dear wife, will belong to me!"
The attendant beside the young master threw twenty taels of silver on the ground. The young master took it as a matter of course and grabbed the girl in plain clothes by her wrist, pulled her up and forced her into his arms.
The girl in plain clothes struggled hard, "Young Master, please respect yourself. This little girl will not sell her body. The Young Master has given the money to collect the body of my father. The little girl is willing to be a slave for the Young Master..."
The young master just laughed and said, "My house is full of slaves and maids. Do you need to spend more money to buy a slave? But there is one less girl to warm the bed in my house."
Your beautiful little face is very popular with me, so I will reluctantly give you this opportunity to serve me well!"
The girl in plain clothes still wanted to struggle, but with her thin arms and legs, she couldn't get away. She could only ask for help from passers-by.
But the onlookers saw that the young master was dressed in an extraordinary way. They were afraid that he was the young master of a noble family, and he was not something ordinary people like them could easily mess with.
Although I thought this young man was quite shameless, he only dared to watch and no one came to rescue him.
Yan Mingzhu moved her fingers slightly, and was about to take action when suddenly a gust of wind came, and a horse whip whipped the young man's neck like a poisonous snake with lightning speed.
When the young master didn't react at all, he was pulled backwards, and the young master was dragged to the ground in a panic.
At the same time, he was also wrapped around his neck and dragged back several meters!
Immediately afterwards, a wanton and flamboyant voice sounded: "Don't urinate and take good care of yourself. It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat. A beautiful girl can't look down on your pig-headed face!"
The attendant was shocked and hurried to rescue his young master, "Sir! You... where did you come from? You are so brave. You dare to touch my young master. Do you know who my young master is? My young master is Zongzheng Shaoqing Master Zhu.
His only son!"
Yan Mingzhu looked up at the place where the figure came from. What came into view was a black horse, and on the horse's back sat a young man wearing a navy blue brocade suit. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and a pair of clear and flamboyant eyes. The space between his eyebrows made Yan Mingzhu feel extremely familiar.
The young man on the high horse sneered coldly: "I don't care whether you are a pig or a dog. If you dare to bully men and dominate women under the emperor's feet, even if the king of heaven comes, I will still beat you!"
With that said, the young man pulled the riding crop in his hand, dragged the young master forward on the ground, and said loudly: "Give you a chance to kowtow to this girl and admit your mistake, otherwise I will drag you around the entire imperial capital like this!"
The young master was strangled to the point of dying, but he still had the strength to be arrogant and begged for mercy again and again, saying that he would definitely do as he was told.
The young man loosened his riding crop and signaled the young master with his eyes to kowtow quickly.
Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly turned around, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed the horse straight into the belly!
"Go to hell!"
The boy's reaction speed was also very fast. He tightened the reins and tried to avoid it, but he was still a little slow and the dagger pierced the horse's belly.
The horse was frightened, its hooves were raised high, and even the young man was about to be thrown off the horse!
But at the critical moment, Yan Mingzhu tapped her toes, and in the blink of an eye, she jumped up and kicked the young man right in the stomach, kicking him dozens of meters away!
It hit a roadside stall and fell to the ground with a crash.
At the same time, Yan Mingzhu stretched out his hand to pull the reins, put his toes on the ground, and controlled the horse's head by just relying on his own strength.
The young man lowered his head in astonishment and met a pair of clear and calm eyes.
Then, he saw this girl who suddenly came out and took control of the situation in an instant. She smiled at him and said, "It's okay."
Her voice had a calmness that was inexplicably calming, making the young man feel suddenly at home.
After stabilizing the horse, the young man simply turned over and dismounted, raised his hands towards Yan Mingzhu and said, "Young lady is very skilled. I just wanted to thank you for your help. I wonder what your name is?"
Before Yan Mingzhu could speak, the young man slapped his forehead and smiled heartily, "Look at me, how can you directly ask the girl's family name? I first reported my family name, and I am Ming..."
Before he finished speaking, a rather familiar and cheerful voice came from behind: "Second brother!"
From a distance, I saw a petite figure running towards this direction quickly.
Take a closer look, isn't it Mingyu?
The little girl took a breath and patted the young man's arm angrily, "Second brother, didn't I just take a fancy to a pair of earrings and asked you to pay for them? Do you need to run so fast?"
Yan Mingzhu realized it belatedly. No wonder she felt that his face was particularly familiar when she saw this young man for the first time.
It turns out that he is the second son of her brother Mingtai, Ming Zizhan, her second nephew!
It’s no wonder that Yan Mingzhu couldn’t recognize her for a moment. Women are said to undergo major changes, and men are no exception.
What's more, the year she died in her previous life, Ming Zizhan had just been born and was still an infant.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, he turned out to be a handsome and chivalrous young man.
Ming Zizhan scratched his head, "I'm not out to do justice. By the way, Ayu, let me introduce to you, this girl just..."
