The farmer looked at the two skinny girls. Their bodies seemed like they could break their waists with just a single effort.
What's more, as a stranger, it's hard for him to step forward rashly. Who knows if Song Si Cheng really wants to help him? What if he is an enemy who comes to inquire for information?
Unfortunately, the farmer guessed correctly that the two of them had indeed come here for the bit of information he said.
It's just that Bai Wanrou has obviously used a clever trick to break his psychological defense.
"Yes, is it possible that you are also suffering from the same problem as the two of us?"
Hearing this, the farmer felt like meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and almost shook hands with them with tears in his eyes.
"Of course yes!"
"Looking at you two little girls, I really can't believe that such a tragic experience would happen."
When Bai Wanrou first heard this, she thought she was testing them, but she didn't know that this farmer had a simple mind and was already not wary of them.
She squeezed Song Yinhua's arm, and the latter quickly understood and responded with a sigh of relief: "Uncle, don't look at us. Although we are skinny, it is all because of the oppression we have received in daily life."
The farmer was really interested when he heard this, or he was very sympathetic to them, so he quickly asked: "How can we start talking about this?"
Song Yinhua sighed and looked at Bai Wanrou. She only gave Song Yinhua a look, meaning to let her express herself freely.
"Uncle, you don't know that my mother is just looking forward to giving birth to a son. After finally having a brother, she doesn't care about my sister or me anymore. All the hard work at home is done by us.
If it weren't for the negligence after this time, my sister...she wouldn't...oh!"
At the end of the story, she burst into tears as if someone had stabbed her in a sore spot. The farmers behind her looked distressed, but they couldn't help but come forward to comfort her.
Bai Wanrou could only express a few words of condolences, but she wiped away tears and patted Song Yinhua on the back, while still shaking her head and performing her own performance.
"Then you, little girl...?"
"Actually, the two of us are in similar situations. If we hadn't happened to meet each other at the door of this house just now, we probably wouldn't have had the courage to come in together to seek justice."
She looked young, but she did look sad, which quickly convinced the unprepared farmer.
Song Yinhua and Bai Wanrou made their images miserable enough, and the farmer seemed to have forgotten what happened to him.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou knew that she had overacted, so she coughed heavily, looked at Song Yinhua, and then asked, pretending not to be, "Uncle, are you in the same situation as us?"
In the atmosphere nurtured by the two of them, the farmers probably didn't find this question so surprising.
He waved his hands, looking a little carefree, but his eyes were full of desolation.
"There's no way I could do such a bastard thing!"
"I hold a precious daughter in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting. It's a pity... She has a bad life, but she is favored by a landlord!"
Mentioning that person, the farmer spoke with gritted teeth, but Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua looked confused.
Aren't normal people happy when they are favored by a landlord?
She was afraid that she would rub salt into the farmers' wounds, so she could only ask casually: "Landlord?"
Bai Wanrou didn't ask any more questions. She knew that the farmer would continue to follow her questions.
Sure enough, his eyes were stern for a moment, and his expression turned ferocious at that moment.
"Yes! It's clear that my daughter didn't want to be his concubine, and she refused again and again, but he just kept insisting... In the end, my daughter... never came back."
"Then how did you know that person was the prince?"
Hearing this, the farmers' eyes widened immediately, as if they were in disbelief at the question they raised.
Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua were also worried, fearing that they would be exposed.
However, he quickly returned to normal, waved his hand, and seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.
"This is also thanks to my daughter's lover. He vaguely saw the shadows of two people at that time. Out of curiosity, he stepped forward to check and found my daughter's body near the prince's villa."
"In fact, he already wanted to sue at that time, but unfortunately he was warned and reportedly held a knife to his neck. He had no choice but to compromise."
Bai Wanrou frowned. Can you tell that the person is the prince just from this?
She felt a little hasty, what if this was just a trap set by others?
She glanced at the farmer and saw that he looked normal and didn't seem too sad, so she dared to continue asking.
"So the lover told you that the prince killed your daughter?"
"Yeah...no, I remember he also said that someone called him "Prince" at that time. Oh, that's right, it was the subordinate who threatened him!"
Bai Wanrou and Song Yinhua looked at each other. If this was the case, they really couldn't find anything wrong with them.
It seems that this matter was really the prince's doing.
Then the farmer babbled a few more words, but Bai Wanrou didn't listen carefully, only taking a rough look.
Song Yinhua kept chatting with him and got a lot of information.
At that time, she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her from behind. She looked back, but she only saw an empty yard.
What she didn't know was that Lin Yi, who was hiding in the tree, moved his body to the side the moment she looked over.
"If his description wasn't too real, I wouldn't believe it."
"Real? Uncle, you are just joking, how can you say it is true?"
When Bai Wanrou heard what he said, she couldn't help but interrupt. Then she saw Song Yinhua raising her eyes and looking over, as if she was surprised that she was actually listening.
She curled her lips and smiled, but the smile at the corner of her mouth froze on her face the next moment.
"He said that the man holding the knife had calluses on his hands, and the feeling was very obvious when it passed over his face, and his voice was also a little deep, like... an older middle-aged man!"
Bai Wanrou felt that all the blood in her body had stopped flowing.
She couldn't hear what he said after that, nor did she see the secret code Song Yinhua passed to her.
There are calluses on his hands, he is middle-aged, and he follows the prince again.
These three conditions were enough to make her doubt...but, it was impossible!
Although my father had many calluses from practicing martial arts all year round and holding a sword in his hand, but...how could he do such a thing?!
Thinking of the worst possibility, Bai Wanrou felt that she couldn't bear it for a moment.
No, it must not be the father. He would never murder a woman from a good family just for the prince's order.
Then Song Yinhua said a few more words, and the three of them gradually chatted until it became dark. The farmer didn't know that they were supposed to be in the same yard, so he waved to the two of them and went to the room.
"What's the matter with you? You've been absentminded since just now, and you look a little depressed?"
Bai Wanrou shook her head and said nothing, which made Song Yinhua anxious and confused.
"What happened? What aroused you?"
She sniffed and rubbed the back of her hands unconsciously. The night wind was slightly cool, and it still chilled her thin body.
Bai Wanrou wiped away the tears that were falling from the corners of her eyes and asked Song Yinhua a question.
"Do you think my father looks like a bad guy?"
Song Yinhua frowned, her question was a bit confusing.
"It's not like that. Your father is so kind to you on weekdays, and he is just as fair and strict as my father. He doesn't look like a bad person in any way."
Bai Wanrou felt even more sad after hearing this.
She continued to stare at Song Yinhua and said, "What if, I mean hypothetically, my father did something very bad, what would you think?"
She frowned, then curled her lips and smiled, "I understand, were you influenced by that uncle just now?"
"Okay, don't worry, your father won't do bad things."
Song Yinhua took her to the street.
The two of them had not yet taken off their clothes and looked like two ordinary folk girls.
Now you don’t have to worry about meeting people you know in the market.
"Here, weren't you a little unhappy just now? Come on, have some roasted chestnuts and everything will be fine."
Song Yinhua handed the hot roasted chestnuts she just bought to Bai Wanrou.
Before she even took a bite, she could already smell the sweet smell of chestnuts on the tip of her nose.
"Yin'er, you are so kind to me, how can I repay you in the future?"
Bai Wanrou seemed to be in a much better mood. Now facing Song Yinhua's comfort, she was obviously a little moved.
It's a pity that the latter did not cherish this opportunity. Instead, he smiled wantonly and said:
"There is no need to repay you. If you really want to repay your kindness, just marry me when I become your king."
Bai Wanrou knew that she was deliberately teasing her, so she also laughed, but she still thought of Chen Ruzhi uncontrollably.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be so attentive, and would still remember that he loves to eat roasted chestnuts from the street market...
After thinking about the sarcastic remarks he had made to her, Bai Wanrou couldn't help but laugh at herself.
Not to mention this portion of roasted chestnuts with sugar, he probably wished he could give his life to others!
It's a pity that I didn't know people well at the time and married the person who loved me the least. It's useless to regret it now.
"Xiaorou, just send it here. I'll go back first."
Bai Wanrou sent Song Yinhua back to her house. She was still holding the clothes she had just taken off. These belonged to others and would be returned together with hers later.
She returned the items she used to disguise herself and went over to meet Qingtang.
She had made an appointment with Qingtang to meet in this alley because she was afraid that something unexpected would happen. If she couldn't go back then, she would be in big trouble.
"Miss Wang, here!"
Qingtang was used to calling her Princess, but before leaving the house today, Bai Wanrou specifically emphasized to her that she should not be called Princess, so she quickly changed her tune.
"Miss, why do you look a little unhappy?"
"Huh? Is it so obvious?"
Bai Wanrou twisted a piece of chestnut and put it in her mouth. She was indeed still thinking about her father.
But she didn't expect that someone would notice it, and Qingtang was always the most carefree person.
Could it be that my superficial skills are so bad? This chapter has been completed!
