Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 27 In the next life, Lady Jade will repay you by being a cow or a horse.

The middle-aged man smelled of alcohol and his eyes were wandering, as if he was drunk. There were a few dry steamed buns in the bowl in front of him.

This refugee center sounds nice to be housing refugees, but in fact, people in the capital call it a beggar's den.

The further you go in, the dirtier and smellier it becomes.

The refugees in ragged clothes had not taken a shower for many days, and their hair was all knotted. It was summer again, and flies were flying everywhere.

They devoured the steamed buns and porridge they had received, but no one dared to touch the steamed buns in the middle-aged man's bowl.

Murong Jiu's arrival was incompatible with this place, and suddenly a dirty little hand stretched out and grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly.

"Sister, sister, are you a doctor? My mother is sick, can you save her?"

She lowered her head and met a pair of big dark eyes and a dirty little face.

This is a little girl of four or five years old. She is skinny and skinny. The clothes on her body are all patched, but the stitches are very dense. It can be seen that the person sewing the clothes is very careful.

She changed her original direction, squatted down, gently touched the little girl's dry hair, and asked, "Where is your mother?"

"inside!"

The little girl reached into the house and pointed, and Murong Jiu saw a dying woman lying on the ground among the refugees.

She frowned and strode over.

"Miss!"

Chuntao hurriedly followed, fearing that the refugees inside would bump into the young lady.

But no one dared to come up. Just now when the two guards around Murong Jiu drew their swords, everyone saw it.

The woman lying on the ground is not very old, and she has a certain appearance, but now she is more pale and sickly, and is so thin that she seems to be easily broken.

Murong Jiu took her hand and felt her pulse, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

This woman is already on her deathbed.

She had been sick for too long, her weak body was exhausted, and there was no cure.

But she really couldn't bear to tell the little girl this fact.

At this time, the woman opened her eyes. She didn't know where she got the strength to hold Murong Jiu's hand tightly.

"Take my daughter out of here, please. In the next life, Lady Jade will definitely work hard to repay you!"

The little girl hugged Yu Niang with tears in her eyes: "Mother! I don't want to leave, I want to be with my mother!"

"Xiao Wen, be obedient. My mother will turn into a star in the sky and protect you forever. Whenever you miss your mother, just look up at the sky. The brightest star is your mother."

The little girl didn't understand the difference between life and death, so she asked innocently: "Really? Will my mother really become a star?"

Chuntao's eyes turned red as she watched.

Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi also looked moved and felt uncomfortable.

An old woman on the side sighed:
"Oh, what a sin. Miss, please take Xiaowen in. If you don't take her away, those gangsters will come back and send her to a place like Chunhongyuan. Yuniang is the most worried. The only one is Xiaowen."

Murong Jiu frowned. It seemed that she had made a wrong decision by not letting the guards beat those gangsters. She even spared such a young child.

"Miss, Yuniang kneels down for you. Please, just give Xiaowen a mouthful of food. She will do anything and will not cause trouble for you."

Yu Niang used her last strength to kneel down.

Murong Jiu quickly helped her lie down: "I promise you, my name is Murong Jiu, and now I am Princess Ling. I have the ability to protect her from harm. Please rest assured."

She looked at Xiaowen and thought of her own children, and how she could bear to see her living alone in this refugee camp.

Princess Ling!
It was the princess!

Everyone present was shocked. No one could have imagined that such a high-ranking princess would come to such a dirty and smelly place.

Although Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi guessed that her identity was extraordinary, they did not expect that she would be a princess.Yu Niang burst into tears and hugged her child tightly. After a long time, she took out half a broken jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Murong Jiu.

"This is Xiaowen's father's belongings. Princess, if there is a chance, Yuniang would like to ask you to return it to him."

As soon as Murong Jiu received half of the jade pendant, he felt strange.

The jade material of this jade pendant is so good, but it's just cracked, so it doesn't look valuable, so she can stay in a place like this forever, otherwise it would have been snatched away long ago.

The jade material is imperial green, and the patterns engraved on it are somewhat unclear. Perhaps only those who are familiar with the complete jade pendant can recognize it.

Yuniang didn't look like someone who had been rich and powerful. She had calluses on all her fingers. She should have been doing rough work since she was a child, and her status was ordinary.

But Xiaowen's father is either rich or noble.

And Yu Niang just said that, she just returned the jade pendant, but didn't ask Xiao Wen to follow her father.

There may be too many grievances between the two of them.

Murong Jiu had no intention of exploring other people's privacy, so she solemnly put the jade pendant away and promised to take good care of Xiaowen.

Yu Niang took her last breath of relief, looked at Xiao Wen reluctantly, lowered her hands, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Mother!"

Xiaowen yelled and shook his mother's shoulders, but how could she wake up after she was dead?

Chuntao secretly wiped away tears.

People around you may be indifferent or sad.

"Your mother has become a star, Xiaowen, don't cry, your mother has found another way to protect you. When the rain stops in a few days, can I watch the stars with you?"

Xiao Wen sobbed and nodded, and Murong Jiu picked her up. The five-year-old child, with not much flesh on her body, was so light that she could be hugged with one hand.

"I soiled your clothes."

"It doesn't matter, just change your clothes if they get dirty."

"Will my mother be buried in the soil? I know she is dead."

Murong Jiu was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Xiao Wen knew everything.

She nodded slowly, "Yes, I will find someone to bury her properly. If you miss her in the future, you can visit her."

Xiaowen sniffed: "Thank you, Princess, you are a good person."

She is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

When Murong Jiu looked at her, she would always think of her two children. Although those two children were not around her much, they were sensible and well-behaved every time they met.

They were only four years old when they died.

With pain in her heart, she hugged Xiaowen tightly and ordered the guards to spend money to take care of Yu Niang's death.

"Chuntao, please take Xiaowen first and take Shopkeeper Chai and Mr. Lou to the teahouse to wait for me."

Murong Jiu didn't want Xiaowen to see her mother being put into the coffin. She was too young, and sometimes it was better to be ignorant.

The guard went to the coffin shop and bought a good coffin. Others thought it was unlucky, so only the lady who spoke before took the initiative to help carry Yu Niang into the coffin.

The person cannot be buried immediately, so he must first be carried to Yizhuang and left there, and then a feng shui treasured place can be found.

After the coffin was carried away, Murong Jiu turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man who was still pouring wine into his mouth.

"Leader Chang."

As soon as she spoke, the man raised his head, murderous intent shooting out of his dull eyes.
