Chapter 211 Banished

Ning Mingming was instantly sober.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of the girl's clothes in front of him, and followed her to look out the window.

I saw many torches flickering under the shadowy black curtain, and many figures could be seen faintly.It looks like at least dozens of people.

It was the first time Ning Mingming encountered such a situation, so he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his throat was a little dry: "Okay, there are a lot of people..."

Ning Xianxian stared intently for a while, and heard footsteps outside the door, as well as frantic crying.

The guy at the inn was calling people from room to room, and when it was Ning Xianxian's turn, he was already trembling, and said, "Second, two little guest officers, you guys, you pack up and go outside for the night." It's terrible...I have to call someone else, hurry up..."

Bandits and thieves these days are all murderers and robbers, standard desperadoes.When one's own strength is not enough, there will be no good fruit to go head-to-head with them.

"Sister, what should we do now?" Ning Mingming's lips were a little pale, but his face was still tight, trying not to show fear.

Ning Xianxian thought about it, and said to Mingming: "Let's go out and see the situation first."

"What about the peony?"

"Bring it." Ning Xianxian carried the peony basket on his back, then carried a bag containing only a few clothes and dry food, and led Ning Mingming outside.

There were about twenty people living in this inn, some old and some young, all of them were driven to the open space at the door, and pointed at by those people with sharp knives.

"Gentlemen, please spare us, please..." A timid man knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to the bandits non-stop, begging for mercy.

Many tenants showed disdainful expressions.

"What's that look on your face?" A tall, thin, middle-aged bandit grabbed a woman out with his hand and scolded, "Are you looking down on us?"

The woman yelled, "Let me go! You bastard!"

The middle-aged bandit was furious, kicked the woman to the ground, kicked her hard a few times, and cursed, "You slut!"

The woman was kicked and passed out.

There was a sudden cry of panic from the crowd.

Ning Mingming clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "It's so hateful! I really want to beat him to death!"

"Don't be impulsive." Ning Xianxian took his hand and said in a low voice, "If we go now, we will only be beaten, and we won't be able to help others."

"Sister, they won't kill us, will they?" Mingming asked in a low voice, "There are so many bandits openly robbing, why is there no one from the government to take care of it?"

Ning Xianxian calmly said: "Don't be afraid, I don't think they are some bandits."

Although this place is remote, it is not far from the capital at any rate. Even if there are bandits, they will never appear in such a large number to rob so brazenly.

Do you want to lose face of the imperial court?

They will definitely do their best to hunt them down.

Ning Mingming felt relieved after hearing this: "Then who are they, and what do they want?"

"The answer should come soon." Ning Xianxian looked calmly, looking not far away from the crowd.

There, a large blue carriage was parked.

Two women who looked like servants carefully helped a beautiful young woman in gorgeous clothes from the carriage.

The beautiful woman's belly swelled high, obviously she was pregnant.

Next to the woman, there is a group of girls and women, surrounded by an old woman in her 50s.

The old woman frowned with displeasure on her face: "I can't bear it until I'm resting at home? Where will I live at this time, such a dilapidated inn in the countryside..."

The beautiful woman looked a little weak, but she still said gently: "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault, it made the old lady suffer."

"Hmph." The old woman snorted, and frowned forward, "Why haven't you recovered yet?"

The tall and thin man who beat and scolded the tenant before ran over quickly, and said respectfully: "If you go back to the old lady, all the irrelevant people have been kicked out, and now they are being cleaned up."

The old woman raised her hand, revealing the huge gemstone ring on her finger, and said with some disgust: "It's really annoying. Why do I have to live in the place of these low-level people?"

The thin and tall man apologized and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are wronged. Isn't it because Madam is unwell. Stay here first, and then make up your mind when the master comes."

The old woman glared at the beautiful woman, and walked towards the inn first.

The beautiful woman lowered her head, was supported by the maid, and silently followed behind.

When passing by the evicted tenants, the old woman walked straight into the inn without even looking at them.

The beautiful woman walked over, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and said to the tenants apologetically, "I surprised everyone."

After she finished speaking, she told a maid beside her who was carrying a bundle: "Xiaohuan, give them some money so that they can find another place to stay."

Xiaohuan agreed, and took out some scattered silver from the bag, distributed it to everyone, and said softly: "My wife is not feeling well, please forgive me."

Everyone looked at the beautiful woman and the money in their hands, and then they understood.It turned out that it wasn't bandits who came, but a lady from a rich family.

You can save a life, and you can get money to go to another lodging.

This is simply a big surprise.

Everyone took the money and dispersed in a hurry.

Ning Xianxian and Ning Mingming stood at the end.

The beautiful woman saw their siblings holding hands and cuddling together, her heart softened, and she said with a smile: "Xiaohuan, buy more sweets for these two children, poor thing, they must be scared."

Before Ning Xianxian could react, there was an extra piece of hard silver in his hand.

Ning Xianxian didn't say anything. After thanking her, she pulled Ning Mingming to leave.

At this time, the beautiful woman suddenly snorted in a low voice, then arched her body, squatting on the ground with a painful expression.

Xiaohuan was startled, and hurriedly turned around to help her: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you, Ma'am, is there something uncomfortable?"

"I... have a stomachache..." The beautiful woman broke out in cold sweat.

"Could it be that you're about to give birth?" Xiaohuan's face changed drastically in fright, and she hurriedly ordered the maid beside her, "Go and tell the old lady quickly. And you, go and send someone to find the master right away."

The two servants rushed away separately.

Xiaohuan supported the beautiful woman alone, and shouted to Ning Xianxian, "Little girl, can you help me!"

Ning Xianxian put down the basket and said to Mingming, "Stay outside and wait for me, don't run around."

"sister……"

"It's okay." Ning Xianxian comforted him, then went to support the beautiful woman with Xiaohuan, and walked towards the inn.

The old woman was startled, she came over to have a look, frowned and said, "Isn't this about to give birth?"

"I'm afraid it is, madam is already red!" Xiaohuan was so anxious that her face was covered with sweat, she ordered the servant girl, "Go and tidy up a clean room and come out!"

The old woman's face was gloomy: "How can my grandson be born in such a place outside? Can't bear to go back to the house to be born again?"

Ning Xianxian glanced at her: "Madam, can you wait to have a baby?"

Seeing her ordinary appearance, the old woman thought she was some maid in the family, and said annoyedly: "Then hurry up and help her in! Xiaohuan, go get someone to find Mrs. Wen!"
