Ling Chu also knew that things would not be such a coincidence, "It's not Shen Guards' fault for what happened this time. If he hadn't been there, I don't know how many people would have been injured this time..."

Seeing that her face was obviously pale in pain and she still wanted to plead for Shen Wei, Ning Chuyi's anger became even more intense, "You should be more concerned about your own life."

Seeing his sullen face, he immediately left, and his face seemed to be angry.

Lingchu frowned, wondering why this man suddenly changed his face.

Wei Feng saw that she was confused and couldn't help but remind her, "Miss Ling, don't worry, adults have their own discretion in doing things.

We adults have always followed strict rules in dealing with things. Moreover, there is no rule without rules. Shen Wei should have been punished for his negligence.

  He took the initiative to go back and receive the punishment before the Lord even spoke. "

Even though she said this, Shen Wei was also implicated by her this time.

He was originally Ning Chuyi's secret guard, but now he was sent to protect her. He was already a talentless man, but he still had to be implicated and punished by her.

 Ling Chu felt guilty.

Seeing that Wei Feng was about to leave, Ling Chu hurriedly said, "Please take those four guards back..."

Wei Feng paused in his steps and turned back, "Miss Ling, since I have left these people with you, you will not let them go back again.

Although you have the means to protect yourself, it is difficult to defend against hidden attacks. Bringing more people with you can also provide you with more safety.

 This is also what the emperor means.

Miss Ling should know that the reason why everyone in the Ling Mansion has been completely preserved is not only because of your identity as a disciple of Xuan Yi, but also because of your ability to find hidden silver. "

To put it bluntly, the emperor did not want her to die so quickly because he still wanted to keep her to help find the money hidden by corrupt officials.

Ling Chu also knew the emperor's intention, but he said, "Master Ning just leaves people to me. Will the manpower around him be enough?"

“Don’t worry, girl, these four are the secret guards raised by our Lord, not the imperial guards.”

Ning Chuyi had already left, and Wei Feng hurried away without saying anything more.

The four guards couldn't refuse, so Ling Chu had no choice but to accept it.

 The horse that drove the carriage earlier had its neck wiped, and without waiting for Ling Chu's instructions, a new carriage was prepared for her.

  By the time she arrived at Grandma Sun's house, she had been looking forward to it for a long time.

After a few pleasantries, Ling Chu was taken to Sun Guihua's house.

 The house in front of me is built of mud. It is small, with three rooms, low and dilapidated.

 The door is surrounded by a fence, and there are three children in the yard.

A little girl about five or six years old was washing a large basin of clothes, another three-year-old was choosing vegetables, and another one over one-year-old was sitting quietly playing aside.

 The three children are all thin and small, and their clothes are patched.

The little girl who was starching and washing clothes had holes in her shoes and her toes were exposed.

 The one who was choosing the vegetables was wearing loose clothes, which made him look even thinner and smaller.

The cloth shoes on her feet were patched and were much larger than her feet. At a glance, she knew they were the shoes of the sister who starched and washed clothes. “Da Ya, is your mother at home?”

Hearing the noise, the three children turned their heads and looked towards the fence gate.

The girl who was washing clothes stood up from the bench, shook off the water drops on her hands, walked over to open the door, and said uneasily, "Aunt Sun, my mother...she went to work in the fields."

Aunt Sun led Ling Chu inside and said, "Your mother is not at home, where is your milk?"

The little girl glanced at Ling Chu, then at the guards and the tall horses outside the door, with an uneasy look on her face, "I, I am not in good health, and I am lying in the room."

Aunt Sun had just taken a few steps into the yard when the little girl didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly knelt down at her and said, "Auntie, the old hen is gone. My family has no money. Are you going to arrest us and sell us?" Don't sell my brothers and sisters, please. Sell me.

Auntie, please sell me to a rich family to work as a maid, so that my mother can have money to pay for your old hen, and I can also make money for my mother to feed my younger brothers and sisters, and I can also have money to pay the doctor for medicine. "

Lingchu looked at the little girl in surprise. She was only a child of five or six years old, but she was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.

Aunt Sun sighed with a headache and stretched out her hand to pull her, "Da Ya, get up quickly. Who are you listening to? Why did I sell you to you?"

The little girl didn't want to get up, and kept begging Aunt Sun to sell her.

Another little girl put down the food in her hand, rushed over and knelt down, crying and begging with tears, "Aunt Sun, you are a good person, please don't betray my sister, can you?"

The youngest one didn’t understand anything yet. He opened his ignorant eyes and looked at this and that, as if he wanted to cry or not.

Lingchu looked at these children with a headache. This was the first time she encountered such a situation when collecting debts.

Aunt Sun was even more helpless. One of her two children begged her to sell it, while the other begged her not to sell it.

 Sighed, and picked up the two children one by one with each hand.

The movement in the yard was heard in the house, and a woman with white hair came out of the house with a stooped body, coughing and leaning on a cane.

He greeted Aunt Sun and sighed, "It's Rong Niang who is here. The children are ignorant, don't blame them."

He waved to the two little girls again, "Da Ya Er Ya, please stop making trouble with your Aunt Sun. Hurry up and move the benches out of the house to invite the guests to sit, and then boil a pot of water."

Aunt Sun waved her hand, "No need to work anymore, let the children rest. Mother Daya, are you working in the fields again?"

The old woman nodded, "Osmanthus went to the field to weed the crops. Rong Niang, are you here again about the old hen? I'm really sorry for you. My old woman's health is not up to expectations. My My daughter-in-law did it all for me, and I was the one who dragged her down."

Aunt Sun sighed, "Aunt Wu, I know your family's life is difficult. I have raised that old hen for your family for more than three months. It was originally agreed that you would help me raise the chickens and I would give you an egg every day. The rest, Just give it to me again.

 But I didn’t ask you for any of the eggs laid by the old hen, I left them all to you. Now my daughter-in-law is pregnant and she is not in good health. I have to give her some support.

I won’t bother you to raise the old hen. I’ll take it back and raise it myself. "

 The old woman sighed deeply and pursed her lips, but did not speak.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and a woman walked in hurriedly carrying a hoe.

 Seeing Aunt Sun, the woman was relieved at first, but when she saw Ling Chu and the guards, she looked a little uneasy.

When Aunt Sun saw the woman, she said hello first, and then said, "Osmanthus, I won't bother you to raise my old hen. You take it out and I will take it back and raise it myself. My daughter-in-law is pregnant and she is still waiting." I laid eggs to replenish her health.”

The little girl who was standing quietly aside rushed out and knelt down again, "I'm sorry, auntie, it was Da Ya who didn't watch the chicken carefully and let it run away." (End of chapter)
