Dr. Wen's medical clinic is a good place, but it's a pity that he doesn't lack manpower here.
"Sister, I'm already healed, I'm not going to be cured anymore!"
"Young master, don't worry. If you need medical treatment in the future, just come to Wen."
When they left, Doctor Wen gave them two more doses of medicine.
Qianru thanked them again and again and told Zhixuan to remember this benefactor who helped them in times of need.
Zhixuan nodded firmly, and soon fell asleep in a daze.
Doctor Wen saw that she was still frightened and explained that it was caused by the power of the medicine.
She felt more relieved, thanked him again, and left with Zhixuan on his back.
It snowed last night. After the snow melted, the road was a little slippery.
She almost fell down several times and accidentally woke up Zhixuan, who stubbornly wanted to get down and walk on his own.
She felt sleepy while walking, so she rubbed her eyes and insisted on walking by herself. Only when she couldn't stand it any longer did she obediently stay on her back.
His little arms were around her neck, and his little body was next to hers.
Carrying my brother on my back felt extremely happy.
She carried it hard, gritted her teeth, and carried it to the door of her house before waking him up.
While it was still dark, she quickly went to the West Market and bought fish and vegetables, hoping to make a better meal for Zhixuan.
When I didn't want to come back, I was pestered by a drunk man.
She finally got rid of her, but the man kept following her.
She was so frightened that she ran all the way home and locked the door.
Unexpectedly, she was so shocked that the man actually broke open the door and broke in and started to touch her.
Seeing this, Zhixuan picked up the old pottery jar from under the eaves, climbed onto the table, and smashed the drunk man on the head.
The drunk man fell to the ground with blood on his face, unconscious.
Just when the siblings were at a loss what to do, Mother Hua suddenly came. Seeing this, she screamed in horror.
"Oh, so much blood, so much blood, you killed people, you killed people."
Qianru was worried that Zhixuan would be caught, so she dragged Hua's mother into the yard and locked the door.
Because she had rejected Hua Mama before, Hua Mama took the opportunity to make things difficult for her and asked for fifty taels of hush money.
Qianru had no choice but to give her all the money she had, but Hua's mother didn't look down on her at all and threw it on the ground with disdain.
"You should keep this money for yourself to buy the coffin!"
Seeing that Hua's mother refused, Qianru picked up a stool and threw it on the drunk man's head with a roar.
She just wanted to take the blame on herself, but she didn't expect the drunk man to escape quickly.
A moment after the drunk man got up, he rolled his eyes and began to drag Mother Hua to call her mother. He behaved childishly, as if he was stupid.
"Hmph, this is Mr. Li from outside the west city. Now you have beaten him into a fool. If you want to do anything about it, you have to prepare a thousand taels."
Which wealthy family member would agree to accept a mere thousand taels and let go of the murderer who killed his son?
This is obviously not something that can be settled with money.
Qianru took her younger brother and rushed out of the door, wanting to surrender to the government and bear the blame alone.
Hua's mother thought she was trying to escape, so she quickly blocked the two of them.
At the same time, the young man was no longer stupid and shouted at them to pay compensation. If they didn't pay, they would report it to the official.
Sometimes I'm drunk, sometimes I'm stupid, and sometimes I'm sober again.
Qianru finally realized that this was not an ordinary drunkard. He and Hua Mama sang and sang together, yin and yang, and it was clear that they were secretly colluding.
She reluctantly protected Zhixuan behind her, pretending to be scared, and begged them in a low voice to show their kindness.
The young master asked for one thousand taels, and Hua's mother pretended to negotiate for two hundred taels, and then generously lent her the money.
She sneered and exposed their conspiracy.
"Vicious woman, you tried every possible means to force a good girl into prostitution. However, you have met the wrong person. I would rather go to jail than join your pirate ship."
It was obvious that she had already dressed up, but Hua's mother didn't panic, and instead pretended to be a good person calmly.
"It's a fact that you hurt someone. Sooner or later, you will have to pay for it. Mom, I just want to help you for the sake of getting acquainted."
You can take all the blame, but what about your brother? Who will support him in the future? Why not go to the Yamen for a lawsuit? "
She understood that this flower mother was familiar with the common weaknesses of people in their situation, being helpless and afraid of causing trouble.
She had an idea and smiled calmly.
"It's only one thousand taels. It's not that I can't get it out, it's just that I don't want to ask for help before I'm in a desperate situation. Come with me, and I'll definitely give it to you within half a day."
Mother Hua didn't know their details, so she found someone to bandage up the young man's body, and then went with them to ask for money.
Half of the dignitaries in the capital live in Ziyi Lane.
As soon as they walked in, Hua's mother's face suddenly changed, and she began to pretend to persuade the young master to ask for less, so as to calm the matter.
"You can't ask for less. The dignitaries here are not short of money at all. If you ask for less, I won't be able to borrow it from others!"
"Where are you from?"
Seeing Prince Luo's Mansion approaching, she pointed to the magnificent vermilion door and said, "Have you ever heard of the censor An Tai who made a scene in the execution ground?"
That incident was extremely sensational. How could a person like Mother Hua not know about it? Thinking that her surname was An, she immediately understood, "Little Hoof, it turns out you are cheating Mr. Li."
She smiled calmly and said: "Since mom is a sensible person, I won't hide it. My father died in vain not long ago, and the murderer is most likely King Luo. As long as you send us to King Luo's palace, why worry about not having money? Let alone a thousand dollars.
Two taels of silver, even a thousand taels of gold, the prince is willing to part with."
"Crazy, crazy!"
Mother Hua was so angry that she didn't dare to act recklessly because she was in front of the palace.
"Let's go, Mother Hua, Mr. Li, you will definitely have money when you go in."
The stupid Mr. Li actually followed her, but Hua's mother dragged him back, "Idiot, do you want to drag me to death?"
"If I can't get the money, my beating will be in vain. I want the money!"
"I'm afraid you'll see the coffin before you see the money!" Hua's mother dragged the young master to a corner and muttered for a while. The two men warned them fiercely that seeing them again in the future would definitely make them miserable.
When Qianru saw the two of them walking away, she quickly took her younger brother in the opposite direction.
After lingering outside the gate of Prince Luo's Mansion for so long, she had already broken out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the gate did not drive them away, let alone recognize them.
"Sister, I'm so sleepy! I can't walk."
After not much rest for several days, she couldn't walk anymore, but Ziyi Lane was not a place to stay for a long time, so she had to leave quickly.
