What she said was so decisive that there was no room for mercy, and the enthusiasm that had always been maintained in Qin Xiuzhu's eyes also dimmed.
"Sorry, I know what I said may be hurtful, but if I don't say it clearly, it will really hurt you."
"I don't like you, and I already have someone I like."
After she said these words, she watched the light in Qin Xiuzhu's eyes disappear little by little.
"Yulian wakes up!"
Mrs. Zheng had been concerned about Yulian's condition, and when she saw Yulian opening her eyes, she also shouted.
Now everyone's focus shifted to Yulian, temporarily putting an end to the previous affairs.
After Yulian learned the outcome of the matter, she laughed a few times, and then her tears fell uncontrollably.
"My Hui Niang..."
Mrs. Zheng patted her shoulder, with sadness in her eyes.
In order not to disturb them, the group quietly exited the room at this time.
But when they opened the door, they found a woman wearing coarse linen clothes standing outside.
There were about a dozen patches on the woman's clothes. Her hands were holding the corners of her clothes tightly, and her head was almost hanging to the ground.
"Sorry, give me a moment."
No one present knew this woman, and she blocked the door. Mu Xuanyi also reminded her.
The woman suddenly woke up from a dream, quickly raised her head, and then knelt down with a plop.
"Please, sir, save my daughter!"
Her movements were so smooth that no one could react.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me. Don't kneel down when you come up." Mu Xuanyi was startled by her posture. The woman knelt firmly, and she and Zhang Yulu helped the woman kneeling on the ground up.
The woman shook her head, but before she spoke, there were already tears in her eyes.
"I am willing to work for you all my life. I just ask you to help me find my daughter."
After all, this was the corridor of an inn, so it was not appropriate to say this. Mu Xuanyi opened the door next door and let the woman and herself in.
The woman was originally a widow, living with her five-year-old daughter.
However, her father-in-law and mother-in-law made false accusations everywhere. It was she who killed the man and took away all the houses and fields that the man left for her.
So that the mother and daughter could only live in a ruined temple.
But even so, her parents-in-law did not let her go, and accepted the bride price from others to marry her to someone else.
She would rather die than obey, so her parents-in-law came to the house and tied her up and sent her away. On weekdays, she was even tied up at home to restrict her activities.
The woman thought about committing suicide countless times, but she endured it for the sake of her daughter.
After a year of trying to please her, the man lowered his guard against her and allowed her to go out.
The first thing a woman does when she goes out is to look for her daughter, but her parents-in-law say they have never paid any attention to their daughter.
There had been no trace of human activity in the original ruined temple for a long time.
"My daughter was just five years old and she was forced to separate from me. I don't know how she will live alone. She is obviously such a well-behaved child..." The woman said, and tears flowed down again involuntarily.
Not only Mu Xuanyi, but also Zhang Yulu heard her experience which was very heart-wrenching.
"That's just a five-year-old child after all. Without your protection, I'm afraid she won't be able to live long by herself." Qin Xiuzhu said solemnly at this time.
"If I want to see someone alive or see my body dead, I have to get my daughter back and let her know that my mother didn't abandon her on purpose."
The woman wiped her tears and spoke very firmly.
"So how did you know our identities?" Mu Xuanyi did not immediately agree to the woman's request.
"I was also in the market last night and heard your conversation, and then I realized that you have such a distinguished status."
"I went to the Yamen today, and I was eavesdropping on the case you were involved in..." The woman lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed.
Eavesdropping is indeed not a glorious thing, let alone that she eavesdropped twice in a row.
"What's your name? Where is your home?"
Mu Xuanyi found paper and pen, registered her information, and then asked her to go back and wait for news.
"It's been a year, and the other person is just a child, so it shouldn't be hard to find." Feng Yunxian waited for the woman to leave, and then looked at Mu Xuanyi.
Mu Xuanyi rubbed her swollen eyebrows: "This is also a poor person. If we don't help, she probably won't be able to find her daughter in this life."
Zhang Yulu was also silent: "It stands to reason that we will not accept such an unpaid order."
"But..." She has seen too many women's sufferings along the way, and she cannot stand by and watch anyway.
"If I can help her, I will pay for this commission." Zhang Yulu made her decision without much thought.
"No money." Mu Xuanyi shook her head.
"Now that the other party has come to the door, let's help her."
She already had an idea in mind, but she couldn't guarantee whether it would be feasible yet.
But before that, she also hoped to save this woman whose eyes were full of despair.
She made a conclusion in one sentence, and no one else had the intention to refute it.
But before helping to find someone, there was still some preparation work to be done. Feng Yunxian sent out several secret guards who had followed him and asked them to find out about the woman and see if what she said was true.
Mu Xuanyi went to check on Yulian's condition. After confirming that the bad guys had been punished, Yulian's mental state improved significantly.
"Today is a holiday, so don't be sad. It's so lively outside, you can go out and have fun and relax." Zheng and Yulian said a lot of heartfelt words, and they looked like they had cried a lot, with circles under their eyes.
It's red.
In order not to worry Mrs. Zheng, everyone also packed up and went out to participate in the festival.
During the day, the streets were already filled with vendors, and everyone was shouting and vying to express themselves.
Mu Xuanyi was a little troubled.
Because of the two men around her, even if she casually glanced aside, they would buy it in unison, saying that it was dedicated to her.
"Xuanyi, you just saw this candied haws. You must really want to eat it, right? I bought it for you."
"This hairpin matches you very well."
In a short time, Mu Xuanyi's arms were almost full.
Zhang Yulu took Xiao Longbao and stayed away, fearing that she would be involved in the struggle between them, so much so that Mu Xuanyi tried to find someone to help her escape, but couldn't find him.
She really couldn't bear it: "I'm here for shopping, not wholesale goods!"
"You gave me so many things, I can't even see the road ahead."
