Twenty-seven, good intentions and bad intentions (2)
It was an hour after the last time when the old woman came in again. When she saw the finished bowl, the old woman smiled, indicating that this girl was finally willing to eat.
"Girl, I've heated the water for you. Looking at your mess, you probably haven't taken a bath. Grandma is not a bad person, don't be afraid."
"Hmph. Don't think that I will believe you if you are so kind. I just want to see what you want to do for the time being. Don't take yourself too much as a benefactor!"
Although Shi Wei said so, he was really not that resistant in his heart. He was indeed a little tired. Once he relaxed, his whole body became limp. She thought so while sitting in the bathtub.
The old woman gently helped Shi Wei take a bath with gentle eyes.
"I, back then, I had a daughter as old as you. Unfortunately, the child's life was not good. She drowned not long after. Meeting the girl was God's will. After the girl settles down, I will help the girl find her parents.
…”
"No need."
Shi Wei said coldly, standing up from the bathtub naked.
"What does my business have to do with you?"
After getting along with each other for a few days, Shi Wei also found that the old woman and her husband did not look like bad people, and they took good care of her. The puppy named Wangcai reminded her of "San Mao", and she watched the calmness day by day.
In life, Shi Wei seemed to have forgotten the bloody events, and gradually opened her heart to the old couple. She also learned to help serve tea and meals. Although she couldn't do it well, the old people smiled at her kindly.
What a brat I am! Even though people saved me with good intentions, I had such a bad attitude towards them!
Princess Qiyun reflected in her heart, confirmed the old man's good intentions, and felt much better.
"Why, grandpa and grandma, is this enough for you?"
When he saw that the rice grains in the bowls of the old woman and his wife were sparse and her bowl was full of rice, Shi Wei asked curiously.
"It's okay, this is all the old man can eat. Girl, you are growing, so you should eat more."
The old man said, and Shi Wei nodded in understanding.
That day, when Shi Wei was passing by the house and preparing to play with Wangcai for a while, he suddenly heard the conversation between the old people.
"If this continues, there won't be much rice at home and we won't be able to open the pot, but we can't let the girl go hungry."
"Yes, that child has obviously experienced something terrible. Now that we have picked her up, we must let her live a good life. What should we do?"
"It's okay. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the capital and sell these bamboo baskets. I should be able to buy more rice."
"That's really hard on you, old man."
So, is that really what it is? I obviously didn’t have anything to eat, and even though I was given all the food in stock, I still asked innocently, not understanding how ordinary people live their lives! Originally, there was nothing like not having anything to eat in the palace.
, I am so ignorant.
Several times, in the study, Shi Wei saw Prince Gong working and worrying about state affairs. Shi Wei heard that there was another severe drought in a certain place, with no harvest and no food for the people. Those rebellious ministers still argued with reason.
They can open warehouses to release grain, but who knows that the disaster relief funds have already been misappropriated by them.
The next day, Shi Wei got up early and blocked the intersection where the grandfather was going out.
"Girl..."
"Grandpa, Yan'er is here to help you. At least Yan'er is pretty good at shouting."
The old man smiled, touched Princess Qiyun's head, and acquiesced for her to follow.
If Shi Wei had stopped appearing at the center of the political whirlpool and lived in seclusion with the old woman and her husband, perhaps all the disasters would not have continued to happen, and perhaps her fate would not have changed again.
The young princess didn't expect that when she appeared again, she had become the key criminal to be hunted.
