When Sheng Nuan rushed to Miaoshan Hall, she saw Xiao Dingcheng sitting in the corner outside Miaoshan Hall, holding his head and burying it in his knees.
The originally high-spirited young man, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, turned into such a pitiful appearance in just a few days.
Sheng Nuan walked over there with no expression on her face.
Although she could understand Xiao Dingcheng's depression and confusion, if it were not for the mission, she would not have anything to do with such a man.
The only person you can rely on in this life is yourself... Even if you are knocked down to the bottom, you will still have to climb up step by step with gritted teeth and support.
If you can't hold it up or stand firm, you will always be trampled by others...
Xiao Dingcheng didn't know that Sheng Nuan was coming.
He didn't dare to go back and didn't know how to face that family.
Xiao Dingcheng didn't think much when he went out, but the moment he walked into the pawn shop, he felt that all his dignity and face had been torn off and trampled on the ground.
Most people in the capital know Prince Zhenbei, and they all know that Prince Zhenbei's Mansion no longer exists. But he, the prince who used to be so carefree and arrogant, now has to carry the only thought of his mother to the palace.
Exchange money in the pawn shop.
When those people in the pawn shop looked at him openly or covertly, Xiao Dingcheng felt that he was extremely embarrassed. He couldn't take a step in, so he turned around and ran away.
But how could he avoid it? His grandmother and mother were still ill. He wandered outside the pawn shop in a daze. When he finally made up his mind and walked in, he discovered that the bracelet in his arms was gone.
Only then did he remember the person who bumped into him...
The bracelet was something that her mother-in-law had never left her body for decades. When her house was ransacked, she tried her best not to take it off, but she took it out and gave it to him so that the family could live, but he lost it.
The bones of my father who died in the battle have not yet been returned, and there is also a sick grandmother, mother and a pregnant woman at home...
Xiao Dingcheng has never had such a moment of confusion and despair. He hopes that this is just a nightmare and when he wakes up, everything is false, his father is still fine, and the Zhenbei Palace is still there...
But he knew clearly in his confusion that that was impossible!
At this moment, a voice sounded above the head: "Husband..."
Xiao Dingcheng froze suddenly, slowly raised his head, and met Sheng Nuan's calm gaze.
She no longer wore the gorgeous dress she wore when she was in the palace, but a plain cloth skirt. Her expression was still the same, with her eyebrows and eyes full of life.
Sheng Nuan said to Xiao Dingcheng: "Stand up."
Xiao Dingcheng's body suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but he couldn't hold it back... He told himself that he couldn't shrink back!
His family is still waiting for him to go back. What should they do if he shrinks back?
A little girl like Sheng Nuan is standing here, why should he back down...
Xiao Dingcheng pursed his lips. The next moment, he stood up holding the wall and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Nuannuan, I lost my bracelet."
"Well, I understand."
Sheng Nuan pulled him without saying a word and walked to the pawn shop not far away. She walked into the pawn shop with a calm expression, then pulled out a silver hairpin from her head and put it on the counter. The person on the opposite side smiled and said, "Pawn this."
The people at the pawn shop already knew that the down-and-out prince had lost something. Now he saw Sheng Nuan coming in with a complicated look on his face. He responded and took her things at a high price.
Sheng Nuan thanked him, and then took Xiao Dingcheng to Miaoshan Hall to invite the doctor back.
After the doctor examined the old lady and the princess, Wen'er hurried to ask the doctor to take a look at Liu Rumian.
After taking the prescription, Sheng Nuan paid the doctor's consultation fee: "I will only pay the old lady and the eldest lady's money. Others' money is none of my business. Doctor, please do as you please."
Wen'er suddenly became anxious: "But our wife is very uncomfortable."
Sheng Nuan said: "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Wen'er suddenly became anxious and subconsciously wanted to ask Xiao Dingcheng for help, but she saw that Xiao Dingcheng was already sitting in the yard again, lost and confused...
Wen'er stamped her feet, turned around and ran into the house, then took out a pair of Liu Rumian's earrings, and then invited the doctor in...
Sheng Nuan turned around to cook the medicine. At this moment, she suddenly saw Aunt Gui walking out tremblingly.
Her heart moved slightly and she chased after her: "Mommy, where are you going?"
Aunt Gui stiffened slightly, and then continued to walk quickly out without saying a word. Sheng Nuan quickly caught up with her and stopped her.
Sheng Nuan spoke in a gentle tone: "Aunt Gui, what's wrong?"
Aunt Gui looked away: "Madam, I'm leaving now, please take good care of the old lady."
If it were another servant, Sheng Nuan would definitely not stop him from finding a new home, but Aunt Gui had stayed in the palace her whole life and had no relatives. At such an old age, no one would hire her.
Sheng Nuan frowned: "Aunt Gui, you have no children. At such an old age, where are you going to leave here?"
Aunt Gui's lips trembled slightly, she paused, and her eye circles turned red: "The family is unable to survive now. The old lady is gone. I can save a mouthful of food and ask the old lady to eat better."
Sheng Nuan felt a little sad in her heart, but she had a smile on her face: "Don't worry, mama, you won't occupy the old lady's rations. Besides, I also have some money hidden privately. Well... I still expect you to take care of the old lady. If you
Now that I'm gone, I can't explain it to the old lady when she wakes up and can't see you."
Aunt Gui's tears fell down.
She knew that it wasn't that this family really couldn't live without her, but that Sheng Nuan had a good heart and wouldn't leave her alone, an old woman who just had to do nothing...
"Okay, mama, the old lady's medicine is ready. Go and give her medicine."
Aunt Gui responded and walked to the kitchen while wiping her tears.
In the small house on the side, Liu Rumian was lying on a worn-out bed, her face as pale as a vegetable.
Wen'er sat next to her and wiped her tears: "Miss, what should we do... This, this is not as good as us being in Shangshu Mansion. Miss, have you ever suffered like this?"
Liu Rumian's lips moved, but she couldn't speak.
When she was in Shangshu Mansion, she always tried her best to climb up because she was a concubine and inferior to her legitimate sons and daughters... But why did she end up in such a situation after crawling?
In the past few days, Xiao Dingcheng didn't even look at her... What on earth was she planning!
There are five rooms in the shabby courtyard. Aunt Gui sleeps in the old lady's room. It will be warmer if they sleep together.
Wen'er naturally accompanied Liu Rumian, and the remaining three people each had a room.
Sheng Nuan watched the old lady settle down, and when she returned to her residence and was about to take a simple shower, she suddenly heard the customer service reminder: "Host, someone is coming to arrest you."
Sheng Nuan was stunned: "Who is it?"
The customer service replied: "Those who support Bai Chengze, they feel that Bai Chengze has lost control and want to arrest you to control him."
Sheng Nuan cursed in a low voice, thinking of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the yard, paused, and flew away...
This place was on the edge of the capital. She easily left the residential area and reached a forest in the distance, and the people behind her quickly caught up with her.
Sheng Nuan landed lightly on the ground, and as soon as she turned around, five black shadows surrounded her, four of them had black scarves covering their faces, and only one... his face was covered with a black hazy mist.
The customer service's tone was rare and serious: "Host, be careful, that shameless one is the wizard from southern Xinjiang... They want to capture you to contain Bai Chengze."
