Chapter 243

243 incredible wanniang

Wan Niang left the tea shed and walked to the vegetable market, but she felt more and more strange. The dishes in Dongcheng food market are cheap. There should be a lot of people. Why can't you see anyone in such a big street? There were many beggars lying on both sides of the street. Wan Niang looked intently. All these beggars were sallow and dying. They looked like they had some strange disease. The beggars looked at her with a faint trace of greed. Wanniang subconsciously covered the cotton bag with copper plates in her hand and wanted to leave the place quickly.

Behind her, she was suddenly hugged by a man. Wan Niang stared in horror. The hands stuck on her neck were as thin as firewood. There were maggots and fleas crawling on it, emitting a stench. She was one of the beggars!

"Give me your money!" the beggar's voice was weak, but her chicken claw like hands were stuck on WAN Niang's neck. Wan Niang was almost out of breath, but she still hugged the cotton bag in her arms. There was food money for their family for three days. She must not easily give her wallet to the beggar.

"I... I'm not rich... Please leave me some copper..." the cotton bag was finally taken away by the beggar. The beggar kicked wanniang to the ground. Wanniang fell down on the muddy land and begged loudly.

The beggar thought he had found something cheap. Unexpectedly, when he opened the cotton bag, there were a few sporadic coppers lying inside. The beggar spit out thick phlegm: "bitch, what about your grandpa and me? So many broken coppers are worth protecting so tightly?"

Wan Niang shivered and shrunk back. She couldn't bear the copper, but she knew better that she couldn't annoy the beggar at this time.

"Ouch, this little girl's skin... Looks quite beautiful..." the beggar smiled and held up Wan's chin with his dirty hands. He said loudly: "since you're entertaining, I'll accompany you. Little girl, let me hurt you..."

Wan Niang's startled veil turned white and retreated back: "no, please forgive me..."

"As long as you have enough fun with me, I will forgive you... The beggar jumped up with a grim smile. Just as his dirty hand was about to touch wanniang's cheek, a cold shining sword suddenly came in from a tricky angle and cut directly on the beggar's wrist. The beggar howled miserably, covered his injured wrist and lay on the ground crying for his father and mother.

If the sword stabbed deeper, I was afraid that the beggar's wrist would be cut off alive. The person who took the shot still kept his affection.

"Don't get out of here!" a tall and straight figure picked up Wan Niang from behind and scolded the beggar. As the beggar bared his teeth and covered his wrists, he staggered up and ran away in a hurry. Which hand held Wan Niang was solid and powerful, with a thick cocoon on his hand. At first glance, he was a swordsman who practiced martial arts all the year round.

"Little woman, thank you for saving your life." Wan Niang stood still and gave a deep salute to the other party, with a look of gratitude on her face.

It was a young man in his twenties who saved her. He had a white, clean and handsome baby face. He looked like a weak scholar. Who knew that his martial arts were so strong. The man he called Xiake looked dazed and immediately cheered: "girl, I'm in my twenties. You're the first person to call me Daxia. It's ridiculous“

Wan Niang blushed with shame. Although she was born in a merchant's family, she has also received court training since childhood. She knows the truth that men and women have different seats at the age of seven. Except song Qingyun, she has never connected with the skin of a strange man. When the man held her with his hand just now, the warm palm was burning. Wan Niang was a little shy. Now she is teased by people, and she lowers her head in shame.

The brave young man took the sword, put the sword back into the sword bag around his waist, and punched wanniang: "I'm Xiawei Qiwu. I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

”I... my name is wan Niang... "Wan Niang lowered her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes uneasily, and whispered after half a ring:" I'm not a girl... I already have a fiance“

Wei Qiwu looked slightly embarrassed and said with a smile, "dare you ask Miss Wan's fiance who is the son of the family?"

"Little girl's fiance, song Qingyun, song Jinshi of the Song family in the south of the city." when she mentioned song Qingyun, Wan Niang's face showed a proud look: "if you pass by the Song family next time, please come in and have a cup of tea, and let the little girl's mother-in-law and little girl's fiance have the opportunity to thank you face to face." Wan Niang thanked Wei Qiwu from her heart.

Wei Qiwu smiled on his face, but secretly felt unfair for wanniang. Hum, this silly girl doesn't know that her wolf hearted fiance and mother-in-law are trying to kill her?

"Since Miss Wan Niang lives in the south of the city, why did she come here to buy vegetables?" Wei Qiwu asked with a puzzled face.

Wan Niang smiled and told her mother-in-law what she said: "I'm ashamed. The little girl's family is not rich... Her mother-in-law said that the vegetables in the east city are fresher and cheaper than those in the south city. That's why she ordered her to come all the way here to buy vegetables and bring back some Longfeng golden dumplings that her mother-in-law likes to eat."

The silly girl still wants to buy cakes for the dead old woman of song's mother? She was sold and paid for it?

Wei Qiwu's face was slightly ugly: "don't miss Wan Niang know that Dongcheng has become a place full of plague now?"

Wan Niang was slightly stunned, and then her eyes widened in horror. No wonder Dongcheng vegetable market street, which has always been lively, has become so desolate. It turns out that Dongcheng has become a plague city! Just now those beggars lying on the ground with sallow faces are not sick, but infected with the plague!

Wan Niang's timid body shook and almost fell to the ground with her feet soft. Wei Qiwu helped her from behind. The waist under his palm was thin and soft. He could hold her full with almost one hand. This wanniang was too thin. Wei Qiwu was secretly distressed.

"The east city is already a place of plague. Your vicious mother-in-law still wants you to come here. Don't you think she has other intentions?" Wei Qiwu looked at Wan Niang's simple face and couldn't help opening his mouth.

"Mother-in-law?" Wan Niang stared at Wei Qiwu's handsome face, then suddenly showed an angry look on her face and pushed away Wei Qiwu's big palm holding her waist: "who are you? Why scold my mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law has lived in a deep house for a long time. How can she know about the plague in Dongcheng? She certainly didn't mean to let me come." Wan Niang looked at Wei Qiwu warily and defended her mother-in-law.

Wei Qiwu was annoyed by her defensive eyes. He couldn't help taking out the token of the Regent's house from his arms: "Miss Wan, you see clearly, I'm the guard of the Regent's house, not a bad person."

Wan Niang actually liked Wei Qiwu. After all, if he hadn't done it just now, she might have fallen into the hands of the dirty beggar. The sign in Wei Qiwu's hand is pure gold, with the badge of the Regent's house printed on it. It's heavy. Wan Niang took it over and looked over and over for a long time. Then she was suspicious and said, "are you the bodyguard of the Regent's house?"

"Did you really just save me by passing here?" Wan Niang stepped back vigilantly: "or was the beggar with you just now?"

Wei Qiwu couldn't laugh or cry. The girl was cheated by song Qingyun and song's mother. Why did she get smart here? Does he have a bad face?

"Miss Wan Niang, I'm really not a bad person." Wei Qiwu took a deep breath. He was afraid that Wan Niang couldn't stand it and wanted to say the truth more gently, but now he can't help telling the truth.

"Miss Wan, I told you something on the order of my master. Your fiance, song Qingyun and song Jinshi, wanted to eat swan meat. In order to marry the Pearl Princess of my Regent's palace, he lied that he had no fiancee."

"Song Jinshi pretended to be honest and friendly. Somehow, she was right about my old imperial concubine's fate. The old imperial concubine fell in love with song Jinshi and wanted to marry Princess Mingzhu to her. Princess Mingzhu naturally didn't want to, but she couldn't go against the old imperial concubine's intention. My master asked me to go to the song house to find out the details of song Jinshi."

"Who knows, on the day I went there, I just heard what scholar song and his mother said. Scholar song was afraid that your existence would affect him to marry the princess. His mother and son discussed a poison plan to get rid of you. Scholar song's mother wanted to poison you directly. Scholar song was afraid that things would be exposed. I heard that the plague broke out in the east city and wanted to infect you with the plague. When he died, no one suspected that it was their mother and son I've lost my hand. "

"Now you understand why your damned mother-in-law insisted that you come to Dongcheng to buy vegetables?" Wei Qiwu said in one breath, and some couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on WAN Niang's face.

After hearing Wei Qiwu's words, Wan Niang's face became as pale as snow. Wei Qiwu was afraid that she would faint directly. He stretched out his hand and tried to help her, but wan Niang pushed her away.

"So you were the one hiding under the window that day." Wan Niang hated. She saw a shadow that day. She squatted furtively under the song's window. In only one second, the shadow disappeared. She still regarded it as her own dazzle.

Wei Qiwu awkwardly touched the tip of his nose: "it's me. I hid under the window and overheard what they wanted to hurt you."

"Why should I believe you?" Wan Niang's eyes flushed slightly, and her voice choked: "Qingyun has always treated me well, and her mother-in-law is also very gentle to me now. We came to the capital from the countryside and have been dependent on each other. Although we didn't get married, I have already regarded Qingyun as my father-in-law and mother-in-law as my mother-in-law. Why did they hurt me?"

I don't believe it so much as Wan Niang can't believe it. She gets along with them day and night, regards them as her closest people, and has paid all for the family. Why are song Qingyun and song's mother cruel to her?

Wei Qiwu looked at Wan Niang's appearance, which contained tears but stubbornly didn't let tears fall, and sighed gently: "Song Qingyun's mother and son are a pair of animals. You should know that animals can do anything."
