It was fine if she just thought about it. She did not care about those words, she only wanted to give him the right to marry. Why hadn't she heard of this before? She didn't want to know who was making such a scene and spreading the rumours …

As they chatted and laughed, the storyteller finished his story. He drank a cup of tea, then took another eye-catching shot and repeated the story he had told before.

"Why is it like this again?" Xi Mengyao was curious, but seeing that many of the people had stood up and were about to leave, she became even more suspicious.

The person sitting at the same table as him could only shake his head helplessly, "Young master, this is the first time you've come. You don't know that this mister has prepared a story every day just to tell it back and forth."

"So willful?" Then do you know if there are any good storytellers here? "

Xi Mengyao also sighed when she heard him. She stood up and pushed the pastries that had not been used before over, "I can't eat, so this is for you."

When did they ever order such good pastries? After thanking him, they were kind and said to Xi Mengyao: "If you want to listen to the books well, you have to be that Mister Neigh from the Moon Tower. With his elegant appearance and his sharp tongue, he was able to talk about the dead for you."

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao became interested, but in her heart, she was worried about the marriage, and as she was feeling suspicious, he also went downstairs.

After looking left and right, he didn't feel too conflicted.

The Moon Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the capital, and it happened to be situated in the same location as the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As she thought of this, she walked in that direction. On that street, apart from these, there were also many other shops.

However, before she could take two steps, she heard a ruckus up ahead.

The group of people gathered around to watch the commotion, but it completely blocked off the road.

Xi Mengyao then walked over and casually grabbed a person and asked: "Aunt, what happened?"

The person was a middle-aged lady, well-dressed, with a reasonable mouth. Upon hearing Xi Mengyao's question, she opened her mouth and spoke a few sentences, clearly explaining the situation to him.

It turned out to be a medical hall in front of them. The two crying were a couple. The two of them lived outside of the western courtyard. Their master's surname was Qiong, and this person's surname was the same as theirs. He was destitute and destitute.

The owner of this house, an old man named Qiong, was in his thirties and couldn't marry a wife. He was also someone who was pitied by the heavens. Two years ago, he had saved a beggar on the street.

In order to repay his kindness, this beggar married him.

The couple had given birth to a child, a boy, in their old age.

The couple were naturally overjoyed as they continued to nurture each other like a treasure. But how could a poor family raise a good child? "For the first three years, children were often sick. Their children could not eat well or wear well, so they were often diseased.

Last month, our child caught a cold again. This old man Qiong sold some food and thought to himself that it would be a great deal for him to bring this child to this hospital. He only wanted to find a good doctor to have a look at.

The aunt said, also sighed, then lowered her voice and whispered into Xi Mengyao's ear.

"I heard that the doctor mistakenly turned Ge Gen and Zi Su Leaf into Plantago Seed and Gold Coin Grass. This couple gave the medicine to the child to eat. The child would always tremble after eating it. Before dawn the next day, he was already dead from the cold!"

"There's actually such a thing!" Xi Mengyao was shocked.

The aunt nodded and turned back to look at the couple before pointing at the bamboo mat in their hands.

"I've met this couple twice. It wasn't easy for them to get their hands on it. The whole family originally thought that life was promising, so they only hoped to work harder and rent two acres of land tomorrow …" "Now that their hopes are gone and they are old, I don't know if they can be born in the future …"

After Xi Mengyao heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

However, she couldn't blame this person for his ignorance. She could only sigh in her heart. When she looked at the two of them, their hair had already turned white, she was afraid that they were also sad.

"It's all because of the quack doctor. If it were a rich family, it wouldn't have been like this." Someone said this and even spat.

Xi Mengyao wanted to look, but she did not see the person who spoke. She only extended her head out, and saw clearly that the couple was carrying a child wrapped in straw mats. The child was also motionless, his small hands and feet revealed because of the couple's actions.

The girl immediately put the child's hands and feet back, but Xi Mengyao saw that the child's entire body was covered with bruises.

That was true. He had been dead for quite some time.

Xi Mengyao sighed, but just as she was thinking about it, she decided to give the two of them some money and let them bury the child.

At this moment, a person suddenly walked out from the restaurant in front of them.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be the owner of the infirmary. He wore a large red robe with extremely good clothing, and there were even patterns of ingots embroidered with gold thread. It was obvious at a glance that he was a merchant from the city.

However, he didn't know why he would open such a clinic.

He stopped in front of the entrance of the infirmary with his eyebrows raised and his hands on his hips. The flesh on his fat face was quivering with every movement he made.

After he stood still, he pointed at the couple and scolded them, "What are those two poor beggars crying about at the door! You guys took the money to buy the medicine and I took the medicine to collect the money, so even if we were even, your child's life is too short and he died, but here he is, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves! "

"You, you unscrupulous businessman, have caused the death of my son!" When the woman saw this, she was about to pounce at him.

However, the fat boss sneered, "How can you say that!?" What was killed, ah! Do you want a child? Come, let me accompany a child. There's a little beggar in the corner. Hurry up and go back, stop making trouble for me. If I tell you, I won't give you a single cent for the money! "Come to my place to blackmail my Gold Alloyed Panther, you're really courting death!"

When had the couple ever seen such a battle? They were at a loss for words.

It was the boss. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the Attendant in the shop hurried over with a stick in hand.

The couple ate a few sticks, but they didn't allow it.

The old man's eyes were already red. He got up and grabbed the fatty with one hand as he wailed, "Return my son to me. I want you to repay my son's life!"

"My son clearly had the cold, but you gave him the hot medicine instead! You mediocre doctors, I'll fight you to the death! "

As he spoke, he used his head to ram his head against the fat boss.

The Attendant didn't expect that the strong Attendant would grab the man. The man was already middle-aged, so how could he be his opponent? Attendant snorted, pushed with his hands and kicked with his legs, pushing the man down to the ground.

The man's head hit the brick with a bang, breaking it and bleeding profusely again.

The man clutched his head, howling in tears as he prepared to charge again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a bellow came from the side. "What are you all doing!?"

Everyone looked over and saw a group of bailiffs patrolling the street. They seemed to have noticed the commotion and rushed over as well.

Pushing the crowd aside, the bailiff saw what was happening and gave a cold snort. He turned to the couple and said, "Long street is making a ruckus, why aren't you leaving? Be careful I don't want to catch you in jail!"
