The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily
Chapter 328: Beggar Alley, Meet an Old Friend
"This is……"
After the Marshal's carriage left, the beggars used the dim light of early morning to gradually approach Lu Yitong, who was lying at the entrance of the alley with blood all over his body and dying.
"help me……"
Curled up in the muddy water, Lu Yitong was confused and aware of his situation.
He suddenly grabbed the wrist of a little beggar next to him, and begged desperately with all his strength, "Save me, my home is... Shuxiang Lane! I... I have money! Save me..."
After saying this, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Hey!"
Seeing that Lu Yitong was silent, the beggars were shocked. Fortunately, an older beggar came over to check his breath, and then they came to their senses and dragged Lu Yitong from the dirty and cold puddle to a slightly drier place nearby.
After checking the injuries on Lu Yitong's body, they thought that Lu Yitong had money on him, so they touched his arms and cuffs.
But Lu Yitong had just changed into all his new clothes in the stable, and time was urgent, so how could he have the energy to take out the silver from his dirty and smelly old clothes?
So, when the beggars found out that Lu Yitong didn't have a single penny on his body, they all became discouraged.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
They wanted to save Lu Yitong, but Lu Yitong had no money.
They just met by chance, and beggars like them couldn't possibly collect money for a stranger's medical treatment, right?
They can only endure their own illnesses.
"Forget it……"
Without much hesitation or struggle, the beggars yawned and dispersed. They closed their eyes and lay down on the straw mats again, adhering to the principle of out of sight, out of mind, and were about to go back to sleep.
At this time, there was a sound of "ah".
As soon as a little beggar lay down, he quickly got up again.
In the morning light, he carefully looked at Lu Yitong's eyebrows again. Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have seen this man in Maoer Lane last year.
It seems that this is still a juren?
At the same time, Lujia Village.
In order to prevent Xiao Qintang and the Xiao family from finding her, and in order not to delay Lu Yitong's attempt to get close to the Hua family, Old Lady Zhao locked Shuxiang up in the Lu residence and returned to her hometown, back to her ancestral home in Lujia Village.
Now Lujia Village is very lively.
Under the guidance of Lu Yitong's uncles, all the sisters-in-law in Lujia Village, big and small, showed extraordinary enthusiasm towards Old Lady Zhao.
Not only did they take turns playing mahjong with her all day and all night long, but they also smiled earnestly and flattered her all night long.
One said that they had known that Lu Yitong had a promising future, and the other said that they had seen that Lu Yitong was a promising talent. Old Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she wished that every wrinkle on her face was filled with pride.
While touching the cards, she raised her chin and said proudly with a nonchalant look, "Of course not. He has been smart since he was young. He can memorize books that other people can't finish memorizing in three days.
Otherwise, how come he was the only one who passed the imperial examination when none of the other students passed? Isn't it because he is smart?"
"Yes!"
The sisters-in-law who were sitting around the card table immediately agreed with a smile, and said something nice, praising Old Lady Zhao, "This is a great achievement. He is handsome, and has been liked by girls since he was a child.
Look, even the daughters of the general’s mansion are crying and shouting that they want to marry us and become our wives…”
"Hey, what does the young lady look like?"
Someone in the crowd asked jokingly, "Compared to Li's niece Xiuxiu, who is prettier?"
"Did you say that?"
Sister Li smiled and fed another card to Old Lady Zhao. She glanced at the sister-in-law who was speaking with a bit of reproach and shook her head modestly, "She is the daughter of the general's mansion, a daughter of a wealthy family, and she is spoiled. How can our Xiuxiu compare to her?"
"Where are you talking?"
Old Mrs. Zhao felt a little guilty.
After all, before Lu Yitong passed the imperial examination, everyone in the village thought that Lu Yitong and Xiuxiu from the next village would be a couple. Who would have thought that later on, this good thing would be intercepted by Xiao Qintang.
Although Xiuxiu is indeed not a good match for Lu Yitong given his current status, Mrs. Zhao felt a little embarrassed when someone suddenly mentioned her.
So she coughed twice and waved her hands, "Ah, what's the point of marrying a virtuous woman instead of just considering her looks?
No matter how beautiful she is, can she make a living?
When it comes to being virtuous and managing the household, she is far behind Xiuxiu."
"It's normal for a young lady from a wealthy family to not care about worldly matters..." Smiling, Li fed Old Lady Zhao another card and then unintentionally probed, "I heard that young lady just gave birth to a child? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, or what's her name? Why didn't they bring the child back for the ancestors of the Lu family to see?"
"Hi, a girl."
Speaking of Xiao Qintang's daughter, Old Lady Zhao curled her lips and said, "She just gave birth to a child and is now recuperating at her parents' home. As for the name, we'll choose it after she finishes the recuperation and we meet her."
"Ah? You're staying at your parents' house to recuperate after childbirth?"
Sister Li looked surprised and observed the expression of Old Lady Zhao. "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since the eldest daughter married into the Lu family, isn't she a member of the Lu family? No matter what the Lu family does, she should abide by the law and stay in the Lu family.
Running back to my parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, isn't that simply embarrassing?
She didn't even think about how the officials would react if they knew about it. "
"Alas, there is nothing I can do..."
It was difficult to say that she couldn't control Xiao Qintang. Old Mrs. Zhao sighed and could only find an excuse. "Who asked her mother to die? I can't stop her from attending her mother's funeral..."
"Eh……"
Hearing this, a sister-in-law in the crowd curiously asked Old Lady Zhao, "Sister Zhao, I heard that Yitong's brother from her mother's family seemed to have killed an adult from the Hua family recently. Is this true?"
"probably……"
Old Lady Zhao touched the cards and curled her lips indifferently, "Why else would he commit suicide out of fear of punishment?"
"Tsk tsk..."
Sister Li sighed twice and said meaningfully, "This rich family may look splendid, but when it comes to living, they are not as comfortable as our small family."
"Who says it isn't?"
Hearing the hidden meaning of Li's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao was delighted and said casually, "In fact, when Yitong first wanted to marry the young lady of the Xiao family, I didn't agree.
But he couldn't resist the lady's insistence on getting married.
Besides, as mothers, how can we be more stubborn than our sons?
Alas, if I had known it would be so troublesome now, I would have made the decision and let him marry Xiuxiu..."
"Mrs. Zhao..."
Mrs. Zhao's heart moved and she was about to speak.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. The maids guarding the door rushed in in a panic and reported to Old Lady Zhao, "Old Madam, something bad has happened at home..."
