Chapter 213: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 53
Lin Sheng also witnessed the extent to which the people of Southern Liang worshipped the descendants of the God of War King Liang. He estimated that no matter who Doctor Liu gave the little fat baby to, they would do their best to raise the little guy.
She glanced around the room again, but didn't see the person she was looking for, so she asked in confusion, "Xiaoxiao, did you see the prefect just now?" Was it because she was dazzled?
I was so busy killing people just now that I only caught a vague glimpse of the skinny old man coming out with a sword to chop people, and there were many people protecting him.
803 said with certainty, "He seemed to have been seriously injured and was carried away by his men."
At this moment, an old man who looked familiar staggered up to Lin Sheng. Without saying a word, he grabbed the hem of her blood-stained shorts and walked towards the prefectural government office.
On the way, he quickly explained in a hoarse voice: "I am the personal butler of the prefect. He was seriously injured in the battle. The doctor said he won't live much longer. He wants to see you before he dies."
Lin Sheng's curiosity was aroused again. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the prefect want to see General Liang more? What could a commoner like him, who had nothing to do with him, see?
Did he want to ask himself why he only robbed the prefect's backyard last time and didn't kill anyone? But it was incredible that he could recognize me at a glance, unless he knew his own mother!
I heard from the elders in Linjia Village that the original owner’s face looked 7,8% to % similar to her mother’s.
It was obvious that the old butler was extremely anxious, and he struggled desperately to move his legs over there. Unfortunately, perhaps due to his long-term lack of exercise and his fat body, there were two times when, if Lin Sheng had not quickly pulled him back, the old man would have probably knocked out all his teeth.
[Host, this old man's face is flushed red, and he seems to be fainting. Is he unable to run anymore?]
Lin Sheng changed her mind and decided, forget it, the old man might as well be exhausted to death before they reach the destination. She simply stretched out her arms and pulled hard, lifting the man up. Then she spread her legs and ran towards the backyard of the prefectural government office. She had been there once before in the dark and was very familiar with the route.
The poor old butler was so frightened that he couldn't even make a sound. He wanted to faint, but he thought of his master who was already on his deathbed, so he could only grit his teeth to keep himself awake.
When Lin Sheng, whose face and body were covered in blood, rushed into the backyard holding an old man in her hands, no one dared to stop her.
The court doctor who was guarding in the room was also startled when he saw the woman rushing in. When he saw clearly that the old man held in the air was the head steward, he realized that this woman might be the one the master wanted to see.
He hurried forward with other servants, rescued the butler who was about to faint, and carried him out.
In an instant, Lin Sheng and the prefect lying on the bed were the only ones left in the room.
Lin Sheng was filled with emotion when he saw the prefect like this. The last time he saw him, although he was asleep, he could tell that he was a well-maintained, very handsome middle-aged man who looked to be only in his 40s.
Only a few days later, he looked like an old man in his twilight years, with most of his hair turning white.
"Why do you want to see me?" The reason why he was not killed before and some assets were left to him was also because the people of Dingzhou City had a very high opinion of him!
He was fair in judging cases and was not afraid of power. What was even more rare was that he was not greedy at all and never took advantage of the people. Any money he earned from speculation would be used to strengthen city walls, build canals and other things that benefited the people.
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng took out a tube of nutrient solution from the purse on his waist, which had been repackaged for the convenience of the children. He quickly fed it to the prefect. Before the other party could react, he took out a silver needle to help him absorb the medicine.
In the blink of an eye, the man's face became noticeably red.
The prefect, who was originally immersed in his memories, felt the changes in his body and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care much about it, thinking that he was just experiencing a last burst of energy.
He did not directly answer Lin Sheng's question, but said with a smile: "You look like Zhenniang, but your personalities are very different..."
Lin Sheng also heard a heart-breaking story from him.
"My father died early, and my widowed mother supported my studies by washing clothes for others. Unfortunately, my grades were not good, and I did not pass the examination to become a student on government stipend. I could not get the two taels of silver per month, so I could only continue my studies while copying books.
Unfortunately, God blesses me with unexpected events. When I finally saved enough money for admission to the academy, my mother was walking carelessly and bumped into a nobleman who was out for fun. She was caught by the evil slaves and beaten half to death. If I hadn’t been kind enough to meet Brother Qiao who was passing by, I…”
He had just turned 20 years old at that time, and Brother Qiao, Lin Sheng's grandfather, was still a high-spirited man in his early 30s. At first sight, the two felt that they hit it off and became sworn brothers immediately.
It was also at that time that he learned from Brother Qiao that his wife had died young, and because he loved his wife so much that he didn't want to remarry, he raised his daughter alone.
When he met Zhenniang for the first time, there was no particularly bloody plot of falling in love at first sight. The girl was only 13 years old at the time, and was raised by Brother Qiao to be outgoing and lively.
At that time, he had to study and take care of his mother, and he really couldn't spare the time to think about matters between men and women.
When everything was on track and he was over 21 years old and had to consider his lifelong affairs, he suddenly realized that he didn't want to marry any other woman except Zhenniang.
But there is a huge generation gap between the two of them. Brother Qiao let him live with his mother in his house because he trusted him. What would he think if he knew that he was shamelessly coveting his daughter who had not even reached the age of marriage?
The most important thing is that he is now penniless, still owes Brother Qiao money, and his mother has always been in poor health. Even girls from ordinary families are unwilling to marry him, let alone Zhenniang? Is he going to let that little girl who has been living a life of luxury with him?
Thinking of the lively little girl and not wanting to delay other women, he could only use the excuse of giving priority to his studies to keep putting off his mother. At the same time, he also planned that after he passed the provincial examination and became a juren, Zhenniang would also be of age. Then he would go to Brother Qiao to propose marriage, and he would have some confidence.
As a result, when he knew that he had passed the imperial examination, he ran to the Qiao family with gifts full of joy...
