The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

When Hu Luanfei wanted to go forward to comfort Jiang, the old woman not far behind him knelt down with a plop and said, "Madam, I have something to ask of you."

Hu Luanfei, who had received modern education, was so angry that his hair stood on end.

How could I have the virtue to make an old man kneel down to me?

She hurriedly bent down and gently helped the old woman, but the old woman refused to get up.

"If you don't agree, I will kneel down and die."

Hu Luanfei's head grew bigger. "Please stand up and talk."

The old woman's body seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy that even the strong Hu Luanfei couldn't move it at all.

There was no choice but to kneel down like the old woman.

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and her eyes met with Hu Luanfei's. Neither of them spoke.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality only a few dozen seconds had passed.

The old woman slowly lowered her head, like a piece of rotten wood that could turn into powder at any time.

"I know it's selfish to do this. But I can't help it. I'm old and can't take care of my grandchildren for long."

Hu Luanfei had never encountered the situation of entrusting an orphan to someone else, and was at a loss for a moment.

"I…"

The old woman interrupted with tears in her eyes: "All my relatives were washed away by the flood. His parents are gone too. Look at my old bones. How long can I hold on?"

She is the only family in the area. If she can’t get up one day, her three-year-old grandson will cry for his father and mother, but there is no one there. Even her dearest grandmother, though by her side, will be helpless...

If someone dies, there won't even be anyone to collect the body. How miserable it is.

We are all made of flesh and blood, so how can we not feel the pain of this?

Hu Luanfei felt very uncomfortable just thinking about it. If one day she suddenly saw a child lying next to a rotting corpse and also without a breath, she thought, she would go crazy.

"Grandma, don't worry. Let's go into the mountains tomorrow and see if we can find your son and daughter-in-law."

The old woman's mouth was slightly open and her reaction was a little slow.

Hu Luanfei helped her up and brushed the dust off her body. "If she's alive, you have to see her body. If she's dead, you have to see her body. Don't give in or get discouraged when there's no definite result."

The old woman was completely convinced by Hu Luanfei, and she nestled in his arms, crying like a child.

That day, the two stayed at the old woman's house.

Hu Luanfei ordered Jiang Shi to secretly go to the nearby mountains and forests to see if he could hunt some game.

I looked for some edible wild vegetables nearby.

The little baby may miss his mother too much.

Whenever he sees Hu Luanfei, he always likes to stick to her.

Hu Luanfei was digging wild vegetables, and he followed behind, asking questions.

Hu Luanfei was going to wash up, so he sat on a small stool outside the door and waited.

When his grandmother called him, he didn't even respond.

When Hu Luan flew out, he ran over happily, leaning against the door frame with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Women probably all have a maternal instinct.

The moment she saw the child relying on her, she naturally wanted to be good to him.

"Do you want your aunt to help you take a bath?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the little kid's mouth widened even more.

"want!"

……

For dinner, a table full of delicious dishes was cooked.

The little kid sat between Hu Luanfei and Jiang Shi, as excited as a monkey, clapping his hands left and touching people right.

She seemed to like Jiang Shi very much and always wanted to sit on his lap.

Jiang Shiye was still a half-grown child and didn't understand what a little kid was thinking.

Hu Luanfei was different. In order to fulfill the baby's wish, he picked him up and put him in Jiang Shi's arms.

Jiang Shi was startled at first, but when he felt the baby crawling into his arms, he subconsciously hugged him tightly.

Outside the house, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Shadows moved in the wind, accompanied by the crows' cries.

Inside the house, there was peace and harmony.

Hu Luanfei briefly forgot about Qi Siliao's disappearance and told stories to the baby while lying on the bed.

As they talked, they ignored the time, and by the time they fell asleep, it was already the middle of the night.

The silent room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was tired after a whole day and was falling asleep.

Suddenly, the shabby door made a slight noise, and under the bright moonlight, a dark shadow tiptoed towards the head of the kang.

It touched the edge of the kang to determine where the person was, then changed its destination and touched the pillow, as if searching for something.

Hu Luanfei, who was always wary of unfamiliar environments, did not sleep well. The extra smell in the air made her feel sick, and she slowly woke up from her dream.

When I opened my eyes, the black shadow had just moved to another position and started rummaging through the shabby wardrobe.

Hu Luanfei was immediately frightened, and just as he was about to stand up and shout, the black shadow suddenly paused, as if it had noticed something, and quickly turned to face the warm kang.

Hu Luanfei immediately played dead and pretended that he was unaware of the intrusion.

When I calmed down, I remembered that there was a baby and an old woman beside me, and I couldn't help but feel frightened.

If she had spoken out rashly just now, not only would she have woken up the child, but she would have also frightened the intruder.

By then, no one will be able to get help from heaven or earth.

After waiting for a long time, the room was quiet. Hu Luanfei thought the intruder had left and quietly opened his eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Hu Luanfei even had the urge to scream at the top of her lungs.

"I know you're not asleep." The intruder chuckled, laughing like a devil from hell. He held the big knife and lifted Hu Luanfei's chin, "I haven't seen such a beautiful woman in a long time."

The guy didn't leave at all. Instead, he lay on the edge of the kang and watched her pretending with great interest.

hateful!

Where is Jiang Shi!

"Still thinking about your little lover?"

Hu Luanfei said nothing and looked unfriendly.

The shadow laughed and said, "If he knew you were in my hands, he would probably die with regret..."

Before he could finish his words, a cold sword was pressed against his neck, "Stay away from her."

The dark shadow narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his gaze from her angry face to the cold sword.

The sword is so sharp that the slightest touch will immediately cause the skin and flesh to be torn apart.

Looking up along the sword, he suddenly felt incredible, "You are not dead?"

"I told you to stay away from her!"

The black shadow put away the knife, but was not afraid: "Okay, okay, don't be impulsive, I'll leave."

The man fought with the shadow and stood in front of Hu Luanfei. He seemed to be injured and his movements were a little slow. There was even a moment when he almost fainted.

Hu Luanfei immediately held his waist, but felt wet clothes, and squeezed them slightly, squeezing out water.

But, that was not water.

She had smelled blood.

The person in front of him tried his best to endure and pressed forward step by step, and the black shadow was forced back to the door.

Under the moonlight, Hu Luanfei could see clearly that the person who came to save her was Jiang Shi.

He was different from usual, with several more injuries on his waist, and his steps were not as steady as before.

Hu Luan flew off the kang and fumbled to light the oil lamp on the table. In less than a second, the room was lit up.

Jiang Shi had his back to her, so she couldn't see his expression clearly.

But even if the shadow walked out of the door, it was almost certain to be recognizable.

"Jiang Shi, be careful!" Jiang Shi was hit as soon as he shouted.

The black shadow waved his hand, and a cloud of dust flew away in front of Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi was unable to dodge and inhaled most of it, choking him so much that he couldn't open his eyes and his nose was blocked, but he still held on.
