I just want to rob you of your luck

The two women in front seemed to have noticed something was wrong. One of them found her purse had been stolen and shouted to the people around her in panic, "Go catch the pickpocket. If you catch him, I will give you a big reward."

Lin Jiuer immediately grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran out after the little guy.

She is naturally warm-hearted and willing to help others, it's almost like a conditioned reflex.

All the physical exercise she had done for so many days was not in vain. Soon she grabbed the short man's clothes and knocked him to the ground.

At this time, Yu'er and Qiao'er also chased after them, panting.

"Master, are you okay?"

This place has been surrounded by people watching the fun.

The little guy had a dirty face and was sitting on the ground, holding the exquisite purse tightly in his hand.

Lin Jiuer said: "I'm fine."

She looked at the little man and said, "Why don't you return the things to that lady? Otherwise I will report it to the police."

When the man heard this, his eyes turned red and he put his purse on the ground reluctantly.

Lin Jiuer squatted down and looked at him, only to find that he was just a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Why do you want to pickpocket? But what's the problem at home?"

The boy spoke up this time: "My mother is sick and my family has no money to buy medicine."

Lin Jiuer sighed. In this era, many people from poor families died because they could not afford medical treatment.

This child is quite filial, but he was probably forced to do so.

She did good deeds just to have a clear conscience, so she took out a five-liang silver ingot and stuffed it into the child's hand.

"Take this to treat your mother. Go back quickly."

The child looked at the silver ingot in his hand and kowtowed three times to Lin Jiuer excitedly: "Thank you, Madam Dongzi. I will definitely pay you back when I make money in the future. I wonder which mansion Madam is from?"

Lin Jiuer is now a married woman, so naturally she wears her hair in a bun, but she looks very young, so she is called Young Madam.

"Forget it. I'll just consider it as a good deed. You don't have to pay it back. Go find a doctor for your mother."

Lin Jiuer didn't dare to give him too much, for fear that someone would take notice of her or that it would breed his greed.

Five taels of silver can be used to find a doctor here to get some medicine, which is enough for an ordinary family to live for a period of time.

The boy named Dongzi kowtowed again, stood up, pushed through the crowd and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Jiuer picked up the purse on the ground, turned around and saw the two women coming towards her.

One of them looked to be in his thirties, dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an outstanding temperament, while the other one was dressed like a nanny. They were probably a master and a servant.

She smiled and handed the purse over: "Madam, this purse has been recovered. Please keep it well."

The woman in brocade clothes took the purse, opened it quickly, and took out a jade pendant from it.

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she patted her chest with one hand: "Fortunately, the jade pendant is still there, my poor Wanqing."

At this time, the nanny beside her looked at Lin Jiuer with gratitude: "Thank you, Madam, for saving me. The things in this purse are very important to my Madam. I really don't know how to thank you."

Lin Jiuer waved her hand: "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. Now that Madam has found the lost property, I should leave."

At this time, the lady also recovered and looked at Lin Jiuer with gratitude and admiration in her eyes: "Afang, give this lady a hundred taels of silver notes. Thank you for helping me get the purse back."

The girl named Afang next to her quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Lin Jiuer.

Lin Jiuer was shocked. Was this lady so generous? It seemed that her family must be either rich or noble.

Although she loves money, she really doesn't deserve so much.

Besides, she is not short of money now. She originally did good deeds just to make herself feel at ease. If she accepted so much money, wouldn’t she feel guilty?

Lin Jiuer declined politely, "Madam, you are too polite. This is just a small matter, so how can I accept so much money from you?"

After saying that, she was about to leave, when she suddenly noticed that the jade pendant in the noble lady's hand looked familiar.

"Madam, this jade pendant looks familiar. I have a similar one. What a coincidence."

Lin Jiuer remembered that the original owner also had a similar jade pendant, which she always wore around her neck. It seemed that she had worn it since she was a child, so she always wore it and never took it off.

The master and servant were shocked when they heard this. The nanny looked at Lin Jiuer carefully, and became more and more excited.

"Madam, look at how this lady looks..."

The noble lady asked anxiously, "Can you show me your jade pendant?"

Lin Jiuer's heart was moved. No way? Could it be that the original owner had some extraordinary life experience?

She also encountered such a bloody plot?

She took out the jade pendant from her collar.

The lady stepped forward, grabbed the jade pendant and took a look at it. Tears instantly flowed out of her eyes. With trembling hands, she put the two jade pendants together.

A magical scene appeared. The two jade pendants actually merged into a round jade pendant.

Lin Jiuer has always been puzzled as to why her jade pendant is not in the shape of a regular rectangle or circle, but rather in the shape of a fish that is half of the Tai Chi Bagua pattern.

It turned out that hers was just one of the two jade pairs.

The lady hugged Lin Jiuer and said, "My Wanqing, I finally found you!"

Nanny Fang at the side could not help but burst into tears. For so many years, the Madam had not been able to eat or sleep well because of her daughter's disappearance, and she had gradually become estranged from the Duke, allowing the concubine to get the power of housekeeper.

That’s great. Now that the young lady has been found, Madam and the Duke should be able to put aside their past grudges and get back together, right?

Lin Jiuer and Yu'er Qiao'er were both a little confused. Did she really guess it right?

She coughed: "Um, ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Nanny Fang quickly reminded her, "Madam, we are still on the street. Why don't we find a place to discuss this in detail?"

When the noble lady heard this, she quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and took Lin Jiuer's hand: "Afang is right, let's go to my teahouse and talk about it."

Lin Jiuer was pulled into a teahouse not far away.

When the shopkeeper saw the boss coming, he quickly arranged a secluded private room for him.

The noble lady held Lin Jiuer's hand tightly throughout the whole process, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

Yu'er and Qiao'er were left outside the private room.

After the shopkeeper brought a pot of good tea, the lady looked at Lin Jiuer with tears in her eyes.

"Child, do you have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the left side of your waist?"

Lin Jiuer nodded blankly. The original owner did have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her waist.

It seems that the original owner is most likely the daughter of this noble lady.

Aunt Fang asked tentatively, "Would you please show us the birthmark on your waist?"

This is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She must be examined carefully and there must be no mistakes.

Lin Jiuer didn't have any scruples and untied her belt directly. It was summer time and her clothes were very thin, revealing her red bellyband underneath.

Lin Jiuer turned sideways and pulled her bellyband open a little, revealing the soft flesh on her left waist.

The lady and Nanny Fang came closer and took a closer look. They looked at each other and instantly burst into tears of joy.

That’s right, it’s her.
