After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

He scolded, "Go away! This is not the place for you. Don't be an eyesore here."

However, Shen Bingning was tied up by ropes and tossed around all night, and her anger was instantly ignited. She stood up straight and said in an unquestionable dignity: "Who do you say is a beggar? I want to see Madam Yu, take me there immediately!"

The servant was stunned when he heard this, realizing that the woman in front of him not only knew the identity of his master, but also spoke in a firm tone, obviously not an ordinary citizen.

He hesitated for a moment, looking Shen Bingning up and down, and his previous contempt gradually subsided. He changed his tone and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report."

Hu Zi, who was standing aside, had a young face full of confusion. When he heard the three words "Madam Yu", he muttered to himself that the person living in this mansion was a noble from the palace, and he couldn't help but become nervous.

"Sister, who are you? Why do you know the Empress in the palace?"

His voice trembled slightly, full of curiosity and confusion.

Shen Bingning smiled bitterly in her heart. It was more than just knowing her. She was actually a favorite concubine in the palace.

Looking at Hu Zi's surprised expression, she was worried that her true identity would scare this innocent child, so she decided to keep it secret for the time being and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, I have absolutely no ill intentions. You have helped me a lot, and I will remember you."

The servant quickly returned, followed by a girl with an anxious look on her face. That was Qing'er.

When Qing'er saw Shen Bingning, her tears burst out instantly. She knelt on the ground and sobbed, "My Lady, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you there alone."

Her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been worried all night.

Shen Bingning looked at Qing'er distressedly, with mixed feelings in her heart. She quickly helped her up and comforted her softly: "Look, I'm fine, aren't I? Don't cry, everything is over."

She wanted to pull Qing'er up herself, but she felt weak in her limbs and hungry like a tide. She had no choice but to stroke Qing'er's face and said softly, "I'm very hungry now. Go find me something to eat first."

Hearing this, Qing'er quickly stood up, wiping her tears while responding, "I will go and prepare a meal for you, Madam."

At this time, Madam Yu came hurriedly with the help of her maid Huamei, her face showing fatigue that could not be concealed: "Sister Shen, you are finally back safely! Ever since Qing'er came back crying and said that you were kidnapped, I immediately sent people to search everywhere. I am so glad that you are okay."

Shen Bingning looked at Madam Yu gratefully, and then turned her gaze to Hu Zi who was standing beside her, only to see him stunned by the series of changes. "This little brother is my savior." She explained softly, then gently patted Hu Zi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Hu Zi, have you come to your senses?"

Hu Zi fell to his knees as if he had been electrocuted, and shouted: "I pay my respects to the two ladies!"

Madam Yu was amused by Hu Zi's sudden action and said in a friendly manner, "Hurry up and get up. You saved Madam Shen, which means you saved us. You should be rewarded."

As soon as Madam Yu finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Shen Bingning, waiting for her decision.

After all, it was Shen Bingning who was rescued, so it was natural for her to decide on the reward.

Shen Bingning was short of money, and the only two ingots of silver she had were obviously not enough to express her gratitude. She thought about it and made a more considerate suggestion: "This child has walked such a long way with me, let him eat something first.

As for the reward, I will think of other ways."

In fact, Shen Bingning didn't want to simply repay Hu Zi with money. Since he was so obsessed with medical skills, why not use this as a reward?

Upon seeing this, Madam Yu readily agreed to the proposal.

After washing and dressing herself up, Shen Bingning sat at the dining table and devoured the food in front of her like a whirlwind. Because she was too hungry, she ate too quickly and accidentally choked.

Qing'er was quick to hand over a cup of warm water: "My Lady, please eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Shen Bingning took a sip of water and finally swallowed the food. The hunger in her stomach was slightly relieved, and she began to slow down her eating.

"What are the arrangements for Hu Zi?" she asked with concern.

Although Hu Zi was just a half-grown child, there were differences between boys and girls. Although Madam Yu allowed him to enter the mansion, she could not let him enter the backyard at will.

Qing'er replied, "I have already visited him. Madam Yu prepared food for him, but he seems to be a little uncomfortable."

"Although this child has a miserable life, he has a kind heart."

Shen Bingning sighed.

Qing'er looked guilty: "From now on, I will definitely regard Huzi as my benefactor. He saved the queen, which means he saved me!"

Shen Bingning swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Qing'er seriously: "Qing'er, my being kidnapped has nothing to do with you. I asked you to go first to seek help. You don't need to blame yourself."

Qing'er's eyes were red: "It is I who failed to protect the master, I should be punished."

The concept of loyalty is deeply rooted in Qing'er's heart. Shen Bingning knew that this could not be changed overnight, so she didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, she noticed the scar on Qing'er's wrist and frowned: "What's the matter with the scar on your wrist? Did Madam Yu punish you?"

Qing'er quickly shook her head and denied: "No, I bumped into it accidentally."

The scar was actually caused by Qing'er accidentally falling on a wooden shelf in the street market when she was in a panic and was rushing back home to seek help and hurriedly taking people out to look for Shen Bingning.

In order not to worry her master, she chose to keep it secret.

Shen Bingning's face was full of confusion, "Where did the collision occur?" If Qing'er's sleeve hadn't accidentally slipped off, the scar would have been hard to find.

Qing'er still insisted on her statement: "It was really my own carelessness. Now you are safe and sound, my lady. This little injury of mine is nothing."

Shen Bingning was a little surprised by Qing'er's stubbornness. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she already had some guesses in her mind.

"I'll get you some medicine later."

She anticipated that Qing'er might refuse, so she gave an order in advance: "Don't say no!"

Qing'er smiled and replied softly, "As you wish."

Shen Bingning finished her meal and was about to take a nap when Miss Yu suddenly came to visit.

"Regarding the incident of you being attacked, I only quietly ordered the people in the mansion to investigate privately and did not make it public. After all, if such a thing were to be spread out, it would be detrimental to a woman's reputation."

Miss Yu paused for a moment and added, "As for whether to tell the Master and have him track down the real culprit behind this, it's up to you to decide."

Both of them were thoughtful people and understood that this was definitely not the work of ordinary robbers. Miss Yu even vaguely guessed the possible manipulator behind the scenes.

Shen Bingning didn't hesitate too much and said to Miss Yu: "Fortunately, I am not injured. The young master is very busy, so there is no need to trouble him with such a small matter."

Miss Yu had a gentle smile on her lips, and her eyes were shining with insight into the world.
