Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 119 How Could It Be Her
Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Before dawn, the morning light has quietly arrived, covering the earth with a veil.
It was early autumn, and the night air was chilly. He curled up against the wall and dozed off. She hadn't waited for the man she was looking for the previous day, but she hadn't returned. She was afraid the two would find ways to seduce Tianbao, and that he would give her that disappointed and reproachful look again.
On a tree not far away, Han Jue stretched out his stiff limbs and stared at He who was sleeping soundly with cold eyes. Yesterday, he was afraid of losing her, so he stared at her without blinking for the whole afternoon, and then the whole night.
He had never suffered such hardship before. Even when he was living in the pawnshop, he still had food to eat, drink and a place to sleep. At this moment, he wished he could cut He into pieces and chop her into meat paste.
With a creak, the back door of the Marquis' Mansion was opened, and maids and old women came in and out one after another.
He rubbed her sleepy eyes hard, perked herself up, and began to look at every face.
"Gurgle~" He's stomach kept growling. She hadn't eaten since she came out of the inn yesterday, and she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
Just at this moment, a young maid walked past He carrying a food box. The aroma emanating from the food box was captivating.
He couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and unconsciously leaned towards the maid, saying with a drooling face, "Miss, what's in your box?"
The little maid stopped and gave He a kind smile, saying softly, "Auntie, are you begging here?"
She hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a steaming bun from her lunch box and handed it to He, saying quickly, "Take the bun and leave! High-ranking officials live around here, so you're not allowed to beg here. If the servants find out, they'll take you to the officials!"
He shuddered, and she immediately explained: "I'm not begging, I'm looking for someone."
But she couldn't help herself. She quickly reached out to take the steamed bun, put it under her nose and sniffed it fiercely. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly remembered that she didn't take the silver back yesterday, and she didn't know if those two people had given Tianbao food! Thinking of this, she carefully put the steamed bun into her arms.
The little maid asked in confusion, "Madam, who are you looking for?"
He's face was filled with a smile: "The person I'm looking for is Aunt Hua."
The little maid smiled brightly: "Are you looking for Aunt Hua from Yaofang Pavilion? I know her. What do you want to talk to her about? I can help you pass on the message!"
He Shi didn't know where Yaofang Pavilion was, so she decided to take a gamble and whispered, "Good girl, if you can see her, tell her that He Sulian is waiting for her at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion."
The little maidservant nodded obediently, indicating that she would definitely convey the message, and then walked happily into the back door of the Marquis' Mansion.
After entering the room, she quickly walked to a secluded corner and reported everything to Xie Qingli.
Xie Qingli frowned and pondered for a moment before he said softly, "Go and pass on the message as she said!"
The little maid bowed and quickly went to Yaofang Pavilion.
When Aunt Hua heard what the little maid said, she was shocked. She had been trying hard to find any news about Zhaoxing's family for so long, so why would He come to Beijing now?
Although she was anxious, she looked very calm as she sent the maid away. She then ordered Xiao Tao to go to the back door of the Marquis's mansion and take He to a nearby teahouse and place her in a private room.
Only after Xiaotao came back to report did Aunt Hua hurried out and hurried to the private room of the teahouse.
In the adjacent private room, Xie Qingli, Leng Shuang and Han Jue were leaning against the wall, eavesdropping on the movements next door.
When Aunt Hua entered the room, she saw only a dark and haggard old woman who seemed even older than herself. She wondered if Xiao Tao was not doing her job well.
The old woman knelt down in front of Aunt Hua with a plop, and said with a sob, "Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law finally sees you..."
Aunt Hua was shocked and looked carefully at the person in front of her.
Xie Qingli, who was sitting next door, was equally shocked. It was as if a thunderclap had exploded above her head. A voice in her heart kept repeating: How could it be her? She is just a little old woman, why did she do such a big thing?
In the next room, Aunt Hua carefully identified He and finally recognized her. She was surprised and asked, "How did you become like this? Where are Zhaoxing and Tianbao?"
He hugged Aunt Hua's thighs and choked with sobs, "Mother-in-law, please save Tianbao, please save Tianbao quickly!"
Aunt Hua's face was gloomy. She sat down on the chair and said coldly, "Speak clearly, what happened to Tianbao?"
Thinking of the bitterness of the past two months, He burst into tears. "Two months ago, Tianbao and I were living well in the county. I don't know why two people broke into our home, kidnapped us, and tortured us in various ways along the way."
"Until two days ago, two knights rescued us from those two men. But, those knights said they also needed to eat and wear clothes, and they wouldn't do business without capital. They needed, they needed one hundred taels to redeem Tianbao..."
Han Jue next door widened his eyes and cursed in his heart, he clearly said fifty taels, this He family is so cunning, he even dared to rob others!
Aunt Hua looked at He with suspicion. Although she had not seen her daughter-in-law for many years, she knew her greedy nature very well.
The other party wanted money, not her grandson's life. Nanny Hua was not anxious anymore. She looked at He with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "Did Zhaoxing deal with the child he took away from the Marquis' Mansion?"
He's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she asked in confusion, "Zhao Xing said he wanted to ensure that the bitch was alive. That way, if the matter was exposed, the Jiang family and the Marquis' Mansion would let us go."
Aunt Hua suddenly stood up and asked in surprise, "What???"
Her chest heaved violently, a surge of anger instantly rushing to her head, her head dizzy, and she slumped down in her chair. Zhao Xing, her filial son had actually dared to go against her wishes and deceive her for so many years!
Aunt Hua rubbed her head and said in a cold voice, "Where is that child now?" She thought to herself that the one in the Marquis' Mansion now must be that bastard.
Nanny Hua caught up with the bitch and peppered her with questions, showing no concern for the suffering of her precious grandson. He felt a little unhappy. She curled her lips and said, "She should still be in Luming County! I wonder what kind of idiotic luck she had, what kind of rubbish magic medicine she got to save a local tycoon's son. That local tycoon was also blind, so he adopted her as his goddaughter."
Aunt Hua's eyes nearly spit fire. Not only did she not kill that evil creature, but she also kept an eye on him. She sternly asked, "Are you sure she's still in Jiazhou?"
He couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Mother-in-law, are you going to save Tianbao or not? He's still suffering at the hands of those two, and you only care about that bitch!"
"Gurgle~Gurgle~Gurgle~" As soon as He's words fell, her stomach began to growl.
Aunt Hua frowned in disdain. She casually took out a few taels of silver and threw it to He, saying coldly, "Take it and bribe her. If you want me to take the silver, you need to let me see Tianbao first..."
