Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

It turns out it wasn't the same thing she was talking about.

Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "I was talking about the Spirit Spring, not that Moon Spring!"

What is a sacred spring?

"It's very powerful water; it can cure diseases, like the water in Guanyin's jade bottle."

The girl's eyes were clear and bright, and she looked very serious.

When Huo Chang'an smiled, his profile was perfect, his phoenix eyes curved into crescents, and he had a naturally charming appearance.

"You've been reading too many storybooks."

Depend on!

His smile is so captivating.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore!"

Sang Ning ran out.

She changed out of her prison uniform and was wearing what looked like her third sister-in-law's clothes.

It fits perfectly, showing off the waist and hips.

Huo Chang'an then noticed that the girl had a shapely figure.

It is no longer in the form of dried bean sprouts.

Even in this desolate western border region, she is as vibrant as a swaying peony.

……

As soon as Sang Ning went out, she saw Jin Tang running over, covering one side of her face.

"Jintang, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Jintang tried to run towards the main house.

Sang Ning grabbed him.

Jintang covered his face and turned his head, desperately trying to dodge, just like his fourth uncle.

In the end, Sang Ning twisted his arm.

"look up."

"Fourth Aunt..."

"Don't make me say it a second time."

Jintang turned around after hearing Sang Ning's stern voice.

He had a cut on his cheek, bleeding quite deeply, the kind that might leave a scar.

"what happened?"

"I went out to gather some firewood and ran into a group of children. They cursed me for bad luck and threw stones at me..."

Jintang suppressed a sob and said softly.

"Fourth Aunt, don't be angry, I'm not in pain. When Mother left, she told me to be careful when I went out and not to cause trouble. We're new here..."

“You’re wrong, Jintang.” Sang Ning wiped away his trembling tears.

When she returned, she saw it too; people nearby were pointing and whispering about her, their eyes filled with avoidance and disgust.

She guessed it wasn't because of his status as a prisoner.

After all, the people here don't have clean identities.

If he were innocent, he would have left Liangzhou long ago. Who would want to suffer in this godforsaken place?

Is it because they lived in a house where someone had just died?

"When you first arrive, it is the perfect time to establish your authority."

They're both just strokes, one left and one right, so which one is more noble than the other?

We don't cause trouble, but if someone messes with us, we'll make them regret it!

Especially now, in other people's eyes, they are a family of weak women.

We cannot back down.

Taking a step back will only embolden them.

Jintang looked up at Sang Ning, forgetting to shed tears.

"Fourth Aunt...but..."

"Today, your fourth aunt will teach you what a 'open strategy' is!"

Sang Ning learned from chatting with Manager Cao that although Liangzhou City was poor, it was relatively stable.

The prefect is a formidable man.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control so many shady criminals.

Although there are many innocent exiles here, there are also some truly vicious ones.

Liangzhou's ironclad rule: You are not allowed to snatch food from other people's hands!

If the crime is committed, the offender will be punished for robbery and murder.

So when they entered the city, the old man was so hungry that he snatched her food and then politely begged for forgiveness.

That's because I'm afraid she'll report me!

"go!"

If you have a grudge, settle it on the spot; otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night!

Sang Ning first used the spiritual spring water to clean Jin Tang's wounds, then pulled him along to find someone.

The children of the poor are in charge early.

These children are not like Jintang, who grew up in a wealthy family; they know everything.

If you're going to bully someone, you should pay the price.

Besides, the children are older than Jintang!

Sang Ning gave Jin Tang a handful of peanuts and asked him to lead the five children to the back of a dilapidated house in a secluded and deserted place.

Those kids chased after Jintang like dogs saw shit.

They rushed in and grabbed peanuts.

Jintang tossed the peanuts aside, her eyes filled with heartache as the children picked them up and eagerly stuffed them into their mouths.

After everyone had eaten a peanut, Sang Ning appeared.

With a swift kick, he knocked down the biggest one.

Then he kneed the kid in the spine, grabbed his hair, and slammed him to the ground.

fainted.

Before the other four could react, she grabbed them again and pushed them against the wall to stand side by side.

"How dare you bully my child? Are you tired of living?"

Who threw the stone?

The four kids, who had just been intimidated by Sang Ning's aggressive manner when he smashed their leader's clothes, suddenly became fierce again after realizing what had happened.

"You unlucky people, living in such an unlucky house, you should stay inside and not bring bad luck to us!"

Oh, so it really was because I lived in that house.

"My dad originally wanted to burn that house down! I didn't expect you guys to move in so quickly!"

"Yes, good people shouldn't live in houses like that. I think you're more terrifying than evil spirits!"

……

Tsk tsk tsk, they're all kids, but Jintang is so cute, why are these other kids so annoying!

Sang Ning pinched one person's mouth, "Look at this mouth, it's malnourished, it sounds like you have diarrhea."

After saying that, he slapped her across the face.

The child's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.

One of them immediately tried to run away, but Sang Ning stomped him against the wall.

"You, you dare to hit someone! My father will never let you get away with this!"

They used to gang up on people, but now they've been beaten up by others.

"Good, very good! I'll go to the yamen right now and sue your parents for instigating you to steal other people's food!"

They still have peanut crumbs in their mouths!

The evidence is conclusive.

"You dare! You useless women, if you want to live here, you still have to rely on men to earn food. There isn't a single man in your family! You should keep your heads down!"

Sang Ning was truly enraged.

Is this really a child?

It is simply the origin of evil.

"Then I'll show you whether there are any men in my house."

"Jintang, throw a stone at each of their faces. If anyone bullies me, I'll repay them a hundredfold. Smash them hard! Bad people don't discriminate by age. Show the same ferocity you had when you killed people!"

Kill, kill someone?

Has this pretty boy killed someone?

When the children saw Jintang pick up the stone, their arrogance finally vanished.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a common trait of evil people.

"Don't hit me! I promise I won't bully you anymore!" a child shouted shamelessly.

Jintang's face turned pale. She hesitated at first, but when she heard them insulting her family, her eyes turned fierce.

"Smash it!" Sang Ning shouted.

They won't learn their lesson unless they're smashed!

On the long road of exile, Jintang already knew the cruel reality that it was either you or me who would die.

I was a bit weak at first, which was my nature and also because I had too little experience and was afraid of bringing trouble to my family.

In fact, he is well-read and knows a lot.

How could the son of a top scholar be a good-for-nothing?

“According to the laws of Liangzhou, stealing someone else’s food is treated as robbery. According to the laws of Dongyang, people over the age of eight are punished the same as adults. It was you who violated the laws first.”

The little child spoke with a firm and resounding voice.

He picked up a stone, stood on tiptoe, and threw it.
