Chapter 193: Make sure his face is evenly colored
Xiao Minglou called out to his uncle almost immediately, and his uncle's body stiffened slightly. He turned around awkwardly, but still blocked the woman he had just hugged in the first place.
The two looked at each other in a stalemate for a while, and then his uncle came over and asked him, "Minglou, why are you here?"
He told his uncle truthfully that he came to play with his aunt and little cousin.
His uncle told him that his aunt had taken his little cousin to see the lanterns, and asked him to look for them at the lantern festival.
He went there happily, but when he got there, he fell in love with two beautiful rabbit lanterns at first sight. One big and one small, just like his aunt and his little cousin, he quickly bought two, and when he was paying, he heard his aunt's voice in a trance, turned his head and saw his aunt like that for the first time.
Her beautiful and delicate makeup had now faded, and her usual calm and elegant demeanor was long gone. He stopped everyone who passed by and asked them if they had seen a maid holding a baby girl in her arms.
But all the people who were held back waved their hands casually, as if they really didn't see it, or maybe they didn't care at all.
He kept asking like this until she was bumped into by a man carrying goods. He was startled, dropped the two rabbit lanterns in his hands, and rushed over.
Since then, my aunt has been ill and even lost her mind. When she got better, she knew who he was. She said with pain, regret and guilt that she shouldn't have given the child to the maid in the mansion, and asked her if her little cousin would hate her for this. She also told her to remember to tell her grandfather if there was any news about her little cousin.
When her condition became serious, she didn't recognize who he was at all. She was roaring, shouting, and cursing someone loudly. When he was young, he thought she was cursing the human traffickers, but now think about it... maybe it wasn't the human traffickers, but his uncle, the current Minister of Rites Bai Qian.
That's why he was so angry when Bai Wei smashed his grandmother's jade pendant and refused to forgive her.
Because the jade pendant not only represents the love of my grandmother and grandfather, it is also something that my aunt once wanted but never got.
But she destroyed it easily!
My grandfather said that she destroyed the jade pendant perhaps because it was what my aunt wanted and she felt resentful for being stranded outside.
And this resentment made it even more impossible for him to forgive her.
Because he knew very clearly that the person who loved his little cousin the most in the world was her aunt, but she blamed her aunt for losing her and causing her to be homeless.
This is true for everyone in the world.
If something happens to the child and the mother is not around, they will blame the mother for abandoning the child, asking what she was doing and why she could be so cruel. If the mother is around, they will blame the mother for not taking good care of the child and causing the child to suffer such a situation.
But my mother is just an ordinary person. She doesn’t have three heads and six arms, and she can’t predict everything.
They didn't know that the maid in their house would take the child away and disappear.
They may also suffer from abdominal pain, feel unwell, and collapse on the street, unable to look after their children.
Children are not a jade pendant or an egg. You can keep them safe by holding them in your arms or in your hands.
If they knew this, they would rather die than let go of their children’s hands!
And when all this happened, few people blamed the man in the same situation.
When the little cousin was lost, the aunt was frantically looking for her, but Bai Qian was enjoying the company of other women. After the little cousin was lost, the aunt burst into tears, was heartbroken, and stayed on the sickbed, using all the strength she could to look for her, but what was Bai Qian doing? Was he complaining in the arms of the woman he had held in his arms?
Tell him about the pain of his daughter being lost by his wife, and the pain of his wife going crazy in the mansion? Then, with the comfort of that woman, he felt that all this was his aunt's fault.
That's why he couldn't forgive.
He felt that his little cousin just couldn't figure things out!
Is it really her aunt that she should hate? She should obviously hate Bai Qian. The most infuriating thing is that she even broke up with the Xiao family for Bai Qian!
Thinking of this, Xiao Minglou slammed the table hard, and the bowl of noodles shook.
The noodle shop owner was also shocked: "Sir, what's wrong? Is it that the noodles in our shop don't suit your taste?"
Xiao Minglou also came back to his senses and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, I just thought of something annoying. Boss, don't worry about it."
The noodle shop owner smiled and said, "Don't think too much when you're eating, otherwise it will affect your appetite. The most important things in life are food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Apart from these things, don't worry too much about other things, and you will be at ease."
Xiao Minglou nodded: "Boss, what you said makes sense."
After saying that, he picked up the bowl of noodles and started to eat with relish.
The noodles are smooth and elastic, and the soup base tastes good. Add a handful of chopped green onions to enhance the flavor and color. My stomach feels warm immediately after eating it.
After finishing his noodles, Xiao Minglou threw down a few coins and left.
When the noodle shop owner came to collect the bowls and saw the silver coins, Xiao Minglou had already walked away. He could only shout to Xiao Minglou from a distance: "Thank you, young master!"
After eating and drinking, Xiao Minglou's mood gradually calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully, I felt that Bai Wei was confused, and I wondered if I was also a little confused.
After all, he knew that his aunt loved Bai Wei the most, but he deliberately treated her unkindly. Was he letting down his aunt's kindness to him?
Just as he was thinking about it, a woman suddenly bumped into him and was about to fall into his arms.
Xiao Minglou was a little confused, but as a general, he was very skilled and dodged immediately. The woman fell to the ground without anyone to stop her, her brows knitted in pain, and she was about to cry.
Seeing this, Xiao Minglou scratched his head awkwardly: "Girl, are you okay?"
If he had known this would happen, he should have given her a helping hand.
The woman finally reacted and immediately hugged Xiao Minglou's thighs crying, "Master, save me, please, save me, Master!"
Xiao Minglou was even more confused, and didn't understand the situation at all: "Girl, what do you mean?"
The moment he finished speaking, several people who didn't look like good people squeezed out from the crowd and said, "You stinky bitch, you owe me, Master Wang San, so much money, and you want to run away like this? You're just thinking of beauty! Since you don't have the money to pay me back, I'll sell you to a brothel and get some money!"
After he finished speaking, he signaled to his men around him, and they stepped forward and wanted to arrest the man.
Xiao Minglou finally understood what the girl meant, and stood in front of those people, saying calmly: "Forcing women of good character into prostitution is against the law in Dongqin, and the sentence is at least three years. You are so brave."
Master Wang San described Zhang Yang and looked Xiao Minglou up and down: "Who are you? Are you going to pay it back for her?"
Xiao Minglou frowned: "According to the laws of Dongqin, if she owes you money, you can make her work to pay it back, but you can't sell her to a brothel at will!"
When Master Wang San heard this, he laughed out loud: "Who are you, you idiot? You are talking about the law here with me? I have someone above me! Come on, beat up this poor bastard who has nothing to do but meddle in other people's business! And then catch that woman and sell her!"
"Yes!"
After saying that, a group of people rushed forward and started fighting Xiao Minglou.
It’s a pity that compared with Xiao Minglou, these people were like elementary school students meeting special forces soldiers. They were all knocked down in a few moves.
Among them, Mr. Wang Sanye was obviously unwilling to give in, so Xiao Minglou took extra care of him and ensured that the color of his face was even.
After everyone was knocked down, Xiao Minglou walked up to the woman again and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. With me here today, they won't sell you out. It's just that you still need to find a way to repay the debt as soon as possible..."
Before he could finish his words, the woman flicked her sleeves and a strange fragrance wafted towards him. Xiao Minglou fell to the ground and could only open his eyes in disbelief, watching what was happening before his eyes.
The woman changed her pitiful look and looked at Xiao Minglou lying on the ground with disdain, "How dare you hit Master Wang San? You're dead!"
