Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 426 Confrontation
As soon as Nan Zhi was fully dressed, he heard someone talking in the yard.

Because there are not many maids in the mansion, and Nanzhi and Shen Wenchen don't like too many people to take care of them, only two servants are left in the main courtyard to guard the door. Stopping Nanzhi, he quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"what happened?"

Ma Po's status in the mansion is very high, the guard at the door was blocking Cheng Yue from entering, when he heard Ma Po's voice, both of them immediately had smiles on their faces.

"Ma Po, why did you come out?"

"What do you say?"

Ma Po only glanced at the two servants, raised her chin, and motioned for them to let Orange Moon go.

The little girl was slapped yesterday, and there are still some marks on her face at the moment. She was stopped by the servant for a while, and now she looks somewhat embarrassed.

"Ma, mother-in-law, the two food deliverers are here. Aunt Zhao is keeping some people. She let me, let me talk to Madam."

Orange Moon lowered her head, not daring to meet Ma Po's eyes, and only stammered to explain her purpose.

"Okay, I see. You wait here, and I will ask my wife to come out."

Ma Po glanced at her, and then went back to the yard.

"Ma'am, it's a little girl in the kitchen who said that the person who delivered the food is coming, and she is being stumbled by Mrs. Zhao right now."

Nan Zhi nodded, and gathered the cloak on his shoulders: "Then let's go."

The sky was gloomy, and there would be a gust of cool wind from time to time. There were lanterns hanging everywhere in the City Lord's Mansion, and they were blown slightly.

A group of people walked towards the kitchen slowly, Jia Ding and Ma Po only protected Nan Zhi, afraid that someone would bump into her in a while.

"You fucking let us go!"

As soon as the group arrived outside the kitchen, they heard a man shouting and cursing from inside.

Nan Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, only feeling that the voice was somewhat familiar.

As soon as they entered the yard, several servants stepped forward and surrounded the people in the yard, and Ma Po also stood obliquely in front of Nanzhi, protecting her behind her.

"Who made trouble in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ma Po spent 15 years in the royal palace in Kyoto when she was young, and then returned to Yancheng.

After returning to Yancheng, he also only took care of the pregnant head mother among the big households, so the momentum is naturally different.

Just this sentence blocked the man's mouth.

Mrs. Zhao already felt that her broken mouth caused her trouble, and she was so worried that she didn't sleep all night. Today, the rooster just crowed once, and she got up with two huge dark circles under her eyes.

He just stared at the small door in the backyard, hoping that the food delivery person would come quickly.

If this stopped the person, she might be able to redeem herself, but if the person didn't come, her meal would be ruined.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let her wait for the couple.

Mrs. Zhao's greasy hair was messy, and now her face was red and her ears were red, and she was panting heavily.

The man looked at Xu, but he didn't expect that he still had the strength.

Looking at the servants who surrounded them again, Mrs. Zhao immediately straightened up, joking, she is from the city lord's mansion!

"You, what are you doing!" Qian Er's face was ugly, and now he only pulled He Xiang to question the group of servants.

He Xiang's complexion couldn't look any better either.

Ever since she left Nanzhi, she followed Qian Er to live in that dilapidated house, but her father-in-law was injured and his father-in-law was addicted to gambling. In less than ten days, the little silver in her hand It took a while to clean up.

Now, although Qian Er said that the thing was cured, but because he didn't have enough money, he only asked a wild doctor to come and see, this time, things went bad.

Although it can be used, but it is very rare to want to have children in this life.

She originally thought that if Qian Er got medical treatment, he would be able to go to the county government to get rid of her citizenship, but when she asked him, he only said that he had lost the deed of prostitution.

Although she is free on the face of it now, if someone picks up that contract of sale one day, she will have to become someone else's slave again.

But besides following Qian Er, where else could she go?
In order to have something to eat, Qian Er's injury happened to be better, so she went to take up the chore of washing clothes for others.

She can get one penny for washing two clothes, and even if she wears her hands a day, she can earn at most twenty pennies.

Just like that, her father-in-law had to ask for ten coins to go to the gambling house.

The remaining ten coins became food money for the two of them.

They lived like this for about a month. In the end, Qian Er couldn't bear to eat potatoes and porridge all day long, so he ran out to steal eggs from other houses, but was discovered by others. leg.

Now Qian Er can't do without He Xiang completely, so he treats her a little better.

At first, he coaxed He Xiang to tell him the recipe of the jam, so that he could take it and sell it for silver.

But He Xiang was scruples about the contract he signed at the beginning, so he refused to agree to it.

If you can't get the prescription, you can't make money, and Qian Er's attitude towards her is naturally bad, but since he hurt his leg and became a sloppy, he seems to understand.

My father is unreliable, if this daughter-in-law runs away again, he will die in the house for the rest of his life.

He Xiang had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the fifty copper coins he had finally saved to go outside the city to collect some vegetables and sell them back.

After going back and forth, half a month can be regarded as enough to eat.

Qian Er realized that he could eat a meal of meat every few days, so he became more honest. Even when his father came back to ask for money, he would help He Xiang drive people out.

Later, when he met the kid from Mao's family, something happened at home, He Xiang thought about taking a gamble, and then won the job of delivering food to the city lord's mansion.

Who knows how many times this has been delivered, Qian Er will go around talking nonsense and make a fuss like this.

"Qian Er, you are so courageous."

Seeing He Xiang with sallow complexion and rough skin, Nan Zhi sneered inwardly.

This is the comfortable life that He Xiang tries to live.

Qian Er never thought that what he said a few days ago would cause such a mess.

He knew that Nan Zhi was the wife of the city lord, and the complaints he made were only after he came to the city lord's mansion and saw that the servants here had better food and clothing than himself, so he became a little jealous and wentssip with Mrs. Zhao.

But how could he have imagined that it was just a gossip that would spread from the kitchen to Nanzhi.

"You, what are you talking about, I can't understand." Qian Er's face was pale, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

The last time he went to splash a basin of blood, he was thrown into prison and suffered once.

this time……

Thinking of the feeling of being hit on the butt by a stick, Qian Er felt that his legs were a little out of control.

He was afraid.

"Madam of the city owner, please be generous and spare us this time."

He Xiang was annoyed, but still begged for mercy.

She was very clear about what Qian Er did, and if she didn't stop her, she wanted to sneakily ruin Nan Zhi's reputation.

Why is she still the high-ranking wife of the city lord now, she has to get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog every day in order to fill her stomach.

Even, even the people who kept saying that they would be good sisters forever, are dying...
