Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 491 Village Girl Lotus
Xiao Luoyi didn't wait long. Early the next morning, Mrs. Wen came again.

Obviously, she did not go back to Jizhou Prefecture last night, but stayed directly in Xintao Town, so she could come here so early today.

Mrs. Wen looked haggard. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest last night.

After the door was closed, Mrs. Wen knelt down in front of Xiao Luoyi: "Please ask the princess to make the decision for me!"

Xiao Luoyi looked at Mrs. Wen who was kneeling on the ground crying, and her tone was soft but calm: "What do you want me to do?"

Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth: "I want that bitch who secretly exchanged my daughter to be punished!"

Xiao Luoyi nodded: "It's not difficult. You just need to report it to the official directly after knowing this person's situation."

Mrs. Wen kowtowed: "I still want to take my daughter back, compensate her well, and let her live her life happily..."

Xiao Luoyi looked at Mrs. Wen seriously: "Even if she is a vulgar country woman, are you willing to accept her?"

"I do!" Mrs. Wen said firmly.

Xiao Luoyi nodded and told her: "Call a few guards and walk in the direction of Jizhou Mansion. There is a village full of lotus ponds beside the official road. There is a girl in that village who looks almost the same as you. She is your daughter..."

Mrs. Wen agreed and took the people to Jizhou Mansion.

But when she got to the road, she realized: the road leading to Jizhou Prefecture was full of villages with lotus ponds. Wasn't that not far from the old house of her parents' ancestors?
When she was at her parents' home, she bought several little girls from nearby villages to serve as personal maids. Later, when she got married, she took them to the capital.

after that……

Her heart skipped a beat, as if she remembered something, and she turned around to look at the nanny beside her.

Mammy had obviously thought of it, and silently stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Wen: "Madam, it seems that you trusted the wrong person for your kindness back then!"

In the midsummer season, the lotus village is filled with endless green lotus leaves and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun.

It is indeed a beautiful scenery from a distance, but the farmers working in it do not feel happy at all!
"It's so hot today! Who's going out to do things at noon?"

“Who doesn’t know that it’s more comfortable to lie down in the shade at home?”

"Why does your mother insist on you coming out to pick lotus pods at noon? Are you her biological child?!"

A woman was muttering to a dark-faced girl, but her voice was a bit loud, and she was quite scolding.

The girl grinned: "Grandma He, it's not like you don't know that my mother only has my younger brothers and sisters in her eyes and heart. Where can I be?"

"As long as you can hold it back, if I ask you to do it, you will do it!"

"Aren't you afraid that the heat will be too severe and you will fall into the lotus pond and drown?!" Grandma He still felt distressed.

Shen Hehua is only sixteen years old. She has a sharp tongue, but her hands and feet are very nimble, and she is a good hand in doing things.

The little girl is obviously beautiful, but she doesn't care about her face at all. She is exposed to the sun every day, like a black coal!

"Grandma He, don't worry, I can swim and I won't drown."

"Besides, if I come to the lotus pond to pick lotus pods, catch a few loaches, and dig two sections of tender lotus root, I can still eat a few bites. If I take it home, I won't be able to eat it."

The lotus seeds and lotus roots of Hehua Village are famous in nearby state capitals, and the annual income is an important source of income for every household.

Also because she had a wild temperament since she was young and knew how to hunt wild food by herself, Shen Hehua's height was not wasted and she grew tall and slim.

"You girl, if someone asks you to be their mother-in-law, the whole family will not suffer!" Granny He sighed with emotion and went home.

As soon as she entered the village entrance, she met a carriage. There were several mounted guards walking beside the carriage, and a woman sitting on the shaft holding an umbrella to protect from the sun.

As soon as the mother-in-law saw Grandma He, she immediately came forward to say hello: "Sister, I would like to ask if there is a girl in the village who is about sixteen years old. She is quite handsome..."

Just as grandma was about to describe the girl's appearance, the car curtain opened, revealing the face of an official lady with fair and delicate skin: "She looks a bit like me. Have you seen her before, eldest sister?"

Granny He looked at Mrs. Wen's face carefully and slapped her thigh: "Oh, are you talking about that girl He Hua?"

"What are you looking for her for?"

Mrs. Wen pursed her lips and smiled: "She is kind to me, and I came here specifically to thank her today..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wen held up the gold hairpin on her headrest and showed off the silk-embellished gold bracelet on her wrist.

My mother-in-law felt happy when she saw it: This is a wealthy family!
"If you want to thank her, don't go to her house. You can follow my wife and go directly to the field to thank her."

"Lest she get anything, her cruel mother would take it away and give it to her brother..."

Mrs. Wen felt sad and sad when she heard this, and deliberately led Granny He to say more: "What? The situation at home is not good?"

Grandma He was a simple person. She immediately poured beans through a bamboo tube and talked about everything.

"That mother of hers is so partial and heartless!"

"My younger brothers and sisters can be lazy, but Lotus cannot."

"My brothers and sisters can all have enough to eat, but Lotus cannot."

"She will always be beaten and scolded, and good things will never happen to her..."

Mrs. Wen burst into tears when she heard this: "Why is her mother like this? If we say we favor boys over girls, how can her sister be so much better than her?"

Granny He didn't know either: "Then who knows? Anyway, her mother just can't stand her!"

"When Hehua was a child, Hehua was always beaten. Later, when she got older, she knew how to run. Every time she saw her mother raising the stick, she would run away. The little girl ran so fast..."

"Since when did they become like this?"

Grandma He doesn’t know this.

It is common for people in the countryside to beat and scold their children, but it is indeed rare to catch one with such a bias.

By the time everyone discovered that He Hua Niang was partial, He Hua was already two or three years old.

As she spoke, Granny He pointed to the little dark-skinned girl holding a wooden basin in the lotus pond and picking lotus pods and said, "Here, that's the lotus. See if she's the one you're looking for?"

When Mrs. Wen saw the black coal-like face from a distance, she burst into tears with distress: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly..."

In fact, it's not far, but because the lotus is too dark, I can't see the facial features clearly.

Granny He smiled and said: "That's not easy, just ask her to come over. Lotus... come quickly! Someone wants to see you!"

The wooden basin was swaying and was pulled over by Shen Hehua. Two guards came forward to help, but Shen Hehua waved them away. She stepped onto the shore with bare feet and patted the blood-sucking leech off her legs. .

Looking at the mud on her calf and the bleeding locust wound, Mrs. Wen's heart was broken: "It's bleeding, please deal with it quickly."

"I'm fine. This is normal. What does this lady want from me?"
