After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Ning Ruyan felt like her head was about to explode. After she was reborn, she didn't expect that there were still so many twists and turns in some seemingly insignificant things in her previous life.

While he was thinking about it, the carriage slowly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zisu asked outside.

"There are a lot of people at the intersection ahead." Li Zhuzhu replied angrily.

"Then take a detour." Ning Ruyan replied.

The carriage turned around and headed back.

"A few days ago, I heard that a juggling troupe came to the capital. The people in it are very powerful. They can spit fire and hold bowls..." Forsythia's eyes were bright, "I told Banxia last time that it was quite interesting. Woolen cloth."

"If you want to watch it, find time to come out and watch it." Ning Ruyan smiled and said, "I'll give you a day off tomorrow."

"Thank you, Miss." Forsythia suddenly smiled.

The carriage quickly bypassed the crowded place, but just when Zhu Zhu was about to enter through the main entrance, Zi Su opened the door: "Zhu Zhu, the eldest lady is too tired, please go to the back."

The door at the back is the door of Wutong Courtyard. Although the original door has been rebuilt, the door that opens to the outside is not blocked. It has even been enlarged so that carriages can be entered and exited directly.

After the car stopped, Zisu immediately got on the roof of the car, quickly grabbed a little girl and got off, then threw her to the ground: "Tell me, why are you hiding on the roof of the car?"

The little girl looked thin and small, only about seven or eight years old, but she looked pretty good. She was a little beauty. At this time, her whole body was shaking because of fright, but she still managed to get up and kneel on the ground. : "I escaped."

"Isn't this the little girl who holds the bowl in the juggling class?" At this time, Mrs. Zhao, who was doing rough work, suddenly said something.

"Do you know him?" Ning Ruyan looked back at her.

"Just yesterday, the old slave helped the kitchen go out to buy pork. When he saw someone from the juggling class performing, he watched for a quarter of an hour. This little girl was holding more than a dozen bowls on the bamboo pole, and then accidentally One of them was broken into pieces, and the squad leader even whipped her..."

Everyone looked at the little girl with a little sympathy, but they still had to be vigilant.

"What's your name? How old are you this year?" Ning Ruyan looked at the little girl, inexplicably feeling that she seemed familiar.

"My name is Xiao Wu." The little girl's voice was small and her expression was timid. "I am twelve years old this year."

"Twelve years old?" Ning Ruyan was shocked. Just like this, she didn't look like she was twelve years old. She wouldn't believe her even if she said she was ten years old. She looked seven or eight years old at most.

"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded, "I don't want to be beaten, nor do I want to be ruined. Please take me in. As long as I have a bite to eat, I will do a lot of work."

Ning Ruyan did feel pity for this child, but there were many pitiful people in the world, and she could not pity everyone. Moreover, if Xiao Wu signed a deed of sale with the class, he would be considered a fugitive slave. If she finds out, it will implicate her.

"Please, noble man, I really know everything. If I go back, I will either be beaten to death or have to serve the class leader's stupid son..."

Ning Ruyan sighed, it was indeed difficult.

"I know it's hard for the noble man." When Xiao Wu saw that Ning Ruyan didn't speak, he could only wipe away his tears and got up, turned around and left.

Ning Ruyan frowned, but still gestured to Zi Su and Mulberry Ye. Zi Su and Sang Ye followed, but half an hour later, Zi Su brought Xiao Wu back who was all wet.

"This girl really didn't want to live anymore. She ran out and jumped into the river when she got there. If I didn't follow, I would be reincarnated now." Zisu sighed.

"Let's take a hot bath first and change clothes." Ning Ruyan gestured to Forsythia.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, he knelt down and kowtowed before following Lian Qiao to the wing.

After a while, Sang Ye also came back: "Miss, that juggling troupe is indeed looking for someone. Two of them escaped this time, a boy named Xiao Qi and a girl named Xiao Wu. However, that Xiao Qi has already He was taken back, and I took a look and saw that he was beaten quite seriously."

"He was caught to cover me." Xiao Wu, who had changed his clothes, ran over crying and kowtowed to Ning Ruyan a few times, "Thank you for saving me, I can't abandon him. I have to save Xiao Qi, otherwise he will be beaten to death." After saying that, he ran out again.

"Stop." Ning Ruyan breathed out, "If you go back, Xiao Qi's sin will be in vain."

"What should I do? I can't watch him being beaten to death, wuwu..."

Ning Ruyan is also in a dilemma, she can't be allowed to come forward to buy someone, right? Once people find out, we don't know what will happen.

"Miss, I have a way." Xin Yi, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"any solution?"

"These people who run around as entertainers are all human beings." Xin Yi smiled, "If you really come to buy people, you will definitely be a lion, but..." After a pause, "People who are dying are much cheaper. , and it’s also easy to buy.”

"You mean to wait until Xiao Qi is beaten to death before you come forward?"

"My eldest lady, these children are their cash cows, how could they be beaten so badly? Therefore, they need our help."

Ning Ruyan was silent. She didn't want to cause trouble. In the end, the trouble had to be with her. You said this little girl couldn't get into anyone's carriage unless she got into hers. However, if she was forced to die without saving her, she would really do it. less than.

"Miss, for your great kindness, Xiao Wu will repay you by holding grass in his hand and making rings..." Xiao Wu kowtowed again. His head was already broken, but as soon as the medicine was applied, blood started to appear again. .

"Get up." Ning Ruyan sighed, "Now that I've met him, I'll just do one good deed every day." He touched his belly to gather good fortune for the baby in his belly, "Xinyi, I'll leave it to you."

"Let's go." Xin Yi glanced at Xiao Wu, "You can't remain a runaway slave. You should go back too. I'll just buy him back together."

Although Xiao Wu felt that it was a bit unreliable, at present, it seemed that he could only trust the noble man in front of him.

"I'm going to help too." Sang Ye followed in a hurry.

Ning Ruyan took a deep breath: "I have to lie down for a while, I'm a little tired." Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was becoming more and more sleepy, but fortunately she didn't have morning sickness yet.

Forsythia hurriedly helped her back to the room, where she slept until the lights came on.

"Miss, are you awake?" Forsythia heard the noise and hurried in, "Do you want to get up?"

"Yes." Ning Ruyan stood up, "Is Xin Yi back?" (End of Chapter)
