After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 47 Women who kill their children

Chunhua's eyelids became heavier and heavier. She took one last look at Xu Weian's smile and finally closed her eyes.

In a daze, she heard his voice: "Tonight by the Chengxi Bridge, I will give you a surprise."

There was a half-smile in his tone, and his careless expression came to mind, but before she could think about it, she fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Helian Wenyu, who was wandering on the street, was chatting in various ways.

The shouts of the vendors on the roadside were heard one after another. Whenever she glanced at a shop, Fu Yanping packed up all the best parts of the shop without her needing to say a word.

——This time is no exception.

"I am just curious, what does General Fu mean?"

Helian Wenyu couldn't help but feel a little funny when she looked at Fu Yanping standing there awkwardly with the big and small bags in his hands.

"If His Highness likes it, you don't need a reason. I, the general, will just buy it."

Helian Wenyu snorted coldly: "Then you can buy it if you like, the eldest princess's mansion won't reimburse you."

A warm feeling surged into her heart, but that didn't mean that she believed Fu Yanping's lies.

In the last life, I almost ignored him, and I didn't see him being so attentive.

Helian Wenyu thought about it and unknowingly walked to a candy man shop. Fu Yanping didn't say anything and just wrapped the candy man into a round shape.

Helian Wenyu held a candy man in her hand, while Fu Yanping held the rest, walking slowly.

"If the eldest princess stops, there will be a slum area further on. It will be difficult for us to ensure the safety of the eldest princess."

Luo Zhoubai, deputy commander of the Yulin Army, replaced Yuwen Nai's original mission and was sent by the emperor to protect Helian Wenyu at the gate of the eldest princess's mansion.

After His Highness left the mansion, he followed him all the way. Seeing Helian Wenyu walking further and further away, he had no choice but to step out and stop her.

Helian Wenyu looked at Fu Yanping without saying anything.

Fu Yanping touched his nose and said, "Deputy Commander Luo, why don't you step down first? Your Highness the Princess's safety will be watched by the general, and nothing will happen."

Luo Zhoubai didn't believe it.

How many times has Helian Wenyu been out of the palace? But which time did nothing happen? This has almost become a curse for the entire Yulin Army.

However, he is just a bodyguard. As the eldest princess, if Helian Wenyu insists on going, he cannot stop her.

Therefore, under the insistence of Helian Wenyu and Fu Yanping, Luo Zhoubai could only retreat quietly and pray that no business would happen.

After entering the slums, the original prosperity of the capital was washed away.

Although the completely cold winter has passed, and the temperature can turn into ice with a casual breath, this time of year can be said to be the most difficult time for the slums.

Overcrowded shanty town, dirty newly melted sewage, even if the breeze blows by chance, it loses its speed, leaving only a pungent rancid smell.

Several times, Helian Wenyu was so frightened by the huge rats that jumped out of the darkness that her hair stood on end.

This moment made Helian Wenyu, who had always thought that he was still living in the "prosperous age", frightened.

She wanted to leave here, but she didn't want to show her timid side in front of Fu Yanping, so she had no choice but to move forward.

Likewise, these miserable scenes constantly impacted Fu Yanping's brain.

He always thought that he was at the bottom of society.

But today, his faith was shattered.

He had never felt his happiness as deeply as he did at this moment. He couldn't even imagine whether he could survive it if he grew up in such an environment...

Although that person was perverted, to be honest, that person brought him a lot of "by-products". For example, status, bloodline, vision...but can all of these really appear in this dirty and messy world?
  The footsteps of the group of people became heavier and heavier as they walked.

Suddenly, a woman in her thirties was holding a bucket with a family's clothes inside, and was moving towards the river with difficulty.

Fu Yanping's vigilance reached its highest at this moment.

"It smells like blood."

Fu Yanping whispered, and subconsciously protected Helian Wenyu behind him. At the same time, he stared at the woman. As long as she made any riot, he would kill her immediately.

Helian Wenyu was puzzled. This woman in her thirties did not look very powerful, and she seemed to be quite weak. However, she did not understand the affairs of the world, so she just pursed her lips and tried not to cause trouble.

Luo Zhoubai also appeared at this time, but he was not too vigilant. With tears in his eyes, he said: "There is no need to be on guard. This woman has just given birth, so she still smells of blood."

"No," Fu Yanping still didn't let down his guard, "Why does her barrel also smell of blood?"

Luo Zhoubai's tone was even lower, and his voice was trembling: "She probably strangled her child to death after giving birth, and now she took the baby's body to the river and abandoned it."

Helian Wenyu was furious: "How can she kill someone? Even as a mother, she can't do it! Tiger poison can't even eat its children..."

Fu Yanping's face was even more gloomy. He hated such irresponsible parents who gave birth to children.

Just like his father...

If he hadn't considered protecting Helian Wenyu at all times, his hand would have been furious and drew his sword to seek justice.

Luo Zhoubai looked at the woman. She was in tatters and tatters, and the linen cloth was not even enough to cover her body. She was swaying when she walked. It was obvious that she had just given birth.

As if he recalled something, he finally couldn't hold back his tears and cried silently.

Then look at the eldest princess whom he sacrificed his life to protect, as well as the future prince-in-law, who has rich robes and jade clothes, has no worries about food and clothing, and still has time to speak out for "justice".

I have to say, this world is really ironic.

Luo Zhoubai choked and said, "Does His Highness think she is very hateful and deserves death?"

Helian Wenyu was still angry and asked: "Isn't it? You have given birth to a child, but you kill him yourself. What is this if you are not a beast?"

Luo Zhoubai looked at her ignorance and suddenly felt pathetic. He adjusted his mood and said, "I have seen this scene before and experienced it before."

"Your Highness should know that I entered the palace at the age of five and it has been twenty-three years now. However, Your Highness does not know that my mother was pregnant with twins at that time, but in the end only I survived. Your Highness, do you know why?"

Helian Wenyu took a deep breath after hearing this, and asked the woman in front of her: "Your mother strangled another female fetus?"

Luo Zhoubai laughed at himself and said, "Your Highness must find it incredible, right?"

"But I never dared to resent my parents - this is not because I survived, and I understand the pain of killing my children with my own hands better than they do."

"Your Highness must not know that according to the current Xuefeng national law, every household must pay a certain amount of money as a Dingkou tax for every additional person."

"In addition, there are various expenses for the baby, which are simply not something a slum family can afford."

"The mother in front of me not only has to endure the pain of strangling her children with her own hands, but also has to take the whole family's clothes to the river to wash them right after giving birth..."

"Do you still think she is cruel?"

"If she wasn't ruthless, their whole family wouldn't be able to survive - ugh."

Luo Zhoubai suddenly realized that he had said too much, and then fell silent.

Helen Wenyu's throat moved, but in the end she said nothing.
