Chapter 22
The heavy rain didn't stop until the evening. After returning home, Lian Qingcheng sat in the house and looked at two objects, one was the phoenix tail needle, and the other was the colorful peacock pendant.

Occasionally, I would try to pierce the peacock with a phoenix needle, but it was all in vain.

While helping Ting Yu to eat, Bai Ping reported to Lian Qingcheng, "Miss, the servants are listening to people's discussions. The old lady's birthday is coming soon. This year, the master has invited many people to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

Hearing this, Lian Qingcheng put down the objects in his hand and thought for a while, "I don't have anything around here that I can take out, so tomorrow morning, come with me to Cuiyuxuan to pick out some birthday gifts for the old lady."

Lian Huanzhi celebrated his mother's birthday, firstly it can show filial piety, and secondly... Lian Qingcheng smiled secretly, it seems that Lian Qingguo has also reached the age of leaving the court, and if he has a girl who has just grown up, he is afraid that he will be raised in a boudoir.

Ting Yu was drinking porridge, and suddenly threw the spoon out of the window, saying, "There are people outside the window."

When the white screen chased them out, they found nothing.

"Maybe it's not necessarily a wild cat." Lian Qingcheng said slowly.

A small episode didn't set off much waves, Lian Qingcheng persuaded Tingyu to take a good rest and went to bed early.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning of the next day, Lian Qingcheng packed up and dressed before going out.

Washed by yesterday's rain, the streets became abnormally clean, and even the sky seemed to have been scrubbed clean and bright.

After entering Cuiyuxuan, Lian Qingcheng explained to the shopkeeper what he wanted to do, and then picked among the several items that the shopkeeper took out, and finally chose a string of Xingyue Bodhi seed prayer beads.

Before leaving the store, a woman in ragged clothes came rushing towards her.

"Miss, help me..." The woman knelt at Lian Qingcheng's feet and kept kowtowing.

Lian Qingcheng watched the woman's every move calmly, but Bai Ping was taken aback, "Miss, look, this girl has a lot of injuries!"

Then, a tough-looking man squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers.

"I'm teaching you, how dare you run out!" The man held a horsewhip in his hand, and whipped it on the woman without hesitation, "Mom bought you back with money, even if you are beaten to death, you have to bear it! How dare you run away?" run!"

Immediately someone recognized the man, "Isn't this Mr. Turtle who is full of flowers?!"

The woman was whipped by the horsewhip and rolled on the ground, while Lian Qingcheng just watched without saying a word.

"Get out of the way, little girl, otherwise I will not be responsible if I accidentally hurt you!"

The woman was curled up into a ball, and when the man was tired and stopped, she raised her head and begged, "This lady... my slave Peijiu... I beg you to show mercy and save me..."

Almond eyes, red lips, and a little red on the forehead, red eyes like a panicked rabbit, although the face is full of dust, it also attracts a burst of admiration from the onlookers.

Lian Qingcheng looked at all this with cold eyes, when everyone thought she would lend a helping hand, unexpectedly Lian Qingcheng said coldly, "Why?"

Lian Qingcheng's mind is spinning, Pei Jiu?Lian Qingcheng only thought it was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.Let's not talk about that, let's look at the man's behavior, he doesn't look like a brothel worker, but more like a soldier, and the riding whip in his hand doesn't match his identity.

Looking at Pei Jiu again, although she was dressed in rags, Lian Qingcheng could be sure of her slender and delicate hands and the faintly exposed white and silky skin—these two were just playing.

If I guessed correctly, then the woman should beg me to buy her.

Sure enough, Pei Jiu pulled Lian Qingcheng's skirt and said, "I beg you to help me... If Miss can buy the slave's house, the slave's house will make cows and horses to repay the miss."

The smile on Lian Qingcheng's face became bigger and bigger, but her voice became colder and colder, "I'm sorry, you asked the wrong person. Baiping, let's go."

Immediately, someone shouted, "This girl is really hard-hearted! People beg you so much and you still don't move! It's really a bad day, a bad day!"

After listening to the people around, you agree with me.

"Yeah, whose girl is this?"

"What kind of parents can bring up such a girl."

Lian Qingcheng originally wanted to leave, but when he heard this sentence, he stopped in his tracks, and slowly glanced around the crowd, Lian Qingcheng spoke in a cold tone, "I would like to ask you a question, a person in his twenties is as young as me." Is it reasonable for a girl in charge to ask for help?"

"Furthermore, whether I help that girl or not depends entirely on my own will. I have never met her before. To help her is my bodhisattva heart. If I don't help, it is because I don't want to help, because I have no such obligation. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

Under the crowd watching and Lian Qingcheng's gaze, Pei Jiu was finally taken away by that man.

But no one noticed the resentment in Pei Jiu's eyes.

I still underestimate her...

On the way back, Bai Ping kept asking, "Miss, others don't know, but Bai Ping knows that you are a bodhisattva, why don't you help that Pei Jiu today?"

"It's so simple and outrageous." Lian Qingcheng knocked on Baiping's head, "Let me ask you, is it reasonable for her to ask a young girl like me for help?"

Baiping looked Lian Qingcheng up and down, "Maybe she thinks that Miss is approachable? Besides, Pei Jiu looks so innocent and kind."

Lian Qingcheng knocked on Baiping's head, "The horsewhip in that man's hand, have you noticed a red mark at the end of the whip? That is obviously where our Eastern Zhou army is. Besides, although the wound on the woman's body looks shocking, But never broke a bone. Is it normal?"

Bai Ping was stunned when he heard this, she felt that since the young lady woke up after falling into the lotus pond, she had changed, becoming so suspicious, careful and careful.

"Miss..." Bai Ping faltered, and suddenly said, "This servant will never betray Miss..."

She was afraid, afraid that Lian Qingcheng would even start to doubt her in the end.

Now Lian Qingcheng was stunned, she handed the box containing the beads to Baiping, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Silly girl……"

In the previous life, it was because Bai Ping was too loyal...and finally fell to a tragic death... At that time, she really hoped that Bai Ping would betray her.At least this girl won't die so miserable...

Unknowingly arrived at the yard, Baiping saw that Tingyu got out of bed secretly, howled directly, startled Tingyu staggering.

"You're so careless! What should I do if my legs become longer and shorter, and I won't be able to move around easily! Who will protect Miss!"

Ting Yu knew that Bai Ping was also concerned with her, so she scratched her head and smiled.

Bai Ping sat down with Ting Yu's support, and then said, "Okay, look at your silly smile."

Lian Qingcheng picked up the book and read it alone. Bai Ping seemed to be afraid of hearing the rain and panicked, so he said, "I went out with Miss today, and I was almost cheated by a girl."

"Ah?" Ting Yu was eating snacks, when he heard Bai Ping say that, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"The girl's name is Pei Jiu, and she was playing tricks with a man, but the lady saw through." As if afraid of Ting Yu's disbelief, she gave out the woman's surname.

"What... what?" Ting Yu seemed not to believe her ears, "Pei Jiu?"

"That's right." Bai Ping snatched the snack from Ting Yu's hand and took a bite, "That girl is beautiful, the most striking thing is the cinnabar mole on her forehead."

Now Ting Yu panicked, the hand holding the teacup trembled unconsciously, and his heart was tangled.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.It must be a long look.

Ting Yu's sudden strange emotion caught Lian Qingcheng's attention, and she just remembered that Ji Li's sweetheart seems to be called Pei Jiu...
