Chapter 190 Restoring Trust
Meng Yan hugged Xia's body in time, and a faint smell of blood soaked out from her clothes.When Meng Yan took a closer look, she saw mottled bloodstains on Xia's back.

"mother!"

Xia Shi didn't want Meng Yan to worry, so she kept stiffening.But before Meng Yan and Yin Heng arrived, she had been whipped several times, which was unbearable for a weak woman like her.

Coupled with the big commotion in the restaurant, the wound on Xia's back opened, and the blood oozes out, gradually soaking from inner to outer.

Meng Yan helped Xia Shi back to the room and put her on the bed. When she untied her clothes, she saw several bloody welts on her back.

Meng Yan knew very well what it was like to be beaten to pieces with a whip.

If the Xia family didn't stand in front of Monkey Bugui, the whip would fall on Bugui.Looking at the depth of the whip marks, one can see that they struck ruthlessly, clearly wanting to beat the monkey to death.

Soon Meng Yan discovered that the welts on Xia's body were red and swollen. Even when she was in a coma, Xia continued to be tortured by a piercing pain, moaning unconsciously, and covered in cold sweat.

Meng Yan's expression was extremely gloomy and terrifying.

The whip that hit Xia Shi's body was dipped in water, which would make the whip body heavier, and it would be more painful when whipped.

But around Xia's wound, after the water dries up, tiny white crystals are left behind.Meng Yan didn't expect that what they dipped in was not ordinary water, but concentrated salt water.

In this way, the pain becomes more painful.Poor Mrs. Xia has never been subjected to such torture, and she was able to bear it all the way without making a sound.

With a sullen face, Meng Yan cleaned up Xia's wound and applied medicine to bandage it.

Apart from pain, Xia has no other senses.When Meng Yan thoroughly cleaned the salt in the wound, she didn't respond at all.

As soon as Meng Yan finished bandaging her, Xia started to have a high fever.

Medicine was being boiled in the yard, and the medicine stove was puffing and puffing, exuding a scent of medicine.

When Xia was in a daze, she muttered something indistinctly.Meng Yan leaned over to listen, only to hear that she was calling for no return and run.

Meng Yan turned her head to look outside the door, and saw Monkey Bugui staying in the yard peacefully, turning her head to look at Mrs. Xia's room from time to time.It was very worried and frustrated, and didn't take the initiative to run into the room, probably thinking that Xia Shi wouldn't want to see it.

Meng Yan responded softly to Xia Shi, "Don't worry, mother, it's safe not to return."

Only then did Xia's frown relax a little, and she began to hum softly again: "It hurts..."

She had been tense before, and the situation was so bad that she didn't make a sound no matter how painful it was.Now once the spirit is relaxed, it will subconsciously cry out for pain.

Meng Yan could only use acupuncture to relieve her pain as much as possible.

Later, Meng Yan changed Xia's clothes, and felt that her trouser legs were wet. When she picked up the bottom of her trousers, Meng Yan's eyes were dim.

There was a big burn on Xia's leg, and the skin was red.Meng Yan turned around and went to prepare medicine for external application of burns.

Yin Heng boiled the medicine, carefully filtered it out, looked at the monkey not returning, reached out and handed it a bowl of medicine.

Holding the medicine bowl, it cautiously came to Xia's gate, raised its foot to go in, but retracted.When Meng Yan turned her head, she saw it hovering at the door. It looked up and saw Meng Yan, so it stretched out its hand to gather the medicine in front of it.

Meng Yan was speechless, took the medicine and fed it to Mrs. Xia one by one.

At night, Xia family had nightmares again and again, calling Meng Yan for a while, and monkey not returning for a while.Meng Yan saw that the monkey was reluctantly guarding the door if it didn't return, and said, "Come in and guard. I'll go and rest for a while, and if Mother wakes up, call me."

Monkey Buguiyao knew that this was a task assigned to it by Meng Yan, so he readily accepted it, and came in to guard Xia Shi's bedside in an orderly manner.

In this room, Meng Jianjia followed Xu Mingyou back to Xu's house in hot pursuit.Meng Jianjia ran forward quickly, grabbed Xu Mingyou's clothes and knelt down, crying, "Don't listen to their nonsense, my lord, I never dared to think like that... I just want to stay Share the worries of the eldest son by the side of the eldest son... They just want to provoke the concubine and the eldest son..."

Meng Jianjia was terrified in her heart, if Xu Mingyou really listened to her, then her good life might be coming to an end.

In fact, Xu Mingyou didn't care at all. He didn't keep her by his side because he liked her, but because he saw that she was useful.It's just that Xu Mingyou's mood is so bad now that he doesn't show any mercy, kicks Meng Jianjia away, and enters the house by himself.

When Meng Jianjia wept weakly and followed Liu Fufeng into the house, fortunately, the servants didn't stop her from the door.

Meng Jianjia realized that she had to do something decent to regain Xu Mingyou's trust in her.

It happened to be rainy for the next few days.It's autumn, and it rains day and night, and the air is very humid, giving people a sticky feeling.

And Xu Mingyou's manager came to report that some of the stored rice in the rice warehouse had become moldy due to the fact that it had been damp for several days.

Moldy rice cannot be eaten and is prone to poisoning and accidents.Usually grain merchants are most afraid that the granary will be damp, and rice is easy to absorb moisture. If the moisture cannot dissipate, it will start to grow mold. Grain merchants can only bear the loss by themselves.

But Meng Jianjia told Xu Mingyou that when she was in the village, she also encountered moldy food at home, as long as she washed it and dried it, it would be fine.

Meng Jianjia also said to Xu Mingyou: "My lord, it's a pity to lose so much rice. It's better to sell it. I have a way."

Then she clung to Xu Mingyou's ear and whispered a few words.

Xu Mingyou looked at her darkly, and said, "Are you sure this time?"

Meng Jianjia replied: "I will definitely try my best."

If the trial is successful, Xu Mingyou will not have to suffer the loss of rice, if not, the situation will not be much worse than it is now.For Xu Mingyou, it was a beneficial and harmless move, of course he would allow Meng Jianjia to do it, as a way of paying off for the incident in the restaurant last time.

Meng Jianjia got Xu Mingyou's permission, and then said in a soft voice: "My lord, I want some moldy rice, and save it for other purposes."

Xu Mingyou asked the manager to fetch the moldy rice for her, and it was the most moldy part.

Soon, the moldy rice incident spread in the city.

Some people claimed that they bought moldy rice at the grain shop of Ah Nang Kee, and they made a big fuss in front of the grain shop.

Xu Shenfang has been dealing with this matter for the past two days.In fact, when it first rained, he had already made the granary waterproof.Because he heard from farmers outside the city that it might rain for a while.

At that time, it was a time when the autumn was crisp and the sun was shining brightly. Anyone who heard these words felt unbelievable.But farmers cultivate crops by mastering the four seasons, and no one knows the weather better than them.
