Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 2 How Much Are You Worth?

In the valley, a girl about twelve or thirteen slowly opened her eyes. Her skin was thick and dark, her hair was messy, and there were slight scratches on her cheeks. It was very unattractive to look at, except for one pair of eyes. Its pitch-black and translucent, with a clear ray of light, makes people unforgettable at a glance.

The crisp sound of birdsong enters the ears, accompanied by the fragrance of green grass and woods rushing into the nostrils.

Shen Ninghua snapped back to her senses, and subconsciously looked around, seeing lush greenery in front of her eyes.Not far away, a carriage overturned on the ground, the horse pulling the carriage was dead, and even the carriage was smashed to pieces, scattered messily aside.

How is it possible, isn't she already dead?Why did you come here in the blink of an eye?There were bursts of stabbing pain in her head, Shen Ninghua groaned, and after a while she laughed lowly: "Hehe, it seems that God still has eyes and gave me a chance to go back to 19 years ago."

Her mother died in childbirth to give birth to her, and within a hundred days, her father, Shen Dong, married the daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Yunxiang. Only six months later, Zhao Yunxiang gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, namely Shen Linghan and Shen Xuanye.

And she was born with dark skin, and his father Shen Dong almost threw her to the ground the first time he saw her, bluntly saying that she was not a member of the Shen family, and his stepmother never wanted to see her. The servants are inferior.

Thinking about it, it's not surprising that Shen Dong's heart would be biased towards Shen Linghan and Shen Xuanye, with the auspicious dragon and phoenix twins on one side and the ugly girl who lost her mother on the other.

When she was 13 years old, she happened to see a servant girl adding something to her meals, and felt more and more dangerous, so she invited herself to another village to recuperate, but she didn't want to be frightened by the cars and horses on the road, so she rushed down from the cliff.It was also because of her fate that she only sprained her foot at such a high place, and the two maids who accompanied her to the Biezhuang were not so lucky, they had already died.

After checking herself briefly, Shen Ninghua didn't stay long, picked up the bag of clothes and scattered silver, and walked northward with a wooden stick.

After walking for about half an hour, I felt that the pain in my ankle was unbearable, so I went to the stream to take a rest.In her previous life, she walked out of the valley alone for a day and a night, and her ankle suffered from an old disease. An ugly girl with a disability was a complete stain on the Shen family. Being disliked by others, no matter how smart she is, is just a joke.

Kneeling down and washing her face with clean stream water, Shen Ninghua smiled slightly, feeling so good to be alive again.

"Whoa!"

A blood-stained hand suddenly stretched out from the grass on the opposite side of the stream, and fell into the water with a splash. The blood stains immediately fainted in the water, and was washed downstream by the stream.Shen Ninghua trembled in shock, and shouted in a low voice:

"Who?"

Although the stream is not wide, the vegetation on both sides of the bank is about half a person's height, and it grows exceptionally lush. When Shen Ninghua came over, he didn't notice that there was a person hiding in the grass on the opposite side.

After a while, there was a suppressed coughing sound, the grass rustled, and a man struggled to emerge from the grass, and fell directly into the stream.

Shen Ninghua clenched the wooden stick in her hand and took two steps back, her brows were tightened: "Who are you?"

"Ahem...a person in trouble." The man raised his head, and looked at Shen Ninghua with his eyes without any traces, and then his tense body relaxed, "You girl has a strange appearance, but you are from the barren mountains and wild ridges. It's surprising that a person suddenly appeared, so it must be some kind of mountain monster, right?"

The stream washed away the blood on the man's face. Shen Ninghua found that the man's face was as handsome as a crown of jade. This kind of person is not something she can provoke now, it is better to stay away as soon as possible.

"Just passing by." After Shen Ninghua finished speaking, she took two steps back, turned around and left quickly.

"You...are you going to die without saving him?" Seeing that Shen Ninghua had already got up and walked four or five steps away, without any intention of saving him, Chu Junyi hurriedly said again, "Have you heard of the Xiao family in the capital?"

Hearing this, Shen Ninghua turned around, quite surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face: "Are you from the Xiao family?"

"Xiao Jingran is my adoptive father."

After pondering for a while, Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and asked, "Do you have evidence?"

Chu Junyi raised his eyebrows. The woman in front of him knew the Xiao family, but she didn't mean to rush forward to make things happen. It's normal for a high school kid to behave like this, but she was so indifferent as a little girl, and he couldn't help but make him cry. Surprised: "This jade pendant is a token of the Xiao family. If you save my life, I will definitely repay you."

Glancing at the shape of the jade pendant, Shen Ninghua's mind moved slightly. This jade pendant is indeed a token of the Xiao family, a status symbol only available to the direct descendants of the Xiao family. The person in front of him claims to be the adopted son of the Xiao family. Chu Junyi is one of the sons.

"I don't know how much silver taels a life of Mr. Chu is worth?"

She actually knew her identity!

"Since you know my identity, you still only want money?" Chu Junyi was surprised. A life-saving grace can be exchanged for more things, but she wants money.

A sarcasm flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes: "Could it be that Mr. Chu wants me to ask for something else? That's not impossible, but tell me, what can you give me?"

Chu Junyi's tone choked up, he looked Shen Ninghua up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "Why be angry, I'm just talking, it's good if you want money, I'll give you whatever silver taels you want, as long as you help me Get out of the valley." He was seriously injured, and it was impossible to get out without help.

"I saved your life. After I go out, you give me 5000 taels, and this jade pendant will be used as a mortgage. You take the money, and I will pay you back the jade pendant. The money and property will be settled, and neither is owed. How about it?" Shen Ninghua raised her eyes and asked .

Shen Linghan and Baili Jinze tarnished her reputation, made her life in the cold palace worse than death, and even killed someone she valued very much. She will definitely get back this bloody hatred!But right now is just the first step. Returning to Shen's house requires a foundation of life, so money is a must. If someone sends it to your door, there is no reason not to accept it.

"5000 taels, me?" Chu Junyi couldn't help being dumb, not to mention his secret identity, but on the surface, he is the adopted son of the Xiao family, and he is also known as the twin best sons of the capital, and he is all over the court A seat is only worth 5000 taels?

"Gold!" Shen Ninghua spit out two words in a cold voice, with a little impatience in her eyes, if she didn't know that this person would live a prosperous life in the future, she would not have gotten into this mess.

"make a deal!"
