Rebirth of the Peerless Concubine

Chapter 17

The slum area is the most chaotic place in the entire capital, and Mu Meixin has never been here before.

There was stinky water under her feet, and there were low, dilapidated houses everywhere.

And there are some beggars on the side of the road. The eyes they looked at her made her feel sad, they were begging eyes.

"Miss, give me something to eat." A skinny child held out his hand to her.There is an adult next to the child.She looks like a girl.

Mu Meixin hesitated for a moment, then took out a small coin from her pocket and gave it to the child.

After the child took the money in surprise, he immediately said to the adult: "Daddy, we have the money now, we can eat steamed buns."

"Thank you, miss." The adult took the money from the child and said in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I want to ask you, do you know where you can find out the news?" Mu Meixin asked.

"I don't know, you can ask someone else." After hearing what she said, the man panicked and dragged the child away.

……

Mu Meixin was stunned, what happened to this man?Can't you ask the place?
How would she find that place?
At this moment, suddenly, a group of people ran in front, the leader was a child, the child looked very strange, it turned out to be red hair, she should be a girl from the clothes she was wearing.

"Stop, you little bunny, do you want to run away after stealing my things? It's not that easy!" The people behind shouted while chasing.He brought more than 20 people, menacing.

The kid in front was not in a hurry at all, he was still having fun, grinning loudly, and ran over in a gust of wind.

Seeing such a large group of people rushing over, Mu Meixin hurriedly hid on the side of the street.

The child was in front of her in a blink of an eye, and then he stopped.

He looked straight at Mu Meixin.

Why do you look at her like that?
Mu Meixin looked at the little girl curiously, her face was extremely ugly, her cheeks were full of horrible red bumps, but her eyes were beautiful, bright and dazzling, dark red like her hair.

After looking around, the little girl was still staring at her in a daze.

And the person who was chasing her was almost catching up.

"What are you going to do? Little sister, those people are coming after you." Not wanting the little girl to be chased by those people, Mu Meixin kindly reminded her.

"Mother, I finally found you, woo...Mother, how can you bear not to look at Xin'er for so long!" The little girl hugged her, said pitifully, and cried loudly.

What's the situation now?
Mu Meixin was stunned for a moment.Looking down at the dirty little girl, he wanted to push her away.But after being hugged tightly by the little girl and pushing her away once, she couldn't bear to push her away again.

At this time, the people behind caught up to the front.

"Mother, don't lose your heart in the future, okay?" The little girl raised her head and said to Mu Meixin with tears in her eyes.

"Wow, this thief is your child!" said the man who was chasing him suddenly.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not her mother." Mu Meixin hurriedly explained that she didn't want to be misunderstood by these people.

"Who would believe it? She can't tell lies at such a young age. I just thought how could she steal at such a young age? It must be you who instigated it. Pay back the money quickly." A black and thin man in the lead said angrily .

"Yes, you must have instigated her to steal. Return our things quickly." Twenty people shouted in unison, with great momentum.

These people are mistaken.

She couldn't explain herself clearly, but they believed what the little girl said.

"Tell them that I didn't let you steal things, right?" Mu Meixin said to the red-haired child gently.

"Mother, do you blame me for stealing their things, but Xin'er is hungry, Xin'er didn't do it on purpose." The little girl held her hand tightly and said aggrievedly.

... Mu Meixin was speechless, feeling a little sorry for the child.

"Give us back our things, or I'll beat you to death." The pursuers surrounded the two of them and said viciously.

"Mother, I'm afraid..." the little girl put her head between Mu Meixin's legs tightly and whispered.

"Okay, okay, what did she steal from you? I'll compensate you." Mu Meixin could just walk away, but she couldn't bear the child to be bullied. Even if she felt that something was wrong, she would still pay the little girl.

"She stole 200 taels of silver from us, you can return it." The first person stretched out his hand, and his eyes lit up when he heard that she was willing to give the money.

"I don't have two hundred, but I have 50 taels. Take it if you want it, or forget it if you don't." Mu Meixin took a silver peg from her bosom.

Seeing her silver anchor, the man spat and hesitated.

At this moment, Mu Meixin felt that the little girl was pulling the corner of her clothes, so she looked at her.The little girl whispered: "Mother, I didn't steal so much from them, at most five taels of silver..."

"En, I see." Mu Meixin nodded, smiled and patted her head.

"50 taels is not enough to pay for what she stole. We can't let you go. At least 150 taels." After thinking for a while, the thin man said.He didn't hear the little girl's words.

"It's only 50 taels. If you don't want to, you can report to the officials." Mu Meixin snorted coldly.

This person is really greedy, if he doesn't let go, she will let him not get a tael of silver!
"..." The black and thin man was unable to make up his mind for a while when he heard her tone was very firm.

"Then I'll take it back." Not wanting to wait any longer, Mu Meixin's face suddenly turned cold, and she put the peacock of silver into her pocket.

"Come on, just fifty, here you go." The black and thin man felt distressed when he saw that Mu Meixin had collected the money again.

Seeing that they agreed, Mu Meixin didn't bother to say anything, and threw the silver anchor to him.

The man got the silver anchor and stopped surrounding them.

Finally getting rid of these people, Mu Meixin felt that the little girl was safe and no longer needed her protection.So he said to the little girl, "Now that no one is chasing you, where is your home? I'll take you home!"

"Mother, your home is my home! Don't rush away, okay?" the little girl begged, tears streaming down her face.

I don't want to go home, but I want to follow her all the time!
How can this work?Mu Meixin became anxious all of a sudden, she had something to do here, so she couldn't take her with her.

So he persuaded the little girl: "But if you don't go home, your father will worry about you."

"Daddy doesn't want me anymore. He hasn't come back for many days! I have nothing to eat and I'm so hungry. Mom, take me home. I promise I won't bother you!"

This……

This little girl is so pitiful!No mother, no father, no food to eat, no wonder I want to steal something!

If he didn't accept her, would she have no food or drink, and would have to steal other people's things and be beaten to death?

What a pity!And she also called her mother...

Thinking of this, Mu Meixin couldn't bear to chase the little girl away.

"You follow me, but you must listen to me, you know?"

Mu Meixin finally accepted the girl.

"Great, mother is the best!" The girl cheered and threw herself into Mu Meixin's arms.

"Okay, listen to me, you will call me sister from now on, not mother. Do you understand?" Thinking of the child's horrifying address to her, Mu Meixin immediately corrected her.If she called her like that, her father would definitely tear her skin apart when she went back.

"Why? You look very similar to my mother. You are my mother. Why don't you let me call?" The girl pouted dissatisfied.

"Call me elder sister, otherwise you won't see me in the future. Elder sister is similar to mother, they are the ones who love you." Mu Meixin laughed.

Explain to the girl that you can't call her mother, maybe she doesn't understand, so Mu Meixin simply didn't explain.Order directly.

The girl pouted and felt dissatisfied. Although she didn't understand why she couldn't call her mother, she stopped resisting and accepted Mu Meixin's words.

The girl agreed.After settling down the girl, Mu Meixin decided to continue looking for the Beggar Information Gang.

She walked with the little girl on her back, and when she saw a beggar, she asked the whereabouts of the Beggar Information Gang.

Even after asking four or five people like this, they didn't know the whereabouts of the Beggar Information Gang, and their behavior was very strange.Once Mu Meixin uttered the words Beggar Information Gang, they would show scared expressions, and then rush away.

It's not that one person is so abnormal, but four or five people are very scared.How is this going?

Isn't the beggar information gang not a kind gang?To bully people?So that people are scared when they hear it?
Mu Meixin was puzzled.

At this time, she didn't see that the heart on her back was leisurely, comfortable and rejuvenated, showing a fox-like smile at this time.

Not being able to find anyone, Mu Meixin was very frustrated.She stopped, looked carefully at the road in front of her, and thought about whether she should look for it, or go back here.

Suddenly, I heard a sweet voice from Xin'er: "Sister, what are you looking for for the beggar's information?"

"I want to ask them to help me monitor someone." After Mu Meixin answered briefly, she was thinking about how to find them.

"I know where they are." Xin'er said suddenly.

"Oh……"

Mu Meixin replied lightly.

Then she realized what Xin'er said.

She knows where they are!

She turned her head in a daze and stared at Xin'er in disbelief and asked Xin'er again: "Do you know where the Beggar Information Gang is?"

"Yes, sister, are you going there? I can take you there." Xin'er nodded her head and said with a smile.

"Xin'er, you are amazing. You actually know that place!" Mu Meixin said happily. "Of course, Xin'er is very powerful." Xin'er replied crisply.

"How do you know where the Beggar Information Gang is? Why do people here mention them as scared?" Mu Meixin asked out of her doubts.

"Because they are forbidden to talk about the Information Gang, if they do, they will be severely punished." Xin'er said with a smile.

It turned out to be the case.

With Xiner leading the way, Mu Meixin soon arrived at the information gang's residence.

This place is very large, with hundreds of households connected by dilapidated courtyards.The two were in a hall, and a guard stopped them.

"I want to see your principal." Mu Meixin said to the guard.

"Do you have hand guards?" the guard asked impatiently.The two children, one big and one small, looked like they were here to play around.

After all, there are no children to send tasks.
