Reborn Concubine's Wife

Chapter 28 The West of the City (1)
Her proposal moved Zheng Ruo's heart, and the first thing she thought of was to sell Yang Zhi.But after thinking about it, treating Yang Zhi like this seems to be too cheap for her.What's more, she was the one who ran the family when Father wasn't here, and now she has to sell slaves to survive, so I'm afraid it won't sound too good to hear about it.It will ruin the reputation she has worked so hard to build.Furthermore, if this matter gets to the Patriarch's ears, I'm afraid he will blackmail the elder brother and speed up the decision to send her to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Thinking of this, she shook her head at Liu Xu, thought for a while, and ordered: "Give me a good carriage, let's go out."

"Girl, where are you going?"

"Go out and walk around, see if you can earn some money to buy food."

"The girl wants to go out to make money?" Liu Xu asked in disbelief.

Zheng Ruo smiled and nodded, "If you don't go out to make money, are you going to starve to death?"

"But girl, doing that will degrade your status as a lady of the family."

Zheng Ruo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Miss Family? Liu Xu, I'm just a concubine, didn't you hear what Fifth Sister said? I'm a lowly person. Lowly people have no food, so they have to find ways to earn money." Liu Xu His face was flushed red, and his face was full of anger, "Girl, you are not a lowly person. Even Xie Sanlang and Wang Jiulang have praised you."

"Liu Xu, you're right, I'm not humble." Zheng Ruo looked at the direction of Zheng Wan's yard and sneered, "As long as my back doesn't bend, no one will ride me up." After finishing these words in a low voice , she walked out first.

Liu Xu immediately followed, "Girl, are we really going out? It's a mess outside."

"Don't worry. These days are still peaceful."

Zheng Ruo walked quickly, Liu Xu could only trot to keep up.Today's girl has an idea in her heart, and not everyone can change it.

Xu Yi quickly set up the carriage, and Zheng Ruo told him to go to the west of the city first.The jade hairpin that she gave away last night still hurts a little.Moreover, it was too dark at night, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly.Thinking about it today, I suddenly feel that I am a little reckless?In her previous life, she had never seen the strange person that Shi Yue was talking about. What if the beggar last night was not the person Shi Yue was talking about?Wasn't her jade hairpin worth hundreds of golds gone in vain?
Forgot to ask the beggar's name last night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was too reckless, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful in her heart.To the west of the city, there are only a few dilapidated temples at a glance, and it is difficult to even shelter from the wind and rain.A few beggars in ragged clothes were sitting in the corner, basking in the sun and catching lice. When they heard the sound of a carriage approaching, they all raised their heads and glanced blankly.

Liu Xu opened the curtain of the car, looked around carefully, turned around and said to Zheng Ruo, "Girl, I don't see you."

Zheng Ruo actually saw the scene outside from the gap in the curtain, let alone the elder brother, the beggar and his companions were not there.I feel a little frustrated in my heart, but once the hairpin is sent out, it is impossible to get it back.Alas, if Dian sold that hairpin today, he could still buy several bags of corn.Now, she is only hungry.

"Go back." She put down the curtain and suddenly felt a little lack of interest.The rumbling of her stomach made her feel unreasonably depressed.

"No." Xu Yi agreed.

Just as the carriage turned around and was about to leave, those lazy beggars suddenly stood up one by one and surrounded the carriage.Some even came up to pull the reins.Xu Yi cursed loudly, swung his horsewhip, and lashed at the beggar, but it didn't help.These people were unmoved at all, they just stared at the kicking horse, and some even drooled.

The stench wafted into the carriage, and Liu Xu panicked.

"Girl, what should I do? Those beggars seem to want to hijack the carriage..." While speaking, some beggars were already planning to lift the curtain.Their eyes were burning, like wild animals seeing food. Hunger made them forget their dignity, and they only wanted to get food that could fill their stomachs.And this carriage that suddenly appeared here seemed to be a gift from God to them.In their cognition, those who can afford a carriage are those gentry lords.They have more food than they can eat!

Zheng Ruo was also flustered.She ignored the chaos in the west of the city, thinking that before the chaos came, Phoenix City was still peaceful.

Seeing some crazy beggars, Zheng Ruo gritted his teeth and shouted to Xu Yi outside: "Xu Yi, leave these people alone and let the horse run!"

"But, girl, there are too many people. If the horse goes mad, it will die."

Zheng Ruo pondered for a moment, and in just that moment, a beggar had already climbed onto the shaft of the car, and a dirty hand appeared on the curtain of the car.Once the curtain is lifted, everything about Zheng Ruo will be destroyed here.

"Xu Yi, let the horse run quickly!" Liu Xu screamed in fright.

"Girl..." Xu Yi still hesitated.

"Xu Yi, if the horse doesn't run, you and I will die today." Zheng Ruo said in a deep voice.

"No." Xu Yi agreed, swung the whip, and slapped the horse's butt.The horse was suffering from pain, raised its neck and neighed, and wanted to scatter its hooves, but there were too many beggars, and the hooves it just raised were hugged desperately by the beggars.

"Girl...girl... no, there are too many beggars." Xu Yi also panicked.

"What should I do? Girl?" Liu Xu was already scared to death.

Zheng Ruo blamed himself for being too careless, and couldn't think of any solution for a while.Could it be that in this life, instead of dying in the hands of Shi Yue, she would die among beggars instead?

The scene has become more and more chaotic.

Zheng Ruo's self-blame had no effect, her mind was running fast, thinking about how to get out of the predicament in front of her.Suddenly there was a loud cry from outside, causing the two people in the carriage to look at each other, seeing fear in each other's eyes.

Xu Yi had already been pulled off the carriage by the beggars.

"Girl...girl..." Liu Xu was terrified.

Zheng Ruo looked at her sadly, is it true that she is really going to die here today?
The curtain had been pulled open with a bang, and the stench from the beggar's body rushed straight into the carriage.The disgusting smell made the two of them cover their mouths and noses reflexively.When the beggar saw that it was a beautiful girl, he was stunned for a long time.Suddenly, they burst into exclamations.That voice seemed to be someone who had been hungry for a long time and finally saw delicious food!
