Fast-traveling female supporting role slaps face in life

Chapter 217 The shrew is in power (12)

The county magistrate originally thought that the county would produce a candidate to highlight his achievements, but who knew that Yao Wusheng was so unusable, his life was over.

The county magistrate was really resentful and angry. A good scholar actually ruined himself because of a romantic affair. Now he still owes the money, so he can only be sentenced to pay the money immediately, otherwise the house will be mortgaged.

As a scholar, Yao Wusheng was brought to the court, it was a great humiliation, he stayed at home all day in shame and indignation, because he had no money for medical treatment, his illness became more and more serious.

Yue Xuan walked to the door of Yao's house with a basket in his hand, wanting to go in to see if the other party knew his mistake now.

Seeing that the other party was picked up by a luxurious carriage, he became suspicious, could it be that the other party has other backers?
"Auntie, what are you doing in the Yao family?" Yue Xuan has now lost weight, has a beautiful face, and a plump figure. His smile is like a hibiscus emerging from the water, making people's eyes brighter.

A flash of surprise flashed in the aunt's eyes, "You look good, girl! I heard that a nobleman not only repaid the money to the Yao family, but also took Yao Xiucai and his mother to the capital for treatment."

Yue Xuan's thoughts sank, his eyes darkened, "What does the nobleman look like?"

The aunt shook her head, "I don't know."

Could it be Cheng Xiao? Yue Xuan pondered for a moment, it seemed that she had to go to the capital.This Yao Wusheng's luck is too good, or is this Cheng Xiao too good at courting death?
Yue Xuan persuaded his father, packed up everything and rushed to the capital.

Walking through the woods, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be the sound of fighting. Yue Xuan immediately stopped the carriage and got out quickly.

She took a small path, which was also a short cut, and looked down, and saw a group of men in black fighting fiercely with a group of guards, and the servant girls were protecting a beautiful girl in Chinese clothes.It doesn't look small at first glance.

Obviously the man in black had the upper hand, and the maid immediately escorted the young lady to escape in a panic.

Yue Xuan followed immediately, and she mentioned the butcher's knife her father gave her for self-defense. To be honest, she refused, but her father said that she was used to it, and it matched her very well.

cough!Is this to remind her not to forget her roots?
Shangguan Qing'er saw that she was about to become the soul under the knife in the hands of the man in black, she couldn't help closing her eyes, and waited for a long time, but the pain did not come, she opened her eyes and saw that the man in black was being used by someone With the knife resting on his neck, he was quickly kicked away by the opponent, and his life was cut off.

"Are you okay?" A low and pleasant voice sounded.

Shangguan Qing'er raised his eyes and saw a handsome young man with a majestic temperament and bright and magnanimous eyes. His face turned red and he said softly: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

Yue Xuan disguised himself as a man in order to walk more easily.

"It's fine. May I ask you who these people are?" Yue Xuan was curious, and planned to ask clearly before leaving.

"My name is Shangguan Qing'er. I am the daughter of the current Prime Minister Shangguanli. My father is an upright man. There are many people who have offended the court. They must be the ones. For safety, you should leave early. The days to come will be difficult." Shangguan Qing'er persuaded with concern.

Shangguan Qing'er? Isn't that Yao Wu's predestined noble wife? He never expected to meet her here.Moreover, Shangguanli is indeed a good official who loves the people like a son, with both ability and virtue, but his temper is pedantic.

When Yao Wusheng was able to marry Shangguan Qing'er, it was Cheng Xiao who made it happen.This can be regarded as making wedding clothes for others.

Shangguanli attaches great importance to the royal bloodline. How can he be convinced when Cheng Xiao, a eunuch, controls the government?
There are many minions of Cheng Xiao in the court, and there are many people who don't like Shangguanli's style.

It's just that for so many years, Shangguanli is still alive and well, this is his strength.

Presumably Cheng Xiao didn't really want to kill him, but just wanted to control him.

"It turns out that she is the daughter of a loyal prime minister. I am convinced that she can save the young lady." Yue Xuan said with admiration, "I know some fists and kicks. If the young lady can trust me, then let me escort the young lady back to the house."

Shangguan Qing'er was naturally grateful.

"Is Sunny all right?"

The man sitting in the upper seat has a handsome face and a majestic expression, but he looks very young in his thirties.

Shangguan Qing'er respectfully said: "Qing'er is fine, thank you for your concern."

Insufficient closeness, more than obedience, not as close as other fathers and daughters at all.

Yue Xuan looked at Shangguan Li, but he happened to meet the other person's deep eyes that seemed to see through people, and smiled slightly, as bright as the morning sun.

Shangguan Li's eyes flashed, and he looked sharply at the handsome young man in front of him.However, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is still calm and courageous when facing himself.

"I heard from Qing'er that you saved her. I thank the young master for saving her, but I don't know why the young master appeared there? Where is he from? Where does he live?"

So much like the attitude of interrogating a prisoner.

Yue Xuan responded with a smile: "My lord, is this investigating the household registration? Please rest assured, my lord, I didn't have any malicious intentions, and it was just a coincidence that I met Miss Shangguan. Besides, the grass people just want to send the lady safely to the mansion and will leave. Your lord's Worrying is unnecessary. Farewell." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Father." Shangguan Qing'er anxiously looked at Shangguanli who looked more and more serious, "Father, Mr. Yue is not that kind of person, Father, you are thinking too much."

It was the first time for Shangguan Qing'er to refute Shangguanli. Seeing the other party's eyes turned cold, she felt very uncomfortable, but she felt sorry for Mr. Yue in her heart, and she believed that Mr. Yue was not that kind of person.

Yue Xuan didn't expect the prime minister to be so cautious and suspicious. Is he probably eating an extra bowl of rice from his family? At least to thank himself, it would be nice to give him some silver.

The most important thing now is to find a place to live and a good meal.

The capital is bustling and bustling, and there are cries of hawkers everywhere.

"Buy wontons, delicious and cheap wontons."

When Yue Xuan saw the small stall on the roadside, there was a seductive fragrance in the air, not because he was greedy, but because the woman who was in charge of washing dishes and doing chores was Xiaoxia.

She was dressed in commoner clothes, her skin was rough and yellow, she was not as white and beautiful as she was when she was a maid, and the wonton seller next to her saw that she was moving slowly, so she cursed at her.

"Boss, a bowl of wontons." Yue Xuan sat down directly at the stall.

"Okay, sir, just wait, I'll be on the job right away." The boss turned to face the slow Xiaoxia with a smile on his face, "Hurry up, don't you?"

Unwilling, Xiaoxia didn't dare to speak back, for fear of being scolded again, so she could only do rough work numbly.

"Boss, after all, it's your daughter-in-law, how can you treat her like this? Let alone a handsome daughter-in-law." Yue Xuan persuaded.

When Xiaoxia heard someone speak for her, she happily met a handsome face, blushed immediately, and hesitated to speak.

The boss looked helpless and aggrieved, "Master, I don't know, I bought this woman as a wife for ten taels of silver, and I planned to treat her well, but she wouldn't let me touch her body, and pointed at me with scissors. I I bought it to have a son, not to be an ancestor. I just cursed, but I never beat anyone."

Xiaoxia quickly defended herself and said: "My lord, I was kidnapped and sold. I beg you to save me." After speaking, she fell to her knees in front of Yue Xuan with a plop, tears streaming down her face, very pitiful.

The boss was very angry, "What do you mean, mother-in-law? How have I ever treated you badly? Those ten taels are all my savings. If I hadn't bought you, you would have been bought into a brothel. What's the point of asking you to do rough work?" ?”

Yue Xuan saw that the boss had an ordinary face and rough hands. Although he was a common man, he was not a villain.

"How about I redeem her for 15 taels?" As soon as Yue Xuan said this, the boss was very pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed.

Xiaoxia's eyes were eager, and her heart was filled with excitement.
