Seeing the woman holding the child getting closer and closer.

At the critical moment, the secret guard stood in front of Shen Ruoyan, took out the hidden weapon hidden in his waist and was about to shoot at the woman.

"No!" Shen Ruoyan shouted sternly.

She is Lu Yan's wife and represents the Lu family. If he instructs the secret guards to shoot this lady in front of so many people, others will definitely say that he killed innocent people indiscriminately.

What's more, she was holding a dying child in her arms?

The secret guard reacted immediately after being reminded by Shen Ruoyan.

In addition to his original identity, the Young Pavilion Master is also an official of the imperial court. He needs to take care of many things. He cannot use force to solve all problems as is the rule in the world.

But do we have to watch this woman rush into the young lady with her sick child in her arms?

The young lady is still pregnant with a baby.

Nothing can happen to her.

At the critical moment, the secret guard bent down, picked up a stone from the flowers at his feet, moved his hand down a few inches, concentrated his energy, and hit the woman's calf.

The running woman felt a pain in her leg and fell to the ground.

Because the secret guard took action too quickly, no one could see his movements clearly.

In the eyes of others, the woman seemed to have fallen due to too much emotion. Even the woman herself did not suspect that her fall was caused by the Lu family.

The woman fell to the ground, firmly protecting her child.

Just when Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief, the woman who fell on the ground did not give up. She endured the pain in her legs and insisted on holding her child and moving step by step in the direction of Shen Ruoyan.

Looking at the woman struggling to move forward, the two emotions of pity and hate kept surging in Shen Ruoyan's heart.

Shen Ruoyan is pregnant with a child and is about to become a mother.

She can deeply understand the powerlessness and pain that comes from the heart of a mother when she sees her child being tortured by the disease.

But at the same time, she was also angry at this woman's behavior of trying to drag others into trouble because her child was sick.

poor person must have something mean.

Shen Ruoyan exhaled a breath, raised her voice and said to the woman who was approaching her step by step: "Madam, I want to ask you a few questions.

If I really had a way to cure the plague, why would I stay in my house so miserable, worrying day and night?

Why should I watch everyone suffer?

I ask you, what good will this do to me? "

The woman's crawling forward stopped.

At the same time, everyone present was also asked two questions by Shen Ruoyan.

A gust of wind blew, causing ripples on the water.

It also awakened everyone's reason buried deep in their hearts.

Because Mr. Lu's reputation is so good, it is easy for everyone to have high expectations for him.

At the same time, everyone also felt that Mr. Lu’s wife must be a unique woman, and as long as the Lu family took action, they would definitely be able to help them.

But they all forgot.

The person standing in front of him is not a saint or a Bodhisattva.

She is just an ordinary woman, and she is also a pregnant mother.

Although she was obviously the most qualified to ask to leave, Mrs. Lu chose to stay and tide over the difficulties with them, but they still didn't know what to do, and clamored into other people's houses, asking for some magical elixir.

After thinking everything through, everyone lowered their heads in shame.

The crowd fell into an eerie silence.

Under the invisible pressure, one person couldn't hold it in any longer. Like a deflated rubber ball, he sat down on the ground and said with a cry: "If I don't go back, the family next door to my house will get sick. They all will." died!

I will definitely catch the plague when I go back, which means I will die.

Woohoo, I don’t want to die.

Woohoo, I'm so scared.

How to do?

What on earth should I do? "

As he said this, a grown man covered his face and cried softly.

His cry was like a hook, bringing out the sadness and fear in everyone's hearts, and many people's eyes became red.

When they thought of death that would come to them at some point, everyone wiped their tears silently.

They survived the natural disaster two years ago and the man-made disaster a year ago.

Seeing that life is finally getting better.

Why let this happen to them again?

What did they do wrong, and why did suffering come to them again and again?

The low sobs spread quickly. Affected by the sad atmosphere, many people sobbed quietly at first. Later, when they saw everyone was crying, they started crying loudly, as if they wanted to shed all the pain in their hearts through tears. and flow away.

When Liang Zhengxiu hurried over with a group of soldiers in armor, he saw a large group of people crying loudly.

His heart tightened and his legs became weak. He grabbed the arm of the soldier on the side to steady himself.

Just now, he was distributing food to the people in the city. Suddenly someone came to report that Lu Mansion was under siege. Many crazy people wanted to break into Lu Mansion.

Realizing that something was wrong, Liang Zhengxiu immediately led his people and rushed here at lightning speed.

Panting, he ran into the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and what he saw was the scene of everyone crying in unison. Liang Zhengxiu's face turned pale, thinking that he was still a step too late after all.

Did Mrs. Lu have an accident?

Mrs. Lu is the person that Mr. Lu cares about most. If something happens to Mrs. Lu, how should he explain to Mr. Lu?

Liang Zhengxiu pushed aside the crowd tremblingly, and walked to the front with empty steps. He looked around blankly, and all he saw were ordinary people crying until their eyes were filled with tears.

Liang Zhengxiu's hands and feet became cold and he wanted to sit down and cry.

His eyes swept across the crowd unconsciously, and suddenly he saw Shen Ruoyan standing in front of the lake pavilion intact not far away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Mrs. Lu is fine!

Soon, soldiers in armor lined up like a silver wall, blocking the way of the Lu family.

Liang Zhengxiu trotted up to Shen Ruoyan, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Mrs. Lu is frightened. I will drive all these people away now."

"No need to drive them away." Shen Ruoyan shook her head.

Liang Zhengxiu thought she was speaking out of anger and hurriedly consoled her: "I was negligent today, Mrs. Lu. I will definitely send someone to guard the door of your residence in the future to ensure that no one will escape..."

Shen Ruoyan raised her hand and interrupted him.

"What I mean is that I will take people out and find another way to live." Shen Ruoyan explained.

"What?" Liang Zhengxiu panicked.

Anyone would be angry if so many people barged into his home for no reason, not to mention that Mrs. Lu was the daughter of a wealthy family, so she must have felt uncomfortable to say that.
