The Regent's Tender Darling

The bearded men took the money and didn't stay much longer, and quickly left.

When Ping'er turned around, she saw Ma Pingfeng and her girl holding hands, looking so affectionate and concubine-like, which made her inexplicably angry.

At this time, Ping'er didn't know why. She just couldn't stand Ma Pingfeng anymore. He was just a poor scholar, but his family still owed so much money.

What kind of man is difficult for her girl to find? Such a man is just a nuisance and should never be wanted.

I paid it back this time, but I don’t know how much money I will have to pay next time. Unless Ma Pingfeng’s brother dies outside, this vicious cycle can be broken.

Otherwise, not only will one owe a lot, but it will be very difficult for people who love gambling to quit gambling.

Just like her father, he gambled desperately, as if the gambling house was his biological father. In the end, it was not enough that his wife and children were separated, and he had to kill her mother and brother before he realized that he was wrong.

But after admitting his mistake, he continued to gamble, and was eventually beaten to death by people from the gambling house.

And she was able to live such a good life because her mother sold her as a young child to the Chen Mansion before her death.

So she hates this kind of gambler the most!

"Brother Ma, are you in pain?" Chen Luo didn't care about the pain in his body, he only cared about Ma Pingfeng.

Especially the right side of Ma Pingfeng's face was lightly bruised, which made Chen Luo feel even more distressed. His eyes were sour and he couldn't stop crying.

"Luo'er, I'm fine." Seeing Chen Luo cry, Ma Pingfeng felt a little stiff all over. He wanted to reach out to wipe away Chen Luo's tears, but before his hand touched Chen Luo's face, Ping'er forced him away. distance.

"Mr. Ma! There are differences between men and women. Please keep your distance from my girl, Mr. Ma."

"Ping'er!"

Chen Luo immediately scolded Ping'er, then wiped his tears and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, you still have me."

"Luo'er...I..." Ma Pingfeng hesitated for a moment, with a heavy look on his face, and finally took out a jade pendant hidden in the innermost part of his clothes.

"This is a token given by Ms. Chen to Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma has always carried it close to him. Now it has returned to its original owner."

Ma Pingfeng offered the jade pendant with both hands. Chen Luo was stunned, and his astonishment could not calm down for a long time.

"Brother Ma...you...what do you mean?"

"Mou can no longer be a drag..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Luo suddenly pushed Ma Pingfeng, with tears in his eyes and angrily, he stared into Ma Pingfeng's eyes and said fiercely: "If Brother Ma thinks Luo'er is afraid of being dragged down, just throw it away." Go ahead, don’t give it back to me!”

After saying these words, Chen Luo raised his sleeves and covered his face and ran away angrily. Ping'er also quickly chased after him, leaving Ma Pingfeng alone in the alley.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and finally held it tightly in his hand.

…

——Three days later.

"Second aunt." Lin Jiaojiao found her second aunt Liu in the accounting room after searching for a long time in Chen's house.

She was really too busy in the Chen Mansion. She learned from her grandmother that her second aunt was giving her grandmother a birthday banquet. When her grandmother was taking a nap, she thought of coming to see if there was anything she could do to help.

In the accounting room, Mrs. Liu was frowning, as was the accounting gentleman beside her.

After seeing Lin Jiaojiao come in, Ms. Liu quickly stood up from her chair and greeted Lin Jiaojiao, with most of the sadness on her face covered up.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Mrs. Liu gently held Lin Jiaojiao's hand, her eyes gentle and loving.

But how could Lin Jiaojiao fail to notice that Mr. Liu forced a smile like this? Without any courtesy, he asked directly: "Second aunt, what happened?"
