C47 (2/2)

But in the next moment, Ershan became serious, he recognized this person, the thief who stole the purse at the temple.

”My purse, did you see it?” The woman spoke, but as she spoke, her frail body fell to the ground with a loud crash.

”Girl? ”Young lady!” Ershan cried out in alarm, shocking the people in the shop.

When Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan took off her clothes, even the skin inside was wrinkled from the blisters. It was such a cold day, the temperature of her body was unable to cover her clothes dry, and a thin layer of ice had formed on her back.

But now, her entire body was boiling hot, and her body was burning like a furnace. Ershan went to the town overnight to find a doctor he was familiar with, and the doctor took his pulse and said, ”The cold enters my lungs, it's hard.”

They met at the temple fair that day, and the young lady's face was smeared with charcoal. Originally, she couldn't see it clearly, but now that her eyes were closed, Xiaowan couldn't really recognize her, but Aunt Zhang had seen her face carefully before, so she recognized him, and Ershan recognized him as well.

Looking at his drenched clothes, he wasn't dressed in the red of an ordinary household, but an exquisite and exquisite embroidered gown. Without a doubt, this was the Prefect's daughter who had passed by his door in the morning and then drowned herself on the boat.

However, how could a precious daughter of the Prefect become a thief in a town?

Aunt Zhang said to Xiaowan: ”Susu's cotton shoes were clean on her feet. I had thought that she might not be a thief, she just wanted to play around.

The Xiaowan felt that this was unbelievable.

However, the unconscious man let out a sound. Her body was twitching from the pain, and she was crying out, ”Big sister, big sister …”

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Seeing this scene, Xiaowan's heart ached. She unconsciously raised her right hand, hoping that this girl could live on.

For the entire night, Aunt Zhang and Xiaowan stayed by her side, wiping white wine on their bodies, opening their mouths to drink medicine, and then tormenting themselves until dawn. The two of them were so tired that they fell asleep with their backs against their backs.

The person on the bed finally opened his eyes as he instinctively shouted, ”Water, water...”

Xiaowan suddenly woke up from her stupor and ran over to the bedside. ”Miss, you're awake?”

She rolled her eyes slightly, asking for more water. ”Water …”

Although he was still hot, but when the doctor saw that he did not want to lose his life, it was truly a miracle. Although last night was very busy, Xiaowan did not know if it was considered her wish, but to be able to live was definitely a good thing.

As for the Prefect's surname Meng, the one on the bed was Miss Meng. After the Xiaowan covered her with the blanket, Ling Chaofeng and the others came over.

The moment Miss Meng saw Ershan through the curtain, he immediately started tossing and turning. He reached out his hand from the curtain: ”You, did you see my purse?”

Ershan was startled, thinking back to the money bag he had picked up at the temple fair, he immediately said: ”I'll go get it for you.”

Miss Meng's maiden name was Lian Yi and her elder sister's name was Meng Lianxiu. That purse was something that her elder sister had left behind for her, a treasure that she regarded as her life.

When she took him back from Ershan's hands, the sickly man's tears fell like rain, tightly holding onto his chest, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. Ershan finally understood that the reason she saw him on the palanquin yesterday was because she wanted to ask him if he had seen the bag.

After Meng Lianyi gradually calmed down, she took a look at the person in front of him. She knew all the Aunt Zhang s, had seen them before, and even stole them at the temple once, so Ling Chaofeng was a stranger. What made her even more surprised was that the foolish and beautiful young lady was actually his wife.

In the eyes of a young miss like Meng Lianyi, the Xiaowan was a lively and cheerful person who had no shrewdness at all. With just a glance, she was already silly, and using the word silly to describe her, it was not because she was really dumb, but because Lian Yi was a person that indulged herself in the Shangguan Family's world where only benefits between people, afraid that she would not be able to live in her world.

Naturally, he was extremely worried.

She coughed a few times. She was still as dizzy as she had been that day at the temple party, proud and stubborn. ”Have you reported to the officials?”

The Xiaowan said, ”No, it was midnight last night. Now we are discussing whether we should send you off or go report to the officials first.”

Meng Lianyi stared at Xiaowan: ”Do not report me to the officials. I will leave immediately. I will leave immediately.” She gasped for breath and tried to get up, but she couldn't muster any strength. Her face was red again and she looked miserable.

The Xiaowan said, ”You should calm down. Don't get so excited, you can't even keep your life anymore.”

However, Meng Lianyi held onto Xiaowan's hand tightly, and used all of her strength, to the point of making Xiaowan feel painful, ”Miss, I beg you, do not inform the officials, do not tell them that I am here, just treat it as my death, and treat it as my death in Baisha River …”

She gasped for breath, as though she was unable to connect at all. Xiaowan hurriedly said: ”I got it, we will not report you to the officials, and we will not hand you over to anyone else. You lie down, if you continue tormenting me, you will really die.”

Meng Lianyi's breath was erratic, he fell down and closed her eyes, but a moment before she fell asleep she said, ”Thank you.”

Everyone was silent, they arranged for her to stay, and then went back downstairs. Seeing Ling Chaofeng's serious expression, Xiaowan obediently stood at the side, not daring to make a sound.

The Aunt Zhang and the Uncle Biao's gaze at each other seemed to have already communicated. Ershan slowly walked towards the house, but suddenly turned and said, ”Shopkeeper, why not listen to Miss Meng and keep her.”

Xiaowan quickly agreed. ”Husband, I had no choice but to promise her just now. Otherwise, if she keeps on tormenting herself and her life is about to end, she can't go back on her word.” She shook her head. ”I really didn't care.”

Ling Chaofeng lightly tapped her forehead. ”You saw someone who escaped from the marriage, so you just blindly tried. Do you know that she is the daughter of the Lord Prefect?”

Xiaowan immediately replied obediently, ”I'll listen to your decision.”

Aunt Zhang laughed and hugged her: ”You are getting smarter and smarter now.”

Ling Chaofeng naturally could not just watch as she died. Furthermore, it was rare for Ershan to request anything in return, and she could not disappoint him, so he replied: ”Wait until she recovers, then we can discuss more. If the people from the yamen manage to find his, then we can ask her three questions.”
