C12 (1/2)

Although Ming Liu was extremely unwilling, she was still dragged out of the Duke Palace by Qin Nuo. Using Qin Nuo's words, Ming Liu's body was pretty much the same as hers, she could wear the clothes she brought from outside the manor. Ming Liu was stunned for a moment at the coarse clothes worn by commoners. Could it be that this Empress would frequently go out when she was at home?

Even though Peaches was a bit calmer, she couldn't help but secretly complain. If only she knew that Empress would change into her own clothes and leave the palace, she might as well hide her own bag and not give it to her!

”Miss, where are we going?” Ming Liu whispered.

Qin Nuo strolled around, going through the stalls. When she met something interesting, she would show it to Ming Liu. This was Ming Liu's first time shopping, and her eyes were no longer used to it. Especially the little gadgets on the stall, she couldn't get rid of them easily, but they were not expensive either. After walking for a while, Qin Nuo didn't buy anything. Instead, she bought a few things.

”Miss, look!” After turning around the corner, Ming Liu's gaze was immediately attracted to a group of people. What's that for? ”

It was most likely a trick to show off his skills! Qin Nuo thought in her heart. Whether it was good or bad was secondary. The key point was that there were too many people here! He might even be able to shake off the tails that was following her and Ming Liu! Although it was fine, their moods were different.

”Let's go over and take a look!” Qin Nuo said.

The two of them quickly arrived at the back of the crowd. There were quite a few people here, and many of them stretched their necks, not knowing what was going on inside.

Seeing that, Ming Liu immediately put the little thing in her hand back into its sleeves and tried to go forward, but after going around left and right a few times, she still could not find a place to go. Don't just look at Ming Liu in the prince's mansion, she was extremely reserved outside, and disdained to squeeze in with those commoners.

Just as she was about to ask Qin Nuo if she could stop watching, she suddenly heard her Empress shouting: ”Ah! Whose silver! Why did it fall to the ground? ”

The crowd immediately became restless. They all lowered their heads, looked back, or looked left and right, and there were even some who turned around to look for the source of the sound. Before Ming Liu could even understand what was happening, Qin Nuo grabbed onto her arm and squeezed through the gap.

Qin Nuo pulled Ming Liu and dodged to the left and right, quickly arriving at the front. It wasn't a trick she was thinking of to show off, but a girl selling herself to bury her father.

The girl's eyes were red and swollen. Except for her eyes, or perhaps her eyelids, her entire face was inconspicuous. His hair was not as messy as weeds, but it was still randomly bunched up. More than half of it was spread out and many of his hair was covering his face, making it hard to see his appearance. One could only see that his face was not very clean, and there were many traces of dust and tears on it. His clothes were also dirty, as if they hadn't been changed in days.

Qin Nuo determined that she was a girl from her figure. Looking at her thin and weak body, he seemed to be eleven or twelve years old. She was kneeling there, looking extremely lonely and helpless.

”Little sister, where's your father?” Qin Nuo originally did not want to meddle in other people's business, but he could not hide the curiosity in his heart. The 'selling one's body to bury one's father' in her imagination was not as simple as just leaving a sign by her side. Wasn't she going to bring that 'not being able to live in the grave and settle down as her father?'

”In a run-down temple outside the city.” ”Yes,” the young girl replied in a low voice. I can't carry him! Besides, looking at my appearance, it's already not bad that I can enter the city myself. How would I dare to bring my father along? ”

”I heard that this child has been here for two days. Everyone is afraid of falling into the trap, so we just asked.” The person beside Qin Nuo whispered.

Qin Nuo naturally thought of this. The human heart was not the same as it was in the past. In her previous world, there were too many swindlers and clappers, so everyone had no choice but to remain silent and indifferent. Who knew if such a thing would happen in a place with an ancient human heart!

”How much money do you need to bury your father?” Qin Nuo asked again.

”I'm not sure either! Just a clean set of clothes and a coffin. ” Her expression was a little wooden, as if she had already answered Qin Nuo's question several times, giving up any hope long ago.

Qin Nuo's heart felt a little soft.

In the same space, knowing that the person kneeling or lying there asking for money might be a liar, she would throw a little money, according to her own judgment. Sometimes, when she was giving money to those people, someone would laugh and say something like, ”Actually, he is richer than you”. But she couldn't help thinking that even if she was cheated, it would only be a few dollars. But if those people were in trouble, perhaps a few dollars would really help them.

After thinking for a while, Qin Nuo took out a piece of silver from her bag and gave it to the girl.

”Is this enough?”

She didn't bring the money bag with her. It was because when Peaches heard that she had to go shopping, she gave her her own money so that she could use it. She even promised that she would do better for her in the future!
