I gave it to you, but I didn't want it back

Mian Niang's eyes were wide opened as she looked at the other party in disbelief.

"I have poison, or?"

Jiang Ting was expressionless, his tone of voice did not have any fluctuations, it was as though he was chatting with his neighbors.

Mian Niang immediately waved her hand: "There's no need, there's no need!"

Her original intention was not to use a dagger. The man only thought that she was saying that she didn't need poison, so he brought the dagger in front of her, indicating that she should take it.

Mian Niang subconsciously took a step back and didn't extend her hand to receive it.

"Why?"

Jiang Ting looked at her, his indifferent eyes revealing a trace of confusion.

"Mr. Jiang."

Mian Niang carefully considered her words, and said: "I can ask you, you are clearly a member of the Prince Rong's Mansion, why are you helping me time and time again?"

"Why?"

The man who was usually indifferent also didn't seem to understand this question. He also didn't know why he wanted to help her when he saw that she was being bullied.

"Make it up."

He quickly found an excuse for himself. "When I was using my sword to threaten your brother and sister-in-law, I never thought that things would turn out like this. I almost caused your family to be ruined."

However, he couldn't convince himself with this reason. He had experienced more than this, and he couldn't bear to do anything about it. However, he had never been so childish before.

As he thought about it, he wanted to put away the dagger. He had a feeling that if he were to give it away, something would happen.

However, if the words were said to pour out water, since it was a gift, how could there be any reason to take it back?

"You .." If he didn't mention it, Mian Niang would have forgotten that he was once an accomplice that helped the evil.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The surroundings were completely silent, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle in the distance.

Mian Niang thought about everything that had happened in the past.

Everything originated from the change of marriage. Mei Family was not satisfied with the two siblings, her entire family, but his own weakness had provoked Gu Xin.

"You can't do things for others even without you. Even without you, there would be no change in the result. Besides, you have saved him time and time again, so this share of guilt should have been repaid long ago. As for this dagger, I really cannot accept it. Mr. Jiang, Song Yi will bid farewell to you then.

It was true that he couldn't be blamed for everything, and he had saved his own life. However, Mian Niang didn't know how to face this person.

As he was about to leave, he felt that what he had done was too heartless and unjust, so he turned around and said to the man who had been maintaining a posture the entire time: "Mr. Jiang, I, Song Mang, will remember your kindness in heart. If you have any orders in the future, as long as it's not something that's illegal, you can come and find me. Even though Song Yi is a woman, the promise she made is also worth it. "

The man still didn't move, only looking at her in confusion.

Mian Niang faintly sighed in her heart. In the end, they were still insignificant people.

She was just a lowly commoner. He was hired by his family, so no one had the ability to resist him.

It was not easy for him to rescue her again and again.

It only made Mayer's disease's family, Gu Xin and that Prince Rong especially hated them.

She was still resentful when someone caught up to her from behind.

The dagger was once again brought in front of Mian Niang.

"Take this. I'll take a trip to the northwest to see your elder brother."

"Really?" Mian Niang cried out in alarm. After realizing that she was on the street, she asked softly: "... You... And why is that? "

This time, Jiang Ting did not answer. He himself was still perplexed, how should he give Mian Niang an answer?

"Let's go back as soon as possible. It's getting dark, it's not safe."

His normal appearance would allow him to quickly disappear into the crowd. But what was strange was that no matter how far away he was, Mian Niang would still be able to recognize him in one glance, and watch him disappear at the next intersection.

She quickly felt for her backpack. She didn't dare to take out her dagger to look at the street, so she led the donkey away from the town.

Even though she wanted to know the result of the Mei Family, she knew that what Jiang Ting said was reasonable. Even if she stayed here, she would still need to worry about herself if she was involved in the excitement.

Tian'er was getting late, so she should return early. As for what would happen to the Mei Family, she could not rush it, and would probably need some time before the people of Mei Family came to find trouble with her.

Mian Niang walked in front, she did not know that there were people following her all the way to the village entrance.

After returning home, Madame Song Li heard the sound of the door opening. She hurriedly walked out of the house and asked for the results.

"Done."

Mian Niang comforted her mother with a smile.

"It really succeeded?"

Madame Song Li was still doubtful: "This is the first time I've ever done something so heartless. I always feel uncertain about it."

"Confusing heart, the things that that that person did were at least a hundred to a thousand times more excessive than this. Why don't we see how uneasy they are and what else can we do other than this, Mother? Are we really going to sit at home and wait for death, for someone to come knocking on our door and do whatever they want? "

Madame Song Li nodded her head, she felt that her daughter's words were reasonable, and then raised her head, only to see a cold look flash past Mian Niang's eyes.

She looked at her daughter in shock, as though she did not believe that Mian Niang was the one who said all these.

Mian Niang said as she tied the donkey. The saddlebags were taken down and put back into the house.

She put some hay in the hopper to add some water and dusted off her clothes. Then she turned around and picked up the pole she had left by the door and went to fetch the water.

Mian Niang's expression had already returned to normal, the sharpness from a moment ago seemed to have been an illusion.

Madame Song Li shook her head.

Mian Niang thought that she must have seen something wrong. She could only say that she had an idea, and that it was only because of the series of events that had transpired recently. In reality, it was still that dumb girl.

If this was a little bit more powerful, even if this was truly a little more formidable, he wouldn't have been forced into such a sorry state by that Gu Xin, the Mei Family.

Mrs. Song and Li carried a cane into the house. New cotton shoes were placed on the brick bed.

The shape of the cotton shoes was not good, because the cotton had been stored up for a long time, making them look extremely bulky and clumsy.

Originally, he wanted to make it for his youngest son, but while doing it, he made it into the size that Mian Niang was wearing.

Madame Song Li sighed as she thought back to the past. She didn't know if her heart was filled with pity or hatred for her daughter.

Mian Niang rushed to the well to fetch water, and clashed head on with filigree who was carrying a dogskin cushion.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

The things that happened today went by without a hitch. Even though he had met Jiang Ting halfway through and had gotten into a neither too bad nor too bad situation, Mian Niang's heart was still filled with joy. He had never felt this way before.

filigree clicked his tongue and said: "It's been so long, I thought we Mian Niang had already forgotten how to laugh."

Recently, she often dressed up as a man, so the villagers knew her difficulties. Other than feeling awkward at the beginning, it had been a long time since she had gotten used to it.

Mian Niang bashfully pursed her lips. Before she went out, these 28 year old female mother s were often teased like this. Originally, they were used to this, but now, they felt uncomfortable, even a little embarrassed.

The filigree understood her distress, and did not chase after her. She just said, "You should smile more at such a young age, don't always put on a straight face. You should at least reveal some of the bile that comes with this. "Smile nicely. Other people's hearts also become clearer just by looking at it. Aren't they willing to take care of your business?"

Mian Niang thought that it made sense and nodded to show that she was enlightened. She then revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart.

filigree was stunned.

This was a cute, soft, and innocent appearance. It was truly attractive and really made one want to touch it.

It was this face that was a little darker and thinner, but these eyes were beautiful, like the quiet light of the little river at the village entrance.

As she thought about this, she actually gently pinched Mian Niang's face.

Mian Niang was stunned, as was she.

"Look at you, how thin are you? If you take good care of Your Mother and hyposome, you have to take good care of yourself first. You are now a strong labourer in your family, if you fall sick, think about how Your Mother and little brother will live their lives. "

She patted Mian Niang's shoulder. The pity in her heart had turned into closeness, and this time, she truly treated this child as if she was her own junior. Even though it was covered by a layer of cotton clothing, one could still feel the stunned look on its skeleton.

"I understand, Aunt."

Mian Niang nodded as she felt warmth in her heart.

"What are you doing?"

She pointed to the dogskin mattress in filigree's embrace.

filigree looked at the thing he was holding in his arms, smacked his forehead, and laughed: "Look at my memory, I'm so busy talking to you that I forgot about proper business. This dogskin cushion was brought over from my brother's house, and I was going to give it to you in the first place.

"Auntie, I don't want to."

Mian Niang rejected her.

"What, do you dislike the patched old things that Aunt Zi gave you?"

"No, Aunt, how could I turn my back on you? It's just that you've used it on me, so take it home and use it for yourself."

"I'll use it myself. Why would I need it? It's winter, and I don't go out much. The brick bed is burning hot, so I don't need it."

"Then give it to my uncle."

"Your uncle, your uncle doesn't need it. This thing was originally meant for you, but you said that you are still young and that you have been running out in such a cold weather all day long. You should at least sit down and wait for your death."

As she spoke, she opened the dogskin mattress to reveal a pair of knee guards.

"Aunt's needlework is not as good as Your Mother's, it's too rough, you don't look like it, don't mind it, it's just old cotton, it's probably not as warm, luckily you're wearing cotton jacket and cotton pants, don't be afraid."
