Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 536 No way to go

"Thank you two for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner some other day. Just order whatever you want." Kong Mingxue finished the cake in just a few bites.

"Okay, the Zuiyuexuan we ate last time tasted pretty good. My elder sister and I liked it very much. Don't worry, brother Mingxue, we will definitely eat you bankrupt. You'd better fill your wallet, otherwise you won't have money to pay the bill." Jiang Fubao smiled mischievously.

She took Jiang Wangyou's arm.

The two sisters seem very close.

"I couldn't ask for more." Kong Mingxue was no longer afraid.

He may not have enough knowledge, but he has enough money.

The inheritance his parents left for him could not be spent in several lifetimes. It was just a meal. Even if he ate gold, it would not make him poor.

The meal ended happily like this.

It's getting late.

The Kong family sent the two sisters home in a carriage. Kong Mingxue was worried and escorted them personally.

When they arrived at the Jiang family's gate, he watched them go in eagerly. Only after the gate was closed did Kong Mingxue walk to the alley and get on the carriage to go home.

While walking through the garden, Jiang Fubao did not mention Kong Mingxue to Jiang Wangyou again. She did not want to urge her elder sister to get married, nor did she want to interfere. She just wanted her elder sister to find a good home. If there was no affection between the two of them, it could only be said that they were not destined to be together.

"Sister, go back to sleep. See you tomorrow morning." Jiang Fubao waved to Jiang Wangyou and continued walking forward.

"Miss, you're back." Xue Huan had been lying on the railing on the second floor in a daze.

Jiang Fubao's face hadn't even appeared from the corridor yet, but Xue Huan recognized her by just looking at her lower body.

she shouted excitedly.

"Well, I'm back. Please help me get some water. I'm a little sleepy." Jiang Fubao responded, looking up.

"Okay, miss. I'll go right away." Xue Huan ran down the stairs.

She was like a hard-working little bee. She didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she was very happy to be ordered around by the young lady.

Late at night, the dew is heavy and the temperature drops sharply.

The spring rain fell in the middle of the night, like flower needles, pricking Sun Xiaotao who was lying on the ground and waking her up.

"Ah——" Her chest still hurt, and she groaned.

After being unconscious for so long, the blood stains at the corners of her mouth had already dried and hardened.

Even if it is rained, it cannot be washed away.

Holding on to the thick tree trunk, Sun Xiaotao slowly climbed up, looking around with blank eyes.

I don't know where I am.

"Where is this?" she said to herself.

It was pitch black everywhere, with only the half-moon above our heads emitting some light, otherwise it was pitch dark.

"Ouch——"

"Awoo--" Just as she was wondering, several horrifying wolf howls were heard from the mountains, seemingly not far away.

Sun Xiaotao was so scared that she ran away.

After running to the main road for a long time, she realized that she was not wearing shoes. No wonder the soles of her feet hurt so much.

The stinging pain in her chest and feet woke her up completely. She looked left and right and finally recognized where she was.

This is the official road outside the city of Chang'an Town.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so she could only hide under a tree to avoid the rain.

It was dawn when we took shelter.

At dawn, she set out on the road back to the city.

The rain has stopped.

While waiting at night, she made herself a pair of simple shoes using twigs and vines.

After all, she is a farmer's daughter, so she does have some ability.

However, at noon, he was stopped outside the city gate by officials.

"Where is the pass?" the officer asked sternly.

"No, no, my home is in the city. I am the aunt of the rich man Gao. If you don't believe me, go ask."

Almost everyone in Chang'an Town knows Gao Caijin.

He was a well-known wealthy man, very rich, and his family's Fulin Restaurant made a fortune every day.

Previously, Sun Xiaotao was able to come to Chang'an Town without a pass because Gao Caijin bribed the officials.

"Hey, aunt? It seems that Mr. Gao's family has only two aunts. Is your surname Wang or Li?" The official looked at her with amusement.

"My last name is Wang." Sun Xiaotao just wanted to go into the city, so she made up a story.

"You're talking nonsense! Mr. Gao had only one concubine, her surname was Zhang, and she died of illness last year!" The official was caught red-handed as soon as he lied.

Sun Xiaotao turned pale with fright.

She really didn't know.

After serving Gao Caijin for so long, she didn't even know who was in Gao Caijin's family. After all, Gao Caijin never told her.

"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? Get out of here right now. Don't even think about entering the city without a pass." The officer was already very patient. If it were anyone else, he would probably not even bother to pay attention to her and would just draw the sword at his waist to scare her away. What a waste of time.

Sun Xiaotao had nowhere to go. After hearing the officer's words, she began to check her body. The original clothes had turned into worthless rags of linen, and the gold bracelet on her wrist was gone.

She put her hands on her ears, but she didn't feel the jade earrings, only two cold earlobes.

Her hair was scattered and wet, like a female ghost.

"Sir, please let me in. I'm telling you the truth. I'm the mistress of Mr. Gao. If you don't believe me, you can take me in and I'll let him explain it to you in person."

Sun Xiaotao, who didn't know the truth, thought that Gao Caijin was just angry and had Xiaolan send her out of the city in a fit of rage.

She thought that as long as she went back to explain and admit her mistake, Gao Caijin would forgive her after he calmed down.

So she knelt on the ground and begged the officer.

She wanted the officers to let her in.

"Don't force me to do it." The officer was too lazy to talk to her and just drew his sword to scare her.

The cold sword frightened Sun Xiaotao so much that she couldn't kneel down and sat on the ground. She rubbed the ground with her big butt and quickly backed away.

She was afraid that the officer would get angry and kill her with a knife.

There was no way out. Unable to enter the city and penniless, Sun Xiaotao could only wander outside the city.

Although Chang'an Town is not far from Lianshan Town, it requires taking an ox cart or a horse carriage. If you walk, it will take at least two days and two nights without stopping.

Unable to return to her parents' home, nor able to enter the city, she sat in the corner, waiting like a beggar for a whole day, until late at night and the city gates closed, but Gao Caijin still did not come to look for her.

She hasn't eaten a single bite of food since yesterday.

My stomach aches from hunger.

"Here, do you want to eat it?" Just then, an old beggar with a mouth full of yellow teeth walked up to Sun Xiaotao.

He handed Sun Xiaotao a coarse flour bun and smiled obscenely.

Although Sun Xiaotao was hungry, she had been used to a good life and could not eat such food at all. She just shook her head and did not take it.

"Take it and keep me company after you finish eating." The old beggar continued to weigh the steamed bun in his hand.

His eyes were full of lust. Sun Xiaotao even gave birth to a child, so how could he not understand?

She shrank her neck in fear, and seeing the old beggar getting closer and closer, she simply stood up and ran to the officer guarding the city gate.

The city gates were closed, but there was a small house inside and outside the city, with two officers standing inside to keep watch.

Sun Xiaotao said nothing and just stayed there, so the officers didn't chase her away.
