Chapter 260: Take Care

Yun Er looked at his master in shock and admiration, wanting to give him a thumbs up.

Rong Yan said calmly, “Help him onto the mat and feed him from time to time. It’s a sleeping medicine specially made by Doctor Gongsun. It won’t hurt his body.”

Yun Er asked, “Then how long is Master going to let him sleep?”

Rong Yan thought for a moment. “Two days. He’s still injured. It’s not good for him to starve for too long.”

Hence, two days later, Han Qing, who woke up, couldn’t wait to lose his temper. He took the food and started wolfing it down. Halfway through, he collapsed again.

Without Rong Yan’s reminder, Yun Er skillfully carried him into the carriage and placed him on the soft cushion. He undressed him, changed his dressing, and bandaged him before continuing on their way.

The hardships along the way were impossible to describe, and only half of the followers were left. On the fifth day, when Han Qing woke up, Rong Yan gritted his teeth and abandoned the carriage. He got the remaining guards to drive in another direction to attract the attention of the pursuers. Then, he only brought Yun Er, the other two, and Han Qing along with him. Finally, Han Qing, who had been thinking about riding a horse, was satisfied.

He was indeed a man. He did not make a sound even when the bandage was dyed red with blood. He forcefully swallowed the ginseng pill and did not faint once. Occasionally, he would even have the time to tease when he was resting. “The effect of this ginseng pill is not bad. Gongsun Zhongjing is quite capable.”

Rong Yan did not say anything. Yun Er had already mastered “Ning Xiaoxiao’s bragging”. “Of course. This is made with our Miss Ning’s loo-year-old ginseng and lingzhi. There’s no market for it. One of them is enough for an ordinary family to spend for decades.”

Han Qing immediately felt that the medicine was hot, but Rong Yan said, “But if you live, you can avenge hundreds and thousands of people and save countless commoners.”

Han Qing nodded heavily and was the first to get on her horse. “When I come back from the Imperial Capital alive, I’ll definitely thank Miss Ning personally. Let’s go and save the common people first.”

Because the Ning Family’s rice fields were requisitioned by the government, even heavy work like harvesting rice would be helped by someone sent by the government office. The seeds for next year were still left for the Ning Family. The other rice seeds were set by County Magistrate Shen at a price 10 times that of ordinary rice seeds. It was said that the Imperial Court might reward them in the future.

The villagers did not know what exactly happened. They only heard that the Ning Family’s rice seeds were given by the county office. It was said that they were new rice seeds cultivated by a Mr. Yuan. The yield of these rice seeds was many times higher than ordinary rice seeds. County Magistrate Shen was about to plant them widely. When there were more rice seeds, they would be distributed to every farmer so that they could eat white rice from now on!

They were so excited just thinking about it! County Magistrate Shen was really an official who was devoted to the people. The Ning Family was really lucky!

Of course, there were also people who did not think so. For example, Little Aunt Ning, who had been poor recently.

Other than her, everyone else in the family was in jail. They were sold off, their houses were gone, and their land was gone. She was alone and could only live in the dilapidated house that Second Aunt Ning had once hidden in.

She used to have a great ambition, but now, she was even inferior to those foreigners who had fled to the disaster. She did not know how to farm, nor did she know how to sew. Her culinary skills were even a mess. To put it simply, she did not have any means to support herself.

She originally wanted to marry herself off. Only then did she realize that she had already offended all the men of the marriage trial age when she really went to see the matchmaker. Other than those who were already married, those who were still single, swore that they would never be blind enough to fancy her, Ning Xiao’er, even if they could not get a wife in their lives.

She had looked down on them back then. They returned the favor. Now that she was homeless without any relatives, she really could not retort.

Other than crying, she really did not know what to do.

Little Aunt Ning heard all the praises for the Ning Family under such circumstances. How could she tolerate this?

Ning Xiaoxiao was nothing. Those praises, those honors, and those silvers should belong to her, Ning Xiao’er!

She secretly went to the vicinity of the Zhao Family’s nephew’s courtyard to see if she could meet him by chance. Unexpectedly, just as she arrived, she saw Ning Xiaoxiao coming out of the Zhao Family’s courtyard with a rabbit in her arms.

“Why did you enter someone else’s house and take their things?”

Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes for a long time before she recognized who it was. She raised the key in her hand and raised her eyebrows at her. “Did you see that? Little Big Brother Ah Yan personally handed it to me and asked me to help him take care of the house.”

Little Aunt Ning’s jealousy was like a raging fire. Without thinking, she planned to beat this little girl up like before.

Xiaoxiao carried the rabbit tight and dodged to the side. She looked around at the same time and confirmed that there was no one around. She held the rabbit in one hand and Little Aunt Ning in the other, pulling the two of them back to the Zhao Family’s small courtyard.

It was time for every family to prepare dinner. No one would wander around for no reason. Xiaoxiao closed the door and slowly squeezed out a malicious smile at Little Aunt Ning before rolling up her sleeves.

Little Aunt Ning panicked. “What do you want?”

Xiaoxiao grinned. “I’m beating you up.”

Little Aunt Ning couldn’t believe her ears. “What did you say?”

Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and pursed her lips when she heard that. “You’re young, but why are your ears not good? I said I’ll beat you up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she punched Little Aunt Ning in the stomach. Xiaoxiao was an adult after all. She knew her limits and wouldn’t really hit her until there was a problem, but it would definitely hurt. Hence, she decisively covered Little Aunt Ning’s mouth after she attacked.

After the punch, Xiaoxiao pinched Little Aunt Ning’s mouth with one hand to prevent her from making a sound. With the other hand, she picked up the stick at the door and hit her butt.

[Space control. Keep her quiet for seven seconds.]

Little Aunt Ning realized that Ning Xiaoxiao had let go of her hand, but she was about to shout when she realized that she couldn’t make a sound. She attributed this phenomenon to excessive shock, but her butt hurt! Her stomach hurt too! How could Ning Xiaoxiao dare!

When Xiaoxiao stopped after hitting her enough, Little Aunt Ning saw Xiaoxiao raising the stick again. She could only lower her voice and sob. At the same time, she threatened without any deterrence, “I’m going to tell the entire village that you’re a shrew who hits people!”

Xiaoxiao placed the stick on her shoulder. “Go and see if others will believe your words or accuse you of spouting nonsense to extort money.”

Little Aunt Ning’s face was filled with fear. “Y-you did it on purpose. You pretended to be a good person in the past!”

Xiaoxiao shrugged and did not comment.

Little Aunt Ning returned in defeat and cried uncontrollably. At this moment, she strongly felt the feeling of being alone. She felt that she was the most pitiful and miserable person in the world, but she did not know that this was already the result of Rong Yan showing mercy.

As expected, Little Aunt Ning went to the villagers to complain, but the places where she was beaten up could not be seen casually. She had no evidence and the people only said, “Why do you have to make things difficult for Xiaoxiao? She’s so good. Your family has let her down so many times, but they’ve always repaid kindness with kindness. On the other hand, your old residence, tsk.”

Someone else said, “I advise you to take care of yourself. In the future, find an honest person to marry and stay at home to take care of your husband and children. Don’t always be jealous of the Ning Family.”

What was even worse was that one said, “Didn’t you see that your parents and brother are in jail because of bad intentions? Are you trying to follow in their footsteps?”
