Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!
Chapter 1390: Sowing Discord

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Sowing Discord

Lin Xi swallowed her saliva, an instinct of small creatures telling her that her fourth cousin right now was somewhat terrifying!

Yu Jiao was even more afraid, covering her ears with both hands, my sister is really angry, woo woo, she’s done for.

Lin Xi couldn’t leave her cousin Yu Jiao behind, took a deep breath, "It was me who messed up the table, it’s all my fault, if cousin wants to punish someone, just punish me."

Yu Yi stepped forward, the two little girls stepped back, Yu Yi, "!!"

Yu Jiao wasn’t lacking in loyalty either, since she was going to be punished anyway, "One should take responsibility for their own actions, it was I who messed up the table, if you want to hit someone, hit me!"

Lin Xi was stunned, "Fourth sister also hits people?"

Yu Jiao turned her head, "Didn’t I say? My sister has a very long ruler, my hands have already been hit by it several times."

She didn’t know how her sister talked to grandmother, and grandmother handed her over to her sister, she really met a miserable end, third sister and fifth sister won’t even save her!

Lin Xi extended her hand, she had never been hit before, closed her eyes tightly, reaching out her hand, "I’m not afraid of pain."

Yu Yi couldn’t hold it back anymore, these two little girls were too adorable, "Alright, just this once and no future exceptions, come over here to wash your hands and change your clothes."

Yu Jiao cheered, "Really not hitting me?"

Yu Yi, "Not hitting, but if you don’t come over here obediently to change your clothes and wash your hands, I might change my mind."

Yu Jiao pulled Lin Xi and ran, "We’ll go wash and change right now."

The Female Officer took another look at the fourth Miss Zhou, thinking to herself, no wonder the Empress thinks highly of her, who knows which family will be fortunate enough to marry the fourth Miss Zhou in the future.

In Ji Province, Chang Zhong looked at the freshly cleaned and newly clothed little beggar, "This is way too skinny."

So thin that only skin and bones were left on his body.

Shen Xing looked troubled at the awakened little beggar, "Young Master, what should we do with this child?"

Chang Zhong, "We can’t let him go back to being a beggar, the doctor just said that the little beggar needs proper care or he won’t survive the spring."

The doctor examined and found that there wasn’t a single good spot on the little beggar’s body, all of his internal organs needed care.

Chang Zhong asked, "Do you have family? Did you become a beggar on your own?"

The little beggar wrapped himself tightly in the clothes, "No family."

Shen Xing kept watching the little beggar, whose eyes were stubborn, "How old are you?"

The little beggar, "Seven years old."

Chang Zhong was surprised, "Doesn’t seem like it."

The little beggar remained silent, Chang Zhong looked troubled at Shen Xing, Shen Xing thought about it, "I’ll send him away later."

"I’ll leave by myself later."

Shen Xing looked astonished at the little beggar, narrowing his eyes, this child didn’t seem to be a real beggar.

Chang Zhong also sized up the little beggar, and he said: "Would you like to become my young servant?"

The little beggar pursed his lips, remaining silent, and after a moment he said, "Won’t sell myself."

Shen Xing’s scrutinizing gaze intensified, Chang Zhong’s curiosity grew stronger, "This is your chance to survive, by following me you will have a monthly wage and clothes, and you can take care of your body, you can’t keep yourself alive."

The little beggar kept his head low, without uttering a sound.

Shen Xing was keeping track of time, "We should be heading back, the master will be looking for the young master soon."

Chang Zhong looked at the little beggar, "Never mind then, I’ll be a good person through and through, you can come with us."

Upon returning to the inn, Rongchuan became aware of the situation and had someone thoroughly check into the little beggar. That evening, all they found out was that the little beggar had arrived in Ji Province a year ago, no one among the beggars recognized him, he almost didn’t survive last winter, and today he nearly lost his copper coin but was lucky to meet Chang Zhong.

Rongchuan wouldn’t continue staying in Ji Province. The residence of Prince Qin did have the means to support people; since he wasn’t selling himself, they could let a guard take care of him after his health was restored.

The following day, in the capital, Zhulan saw Lady Tao coming with a face full of joy, "What’s the happy occasion?"

Lady Tao, "That girl Wang Hua has finally gotten engaged, isn’t that cause for celebration?"

"Was it you who chose the family for her?"

Lady Tao shook her head, "It’s a family chosen by our old lady, this time the second wife didn’t dare to say a word."

"How did the old lady take over the matter?"

Lady Tao surprised, "You didn’t know?"

"What should I know?"

Lady Tao said, "The day before yesterday your daughter-in-law went to see Yu Lu, didn’t she tell you anything when she came back?"

"What are you talking about? Lady Li came back and said Yu Lu was quite alright, could it be that Yu Lu had some trouble?"

Zhulan realized, "Wang Hua was taken over by the old lady, could it be because of Yu Lu!"

Lady Tao had thought that Zhulan already knew since she had prepared for Zhulan to look for her; she waited all day yesterday and didn’t wait, so she couldn’t help coming herself today, "Actually, there’s nothing wrong with Yu Lu, she’s well."

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lady Tao was glad Yu Lu hadn’t told her maternal family, after all, it involved the reputation of the girl from the Wang family, she told Zhulan because of many years of friendship knowing Zhulan was the most strict, yet she did not trust other people in the Zhou family.

Yu Lu hadn’t told her own mother, also considering the reputation of the girl from the Wang family.

Lady Tao explained what had happened, "That’s what occurred."

Zhulan was speechless, "Thank goodness Yu Lu is alright."

Lady Tao also said: "My old lady was furious, Wang Hua was confined, and my brother’s wife also settled down."

These past days had been so comforting for her; the second household stopped complaining, and the third household didn’t dare to make a sound; her sleep had improved these few days.

Zhulan snorted, she took note of Lady Ding, who couldn’t educate her granddaughter.

Lin Xi stayed at the Zhou residence for two days, originally planning to return to the palace, but because princesses from various tribes were coming to the capital, Lin Xi could not return to the palace first; she had to pay more attention during her stay at the Zhou residence.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren muttered, "The Emperor will not simply pick someone."

"This makes it easier to sow discord."

Zhulan said, "What do you think the reaction of the Grassland Tribe would be if they knew Aerola’s pregnancy was fake?"
