Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 227
Nanny Qian didn't answer, but the other party didn't seem to have much patience. She took a step forward, helped the small stool that fell down, put the letter on the stool, and nodded slightly, "Farewell." He left with his oiled paper umbrella behind his back.

Nanny Qian stared at the letter as if she was staring at a monster hiding in the envelope. She stared for a long time before bending down to reach the letter. Her fingertips were trembling when she opened the envelope.

She opened it at a very slow speed, and then finished it at a very fast speed.

After reading it, she slowly squatted down.

She recognized the few thin pages of paper. One was a bank note issued by the largest bank in Yanjing City, 1000 taels. She read it over and over several times before she was sure that it was 1000 taels. Sky-high numbers.

The following few sheets of paper contained many names of people and many underground banks, and the following ones ranged from a few taels to as many as a few dozen taels, and there were nearly a hundred taels of debt... a few pages full of debts.

There are no more words left.

Qian Momo squatted for a long time, her legs and feet were numb from the squatting, she only felt that the clothes on the lower body were dangling on the ground and soaked in water, so she stood up slowly while supporting the low stool.She walked into the room without saying a word, poured the half bowl of rice that Qian Li hadn't finished into her own half bowl, it was full, most of the bowl was full of meat.

She ate in silence, taking big mouthfuls, her mouth was bulging, and before she could swallow it, she took another big mouthful of rice.

She ate hard, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

Although the action of grilling rice is ruthless, the action of chewing is heavy and slow.

She ate all the cold rice left by the two of them, washed the bowl with a blank face, tidied it up, washed her hands, wiped it with a handkerchief, folded all the papers, and slowly He muttered slowly, "Damn boy... I promised to wait for you to come back for dinner."

After finishing speaking, she carried the letter in her mouth and walked into the bedroom against the eaves. From the bottom of the closet, she found a bed sheet that was washed to the ground and had no original color. A few bank notes - that's all her savings in this life, reserved for that kid to marry a wife.

With lowered eyes and a blank expressionless face, she put the entire envelope on top, covering it layer by layer. After folding, she packed a few changes of clothes into a bag, and closed the clothes. He walked out of the bedroom with a bundle on his back, put on an oil-paper umbrella, and walked slowly all the way to the gate.

When locking the door, she saw the aunt next door and a few neighbors cracking melon seeds under the eaves, and the word "vigorous" was faintly mentioned in the gossip. Mammy Qian turned her back and locked the lock in silence.

The talking stopped.

Someone greeted, "Old Qian's family, you are... Didn't Dali come back, won't you be with me?"

The fingertips landed on the lock, and the cold sensation spread along the fingertips all the way to the limbs and bones. Qian Momo did not turn around, but just lowered her head and responded calmly, "Yes. He left again."

"Leaving again? It's only been half a day since I came back! It took a lot of time to go back and forth on the road. Damn Dali, it's not that I have a bad heart. I think it's not right. It's not about studying How many years have you been asking for this, and you have to ask for everything you have learned!"

"Yes..." Qian Momo replied, but still didn't turn around. She rubbed the lock and said in a low voice, "If you come back this year or the end of this year, you won't be allowed to leave... You guys talk slowly, I'll go first It's gone." As he said, he stepped into the heavy rain with his head down and an umbrella, and walked away as if fleeing.

Behind her, there was a faint whisper, the voice was not low, and she was confident, "What did I say! I saw a man coming to her just now, and the man was not easy to see, maybe he offended someone outside. Woolen cloth!"

"Hey, this widow of the Qian family has a hard life."

……

The sound came with the wind and scattered into the rain.

In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, gradually no sound can be heard, only the sound of rainwater hitting the oil-paper umbrella can be heard.

It's like my own world, only this side of the shelter under the oil-paper umbrella is left.

In a corner where no one could see, Qian Momo slowly squatted down, her expression was ashamed and numb from the beginning to the end, as if the soul of the whole person had died, leaving only a body so-so.

What about going to school is probably fake, and avoiding debts is the real thing.It's hard for me to serve in the Eastern Palace all these years, and I haven't encountered these debtors, but I have been kept in the dark until now...

1000 two.

1000 taels, it is not worth the price if you sell the money.

After a rough calculation, I can barely pay off those bills, and there are about a hundred taels left.

She is no longer an innocent and ignorant little girl. She has spent most of her life in the Eastern Palace, experienced and seen too many things, and she has long since ceased to believe in such good things as falling from the sky and meeting nobles for no reason.

But that kid is still young, he believes.

It's not that she doesn't want to drag that kid back and scold him.

But... can she?

she can't.That kid has been hiding for so many years, and he doesn't know how to live outside. He must be extremely bored, but anyone who has a little bit of hope is willing to try it, even if it loses his dignity or even his humanity, it doesn't matter.

Is it because she is incompetent as a mother and can't afford the 1000 taels. Even if she finds him back, what awaits him is still a life of hiding. In such a life, will there be dignity?

Besides, she couldn't find it either.I don't know what kind of deal was made. The best result is to sell yourself to others and do something that won't lose your life, but may lose your personality and humanity.The worst... the worst outcome, Qian Momo dare not think...

She just squatted in the corner, covered her head with an oil-paper umbrella, and slowly buried her face in her hands, "Obviously... Mingming promised me to wait for him to come back for dinner."

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly got up and walked towards the eastern suburbs.

The roads outside the city are not always as well repaired as those inside the city.It's okay on weekdays, but when it comes to such a heavy rain season, this disadvantage will show up.When Qian Momo returned to Ji's house with a deep kick and a shallow kick, the uppers of her shoes were already covered with muddy water.

She changed her clothes and shoes in her own room, combed her hair again, and washed her face before going to Ji Wuyan's yard with the oil-paper umbrella.

The young girl was lazily leaning on the soft bed in the corridor, stroking the cat's hands one after another, such a graceful and dignified appearance, for a moment, Qian Momo saw The illusion of the princess.

When he wanted to take a closer look, the other party had already opened his eyes, and he seemed a little surprised, calling out, "Nurse Qian?"

Qian Momo greeted her from a distance, "Miss, the old slave is back."

Ji Wuyan was really a little surprised, "What's wrong? Didn't you ask for two days off... I even asked someone to tell you how many more days of vacation you are allowed... Didn't you see it?"
