Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 418: Adopting a Child Fails

【Then everything went black and I fainted.】

[After five days of drinking only some water and not eating anything, Brother Niu fainted from hunger.]

[When he woke up from the pharmacy, the first person he saw was the adulterer. Brother Niu was so angry that he almost jumped up. He didn't jump up because he was still weak all over. The most important thing was that the money for the pharmacy was paid by the adulterer. Brother Niu's family was short of money and had no money to pay for the consultation.]

[After a long silence, Brother Niu decided to repay the favor of saving his life by giving himself to his wife, but the one he promised was his wife.]

【The three of them simply lived together. 】

After seeing the situation of the family of three in front, Xu Jinyu fell silent.

Mr. Liu: I thought it was some kind of love-hate relationship, but you told me it was just a pure money relationship.

Another official: This is so great. The wife is saved and there is another way to make money. The wife doesn't have the energy to find another man. The three of us can live a good life together.

No! The woman was pregnant, and the four of them should be living a happy life together. I just don't know whether the child is Daniu's or the adulterer's.

[Then you caught the adulterer and lived with him after you succeeded. ]

[Is there any necessary connection between them? You might as well not catch the adulterer in the first place. At least then the adulterer would be sneaky, not as open as he is now.]

"Lord Xu is still young~~~" Lord Liu sighed.

"Sometimes compared to being cuckolded, money is more important!"

The two middle-aged officials looked at each other and sighed deeply.

Alas~~When people reach middle age, there are too many things they have to do.

After reading about what happened to this family of three, Xu Jinyu walked forward in a daze. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on her.

I had just taken two steps when I heard a voice coming from the front.

"Help~~Help~~"

A figure was staggering on the street, followed by a number of servants. It looked like he was a wealthy family's servants.

When pedestrians saw this, they all avoided it. They wanted to avoid getting involved in the affairs of these wealthy families if possible, so as not to be implicated.

When Xu Jinyu heard the voice shouting for help, he quickly moved away.

She had experienced such a thing once before, and because she was too enthusiastic, she was kidnapped. She would not repeat the same mistake. If someone really needed help, she had the guards of the princess's mansion behind her, and she would provide assistance depending on the situation.

Xu Jinyu dodged, but the figure who was shouting for help suddenly brightened up when he saw Xu Jinyu and ran towards him.

"Little Boss! Help!"

Xu Jinyu was so scared that she screamed in her heart,

[Help!!! You are not coming for me again! I really can’t be a hero and save the damsel in distress!]

"Swish!"

A figure appeared in front of Xu Jinyu, holding a sharp blade and shouting, "Don't be rude!"

The figure was so frightened when he saw the sharp blade that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

The figures that were chasing them also caught up, dragged the woman off the ground, and walked back. A man who looked like a butler walked up to the guards and apologized: "I'm sorry that my servant offended the young master. I hope you can atone for your sins."

Upon hearing this, the woman shouted, "Prince An! Your Highness Prince An! Help! I am not a slave, I am Zuo Shi Li Shu, the cousin of Zuo Yuanying, please help me, young master!!!"

[Yes, I know her. She is Zuo Yuanying's cousin. She is a lady from an official family. How come she has become a servant?]

Xu Jinyu lowered her head.

Then he stood behind the two guards, with only his head showing, and said to the man who looked like a butler, "You call your second young lady a servant?"

The flattering smile on the butler's face froze, and he cursed in his heart how unlucky he had to meet His Royal Highness Prince An.

The master of the family has long since instructed that the person you should not mess with most in the capital is His Royal Highness Prince An. Even more so than the Crown Prince.

If you offend the crown prince, only the emperor will be angry, but if you offend His Royal Highness Prince An, all the officials in the court will cause trouble for you.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper's smile became even more flattering, "Replying to the young master, I'm not saying this for fun, it's really the Second Young Madam..."

The housekeeper raised a hand and pointed at his head: "Something is wrong here. I can only say this for the sake of the family's reputation. Otherwise, how will the young lady live in the future?"

The housekeeper and Xu Jinyu were explaining, but the servants blocked Zuo Lishu's mouth without any delay, stuffed him into the carriage, and drove away.

There is no intention of stopping.

Xu Jinyu had a smile on her face, but she was a little angry in her heart.

[You are treating me like a fool. Although I am not very smart, you don't have to treat me like this! ]

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the imperial guards when they heard this. With a wave of their hands, someone stopped the carriage that was about to leave and helped the tied-up Zuo Lishu out from it.

He quickly untied the ropes on Zuo Lishu's body and took out the cloth stuffed in her mouth.

The cloth was stuffed very professionally, directly under the root of Zuo Lishu's tongue, tightly, leaving no gap in Zuo Lishu's mouth, and there was no possibility of pushing the cloth out with his tongue.

I guarantee that Zuo Lishu won’t be able to make a sound.

The guards couldn't help but sigh at their professionalism. This family treated their second young lady like a prisoner, so strictly.

With a sigh in his heart, the guard turned around and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to inform Lord Zuo?"

"Notify them immediately!"

Xu Jinyu dragged two chairs over from the side, sat on one herself, and patted the other chair for Zuo Lishu to sit on, looking like a caring older sister.

"Tell me what happened to you and make me happy."

Zuo Lishu: “…”

"Ahem... Are you unhappy about something? Let me hear it."

"Young master, these are just some trivial family matters. I dare not trouble you." The housekeeper next to him was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly stopped Xu Jinyu from asking any more questions.

Xu Jinyu looked back at the guards. The guards picked up the rope and towel on the ground and treated the butler the same way as Zuo Lishu had just treated him.

The butler struggled and gestured, and a clever servant ran away.

Zuo Lishu finally had time to wipe the sweat off his face, not his tears. He was busy escaping and had no time to shed tears.

"Young Master, I am completely confused about what happened to me. My husband's eldest brother passed away, and he wanted to register his two children under my name. I happened to be pregnant, so I refused. As a result, as you can see, my husband tried to force-feed me abortion pills."
