I fought back after reselling my engagement

Chapter 29: Good Deeds Are Disasters

Rong Yin was startled and answered immediately: "Princess Changle, two years ago, Master Su left the capital and invited my grandfather to drink. When he came back, he said that he had arranged a marriage for my brother. My father and mother asked who it was, and he said it was Zhen Er. My mother asked the maidservant around her to find out and followed her for two months. She saw that she always gave money to beggars...

Not only did she give alms to those little beggars who kicked the carriage, she also gave buns and steamed bread to the beggars in the temple. What's even more strange is that she actually bought medicine for a woman who had a miscarriage due to a fall, and she also gave her money..."

Thinking that she was Rong Wei's fiancée, Lady Le Dahou sent people to follow her and found out a lot of things.

Rong Yin hung her head, seeing that everyone was gossiping, and didn't want to find out what she was spreading behind the scenes. "Zhen Er did a lot of good deeds. There was a poor family in the west of the city, so poor that they even pawned their daughter. Zhen Er took 20 taels of silver to save the daughter of that family, and also arranged for an official matchmaker behind the scenes. According to the court's laws, he married the daughter to a butcher.

After getting married, the butcher beat up his eldest uncle, took his uncle to learn the butcher's craft, and now he even has a wife.

But the two families still don't know that it was Zhen Er who did a good deed. Zhen Er asked someone to teach the butcher to discipline his elder uncle and guide him onto the right path.

My mother said that Zhen Er, who is so soft and kind, is not fit to be the mistress of the house. If she brings it up one day, she will ask the Su family to replace her. But the Su family may know that she inherited her soft nature and replace her with Miss Su San..."

There was actually a person around them who did good things without leaving his name, and judging from Rong Yin's words, he had done a lot.

Zhen Su raised her eyes: Only she, Damao, Ermao and Chunyan knew about this matter. Even the wet nurse didn't know it, but Rong Yin knew it.

Her heart was pounding: "How...how did you know?"

Rong Yin said proudly, "My mother said you were a softie, but my grandfather didn't believe it and said that a child raised by your grandfather, that old fox, couldn't possibly be a softie. They argued several times over this matter. I sent people to keep an eye on you for more than two years, and I know everything you did in those two years."

Everything...

Know everything!

She had been watched for more than two years. No matter what she did during the day or at night, even her bold move of pretending to be a heroine, was known to everyone?

Zhen Su felt very terrified, she had not known about it for more than two years. She only knew that someone was watching her for a while ago. She guessed that it was Le Dahou Mansion, who was always sneaking around in the dark. It must be the maid or the boy, who deliberately acted out those scenes with the little beggar.

She couldn't survive the life-and-death crisis!

She was going to die, still before she was twenty-three, and no one could help her.

A high monk's voice rang in my ears: "Young donor, you saved Lao Ne's life, and Lao Ne gave you some good advice: You will encounter a disaster before the age of 23. Do more good deeds to resolve it. If no one knows about your good deeds, you can survive. If people know about your good deeds, you can survive a narrow escape from death..."

If someone else had read her fortune, she would have been dismissive, but she knew that this old monk was a great monk who traveled in Yuntai Mountain. In his previous life, this great monk froze to death in the north city in winter; in this life, she took Chunyan to the small temple on a cold winter night, gave him winter clothes, fed him hot soup, and took him to see a doctor.

She saved the monk's life, and the monk read her fortune.

After being watched for two years, she is doomed.

Princess Changle asked, "What else?"

Rong Yin said, "Also, she recommended a very famous private school teacher to a poor kid in the countryside who had a photographic memory. She secretly gave him money to become a student and asked him to pay tuition fees on time every year. She then asked the private school teacher to lie and say that the kid was smart and eager to learn, and that he valued talent, so he would not accept tuition fees."

Princess Fanghua and several other noble ladies looked incredulous.

Miss Su Er thought: Was this really done by my cousin? Was she replaced by someone else? She did a good deed without leaving a name, and someone kept it a secret.

Rong Yin lowered his head. "My grandfather liked her very much and said she was a very lucky person. But my mother thought she was not only soft-hearted, but also stupid."

Princess Fanghua said dissatisfiedly: "Your mother is stupid. All good deeds are stupid. Who would do them?"

But it's really stupid to do good deeds without leaving your name.

Miss Fu San looked admiring, "Zhen Er, do you know that the Rong family is watching you?"

Zhen Su shook her head. She was wondering how long they had been watching them. They seemed to know a lot.

Rong Yin said proudly, "I also know that the reason why Dali Temple Master Wu was promoted from Shaoqing to Temple Minister was that Zhen Er contributed to the beggar case during the Lantern Festival two years ago. It was she who asked the little beggar to pass the anonymous message, and it was she who saved the young master who got lost in Prince Gong's mansion that night. But afterwards, she didn't say a word."

The ladies thought it was a fairy tale, but Rong Yin didn't seem to be lying.

Rong Yin said: "My brother said you are a softie, but you are very cute, different from all the young ladies from official families in the capital..."

Princess Yongle suddenly jumped up, "The one who saved my nephew was Zhen Er? Our family thanked the wrong benefactor. Lord Wu is so shameless. He didn't save the girl, but he actually took the credit for the little girl. How shameless!"

Zhen Su said: "The little beggars are really good. They can help save people. They didn't bully me. Really, I am very familiar with them. They only ask me for money when they really have no food to eat and can't make ends meet. They don't ask me for money normally..."

The ladies found it unbelievable that there was a kind-hearted soft-hearted person around them who would speak well of others when being bullied. It was really unbelievable. She must have done a lot of good things, but she never said anything and just did it.

Rong Yin continued, "Zhen Er has saved and helped many people. Princess Qingchun's daughter was kidnapped by her enemies in revenge. She was supposed to be killed during the three days she was missing. Zhen Er disguised himself as a servant and took the maid to steal the girl out of a broken courtyard. When they rescued her, they happened to meet the son of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion who was patrolling the streets. They left the girl on the road, and she was picked up by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion's Master Xu..."

The ladies sighed.

Is Zhen Er a coward or a brave man? He dared to rescue people from a den of thieves and didn't say a word after the deed was done.

Princess Yongle's eyes sparkled, "This is a true heroine! Please accept my greeting!"

"No, no, I got the news from the little beggars. I thought that Princess Qingchun only had this one daughter. If she died, she would be very sad... I wanted the little beggars to rescue her, but they said it was a gangster business, so I went. Don't tell anyone, otherwise they will chase us and make things difficult for us little beggars..."

Princess Yongle asked, "Are you afraid of getting the little beggar into trouble and want to protect them, so you don't tell the truth?"

"It doesn't matter who rescued them. What matters is that Princess Qingchun and her daughter are safe."

Princess Yongle felt that her mind was really pure, unlike someone from the mortal world. "Rong Yin, how do you know so much?"

"Because my grandfather and my brother had a rift over the marriage, I was so curious that I sent people to keep an eye on her. The longer I kept an eye on her, the more curious I became about what she did. I felt that she was the most peculiar person in the capital, different from the rest of us, like someone who came from a temple."
