There are not many people in the beggars' den now. There are only some male beggars with limited mobility. Most of them depend on women for survival. If you don't obey them, I'm afraid your fate will be even worse.

"Little Dog, did you get any money from begging outside today? You're back so early."

Xuan Fenghua looked down at the candied haws in her hand which had become a little dirty with dust on the ground. She was just thinking about how her father had suffered a lifetime, and when she heard that this thing was sweet, she also wanted to give it to him to taste.

"none of your business!"

Xuan Fenghua turned around and glared at the woman fiercely, but the humiliated woman rushed forward in anger, grabbed Xuan Fenghua's messy hair, and pulled her up from her father's side.

"Okay, you've got a bad temper, you little bitch. Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you today!"

The woman just wanted to slap him.

“Sister Lan, please! Ahem… ahem… don’t hurt my Fenghua… I… I’m not old yet, I can still be useful, you… ahem… ahem… ahem…”

The man struggled hard to sit up from the ground, but his health was not as good as before. What's more, he was just an abandoned man. He brought all this upon himself.

"Bah! Bitch! Look at how you taught your daughter! She should behave like a dog in front of me."

The woman stopped and pulled Xuan Fenghua's hair with force. Xuan Fenghua grimaced and his face twisted because of the pain. She took out a thin and sharp blade from her waist and raised her hand.

In just a moment, the woman who was pulling her hair from behind widened her eyes and grabbed her neck tightly with both hands, but still couldn't stop the blood from gushing out. She looked at Xuan Fenghua's back in disbelief, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, and just like that... fell straight to the ground, without breathing.

"Ah! Killed! Killed!"

There were not many beggars in the beggars' den. Apart from Xuan Fenghua and her father, there was also a woman named Sister Lan, but she was dead now. The remaining ones were a few men who were not a problem at all, and they probably sought shelter from the women.

The man stood up and ran out, and Xuan Fenghua was too lazy to stop him.

However, before he could shout for long, Nan Jinming struck him with a palm and knocked him unconscious.

"Fenghua..."

The man seemed to have expected this day to come. People who are driven crazy are often the most normal people. He has seen too many breakups and reunions, right and wrong, and the evilness of human hearts in his life. He just hopes that his daughter can be safe.

"Daddy, are you okay?"

Xuan Fenghua's face revealed a calmness that was inconsistent with her age. Others of her age were still acting coquettishly with their mothers and fathers, eating candied haws, flying kites, and being pampered by their elders.

"Fenghua, run quickly... cough cough... this woman's death has nothing to do with you, run quickly... Daddy begs you... leave here and don't worry about me..."

The man spoke hurriedly, his eyes fixed on the still warm body of the woman on the ground, and there was still a sense of pleasure in his eyes of revenge.

Finally... this woman finally died.

But the next problem is that his daughter, his clean woman, must not get into any harm.

"No, I won't leave. I want to stay by your side."

“Silly child, cough cough… cough cough cough… Daddy is about to… die, cough cough… This life… is not worth anything… If you kill this woman, later… cough cough cough… When there are too many people… it will be difficult to deal with.”

Xuan Fenghua understood what he meant, which was to take the blame for the murder for herself, but the teacher in the academy said that everyone should be responsible for their own actions. Since she had already done such a thing, she could not get away with it against her conscience.

"No, Mr. Shuyuan said that filial piety comes first. I cannot be an unfilial person. You have suffered so much humiliation just to keep me alive. I absolutely cannot let you fend for yourself here alone."

Xuan Fenghua could not afford to go to school, but she had a very good character and was very righteous. She knew several schoolboys in the academy and they often took her in to sit in on the lessons. She also knew a few words. In particular, there was a fortune teller living under an old locust tree at the entrance of the next door village in the south of the city. She would teach him some knowledge.

What we should read are living books, not dead books. If we cannot apply what we learn, what is the point of learning it?

Nan Jinming always felt that Xuan Fenghua learned some great principles of benevolence and righteousness. Her courage to love and hate, and her decisiveness in killing were truly worthy of a woman. That was how she should be.

But when she thought about how she had dared to love and hate like Xuan Fenghua in her previous life, but ended up like this, she felt sad again.

"Fenghua, I'm letting you go not only because of this matter, but you have something very important to do. You have to find the eldest son of the Chu family. You must find him and give him this purple jade pendant."

Nan Jinming: Purple jade pendant...

In her previous life, she seemed to know one thing. When she was 27 years old, she was anxious that Ye Kingdom was surrounded by enemies and had no reinforcements. The remaining former soldiers of the former dynasty were unwilling to help, and civil strife was likely to occur. Finally, someone sent a purple jade pendant to Nan Jinming and gave her a letter, asking her to take the purple jade pendant to meet the general of the former soldiers. They surrendered to the court the next day.

Each of these things seems so strange, and when you think about it, it seems that everything is related.

Xuan Fenghua tremblingly took the purple jade pendant handed to him by the man. It was rare that he could protect the jade pendant so well over the years.

"The eldest son of the Chu family..."

Xuan Fenghua repeated the sentence in a low voice. Chu Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat and he took a step forward. However, Nan Jinming did not move at all. He had to suppress his urge to move forward and listened patiently to the man's next words.

"Yes, at the beginning... ahem... I was the dowry attendant of the master of the Chu family. He was a very gentle person... but at that time, he was already pregnant and married to Madam Chu. In fact... the eldest son of the Chu family is not Madam Chu's... biological blood."

Nan Jinming's expression was unpredictable, and Chu Xiaoran almost couldn't control his emotions, and his hand holding Nan Jinming became slightly stiff.

He always felt that Chu Zixuan was an illegitimate child and had no right to compete with him for any property, and that he should get a part of it.

But now I hear... my grandpa said this...

Chu Xiaoran felt mixed emotions, his eyes were slightly sour, and his nose was red. He had never thought that he was not Chu Lianqin's biological son, but why would his father do such a shameless thing...

why!

"Does Mrs. Chu know?"

Xuan Fenghua was only afraid that if she went to find this young master, the children of wealthy families would probably look down on her, so she was unsure.

The jade pendant in the palm of the hand gives a warm feeling, giving people a sense of security.

"She...knows, but the two families were also in an alliance at the time, so there was no love between them, so there was no betrayal."

The man had been with his master for a long time and seemed to have learned a lot.

"I was wrong at the beginning. I shouldn't have coveted money and believed the lies of women. In the end, I got pregnant. Not long after the young master died, I also left the Chu family."

Chu Xiaoran pinched his palm hard with his other hand, and the pain from his palm made him sober up a little.
