Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Ever since she got food from Mr. Jing'an that night, Ayan has been very fond of this serious lady. She is not like Lin Xiaoniang who always smiles in a way that makes people creepy, nor is she as ferocious as Molan. Although she has no expression, she will give Ayan food every time she sees her.

The first few times Ayan came at night when there were few people around. After all, Mr. Jing'an didn't let her tell others, saying that it was for her own good.

As long as there was food, Ayan was very obedient. She kept the secret between her and Jing'an honestly, and never told anyone who asked. When Lin Qinshuang asked her whether she had stolen the tribute that night, she just said that the window was too high and she couldn't climb up, and she was willing to be beaten and scolded by Molan for this.

But recently, Yan felt that she was getting hungrier and hungrier. She didn't know that it was because she had grown taller and needed to eat more. She ate the same amount of food as usual but she was never full. It was just past lunch and she was already dizzy with hunger.

As she approached the trail house, Yan saw a fat figure.

"Madam Zhao?" Ah Yan recognized this person, but she didn't want to go forward. It would be bad if Madam Zhao knew about her and Mr. Jing'an.

Ah Yan hid behind a tree. She was small and tanned, blending in with the tree trunk. I stole a glance and saw Madam Zhao carrying a basket and looking around the small house furtively.

When Ayan saw the basket, she picked up the food and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. An idea came to her innocent mind: Madam Zhao came to bring food to the lay Buddhist.

Maybe the lay Buddhist will share the food with her later.

Thinking of this, Ayan was a little excited.

She stared at the basket in Lady Zhao's hand with her eyes fixed, fearing that the food would fly away if she was not careful.

Zhao Niangzi's back was soaked with sweat, and she walked around the small house three or four times under the scorching sun. Maybe she was too nervous, or maybe she was dizzy from the heat, Zhao Niangzi didn't notice little A Yan behind the tree.

She spotted no one.

After making sure that no one was following her, Madam Zhao quietly approached the window of the hut.

The weather was hot and humid, and Mr. Jing'an did not close the window. He was probably taking a lunch break at that time and did not notice any movement at the window.

Ayan saw Madam Zhao look in the window a few times, then squatted down and lifted the lid of the basket.

When it was lifted, Ayan saw several greasy things sticking out from inside and she fell to the ground in fright.

There was a noise under the tree, and Madam Zhao was startled. She threw the basket directly into the window and ran away without caring whether anyone saw her or not.

Ayan sat on the ground and trembled.

She had never seen that thing before, didn't know it was called a snake, and didn't know some snakes were poisonous. But the cold eyes and the buzzing tongue naturally frightened her, and gradually turned it into a horror story in her mind - Madam Zhao threw a basket of monsters into the monk's house, and the monk was eaten by the monsters!

If Ms. Jing'an was eaten, no one would give her food in the future.

Thinking of this, Ayan suddenly felt a surge of anger and courage. She suddenly got up from the grass, screaming and crying, and rushed towards the Taoist room of Jing'an.

Xiao Tao, who was dozing against the wall in the distance, was awakened by the cry. She looked over here and saw A Yan knocking on the door violently, and then she heard Jing An Jushi's low cry from inside the room.

"Oh no!" Xiao Tao suddenly felt numb from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

If something happened to Mr. Jing'an while she was tailing him, she would have to give up her life as a human being from then on.

Xiao Tao ran to the door and pushed it open. The two of them rushed into the room at the same time and saw Mr. Jing'an covering a lump of something on the ground with a quilt.

"What is this?" Xiao Tao asked anxiously.

"Snake!" Mr. Jing'an was also a little out of breath.

Xiao Tao took two steps back in fear, and held out her hand to Master Jing'an despite the numbness: "Quick...quickly go, Master, don't worry about them!"

"If I let them go, they will run around and it will be hard to catch them. It will be a sin if they hurt someone."

"Then what should I do? I, I, I will go call someone!"

"No, don't make any noise! ​​Quietly get me a hemp rope and a sack. Just tie the quilt tightly and throw it into the sack, and everything will be fine." Mr. Jing'an's hands were shaking, but he spoke slowly.

"Okay, okay! I'll go right away!" Xiao Tao lowered her head and said to A Yan, "You stay here to watch over the lay Buddhist. If anything happens, go to the ancestral hall to call for help."

Ayan nodded subconsciously, but she was completely unable to move her feet or speak.

She saw the thing that Jing'an was holding in her hand moving, and she was so scared that tears came out. She wanted to go forward to help, but her legs and feet were completely out of control.

Seeing her pale face, Jing'an said under a suppressed breath, "It's okay. Taiyi Tianzun is here. He will protect us."

Ah Yan followed the gaze of Lay Buddhist Jing'an and saw the solemn and majestic statue of Tianzun on the wall. She felt more at ease and asked in a trembling voice, "Will Taiyi Tianzun suppress these monsters?"

Lay Buddhist Jing'an nodded: "Of course. The Heavenly Lord is here, so please punish the evildoers and retreat."

Hearing this, Tianzun in Ayan's mind came alive. He held a magic weapon in his hand and cast a spell on the monsters in the quilt, and the monsters were subdued one by one.

A Yan's face finally showed some color. She sat cross-legged, facing Mr. Jing'an, imitating the posture of the deity in the portrait, and said to him seriously, "A Yan will help too."

She felt that as long as she also made the posture of Tianzun, she would also have magical powers and could help suppress the monsters.

Soon, Xiaotao returned to the hut with the hemp rope and sack.

At this time, Jing'an had slowly tied the whole group of snakes into a ball. Xiaotao stepped forward with fear and used the hemp rope to tie the quilt. She didn't stop until the hemp rope was almost not enough. Jing'an kept holding the quilt and asked Xiaotao to open the sack. Then the two of them worked together to stuff the quilt into the sack and tied the mouth of the sack into a knot.

After completing all this, both of them collapsed to the ground, with Ayan still "casting spells" beside them.

When Xiaotao and Jushi saw Ayan like this, they looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

……

"What?!" Minglan was so angry at Xiaotao for the first time. "Why are you reporting such a big thing only now?!"

"Yes... It was Ms. Jing'an who asked me not to make it public. She said that the master and his wife were having a wedding in the front hall. If there was chaos in the back house, we would all be in trouble."

"Then you should have asked someone to call me right away!"

"I was busy catching snakes with the Buddhist monk at the time. I-I-I really couldn't get away, girl!"

Danju mediated from the side: "Girl, Xiaotao must be worried that if someone else comes, the matter will be exposed, and she won't be able to find her own people to help for a while."

Xiao Tao nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes! It's what Danju said. I was afraid that if others knew about it, it would cause the monk to be punished."

"Have you checked your body? Are you sure there are no injuries?" Minglan continued to ask Xiaotao.

"Yes! I am absolutely sure! I threatened the monk that if he didn't check me, I would let everyone know, and he agreed."

Hearing this, Minglan calmed down a little. She slammed the table and said, "Linqi Pavilion's bastards, they won't give up even though my mother has already become a nun. They actually came up with such a sinister trick to harm her. Once the matter gets out, my mother will either be bitten by a snake or punished by my father, and my second brother's betrothal gift will also be affected. They really have a good plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Xiao Tao: "Miss, the monk asked me to take the snake out of the house and throw it away, but I didn't do it. Now I still have it in my hand. I thought it would be a piece of evidence. Miss, what do you think we should do with it?"

"It's time to deal with him properly." Minglan stared out the window coldly.

In this life, she wanted to stay quietly in the Sheng family until she got married. As long as her mother and brother were alive, as long as her grandmother could live her life steadily, it didn't matter if she, Sheng Minglan, was a little cowardly and endured more, just as a price to exchange for the safety of her relatives.

In this world, most of the things that can make a name for oneself are done by men, and women may be laughed at for taking even the slightest step forward. If the head of the family is powerful and supports her, then perhaps the joke is just a joke, and everyone will forget about it after the incident; but if there is no one to support her, or the person who supports her is also in a difficult situation, then being laughed at is only the first step, followed by ubiquitous difficulties, and anyone can bully you by saying "you deserve it", and your marriage will also be affected. No good family will be willing to marry a woman with a bad reputation as a daughter-in-law. Even if she gets married, she will most likely continue the nightmare in her husband's family.

A commandment called "respect and inferiority" is pressing down on one's head. Everyone has to bow their heads and make concessions in everything. A woman cannot leave the backyard and cannot avoid people's gossip, so all that is left ahead is the dark night.

The goodness of human nature comes from "empathy". People hope that good things can happen to themselves, so they are always more tolerant and kind to the things they yearn for. The evil of human nature also comes from "empathy". Because they have been stepped on by people who are taller than them, when they meet people who are lower than them, they will step on them a few more times to make up for the scar in their hearts that they don't want to face.

Minglan originally planned not to deal with Lin's mother and daughter so quickly. After all, whatever she did might cause trouble for herself and her grandmother, and might also implicate Jing'an Jushi and Changdong. This is probably what the Buddhist saying "If you have worries in your heart, you will not be at ease." She wanted to wait for Gu Tingye to consolidate his power and for them to get married. Then she would support her relatives and no longer have to rely on Sheng Hong to survive.

It’s a pity that Lin Xiaoniang and Molan couldn’t seem to endure until that time.

"In this life, I wanted to give you and your daughter a light punishment and a severe warning. Just a few words of warning would be enough, but you two are so eager to die!"
