I became the villain's deceased wife

Aunt Wen didn't go out the whole night, and Song Tian was worried, so she went to check on her early the next morning.

I realized that her face was pale and slightly hot to the touch. She actually had a fever!

"Auntie, Auntie, wake up!"

Song Tian asked the store owner for a bowl of sour plum soup, hoping to help Aunt Wen cool down.

"Girl Tian!"

Aunt Wen was sleeping in a daze.

The injury on my back doesn't hurt as much anymore, but there's still a numb feeling of swelling.

It was all my fault for being too careless yesterday. I let a few little thieves hurt my back!

Sure enough, he is old and no longer useful.

"What time is it now?"

She took a sip of sour plum soup from Song Tian's hand and asked.

"It's three quarters past the hour of Mao, and the sky is already bright."

Song Tian glanced out the window anxiously.

"Auntie, I have something important to do today, so I can't stay to take care of you.

I gave the shopkeeper twenty taels of silver and asked him to hire a doctor for you.

You must listen to the doctor's instructions and take your medicine properly.

If everything goes well, we will return tomorrow!"

Although she felt very sorry for Aunt Wen, the situation was urgent and she couldn't be too polite.

Aunt Wen took the bowl and drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, then said cheerfully:

"Have you found a way to see the imperial envoy?

Don't worry about me, just go away.

If I'm not feeling well tomorrow, you can hire a car and go back.

I was just overworked, so I took a few days off and went back on my own. "

After all, Tian girl’s affairs are more important.

Song Tian felt even more ashamed when she heard her say this. He clasped his hands together and bowed to Aunt Wen:

"Song Tian will never forget the righteous help from the old lady.

If my family can successfully survive this disaster, I will definitely repay you for your kindness!"

She and Aunt Wen only met by chance, but she was able to do this for her. Song Tian was extremely grateful.

Aunt Wen waved her hand weakly:

"Save the polite words for later, go and do your business."

She could see that Song Tian was quite anxious.

I just don’t know what method she came up with. Is it safe?

In my current condition, I can’t go and help.

I just hope everything goes well for her and she succeeds quickly.

Song Tian bowed again to say goodbye to Aunt Wen, then packed up his things and hurried out.

There were already many policemen clearing the streets:

"What are you doing? I told you that the Imperial Envoy will be passing through this road today and you are not allowed to set up stalls to sell goods. Why don't you listen?

Be careful or I will confiscate them all from you!"

The officials from the government office were armed with mighty official swords and drove the vendors on both sides away in a domineering manner.

"Master, please be kind and let us set aside for a while.

There is no food at home. If I can’t make money today, my whole family will starve!”

The man clasped his hands together and begged desperately.

The officers waved their hands irritably:

“No, no.

The road will be cleared soon, and no one is allowed to wander around on the street. If you don't hurry up, you'll be thrown into jail!"

When the street vendor heard this, he was shocked to find that he would go to jail!

Being hungry is better than being in jail.

Pack your things and leave quickly.

Song Tian tightened the bag on his shoulders, lowered his head and hurried on his way.

She had to get to Qinglian Lake before noon, otherwise the two hundred taels of silver would be wasted.

Along the way, I heard the people on both sides of the road complaining:

"Hey!

Why do we need to clear the road again?

In just five days, they have cleared the way for three days. Are you going to let ordinary people like us live?"

Some people complained while packing up their stalls.

"That's right, didn't the imperial envoy come here to understand the people's sentiments? Why did he come out and drive us away?

He doesn't even know a thing!"

Another aunt screamed and cursed.

I guess he's quite resentful.

"Hush! Please keep your voice down."

Her husband quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"Didn't you see that the officials who were cleaning the road were all from Zhuo Lin Prefecture? The imperial envoy will only be here for a short period of time, and they are the local tyrants. Be careful if they are heard, or they will remember you!"

The aunt with her mouth covered pushed him away in annoyance, but her voice did become softer.

"Officials protecting each other are not good people!"

Song Tian did not stop to listen to their continued discussion, but quickened his pace, trying to get to Cuihuju before the road was completely closed.

When we arrived at Qinglian Lake in the west of the city, it was already surrounded by officials.

The once bustling commercial district is now deserted with no one living there.

They were all occupied by a group of yamen runners in black robes and carrying swords.

“What are you doing!

Don’t you know that the lake area is closed today?”

When Song Tian walked towards the gate of Cuihu Residence, two guards with knives stopped her ferociously.

Song Tian thought that it was fortunate that she went to buy the news yesterday, otherwise, looking at the situation, it would be difficult for her to even see his face, let alone appeal to the imperial envoy.

"I'm a maid at Cuihuju, and I'm here to work."

Song Tian took out the badge she bought from the underground casino.

The two officers took the badge and looked at it. The words "Cui Qiao" were written on it.

On the back is the green willow and lotus pattern unique to Cuihu Residence.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

It appears to be true.

One of them took out a paper fold from his pocket, opened it and glanced around.

I was relieved when I found Cuiqiao's name on the list of maids.

"What's in your bag?"

An officer asked again.

Song Tian quickly took the bag off his shoulder and opened it.

He wore a green and yellow shirt inside, which he also bought from an underground casino yesterday.

"This is our work uniform from Cuihuju. We knew that a distinguished guest would come today, so we took it home to wash it."

She tried to act as naturally as possible.

The officer picked up the clothes in the bundle, shook them, and when he saw nothing unusual, he threw them back to Song Tian:

"Go ahead.

Today, the Imperial Envoy is going to cruise the lake, so you should serve him well and don't cause any trouble!"

The evil spirit gave him a good lesson before finally letting him go.

Song Tian exhaled.

The Imperial Envoy is indeed not so easy to meet.

After entering the kitchen of Cuihuju, Song Tian changed her clothes and hid the petition she had prepared yesterday in her sleeves.

So he went to find the foreman of the kitchen maids.

"Why did you pay to join my waiter team?"

She is a pretty and tall girl. Song Tian feels that her temperament is not inferior to that of the airline's flight attendants.

“Sister Cuirong, my husband has been wronged, and no one in the county can help him.

I just want to get close to the imperial envoy and deliver a letter of redress for my husband!"

This was also what the gambling house manager instructed last night.

This serving team was temporarily hired by Cuihuju, so Cuihuju will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong.

But the foreman Cuirong must know the real purpose, otherwise she will not help.

"We have already agreed that when you file the complaint, don't make any other noise.

There are many government officials around the imperial envoy. If they see you, you will be in big trouble!"

Cuirong also got a general idea of ​​it when she received money from the gambling house.

Knowing that Song Tian was desperate, he came up with this trick.

As a fellow struggling citizen at the bottom of society, she sympathized with Song Tian's situation.

There is nothing wrong in giving her a favor, but if something goes wrong and you ask her to guarantee you, that would be impossible.

"If your secret is exposed, don't expect me to protect you.

I also want to disassociate myself from you.

They said you stole Cuiqiao's badge and sneaked in."

The gambling house manager didn't tell her this clearly.

Song Tian also realized that the consequences were so serious!

But she had already come this far, there was no reason for her to back down.

"I understand what my sister means, and I won't cause any trouble for her."

She took a deep breath and encouraged herself!
