C94 There Is No Peace in the Court
"Then we'll settle it together." Lee Wanning raised her chin and said, "Or is it that you, shopkeeper, saw me as an orphan from a foreign land and wanted to bully us?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the waiter beside him. Actually, he knew that his hands and feet had always been dirty. However, since his hands and feet were considered to be nimble, he kept them on.
However, before this, he only went with the flow a little bit, but today, he actually stole his entire bag.
Thinking about this, the shopkeeper could only put down his face and smile as he said, "Lady, don't be in such a hurry. Look, my store is open for business, and you're causing trouble for the government. What do you expect me to do in the future?"
Lee Wanning looked at the shopkeeper's expression and knew that he wanted to suppress the matter. She then looked at the waiter and said, "Actually, I don't have to report it to the government, and I don't have much money in this bag. But there's a jade pendant in there, which is very important to me.
Hearing Lee Wanning's words, the shopkeeper was immediately beaming with joy. He immediately said that he would help her find it, and then he asked the waiter to help him.
Naturally, the waiter had to agree. Lee Wanning waited in the room and after a short while, the shopkeeper brought the items over to her.
Lee Wanning thanked him earnestly. The shopkeeper said that he would give Lee Wanning three days' rent as an apology. Lee Wanning refused, saying that she had lost control of her emotions and could just get her things back.
Seeing Lee Wanning's reaction, the shopkeeper's admiration for her immediately increased, so Lee Wanning didn't say anything to him.
The next day, at daybreak, Lee Wanning packed her things and headed downstairs.
The one on duty was the waiter from yesterday. When he saw her, he immediately turned around. That action made Lee Wanning a little regretful that she didn't let the shopkeeper punish the person in front of her yesterday.
Thinking this, she could only step forward and say, "I want to inquire about something."
He acted as if he didn't hear anything and only packed up the things in his hands. Lee Wanning said angrily, "Looks like I was too merciful yesterday. If you make me angry …"
"What? Do you still want to report to the officials?" He sneered.
Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "I know you're looking at me alone, that's why you treat me like this. I'll tell you this, people like you can only stay here and be a waitress!"
Hearing Lee Wanning's words, the expression on his face changed. Lee Wanning ignored him and turned around to leave.
At the door, Lee Wanning saw a figure at the side. When it saw her, she rushed out and knelt in front of her.
Lee Wanning jumped in fright, tightly protecting Zhou Bao who was in her hands. After a long time, she remembered that this was the little girl who sold her body and buried her father yesterday.
"What do you mean?"
"Benefactor, this is the money left over from yesterday's funeral for my father. Moreover, from today onwards, this girl will be yours!"
With that, the girl kowtowed in front of Lee Wanning. Lee Wanning quickly pulled her up and said, "What are you doing? It's just a small matter, how can I bear with it? "
"Niu'er's parents are dead, there is no one in the family. If you don't accept me as your benefactor, I will have no other path to take, and my father said that I will repay you even if I have to accept your kindness!"
Then, just as the girl was about to kneel down again, Lee Wanning grabbed her and said, "Don't be like this, I'm still holding the child, I …"
Hearing Lee Wanning's words, the girl immediately said, "Child, let me help you …"
After saying that, she suddenly realized that her hands were covered in dirt, causing her to forcefully stop her actions.
Seeing her mood, Lee Wanning said, "It's fine. Forget it, you should be very young, right?"
"Not bad, I'm already 14 years old! I can do anything! " The girl quickly said.
Fourteen years old …
He should have just gone to high school at the age of 14, right?
Lee Wanning smiled and said to her, "You might be bullied when you go to other places at your age, but since you're so determined, you can follow me. You don't have much money or money, but you still have plenty to feed.
When the girl heard that Lee Wanning wanted her to stay, she smiled and nodded. Lee Wanning looked around and said, "I'll take you to buy two sets of clothes first."
This girl was already wearing her best outfit, but it was still tattered. Looking at Lee Wanning, although she was dressed simply, her clothes were clean and the simple and elegant colors made people feel comfortable.
When Lee Wanning arrived at the clothing store, the person looked disdainful when he saw the girls, but Lee Wanning didn't even blink as she bought two sets of clothes that could be considered of good quality. After dressing up, Lee Wanning found that the girls' faces were as pretty as the girls on the street.
Lee Wanning nodded in satisfaction. After settling the bill, she brought her out.
The girl stepped forward and said, "Benefactor, let me carry the child for you."
Lee Wanning shook her head and said, "Don't always call me benefactor. Just call me sister. I want to find someone, but …"
When the girl saw her hesitation, she quickly said, "Mm …" "Young mistress, I've lived here for over ten years, so I'm pretty familiar with the affairs here …"
Hearing her words, Lee Wanning immediately said, "Then do you know who the girl at the inn was yesterday?"
"That Miss Wang?"
Lee Wanning nodded.
The girl said, "That's Prime Minister Wang's daughter."
Prime Minister Wang?
Lee Wanning's brows rose slightly as she said, "Then that man …"
"What man?"
Lee Wanning recalled the scene yesterday. She did not seem to see Ann Wen and could only say, "Forget it, let's go back to the inn first!"
Just as the two of them walked into the inn, they saw a ruckus inside, and they didn't know what had happened.
Lee Wanning walked up to the shopkeeper and saw that people from the government were coming. The storekeeper's face was filled with fear.
When Lee Wanning turned her head, she saw that the waiter was lying on the counter. Bright red blood was continuously flowing from his mouth. It looked as if he had already … Dead.
Lee Wanning's pupils contracted. As she was thinking, a voice could be heard. "It's her!" Lord! It's her! "
Hearing the voice and seeing everyone's eyes on her, Lee Wanning finally knew that he was referring to her.
One of them, a man in a police uniform, walked up to him and said, "You're Lee Wanning, right?"
Lee Wanning nodded.
"Come with us!"
Lee Wanning immediately frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Did you have a quarrel with him yesterday? Moreover, this inn has just opened for business, and everyone is sleeping well. Only you left the inn early, so why do you think?"
Lee Wanning immediately felt that it was a bit funny and said, "You've decided my crime just like that. I'm a weak girl, and I have a child in my hands. Don't you find it funny? "
"How is that impossible?"
Lee Wanning turned her head and saw Wang Yanran walking in with a smile on her face. When she glanced at Lee Wanning, her eyes were filled with disdain.
Although Lee Wanning didn't really like her, she didn't have any big conflicts with her. She never would have thought that she would use such a method to deal with him.
Lee Wanning's eyes darkened. "What do you mean by that?"
Wang Yanran glanced at her with disdain in her eyes. "No meaning, I just want to tell the officials that there are too many women with hearts like snakes and scorpions. I can't judge a person by his appearance, it's better to investigate him carefully!"
"I can prove that when benefactor came out, he was still fine. How could it be possible that benefactor killed him?"
"You already know how to praise her benefactor. You must have helped her." Wang Yanran immediately said.
Lee Wanning's face was gloomy. She slowly put Zhou Bao on the girl's hand and said, "Since you want to add the crime, then there's no need to say it. Since that's the case, then I'll go with you. Girl, take good care of my child."
The girl's eyes immediately reddened. Lee Wanning rubbed her hair and said, "I believe you. You should …" You won't let me down, will you? "
The girl quickly shook her head. Lee Wanning then looked at the constable and said, "Let's go."
Her face was filled with honesty and righteousness, which made Wang Yanran frown. She glanced at the people beside her, and they immediately took Lee Wanning away.
Arriving at the court, Lee Wanning glanced at the people in the hall and slowly kneeled down. "My daughter Lee Wanning pays her respects to the lord. I hope the lord can observe the situation and return my innocence!"
