TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 249 Return of the Pearl Buddha 17

When Jinsuo heard Shi Ling's words, he stopped and was about to step out of the room. He looked up and met Ziwei's nervous eyes.

Very nervously asked: "What should I do? They really sent someone to look for me."

"Have they found our tracks by now? Should we leave?"

Every arrangement here took them a lot of effort, and no one would be willing to give it up.

Ziwei quickly calmed down and said, "Let's not panic. Girl, eat something first. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."

"It's late at night now. No matter how anxious we are, they won't jump out immediately."

"Yes, yes, Ziwei is right. You should eat something first. The doctor said you are very weak now."

Xiaoyanzi was immediately convinced by Ziwei's words and handed the bowl over.

Things have to be resolved, there's no point in being anxious.

Shi Ling covered his empty stomach and then started drinking in big gulps.

Afterwards, Shi Ling told them in detail what she had seen and heard, which scared the three of them into breaking out in cold sweats, especially Xiaoyanzi.

She also deliberately chose jewelry without any marks, but she didn't expect that the workmanship would be exposed.

After Shi Ling fell asleep, the three of them sat together to discuss future matters.

"Let's go south this time, to a more remote place. I don't believe the emperor will keep sending people to look for him."

Xiaoyanzi was in a complicated mood because the emperor was so good to her.

That was the father who had only appeared in dreams. He ran away without saying goodbye to him, and the other party sent people to look for him.

I felt nervous, scared, and a little guilty.

Jinsuo has never had a strong opinion. He frowned and looked at Ziwei, hoping that she could make a decision.

"That Miss Shi Ling came all this way to deliver the news to us. It's obvious that she went through a lot of hardships along the way."

"I think Erkang and the others really haven't found any trace of her."

Although they didn't spend much time together, Ziwei still had confidence in Erkang's character. "He might follow Miss Shi, but he wouldn't leave her seriously ill and die without help."

"We're a hundred miles apart, and they can't be sure where we've gone. I think we're safe for now."

"So, you mean we should pretend we know nothing?"

Xiaoyanzi always felt that this was inappropriate. She was worried about implicating Ziwei, but she didn't want her to continue running around with her. Suddenly, she had other ideas in her mind.

As soon as this thought arose, she pushed it away. This couldn't happen. They had agreed to live together.

It was too dangerous for two weak women to live here alone, she couldn't just ignore it.

"Of course we can't just sit there and wait for death. There are only a few ways into the city. If Erkang and the others come here, they will definitely attract attention."

"We have to find a way to keep an eye on them."

Xiaoyanzi stood up upon hearing this, laughed heartily, and patted her chest, "It's that simple, leave it to me."

"you?"

Ziwei and Jinsuo both looked at her in surprise.

"What are you going to do?"

"Well, it's easy. There are plenty of beggars and street performers in the city."

"When I first came to the city, I went to buy something and encountered a group of thieves on the road. I caught them and gave them a good beating."

"I kidnapped the leader who controlled them and threw him to the government office. The remaining children lived in a dilapidated temple in the east of the city, and on weekdays they ran errands for others to earn a few copper coins."

"Later, I often sent them some food. They were able to help with this little favor."

Xiaoyanzi felt very proud when talking about this. If they had not taken them in when they were in the capital, those children in the slum would have been sent to become thieves or beggars.

She has money now, so she would help if she could when she encountered something like this.

Although those children are poor, they are all grateful and repay their gratitude.
