Chapter 381 Childhood sweetheart becomes a father (5)
"Mom, let's go!"
Pushing Sun Tianzhuang aside, Ning Shi climbed out of the window and tried to pull Sun Yueniang.
"But, your uncle..."
Seeing Sun Tianzhuang with blood all over his head and face, fainting on the ground with his eyes closed, Sun Yueniang was still very concerned.
Ning Shi gritted his teeth anxiously, "Uncle is fine, the ancestral hall keeper will come to find him later, but it will be terrible if we are discovered. By the way, take the money that uncle brought and follow me!"
Sun Yue Niang thought the same and hurriedly followed Ning Shi, went around to a dog hole in the courtyard wall, bent down, and crawled out of the dog hole.
"Shi'er, you are smart. Remember you kids once sneaked in through the dog hole to play, and you thought that your uncle would come back to see us tonight, so you came up with this idea to escape. Otherwise, we couldn't open the window."
Sun Yue Niang was probably too scared, and she kept muttering to herself as she ran.
Ning Shi saw that they had already left the village, so he stopped and looked in the right direction. "Mom, don't say these things for now. Once they find out that we have escaped, they will come to catch us. So we have to leave quickly and travel at night. Don't you remember that my father is from the capital? Let's go to the capital."
"But I don't even know his name. The capital is so big, how can I find him?"
Sun Yue Niang had only been to the county town a few times in her life. When she heard that she was going to the capital, she was nervous.
Ning Shi frowned, "But we have nowhere else to go. Staying here is a dead end! The capital is so big, there are many ways to make a living, we can always find a way to survive. Since my father can come here from the capital, he is rich, I am afraid he is a wealthy businessman who travels all over the country. Let's start with the wealthy merchants in the capital."
"Shi'er, you are right. As long as we find your father, we will have a good life."
Thinking of that man's handsome face, Sun Yue Niang blushed and her steps became stronger.
The man didn't know she was pregnant when he left, but it's not his fault, because she didn't even know she was pregnant at that time.
If he knew that she had given birth to such a smart son, he would be happy.
Sun Yue Niang and Ning Shi headed straight for the capital with great ideas, but they had too little money and it soon ran out. They begged all the way to the city wall.
Unexpectedly, they could not enter the capital city casually. They had to pay a city entrance fee, which they could not afford. When they were at their wits' end, a group of people suddenly came out of the city. The leader was very fierce and pushed them over. "His Royal Highness Prince Li is going out, and you stubborn people are not kneeling to greet him. You are really tired of living!"
Sun Yue Niang had been hungry for several meals and was already weak all over. After being pushed like this, she immediately fell to the ground!
"Ah! Mom! Why did you push my mom!"
Ning Shi exclaimed and stretched out his arms to protect Sun Yue Niang. He was just a young child, and he was protecting his mother like this. Besides, the people around knew that an important person was coming, so they didn't dare to make a noise, which made his childish voice even more conspicuous.
Although everyone knew that the followers of big shots were not to be messed with and no one dared to speak for them, passers-by also looked at them sideways.
The big shots in the cavalry also heard it, and they frowned immediately, cursing inwardly that this stupid slave was short-sighted. Right now he and his brothers were fighting for the throne, and they were busy pretending to be courteous and humble, and being close to the people, and yet this stupid slave actually caused trouble for him!
He dismounted quickly and whipped the follower, "These are all my people. Who allowed you to bully these orphans and widows?"
He was friendly to Ning Shi again and instructed other followers to help the man up.
This way, they were very close. Sun Yue Niang raised her head tremblingly, and then her eyes fixed, "Brother, it's you! I really found you!"
"How dare you! This is our prince, how dare you, a woman, pretend to be a royal relative!"
"No, big brother, I'm Yue Niang, Sun Yue Niang! I saved you before. Oh, and this is the son I gave birth to for you. Shi'er, call me daddy!"
Prince Li Ouyang Bin was confused, but he had been killing his brothers for years and was quick to react. When he heard about Yue Niang and how she saved him, he immediately recalled a figure from his distant memory.
Could it be... that woman back then...
But this is too unlike...
He looked at the woman in front of him with a dirty face but trying to touch him, and a feeling of disgust suddenly surged in his heart.
But, but there is still a child...
Besides, there were people all around, so he couldn't let her talk nonsense. Ouyang Bin immediately came to his senses and said loudly, "Are you going to Beijing to look for your elder brother? It's pitiful to see you, an orphan and a widow, fall to this state. Well, I will do a good deed and help you find your elder brother! You, take this mother and son away."
When the attendants received the order, they immediately pushed them into the carriage and warned them not to talk too much.
Ning Shi was so nervous that he was shaking all the time, "Mom, that was my dad just now? My dad is a prince?!"
"Yes, that's your father. Mother would never make a mistake. But, I didn't know he was a prince."
"That's great! I actually have a father who is a prince. Isn't this a hundred times better than a wealthy businessman?"
Ning Shi became more and more excited, but Sun Yue Niang was uneasy. She combed her hair with her hands, trying to make it look less messy. "Shi'er, what do you think of my complexion? Have I aged a lot?"
In fact, Ning Shi didn't need to answer, she knew that although she didn't have to work in the fields during these years in the Ning family, she still had to do housework, cook, wash clothes, and sew and mend, so her life was not a very pampered one.
Coupled with the fatigue from the long journey, she certainly didn't look very good.
But Ouyang Bin hasn't changed much since he was a kid, which makes her feel ashamed when she sees him.
But, but no matter what, she gave birth to a son for Ouyang Bin. For that reason, he wouldn't treat her badly, right...
In this way, mother and son entered the palace, each with their own secrets.
……
Seven days later, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the lights in the study of Prince Li's mansion were still brightly lit. Ouyang Bin's trusted butler came to report, "Your Highness, the secret guards who went to investigate urgently are back. The general news is similar to what the mother and son said, but there are some things they didn't say."
"What's the matter?"
"They did reveal their whereabouts. It was discovered that Ning Shi was not Ning Ning's child and was to be handed over to the authorities. However, the opportunity for him to be discovered was that the Ning family wanted to send another child, Ning Wen, to study. Ning Shi was indignant and wanted to kill Ning Wen when he went up the mountain to collect firewood. Ning Ning found out and wanted to get rid of the family, so Ning Shi revealed his life story."
"They escaped later. It wasn't because the guards were negligent, as they said. It was because Sun Yueniang's brother, Sun Tianzhuang, went to deliver something to them and was knocked unconscious by them. That's how they escaped. I heard that Sun Tianzhuang is still unconscious."
