Chapter 18 Little girl, sign and stamp!

 After entering the city, the little guy temporarily stored the carriage in the stable.

 When they got to the medicine shop, the shopkeeper packed the silver that had been counted in a big package and tied it on Shen Ningning's back.

"Little miss, is the money very valuable? Do you want me to find someone to **** you back to the carriage?" Shopkeeper Fang asked.

Shen Ningning shook her head: "No need, I can carry it. By the way, grandpa shopkeeper, do you know how to get to Zhennan General's Mansion?"

"Zhennan General's Mansion?" Shopkeeper Fang's expression became respectful: "Follow our street, turn left, and walk through two more intersections, and you'll be there."

Shen Ningning said softly, "Thank you."

Seeing her leaving with little feet, Shopkeeper Fang wondered in a hissing voice: "Can this girl know someone from the General's Mansion? Is her background really not small?"

After Shen Ningning left the medicine shop, she first found a deserted place and hid all the money in the fairyland.

 She only had one hundred taels on her body.

 Following that, the little guy went to buy some cakes.

 She is very well behaved.

Grandma said that when you go to someone’s home as a guest, you have to bring a gift. You can’t come empty-handed. That’s very rude.

 The weather was hot, sweat was stained on her forehead, and her black hair was stuck to her fair and jade-like texture.

 Walked continuously for half a stick of incense.

The little guy stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat and threw the water bag to the refugees, but his mouth was parched.

 Finally reaching the gate of Zhennan General's Mansion, she was overjoyed and left all her fatigue behind.

 I can see my brother soon!

 She looked down at her skirt and shoes.

Today she was wearing a pink butterfly skirt and shoes of the same color that she bought specially for herself that day.

After making sure that she was properly dressed, Shen Ningning came forward with the cakes.

"Excuse me..." She raised her head with difficulty and looked at the tall guards of the General's Mansion: "I'm looking for Brother Mo, is he at home?"

The guard looked at her intently and paid no attention to her.

Shen Ningning asked twice more, but the other party treated her like nothing!

 This can be difficult for little ones.

What's going on?

At this moment, a man wearing a long coat and looking very elegant walked out of the mansion.

 She walked up quickly: "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for Brother Mo. Is he at home?"

The housekeeper paused and looked at Shen Ningning up and down: "Brother Mo? Who is it?"

The little guy hurriedly said: "Mo Lingwei."

The housekeeper was startled and said angrily: "How dare you! Where did this brat dare to cause trouble at the gate of the General's Mansion? Is the name of His Highness the Prince addressed by a person like you?"

It was Shen Ningning's turn to be surprised: "But my brother asked me to come here to find him and gave me a piece of jade..."

 She didn't even finish her words, but the housekeeper had already decided that she was a little liar with malicious intentions.

"Hurry up and get rid of her. The master and the young master will return home soon. They will definitely be angry when they see an unknown girl talking nonsense here!" the housekeeper interrupted her.

The guard obeyed the order, stretched out his big palm, and directly grabbed Shen Ningning's clothes.

Like lifting a little chicken, he picked her up effortlessly.

"Let me go! Brother! Brother, save me!" The little guy struggled desperately.

The housekeeper rolled his eyes: "These days, there are so many tricks for liars. Knowing that our master is a close confidant of the prince, how dare you do this? Ha!"

“Ah—” Shen Ningning was thrown out of the intersection by the guard.

Her petite body fell hard to the ground, a bright red streak appeared on her arm, and her skirt was torn.

The guard warned fiercely: "Stay far away! Otherwise, you will have a good harvest!"

Shen Ningning had tears in her eyes, and the dark eyes on her tender white face were filled with grievances.

She picked up the cake and muttered with a choked voice: "It was really my brother who asked me to come here to find him..."

 The little guy is extremely sad.

 Brother said his name was Mo Lingwei, but they said Mo Lingwei was the prince.

Then if the brother is the prince, why did he let her come to the general's mansion? Did her brother lie to her?

Thinking of the jade pendant that was eaten by the fairyland, there is no evidence to prove that she and her brother know each other.

Shen Ningning looked back at the general's mansion, wiped away her tears, and left lonely.

At this moment, a gorgeous carriage passed by her.

 The little guy was confused by the dust and stood there rubbing his eyes.

 The carriage stopped at the Zhennan General's Mansion, and the steward immediately greeted him: "Master, Master, you are back."

General Chen got off the carriage with a dignified face and entered the house without saying a word. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

His son, Chen Shaobei, the eldest son of the General's Mansion, is twelve years old and has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes.

The steward asked flatteringly: "Master, have you seen His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No," Chen Shaobei said coldly, "The prince returned to the palace and broke the sixth prince's limbs. The emperor was displeased and ordered him to kneel down in the Buddhist hall. The whole court tried to persuade him, but the emperor refused to take back the order."

He sighed: "Tomorrow my father and I will go to the palace to continue begging for mercy. Please pack up a few pieces of my clothes and I will stay in the palace barracks and not come back for the time being."

 “Yes.” The steward agreed.

At this moment, Chen Shaobei looked back and saw a small pink figure silently walking away along the wall.

 He frowned slightly: "Who is that?"

This alley can only lead to the General's Mansion.

The steward took one look and said, "The refugees who came to defraud people of food have been driven away."

 Chen Shaobei withdrew his gaze.

Shen Ningning was carrying the tattered pastry, and her body was stained with dust and could not be cleaned.

 She was walking under the scorching sun, feeling slightly absent-minded.

 The little one is thinking that she may never have the chance to meet her brother again in her life.

Just when she was extremely sad, a hand suddenly stretched out from the alley next to her and grabbed her directly!

Before Shen Ningning could exclaim, her mouth was already covered.

 In the dilapidated alley, there were four or five stout men standing.

A man wearing a mandarin jacket and a long coat, with a philistine and treacherous appearance, looked at Shen Ningning with a smile on his face.

“Let me tell you, why did the shopkeeper Fang of Huichun Hall suddenly become rich? He thought he was favored by the gods so that he could have so many medicinal materials. It turns out that it was you who sold the good medicinal materials to him!”

Shen Ningning took two steps back, her eyes wary: "I sold them all to him, and there are no more medicinal materials."

The philistine man laughed: "If you sell something to him, you are ruining my business. Cutting off someone's money is like taking someone's life. Little girl, do you understand?"

 After he said that, the strong man on the side suddenly took out a dagger and put it against Shen Ningning's face.

The man threatened: "Since you are a child, I will let you go for now. If I dare to see you selling medicinal materials to him again, I will ask your family to collect your body!"

 After saying that, he winked, and the strong man took out a piece of paper.

The man said: "This complaint states that you were forced to sell medicinal materials to Shopkeeper Fang. I will report it to the official for you. If the official asks you, you can say that he forced you and ask him to repay double the money."

 “Sign and stamp, and I’ll let you go!”

Shen Ningning struggled: "I don't want it, I don't want to lie!"

 “It’s not up to you!” The man became stronger: “Press her down and let her draw the mark!”

The little guy immediately touched his fingers and was about to hide in the fairyland.

 Suddenly!

 A black shadow fell from the sky.

His knees were directly on the back of the neck of the strong man holding Shen Ningning.

 The strong man fell suddenly!

Before Shen Ningning could react, he was grabbed by a hand and pulled behind the man.

She raised her clear eyes and saw a thin figure.
