Chapter 18: Little Girl, Sign and Seal!

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

When they arrived at the pharmacy, the shopkeeper packed the silver that had been ordered into a large package and helped tie it to Shen Ningning's back.

"Miss, is the silver very heavy? Do you want me to find someone to escort you back to the carriage?" Shopkeeper Fang asked.

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

"Zhennan General's Mansion?" Shopkeeper Fang's expression became respectful: "Go along our street and turn left. After passing two intersections, you will arrive."

Shen Ningning said softly: "Thank you."

Seeing her leave with her little feet, Shopkeeper Fang wondered in a hoarse voice: "This girl can also know someone in the general's mansion? Is she really from a big family?"

After Shen Ningning left the pharmacy, she first found a place where no one was and hid all the silver in the fairyland.

She only had 100 taels on her.

Then, the little guy went to buy a bag of cakes.

She was very well behaved.

Grandma said that when visiting someone's house, you have to bring gifts, and you can't go empty-handed, that's very impolite.

The weather was hot, sweat stained her forehead, and her black hair stuck to her white jade-like skin.

She walked for half an incense stick of time.

The little girl stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat, threw the water bag to the refugees, and her mouth was dry.

After finally reaching the gate of the Zhennan General's Mansion, she was overjoyed and put all the fatigue behind her.

I will see my brother soon!

She looked down at her skirt and shoes.

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

After confirming that she was dressed appropriately, Shen Ningning came forward with the cakes.

"Excuse me..." She raised her head with difficulty and looked at the tall guard of the general's mansion: "I want to find Brother Mo, is he at home?"

The guard looked straight at her and ignored her.

Shen Ningning asked twice again, but the other party treated her as air!

This made the little girl feel embarrassed.

What's going on?

Just then, a man in a long gown who looked very gentle walked out of the mansion.

She hurriedly walked up to him: "Hello, uncle, I'm looking for Brother Mo, is he at home?"

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

The little guy hurriedly said: "Mo Lingwei."

The housekeeper was stunned and said angrily: "How dare you, little devil, to make trouble at the gate of the general's mansion? Is the name of the prince called by people 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..."

Before she finished speaking, the housekeeper had already determined that she was a little liar with bad intentions.

"Hurry up and drive her away. The master and the young master will return to the mansion soon. They will be angry when they see a girl who came from nowhere talking nonsense here!" The housekeeper interrupted her.

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

Like lifting a chicken, he lifted her up effortlessly.

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

The housekeeper rolled his eyes: "These days, the tricks of liars are endless. Knowing that our master is the prince's confidant, you dare to do this? Ha!"

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

Her petite body fell hard on the ground, her arm was scratched with a scarlet streak, and her skirt was directly torn.

The guard warned fiercely: "Stay away! Otherwise, you will have a hard time!"

Shen Ningning held back tears, and the pair of black eyes on her fair face were soaked with grievances.

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

The little guy was particularly sad.

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

If my brother was the prince, why did he let her come to the general's mansion?

Did my brother lie to her?

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

Shen Ningning looked back at the General's Mansion, wiped away her tears, and left in a lonely manner.

Just then, a gorgeous carriage passed by her.

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

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

General Chen had a square face and stepped down from the carriage with a dignified look. He walked into the mansion without saying a word and looked unhappy.

His son, the eldest master of the General's Mansion, Chen Shaobei, was twelve years old and had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

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

"No," Chen Shaobei said coldly: "The Crown Prince returned to the palace and cut the tendons of the Sixth Prince's hands and feet. The Emperor was displeased and punished him to kneel in the Buddhist temple for a long time. The whole court was persuading him, but the Emperor refused to take back his order."

He sighed: "My father and I will go to the palace to continue to plead tomorrow. You pack a few of my clothes and I will stay in the palace barracks and not come back for the time being."

"Yes." The housekeeper agreed.

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

He frowned slightly: "Who is that?"

This alley can only lead to the general's mansion.

The housekeeper took a look and said: "The refugees who wanted to cheat for food! They have been driven away."

Chen Shaobei retracted his gaze.

Shen Ningning was carrying a broken cake, and her body was covered with dirty dust and could not be cleaned.

She walked in the scorching sun, slightly absent-minded.

The little girl was thinking that she might never have the chance to reunite with 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.

There were four or five stout men standing in the dilapidated alley.

A man wearing a mandarin jacket and a long coat, who looked like a philistine and treacherous, looked at Shen Ningning with a smile.

"Let me tell you, why did 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 pressed it against Shen Ningning's face.

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

After 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 government for you. If the government asks you, you can say that he forced you and ask him to repay double the money."

"Sign and sign, 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 said forcefully: "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, she was grabbed by a hand and pulled behind the man.

She raised her clear eyes and saw a thin figure.
