611 Set Up On The Street
Dabao was stunned.
This rotten egg came without warning. Not to mention the few little black eggs, even Fu Ling and Zi Su did not expect it.
It was also because something had happened in the manor recently—Yu Shaoqing and Helian Beiming bickered and accidentally mentioned Bruiser, causing Old Madam to hear it.
When the Old Madam found out that she actually had a little good grandson in the countryside, she was extremely anxious. She insisted on seeing him and even asked the servants to pack her things. She wanted to look for him personally.
!!
This frightened Helian Beiming and Yu Shaoqing.
Not to mention that she was old and could not endure the hardships of traveling, even if she could handle it, it was winter in the Great Zhou. It was freezing for thousands of miles and snowing for tens of thousands of miles. Even the men would lose a layer of skin when the travel.
The Old Madam missed Bruiser. Everyone in the manor was anxious about this, so they didn’t have the time to care about the rumors among the commoners. They didn’t know that the Eldest Princess’s background and the fact that the Eldest Princess had jinx the Queen Manor had long spread outside.
If they knew, they would not easily let the little fellows out. Usually, they would come and go countless times without any accidents. This time, a little beggar from nowhere smashed Dabao’s head.
The smelly egg liquid covered Dabao’s face. Dabao felt terrible. Xiaobao also felt uncomfortable. He looked at Dabao and said, “It hurts!”
Zi Su quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirty things on Dabao’s head.
Dabao did not know how to speak and did not like to cry. Er’bao and Xiaobao could still cry when they were wronged, he only knew to swallow his grievance.
Zi Su’s heart ached. As she wiped, she looked at the other end. “Who did it? They were so careless!”
The little beggars at the entrance of the alley made faces at them and took out rotten eggs from their pockets.
The usually docile Er’bao was so angry that he stomped his feet. “Don’t smash it!”
Xiaobao placed his hands on his hips and glared angrily. “If you continue to smash me, I’ll release Gu worms to bite you!”
Smack!
Another rotten egg was thrown at him. This time, it did not hit him because Fu Ling blocked it with her mighty body.
Initially, when they saw that it was a few young children, Zi Su and Fu Ling thought that they were playing around and missed. Although they were angry, they did not think of really teaching them a lesson. Now, they have become even worse. Only then did the two of them know that they did it on purpose.
Zi Su gritted her teeth in anger. “Fu Ling, go catch them! I want to see whose children are so wicked!”
Fu Ling hurriedly ran to catch them. However, the group of little beggars was very cunning. When they saw the adults, they ran away!
But how could they outrun Fu Ling? In just two to three steps, Fu Ling caught up.
Fu Ling did not plan to do anything to them on the spot. She just wanted to reprimand them and ask them who asked them to do it and why they bullied her little masters. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, a little beggar opened his mouth and bit her arm!
The little beggar’s mouth was extremely ruthless, and he almost bit off a piece of meat. Fu Ling was in pain and instinctively slapped the child.
She didn’t hit him in the face or head. She hit him in the shoulder.
The little beggar screamed and let go of his mouth before falling to the ground.
Fu Ling felt that she didn’t use so much strength, but the child seemed to have been slapped unconscious by her. The situation was turned around at this moment. The moment the little beggar fell to the ground, a group of men dressed as commoners suddenly rushed over from the street at the side.
The leader shouted, “Aiya! Someone hit someone! She killed a child! Come and see! Someone killed a child!”
The commoners passing by surrounded him.
Fu Ling was trapped.
A middle-aged woman in tattered clothes squeezed through the crowd and came to the fainted little beggar. She let out a cry and collapsed to the ground. She cried at the top of her lungs, “My son… Who was so black-hearted… who beat my son to death…”
She cried bitterly, and all the surrounding commoners were moved.
“It’s her!” Another little beggar pointed at Fu Ling and said, “She killed Brother Hu’zi!”
“I didn’t!” Fu Ling said. “I didn’t hit him. He bit me…”
The middle-aged woman interrupted her. “You killed my son when he bit you… Damn it… He’s still a child…” As she spoke, she started crying hysterically again.
Fu Ling said anxiously, “I didn’t kill him! I only patted him gently!”
The middle-aged woman roared, “You admit it! You admit that you attacked! Everyone, listen! She personally admitted that she beat my son to death!”
“I didn’t!” Fu Ling couldn’t argue.
“Ah, I recognize her. She’s a maidservant of the Helian family!” Someone in the crowd shouted.
Because of the Eldest Princess living in the Helian family, the Helian family had been pushed into the limelight recently. When the Helian family was mentioned, it was filled with doubts and complaints. Originally, the opinions were divided in half. Now that they saw this maidservant’s viciousness, the scales in everyone’s hearts instantly tilted.
“The Helian family is getting more and more outrageous!”
“That’s right! He actually raised such a servant! She killed a child on the street!”
“But why did this child bite her?”
“She chased after us! She caught Brother Hu’zi before Brother Hu’zi bit her! She’s so fierce!”
“She’s too much of a bully. Is the Helian family so great? Is a beggar not human?”
The more they criticized, the more they pressed down on Fu Ling.
Fu Ling said angrily, “That’s not true! They threw rotten eggs at my little masters! I’m going to catch them!”
“We didn’t smash it!”
“Yes! We didn’t smash it! She just thinks we’re dirty! She wants us to get lost quickly! Don’t be an eyesore to her little masters!”
The little beggars began to twist the truth. Fu Ling was an expert at fighting, but she was not eloquent. Moreover, she only had one mouth, but the other party had seven to eight mouths. It was obvious that she could not win.
Initially, Dabao was the one who was bullied first. Fu Ling was just going to seek an explanation. In the end, it was forcefully distorted into Fu Ling bullying others and beating people to death on the streets.
How was that child dead? He was just pretending to faint on the spot. Fu Ling’s wrist was still bleeding, but these people ignored her.
“My son… You died so miserably… As your mother, I’m useless… I couldn’t give you a full meal… I caused you to come out and beg… You offended a noble… I was wrong…”
The middle-aged woman was crying and snot. She seemed to have taken the blame, but who could really bear to blame a poor mother? Who wouldn’t beg along the streets when they were at their wits’ end?
It was not the beggars who were in the wrong, but the servants of the Helian family who could disregard human lives if they disliked beggars.
It was unknown who made the first move. Fu Ling was tripped over by a few men. Fu Ling wanted to fight back.
“Look, look! The Helian family is going to beat someone to death again!”
Fu Ling’s hand paused. Not only did this group of people bully Fu Ling, but there were a few little beggars that were scolding the little black eggs.
“Little jinx! Get out!”
“Yes! Get out! Don’t stay with us!”
“Little brat!” Zi Su was so angry that she picked up the wooden stick on the ground.
“Aiya, she’s killing someone! She killed someone!” The little beggars shouted at the top of their lungs and fled like a swarm of bees.
In the end, it was the patrolling officials who heard the commotion and walked over with spears to suppress the chaos.
At this moment, Fu Ling had already been injured. As for the group of beggars who caused trouble, they had already fled the moment the officials arrived.
No one reported it, so the matter was naturally left unsettled.
However, in accordance with the principle of fairness and justice, the official still asked Fu Ling about the incident. After learning that Fu Ling was from the Helian Manor, the official decided to visit her again to collect evidence.
The official escorted Fu Ling back to the Helian Manor.
However, even such a fair matter became something that officials could not afford to offend the Helian family after being distorted and spread by someone. Therefore, they let go of the culprit who killed the children on the streets.
The Helian family’s reputation plummeted.
“The Helian family wasn’t like this in the past. Ever since that family came, the Helian family has followed in the footsteps of the Queen.”
“Aiya, what a pity, Old General. You can’t rest in peace in the netherworld!”
Yu Wan did not know about these rumors for the time being, but she had seen Dabao and Fu Ling’s injuries.
Dabao was not seriously injured, but his forehead was a little swollen. Fu Ling was in trouble. Yu Wan had known her for so long, but this capable maidservant had never been in such a sorry state.
Her face was disfigured. With Fu Ling’s strength, if she hadn’t encountered an expert, she would have obediently been beaten up. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for her to be injured like this.
“What happened?” Yu Wan asked in a deep voice.
Fu Ling did not say anything. Zi Su told Yu Wan everything that had happened in detail. She blamed herself very much. If she hadn’t asked Fu Ling to capture those children, such a thing might not have happened.
“It’s not your fault,” Yu Wan said. “Someone set you up.”
