The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife Chapter 157 - : North

Chapter 157: North
“But those two men knew how to fight. I didn’t follow them far before they found me and beat me up.
“When I eavesdropped on the conversation between the two of them, they seemed to have an accent from a place further North. It was a little different from the way we speak. It’s also not like you, Madam Zhao, who spoke in an official language that made it difficult for people to tell where you were from.
“As for the woman you mentioned, I only heard that there was indeed an injured woman who appeared in the mountain gaze for two days two months ago. She finally appeared on East Street and then disappeared. I haven’t heard of another woman whose background I don’t know about in the town in the past two months.”
A northerner?
Yue Jiaojiao frowned.
The original owner should be a southerner, but the person who came to find her now was from the North.
She couldn’t be like those in novels where she was a fake daughter who had been sold to someone in Jiangnan and suffered a lot. Now, her family had found her and wanted to take her back, but the real daughter of her family didn’t agree to send people to harm her on the road.
As for the two men who were looking for her and were afraid of being found out, were they sent by the fake heiresses to confirm her body?
Yue Jiaojiao was thunderstruck by her own thoughts.
It was fine to travel to ancient times, but the original owner couldn’t really have such a melodramatic life, right? Not to mention her delicate body, one look and one could tell that she had been pampered since she was young and had never suffered the pains of labor.
“Thank you for your troubles.” Yue Jiaojiao took out a piece of silver from her purse and handed it over. “Take this to see your injuries first. If you don’t have enough silver, let me know.”
“Madam Zhao.” Chen Xiaolang reached out to take the money but retracted it. “I don’t want the money. If my mother is really working in your shop, please help me take care of her.”
“That’s a separate matter.” Yue Jiaojiao insisted on handing the silver to him. “If you don’t want it, I’ll have to give it to Doctor Zhou.”
Afraid that Doctor Zhou would worry about him again, Chen Xiaolang took the silver.
“Madam Zhao, I also heard the two of them talking about something else, Yingluo.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were deep as she looked at him.
This Chen Xiaolang was indeed a great wanderer. He had only said half of what he needed to say, but he was probably waiting for her response.
If she had been cold, it would have been impossible for her to hear the second half of the sentence.
Being pierced by her gaze, Chen Xiaolang shrank his neck and his eyes flickered. “I’m actually mainly worried about my mother.”
As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Yue Jiaojiao. When he saw that she was still cold and indifferent, he felt a little regretful for no reason. He spilled everything he knew, “I heard those two people say that they came here because of Madam Yan’s orders. If we find her, we can coax it out fo her.”
“The surname Yan isn’t very common, and I’ve never left the mountain gaze. I don’t know if it’s a big family in the North.
“But Madam Zhao, I heard from their conversation that the person they’re looking for is the maternal young miss of the family.”
Chen Xiaolang sneaked a glance at Yue Jiaojiao. He was curious if the person the two men were looking for was the person in front of him.
If this Madam Zhao had treated him like a dirty rag and thrown hhim away, he was prepared to tell the two men her address after he left.
Yue Jiaojiao saw through Chen Xiaolang’s thoughts with a single glance. This kind of person who had been looked down upon for a long time and had no choice but to be fierce was extremely sensitive to other people’s attitudes.
He could be ignored, but not taken lightly.
“I understand. These two people are very dangerous, so don’t keep an eye on them for now.” Yue Jiaojiao’s voice was cold but her expression was calm. “But keep an eye on that woman’s whereabouts for me. If you find her, I’ll give you ten silver as a thank you gift.
