Shengjing Noble

Chapter 699 No problem

Fu Muyin followed Ji Qingluo to a village on the outskirts of the city, and then the two stopped outside a thatched cottage.

From the outside, the house is built with thatch and does not look like the owner's place. It looks more like... a poor man's toilet.

"right here."

"This...here?"

Fu Muyin was a little bit unbelievable.

There are actually people living in this toilet in Shengjing City?

Ji Qingluo pushed open the fence made of branches and led her inside, then knocked on the shabby wooden door.

"Who?"

A somewhat rough female voice came, and then she opened the door.

Fu Muyin saw the woman's face. There was a very large reddish-brown birthmark from her eyebrows to the corner of her mouth, which looked a bit ugly.

But the woman did not look timid. Instead, she stood at the door with a calm expression.

"Master Ji? And this one is..."

Ji Qingluo introduced: "This is the girl I told you about before who wanted to find a female guard."

"Hello, my name is Lu Lanyin."

The woman nodded and smiled brightly: "Hello, Miss Lu, my name is Rongying."

Ji Qingluo said: "She has practiced martial arts since she was young, and she is extremely powerful. Even the five most powerful guards around me cannot defeat her together."

"So powerful?" Fu Muyin looked surprised.

However, Rongying does look quite tall, and even a simple coarse linen dress cannot conceal her tall and sturdy figure.

Ji Qingluo was already very tall, but Rong Ying was only half a head shorter than him.

If I change into men's clothes, I'm afraid I'll be no different from a man.

If she didn't have a Adam's apple and her chest was not prominent, Fu Muyin would have thought she was a man.

"Thank you for the compliment. Although I can't say that I'm invincible, at least with me here, I can guarantee that ordinary petty thieves will never get close to you."

"What about the bandits?"

"It's no problem for me to fight seven or eight people by myself."

"Really?"

"Of course, if the girl doesn't believe me, you can try my martial arts."

Rongying patted his chest confidently, looking heroic.

"That's not necessary. I don't know martial arts, but I trust Master Ji. I won't doubt the person he introduces."

The emperor's cousin once said, "Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ them if you don't trust them."

Since I have decided to ask Ji Qingluo for help, if I act timidly and doubt him, it will only create resentment.

Besides, there is no benefit for him to cheat.

"Sister Rongying, please name a price."

Fu Muyin was very direct and looked at her expectantly.

Rong Ying looked back at the dark room, then said, "Miss Lu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, my family is in financial difficulty, so I had no choice but to take this job from you. If possible, can you give me this amount?"

She held up three fingers, her face looking a little nervous.

"Three hundred taels?"

Fu Muyin thought about it and felt that three hundred taels was not a lot, not to mention that he would have to accompany her to another place and didn’t know when he would be back.

Unexpectedly, Rong Ying quickly shook her head and explained, "No, no, no! How dare I ask for so much? Thirty taels will be enough. If you think it's too much, twenty-nine taels, no less. My mother... needs this money to save her life."

"Your mother?"

Fu Muyin thought, thirty taels were not enough for her to buy a box of high-quality rouge, but could it save the lives of poor people?

Could it be that my mother had said that she would provide disaster relief and help the poor no matter what? Thinking about it this way, many people really survived and their families were reunited because of my mother's good deeds.

No wonder she is a heroine...the gap between me and my mother is really too big.

Rongying sighed and pushed the door open to make way.

"My mother is lying in there."

Fu Muyin walked in and saw a skinny old man lying on a shabby wooden bed, dying.

"What disease does your mother have?"

"They said it was caused by overwork... The doctor didn't tell me what the disease was, he just prescribed me a lot of expensive medicine... I worked so hard to make money these years, but I couldn't cure my mother's disease. It's all because of my incompetence."

Rongying looked remorseful, and the old man on the bed heard it and spoke weakly to comfort her.

"Ying'er, it's my fault... I've been a burden to you..."

"Mom, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all my fault that I'm not a man and don't have so many opportunities to make money!"

Because she is a woman, even though she is extremely strong, she is not suitable for jobs that require physical strength.

She had disguised herself as a man before to move and deliver goods, but she was always exposed in the end.

Because she had to exert so much force, the bra binder made it hard for her to breathe, so when she reached her limit, she always needed to find a place to untie it and breathe.

But the labor leaders said she was lazy and asked her to get out.

Once she had to tell the truth, but the other party didn't buy it at all and even called her shameless.

In order to survive and to save his mother, Rongying endured too much injustice and grievance.

But she still didn't give up.

This time, she wanted to try out for the escort agency to see if she could be an escort, even if it was just doing odd jobs.

In the end, he was kicked out.

I happened to meet Ji Qingluo.

Seeing that he was a woman, had a simple relationship with her, and had an old mother who needed money, the other party introduced her to Fu Muyin.

"Sister Rongying, if you leave with me, what about your mother?"

"So, I have another unwelcome request..."

Rongying said awkwardly: "I wonder... can you pay first? I can hire someone to take care of my mother, otherwise I... I can't leave."

Fu Muyin thought about it, then said, "Actually, I have an idea. Are you willing?"

"any solution?"

"My grandmother has been friends with Divine Doctor Xue for many years. I can also ask her to let your mother stay in the doctor's house temporarily. The doctor's medicine boy can take care of her."

"Divine Doctor Xue?"

Rongying was surprised.

"Is it the old doctor who is nearly eighty years old? He treated the late emperor. How dare my mother trouble him?"

"That's nothing. My mother was once his last disciple."

"Is this really okay?"

"No problem. Although people say that Dr. Xue has a weird temper, he has been treating poor people over the years. He will not ignore your condition, and I will pay for all the consultation fees!"

"Miss Lu!"

Rong Ying was immediately moved to tears. She knelt on the ground with excitement in her eyes.

Fu Muyin quickly stepped forward to help her up: "You don't have to do this. I'm helping you because you want to protect me."

"Don't worry, you will be my master from now on. I am here to protect you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Rongying promised solemnly.

Fu Muyin smiled and nodded: "I feel relieved with your words. Mr. Ji, please arrange a carriage to take me to Lu Mansion first."

"no problem!"

After the two finished talking, they walked out, and Rongying hurriedly saw them off to the carriage at the door.

Fu Muyin said: "Sister Rong, wait for me."

"Yeah!" Rong Ying nodded. Even with a strong character, his eyes couldn't help but turn red at this moment.
