Chapter 1952 Falling into the water
"Madam, rest assured. With me here, the charity hall will not be in chaos."
Li Yao saluted with his fists clasped. Seeing his serious face, Wan Shufang nodded slightly. After handing over all matters to Li Yao, she returned to the inn with Chen Changli.
evening.
A breeze blew, and the windows creaked. Wan Shufang lay on the bed with her back exposed. After a busy day, she only felt sore in her waist and back.
Seeing her weak appearance, Chen Changli chuckled and said, "Come closer, I'll massage your shoulders."
Hearing this, the little body began to move, slowly moving closer to the bed. His big hands covered his shoulders, rubbing them lightly and pinching them hard, making Wan Shufang close her eyes in comfort.
"Shufang, you've worked hard these past two days. Now that things are settled, you should have a good rest for two days."
"Yeah, we need to take a rest." Wan Shufang agreed. Just as they were enjoying Chen Changli's technique, someone knocked on the door of the room. They were stunned and stopped.
"Who?"
Wan Shufang sat up and asked outside at the top of her voice. The door was soon pushed open and the waiter came in and said respectfully, "My two guests, there will be a lantern festival in the town tonight. It's quite fun. If you are bored, you can go and join in."
The two men were generous with their money and were considered to be the inn's distinguished guests, which was why the waiter came to inform them.
When Wan Shufang heard about the lantern festival, her eyes lit up. No matter how tired she was, she still wanted to join in the fun. She sent the waiter away, and Chen Changli pressed the man down to lie down.
"Come again in the evening. Lie down first and I'll give you another massage."
"Okay." Wan Shufang smiled, listened to him obediently, and let him massage her.
It was not until nightfall, when they had rested enough, that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang went out after dinner and wandered around the bustling lantern festival market.
The lantern festival in the small town was extremely lively, with lights and decorations all around. All kinds of lanterns came into view, so colorful that it was dizzying. The faces of the people were also filled with joyful smiles.
"Chen Changli, look, the lanterns over there are so lifelike!" Wan Shufang's eyes showed surprise, and she pulled Chen Changli to a small stall.
She picked up a rabbit lantern and couldn't let it go.
"This lady has good taste. Rabbit lanterns are my best-selling style. Young master, would you like to buy one for her?"
The stall owner smiled and tried to attract customers. Upon hearing this, Chen Changli took out some change from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner: "I'll take this."
After paying the money, the two men walked away, with the stall owner behind them still shouting.
"Okay, my two guests, take care!"
"Chen Changli, the people in this small town are so kind and honest. I quite like it here."
"There are good people and bad people everywhere." Chen Changli subconsciously refuted, only to see Wan Shufang rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue at him, saying, "I know, but at least there aren't any now."
She was smiling as she trotted forward happily, strolling along the way. Soon she had bought a lot of small things, and the two of them walked hand in hand on the street.
Suddenly seeing a familiar face, Wan Shufang's eyes lit up: "It's Dandan, let's go over there quickly."
As she spoke, she pulled Chen Changli to the other side of the bridge. Seeing the purse in front of Dandan, Wan Shufang immediately understood and gently touched the little guy's head.
"Sister!" Dandan was very excited to see Wan Shufang. She handed over her purse with her little hand: "Sister, do you like it? Pick one. I embroidered them myself. If you sell them, you can get some money to buy delicious food."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was immediately surprised: "Did you embroider all of them yourself?"
Seeing Dandan nod, Wan Shufang couldn't help but admire that the embroidery of this purse was very good and the patterns were rich. Except for some small details that were not handled well, the embroidery was very beautiful.
She didn't expect Dandan to have this skill, and she praised her generously: "Dandan is amazing, the embroidery is very good."
As she spoke, Wan Shufang had already made up her mind that she would find an embroidery workshop for Dandan so that she could have a living. It would not be good for the little girl to stay in the charity hall forever.
At this moment, Dandan didn't know what Wan Shufang was thinking. She only knew that she was praised by her sister, and her little mouth opened wide and she laughed even more happily.
After accompanying Dandan to sell purses for a while, the two saw people setting off lanterns by the river. On a whim, they comforted the little guy and went to the river to set off lanterns.
Two lanterns floated on the water. Wan Shufang clasped her hands together and made a silent wish.
At the end of her wish, Wan Shufang hadn't even opened her eyes when she suddenly heard a commotion around her. She looked up abruptly when she heard a scream.
"Chen Changli..."
"Someone fell into the water, Anqi!" Chen Changli shouted, and a dark figure flew out in an instant, and jumped into the water with a splash to save the person.
After rescuing the person, Wan Shufang saw that it was a woman. At this moment, Wan Shufang was soaked all over, and her cold clothes stuck to her skin, highlighting her curvy figure.
There were suddenly many malicious looks around. Seeing this, Wan Shufang's eyes darkened and she took off her cloak and covered the woman with it. When she was wondering who this girl was, discussions suddenly broke out all around.
"Hey, isn't this the disaster star? Why did he jump into the river?"
"Good jump. She killed her own parents. She deserved to die long ago."
Wan Shufang's heart sank as the discussion reached her eardrums. She stared at the person who was speaking: "What do you mean by that?"
The man was a little frightened by Wan Shufang's stare and subconsciously took a few steps back, but when he thought of Caixia's life experience, he immediately straightened his back.
"You probably don't know this yet, but this woman is called Caixia, and she lives in the south. She is a notorious unlucky person in town, and she killed her parents and brought misery to her relatives. No one dares to get involved with her, so I advise you to stay out of her business."
It seemed as if they had found the backbone. After that person finished speaking, the others also talked non-stop. From the fragments of information, Wan Shufang also pieced together Caixia's life experience.
He is probably a poor man whose parents have died, and he is also labeled as a person who is unlucky.
She didn't believe it, so she winked at the secret guard and said in a cold voice, "Take her to the charity hall."
"Yes, ma'am."
The secret guard took the order and picked up the woman, then they walked out of the crowd and headed towards the charity hall. The discussions behind them continued, and the crowd gradually dispersed until their figures disappeared.
Inside the Charity Hall.
With Wan Shufang's treatment, the woman woke up quickly. Seeing that she was rescued, she was a little surprised. She propped herself up and lowered her head towards Wan Shufang.
"Thank you very much, ma'am, for saving my life." As she spoke, a look of relief appeared on her face again: "But you saved the wrong person. I am a disaster star. I deserve to die. I am not worthy of being saved."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang reached out, pushed the person back onto the bed, made her lie down properly, and tucked the quilt around her.
"You are just a weak woman, how can you deserve to die? Rest well and take care of yourself, so that my saving you will not be in vain." Wan Shufang tried to persuade her, but seeing that Caixia had too little desire to survive, she did not say much.
He got up and left Caixia's room, but before leaving, he arranged for someone to keep an eye on Caixia to prevent her from doing anything stupid again.
