The whole village is full of tigers, leopards and jackals, and the space widow is escaping with her

Jiang Jiuniang didn't think there was anything strange. Grandma Pang had been back for so long. She had written letters to her family and the palace several times. Mrs. Peng's letter had just arrived belatedly, so she felt there was nothing to be happy about.

But Peng Yuan obviously didn't think so. After all, she was her biological mother, and she couldn't let go of her emotional and flesh-and-blood ties from childhood to adulthood.

More importantly, Peng Yuan has a simple mind. What happened to Aunt Pang before may have been a bit cruel to her, and she was probably worried that her mother would blame her.

Seeing her smiling face now, Jiang Jiuniang made a guess and asked, "Why, Auntie isn't angry with me, is she?"

"No, my mother doesn't know that this is what you and I did! She also doesn't know if Nanny Pang has changed her gender. She told her mother that her eyeballs were lost when she encountered bandits on the way. My mother just feels sorry for her. She suffered a lot despite her age, so she told me to be careful here."

After learning about her mother's attitude, her heart dropped. She was afraid that Nanny Pang would go back and talk nonsense, which would cause her mother to hold a grudge against Sister Jiu.

Jiang Jiuniang just twitched her lips, not intending to tell her that Grandma Pang had not changed her gender, but was threatened by herself.

Not to mention telling her that Grandma Pang was sent to take care of her, so why did she go back midway?

Even if Aunt Pang didn't say anything, how could the maid and servant beside her not know?

As long as Mrs. Peng wanted to investigate, she would naturally know it. She deliberately pretended to be ignorant in the letter, presumably having other plans.

As a mother who could give her daughter a gift, Jiang Jiuniang felt that her motherly love would not be very deep. Likewise, Mrs. Peng's deliberately pretending to be ignorant could not be just for Peng Yuan's benefit.

But the little fool next to him was still smiling so happily. I don't know if he was sincere or showing it forcefully. He probably didn't want to think too badly of his mother.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiuniang said: "Then tell my aunt that everything is fine here, and there won't be any bandits. The city is heavily guarded. If the bandits come, they will never come back."

She pretended to comfort her easily, and Peng Yuan smiled and nodded: "Hey, that's what I told my mother too."

The two of them talked and walked casually on the street.

Now the city's economy is stable, people live and work in peace and contentment, and the streets are very lively, selling all kinds of gadgets. Peng Yuan has taken a fancy to many small toys and said she would buy them back for the baby born in the future.

Jiang Jiuniang also thought these things were very unique and bought a lot of them.

When they were about to go shopping elsewhere, several people suddenly ran towards them. The one at the front was a little beggar. He was chased by the people behind and rushed towards them.

Peng Yuan was frightened and didn't know how to react for a moment. The two sisters, Chun Hua and Chun Cao, were following far behind and couldn't catch up.

Just when Peng Yuan thought that the little beggar was about to hit her, Jiang Jiuniang took two steps forward, directly blocked the little beggar's way, stretched out her hand and lifted him up.

The people behind were cursing and chasing after me. I don't know if they were feeling guilty. They glanced at Jiang Jiuniang and then said to the little beggar: "What kind of little beggar dares to steal my things!"

Seeing that he was being chased, the little beggar hurriedly took the money bag in his hand and threw it to the ground. He said pitifully: "Give it back to you, please spare me!"

Then he said to Jiang Jiuniang who was holding him: "Madam, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."

As he spoke, he twisted uncomfortably.

The person who had been chasing him had taken the money and left, and now he was the only one left, feeling a little scared.

Jiang Jiuniang put the person down, looked at the timid little beggar, and asked: "I am standing outside, and the person who will obviously bump into me is me. Why do I bump into her?"

The little beggar's face froze and he said: "Madam, please forgive me, I was too anxious just now, I didn't think so much..."

"is it?"

Jiang Jiuniang didn't even want to expose him. The traces of his performance were so obvious. Do you really think she was blind?

The few people who came over just looked at her guiltily, obviously knowing her identity. When they finally left, they also glanced at the little beggar. Such blatant eye contact really showed no respect for the audience at all.

But the little beggar didn't know that she had noticed it yet, so he kept nodding his head.

With so many people on the street, Jiang Jiuniang didn't want to embarrass him too much. Seeing his determination, she said, "Then you can apologize to this lady and leave."

The little beggar instantly burst into laughter, apologized to Peng Yuan profusely, and then ran away.

At this time, Chun Hua Chun Cao also came over, and Jiang Jiu Niang simply said: "Follow him and find out the matter."

The two men responded and quickly followed.

Peng Yuan was so frightened that her heart was pounding. She was still holding her chest to calm down. When she saw Jiang Jiuniang asking someone to check, she asked: "Sister Jiuniang, do you suspect that they are here for the child in my belly? "

Jiang Jiuniang nodded: "Absolutely. The intention is too obvious."

Peng Yuan was very scared: "But we haven't offended anyone in this city. Who wants to do this to me? Could it be that they are from Dongting again?"

"It's uncertain. Let's go back and wait for news about spring flowers and spring grass."

Jiang Jiuniang came over to help her walk back, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze.

During this period of time, they lived here. Huizhou City was heavily guarded. No Dongting people could sneak in. Since they were not Dongting people, they were the only ones left.

People are like this. When there is an external enemy, they fight together to defend against it. Once the enemy retreats, internal fighting begins.

But the other party played really dirty, and it was quite despising to attack a pregnant woman.

"Then I'd better not go out during this period. I was really scared to death just now. If you weren't here, Sister Jiu, I would probably..."

Having said this, she patted her chest again and tried to calm down.

Now she finally understood why Sister Jiu had said before that she should wait until after the war to consider having a second child. In this borderland, there were not many people she could trust, but there were many emergencies, which were really dangerous.

After returning, Jiang Jiuniang accompanied Peng Yuan back to her yard. The two of them ordered some food and ate while waiting for Chun Hua and Chun Cao to return.

When they were almost done eating, Chunhua came back and said: "Madam, you are really good at predicting things. Those people are indeed in the same group. It's just that the little beggar was found temporarily. Those people gave him a few copper coins and sent him away. The others Then he secretly returned to the magistrate's office and entered through the back door."

"Prefect's office?"

Peng Yuan's eyes widened: "Why would the prefect want to do something to my child? My child isn't bothering him, right?"

Thinking of the fact that they had dinner with the magistrate's family a few days ago, they were all very warm and amiable people. Why did they stab him in the back like this?
