After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

There were two little hooligans standing at the entrance of the alley, one had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other had a pointed face and monkey cheeks. They were of about the same height, with thin arms and legs. They stood there with their backs hunched, and no one knew how long they had been standing there. There was a pile of peanut shells on the ground.

They hummed obscene songs from the red-light district towards Yuan Ge, and scanned the two girls from head to toe with their eyes, admiring them in amazement, as if they were scanning some merchandise to be sold, and the book judge subconsciously pressed his hands on their waists... The two girls were completely unaware that their lives had just passed through the gates of hell, and they still smiled and teased, "The two girls are so pretty, and you look unfamiliar...Are you from other places?"

Yuan Ge blocked the furious Jianshu with one hand and protected the bag on his chest with the other. He took a half step back as if facing a great enemy and said softly, "My sister and I are here to live with our relatives. My mother told me that I had an arranged marriage with my cousin from a relative's family... My mother passed away a while ago. Before she died, she asked me to live with my cousin, but I had never been to such a big city and I couldn't find anyone for a while..." As he spoke, he lowered his head, looking listless, as if he had suffered a great blow.

The hooligans looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward. Seeing Yuan Ge was about to retreat in fear, he quickly stopped and waved his hands, "Don't worry, don't worry. We are not bad guys. We are just ordinary people who live here. We want to ask your cousin's name. If we happen to know each other, we can take you there."

"Really?" Yuan Ge raised his head suddenly, but before he could even see the joy on his face, he shook his head and sighed, "My mother mentioned it before she died...but I was too young to remember it, and she left in a hurry this time, so she didn't have time to finish her words...I only know that my cousin is a candy man, and he said that he bought a house and land in this big city with the candy man business. If my sister and I can find him, we can live a happy and stable life with him!"

Miss Yuan is very good at whatever role she plays, and since her mothers in both lives passed away early, she really does not feel any psychological pressure at all when making up such an excuse. She even smiles shyly after she finishes speaking, acting like an ignorant, naive and gullible little girl.

The two little hooligans looked at each other. The one with thick eyebrows and big eyes held his chin with his hand and frowned as if in deep thought. After a while, he slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "Oh! The young man who made the sugar man! Look at my brain... What's his name? He was sitting with me drinking tea two days ago, that one, that one..."

"Oh! It's him, it's him! I don't remember his name, I usually call him Brother Tang... Yes, Brother Tang! I know where he lives, two girls, come with us?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab his arm...

Miss Yuan usually doesn't play by the rules, even when fishing, she does it differently from others. Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, she stopped using the bait again. She took a step back and distanced herself from him, tightly protecting the bag in front of her. She scolded him with a vigilant look on her face, "Nonsense! You keep saying that you know your cousin, but you don't even know his name? Besides, in such a big city, how could there be only one person who makes candy? You know who it is when I say candy?"

Jianshu's heart was about to rise as he watched from the side. Was the young lady... so absorbed in her acting that she forgot the ultimate purpose? But she was not good at acting. At this moment, it was already good enough for her to stand aside and not reveal the truth. How could she have the energy to smooth things over without leaving any trace?

The two men didn't expect that the girl who looked so easy to deceive would suddenly become smart. They surrounded her with a "Yohoo" sound, grinning with yellow teeth and rubbing their hands, laughing maliciously, "The girl is smarter than I thought... Yes, we really don't know any cousin who is a sugar maker. Besides, what can a sugar maker do? You two sisters are following your brothers, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, isn't it more comfortable than following that stinky sugar maker?"

The little girl looked frightened. She clutched the bag in her arms and backed away in fear. But the alley was narrow, where could she go? After taking a few steps back, her back hit the hard wall. She subconsciously looked back and looked like she was about to cry. She protected her "sister" behind her and begged, "No, no... Brothers, please, let us go! I, I have money, money for me..."

She suddenly pushed the bag in her arms forward, closed her eyes, tilted her head and shouted, "Brother, I, I'll give you money!"

Book Review: This... the knife-slashing thing, I really can't be scared, and it's really hard to act like it! She shrank back as hard as she could, imitating Yuan Ge's appearance and closing her eyes to hide behind her...

"Money?" The little gangster laughed cheerfully. "Of course we want the money, and we also want the people... Let's go, little girl, follow us back... Woo!"

"Who are you——"

A muffled groan was heard, followed by footsteps, and the slightly restrained voice of a young man, "Girl...are you okay, girl?"

Yuan Ge, who had his eyes tightly shut, slowly opened one eyelid, blinked, and then opened the other. The two men were gone, replaced by a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat that covered his face and carried a bamboo basket on his back, dressed like a farmer. Yuan Ge carefully tightened the "lost and found" bag, looked at the man from head to toe, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it you... who drove them away?"

The other person seemed more reserved than she was. He rubbed the seam of his clothes and explained, "Yes...they are well-known hooligans in this area. They are not doing their jobs and are notorious for petty theft. I'm afraid they had bad intentions today because they saw that the two girls were from outside. Now I've chased them away. I wonder if the girls have a place to stay. Otherwise, I'll give you a ride - ah, don't get me wrong, I'm a farmer who lives outside the city. I come here every now and then to sell my own crops. I'm married, and my wife and daughter are in harmony and love. I'm not a bad person."

After saying that, he scratched the back of his head again, but only touched the edge of his hat, and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

He really looks very honest.

Yuan Ge sniffed quietly and smiled shyly, "My little girl, my little girl didn't mean that... You saved us, so we should be grateful. How can we doubt you? It's just that my sister and I are new here. To be honest, we have been short of money for a long time. There are only a few old clothes in this bag. There is no money for us to stay. We just cheated those two people."

The other person smelled of spices, as if he had been marinated.

Liu Mazi.

Miss Yuan lowered her eyebrows and chuckled, her long eyelashes covering the meaningful look in her eyes... What a scene of a hero saving a beauty.

The "sister" behind her nodded vigorously to prove her existence and to prove that what the "sister" said was true, "Yeah!"

Like a silly girl.
