Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

The rice fragrance of porridge wafted in the air, and Ruan Siyi suddenly became hungry.

How long has he not eaten?

It has been a day before I fell asleep, and I don't know how many days I have slept now.

Qiao Shi fed him spoonful by spoonful, and he choked on eating anxiously. Qiao quickly put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and patted his back to comfort him.

Seeing her touching him, Ruan Siyi wanted to break away, but held back.

After reassuring him, Mrs. Qiao fed him again. Ruan Siyi ate silently without saying anything.

"My concubine went to the kitchen to look at it. There was only white rice at home, so I cooked porridge. I felt wronged. But it doesn't matter. I asked Chuntao to take the jewelry to the pawn shop. After the money is exchanged, the family can have better food." Qiao Shi babbled with lowered eyebrows, turning a blind eye to Ruan Siyi's complicated expression.

After eating, Ruan Siyi said the first thing he said when he woke up, "Go out, I want to sleep for a while."

Ruan Siyi slept for several days straight, and every meal was brought in by Qiao Shi for him.

On the fifth day, Ruan Siyi finally stepped out of the room and walked into the yard. The oncoming sunlight was a bit dazzling, so he couldn't help but block it with his hands.

It took him a while before he could see the situation around him clearly.

Mrs. Qiao was sitting there picking vegetables and leaves, Mother Chen was doing laundry, and Chuntao was drawing water from the well.

Ruan Siyi had never seen Mrs. Qiao who was sitting on a small tavern choosing dishes, and maybe he had never looked at Mrs. Qiao seriously before. This was the first time he took the initiative to see Mrs. Qiao.

A woman he hated so much in the past, Qiao Shi who was sitting there in a silk shirt doing rough work.

Suddenly there was a violent knock on the door, and Mother Xu put down the clothes in her hand, wiped her hands and opened the door.

"Who are you?"

"Get out of the way, old lady, let's find Ruan Siyi, Fourth Master Ruan!"

Following the voice, several big men rushed in.

Qiao Shi was startled and hid behind Ruan Siyi.

"Fourth Master Ruan, when will the money owed to our gambling house be paid back? This day has come!"

Ruan Siyi was taken aback for a moment, and only then remembered that he was depressed a few days ago, so he went to the usual gambling house to gamble a few times. In the end, he lost his eyes and asked the gambling shop owner to borrow money.

"Husband, did you borrow money from the gambling house?"

A small voice came from behind.

Ruan Siyi blushed.

He gambled, but not many times, and never borrowed money, only that time...

"How much did my husband borrow from you?" The woman behind came out and asked.

"It's not too much, it's only 1,500 taels of silver."

"So much?" Joe asked in surprise.

Ruan Siyi was stunned, "I obviously only borrowed one thousand taels."

The big man in the lead smiled, "Fourth Master Ruan, don't forget that this is a profit. If you exceed it for so many days, it will naturally be 1,500 taels."

"You are simply bullies!"

"Fourth Master Ruan, don't say that. We're just common people eating and drinking. We can't compare with you. You are the famous Fourth Master Ruan, the son of the Marquis of Jinyang."

"you--"

Mrs. Qiao said, "Come back in two days. We don't have so much money in our hands now, and we will pay you back when we have enough money."

"Madam, you are not deceiving us, are you?" The big man looked suspicious.

"Does my wife need to deceive you? This house alone costs more than 1,500 taels!"

"Well, let's come back in three days, and don't let our brothers go home empty-handed."

"OK."

The group of big men turned around and left. One of them spat on the ground as he walked, "Return Fourth Master Ruan! Let a woman speak out, even I am worse!"

Ruan Siyi's blood rushed to his head immediately, he gave Qiao a fierce look, and walked into the room with his sleeves swung.

No matter how angry you are, you still have to eat.
