Chapter 4 Hard Pancake

The second wife, Mrs. Ding, looked at Li Jia with a pleading look.

"Sir, my son has a high fever. Please be lenient and send someone to buy some medicine. Any amount of money will do!"

Mrs. Ding looked at Li Jia with tears on her face. Her son's fever was getting worse and worse. She was really afraid that he couldn't hold on.

"Madam, it's not that I am cruel, but the court has its own rules. No one can leave the team at will. I hope you can forgive me."

Li Jia still looked helpless. He glanced at Duan Jingyun again, wishing he would die now. The prince would definitely be very happy if he knew about it.

"Sir..." The Second Lady wanted to say something else but was stopped by Old Lady Duan.

"Second brother, please don't make things difficult for the master." Old Madam Duan glanced at Li Jia.

Even if the second brother's wife kowtowed to him, she would not buy the medicine for Jingyun. He wished Jingyun would die sooner.

In that case, there is no need to waste any more words with them.

"Mother." Mrs. Ding looked at Old Madam Duan aggrievedly and kept wiping her tears.

If anything happened to Jingyun, how could she be worthy of the dead marquis? Seeing her second daughter-in-law crying so sadly, Old Lady Duan frowned even more tightly.

"Go back and keep an eye on Jingyun."

The emperor doesn't want the Duan family to live, so it depends on whether God has eyes. If God has eyes, he will save Jingyun's life.

Although there are four grandsons now, Jingyun is the only one who can truly support the family. If something happens to Jingyun, I'm afraid their Duan family will be completely finished.

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Mrs. Ding came back wiping her tears.

Seeing his mother crying, Duan Jingyun forced himself to sit up.

"Don't worry, mother. I can still hold on."

"Okay." Ding nodded with sobs.

But she also knew that her son was trying to comfort her. But there was no other way now, so she could only endure it.

“…” Qin Ran.

She stretched her neck to look forward. Duan Jingyun's face did not look good. I hope he is not dead.

I hope I can hold on until I can buy the medicine. Just as I was thinking about this, a man with triangular eyes greeted me.

"Everyone come here to get dry food. If you want white steamed buns, five are available for one tael of silver. A water bag is available for one tael of silver."

“…” Qin Ran.

It's really shady! Although I don't know the specific prices here, buying five steamed buns for one tael of silver is definitely a huge profit.

The others thought so too. After hearing Ma Liu's words, they looked at each other.

They all stood up and walked over, but no one bought the white steamed buns. They all took the free black buns.

No one was stupid and knew that the road was still long. With the money they had on them, they could not afford to eat white steamed buns every meal.

However, there are quite a few people who buy water bags. After all, water is necessary, and after drinking it, the water bags can be reused.

Qin Ran looked at the black cakes in their hands and knew they were not tasty, so she had no intention of taking them.

But seeing that everyone else was there, if she didn't go, she would easily arouse suspicion.

No matter whether you want to eat it or not, just take it back first. If you don’t like it, just throw it away. He stood up by supporting himself on the ground and walked over slowly.

Looking at the beautiful Qin Ran, Ma Liu smiled flatteringly.

“How can the Fourth Young Master’s wife eat this kind of cake? How about buying two white flour buns?” He shook the white flour buns in his hand at Qin Ran.

He couldn't bear to take his eyes off Qin Ran's face. How did this woman look? Her skin was so tender that you could pinch water out of it.

Even her little hands are tender, and her body must be so slippery. It would be nice if I could taste it.

He looked up inadvertently and saw Duan Jingyun's cold eyes staring at him, and he immediately retracted his obscene gaze.

He is obviously going to die, but his eyes are still so captivating. Let's just wait until he dies.

Not only this woman, but even the women in the entire Zhenguo Marquis Mansion were free to do as he pleased.

“…” Qin Ran frowned. Following Ma Liu’s gaze, she looked at Duan Jingyun, who was staring at them fiercely. No wonder this grandson became obedient all of a sudden.

He picked up a black pancake, glared at him again, then turned and walked back.

It seems that Duan Jingyun's life must be saved. If he dies, the first person to suffer will be himself.

Although she has money and space, it is not enough to protect herself here. She has to hold on to Duan Jingyun, her golden thigh.

After all, he is the father of the baby in the belly. For this reason, he can at least leave himself a way out.

In order to ease the tension, he stopped when passing by Duan Jingyun.

Just when he was about to say hello to him, Duan Jingyun gave him a cold look and turned his head away.

“…” Qin Ran.

She's quite arrogant and doesn't talk to people, but it's true, considering what the original owner did, it's good enough that she's still alive.

I guess she was relying on the baby in her belly, otherwise she would have been killed by him long ago.

Forget it, since it's so annoying, I won't bother with him.

He returned to his seat, sat down slowly, and watched them all nibble on the black biscuits in their hands.

It feels like it's delicious. I put it in front of me and smelled it, and it has a strong flour aroma.

He opened his mouth and took a bite, then immediately frowned.

"Emma!"

It's too hard, like a stone egg. When I touched my gums, it actually caused bleeding.

He was so angry that he was about to throw his hand away, but then he noticed that everyone was staring at him, so he retracted his hand.

I blocked their view with an oil-paper umbrella and threw the black cake into the space. It was so hard that I had no idea how they ate it.

Not afraid of opening his throat, he took out another small piece of bread from the space, and it had to be this one of ours.

It tastes soft and good. Although I am not full, I won’t eat it anymore.

I will eat it when I return to my previous life’s home in the evening. I must make two more dishes to nourish myself well.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard my grandmother's voice coming from the front.

"Mom, I don't want to eat this. It's too hard." Three-year-old Duan Miao pouted and looked at the black cake in her hand.

Her eldest cousin and his friends all had delicious pastries, and she wanted to have some too.

"Miaomiao, be good. If you feel hard, eat slowly." Sun looked at her little daughter in her arms with heartache.

The money my parents sent was not much to begin with, so how could I afford white flour steamed buns?

"Sister, our family doesn't have much money, so we have to spend it frugally." Five-year-old Duan Ze looked at his sister like an adult.

Mother said they didn’t have much money and had to spend it frugally. If they spent it all, they wouldn’t be able to make a living in the future.

After hearing what her brother said, the little girl, although unhappy in her heart, still pouted her lips and started to take small bites.

“…” Qin Ran.

What two wonderful children!
The two children were the son and daughter of the third son Duan Jingfei. They were the two youngest children in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion and also the nephew and niece of Duan Jingyun.

The book says that the two children are very sensible and likable, and it seems that it is true.

He is so sensible at such a young age, he is really likable.

Duan Jingyun looked at his niece and nephew with heartache.

"..."

I have to suffer with them at such a young age, and I don’t know if I will ever be free.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a familiar bird call and quickly turned to look at Duan Jingfei.

"Third brother, help me go to the toilet."
