Chapter 38 I'm afraid you won't understand

Xiao Jin heard the noise and was about to get off the carriage when he suddenly met Su Ying's slightly cold eyes.

Looking at Lin Zhuyu kneeling on the ground, his brows slightly frowned.

Su Ying stood up with a gloomy face and said to Xiao Jin, "You are my little wife, you should handle it yourself, don't throw everything to me."

Lin Zhuyu seemed to have recognized Su Ying and was about to rush over to hug her thighs, "Princess, please, I really can't live happily anymore..."

"Then go ask Xiao Jin for help, why are you asking me for help?"

Lin Zhuyu knew it very well. Now that Xiao Jin's legs were crippled, he could not be as powerful as Su Ying. Besides, even if she begged Xiao Jin for help, he would definitely not care about her.

"Princess, if you are willing to take me in, I am willing to exchange something important for you."

Su Ying glanced at her and asked, "What is that?"

Lin Zhuyu lowered her voice with a mysterious look on her face and said, "The evidence of my father's collusion with the eldest prince is their correspondence."

Lin Zhuyu was the daughter of a concubine of the Minister of Works. She was originally sent to the palace to be Xiao Jin's concubine at the order of the Queen. Although Xiao Jin had never been to her room, she was nominally his.

Su Ying continued expressionlessly, "Can that letter prove Xiao Jin's innocence and allow us to return to the capital?"

Lin Zhuyu choked, "Maybe, probably not."

"So what am I going to do?"

Lin Zhuyu said anxiously: "What if, what if it is useful? Besides, I don't eat much, and I will definitely not cause trouble to the princess and the prince."

"Where's the letter? Bring it here and have a look." Xiao Jin suddenly said.

When Lin Zhuyu heard that there was a chance, he quickly took out the letter paper hidden on his body.

Xiao Jin unfolded the letter and took a look. The content of the letter was written very obscurely. Others could not see anything unusual at first glance, but Xiao Jin could see the connection between some things.

He put the letter away without changing his expression and looked at Su Ying, "You can keep it for now."

Su Ying sneered, "It's up to you, but I'll be frank with you. If she causes any trouble or hurts my people, I'll crush her head immediately."

Lin Zhuyu covered her head with her hands in fear, "Don't worry, Princess. I will never do anything stupid!"

Su Ying ignored her and found an empty space to sit down.

Jiang helped Cheng Ming, who had already woken up, to kneel down in front of Su Ying, "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life."

Su Ying looked at the two of them, "Awake, is the fever gone?"

Cheng Yang raised his pale face and said, "My fever has subsided when I woke up this morning. I am fine now. It's all thanks to Madam's medicine."

Su Ying nodded without any modesty, "You just had a fever caused by a cold. Fortunately, you took medicine in time, otherwise it would have turned into a lung disease and it would not be so easy to treat. Now that you are awake, just follow me on the road."

"Thank you, ma'am. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do tomorrow." Jiang wiped her tears, still not recovering from the panic of almost losing her son.

"It's good that he's well. He's still weak. Here are the sesame cakes I bought in the city. Take them and eat them." Su Ying took two sesame cakes and handed them to them.

The mother and son were not willing to accept it and refused it repeatedly. Su Ying simply put the cake in their hands and said, "Take it and eat it. If you follow me, I won't let you go hungry."

The two of them then thanked Su Ying profusely and vowed secretly that if they had the chance in the future, they would definitely help Su Ying.

After Li Da and his men replenished their dry food, they distributed today's rations to the remaining prisoners. After they had eaten their fill, they continued on their journey.

Su Ying jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, flicked the whip, and the carriage started moving.

"Every year, the imperial court allocates funds to the Ministry of Works to reinforce the embankment of the Wujiang River. Ten years ago, a severe flood in the Wujiang River flooded Linshui City, but the embankment was not stable."

Xiao Jin's voice sounded behind him.

Su Ying didn't understand the situation in the court, "What does this have to do with us now?"

Xiao Jin said: "The money for strengthening the dam will be allocated at the beginning of the year every year. This year, Xiao Jue happens to be in charge of this matter."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "You mean, the two of them colluded to embezzle the court's money, which led to the problem of the dam."

Xiao Jin nodded, "Although Lin Zhuyu's letter to me was written in an obscure way, this is roughly what it meant. Lin Zhuyu would not hand over all her chips at the beginning, which is why she is under his nose."

Su Ying looked back at him and said, "Are you explaining this to me?"

Xiao Jin leaned against the wall of the car, his dark eyes fell on her, "I'm afraid you can't figure it out."

Su Ying sneered, "I just dislike her for wasting my food."

Xiao Jin raised the corner of his lips, "Yeah."

Su Ying glanced at him and always felt that this bastard was weird.

Zhuzhou is different from Yunshui City. The temperature becomes higher once you enter Zhuzhou's jurisdiction. Traveling under the scorching sun during the day can melt you.

At night, until it was completely dark, Li Da asked people to find a flat open space to stay.

Su Ying jumped off the carriage and went to look for water as soon as possible. However, she couldn't find even a stream along the way.

"I'll go ahead and look for some water."

Li Da has now turned a blind eye to Su Ying's behavior. Even if she wants to run away, he can pretend not to see it. After all, so many people have run away, and she is the only one left.

Su Ying untied the horses from the carriage, jumped on the horses and ran towards the foot of the mountain not far away.

Su Ying rode the horse to the foot of the mountain. After a circle, she found a stream behind a relatively hidden crevice. The stream was not small.

Su Ying dismounted and entered the space after making sure that there was no one around. She took out a water container and filled it with stream water in case of emergency.

After filling the water, Su Yingyou jumped on the horse and returned to the open space.

"There is a water source at the foot of the mountain ahead. Who of you wants to go with me to wash?" Although Su Ying was not a germaphobe, the smell on her body was so pungent that it hurt her eyes.

"I want it, I want it. Mother, mother, Ling'er wants to go wash with you." Erbao was the first to raise his hand.

Su Ying looked at Erbao's cat-like face and thought that this kid really needed a good wash.

"Then Ji'er should go too. I'll take you to wash first, and then come back to take care of the others."

As she spoke, she went straight forward, carried the two babies onto the horse's back, and then she kicked the horse's belly and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

After arriving at the place, Su Ying carried the two people down and tied the horses to the side.

"Come one at a time. Mother will take off your clothes first." Su Ying held Dabao first and took off his clothes. Just when she was about to take off his pants, Dabao's face turned red and his two little hands nervously grabbed Su Ying's hands.

"I, myself, I can do it!"

Su Ying looked at his little face which was so red from holding it in, and thought it was so adorable.

"Okay, then you just be careful. The water here is shallow. Just sit on this big rock and don't move. Mom will wash your sister." Su Ying picked up Ling'er again and took out a towel to wipe her little face.

Just when she was washing seriously, she suddenly heard Dabao's exclamation.
