Chapter 259 There is indeed a problem

"He Yun invited us here to look at the Feng Shui." Jiang Yunxi directly stated the purpose of their visit.

"What nonsense is she talking about outside? There is nothing wrong with the feng shui of our house. We don't need you to look at it. Just go away..." The old woman had a stern look on her face, a sharp tone, and a fierce look in her eyes.

Without waiting for them to speak, she closed the yard door.

Zhan Luochen glared at her, his face full of anger, "What kind of attitude is this? It's so rude."

"Didn't that young woman invite you here?" Qian Heng looked at Jiang Yunxi. She also felt that the old woman had a very bad attitude. They had come here from far away.

"It was indeed He Yun who invited me here. Maybe she didn't discuss it with her family. It would be better to wait here for He Yun to come back." Jiang Yunxi said calmly, not angry at the old woman's attitude.

It's not worth it to let such a small thing affect your mood.

"She probably won't be back so soon. Why don't we go around and take a look around? Since we're here now, Dongxi Village is indeed remote, and I don't know if the imperial court will provide any help." Zhan Luochen said.

Fortunately, there are mountains, land and water here, and the people have no problem making a living by farming, but it must be a bit difficult to make a lot of money and live a rich life.

Jiang Yunxi glanced at him and said, "It's rare that you have such a heart and still think about the people."

Zhan Luochen said: "Although I have no ambition for the throne, I am still a prince after all, and I am not a useless person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Of course, I also want to do my part."

"So you opened that inn outside the capital, which not only saves money for the people but also makes money. You can do more of this kind of thing in the future." Jiang Yunxi quite agreed with him doing this kind of thing.

"No problem, I'm happy to do this kind of thing." Zhan Luochen said, patting his chest.

Jiang Yunxi didn't expect that there was a fork in the road here at Yuan's house, and it seemed that they could continue to walk inside. After they walked for a while, the view became wider and they could see acres of fields.

There was a wide river not far away. A young woman was washing clothes with a mallet by the river. It was winter and she was wearing thin clothes. There were two wooden basins of clothes beside her.

Jiang Yunxi frowned and walked over, "Miss..."

The woman washing clothes looked up quickly when she heard the sound. When she saw Jiang Yunxi, her eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again. She pointed to her mouth and waved her hand.

"You can't speak?" Jiang Yunxi understood at once.

The woman nodded.

"Where are your family members? It's so cold, why do you have to wash so many clothes by yourself?" Zhan Luochen frowned. The other person looked to be about twenty years old, very thin, with little flesh on his face, and looked malnourished.

He knew that some people lived a hard life, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

The woman looked at them, then smiled and shook her head to indicate that everything was fine, then squatted down and continued washing clothes.

Jiang Yunxi stared at the other person and asked, "Do you need help?"

The woman's hand holding the mallet stiffened, and she shook her head and continued washing clothes.

Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything else. Seeing a big tree not far away with a wooden bench under it, she walked over and sat down.

"Not leaving?" Zhan Luochen asked.

"Sit for a while before leaving." Jiang Yunxi had a faint smile on his face.

Zhan Luochen quickly found a place to sit down.

Qian Heng looked at the woman washing clothes in the distance and said firmly, "There's something wrong with her."

"There is indeed a problem." Jiang Yunxi's eyes were fixed on the thin back of the woman. She saw clearly the change in her facial expression just now, which made her think of something.

"What's the problem?" Zhan Luochen looked at them in confusion.

Qianheng rolled her eyes at him.

Jiang Yunxi looked at him and said, "You'll know later."

Zhan Luochen: "..."

Can't you just say it directly?

Jiang Yunxi began to find topics to talk about, such as the recent major events in the capital and the affairs of the Minister of War, Lord Sun.

"Have you noticed one thing? Since you returned to the capital, it seems that all kinds of things are happening in the capital, one after another." Zhan Luochen suddenly thought of something.

Jiang Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. "There are always things happening in the capital, but they were suppressed before, or no one cared, or they couldn't be handled. That's why you think nothing is happening."

Zhan Luochen: "..."

That seems to be the case.

"If it weren't for you this time, no one else would know about Pei Lie's affairs." Qian Heng said. When she came to the Liao family's courtyard, she was really surprised and felt that she would be exposed.

"No, it should be him. If he hadn't bought that yard, the woman's body wouldn't have been found, and I wouldn't have paid attention to this matter." Jiang Yunxi pointed at Zhan Luochen.

Zhan Luochen looked at Qian Heng, "How do you know about Pei Lie? Who are you?"

Qianheng: "Your ancestor."

Zhan Luochen: "..."

Jiang Yunxi smiled and continued to talk about the death of Lord Sun, asking Zhan Luochen and Qian Heng to guess who killed Lord Sun and what the other party's purpose was in brutally killing him.

Zhan Luochen and Qian Heng were completely confused. How could they have guessed it?

suddenly.

The woman who was washing clothes stood up suddenly. Just as she was about to take a step, a flash of nervousness crossed her face and she quickly squatted down to continue washing clothes.

Jiang Yunxi naturally noticed this.

Just at this moment.

A woman in her forties came over aggressively, followed by two women of similar age. When they saw Jiang Yunxi and Qian Heng clearly, their eyes lit up.

These two girls are really good-looking.

"Biluo, why are you washing clothes here alone in the middle of winter? You are such a thoughtful child. Look at your red hands from the cold. Stop washing them and let your husband wash them later." Yu quickly walked to the young woman.

Biluo was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, then shook his head and continued washing clothes very quickly.

"Miss, who are you? You look unfamiliar." An walked under the locust tree and looked at Jiang Yunxi with smiling eyes. It would be great if she could be her daughter-in-law.

"We came from far away and took the wrong road. We ended up here unknowingly. Can I have a glass of water?" Jiang Yunxi had an innocent smile on her face.

Zhan Luochen: "..."

Qian Heng: "..."

"Yes, yes, of course. Why don't you come to my house?" An said enthusiastically.

"Biluo, weren't you talking to them before? Why didn't you invite them to your home?" Yu said with a complaining tone, and then walked towards Jiang Yunxi and the others.

"Miss, Biluo is mute and can't speak. Please don't be offended. Why don't you come to my house and have a seat?"

Jiang Yunxi looked at the other person with a smile, "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, Biluo walked towards her quickly, opened his mouth and said "hmm", stretched out his hand and waved at her continuously, with an anxious expression on his face.

Seeing her like this, Yu reached out and pinched her back hard, "Miss, my wife is very frugal and is afraid that you will go to my house to eat."

Jiang Yunxi reached out and held Biluo's hand. The woman's hand was very thin, without much flesh, and it was obvious that she had suffered a lot. She smiled at her, "Don't worry, we can pay."

Biluo kept shaking her head and opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't speak at all.

At this time, Qian Heng and Zhan Luochen both noticed that she had no tongue.
