Chapter 20: Intercept, Success

Ye Yizhen was knocked down and fell heavily to the ground. She screamed in pain and her veil fell to the ground, revealing a pure and beautiful face.

The person who bumped into him was a fair-skinned little boy with red lips and white teeth, about six or seven years old. His clothes were dirty and he wore a purple jade pendant on his chest.

At this time, he looked panicked. He did not stop even after bumping into people, and fled frantically everywhere.

Jiang Wenzhou quickly stepped forward to help Ye Yizhen up, feeling distressed and angry, "Catch this brat."

Several servants came forward and quickly picked up the child. The child struggled desperately, kicking his legs, "You bad guys, let me go, let me go."

His little face turned red and he looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing this, Ye Yizhen gently advised, "Brother Jiang, he's just a child, let him go."

Jiang Wenzhou was furious and glared at the little boy angrily, "No, I must teach him a lesson today..."

He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the child. Ye Yizhen quickly held him back, "Don't do that. It'll scare the child."

Her gentle, beautiful and kind appearance made many onlookers feel good about her.

In the crowd, many officials' wives nodded, saying that she was a beautiful person with a kind heart, and a good person.

Only Yun Zheng, who was squeezed in the crowd, seemed to be lost in thought. Something was wrong, too deliberate.

At this moment, a middle-aged man rushed over and looked nervously at the child in Jiang Wenzhou's arms.

"Sir, my child is still young and ignorant. I apologize to you. Please return the child to me."

Oh, the child’s father came and apologized, and his attitude was very good.

Jiang Wenzhou didn't want to hold on to the child, so he handed the child over.

Unexpectedly, the child who had been struggling desperately just now held Jiang Wenzhou's neck tightly and refused to let go.

"No, I'm not your child. I don't know you."

Just as everyone was surprised, the middle-aged man showed a sad look on his face, "Jun'er, Daddy is not forbidding you to eat wosi candy, it's that you eat too much and it's bad for your teeth. Even if you are angry, you can't deny your biological father."

So that's how it is. Boys of this age even dislike dogs.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, "Jun'er, come home with Dad."

The child was so scared that he tried to hide away, tears streaming down his face. "You are a bad man, a kidnapper. I don't recognize you. You are not my father."

The middle-aged man frowned and forcibly took the child in his arms. "Hey, kid, you're so ignorant. I'm sorry to bother you all."

The child screamed loudly and kicked him, but he was patient and tolerant.

He turned around and walked away holding the child. Everyone made way for him and felt quite sympathetic towards him. This child was so difficult to manage.

The child's eyes are full of fear and despair. Who will save him?

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out. "Wait a minute."

It was Ye Yizhen. She blocked his way righteously, "You said this child is yours. How can you prove it?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "We are biological children, how else can we prove it?"

The little boy's eyes lit up and he cried out for help, "Sister, save me, this is really a kidnapper, he kidnapped me."

The middle-aged man's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't bear to scold him, and the onlookers sighed.

Ye Yizhen stepped forward and said, "He calls me sister, so I will take care of this matter."

"Unless you can prove that this child is your biological child, don't even think about taking the child away."

The child was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. No one around him believed him, but this beautiful sister stood up to help him. At that moment, she was all his hope.

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "His name is Jiang Jun, he's seven years old this year. We are from Ji County. We came to the capital to look for our relatives but failed, so we came to Huangjue Temple to burn incense and pray for safety. The child cried all the way, and I hit him, and he kept crying. Oh, it's all my fault for spoiling him too much."

He looks honest and simple, and his brocade robe is clean, which makes people feel good about him.

In contrast, children's temper is out of control and the noise is a headache for people.

Everyone believed the man's words and criticized him, saying, "This child is too ignorant. He just didn't get spanked enough."

"That's right, don't love him too much. You still have to discipline him when it's time."

The child collapsed and panicked, "No, he's lying. He's a bad guy who kidnaps children. Don't believe him."

The middle-aged man was very sad, with two tears rolling down his eyes. "You, child, hurt my heart so much, ah."

He walked out holding the child in his arms, his steps extremely fast. When he passed by Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng sniffed. Was it the smell of drugs?

No, there's something wrong with this man.

Could it be that this child is the ghost doctor’s grandson?

Her mind raced, and just as she was about to stop him, Ye Yizhen got there first, "Wait a minute."

The middle-aged man was a little impatient, but his tone was gentle, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Yizhen frowned, her eyes flickering back and forth between the middle-aged man and the child.

Just when everyone was confused, Ye Yizhen accused him righteously, "You are not the father of the child, you are a kidnapper."

There was an uproar at the scene.

A mocking arc appeared on Yun Zheng's lips, confirming that this was the scene where Ye Yichen saved someone.

She originally thought that she had rescued the person quietly, but she didn't expect it to be so grand and spectacular under the spotlight of everyone. This... is very consistent with Ye Yichen's character.

This is a play that will enhance Ye Yizhen's reputation and make the ghost doctor and his grandson grateful.

The acting was good, but it’s a pity that I met her!

The middle-aged man got anxious and retorted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of the way."

Ye Yizhen stopped him and refused to let him leave. "You have a Beijing accent, and your child has a southern accent. How do you explain this?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. "I'm usually busy with business. Is it not okay for me to leave my child in my hometown in the south and let my grandparents take care of him?"

Ye Yizhen looked confident and said, "Okay, but the shoes you're wearing give away the truth."

It's normal for everyone to subconsciously look at men's shoes.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the shoes?"

Ye Yizhen pursed her lips. "Although your clothes are bright and fancy, your shoes are the thousand-layer cloth shoes that ordinary people like most, while this child is wearing black leather boots."

"You know, black leather boots are not something that ordinary people can buy. If you don't wear them, is it because you can't afford them? Or is it because you can't buy them? Judging from the way you dress, you don't seem like the kind of person who would put yourself in a difficult position."

She said righteously, "So, you are not father and son at all."

At this moment, she seemed like a living Bodhisattva shrouded in golden light, captivating countless people and praising her.

The man turned pale at the sound and ran away.

Everyone was shocked, "Oh my god, it really is a kidnapper, hurry up and save the child."

Yun Zheng watched this farce, approached calmly, and waited for an opportunity to strike.

Several officials' wives gathered around Ye Yizhen, their faces full of admiration. "You are so smart, righteous, and kind. I wonder which family you are from?"

Ye Yizhen felt proud in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly in a shy smile.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. When I see injustice, I stand up and fight. That's what I should do."

Jiang Wenzhou looked at his beloved woman with pride and winked at his men, who immediately shouted, "This is the eldest young lady of our Pingxi Marquisate."

This is a good opportunity to make Ye Yizhen famous.

Everyone praised her highly, "So she's the young lady of a marquisate, and yet she's so humble. It's really admirable."

Ye Yizhen smiled shyly, "You're too kind, too kind."

On the other side, the kidnappers were beaten by the spectators. Everyone hated these kidnappers the most and they had harmed countless families.

In the midst of chaos, Yun Zheng seized the opportunity, quickly snatched the child away, and ran away.

Hahaha, interception successful! Happy!

Ye Yizhen worked hard for a long time and made a wedding dress for her!

But this is just the first step, she has another trick up her sleeve.

After Ye Yizhen finished entertaining the officials and their wives, she turned around and her face changed drastically. "Where's the child? Why is he gone? Go find him! You must find him! Quick!"

Ahhhh, she's going crazy!
