Chapter 16: Finding the Son
“I know.” Yu Hanyan smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. “Sister! I am the ninth princess of Southern Xinjiang. Remember, my name is Yu Hanyan. If you really go to Southern Xinjiang, you must come to the capital to find me.”
"Okay! I'll remember it!"
Yu Hanyan looked very innocent at first glance. In fact, even if she hadn't been told, I had guessed about 80% of her identity. I just didn't expect that she was a princess.
"Dalang! It's time to eat!"
Yao Meixian's voice was heard outside calling Du Wanwan. Du Wanwan stood up and hugged Yu Hanyan as a farewell.
"Sister! I have to go now. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. From now on, we will follow the people in Huojia Village. You should take good care of your baby and take good care of your nephew. We should not meet unless necessary, for fear of arousing suspicion. After all, I am dressed as a man."
Yu Hanyan nodded without saying anything, tears streaming down her eyes as she watched Du Wanwan nimbly jump off the carriage and leave.
"Miss! It's time for us to have dinner." Mrs. Qian asked Xiaolu to bring in the food and waited on Yu Hanyan. "Miss Du is a very knowledgeable person. We should just do as she says."
Picking up the rice bowl, Yu Hanyan ate slowly and sighed helplessly: "Sister is very kind to me, and every word she says is for my consideration. It's rare that we hit it off right away, but it's a pity that she is in such a bad state. Sister saved us mother and son, but she can't even take out the medical fee."
Mrs. Qian picked up a piece of food for Yu Hanyan with her chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of her: "Ms. Du is a person who is not bound by rules. She can understand your difficulties. When we find an opportunity in the future, we can repay you in the same way."
Yu Hanyan didn't say anything else and continued to eat slowly, which was completely different from the way she had eaten the poached eggs in big mouthfuls before.
At that time, in order to save her strength, she naturally didn't care about anything else. Now that the child was born safely, she didn't need to be anxious and naturally returned to her usual behavior.
That was the upbringing that was engraved in her bones and could not be thrown away even if she wanted to. Duan Zhengqing once compared her with the singer Liu Chunchun.
He said: "You are a princess who is high above everyone else, but you haven't learned any of the joys of the boudoir. How can you compare to Chunchun, who covers her lips with a smile, looks back, laughs loudly, sweats profusely, and is full of charm in every move."
The reason why she left Southern Xinjiang and traveled around was because her heart was badly hurt. She was a princess, not a singer, how could she compare with Liu Chunchun?
My sister is right, men are all mean-spirited. They become complacent when you praise them a little, but only when you step on them do they know what pain is and what is good.
Thinking of Du Wanwan's words, Yu Hanyan's eyebrows slowly relaxed, and the past sorrow instantly dissipated. Duan Zhengqing didn't like princesses, but liked singing girls, so he could only match a singing girl.
Not worthy of her, the precious Ninth Princess.
Once you think things through, your worries disappear instantly. After finishing her meal, Yu Hanyan lay down, closed her eyes, and slept soundly. Seeing this, Mrs. Qian was overjoyed.
The princess has really let it go, which is great. I have to thank Miss Du very much. But I am short of money and don’t have anything good to give as a gift.
When Du Wanwan returned to her place, Yao Meixian had already prepared a meal, which was still millet porridge and wild vegetable cakes. After walking all day, she was indeed hungry, so this time she didn't show off and ate it all.
Du Jiang was relieved when he saw this. If his daughter still couldn't eat, he would be worried to death. On the road of fleeing famine, there were only two meals a day. Even a strong man couldn't stand pushing the cart and still not being full.
Seeing how delicious she was eating that night, he took out the vegetable cake from his pocket and handed it to her: "Da Lang! Are you not full? Dad has another cake here. You gave it to me this morning. Eat it!"
Du Wanwan shook her head: "No, I'm full, you eat by yourself."
Yao Meixian looked at the man, then at her daughter, took it, and placed it in front of Du Wanwan: "Dalang! You must be tired from pushing the cart, so eat more."
Du Wanwan divided the wild vegetable pancake into three and gave them to her three younger brothers: "Come, come, eat."
Du Wenjun wanted to refuse, but she held his hand and said, "Just eat it if I give it to you. Why are you being polite?"
When Du Wenguan and Du Wenhuo saw their second brother eating, they didn't hesitate. They were all at the age of growing up, so it was normal for them to eat a lot.
Du Jiang said nothing and looked at the four children lovingly.
The daughter always loves her three younger brothers, and the younger brothers also love her. He and his wife are both rural villagers. They don't seek wealth and honor, but only hope that their family will be safe, healthy and happy.
After dinner, Du Wanwan lay down in her clothes beside the car. Seventh sister and Aunt Hua had left early to spy on the military intelligence of the northern troops.
Coincidentally, Ye Tingxiao and Ye Yier, who were far away in Gujia Village, also left their homes and, relying on the mountains for cover, were also trying to find out the situation of the Qizi Army.
They walked and searched all the way, but did not see any large groups of thieves. They saw two groups of seven or eight people, but they were all killed by the three of them.
Ye Tingxiao felt that after his injuries healed, even his internal strength increased a lot. He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Could it be that Miss Du gave me a panacea that not only cures diseases but also enhances one's internal strength?
If someone else said this, he would think that person was a fool, a madman, and ignorant. But when it happened to him and he experienced it, he felt that everything was possible.
Miss Du's medicine is really like a panacea. Not only can it heal injuries, but it can also restore a person's internal strength.
In fact, this is all thanks to Yaya. The water she gave to Yeting Xiaohua to make pills is all precious spiritual spring water.
The man was seriously injured, and fearing that his master's medical skills would be ruined, he took the initiative to dissolve the pills in spiritual spring water and put them into a small glass bottle.
Ye Tingxiao drank so much spiritual spring water, so his body would naturally react.
He didn't understand the trick, and was determined that Du Wanwan's medicine had a miraculous effect. His internal strength increased, and he could kill the enemy easily.
Ye Yi and Ye Er often murmured behind his back, saying that his injury this time was a blessing in disguise. Ye Tingxiao did not explain and felt that they were right.
He really had a blessing in disguise.
After agreeing on a time to return, Seventh Sister and Aunt Hua flew away in two opposite directions.
The seventh sister was more clever. She asked everyone she met along the way about the situation of the Qiezi Army. The little magpie asked her, "Are the Qiezi Army humans riding horses? I haven't seen them."
The little sparrow said, "I see a lot of them, on the other side of the mountain."
The little oriole said, "I saw them too. There are many of them over the mountain."
The seventh sister asked them to take her there, and after flying quite far, she really saw many people riding horses. She didn't know if it was a horse, so she could only ask the horses being ridden.
"Excuse me, are you from the Qizi Army?"
The seventh sister stood on the head of an old horse, chirping.
Lao Ma said: "We are not the Qizi army. We are going to fight the Qizi army to the death."
The seventh sister was relieved and flew away. Old Ma looked at the crow in confusion: "Why did it leave? I haven't told you yet that we are the Ye Family Army."
