If given to an ordinary family, one hundred taels of silver would be enough for several years of expenses, but Yu Zihe is no longer the same person she used to be. She should have increased her income and reduced her expenditure and made good plans for the future.
Unfortunately, her ambitions were high as the sky, but her life was fragile. As soon as she took the silver and left the capital, she was cheated.
The one who deceived her was a handsome scholar who was better looking than her two previous husbands and had a clever tongue. He coaxed Yu Zihe, who was pregnant at the time, by saying that he would definitely marry her in the future and would treat her child as his own.
Yu Zihe had two husbands and two lovers, but none of them was as handsome as this scholar, and none of them loved her so deeply. How could she wait for him to become the top scholar in the future?
She immediately gave the scholar her only one hundred taels of silver and asked him to buy things in preparation for the wedding.
The scholar took the silver and said straight away that he would marry no one else in this life. He also said that with a wife like her, what more could a husband ask for? He was almost moved to tears of gratitude.
Who knew that she would wait and there would be no news, and even after the child was born, the scholar still did not come back.
Only then did Yu Zihe realize that she had been deceived.
But her ambition was high as the sky, and her life was thin as paper, so how could she bend down to do those heavy jobs? So she found a lover, named Xie San.
Speaking of Xie San, he doesn't look very good, but he is a minor official of the ninth rank. Recently, he is in charge of the river excavation project in the suburbs of Beijing and is a foreman.
Su Xiujie interrogated Yu Zihe for a long time but didn't get anything out of him. Instead, he felt creeped out by her enchanting eyes.
Yuan Feng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, wanted to torture Zi He, but Su Xiujie softened his heart when he thought of the young children in this woman's family.
"I heard that you were buying anti-diarrhea medicine. I happen to know some medical skills. You can take these medicines back and use them!" Not only did Su Xiujie not torture her, he also gave her some medicine.
Yu Zihe also thought that she was very charming and that the men before were blind. This time she might be able to get married again.
By marrying the imperial envoy, she can truly live a life without worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
What's more, this imperial envoy was a prince, and he was more handsome than any man she had ever seen, even more handsome than her pale-faced scholar, Kong Congwen.
But she had one more thing to do. She had to break off her relationship with Xie San first. Otherwise, if the imperial envoy found out about her dark history, the duck in her mouth would fly away.
After Yu Zihe expressed her gratitude profusely, she quietly dropped a handkerchief used for mandarin ducks playing in the water before leaving.
Su Xiujie looked at the handkerchief and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
In fact, even if there was no handkerchief, he would go to look for... uh no... he would also send someone to look for Yu Zihe.
Everyone said that there was no man in Yu Zihe's family. In fact, it was because she always sneaked away to the river dredging site. Xie San was the foreman and had his own room. She put the child on the table and did whatever she wanted with Xie San.
But this time, Yu Zihe did not give up the child.
It was not only because she wanted to break up with Xie San, but also because Xie San had been suffering from diarrhea for many days and could not even get out of bed, let alone do anything.
"Oh...oh...are you here to buy medicine for me?" When Xie San saw her, his dry face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
Originally, Yu Zihe didn't dislike him so much, but ever since she felt that Su Xiujie had feelings for her, Yu Zihe started to feel disgusted with Xie San.
"Here! This is the medicine I bought for you. It's so expensive, and I've spent all my money!" She suppressed her nausea and put the medicine on the table.
Xie San hummed: "Make it for me, two sets."
Yu Zihe really wanted to throw the medicine on his dry face, but before she could get close to Su Xiujie, she had to make some money for herself, so she endured the nausea and went to boil the medicine.
As soon as the medicine was ready, Xie San asked her to send a bowl to the people next door.
Before she could put down the medicine, the Jinyiwei blocked the door.
The person in this room is the owner of the gunpowder shop they have followed all the way.
This guy was really lucky. He ran away with diarrhea all the way. If it were someone else, they would have died long ago. But he actually escaped from Ping County to the outskirts of Beijing and took refuge with his nephew Xie San.
Su Xiujie finally realized that anyone with persistent diarrhea must be related to the gunpowder incident, so he arrested all those who had diarrhea for several days.
The noise was so loud that it startled everyone.
Including Chu Youyang.
Chu Youyang got up in the middle of the night and saw Su Xiujie's face from a distance. He thought he was dreaming.
He has been doing hard labor here for three months! It was autumn when he left, and now it is deep winter!
Chu Youyang rubbed his eyes and saw that it was indeed Su Xiujie standing in the distance, and grinned.
He is His Royal Highness Prince Jin now, so he doesn't need to be called "idiot" anymore!
He ran towards Su Xiujie, shouting as he ran: "King Zun Yi! Zun Yi..."
Before he could finish shouting, he was pinned to the ground by two men in brocade clothes.
"Even after investigating to this extent, they still dare to assassinate him. How dare they do that!"
Chu Youyang wanted to cry, but now was not the time. Su Xiujie also thought it was an assassination attempt and was walking away in a hurry.
"I'm not an assassin... I'm Prince Jin... I'm Chu Youyang... Prince Zun Yi! Su Xiujie! Don't leave!"
Su Xiujie was traumatized by the assassination attempt and had no time to listen to these things. He ran away long ago.
Su Xiujie was still in shock as he ran back to the carriage, his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his throat.
When Yuanfeng came to lift the carriage curtain, Su Xiujie's first reaction was to hide under the seat with his head in his hands. He had been assassinated many times before, and the Jinyiwei specially found a craftsman to modify the carriage. There was a door made of an iron plate under the seat, which could not be cut through by swords and knives, and could not be opened from the outside after entering.
Yuan Feng was speechless, "Prince? Prince!"
How could Su Xiujie dare to say anything? He was scared to death.
"Your Highness, the man just now didn't seem to be an assassin. He said he was His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Would you like to go and take a look?" Yuanfeng said again.
Su Xiujie still didn't say anything. It wasn't because he was aloof, it was mainly because he was too scared and covered his ears.
Yuanfeng had no choice but to go over and knock on the chair.
Su Xiujie was so scared inside that he trembled, thinking someone was chopping the chairs.
"Your Highness! The people outside... please go and take a look..."
He was inside and only heard these two sentences.
Let him take a look, it should have been settled, but...
He pushed the iron door open a crack and asked tremblingly, "How many did you capture?"
"Just one person, he said..." Yuan Feng was about to repeat himself, but Su Xiujie closed the door again, "Just handle it as you see fit!"
It's not that he's arrogant, but he was a little too frightened just now, and now his pants are wet...
Yuan Feng was confused. The Jinyiwei was newly formed and no one had ever seen Prince Jin. How would he handle it? How would he handle it?
Take it back and show it to the emperor.
So when Chu Youyang appeared in front of Chu Younan, he was wearing ragged clothes, his hair was all tangled up, and there was mud and dirt on his face, looking like a beggar...
