Chapter 22 Selling Myself to Bury My Father



Gu Zhenting frowned, and suddenly remembered that the road leading to the cold palace, at the end, there was not only the cold palace, but also other...

Gu Zhenting stood up suddenly and narrowed his eyes.

It better not be what he thought. If it is, then he will not be able to treat this brother well anymore.

Gu Zhenting thought for a moment and said, "Let King Wensheng come in."

"yes"

The next morning, before dawn, Ye Xinran heard Yin's crying.

She turned over irritably and wanted to continue sleeping.

But the crying was endless and gave me a headache. Just as I was about to get up, I was patted by a warm big hand. I could hear the man's deep and pleasant voice in my ears.

"Go to sleep. I'm here."

Ye Xinran felt relieved and fell asleep again. She didn't hear any sound anymore. She slept until the sun was high in the sky. Then she woke up slowly.

After opening my eyes and waking up for a while, I found that there were many people in the room, but they were all walking very quietly and didn't dare to make any noise.

She was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask. She got up and washed up. When she asked, she found out that it was already Si time, which was past ten o'clock. The exile usually started at eight o'clock. She didn't know why she was late today.

Gu Yanming told her that Jihua had sent news that Ye Liang and his wife had already set off, and asked her not to worry.

Ye Xinran nodded in thanks.

Everyone ate the steamed bread distributed by the soldiers. Ye Xinran was worried about Gu Yanming's health, so she gave him a scallion pancake and two eggs, which made the people around him jealous.

"Yanming is a lucky boy!" The old prince sighed. He also wanted to eat scallion pancakes and eggs.

The old princess glanced at him and said nothing. Her daughter-in-law was good to her son, and she liked her daughter-in-law sincerely. As for a bite of food, she would not fight with her son. She also believed that as long as her daughter-in-law had extra, she would definitely give it to them.

When the others saw the prince, they also behaved themselves. They had only been on the road for a few days and still had some money, so they endured it and did not cause any trouble.

Marquis Yiyong was timid to begin with, and when he saw that Gu Yanming was fine, he became scared. He even held Old Madam Jiang back, and he didn't dare let her go to find the old princess again.

Fang Sihuan knew that Gu Yanming had woken up, but because the wound on her face had not healed yet, she did not want to leave a bad impression on Gu Yanming, so she did not go over.

Gu Yanlin has been a little depressed recently because of a breakup, but he did not take the initiative to look for Fang Sihuan.

Ye Xinran thought that this was good. If he continued to be Fang Sihuan's lapdog, he would definitely end up with nothing.

Ma originally wanted to act up, but was scared away by Gu Yanming's eyes.

Yin hadn't made any movement. We didn't know who she had met, what she had taken, or what she was going to do. We could only observe secretly.

Everything is packed up and we are on the road again.

After going out, Ye Xinran discovered that Dong Yishu walked a little strangely.

Gu Yanxin hurried over and explained to her in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know what happened to Mr. Dong. He almost missed a step when he went to the toilet this morning. He sprained his ankle, so he left an hour later today."

Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that this was not that simple? It wasn't the first time that Dong Yishu went to the toilet. How could he almost miss a step?

But she didn't care about that, at least she had a good sleep.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know how fierce my brother is in the morning. If anyone makes a loud noise, he will stare at them with his murderous eyes until they shut up!"

Ye Xinran still didn't understand what was going on. Jianshu came over and whispered with a smile.

"That's because we're afraid that everyone will disturb the princess's rest!"

Ye Xinran blinked, thinking she had heard it wrong! She turned around and looked at the man behind her.

I found that Gu Yanming was actually a little, um, shy...

Ye Xinran suddenly felt that this man with a cold appearance was, well, quite cute.

When they were almost at the city gate, Ye Xinran saw Ye Liang and his wife's carriage parked on the side of the road.

She was still wondering what was going on when she heard the girl crying.

"Wow, auntie, please have pity on me! Buy me!"

There was another young boy's voice, also choking with sobs.

"We'll sell ourselves to bury our father! Please have mercy on us! Otherwise, my father's body will be thrown into the wilderness and fed to the dogs!"

Ye Xinran looked over when she heard the sound. She saw Ji Hua, who was wearing a white dress, hugging Lin's legs, crying breathlessly, with snot and tears streaming down his face, and Qiang Qi, who was hugging Ye Liang's legs and sobbing non-stop.

There was indeed a middle-aged man lying on the ground, pale and motionless.

"I eat little and work a lot! And I get paid half for free!" the boy cried.

"I don't eat much, and I can make the bed, fold the quilt, wash clothes and cook. I'm selling it for free!" The girl's snot bubbles were almost rubbing against Lin's clothes.

Ye Xinran was listening to their words and almost tripped over a stone, but was quickly caught by Gu Yanming.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ye Xinran's mouth twitched as she pointed at the two stupid secret guards.

"They are selling themselves to bury their father so early in the morning, and they are not afraid of bad luck!"

Gu Yanming's face was not looking good either, because he found that the "father" lying there was the leader of the secret guards, Xu Sheng!

Jihua and Qiangqi were unaware that their exaggerated acting skills had already shocked their master. They were still performing hard.

"Yes, although there are two of us, it only costs the price of one person! It's a good deal!" The boy continued to cry.

"My father doesn't want a good coffin, just an ordinary one will do!"

"Yes, my father doesn't need a cemetery either, we can just send him directly to the charity cemetery!"

The person lying on the ground had a black head!

Suddenly I felt that it was too hasty to think that I would let these two children take care of me in my old age...
