Chapter 213 Even rotten eggplants have partners?
The silk-clad man is truly finished.
Hearing that someone was using his name to cause trouble and had been caught by Yu Zhiyi, that greedy woman, he actually thought it was one of his relatives.
He questioned the steward and discovered that his rebellious son was not in the manor today. His heart sank immediately, fearing that his son had done something wrong and had been caught by Yu Zhiyi.
He rushed over in a great hurry, only to find a face he didn't recognize.
A little inquiry revealed that this person only knew the head chef in his household, yet dared to use the name of the Duke's mansion to commit evil deeds, bully men and women, and even cause a death!
The Duke of Pingnan was furious and ordered the man to be thrown into prison.
This person has so severely damaged the reputation of the Duke's mansion; it's questionable whether he'll even live to see the day of the trial.
However, these things had nothing to do with Yu Zhiyi; what she cared about was the person behind this person.
The person she was referring to was not the chef, but the person who sent him to stop Yi Luan's charitable work.
However, this matter did not require the constables to take action; she could discern the clues simply by looking at the man's face.
"So that's how it was..."
As Yu Zhiyi was pondering the matter of the person behind the scenes, he heard the displeased voice of the Duke of Pingnan: "Doctor Yu, you are incredibly capable, can't you see that the one who is truly connected with that person is not this Duke?"
The Duke was still preoccupied with the matter of the ten thousand taels of silver, and his words were tinged with sarcasm.
Yu Zhiyi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Excellency, you may not know this, but I cannot use the art of physiognomy at all times. That would not only consume my spiritual power, but also be a huge test of my energy. I only use my ability when necessary."
Duke Pingnan: "...Counselor Yu is indeed...steady."
To say that a young woman is steady is hardly a compliment.
Yu Zhiyi accepted it with a smile: "I also think I'm quite steady, and there's nothing wrong with being steady."
Duke Pingnan looked at him strangely and said, "You look more like an old man than I do."
He shook his head: "I don't know what that brat saw in you that made him want to do business with you."
Mingming runs away faster than a rabbit every time he sees his biological father!
After seeing off the irrelevant people, Yu Zhiyi walked to Li Shi's side, her eyes filled with admiration from Tian Mengda.
When dealing with the silk-wearing man, she had Zhang Xiang go to a nearby clothing store and buy two sets of clothes, one large and one small.
Li's clothes were torn by the man in the silk robe; she could only barely hold onto the hem to keep them from falling apart.
Jiang Xiaohua's clothes weren't torn, but they were too thin.
The wind was howling outside, and Li dared not accept anything of unknown origin. But seeing her daughter's face turning purple from the cold, she could only suppress her unease and accept the clothes.
She remained silent, unable to express her gratitude.
There was no way to ask the questions that were on my mind.
Yu Zhiyi noticed her nervousness and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person. You just heard it too, Yiluan Charity is a charitable enterprise approved by His Majesty, and it is specifically used to help people in need."
Li suddenly looked up.
Can she hear me?
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but all that came out was a series of "woo-woo" sounds.
Moreover, there was no sound in my ears.
Yu Zhiyi added, "I transmitted my voice directly into your heart, which is why you were able to hear me. As for your deafness and muteness, I will find a renowned doctor to treat you."
Li's eyes widened.
A voice that speaks directly to the heart?
This must be a supernatural power that only immortals can possess, right?
Yes!
She is an immortal!
She tore through the darkness and came to the side of these orphans and widows, helping them through their suffering.
Li knelt down, sobbing and kowtowing.
Yu Zhiyi helped the person up: "It's getting late. Hurry up and pack your things to go to Yiluan Charity Bar. They've already prepared rooms for you and your daughter. Before curfew starts, hurry back, wash up, and get a good night's sleep."
Jiang Xiaohua didn't say a word from beginning to end.
She couldn't speak, so even when her mother was being bullied, she could only cry and howl, unable to utter a single word.
She only stopped crying when she saw Yu Zhiyi descend into the cold, dark room like a goddess and defeat the bad guy.
She looked at Yu Zhiyi timidly, her big eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
Noticing her gaze, Yu Zhiyi looked over and saw the little girl snuggle into Li's arms, but her eyes were still looking at her with some longing. She reached out and touched the little girl's head, and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Xiaohua."
Jiang Xiaohua blushed.
Growing up, apart from her mother, no one was willing to get close to her, and no one was willing to smile at her.
Even her mother never smiled; she was always either full of sorrow or silently shedding tears.
It was the first time Jiang Xiaohua realized that people could look so beautiful when they smiled.
The goddess sister was not only beautiful in appearance and had a beautiful smile, but she also gave her new clothes to wear.
The clothes were so warm; they covered her feet completely, gradually warming her numb feet.
After settling matters between the mother and daughter, Yu Zhiyi returned to Yiluan Charity.
Hongluan had already returned. She learned about the recent events from the steward and knew that Yu Zhiyi had gone to deal with them. She first poured Yu Zhiyi a cup of ginger tea to warm her up before asking, "How did it go? Did you find anything?"
She knew that Yu Zhiyi's personal intervention was definitely not just about bringing the mother and daughter over.
Yu Zhiyi sipped her ginger tea and replied, "Someone is deliberately trying to retaliate."
Hongluan was taken aback: "Retaliation? Retaliation against whom? We're doing charity work, not running a shady business. How can this be grounds for retaliation?"
Yu Zhiyi coughed lightly: "They came for me. Yi Luan Charity has suffered an undeserved disaster."
"Ah..." Hongluan frowned: "Is it troublesome?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "It's alright. The other party's skills are not up to par, so they only dare to do things in secret. The only problem is that there is no trace of that person in the city, so there is no way to get rid of him in the short term."
"But don't worry, I already know what that person looks like, and I'll be able to tell as soon as he enters the city."
Not wanting to frighten Hongluan, she didn't mention that the person was an evil cultivator.
That's right, heretical practitioners.
This is the companion of that evil cultivator from last time.
Or a partner.
It's hard to imagine that a guy who's like a rotten eggplant and enjoys torturing women would actually have a female partner.
And judging from the looks of it, the other person has quite deep feelings for him.
However, this matter is not very troublesome.
These past few days she's been strolling around the entire city of Shengjing, setting up arrays all around so that she can sense any evil cultivators entering the city, thus avoiding such a passive situation in the future.
Late at night, in the royal palace.
Consort Yu was awakened by another nightmare.
The sensation of being sentenced to death in her dream was so real that she is now feeling extremely panicked.
Suddenly, her expression changed.
Suddenly, another person appeared in the room.
A woman with a hunched back...
