The change came too quickly. Before Wan Xueying finished changing her clothes, Aunt Chen, who was waiting outside the kitchen, told her happily: "Xueying, you don't have to worry about changing clothes. The Yulin Guards have already withdrawn."
"Okay, I got it." She changed her clothes very calmly and even had time to put the food she had received in the space back to its original place one by one.
She had just used her mental power to sense that the Yulin Guards surrounding the area were gradually withdrawing. Although she didn't know the specific reason, it was a good thing that she didn't have to go to the Dali Temple prison.
When she came out of the kitchen and saw Shen Yu's personal servant named Shunzi standing in the yard, she knew that today's good guy card had to be given to Shen Yu.
"Greetings, Miss Wan'er." After she approached, Shunzi was the first to greet her.
"Don't be so polite! Why are you here?" she asked.
"I'm here to deliver your new household registration to you on the orders of the Second Young Master." As he spoke, Shunzi handed the household registration that he had shown to General Sun before to her with both hands.
Wan Xueying took it and saw that only her name and that of Aunt Chen were on the household registration. She knew that her divorce documents with Shen Yu had been reported to the government. What was touching was that they also helped her and Aunt Chen to establish a female household.
This meant that from now on, she and Concubine Chen had completely severed their ties with the Dingyang Marquis's mansion. It also meant that they not only had to bear their own taxes, but also those of their servants. This was often met with money. This also explains why General Sun withdrew so abruptly.
"What's going on?" she asked again.
"When the Imperial Guards went to arrest him, the Second Young Master specifically told me to do it immediately." Shunzi chuckled, "The Second Young Master really guessed it. When I went there, the people at the Jingmen Yamen didn't know the Second Young Master had been arrested. Not only did they not give me any trouble, they also handled it very quickly." He added with a hint of pride, "Thanks to the Second Young Master's foresight, he had me send you the new household registration as soon as I got it, so you were able to avoid imprisonment."
"How is your second young master now?" She wanted to express her gratitude to Shen Yu in person.
"I don't know yet." Shunzi put away his smugness and shook his head with a worried look on his face. "I've been busy with your household registration and haven't had time to inquire."
"Then after you find out, tell me whatever news you have."
"I understand." He was thinking: This Miss Wan Er still has some conscience. It's worth it that his second young master has been running around for her and her family's affairs these days.
"If you have a way, please arrange for me to meet your second young master." Wan Xueying once again transferred two hundred taels of silver notes from the space, and pretended to take it out of her arms and hand it to Shunzi.
"Take this first," she said, "come to me if it's not enough." Although the Duke of Ping's Mansion was there and might not appreciate or need her money, this was the only thing she could do for Shen Yu at the moment.
"Then take the small one first." Shunzi took it with both hands, "If you don't need it, I'll return it to you." Just based on this, Shunzi's impression of Wan Xueying became a little better.
After he left, considering that Shen Yu might be beaten to death, Wan Xueying hurriedly asked someone to buy some medicinal herbs and personally made hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder and ointment to remove dead tissue and promote tissue regeneration.
In order to increase the efficacy of the powder and ointment, she also deliberately added a few drops of juice squeezed from the leaves of the tree of life during the production process, which contains a lot of vitality.
You have to know that the Tree of Life in this space is only about one meter tall, and the branches and leaves are not lush. Every time she picks a leaf, she feels heartbroken. If it weren't for the growing favor she owes Shen Yu, she wouldn't be so generous.
The efficiency of the Duke Ping's Mansion was extremely high. Early the next morning, Shunzi came to find Wan Xueying and said that everything had been arranged at the Dali Temple prison and she could go to see Shen Yu at any time.
Despite working late into the night the previous day, Wan Xueying decided to leave immediately. After receiving a pleading look from Aunt Chen, she asked Shunzi, "Can I take Aunt Lian with me? She wants to see... my biological father and mother."
Shunzi thought for a moment and replied, "Once we get to the Dali Temple prison, it should be no problem to give some more money to the jailer and the guards."
"Okay, let's do it. By the way, I want to bring some food to your second young master. I wonder what your young master likes to eat?"
"Uh..." Shunzi really didn't know what Shen Yu liked to eat the most. Because the Duke's Mansion had a wide variety of food, he would often eat whatever the kitchen prepared.
"That means I'm not picky about food." Wan Xueying came up with an answer in her mind.
"Yeah." Shunzi nodded, "That should be the case."
"Then I'll prepare some food for him." It's better than coming home empty-handed. "I'll ask your young master what he wants to eat and bring it to him next time."
"Okay." Shunzi didn't stop him.
Even though the Duke's Mansion had sent someone to bring the young master food, he thought he would be very happy to receive food from the second daughter of the Wan family. After all, in all these years, he had never seen his young master so devoted to a woman. So devoted that those who didn't know the inside story would think his young master was pursuing the girl he liked. Little did they know, he had been helping the woman he had divorced.
In contrast to Wan Xueying, who was completely oblivious to the visitor's preferences, Aunt Chen was absolutely certain that Wan Chengji would enjoy all the food prepared by Madam Wu. If she wasn't worried about the lack of time, she would have asked Madam Wu to prepare a feast for him.
But even if there is still time, we still have to ask Wan Xueying whether she agrees?
Just as Aunt Chen was thinking of bringing some cakes for Wan Chengji, Wan Xueying took them away first, saying that she was going to bring them to Shen Yu.
Aunt Chen set her sights on the meat buns she'd made that morning. But before she'd even glanced at them, Wan Xueying had gotten there first. Furthermore, Wan Xueying also snatched up the two remaining steamed buns from last night.
When she looked at Wan Xueying with a wronged look, Wan Xueying finally compromised and put the two steamed buns back. She said reluctantly, "Okay, you can take these two. Or," she casually asked, "Would you like some of the pickled vegetables left over from this morning?" Steamed buns and pickled vegetables are a perfect match! Of course, a little porridge would make it even more perfect.
Aunt Chen frowned and said, "Just two steamed buns are definitely not enough for so many people. Besides, wouldn't it look awkward to bring steamed buns and pickles to visit the prison?" She was afraid that if she gave them to Wan Chengji, he would be angry and embarrassed.
Wan Xueying curled her lips and asked, "Then what do you want to give them?" She didn't want to give it yet.
Aunt Chen's eyes lit up, and she had a good idea. She said excitedly, "How about I buy them some roast chicken and good wine when we pass by the market?" She knew that the Bo family had hurt Wan Xueying deeply, and she didn't want to embarrass her.
"Forget the roast chicken and good wine."
"Why?" Aunt Chen was puzzled.
"Do you think the roast chicken you buy will end up in their mouths? Didn't Shen Yu say that they were crowded in a cell with many other people?" She spoke righteously, but in fact she didn't want to let those people get away with it.
"Then what should we buy?" Aunt Chen was at a loss.
"Just buy some whole grains and dry food."
"Is it really a good idea to buy whole grains?" "That's even worse than steamed buns. I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing."
"It's good enough to have something to eat. Why be so picky? Besides, our money didn't come from the wind."
