Chapter 217 That old man from the Ling family!
Yun Zhao didn't stay long, only reminding his master to be careful of the Ling family, before leaving soon after.
As Xian Pingyan watched her departing figure, he turned to look at his master, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Master, weren't you going to introduce Junior Sister to her uncles and the others? Why didn't you ask them to stay?"
"Your senior uncle can introduce her anytime, but your junior sister is currently in exile."
"We can't let her stay in an awkward position just because we're meeting your martial uncle. Any news about the matter I asked you about last time?"
Xian Pingyan felt that his master was right, so he didn't pay attention to Yun Zhao's matter.
He simply replied, "There's been no reply yet; perhaps my uncle will bring it over."
On the other side, Yun Zhao, carrying the box, returned to the government office excitedly.
"Mother, Mother!"
Xu Qingyi was breastfeeding Yun Huaijin when she heard her anxious voice and quickly told Zhixia to leave.
"Quick, check on Zhaozhao, what's wrong!"
Before Zhixia could even leave the house, Yunzhao rushed in.
"Mother, Master got me some specially prepared medicine. There's hope for Father's leg!"
She sat down directly next to Xu Qingyi, opened the medicine box, and looked up at her excitedly.
"really?"
Not only Xu Qingyi, but also Zhi Xia and the others were very excited.
"My master left me medical records before, saying that there was a volume in it that explained how to treat disabilities."
As long as I use this medicine to improve my father's blood circulation, I can study hard.
There's hope that Daddy's leg can be cured! But Master also said...
This is a long process, but as long as we don't give up, we can definitely do it!
Yun Zhao was very confident.
"It's okay, it's better than no hope at all. We won't give up, we'll definitely make it!"
Xu Qingyi was so excited that she didn't know whether to stand or sit, and the baby in her arms also started babbling.
"Our little Jin is very happy too, isn't she? Let's go tell Daddy the good news together!"
The family was overjoyed. Yun Zhao quietly came to Wei Jingchen's side and waved to him.
Seeing her somewhat sly look, Wei Jingchen chuckled and squatted down.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Zhao put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "I just went to the cell to get information out of them. I told them that Uncle Ding was dead, and the Ling family's eyes lit up with excitement!"
Wei Jingchen was somewhat taken aback, not expecting that she went out to secretly try to extract information.
"Furthermore, I think the Ling family either doesn't know that the Qi family is behind it all."
Either they don't care about the Qi family at all—I told them the whole city was under martial law, and they weren't worried at all.
They were still hoping that the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Jiangnan would release them upon his return!
Yun Zhao's words shattered their original assumptions.
"So, was this information useful?"
Yun Zhao raised an eyebrow at him, her face full of anticipation for praise.
Wei Jingchen chuckled and affectionately ruffled the little tuft of hair on her head.
"Yes, Zhao Zhao is really smart; she even knew to try and get information from the Ling family!"
When Yun Zhao told Xu Zhenbang and the others the news, she was still puffing out her chest.
Xu Zhenbang happily picked her up.
"Our Zhaozhao is so clever! That old man from the Ling family thinks he's so great, but he didn't even realize he was being tricked into saying something!"
"Ahem... Father, how could you say such things in front of Zhaozhao?"
Xu Yinan looked at his father with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Hey, Zhao Zhao, don't learn to joke around with a bunch of guys in the army!"
Xu Zhenbang also felt that his granddaughter was so cute and gentle, she shouldn't learn such vulgar language!
At this moment, Luo Qing led his men to the outside of the courtyard.
"It's time to set off!"
They only gave us one hour to pack and have breakfast, nothing more.
Fortunately, there were many of them, and they helped Mu Yangxing and Cuizhu onto the oxcart.
Xu Yifei was just about to lift his brother-in-law Yunxuan up when Xu Yiyan quickly called out, "Big brother, wait!"
Everyone instinctively turned around and saw Xu Yiyan sitting on a stool, with Lu Li pushing him over, and Lu Xinnian following beside him.
Yun Zhao had never seen this thing before. He ran over and circled the chair.
"Uncle, what is this? It's amazing! This chair can actually move!" he asked in surprise.
"This is similar to a tool called a 'Suyu,' which I've only ever seen in books before."
It was all thanks to Miss Lu's extensive knowledge and experience that she was able to modify this simple wheelchair.
My brother-in-law got injured and won't be able to walk easily for a while. This will make it easier for him to go out!
After saying that, Xu Yiyan stood up with Xu Yinan's help and hopped a few steps away.
"Big brother, quickly put your brother-in-law up here to try!"
Yunxuan was, after all, a prince, and he always needed to be carried around whenever he went out.
He didn't say it, but in fact, he felt extremely embarrassed every time this happened.
"Wow! Third Uncle and Sister Lu are amazing! Daddy, come and try it!"
Xu Yifei quickly took his brother-in-law into his arms.
Xu Yiyan was thoughtful and even put a soft cushion on the chair so that he wouldn't be too uncomfortable sitting there.
Yunxuan knew that he was being considerate of his own reputation and was sincerely grateful to him.
"Ayan, thank you so much, and Miss Lu too, thank you so much."
His brother-in-law was his role model, and this was the first time he had been praised by his brother-in-law like this. Xu Yiyan blushed instantly.
"It's what I should do! And it's all thanks to Miss Lu!"
Lu Xinnian quickly explained, "No, no, no, I only gave some suggestions on some details."
Overall, it was the Third Young Master's suggestion and the credit that counted!
"If it weren't for Miss Lu, I wouldn't have been able to do it!"
The two of them passed the credit to each other, with Yun Zhao holding one of their hands.
"My third uncle and Sister Lu are both wonderful!"
Master Zhao Yunshui gave each person a large pill.
"These are newly concocted pills that can promote wound healing. Why don't you try them?"
Whether it was a reward or a trial drug, the two did not refuse and swallowed the water sacs.
"Hehe, let's go then!"
Yun Zhao climbed onto the tiger's back and followed beside Yun Xuan.
Xu Yifei then pushed Yunxuan and they left the government office together.
Ding Yan personally saw him off.
Upon reaching the city gate, the group, dressed in prison clothes and accompanied by Ding Yan, quickly attracted the attention of the people.
"That looks like the Prince of Jin?"
"Are they about to set off for Lingnan?"
The people stood up and instinctively stepped forward to greet them.
An elderly man, supported by his family, stepped forward and asked tremblingly, "Is Your Highness leaving Suzhou?"
Yunxuan assumed he was worried about Sucheng being left unattended, so he reassured him, "Don't worry, old man, Lord Ding is here in Sucheng."
The imperial court will also send new imperial envoys to provide disaster relief, and I believe Suzhou will soon regain its former prosperity!
The old man threw away his cane and knelt down before him.
"This humble subject kneels in gratitude to Your Highness Prince Jin, and hopes Your Highness will take care of yourself!"
The people behind him knelt down, repeating the old man's words.
Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Please rise, everyone."
"I, Yun, have now been demoted to a commoner, this is truly unbearable!"
The old man bowed repeatedly, his aged voice tinged with sorrow.
"The Prince has twice come to Jiangnan to repair the dikes, and he has always personally taken charge of the work."
The Jiangnan region has been spared from floods for the past ten years, all thanks to His Highness Prince Jin.
"Your Highness has been wronged today. I am but a humble subject with little power to help you. I only wish Your Highness good health and well-being!"
Yunxuan's heart skipped a beat, and his hand resting on the chair trembled slightly.
The gatekeeper was a local from Suzhou. Upon seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and helped the old man up.
"Master Mo, please don't do this. It will put the Prince in a very difficult position!"
This old man was actually a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, which explained his articulate speech and the great respect he commanded from others.
Scholar Mo shook his head, unwilling to get up, and neither did the people behind him.
Seeing this, Yunxuan could no longer hold back.
