Chapter 179 Where Did Such a Big Daughter Come From?
Hearing this, Xu Yinan, who was walking ahead, chuckled and glanced back at her.
"It's up to you to take control."
It's all because of these corrupt officials that Suzhou has become so miserable!
Lin Shujing: ...
That second young master of the Xu family has a foul mouth!
Yun Zhao nestled in Xu Yifei's arms and secretly gave her second uncle a thumbs up.
People like Lin Shujing who only know how to complain deserve to be criticized!
Upon arriving at the government office, they found people helping injured civilians out of the building.
Yun Zhao suddenly slapped Xu Yifei's hand.
"Uncle, uncle, quick, let's go inside and find Father!"
Although many people were helping her take care of her father, she always missed him because she hadn't seen him in person.
"Okay, let's go in!"
Xu Yifei carried Yun Zhao and walked up to her in two quick steps.
Luo Qing was startled and hurriedly reached out to pull him away.
But he was no match for Xu Yifei, and Xu Yifei pulled him up several steps.
What are you doing!
"I'm taking my niece to see my brother-in-law, what are you doing following me?"
Xu Yifei scolded him in a low voice.
Luo Qing: ...
So fierce! This is a complete reversal of the natural order! Who's the real official here?
"Uncle Luo Qing, don't worry, we won't run around. Uncle Ding is a very nice person."
He knows my dad, and I want to see him. I'm sure he'll agree!
Yun Zhao spoke obediently, her hands moving non-stop as she quietly pried Luo Qing's fingers apart one by one.
Luo Qing took a deep breath, a little annoyed, and let go of her hand: "Don't cause trouble!"
"knew!"
After saying that, Xu Yifei ran inside without looking back.
There weren't many people in the government office; the officials were too busy to pay any attention to him.
"Uncle, let's go to the back. Uncle Ding is probably discussing something with the others there!"
They were all dealing with the aftermath of the plague, which must have been similar to what happened in Yangguan County.
Xu Yifei is now completely obedient to his niece; if she tells him to go to the backyard, he'll run there.
Sure enough, an official was standing outside the main house in the backyard.
Upon seeing the man in prison uniform carrying a baby, he immediately shouted, "What are you doing!"
"Uncle Ding, Uncle Ding, it's me, Zhaozhao!"
Yun Zhao shouted loudly.
Ding Yan paused for a moment, then quickly came out.
"Be careful, sir!"
The officials immediately blocked Ding Yan's way.
Ding Yan peeked out and discovered that it was Yun Zhao and Xu Yifei.
"Zhaozhao, why are there only the two of you?"
Ding Yan gestured for the officials to step aside and walked up to Yun Zhao.
"Everyone is outside, but I was worried about Father, so I came in first!"
Yun Zhao looked anxious, and Ding Yan quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, your father is injured. Although I can't let him out..."
But a small bed has already been placed there. Your master checked on him; his life has been saved… Come with me.”
As the story progressed, Ding Yan couldn't bear to continue.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Yun Zhao's heart sank.
Following Ding Yan to the prison cell, Yun Zhao felt even more distressed as she listened to the constant coughing inside.
The government office was located on higher ground and was less affected.
But the cell floor was covered in mud, and the lack of ventilation caused a foul stench to permeate the room.
It also had the smell of burnt mugwort mixed in, which was so strong that it was hard to open your eyes.
"Uncle Ding, if we have the documents from the Dali Temple, can we take Father away?"
Yun Zhao asked anxiously.
"That's right. We can carry him out now. Su Cheng's condition isn't good right now. You should get the paperwork done and leave as soon as possible."
Ding Yan also did not want them to stay in Suzhou for too long, lest they contract the disease.
With Pei Jishi here, Yun Zhao believed that the plague in Suzhou would surely pass.
But right now, Yun Zhao's mind is only on his father, and he is single-mindedly craning his neck to see him.
We walked all the way to the last cell, which was the cleanest one.
A simple little bed, with a man lying on it.
The man's profile was extremely handsome, but at this moment his eyes were closed, his face was deathly pale, and he was extremely thin.
"Brother-in-law!"
Xu Yifei exclaimed in surprise.
Yunxuan heard the sound and opened his eyes with difficulty.
In a blur, he saw his brother-in-law holding a baby he didn't recognize.
"hooligan?"
He spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Father! Quick, Uncle Ding, open the door!"
Yun Zhao struggled to climb down from Xu Yifei's arms. Ding Yan had someone open the door, and Yun Zhao darted inside.
"Father, come and have some water!"
Yun Zhao took out a water pouch from the small pocket on his chest and fed it to him little by little.
Looking at the unfamiliar little child in front of him, Yunxuan felt a sense of closeness for some reason.
He took two sips and looked at her with some confusion.
"Whose child are you? Why do you call me father?"
Even if he's been away from the capital for a while, he can't just conjure up a four- or five-year-old child out of thin air!
"Father, it's me, Zhao Zhao. I was switched with Ling Xue Rou from the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion by the midwife during childbirth."
I only switched back two days before leaving the capital; I'm now a disciple of Valley Master Pei of Medicine King Valley.
"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely find a way to heal your injuries!"
Yun Zhao kept talking and fed him a couple more sips of water.
Yunxuan was shocked to hear this. He took two more sips and then realized that the water seemed to have sugar added to it, making it sweet.
He found that his wounds felt much better and he had more strength in his hands.
"Are you Zhaozhao?"
Yunxuan struggled to sit up.
As a father, the first time he saw his daughter, it was in such a disheveled state.
Yunxuan felt extremely ashamed.
Yun Zhao quickly stopped him and threw herself onto his shoulder.
"Father, don't move! Your injuries are very serious!"
Yun Zhao, with red eyes, took his pulse.
His pulse was weak and shallow, even though Pei Jishi treated his wounds in time.
He was so badly injured before, and it took so long to heal.
Ultimately, it damaged the foundation.
Watching his daughter take his pulse with such skill, her eyes, so much like his, filled with tears, Yunxuan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"It's all my fault... How are your mother and brother?"
He could hardly imagine how difficult it must have been for his wife, such a delicate woman, to raise their youngest daughter who had just returned home, along with an infant in swaddling clothes.
"Father, don't worry, Mother and my younger brother are both fine. There are officials watching over them outside the gate."
I was so worried about my father's condition that I had my eldest uncle accompany me inside first!
Yun Zhao wiped away her tears and forced a smile at Yun Xuan.
Father, in this life, I will definitely protect you well!
So what if she gets fifty strokes of the cane? She has a spring in her space that can enhance her physique.
There are so many precious medicinal herbs; they can definitely save Father's life!
Seeing his daughter's forced, strong smile, Yunxuan's heart sank.
None of Xu's brothers-in-law are reliable. His wife and daughter must have suffered a lot along the way!
Yunxuan was heartbroken and, fighting back tears, reached out and tremblingly touched the top of her daughter's head.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhaozhao..."
Yun Zhao felt a lump in his throat and affectionately rubbed his father's palm.
"Zhao Zhao is not suffering. As long as she can be with her parents, Zhao Zhao is happy!"
Such a young child, yet she possesses such spirit; truly worthy of being the daughter of the Prince of Jin!
Everyone present was deeply moved.
Ding Yan had a good impression of Yun Zhao and also respected the Prince of Jin.
Seeing the father and daughter like this, he quickly comforted them.
