Why would this policeman help us?
After the bailiffs and Doctor Chen left, they helped Old Madam Yun back to the cowshed. Yun Zhourong was very puzzled.
“It’s all about money,” Yun Mingyuan said. “Didn’t he just say that both of Yun Mingxuan’s crimes can be redeemed with money?”
"So that's how it is. I thought he had changed his ways."
Yun Zhourong nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask, "By the way, Father, where did the three of you go? Why was the mistress left alone at home?"
Thinking of the dangers of today, if she hadn't returned in time, even the Snow Demon might not have been able to save them.
“They asked us to do odd jobs and help clean and tidy the rooms at the post station. We thought our mother was too old, so we didn’t let her go. We never expected something like this to happen.”
Yun Hongcheng said with some self-reproach, "I will not leave Mother's side easily in the future. Now that I think about it, I could have taken her with me, as long as Mother doesn't have to do anything."
"I think it's better that I didn't go. If I had gone, the eggs would probably have been taken away without any explanation."
Madam Yun said with some relief, "I discovered them as soon as they got the eggs. If the cured meat and rice had also been taken, we would have no way to survive."
"Grandmother, Lord Snow Demon really likes the lotus bowl. He said that we can talk to him if we need anything in the future, and we will never lack money or food again."
Yun Zhourong earnestly advised, "So if you encounter this situation again, you must prioritize your own safety. Losing things is fine, but your life is the most important thing, understand?"
"Yes, yes, Grandmother will remember."
Madam Yun patted Yun Zhourong's hand with a beaming smile. Having such a granddaughter was truly her blessing.
If Yun Zhourong knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say that this blessing was earned by Old Madam Yun herself.
If it weren't for Madam Yun's past care, she wouldn't be alive now, and she wouldn't have been able to save Madam Yun.
Because the appointment with the constable was at midnight, Yun Zhourong went to summon Ji Minxiu first, and now it was almost time for the appointment.
Ji Minxiu arrived quickly, this time bringing not only supplies but also a sofa.
Ever since the last time the bed came, he knew he could bring anything.
"Lord Snow Demon, thank you for saving my grandmother!" Yun Zhourong stepped forward and was about to kneel down.
Ji Minxiu quickly helped her up and sat her on the sofa, saying, "Don't kneel down when you see me anymore. In the future, everyone will be equal, and there will be no such thing as kneeling, so I'm not used to it."
"Equal..."
Yun Zhourong was very surprised and blurted out, "Lord Snow Demon, what will the future hold?"
"Well, if you want to know, I can tell you slowly when there's a chance in the future." After saying that, Ji Minxiu asked, "How is your grandmother?"
"Thanks to you, Grandmother is alright now," Yun Zhourong said.
"Do you know the specifics of your grandmother's condition?" Ji Minxiu asked after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, I know. I keep the doctor's prescriptions and medical history with me, just in case." Yun Zhourong quickly took out the items.
Ji Minxiu took a look and found that it used professional Chinese medicine terminology, which he couldn't understand.
He then said, "The fact that your heart stopped means the situation is quite serious. I'll take this medical history back to the doctor so that he can prescribe the right medicine and your grandmother can recover faster."
"Thank you so much, Snow Fairy!"
Yun Zhourong gave a solemn curtsy, and then couldn't help but recount the story of Yun Mingxuan stealing the eggs, "Actually, Grandmother has never been this serious before. It was always Yun Mingxuan who pushed her."
She was indeed very worried about Madam Yun's condition, and Ji Minxiu had thought things through very thoroughly this time.
"This is an absolutely heartless beast!"
After listening, even Ji Minxiu frowned and advised, "Either stay away from this kind of person or find an opportunity to kill him. As for trying to redeem him, forget it. Being soft-hearted will only bring disaster."
"Okay, I've got it."
Yun Zhourong didn't think Ji Minxiu was wrong at all. Yun Mingxuan didn't treat them as family at all, which was really unforgivable.
"Be more wary of the eldest son's family in the future. If there is any emergency, you can contact me anytime."
Ji Minxiu gave another instruction before taking out a brocade box and opening it, saying, "This is a watch I prepared for you. Try it on."
Looking at the exquisite watch that resembled an ornament, Yun Zhourong was completely stunned. "It's so beautiful! How come this watch is so different from this one?"
As she spoke, she quickly took out Ji Minxiu's watch.
“Mine is the men’s style, and yours is the women’s style, so of course there’s a difference.”
Ji Minxiu took the watch back and put it on, then put it on Yun Zhourong's wrist. "Hmm, the size is just right, it fits perfectly."
Yun Zhourong stared at her watch, unable to look away. "It's so beautiful! What are these sparkly little particles?"
Although she had seen many exquisite and gorgeous pieces of jewelry on other noble ladies in the capital, this was definitely the first time she had ever seen anything so unique.
"This is called a diamond, which can be understood as a type of stone," Ji Minxiu explained.
"Besides jade, there are other stones in the world that are so beautiful!"
Yun Zhourong examined it carefully, feeling she couldn't get enough of looking at it, but soon asked in confusion, "But Lady Snow Demon, this watch doesn't have the mule... mule and horse number on it, how am I supposed to tell the time?"
"Oh, the numbers weren't included for aesthetic reasons, but you can still tell the time. The specific method is written in this letter; you can read it at your leisure."
Ji Minxiu handed the letter to Yun Zhourong, then pointed to the other things on the sofa and said, "I've prepared everything you need, but now I have a main task: to teach you how to write with a pen."
"Handwriting?" Yun Zhourong finally looked away from her watch.
"It's this black ballpoint pen that you can use anytime without having to dip it in ink."
Ji Minxiu took out a pen and placed it in Yun Zhourong's hand, then demonstrated to her, "Look, this is how you hold a pen and write."
Seeing that the pen actually flowed ink on its own, Yun Zhourong was astonished. "This pen is truly amazing!"
She drew in her notebook, imitating Ji Minxiu, and was overwhelmed with excitement as she looked at the black characters that appeared.
The words have been written!
It actually wrote words!
Just then, a warm feeling enveloped her from behind, and a familiar fragrance swept past her nose. Her hand holding the pen was suddenly grasped.
Ji Minxiu's face was already close to her ear, and his clear voice rang out, "You're holding this finger wrong, it should be placed like this."
In that instant, Yun Zhourong felt a current surge through her body from her ears, her heart tingling and her mind going blank. She didn't hear what Ji Minxiu was saying at all.
"Have you learned it?" Ji Minxiu looked down at her.
"ah?"
Yun Zhourong's mouth was slightly open, her expression was stunned, and she was completely bewildered.
"What, you still don't understand?" Seeing that she didn't react, Ji Minxiu frowned slightly.
"Ah...you said I was daydreaming...I'm sorry..." Instantly, Yun Zhourong's face turned completely red.
But my heart was screaming incessantly.
Too close!
Snow Fairy, you're getting too close!
