Chapter 62 Chapter 62
Chapter 62
When Su Xian was a child, Wanlong Kingdom was not peaceful.
At that time, most of Su's Dim Sum restaurants were closed, and both families lived in their hometown.
There is no need to say much about how the Dafang family is doing.
My father was not at home at the time as he was away at war, so the second branch of the family was often bullied.
Su Xian is the type of person who speaks less and less, but he is very smart and rarely suffers any loss.
Madam Su had only been married for a few years at that time. The new bride was unaware of the schemes between the sisters-in-law and had suffered a lot.
She and Su Xian grew up little by little.
"Mom later thought, if I had been stronger, would I have been able to protect your brother and not be so quiet?" Madam Su said with regret, but she was actually smiling. "But now, your brother is doing well. Although he doesn't talk much, he says everything he needs to say. The things that happened in his childhood are actually a kind of tempering for him."
This is not a lie.
Childhood experiences shaped the Su Xian of today.
He himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with the current situation.
Dad was not at home because he was defending the country, so Mom tried very hard to protect him.
When his parents are around, he tries his best to give him the best.
Even when my younger sister was born, I didn't favor one over the other and was very good to them all.
So Su Xian always felt that he was very happy and lucky in his current family.
He worked hard to pass the examination to become a scholar, and even now he is preparing for the provincial examination, all because he wants to make his family live a better life.
Madam Su looked at her daughter in her arms and said softly, "Yinyin is also very good, even better than your brother. Your brother was naughty when he was young, but I have always been very well behaved and never caused any trouble for you."
"Even when I was a kid, I never cried or made a fuss when my mom was in trouble."
Madam Su's tone was full of love and affection: "I told your father that maybe it was because we didn't do well that you behaved so well, but after thinking about it, I realized that this might be your personality, just like your brother's silence, it's your temper."
Speaking of this, Su Yinyin felt a little guilty.
She didn't even dare to hug her mother, so she had to lower her head and said nothing, but her mother hugged her and comforted her softly: "No matter what Yinyin thinks or does, she is the daughter of mother and father. No matter what her personality or hobbies are, father and mother will like her."
"Because you are our baby."
Su Yinyin looked up at her mother, her eyes moist. Madam Su continued, "Don't take many things to heart. Everything will pass. The most important thing is that you have to be happy. Life is so short, don't you think?"
"But I just realized today how much pressure you've been under recently."
"It's okay, baby. Mommy is always by your side."
During the evening conversation, Madam Su did not give an answer.
She just told Yin Yin that no matter who you are, your parents love you and like you, and you will always be your parents' baby.
It's okay to be happy, it's okay to have secrets, no matter what kind of person she is, she is good.
As for Li Ruiyuan, Madam Su calmed down and said with a smile: "He is a good child, but he is cunning."
Then Madam Su thought to herself, fortunately her daughter is quite thoughtful.
No one can control what happens in the future.
As long as my daughter is happy, don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Your family loves you for who you are.
After Su Yinyin woke up, she just felt lazy all over.
She was awkward and she knew it.
She doesn't like to confide in others, and she knows it.
These should be disadvantages.
But it seemed like everyone told her that it didn’t matter, whatever she did would be fine.
Her parents, her brother, and even Li Ruiyuan, they have been telling her with words and actions that it’s okay, it’s all her fault.
"I'm lucky." Su Yinyin said seriously.
If others travel through time, they may lament that life is not as convenient as before, and they cannot stand the food, drink and daily necessities.
But she really feels very lucky.
After getting up, there was nothing to do for a while.
Both stores at home are temporarily closed for a break, and my parents and brother are not at home. Yesterday, my mother said she wanted to go to burn incense with my father?
Su Yinyin rolled over several times on the bed.
Finally I thought of the most troublesome thing in my life.
Li Ruiyuan.
I really have to pay back what I owe him.
He was basically the one who handled the Meng family's affairs.
Oh, it’s so difficult.
Otherwise don't even think about paying it back.
Anyway, too much debt is not a burden.
Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Dongjun shouted outside the door: "Yinyin! Su Yinyin! Boss! Help me!"
Sun Dongjun's screams were so heartbreaking that she was so scared that she hurried out.
Jun Ge, who usually only loves to play around, was sweating profusely. He hurriedly said, "Yin Yin, is your father here? Is he in the military division? And Yuan Rui, what is the status of Yuan Rui's family? Can you help?"
"There is also Jin Yanlei, and Sister Zhang whom you know, and Brother Li's family. Oh, and the princess. No, something happened to the princess' family too."
Seeing that his words were incoherent, Su Yinyin forced him to calm down: "Brother Jun, calm down. What's wrong? Why are you looking for them?"
"My master, Master Du, her family is involved in the silver mine case, and it seems that they will be exiled. She is a girl, and if she is exiled, she will definitely be doomed." Sun Dongjun burst into tears, "If I study hard and have a good reputation, I will definitely be able to save her."
"Yinyin, your family knows a lot of people, can you help and find someone to ask her how she is doing now?"
Miss Du?
Su Yinyin had a deep impression of her and was a close friend of Princess Yuqing.
Thinking about what Sun Dongjun just said, she came back to her senses: "Did something happen to the princess's family? The silver mine case? The one in Yunnan?"
Sun Dongjun nodded.
The inspection team sent by the court in April and May to investigate the case has returned. Among the more than 20 officials, eight died and the rest escaped death.
But I got what I deserved.
The silver mines in the border areas of Dianzhou were repeatedly concealed, which was a collusion with Princess Yuqing and other royal relatives.
It may even be related to the abdication of the crown prince.
If it weren't for this money, the palace coup that year probably wouldn't have happened at all.
In short, it is a matter of great importance.
If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of people will be imprisoned in September and October.
This is the case with the Du family. Her family has always been following Princess Yuqing's family in their work, so they must be involved.
If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that he will be exiled.
Anyway, no matter which one it is, it is not a good ending for women.
Sun Dongjun went to the horse farm to practice today and saw the police at the door. They almost arrested him.
Fortunately, he knew that he had nothing to do with the matter, and advised him: "In any case, stay away from them. The followers of the deposed prince must be investigated one by one."
These have little to do with ordinary people.
Normally, Sun Dongjun wouldn’t care, after all, it really had nothing to do with him.
But now I can't help but worry about Master Du.
Su Yinyin sorted out the causes and consequences and thought that this matter might be difficult.
If it involves the deposed crown prince, then it is related to treason.
Besides, the emperor and empress’s favor for Li Ruiyuan will definitely be investigated to the end.
After all, if Li Ruiyuan hadn't come out of his psychological trauma, he would have been terminally ill by now.
No parent would let the murderer off easily.
Of course, Miss Du definitely played an insignificant role in it, as she was not even born at that time.
Su Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find Li Zhuangyuan first. He is engaged to Princess Yuqing, so he must know more."
Su Yinyin vaguely felt that Li Xing might have been prepared for it.
Even Princess Yuqing's family should not be deeply involved, otherwise the emperor would not have tolerated them for so many years.
Miss Du's family is even more of a marginal figure, and they might just be affected by this storm.
Things that happened nearly fifteen years ago were dug up.
There must be other purposes.
Su Yinyin quickly explained to Sun Dongjun, but he didn't understand at all.
What conflicts of interest, what is marginal and what is not.
He only knew that Master Du was probably locked up. When he read the storybooks, he knew what exile was like, and it was really too painful.
No, I can't let my master cry like this.
Su Yinyin was silent for a moment, looked at her younger brother lovingly, and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
Okay, he understood this.
"Boss, I listen to you. You have always been smart." Sun Dongjun finally said one thing right.
Su Yinyin took him to find Li Xing.
Li Xing was sitting firmly on his side, and the facts were pretty much the same as Su Yinyin had guessed.
Both Princess Yuqing's family and the Du family were implicated in the old case. They were also confused back then and were not the masterminds.
But there is one bad thing. They have been dissatisfied with the new policy in recent years, so they took advantage of this incident to demote those who should be demoted and punish those who should be punished. Everything must make way for the new policy.
Using this as an excuse to re-inspect mineral resources in various places, etc.
Su Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief, while Sun Dongjun was still asking, "Can we rescue them? I think we can, since they are not deeply involved."
Li Xing nodded: "Yuqing and I will get married in September, and I will leave Beijing for my new post next year."
"I will ask Miss Du, the one you mentioned."
As the top scorer in this year's exam, Li Xing does have some connections.
Sun Dongjun thanked him profusely and took out a few silver bills from his pocket, asking Li Zhuangyuan to accept them and help him to establish connections.
Although she knew that the Sun family sauce shop now had nearly ten branches, Su Yinyin was still shocked to see Brother Jun directly take out several hundred taels of silver.
Sun Dongjun said embarrassedly: "Don't tell anyone about stealing my mother's money, or I will definitely get beaten."
Thinking of Boss Sun's character, Su Yinyin felt that he would inevitably be beaten.
Li Xing had no choice but to stuff the banknote back: "I'm just trying to get information, I don't need the money for the time being."
"No, no, no, what if I don't have it when I need it." Sun Dongjun was very serious, "Please."
At this time, the Du family was guarded by soldiers and no one could enter or leave.
Everyone in the Du family cried non-stop, and everyone knew that a disaster was about to happen.
The matter of the silver mine is easy to explain, as he did embezzle some silver, but it really has nothing to do with the dethronement of the crown prince back then.
But their biggest mistake is that they do not support the new policy.
Mr. Du knew that he had chosen the wrong side and had accepted his fate.
The most important thing now is to preserve their strength so that life will be better after exile. After five or ten years, their family can come back again.
But not everyone can be saved, and not everyone is useful.
The young men in the front yard had lost their parents and had basically no ability to think.
The women in the backyard were in the same situation. How could such a thing happen out of the blue?
Miss Du stood at the back and no one paid attention to her.
She was born to a concubine and her mother died of illness a few years ago, so she has always been considered a transparent person.
If she wasn't on good terms with Princess Yuqing, no one would care about her.
The mistress looked at her at this time and said, "Did the princess's family know about this a long time ago? You were so close to the princess, why didn't you tell her in advance?!"
The Du family is in chaos both inside and outside.
The court was in good order.
This matter has been planned for a long time and now it has finally come to fruition.
When they got to Su Yinyin and the others, they heard Sun Dongjun crying.
She felt a little annoyed after hearing that.
Su Xian also said helplessly: "Really, I'm already waiting for the results. As long as the results come out, I will know how to save the people. As long as they are not the main culprit, they should be able to be rescued."
"And exile is indeed very hard, but they are a family on the road, they all take care of each other, and they are sent to the frontier to let them live there, and they will not fight and kill."
In short, life can definitely be saved.
Sun Dongjun was relieved after hearing this, and finally asked: "What about Yuan Rui? I always think he is the best."
"It looks stupid, but it turns out he's not that stupid." Su Xian silently complained, "I'm going to go out for a while, Jun brother, don't be too anxious."
Su Yinyin said: "He should be very busy."
He seemed fine yesterday, but today we closed the net on him.
"Then when you see him, be sure to ask him for help."
After Sun Dongjun finished speaking, Su Yinyin asked curiously, "Just ask him to help?"
Wouldn't you feel embarrassed?
Don’t you feel the need for reward?
Sun Dongjun patted his chest and said, "We have known each other since childhood, right? Why is he asking for something in return? He is not that stingy, right?"
This sentence made Su Yinyin a little confused.
Don't you need to think about these things?
Compared to them, Sun Dongjun seems to be too optimistic and cheerful.
As he spoke, Sun Dongjun started crying again.
I hope nothing happens to his Master Du, otherwise he will cry his heart out.
Naturally, Su Yinyin would not forget this matter. When she saw Li Ruiyuan two days later, she asked the Du family about it immediately.
"The Du family has a good relationship with Princess Yuqing's family." Su Yinyin emphasized.
Li Ruiyuan knew that they knew each other, but he didn't expect that Sun Dongjun also worshipped him as his master. After thinking for a while, he said, "The files are all in the East Palace. The Du family should have made a preliminary decision on how to deal with them. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Files, East Palace.
Su Yinyin is almost used to it.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Li Ruiyuan deliberately said, "Sun Dongjun is your younger brother, so what's wrong with him helping you?"
Then he pointed to the carriage outside and said, "No one will know you've been there."
Thinking of how Sun Dongjun had been crying all the time, and how he had to give the money after being caught stealing the banknotes and being beaten, Su Yinyin gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go and take a look?"
The East Palace is located in a corner of the Imperial Palace. She had never visited it when it became a tourist attraction in her previous life, let alone now.
But this time when she went back, the East Palace was not important. She really wanted to know what Miss Du’s current situation was.
Li Ruiyuan also said: "Let's go and have a look. If this matter is handled quickly, there will be a conclusion before the end of the year."
Guo Zhan also interrupted: "Miss Yinyin, I'll ask someone to ask around. Everything is convenient in the East Palace."
When Su Yinyin came to her senses, she was already sitting in the carriage.
Fortunately, I told Sister Lan before I left: "If my brother comes, just say that Yuan Rui and I went out for something related to Brother Jun's matter and will be back soon."
After what happened last time, Su Yinyin and An Guilan have a very good relationship. Because of her injury, the two of them are obviously much closer.
An Guilan nodded and said, "Okay, do you really want to go?"
Although she didn't understand the situation, she always felt that there was something wrong with the way the boy looked at Yin Yin. He looked very gentle, yet possessive?
Not only that, when the other person looks at others, he doesn't even have any expression.
An Guilan is good at observing people's words and expressions, and always feels that they are a little scary.
"Go ahead and find out something." Su Yinyin didn't notice that much.
In fact, after knowing Li Ruiyuan's identity, I was not used to it at first, but now I am almost used to it.
It was as if he was just as much a part of his life as before.
The prince's carriage did not need to be inspected at all when entering the palace, and this was even more true for the East Palace.
The two men went straight to the main hall. The servants in the hall were surprised to see that His Highness brought back a woman, but they looked normal.
When there was no one around, he asked, "Is this Miss Su?"
"Of course she is. Manager Guo has instructed us to take good care of her and make her feel at home."
Su Yinyin looked at the file next to her but did not flip through it. Instead, she looked at Li Ruiyuan.
Li Ruiyuan said, "Look for it."
This is inappropriate, Su Yinyin's expression revealed this idea.
But Li Ruiyuan pretended not to understand and just said, "It's all here, take a look."
It is not easy for Su Yinyin to directly look through other people's things.
There is a feeling of invading someone else's territory.
But since I'm here, why come if I don't want to see it?
Li Ruiyuan pulled her to sit down and watched her flipping through the pages.
Su Yinyin made up her mind.
Why can't we learn from Sun Dongjun? He has the nerve to ask for help, so I have the nerve to do the same as a helper.
Having made up his mind, he began to flip through the files faster.
Finally found the Du family.
It was pretty much as I had guessed. After being exiled 800 miles away, the final place wasn't particularly barren and was still livable.
Su Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Du should be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Zhan came running over in a hurry.
Guo Zhan bowed first, then said, "The servants of the Du family have been sent to the Jiaofang Division, and several illegitimate sons and daughters of the family have also been sent in."
Su Yinyin was shocked.
Sure? !
Guo Zhan said: "It cost a lot to exile them. We should have saved the most important people, and we didn't plan to take others with us."
Therefore, treat anyone who you think will hold you back as a slave and don't hold them back no matter where you go.
Miss Du is fifteen years old this year. They probably felt that she would be a burden on the road, and coupled with the things going on in the inner house, they sent her to the Jiaofangsi.
But for a fifteen-year-old girl, being sent to a place like that would make her life worse than being exiled.
"Can you redeem her?" Su Yinyin looked at Li Ruiyuan.
Li Ruiyuan gave her his personal seal: "Of course."
Are you giving too fast?
Su Yinyin thought about the last time he helped Sister Yufeng, he used his private seal to write a letter.
Now instead of writing a letter, why not give it to her directly?
I know that Li Ruiyuan did it on purpose, but at this moment, it is the best choice.
Su Yinyin took the private seal in her hand without much hesitation, and suddenly felt that the seal looked familiar.
When she looked carefully, she found that she had the same one.
Most seals of this size are very similar.
Only the butterfly pattern on the side is different.
And that same seal was given to her by Li Ruiyuan a few years ago, saying that he wanted her to play with it.
The difference between the two chapters is the names below.
Everything else is exactly the same, including the material and the butterfly on the side.
Now she has stuffed it into a box and hasn't taken it out for a long time.
Li Ruiyuan obviously knew this, and said to her seriously: "You still have to take it out and use it more often, otherwise the seal will not be useful anymore."
Su Yinyin opened her mouth and quickly returned the seal: "Let Jun go and redeem the person himself, I don't care."
"Brother Jun?" Li Ruiyuan pulled her, "What are you shouting for?"
"Your younger brother is Jun Ge? What about me?" Li Ruiyuan asked.
Su Yinyin seldom calls him by his name.
It was fine when they were young, and they all called him Yuan Rui. But as they grew older, they realized that Yuan Rui was not his real name, and Su Yinyin was too lazy to call him that anymore.
Nowadays, it is even more difficult to call him by his name.
Su Yinyin deliberately said, "What should I call you? Of course, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"This commoner pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Although she said that, Su Yinyin was just making gestures with her hands.
Li Ruiyuan found it funny: "I want to rob a woman of my own will."
Guo Zhan quietly withdrew. Su Yinyin had already stood up and didn't bother to pay attention to him. But he said, "Take the seal with you. You can save a lot of money."
Thinking of the beating Sun Dongjun had received and the money she had spent recently, Su Yinyin obediently took the prince's seal.
Don't be afraid of having too much debt.
It won’t be the first time anyway.
Even if Su Yinyin didn't want to admit it, she knew that her relationship with Li Ruiyuan had long been unclear.
Su Yinyin walked to the door, thought for a moment and said, "So should I call you Brother Yuan from now on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared, leaving Li Ruiyuan with red ears sorting out the files. It was a long time before he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yinyin had the prince's seal, but she did not rush to the Music Bureau to look for someone. Instead, she went to look for her brother and Li Xing first.
Li Xing had already taken Princess Yuqing out. After all, she was a royal relative, and the Queen Mother gave her some convenience, so she was not locked up, so Li Yuqing followed along.
Her clothes were not as gorgeous as before, but she was in good spirits and seemed to have been prepared. However, she asked a very important question, which stunned Sun Dongjun who came rushing over.
"Now that we know that Sister Du is in the Jiaofang Bureau, saving her requires connections and money. Not only that, there is another key question, what will happen in the future?" Li Yuqing said, "Her family obviously can't accommodate her. What will she do in the future?"
Su Yinyin was about to answer when she was stopped by Li Yuqing's eyes.
This question obviously has its own owner.
Sun Dongjun opened his mouth and said, "Yeah, what should I do? Should I rent a house for her?"
That won't work either. He took all the money he could get from home with him. This is not a long-term solution.
Li Yuqing explained seriously: "If you pay to redeem her, then her indenture will be in your hands, and she will be your family's slave at that time."
"No, no, no, she won't be a slave. I will definitely set her free." Sun Dongjun explained quickly, "She is my master. How can I really treat her as a slave?"
This answer made Li Yuqing feel relieved.
She didn't have much money on her, so if she wanted to redeem Sister Du, she really needed everyone to pool their money, and Sun Dongjun was the main force.
I’m afraid that Sun Dongjun will redeem her and make her a slave. Then Sister Du’s life will become even more miserable.
From this point of view, the person in front of me is really sincere.
"I'll write a promissory note and I'll count all the money from the beginning to the end as the loan." Li Yuqing confirmed, "Thank you very much for this."
Since the accident, the money that was worthless to them before has become extremely important.
It is also through these things that we can recognize who are true friends and real good people.
Sun Dongjun shook his head and said, "It's okay. My family's store is quite profitable. If it doesn't work, I can ask my mother for more."
Li Yuqing seemed to have thought of something and continued, "After the New Year, Li Xing and I will go to Rendi. Sister Du will be with me then, so the money will definitely be returned."
Anywhere?
Together?
Sun Dongjun felt that he couldn't think anymore.
Seeing this, Su Yinyin even fanned the flames and said, "Then I will never see you again in this lifetime."
I'll never see you again in this lifetime?!
Su Xian felt that they were bullying an honest child, but at this time, he couldn't help but say to Sun Dongjun: "When Miss Du gets married, the whole family will come to thank you."
Even the dumbest child would react at this moment, and his eyes would immediately turn red: "No, then I'll just follow him, I don't need anyone to thank me."
When he arrived at the Jiaofangsi, Sun Dongjun had already taken out all the banknotes he had on him. When he saw Miss Du for the first time, he couldn't say a word. Finally, he said, "Master Du, can I, can I marry you?"
Miss Du knew he was stupid, so she looked at the banknote and then at him: "You want to buy me away? If you don't marry me, you won't redeem me?"
"No, no, no, I just want to marry you. I'm not threatening you with these."
"Whether you get married or not, I will give you the money." Sun Dongjun started crying again as he spoke, and he felt that he had shed almost all the tears he had in his life.
While they were talking so sweetly, Su Yinyin took her brother to silently find the local manager and took out the document with the prince's seal.
On the document, the signature is Su Yinyin's and the seal is Li Ruiyuan's.
The steward immediately followed the instructions, released the man smoothly, and collected some symbolic money.
Sun Dongjun took the remaining silver and immediately bowed to Su Yinyin: "Thank you, Little Matchmaker!"
Su Yinyin was shocked.
But I really have to thank her for this, it saved me a lot of money!
Only Li Yuqing and Li Xing looked at the Su siblings.
The two of them are familiar with the process of redeeming someone, so how could it be so simple and so cheap?
What did they do?
Su Yinyin touched the seal.
Everyone will know soon.
According to Li Ruiyuan's step-by-step plan, he knew that the number of people he knew would increase.
It will definitely not be a secret by then.
There's no point in hiding it any longer.
There's really no escaping it.
Sometimes we really need to learn from Sun Dongjun.
She felt like she was in a shell, and without her noticing, someone had pried open a crack in it.
Maybe the world outside isn't that dangerous?
She has parents and a brother, so she can have a better life.
She deserves it, very much so.
Sun Dongjun was still cheering over there. He secretly pulled Miss Du's hand and said seriously, "I will protect you, for sure."
