Chapter 195 A Little Smart, But Not Much
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and praised: "You are indeed quite smart."
Chu Leyi's eyes lit up, "Do you really think I'm smart?"
"A little smart, but not much." Jiang Yunxi told the truth. If she was particularly smart, she probably wouldn't have fallen into Xu's trap.
Chu Leyi: "..."
Jiang Yunxi put the painting away and walked out. "Remember to listen to me later. I want to check whether Xu's family is a secret agent. Your father probably won't let me verify the child now. If Xu's family is a secret agent, he won't dare to protect it."
"How long will I have to stay here? Zhuangzi is too bad, I don't want to stay there." Chu Leyi looked unwilling, she didn't want to suffer.
"I'll do it as soon as possible." That's all Jiang Yunxi could say.
Chu Leyi: "..."
When they arrived at the Orchid Garden, Prime Minister Chu had already come out. The father and his two sons were arguing. Feng stood by without saying a word, with no expression on her face.
"Mother." Chu Leyi quickly walked to Feng's side.
Feng looked at her, then looked at Jiang Yunxi, "Miss Jiang, you've made a long trip today. You can go back now. We will not skimp on your reward."
"Is it that Prime Minister Chu doesn't want me to verify it?" Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
"Actually, I guessed that he would make such a decision." Feng smiled bitterly, so she said that Le Yi didn't understand her father well enough, because the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't afford to lose face.
"You and Chu Leyi go to Zhuangzi. Give me some time and I will clear your name." Jiang Yunxi said.
"You still want to help us?" Feng's face was full of surprise.
Jiang Yunxi curled her lips and smiled, "Take money from others and help them get rid of disasters."
Chu Leyi hugged Feng's arm and said, "Mother, we have no other choice. Why don't we listen to her first?"
After thinking it over, Feng said, "Then I'll leave it to Miss Jiang."
Le Yi is right.
They had no better choice but to trust Jiang Yunxi.
"Father, are you really going to send Mother and Le Yi to Zhuangzi?" Chu Jiaxuan's forehead was bulging with veins, and his face was filled with undisguised anger. He was really about to explode with anger.
"Father, do you trust Xu so much?" Chu Shumo's face was full of disappointment. He actually said that there was no need to verify and believed that the child in Xu's belly was his.
Prime Minister Chu looked at them and said, "They made a mistake and should go to Zhuangzi to calm down. As for the rest, you don't need to say anything more!"
"Prime Minister Chu, have you made your decision?" Jiang Yunxi walked over and asked.
"Miss Jiang, I don't need verification. The child in Xu's belly is mine. This is my family affair. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Prime Minister Chu said coldly with an expressionless face.
Even if the child in Xu's belly is not his, this matter cannot be made public, otherwise he will lose face and become a laughing stock in the capital.
"I know medicine. I want to go see Mrs. Xu and the child's body. I can also help the child to be reincarnated." Jiang Yunxi said. She mainly wanted to see if there was any problem with the child's body.
Prime Minister Chu was about to refuse.
"Dad, if you don't let Miss Jiang go in to see Xu, my mother and I won't go to the manor. We will even spread what happened today and let the people in the capital judge it!" Chu Leyi said loudly.
"You, you bastard!" Chu Xiang's eyes widened. He didn't expect her to threaten him.
"Second brother said that you want us to go to the farm and pick us up after Xu is well. Who knows if Xu is pretending to be sick? We must let Miss Jiang check her body." Chu Leyi did not give in at all.
Since she no longer had a place in his heart as his daughter, she naturally wouldn't talk to him nicely like before.
"Le Yi is right. Otherwise, Mrs. Xu will pretend to be sick and deliberately delay the process of not allowing us mother and daughter to come back." Mrs. Feng walked forward and said coldly. If Jiang Yunxi wanted to go in and see Mrs. Xu, they should help.
Prime Minister Chu looked at them, then looked at Jiang Yunxi and said in a deep voice, "Come with me."
After saying this, he turned and walked into the house.
Jiang Yunxi followed.
Chu Jiaxuan said angrily, "Father is going too far. Mother, Le Yi, are you really going to Zhuangzi?"
Feng looked at him earnestly and said, "Jiaxuan, after Le Yi and I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must not act impulsively. Listen to your eldest brother in everything. We will be back soon."
Although Chu Jiaxuan felt unfair for them, he had no other choice but to reply, "Yeah."
Inner room.
When Jiang Yunxi entered, she saw Xu Yinyin lying on the bed with a pale face and tears all over her face. She looked particularly pitiful and aroused pity. "Aunt Xu, I'm here to help you check your body."
After saying that, she stepped forward, grabbed her hand and felt her pulse.
It was indeed a miscarriage. She had no other health problems, but she was weak due to the miscarriage. She would recover soon if she lay down and rested well.
Xu Yinyin's tears stopped and she stared at Jiang Yunxi motionlessly. She was the person Chu Leyi had invited during the day. Her maid only found out after asking around that she was a Taoist nun.
She was worried that she would see something, so she made arrangements in advance to make it appear that Chu Leyi pushed her, which led to her miscarriage and the loss of the baby.
Just now, the master came in and asked her if the baby in her belly was his, and she naturally said yes.
It seems that Jiang Yunxi does have some abilities.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to act in advance. She had no intention of giving birth to the baby in her belly. She was just waiting for the right opportunity to put the blame on the mother and daughter.
Jiang Yunxi withdrew her hand, stood up and looked at Chu Xiang, "She's fine, she needs to rest for half a month."
Prime Minister Chu understood what she meant. "In half a month, I will send someone to the village to bring them back."
Jiang Yunxi asked, "Where's the child?"
"What are you going to do? My child is gone..." Xu Yinyin's voice was choked with pain.
"I come from Qingxu Temple. I can pray for his soul to be reborn into a good family with loving parents in his next life." Jiang Yunxi must see the child's body.
"Miss Jiang, do you mean that we don't love him?" Chu Xiang's face looked particularly ugly. Her words were too sarcastic.
Jiang Yunxi looked at them one by one, "Do you love him? If you did, the child wouldn't have died today. You should quickly perform a ritual to help him pass away, or he won't blame you."
Chu Xiang thought about it carefully and decided that he should indeed perform a ritual to save his soul, otherwise it would affect the family's fortune. "Come with me."
"Master..." Xu Yinyin called out to him.
"You should have a good rest." After saying this, Prime Minister Chu left the inner room.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Xu Yinyin with a deep gaze and walked away.
Xu Yinyin clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. This Jiang Yunxi was indeed a bad guy. He even wanted to bring Feng mother and daughter back in half a month.
Jiang Yunxi followed Chu Xiang into another room.
On the soft couch, a large red cloth was wrapped around the body of a baby. In the corner, the soul of a baby was curled up in a ball, with confusion in its clear eyes and a look of pain on its face.
He probably couldn't figure out why his soul couldn't return to his body.
