Chapter 215 Underground
"At most thirty taels. It's your fault for not being able to keep a good eye on her. No, it must be your husband who went too far. Otherwise, why would Yun Xi run away?" Xu Lanfang said, grasping the key point.
Regardless of whether what Jiang Yunxi said was true or not, she had to take it seriously to prevent Cheng from asking them for more money.
Seventy taels is also money, why should I give it to her?
"Ms. Cheng, either I give you thirty taels of silver, or you report to the authorities." Yang Xiong spoke in a rogue tone, and there was no way he would get more money.
Cheng Shi didn't have the confidence to report it to the authorities. Without a marriage certificate, the authorities would definitely not side with her. "Forty taels, or I'll go to the Duke of Ying's mansion and make a scene, saying that you were the ones who sold Jiang Yunxi to me."
Xu Lanhua and Yang Xiong looked at each other.
After deducting the original thirty taels, he gave Cheng ten taels of silver.
"Okay, but only after we get the money from the Duke of England's Mansion." Xu Lanhua made the decision. It was indeed them who sold Jiang Yunxi to the Du family in the beginning. She didn't want to marry at all, but she had no choice at that time.
"You have to arrange for my food, accommodation and shelter in the capital. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, no one will benefit." Cheng was not someone to be trifled with. She knew that they didn't want to make a big fuss either.
"Okay, okay, okay." Xu Lanhua didn't want any trouble to happen at this time. She just wanted to get the money from the Duke of England smoothly.
…
Prince Yi's Mansion.
"Miss, the wife of the Duke of England is here. She is outside the palace and asked you to go out and talk to her about something important." Qingzhi reported to Jiang Chenyu who was sitting by the window.
Jiang Chenyu quickly came to her senses when she heard the voice. She stood up and asked, "Did mother say anything?"
Qingzhi shook his head.
Jiang Chenyu quickly walked outside. When she saw Mu, she smiled sweetly and called out, "Mother, why are you here?"
Madam Mu looked behind her and said, "Let's talk in the carriage."
Jiang Chenyu nodded.
Mu briefly and concisely told the story of the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
"Sister Yunxi's adoptive parents want ten thousand taels of silver?" Jiang Chenyu's face was full of shock, and she felt disgusted. They were indeed from a remote place, and they were too greedy.
"Your grandmother said that the account office in the mansion didn't have that much silver, so she asked me to use my own private money. I wanted to leave my private money to you in the future, so how could I give it to those two poor guys?" Mu became more and more angry as she spoke.
"Mother, you can use your private money yourself, you don't have to give it to me." Jiang Chenyu was moved. She didn't expect that she still missed her. She would always remember this kindness.
No matter what happens in the future, she will protect her.
"Your elder brother and second brother have their own money, and I will give you my private money in the future. Although you are in the palace now, I am still worried about you." Mu looked at her with a distressed face.
Jiang Yunxi is so capable and doesn't need her to take care of him.
Jiang Chenyu's eyes were red, and she was deeply moved. "Grandmother, are you willing to give me ten thousand taels of silver?"
"No, she asked me to talk to them. How much do you think I should give?" Mrs. Mu wanted to hear her opinion.
"I don't know about that either. Anyway, they have raised Sister Yunxi for sixteen years." Jiang Chenyu naturally thought that the less the better.
"They just gave him food to eat but didn't take good care of him. Look at what he has become. He is arrogant and conceited, and he has no filial piety towards me at all." Mu said gritting her teeth.
If they taught her well, she would be willing to pay them some money.
"It doesn't cost much to raise a child in the countryside. Mother can just give some money so as not to affect your mood. I just hope that mother is happy." Jiang Chenyu said gently.
When Mrs. Mu heard her say this, her mood instantly improved. "Chenyu, you are the best. It is worth it to have you as my daughter in this life."
With what she said, she planned to give those two poor guys a hundred taels of silver to get rid of them.
If they dared to cause trouble, she would send them to the authorities.
"Mom, it is my blessing to grow up by your side." Jiang Chenyu said with a sweet smile.
"I heard from your father that Zhen Mingyue has information about your biological parents. Did you get any clues when you went to see her last time?" asked Mrs. Mu. She had heard about it from the master that day.
Inexplicably, she didn't want her to find her parents.
"She didn't say anything..." The smile on Jiang Chenyu's face disappeared and she shook her head.
Mu heaved a sigh of relief. "If there's no clue, don't look for it. As long as I'm here, I'll always be your mother."
Jiang Chenyu threw herself into her arms. She was really good to her.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
After Zhan Beiyuan came back, he went straight to Fanghuayuan. He had heard about what happened on the street during the day. He didn't expect that her adoptive parents and the Du family would come to the capital to find her.
When he arrived, Mo Mo Mianmian was already asleep, and there was candlelight in Jiang Yunxi's room.
When Zi Yan and Qing Wu saw their master coming, they tactfully returned to their own rooms.
Zhan Beiyuan walked up and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"This king."
"Come in."
Zhan Beiyuan pushed the door open and saw her meditating on the bed. "Did I disturb you?"
Jiang Yunxi got up from the bed and said, "No, I was just practicing the power of thunder and lightning. How is your Haoran Jue going?"
Zhan Beiyuan touched his nose with his hand and said uncomfortably, "The seventh level is indeed a bit difficult to break through."
"That's normal. It took me a long time at the beginning. You don't have to worry. You can break through in an instant when the right opportunity comes." Jiang Yunxi looked at him with a smile.
Cultivation requires opportunity.
When he first came into contact with it, he cultivated the Haoran Jue to the sixth level in less than a month, which was already a rocket-like speed.
"I heard that your adoptive parents and the Du family are looking for you. Do you want me to help?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"No need, someone will take care of it." Jiang Yunxi curled her lips and smiled. Her grandmother said that she would find something for Mu to do and asked her to go and talk to them.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her and knew that he didn't need to take action. "You should get some rest early."
"Are you free now?"
"have."
"How about we go to the East Palace now?" Jiang Yunxi felt full of strength and wanted to see the dead air in the East Palace.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan agreed. She looked eager to do something, and he really couldn't say no.
The two of them quickly left the palace and headed straight for the East Palace.
When they arrived, the East Palace was brightly lit.
"It's right to come at night. The deathly aura is more obvious at night." Jiang Yunxi pursed her red lips. She couldn't wait to see what was under the East Palace.
"I also sensed a strange aura." Zhan Beiyuan's face darkened.
"Let's go find the dead air first. It's underground. Find the mechanism to get down." Jiang Yunxi glanced around and chose a direction. The dead air was heavy at night, and she could find the source by relying on the dead air.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan followed her.
The two of them arrived at the left side of the East Palace and then entered a small hall that seemed like a shrine.
"The mechanism should be on this statue." Zhan Beiyuan said as he walked to the stone platform, holding the statue with both hands and twisting it.
Rumble——
A secret passage appeared on the right side of the hall.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan rushed in quickly, and the deathly aura inside was even heavier.
"The source of the deathly energy is right here." Jiang Yunxi looked around as he walked. There was nothing on the wall. It looked like an ordinary secret room. The ancestor of the Zhan family must have had nothing better to do than to make this.
"Wait, there are a lot of bones there." Zhan Beiyuan grabbed Jiang Yunxi.
