Chapter 168 The Master Who Suddenly Appeared
Yu Mansion.
This was the third quarrel between Yu Tongyan and the Yu family in the past few days.
Yu firmly believed that Jiang Yunzheng was Xu Jingyang.
She has already investigated Jiang Yunzheng's life thoroughly.
Yu: "Brother, Jiang Yunzheng didn't know any medical skills before, but suddenly he almost died and woke up to become a miracle doctor in the capital. How is this possible?!"
"Also, she approached the Xu residence and took Nanny Qin away. Everything points to her!"
"What's more, Jiashu said Jingyang is still alive..."
At this point, Yu began to choke up.
Yu Tongyan didn't believe it at all. If Xu Jingyang was Jiang Yunzheng, then the real Jiang Yunzheng would have died long ago. Even if Yu Tongyan died, he would not accept this conjecture.
"There are no ghosts or gods in this world. Maybe Jiashu means that Xu Jingyang didn't die back then!"
Yu shook her head: "Impossible..."
That was a scene that Yu never dared to recall. Through the distant crowd, she saw with her own eyes the guards carrying Jiang Yunzheng out, her arms blackened by smoke.
Yu Tongyan said in a deep voice: "Xiangyi, I think you are completely crazy. I will find a doctor to check on you tomorrow."
Yu yelled, "I'm not sick!"
"You stay in the mansion these days. Once things are settled, we will return to Shencheng."
Yu: "Impossible, I'm going to Jiangnan to find Jingyang."
Yu Tongyan: "Yun Zheng went to Jiangnan?"
Yu nodded.
No wonder Yu Tongyan waited outside the Song Mansion for a long time these days but didn’t see anyone.
"Brother, even if I beg you, will you really let me see you?"
Yu Tongyan left with a word "absolutely impossible" and left in anger.

The next day, before dawn, Qi Yunshen rode out of the city.
After waking up and having breakfast, Jiang Yunzheng took Hou Yue out. Both of them were still wearing men's clothes.
Xie Xuan couldn't get out of bed, so Wu Yu stayed in the house and watched her.
Butler Luo was worried that Jiang Yunzheng was unfamiliar with the place, so he sent his only daughter Luo Ying to take Jiang Yunzheng around.
Luo Ying spoke in a crisp voice and looked well-behaved. When Jiang Yunzheng saw her smile, she thought of Xu Mianmian who was far away in the capital.
Xiazhou City is a major transportation hub for several nearby cities. The architecture in the city is bold and simple, a style unique to the north. The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Although it is located on the border, the people live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about foreign invasions.
Luo Ying took Jiang Yunzheng to the largest bookstore.
Hou Yue followed behind him and murmured, "You come here to buy books and read so many books. No wonder you are smarter than a fox."
Luo Ying couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hou, what fox are you talking about? Do you want to buy one? We often have foxes hunted by mountain farmers come to the city to sell."
Hou Yue shook her head: "No, foxes are so expensive."
The bookstore was divided into categories, and Jiang Yunzheng selected several travelogues.
One of the books mentioned that the author was traveling at sea many years ago when it suddenly rained heavily and the ship was accidentally overturned by the waves. When he regained consciousness, he was on an island. The people on the island lived a rich and self-sufficient life. Everyone was well-dressed and their houses and courtyards were magnificent. When the author regained consciousness, he was still drifting on the sea.
This short text record is like a dream I once had.
Jiang Yunzheng lowered her eyes slightly and flipped through the time of writing the book.
It was thirty years ago.
The first page of the book says that the author is from the northwest and his ancestral home is near Xiazhou City, but it does not mention the details.
Jiang Yunzheng took the book to find the bookstore owner.
The bookstore owner flipped through the books and said, "I remember now. This man has passed away. His grandson sold this book to me a few years ago in order to pay for his mother's medical treatment."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Do you know where he is now?"
"This... I can only go and ask around."
Jiang Yunzheng placed a small bag of silver on the table and said, "Thank you."
Bookstore owner: "You're welcome."
After saying this, he put the silver into his sleeve.
"Three days at the latest. Come over here in three days."
After leaving the bookstore, Luo Ying took a few people to visit several famous places in Xiazhou. Luo Ying took a few people to a pastry shop in the city to buy some food.
Jiang Yunzheng saw a rabbit cake made of red bean paste and asked the waiter, "How long can this cake be kept?"
"The temperature is low now, so it will be fine if it is sealed for 20 days."
Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips, asked the store owner to seal some, and bought another portion separately.
On the way back to Qi Mansion, we passed by the private school set up by the Qi family.
Standing outside, you can seem to hear the sound of reading aloud inside.
Just then, a thin and handsome man walked out of the private school. He had a slight limp and looked very gentle.
Luo Ying asked, "Master Jiang, where are you going?"
Jiang Wen's voice was hoarse, which didn't match his scholarly appearance.
"Miss Luo, what a coincidence."
As they were talking, another boy came out of the private school. This boy was usually responsible for sweeping and cleaning the private school.
"Master Jiang, I just went to ask the kitchen lady. There's a small courtyard for rent not far from here."
Jiang Wen looked a little embarrassed.
The servant quickly added, "The cook said that because the yard is small, the rent is not expensive."
Jiang Wen then smiled and said, "That's good."
Luo Ying was puzzled: "Didn't we arrange accommodation for the teachers in the private school?"
The servant looked ashamed. "Master Jiang's room is the last one left vacant. The beams collapsed in the middle of the night, and some of the tiles on the roof are broken. Steward Luo said he would rent another courtyard for Master Jiang."
Jiang Wen noticed Jiang Yunzheng's gaze and smiled at her.
Luo Ying frowned and said, "Why don't we ask a craftsman to come and fix it first? Young Master Jiang can live in the front yard for the next few days."
In the past, some of the Qi Mansion's retainers lived in the front yard, which was far away from the back yard.
The servant said, "Butler Luo ordered..."
Luo Ying smiled and said, "Just live there first, and move in when this house is repaired."
Jiang Wen bowed to Luo Ying and said, "Thank you for troubling me yesterday and today, Miss Luo."
Luo Ying's earlobes turned slightly red, "Mr. Jiang, you're too polite."
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Hou Yue.
Hou Yue raised his eyebrows at her while holding the sword, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yunzheng: "...Nothing."
On the way back, Jiang Yunzheng asked about what happened yesterday.
Luo Ying said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yesterday, I went out of town to visit my grandfather and came back. I saw a few beggars bullying him at the city gate. I stepped forward to stop them. He spoke with reason and logic, like a scholar. Remembering that my father was looking for a teacher a few days ago, I introduced him to him."
Jiang Yunzheng curled her lips and said, "Miss Luo is such a kind person."
Luo Ying didn't finish her words.
Although Jiang Wen was lame and had a bad voice, his face was very handsome, without any of the roughness of a northern boy.
Not long after Jiang Yunzheng and others returned to Qi Mansion, Jiang Wen packed his luggage and moved into the room arranged by Luo Ying.
When Butler Luo found out, he scolded Luo Ying.
Luo Ying: "Dad, what's wrong? Master Luo doesn't look like a bad person."
Butler Luo frowned and ordered his servants, "Fix the house tonight."
Steward Luo then said to Luo Ying, "This is a critical period, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."
Luo Ying pouted: "If there were spies, they would have gone straight to the guard post. We don't even have a proper master in our mansion, and the prince doesn't come back often, so what information can they find out?"
Butler Luo said sternly, "Luo Ying."
Luo Ying's face turned pale and she didn't dare to talk back.
Butler Luo sent two more servants to serve Jiang Wen, and every move of Jiang Wen had to be kept a close eye on.
