Chapter 200: Yu meets Jiang Yunzheng and learns the truth about Jingyang's disappearance
After returning to the mansion, Qi Yunshen carried Jiang Yunzheng directly back to the main courtyard.
When passing by the garden, Qi Yunshen's gaze lingered on the corner for a moment, then he carried Jiang Yunzheng away and left.
At the spot, Xu Suyuan looked at the two men's backs with a pale face and a distraught look, then limped out of the mansion to find a doctor to prescribe painkillers.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the house, I saw Yu, who looked like a wandering soul, followed by Liu Po.
Xu Suyuan still has Jiang Wen's face.
He felt bitter as he looked at Yu, who had aged twenty years in such a short time. He never expected... his mother would find out in the end.
He stopped in front of Yu.
Yu was only concerned with getting on her way, and someone blocked her way. She moved to the left, and the person followed her, as if he was going to go against her.
Granny Liu stamped her feet and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu then looked up at Xu Suyuan and asked, "Why are you blocking me?"
After several near-death experiences, Xu Suyuan's voice had changed. He said, "The Qi family is just ahead. Where are you going, Madam?"
Yu became anxious and the wrinkles between her brows furrowed tightly.
"I'm going to the Qi family, get out of my way."
Xu Suyuan: "Madam, please go back first. Everyone in the mansion is asleep."
Yu: "None of your business!"
No matter what, Xu Suyuan refused to let Yu go.
Seeing that this man was stubborn, Mrs. Liu was worried that he had a mental problem and would develop malicious intentions, so she quickly pulled Yu away.
"Ma'am, let's come back tomorrow."
Yu glared at Xu Suyuan again indignantly.
Xu Suyuan shook his head: "The mansion is heavily guarded. You can't see the person you want to see."
Yu Shi then felt something was wrong, "Who are you?"
Xu Suyuan shook his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Liu quickly pulled Yu away and said, "Madam, we all know that Miss Jiang is here. Let's come back tomorrow."
On the way back, Yu felt depressed. When she thought of Jiang Yunzheng's eyes before, her heart ached again.
Jingyang...I clearly saw her.
Yu changed her mind and came to Jiangnan, searching like a headless fly for several days. Fortunately, she finally found Jingyang.
Yu rented a three-story house in Hangzhou. It was important for her to find someone, so there was no need to live in a luxurious place.
As the master and servant walked into the alley, a man came hurriedly in front of them. He didn't notice the pit under his feet and tripped to the ground. The cloth bag in his arms fell out and the contents fell to the ground.
"Hey, isn't this Li Dao? It's so late, where are you going?"
"Grandma Liu, my grandma's cold hasn't gotten better yet. She's dying tonight. I need to find a doctor to save my mother."
Yu asked Mrs. Liu to help pick up the things, and Yu also picked up the things at her feet.
Suddenly, her eyes fixed and her whole body was shaking.
In the moonlight, the three words engraved on the pure gold life lock were very clear.
Xu Jingyang.
Those memories that Yu cherished kept flooding her mind, and she kept gasping for air.
That year, Xu Jingyang was carried out of the house by a maid to watch the Lantern Festival. It was Yu who personally dressed up her little daughter that day.
"My dear baby is so delicate and beautiful, he only looks good with these golden things."
Yu hung the life lock around her daughter's neck.
Yu picked up the other jewelry scattered on the ground, and turbid tears flowed from her eyes.
Yu half fell and half crawled forward and grabbed Li Dao's clothes. She forced out a voice from her throat:
"Where did this come from?"
Li Daocai is just a teenager, how could he know all this?
He shook his head in fear: "Mrs. Yu, I don't know anything. Let me go. I want to go get a doctor for my grandma."
Yu's face was as fierce as a ghost: "Doctor? All this is retribution for your grandmother!"
Li Dao was young and could not bear to hear such words. He used all his strength to push Yu over, snatched the things from Liu Po and ran away.
Yu shouted sternly, “Go and catch him!”
Mrs. Liu stepped forward and kicked Li Dao on the back. Li Dao fell straight to the ground with blood all over his face.
Yu said solemnly, "Drag him to the Li family."
Li Dao has a paralyzed father in bed and a grandmother who has caught a cold.
Before going to the Li family, Mrs. Liu called a few guards.
The door of the Li family was suddenly kicked open, and the half-asleep Mrs. Li was suddenly awakened. Then the room was lit up, and her grandson with blood on his face was thrown to the ground.
Mrs. Li looked at the people who suddenly appeared in the room. Both Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu were wearing gold and silver jewelry, and the guards were also big and strong, not ordinary people.
"Who are you? Dao'er, wake up." After saying that, Mrs. Li started coughing.
Yu threw the Hundred Life Lock directly onto the bed and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
Mrs. Li took a look at the things on the bed, her brows furrowed with fear, and she quickly guessed the identity of the visitor.
Mrs. Li insisted she didn't know: "I don't know. Someone fell at my doorstep and I picked him up."
Yu noticed the strange look in Li Pozi's eyes. She sneered and glanced at Li Dao on the ground: "She doesn't know, right? Beat her until she tells the truth!"
After saying that, the guard's fist landed on Li Dao.
Mrs. Li yelled, "Shut up, you bastards!"
Mrs. Li wanted to lie, but after seeing her grandson's teeth all knocked out, she cried out, "Sir, please stop beating me. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"
"...This was taken from a little girl."
Yu's face trembled.
Mrs. Li talked about what happened that year.
At that time, Li Pozi and her family were just refugees. They often lived in an abandoned temple in the capital and got to know many beggars in the abandoned temple. A young woman came to the abandoned temple and found the beggar leader. She asked them to take advantage of the chaos during the Lantern Festival to kidnap a little girl, and she would give them five thousand taels of silver afterwards.
In order to ensure that the task was completed, the beggar leader asked Li Pozi and her family to participate.
So this group of beggars was responsible for causing trouble and gathering a crowd at the Lantern Festival, taking the opportunity to disrupt the little girl's servants, and then Mrs. Li and her family took the girl away.
This little girl was full of treasures, so Mrs. Li secretly hid some jewelry.
Later, the young woman fulfilled her promise and delivered five thousand taels, but the beggar leader wanted to keep it all for himself. In a rage, Li Po's brother beat the beggar to death.
Then he robbed five thousand taels and ignored the remaining beggars. Seeing that Xu Jingyang was extremely beautiful at a young age, he became malicious and wanted to sell her to a brothel. So he took his family away from the capital to Hangzhou and sold Xu Jingyang to a brothel for one hundred taels of silver.
Hearing this, Yu leaned against the wall weakly.
Later, Li Pozi's brother and sister quarreled over money and separated. Li Pozi and her husband moved here with their children.
Mrs. Li finished speaking tremblingly, and seeing Yu's expression, she didn't dare to continue.
Yu stared at her closely: "What happened next?!"
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth. "After only two or three years, I heard that the girl had run away. That brothel was quite influential in the city, and the madam was furious. She searched everywhere for her, but in the end, it seems she still couldn't find her."
Over the years, Li Pozi's eldest brother was beaten to death due to his gambling addiction, Li Pozi's husband fell into the water and drowned, her only son became paralyzed by a stroke, and now Li Pozi is almost dead.
Yu pointed at Mrs. Li and spat out a mouthful of blood.
A brothel... that's not a place for people to stay.
Yu's eyes were red, wondering how much suffering her Jingyang had endured.
In the second half of the night, Yu took people away from Li's house.
Not long after, the Li family's house accidentally caught fire and burned all night.
