Chapter 8 Xu Yinlin... is crazy
Jiang Yunzheng's voice rang out, "I am Jiang Yunzheng, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Minister of Revenue, Shi Tian. I just learned the identity of the Crown Prince from the assassin. If my words were inappropriate, I hope the Crown Prince will forgive me."
Qi Yunshen looked at the woman not far away, scrutinized her for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "No problem."
"I have a humble request, could you please grant it, my Lord?"
Qingying glanced at Jiang Yunzheng, and even Zizhu in the carriage held her breath.
Jiang Yunzheng spoke with sincerity, "My humble servant and I were kidnapped at Hanshan Temple. The carriage is now unusable. Could you please, my lord, take my servant and me to the carriage post? We can just sit in the front of the carriage."
At this moment, Hongyu got off the carriage and ran towards Jiang Yunzheng. The master and servant hugged each other and cried.
Hongyu: "Young Madam, what exactly happened? Who kidnapped us?"
Jiang Yunzheng sighed: "Let's talk about it when we get back home."
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment. Qingying and Zizhu did not dare to make a decision on their own. Just when Jiang Yunzheng thought Qi Yunshen was going to refuse, a cold voice came:
"Get in the car."
In the carriage, Zizhu also breathed a sigh of relief. After Qi Yunshen got in, she handed him the dry clothes. Jiang Yunzheng caught a glimpse of a small figure sleeping under a quilt.
Qi Zhenzhen has been a great sleeper since she was a child. Even when her grandmother took her to see an opera, the little girl would fall asleep anywhere as long as she felt sleepy.
Jiang Yunzheng's lips curled up slightly, but her eyes met Qi Yunshen's the next second. Her expression paused slightly, and she nodded politely to Qi Yunshen.
Jiang Yunzheng turned around and pursed her lips.
Qingying stayed behind to clean up the mess. Jiang Yunzheng and her servant sat outside the carriage with Zizhu. Zizhu handed Jiang Yunzheng a dry cloth and said, "Madam Shi, wipe it off. What happened just now?"
Jiang Yunzheng smiled bitterly: "Maybe the kidnappers are just looking for money."
Zizhu did not respond. Since Madam Shi said so, there was no need for their prince to report to the authorities. It would be nothing more than killing the kidnapper while killing the assassin.
Fortunately, the rain became lighter and the roof of the carriage could block the rain, so we soon arrived at the nearest inn.
Jiang Yunzheng and his servant thanked them and got out of the car.
Zizhu continued driving while wearing a bamboo hat.
A voice came from the carriage: "Go and find out who the kidnapper was that she killed?"
Zizhu: "Yes."
In just two days, the lady and the young lady met twice. If it was a coincidence, then everything would be fine. But if it was a deliberate plan by the Shi family, then there was no need to keep them.
There were not many people in the inn. The master and servant opened a room to wash up, and Hongyu asked the proprietress to buy two sets of clothes.
The carriage at the inn still needed to be prepared. Jiang Yunzheng stood at the door watching the rain. The soup kitchen not far away was closing up. A refugee who came to get porridge slipped and accidentally knocked over a table and chairs, knocking the flags on the side to the ground. The big word "Xu" fell into the puddle and was quickly picked up by the guards.
"Go, go, go, it's time to close the stall."
"Please have mercy on us. Our village in the south was flooded. We have to beg for food all the way to the capital. Please beg us, sir."
The rain gradually stopped, and a carriage made entirely of ebony approached. The curtain was lifted, revealing a woman's face.
"Now that the rain has stopped, I'll go back home and get some rice to cook. Doing some good deeds within my ability will also help me accumulate merit for my son."
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am."
Seeing Jiang Yunzheng's fascination, the innkeeper's wife couldn't help but say, "This year, the south has experienced unusually heavy rains, which have breached the Yellow River embankments and flooded many villages downstream. Prime Minister Xu, at such an advanced age, went south to control the floods, while Madam Xu distributed porridge and prayed for blessings. The eldest son of the Xu family has been sent to Lingnan. Prime Minister Xu's family are all very kind-hearted people."
Jiang Yunzheng raised the corners of her lips, but her eyes were extremely cold: "I am fortunate to have met the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family. They are all amazingly talented and have unique talents."
"Who says it's not true? It's just that the Third Miss of the Xu family has suffered. Princess Yu, who was so good, actually went crazy. I heard that she was raised in a farm outside the city. Sigh."
Someone, a young man, interrupted, "As the saying goes, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Perhaps he has done something sinful, and even God cannot bear to see it."
Jiang Yunzheng withdrew her gaze. The inn carriage drove to the door and she lifted her skirt and stepped out.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Xu turned around and saw a gentle and graceful profile at the foot of the post station.
Madam Xu lowered the curtain, and the maid beside her said gently, "Madam, wait until the master returns from controlling the flood, and then go to His Majesty to plead for mercy. He will definitely be able to bring the Third Miss back."
Four years ago, Princess Yude took Xu Jingyang to visit the palace. Other ministers' families also went with them, and Mrs. Xu brought Xu Yinlin with her.
That day, Xu Yinlin took Xu Jingyang out, but she slipped on the moss on the road and gave birth prematurely.
After Xu Jingyang died in the fire, Qi Yunshen captured Xu Yinlin and the Western Xia Saint, and the palace was flooded with blood. Prime Minister Xu knelt at the palace gate for a day and a night before he begged His Majesty to let Qi Yunshen release Xu Yinlin. After being imprisoned for several days, Xu Yinlin was covered in wounds and looked miserable. When Xu Yinlin woke up, she went crazy. The Xu family blocked any news related to Xu Yinlin's death.
Later, Xu Yinlin was first taken back to the palace by King Yu, and then sent to a farm outside the city, where no one was allowed to visit her.
In the past four years, the Xu family has never seen Xu Yinlin, and there is no news about Xu Yinlin. All Mrs. Xu can do is to bring some medicinal herbs and money to the people in the house every month, and then pass them on to Xu Yinlin.
Mrs. Xu closed her eyes. She watched Xu Yinlin grow up. How could Xu Jingyang’s death be related to Yinlin?
-
Stone Mansion.
When Jiang Yunzheng returned to Qihuaju, it was already dark. She changed her clothes and delivered medicine to Qingfengyuan.
Song was extremely anxious. If Jiang Yunzheng didn't come back, she would have sent someone to look for her. Fortunately, Jiang Yunzheng returned home safely.
Song was terrified. "Yun Zheng, I was inconsiderate. Next time I leave the house, I must bring guards with me. What if something happens..."
Jiang Yunzheng: "Don't worry, mother, everything went well today."
The news that Jiang Yunzheng returned home safely soon reached Qin's ears.
Qin's wishful thinking failed, and the red glow on his face visibly cracked. "What did you say?"
Qiu Nong hesitated, "It's just that the carriage that came back wasn't the same one, and the clothes on the young lady and Hongyu were changed..."
Qin's expression paused, then she started laughing: "Jiang Yunzheng, it's just that someone has abused you."
wrong!
Jiang Yunzheng was going to be arranged for a ghost marriage underground, and Qin had specifically instructed that they only needed to knock the person unconscious and stuff her into the coffin and leave her alone.
There is absolutely no way that those two would abuse Jiang Yunzheng and then let her go.
Something definitely went wrong in the middle!
"Go check it out for me!"
Qiu Nong responded, and then couldn't help asking, "Madam, what about the three thousand taels of silver..."
Jiang Yunzheng ran away halfway, so Qin naturally couldn't get the money.
"Madam, there's also the matter of the house deed..."
Qin was short of money, so she took a silk shop to a money house as payment. The money house paid a thousand taels in advance. If Qin did not send the house deeds and land deeds after ten days, the money house would directly go to the shop to move goods to pay the money.
Ten days...time is running out.
