Chapter 6 Poison Forest
"Madam, the old lady has just been sweating and is changing clothes. Please wait for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunwan looked up at the sky. It was still noon and there was a gentle breeze.
Chen Chunhua knows how to enjoy life the most. She spends a lot of money on herself. There is always ice in the room in summer, and she can sweat a lot. Is she kidding?
He wanted to torture her with the same trick again.
In the past, she would just stand there for a while before fainting, but today she didn't want to indulge the old hag anymore.
The body fell backwards, and Caiwei quickly caught Jiang Yunwan and exclaimed: "Ah! Madam, don't scare this servant."
Nanny Wen felt like her ears were going deaf. Why were they shouting so loudly? It was not as if the old lady could not hear.
Jiang Yunwan rubbed her temples and said, "I'm fine."
"You said you were fine, but you look pale. You must be tired from taking care of the young lady last night. I will take Madam back to rest. If Madam has a heat stroke, I will be unable to explain to Master when he comes back."
"Madam." At this time, a maid came out of the room, "The old lady has changed, please come in."
Jiang Yunwan curled the corner of her lips and walked in with the support of Caiwei and Nanny Wen.
When Chen Chunhua saw Jiang Yunwan being supported in, a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
He was exhausted after taking care of that wild girl all night. He must have developed a disease of affluence in the Song family.
"mother."
"Hurry up and sit down. No need to bow." Chen Chunhua had someone bring a soft chair for her to sit on. She turned and glared at Caiwei. "How dare you ignore my words? I told you to tell the Madam not to rush over when her mother and daughter returned. The Madam almost fainted. What is your crime?"
"Please forgive me, old lady." Caiwei said as she was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Jiang Yunwan.
"Mother, this is not Caiwei's fault. Caiwei told my daughter-in-law that she was anxious to come here. Sister Yu didn't come back with my daughter-in-law. She hasn't recovered yet and needs to stay in the temple for a few more days."
Chen Chunhua frowned, "Not well yet?"
Jiang Yunwan nodded: "You know, Sister Yu is already weak, and now she has fainted from heatstroke. She will recover more slowly than ordinary people."
As Jiang Yunwan spoke, she took out the half tael of silver from her sleeve.
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua hurriedly asked Nanny Wen to bring over half a tael of silver.
After getting half a tael of silver, Chen Chunhua felt relieved. A sickly person could still be of some use.
"Then let Sister Yu stay in the temple for a few more days. You should go back and have a good rest. Oh, by the way, Ming En will be back from the capital soon. Being a lawyer for lawsuits is very stressful. You should arrange for someone to go into the mountains and see if they can dig up wild ginseng. If they can't find any, send someone to the county herbal medicine shop to buy some ordinary ginseng. When Ming En comes back, make some soup for him to nourish him."
In the past, Jiang Yunwan felt that Chen Chunhua really cared about Song Mingen and did not like her as a daughter-in-law.
Now hearing her say this, she was actually just concerned about the silver Ming'en brought back.
"Okay, mother, your daughter-in-law will arrange it as soon as possible."
Jiang Yunwan returned to her room, wanting to lie down and rest for a while, but she was worried about Song Mingen's injuries and couldn't calm down. "Caiwei, have someone keep an eye on him in the temple and report to me as soon as Ji Wuchen returns."
"yes."
Jiang Yunwan lay down to rest after giving the instructions.
Half an hour later, Caiwei walked in from outside. After waiting for a moment, she saw that Jiang Yunwan had woken up before whispering, "Just now, someone from the Hot Spring Villa came to say that the eldest lady had gone on a long journey with Bai Lan. She said she would be back within seven days. Madam, please rest assured that Ah Si will be protecting them."
It turns out that Sister Yu didn't come back because she wanted to go out.
Regarding the precognitive dream, Jiang Yunwan felt that Song Yu did not tell her everything and seemed to have kept some things back.
I wonder if she learned from the Song family in her dream that she was not their child?
I don't want to give away the daughter I raised.
She and Song Mingen had no children after their marriage. Two years later, Chen Chunhua went to another county to visit Song Mingzhu. When she came back, she had a baby in her arms, Yu Jie'er.
Chen Chunhua said that she picked up the child when she passed by a mass grave on the way back. She felt sorry for the child and brought the child home because they didn't have any children.
Let them raise the child as their own, and maybe she and Ming En will have their own children.
When Jiang Yunwan thinks back to Chen Chunhua's expression, her eyes were full of longing.
The reason why she could say such a thing might be that Chen Chunhua and her father-in-law had no children after their marriage, so she picked up Ming'en and raised him as her own child. Three years later, she had the twin brother and sister Song Mingzhu and Song Minglang.
It’s a pity that she and Ming’en never had children.
Maybe it was because she fell off a cliff and there was a river at the bottom of the cliff.
She floated in the river for three days, and it was late autumn, which damaged her roots and made it impossible for her to conceive.
I also sought medical advice, but there was no improvement at all.
She never came to see the doctor again after she had Sister Yu. What does it matter if they are not related by blood? Sister Yu is her child.
Now Sister Yu may know that she is not their child.
She suddenly became anxious. What if Sister Yu went looking for her biological parents one day?
Is she going on a long trip this time...?
Won't!
Now that their family of three has not yet survived the crisis, Jiang Yunwan does not allow herself to have any wild thoughts.
Song Yu and his group traveled day and night, and at noon on the third day they arrived at the Banshan Yunyin Inn, where their family of three had died in their previous life.
It is still eighty miles away from Xuancheng Post Station. In their previous life, they arrived here in the evening.
"Miss, are we stopping here before continuing north?"
Song Yu shook his head slightly. "Let's stay here for one night. We'll return tomorrow morning."
Bai Lan was surprised. "Are we just coming here to stay for one night and then go back without doing anything?"
Song Yu smiled and said, "How is that possible? You'll know later."
As they were talking, the master and servant entered the inn, and Ah Si parked the carriage and followed them in.
The shopkeeper saw that the visitor was dressed in ordinary clothes, but the fabrics of his clothes were all good materials, so he must be a wealthy man, so he greeted him with a smile.
"Sir, please come in."
Bai Lan asked, "How much is this upper room?"
"Ten taels."
"What?" Ah Si stepped forward, sword in hand, his tone icy, his eyes piercing the shopkeeper's gaze. "Ten taels per room, upper room. Are you sure?"
Those who can open an inn in the wilderness are very courageous people. What kind of monsters and demons have they not seen?
The shopkeeper wasn't frightened, but instead had a warm expression. "Our upper rooms at Banshan Yunyin are ten taels a room, the middle rooms are five taels a room, and the lower rooms are three taels a room. The hot and humid bunk bed is only ten cents. It's no worse than the inns in Xuancheng, and it's already a reasonable price."
Song Yu smiled and said it was indeed a fair price.
In their previous life, when they came to stay here, the upper room cost thirty taels per room. They really know how to treat people differently.
"Two upper rooms."
"Miss." Ah Si interrupted hurriedly, "Come to one of the upper rooms. I'll sleep in the carriage."
He was reluctant to sleep in a room that cost ten taels per room, as he wanted to save money for the eldest lady.
Song Yu said, "We're in the wilderness here. What if bandits come to the inn at night and rob, kill, or burn us? You have to live next door to protect us at all times."
"Miss, don't be afraid. This place is very close to Xuancheng Post Station. There are no bandits nearby. If there are any bandits, they would have to cross more than 20 hills. And we are able to open an inn here because we all have some martial arts skills."
The innkeeper was worried that Song Yu and his companions would go to the Xuancheng Post Station, so he tried harder to dispel Song Yu's worries. "...Our Banshan Yunyin Inn has been open here for fifteen years and there have been no bandits. You can stay here with peace of mind."
Sure enough, those bandits and horse thieves in the previous life were arranged by her aunt, or to be more precise, by her uncle Wu Lingheng, who was an official.
"Then let's get two upper rooms, two upper rooms next to each other."
The shopkeeper smiled happily, "Okay, Miss, please come upstairs."
Thinking of the fire in his previous life, which burned down half of the building in Banshan Yunyin, he said to the innkeeper: "It's getting hotter and hotter today, and the weather is dry. The inn must pay attention to water leakage."
The shopkeeper was a little dazed for a moment. Looking at Song Yu, who was the same size as his own daughter, he thought she was a little strange.
He caught a glimpse of the Buddhist beads on her wrist and understood. "Thank you for the reminder, Miss. I'll have someone prepare a large water tank in the yard."
"One mouthful is not enough. To be on the safe side, it's best to prepare a few more large water tanks and fill them up with water."
Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Oh, okay."
Song Yu walked up the stairs and passed by several waiters who were working with their heads down.
The fire in the previous life not only engulfed my father, but also the shopkeeper, several waiters, and several inn guards!
In this life, not only do we have to expose the true faces of the Song family, but we also have to protect the lives of these innocent people.
After a quick wash and a full meal, Song Yu called Bai Lan and Asi to his side.
He asked them to each take a detoxification pill, and then asked them to wear cloth masks soaked in medicinal herbs and rush to a forest entrance twenty miles southwest of Banshan Yunyin.
At the entrance is a stone tablet erected by the government, which reads, "Poisonous! Do not enter, or you will die!"
