Chapter 586: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 7
Zheng Yunxi saw Aunt Xu and her people returning to the fire scene where the smell of fireworks still lingered, so he stopped paying attention to them.
The appearance of Aunt Xu meant that even if the old lady knew that Zheng Yuejin was the one who did it, she would help cover it up.
With the old lady hiding behind them, even if Zheng Xingyao and Madam Hou knew that it was Zheng Yuejin who did it, it would not be easy to deal with her.
The next morning, when Zheng Xingyao woke up slowly, someone immediately went to report to the old lady.
The old lady rushed over and saw Zheng Xingyao woke up. Her eyes were full of concern. She held her hand and asked her about her well-being.
After Zheng Xingyao repeatedly assured her that she was completely fine, the old lady led the three sisters to the main hall to light three incense sticks.
Near noon, the Marquis's wife, accompanied by several servants, rushed to Puguang Temple.
As soon as I calculated the time, I knew that the Marquis's wife had come at full speed.
"Mother is fine."
She first bowed deeply to the old lady, her voice slightly hoarse.
Her eyes followed Zheng Xingyao carefully, and when she saw Zheng Xingyao standing there safe and sound, her tense body relaxed instantly.
She closed her eyes slightly, took a long breath, and soon regained her dignified demeanor as the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.
"I received a message early this morning saying there was a fire in the temple and Xingyao was unconscious. My wife is very worried.
The person who reported back didn't explain everything clearly, but now that I see my mother and children are fine, I can finally put my mind at ease."
Although the Marquis's wife was filled with anger about this matter, she did not show it on her face.
The people she had planted had already explained the whole story clearly, so she knew the connection between the two.
But since the matter has been suppressed by the old lady, nothing can be done openly.
But there is a long way to go. Who says that if it is not possible in public, it means that we cannot seek justice for our daughter in private?
The old lady also knew that she was in the wrong, but she felt that everything was for the Marquis' Mansion. Although Zheng Xingyao was wronged in this matter, she could compensate her in other ways.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine, but I'm afraid Xingyao must have been quite frightened this time.
To be honest, this happened because you accompanied me, an old woman, to burn incense.
After we get back, give the Pearl and Jade Feather to Xingyao to calm her down."
Zhu Cui Yu is a jewelry store that is very famous in Kyoto. This store was the old lady's dowry shop.
It was obvious that the old lady wanted to use this shop that made a fortune every day to ask Madam Hou and Zheng Xingyao not to pursue the matter any further.
The Marquis's wife sneered in her heart. She wanted to give away such a small amount of things. Her daughter almost died in the fire. How could a shop make up for it? She was dreaming too much.
But she still had a decent smile on her face and said, "How can I blame my mother for this? No one could have imagined such a thing would happen.
Xingyao, why don't you thank your grandmother quickly? You must manage the shop well in the future and don't let your grandmother's efforts go to waste."
Although Zheng Xingyao also felt that what happened last night was strange, she knew that her mother would not harm her, so she bowed obediently to the old lady and then acted coquettishly for a while.
The old lady also did not forget Zheng Yuejin and Zheng Yunxi, and said that after returning home, they should both come to her to get a set of headgear to calm their nerves.
On the surface, the matter was over and everyone was in harmony.
That night, Mrs. Hou did not leave Puguang Temple.
On the morning of July 16th, at dawn, everyone rode in a carriage back to the city.
This time when she returned to the city, Zheng Yuejin did not invite Zheng Yunxi and Zheng Xingyao to ride in her carriage.
The arrangement for the trip was that the old lady would ride in a carriage alone, Zheng Xingyao and the marquis' wife would ride in one, and Zheng Yuejin and Zheng Yunxi would each ride in a carriage, each with their own maid.
On the way back, the convoy continued to move forward slowly.
After all, the old lady is old and the dirt road is bumpy. If the speed is too fast, she will definitely not be able to bear it.
When they were halfway through the journey, Zheng Yuejin suddenly felt a nauseous pain in her stomach. Her face turned red, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. She quickly asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
Originally, Zheng Yunxi's carriage was at the end of the team, but at this time the carriages of the old lady and the marquis' wife in front had already gone far away.
Zheng Yunxi stuck her head out and said with fake concern, "Big sister, I'll wait for you to go together."
Even though Zheng Yuejin lived another life, she was still a lady from a noble family at heart.
She was already ashamed to have to relieve herself in such a remote place, and if she made her sister wait for her, she would be extremely embarrassed.
She quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't bother me, Third Sister. I'm very fast and will catch up in a moment. You, Grandma, Mother and the others can go first. I'll be there soon."
In fact, Zheng Yunxi was just being polite. It was such a hot day and she didn't want to delay on the road any longer.
He was eager to leave quickly, so he told the driver to keep driving and drove away in a cloud of dust.
In fact, Zheng Yunxi had other concerns in her heart. She was afraid that she would face revenge from the Marquis's wife next.
Yesterday, someone's daughter almost died in the fire. Now in this wilderness, with such a good opportunity, she doesn't believe that the Marquis's wife will let it go.
As expected, Zheng Yunxi's carriage had just gone away, and Zheng Yuejin came back after taking care of her urgent need. Just as she was about to get on the carriage to continue her journey, a group of ruffians suddenly emerged from all directions and surrounded her.
The leading thug said with a playful smile: "Miss, why are you here alone in the wilderness? Are you in trouble? Don't be afraid, my dear. We brothers are always willing to help."
The look in his eyes was looking at Zheng Yuejin unscrupulously, obviously with ill intentions.
Zheng Yuejin didn't want to conflict with them, so even though she was stared at unreasonably by these people, she endured it to avoid putting herself in a more dangerous situation.
She forced herself to remain calm and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, warriors. However, I have already solved the problem here, but I can't let your kindness go to waste."
"Baoqin, give some money to the warriors. I'll treat you to tea."
Baoqin knew that it was not appropriate to say too much at this time, and the most urgent thing was to get rid of these people.
She hurriedly took out a bulging purse from her bag and handed it to the leading thug.
The ruffian took the purse, weighed it in his hand, put it in his arms, exchanged glances with the others, and said with a malicious smile, "Miss, you are too polite. We will soon become a family. Why are you so polite?"
Baoqin immediately stood in front of Zheng Yuejin, her eyes filled with fear and vigilance, and shouted, "What do you mean? My young lady treats you with great courtesy, are you still not satisfied?"
