Xiao Anzi was somewhat surprised, wondering why Shen Yunxi would say such a thing. In the entire palace, if she wanted to inquire about someone, she only needed to say a word to the Empress Dowager or the Emperor.
Even though she was very confused, Xiao Anzi still agreed, "Miss Yunxi, please speak freely. Who do you wish to ask about?"
Shen Yunxi smiled before speaking, "It's nothing major, I just wanted to tell Eunuch An that a young eunuch helped me a while ago, and I hope Eunuch An can help me out. I overheard someone mention his name was Sixi, I wonder if Eunuch An has heard of this eunuch?"
“In reply to Miss Yunxi, this servant has indeed never heard of a eunuch named Sixi, after all, there are simply too many eunuchs in the palace. However, since Miss Yunxi has mentioned him, and given that he has helped Miss Yunxi before, this servant will naturally keep an eye out for him. If he ever needs anything, this servant will certainly help him, Miss Yunxi, please rest assured,” Xiao Anzi said.
Shen Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. In her previous life, she had a very difficult time in the palace, but Si Xi helped her, even though he himself was not doing well.
Unfortunately, all she knew was that his name was Sixi, and nothing else. She didn't even know if Sixi had entered the palace.
The reason Shen Yunxi told Xiao Anzi was that if Sixi had already entered the palace, she would ask him to help take care of him. If he hadn't entered the palace yet, that would be even better, as she also hoped that he could be a proper and upright man.
If Sixi has already entered the palace, then with the head eunuch of Cining Palace taking care of him, his life will definitely be much easier.
Moreover, if the Empress Dowager knew that Sixi had helped her, she would definitely have someone take care of him. It's just that she doesn't know whether he has actually come in or not, and she still hopes that he hasn't.
"Thank you, Eunuch An," Shen Yunxi said.
Xiao Anzi quickly waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, Miss Yunxi, you don't need to take it to heart. Miss Yunxi, you should go back and rest. You don't look well, Her Majesty will be worried."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Shen Yunxi agreed and turned back to her room; she did indeed need a good rest.
Her body was fine, but she was a little mentally exhausted, still because of dealing with Junxuan. This person still had an impact on her, but she had minimized the impact.
After resting, Shen Yunxi stayed in the palace for another night, and the next day she massaged the Empress Dowager for a long time before leaving the palace.
As soon as they returned to the Shen family home, before they even stepped through the gate, Zhizhi hurriedly came out.
"Zhizhi? What's the matter that you're so panicked?" Shen Yunxi asked.
At this hour, Chongyin should still be at court. Something must have happened that forced Zhizhi to come out.
The moment Zhizhi saw Shen Yunxi, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a flustered voice, "Miss, you're finally back! The Marquis hasn't returned yet, and I don't know what to do."
"Tell me slowly what exactly happened," Shen Yunxi said, anxious for Zhizhi.
When Zhizhi saw Shen Yunxi, she saw her pillar of support, and only then did she calm down and speak to Shen Yunxi.
“Miss, you don’t know this, but this morning, the Third Miss’s personal maid, Hongxiu, came running back covered in injuries, begging Madam to save the Third Miss, saying that if she was late, the Third Miss would be gone. Madam has already gone to the Jiang family, but Cai’er and I were worried that Madam would be bullied by the Jiang family, so Cai’er went to the Jiang family with her, and I was going to inform you, Miss. Fortunately, you’ve returned, otherwise I would have had to wait to deliver the message to you, and I don’t know how long that would have taken.” Zhizhi finally finished speaking, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yunxi's face darkened, and she made no attempt to conceal her hostility. "So this is the Jiang family! Go and give the order immediately to take twenty servants and come with me to the Jiang family!"
Zhizhi looked surprised. "Miss, are we going to cause trouble at the Jiang family's house?"
"Troublemakers! They dare to lay a hand on my sister! I'll beat them to a pulp! Tell the servants that anyone who performs well today will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. With the Empress Dowager backing me up, I have nothing to fear!" Shen Yunxi sneered.
I can only blame myself for being too foolish in my past life. I had such a powerful backer, yet I chose to create trouble for myself and dared not speak out when I was wronged.
Otherwise, the other members of the Shen family wouldn't have bullied them so much.
Those so-called relatives are just using the name of family to leech off others; there's no need to care about them at all.
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away," Zhizhi replied immediately.
Although Shen Yunxi was extremely anxious, she knew she couldn't rush things. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage from the Jiang family on her own. She still needed to bring people with her so that she could speak with more authority. She still needed someone to back her up.
Fortunately, Zhizhi had a good memory and quickly gathered everyone together. The group headed towards the Jiang family in a grand procession.
At this moment, the Jiang family did not know that Shen Yunxi had brought people with her. Lan Pei had only brought two maids, and unsurprisingly, they were blocked outside Shen Qiuyan's courtyard.
Lanpei was equally furious, never expecting the Jiang family to be so disrespectful, even preventing her from visiting her daughter.
If Lan Pei had known earlier that the Jiang family was like this, she would never have married her daughter into the family.
With six servants in front of her, Lanpei certainly couldn't just rush over. Even though she wasn't young, there was a difference between men and women, and besides, her status wouldn't allow her to take action directly.
"How dare you! If you stop me again, don't blame me for being impolite!" Lan Pei sneered.
Originally, Lan Pei was the youngest daughter of Grand Secretary Lan and the one he loved the most. Even though Grand Secretary Lan has now retired to his hometown of Qingzhou to live out his retirement, it doesn't mean that everyone can bully Lan Pei.
Even though Grand Secretary Lan was not present, her elder brother was still in the court and had also entered the cabinet.
Therefore, Lampe spoke with great force.
The six servants were also a little nervous. They looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Although they were stopping Lan Pei, they didn't dare to actually make a move, otherwise they would definitely be in big trouble. They knew very well who Lan Pei was. She was the Lady of Yong'an Marquis, and she was not someone that servants like them would dare to offend casually. They were not tired of living.
“Madam, it’s not that we want to stop you, but we can’t let you in right now. Our old lady has given the order,” one of the servants said.
Lampe didn't want to make things difficult for them, understanding that these servants were simply following their master's orders.
But the person locked in the yard now is her daughter. According to Hongxiu, Shen Qiuyan has been locked in the house since noon yesterday and hasn't eaten a single bite of food. How could Lanpei not be anxious?
"I'll say it again, get out of my way, or don't blame me for being rude!"
