NOVEL NEXT Chapter 31 Xiao Jing’s shock
Xiao Jing looked depressed and kicked the excited Jiang Xue out of the tent. He paced back and forth in the camp. He wanted to go to Yizhou Mansion immediately to ask Yuan Chuyi for clarification, but the military affairs were urgent at the moment. After much thought, he decided to deal with official business first. After five days, he finished everything before heading to Yizhou. city.
He led the five guards non-stop and arrived at Yizhou City at noon the next day. When he saw the smiling woman in front of her greeting guests, he couldn't help but stop and looked at her from a distance with extremely complicated emotions.
Qiao Liang didn't know why they stopped suddenly. There was a strong fragrance coming from the distance, which made him look around. When he saw the female shopkeeper who was greeting the customers, he immediately became excited and pulled Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue, I see the person who is the jade pendant!"
He pointed at the snack bar, "That's the guy in blue clothes in front of the snack bar!"
Xiao Jing glanced at Qiao Liang coldly and asked angrily, "Are you sure it's her?"
"Sure, sure, the little one must be her!" Qiao Liang said hurriedly.
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi with a smile on his face from a distance and rode back to Xiao Mansion.
Ziyun Academy in the city.
Ziyun Academy is the largest academy in Yizhou Prefecture. It has strong teachers and government funding. It is the dream college for students in Yizhou Prefecture. Many students are proud to study in this college.
Twenty-five-year-old Yuan Honghao is the most intelligent member of the Yuan family in the past ten years. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of sixteen or seventeen and ranked among the best in the academy. He is now preparing for the autumn of next year. Among the hundreds of students in the academy, he is one of the most favored ones.
He had already gone home for vacation, but today he was suddenly called back to the college, saying that someone was looking for him. He came to the college reception room, but it was empty.
He called out but no one answered. Just when he was wondering whether to go back, the door suddenly slammed shut, and a low and cold voice came: "I will ask you a question below, please answer it truthfully."
Yuan Honghao was so frightened that he took a few steps back and followed the sound, only to find a tall figure vaguely emerging from behind the screen in the room.
"I'm Yuan Honghao! What do you want to ask?" he asked bravely.
"More than a month ago, was a girl from your Yuan family sent back to her hometown from the capital? Who is she and what is her relationship with your Yuan family? Tell the truth!"
Yuan Honghao couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. Why are there still people asking about that girl? Did she get into trouble outside? Will the Yuan family be implicated?
"I wonder who you are? Why do you want to ask about this?"
"You only need to answer, there is no need to ask questions!" Before the man finished speaking, Yuan Honghao felt a strong wind coming, hitting his feet, causing him to kneel on the ground involuntarily!
Yuan Honghao was horrified, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and told the truth that Yuan Chuyi had an affair with someone, got pregnant, and was sent back to his hometown.
"Who in your Yuan family is an official in the court?" This was something Xiao Jing couldn't understand. In his impression, there was no current official with the surname Yuan. A sudden name flashed through his mind, "Could it be?" Yuan Wenjing, the former Hanlin scholar?"
Yuan Honghao nodded hurriedly and said yes, "Yuan Chuyi is Lord Yuan's direct granddaughter!"
"You lied!" Xiao Jing said coldly. He had already seen the list of the rich families who attended the palace banquet that night, and the name Yuan Chuyi did not exist at all!
"Yuan Chuyi is the eldest daughter of Master Yuan's second son Yuan Hongbin. Her parents died more than ten years ago. It is said that the three siblings are very unpopular in Yuan Mansion. Almost no one outside knows about them. exist!"
Yuan Honghao finished speaking in a panic, and then said hurriedly, "My lord, the three siblings of Yuanchu have been expelled from the Yuan family and have nothing to do with our Yuan family. Everything she has done has nothing to do with our Yuan family! If she has offended you, it has nothing to do with our Yuan family, so please be noble and let the Yuan family go!"
Xiao Jing sneered, this approach is very in line with the practices of those so-called famous families. In their eyes, only the family's reputation is the only thing. The children in the family are all chess pieces. They can be used by the family and they will try their best to cultivate them. If they are useless, they will immediately become abandoned. Expelled from the family.
But if Master Yuan knew that Yuan Chuyi was pregnant with his Prince An's child, I don't know what choice he would make! But now it is a foregone conclusion that Yuan Chuyi will be expelled from the family, and she can no longer become a pawn of the Yuan family.
After finding out Yuan Chuyi's life experience, Xiao Jing's figure quickly disappeared behind the screen.
three days later.
In the past three days, Yuan Chuyi has been busy selling her spicy hotpot and newly launched bean curd sticks. This yuba has now become an ingredient that everyone in the city is rushing to buy. It is not only delicious when fried, but also delicious when cooked in hot pot. It is one of the must-have ingredients in restaurants in the city.
Several shops in the city quickly found Yuan Chuyi, signed purchase and sale contracts with her, and sold the yuba to various nearby counties. The market for yuba soon opened up, and Yuan Chuyi also added manual processing.
In the past few days, Xiao Jing has been secretly observing Yuan Chuyi while waiting for letters from the capital.
That afternoon, a letter from a flying pigeon was finally delivered to him. The letter came from the capital. After reading the letter, he finally knew why he appeared at the palace banquet on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. It turned out that he was brought in as a maid to serve.
Lou Xingyun also breathed a long sigh of relief, indicating that he followed his father's wishes and found an ordinary maid to cure his love poison that night.
Xiao Jing was troubled, "We have been looking for the jade pendant and her whereabouts. Why did she hide the jade pendant and not hand it over? If she had handed over the jade pendant from the beginning, I could have justifiably taken her into the palace and placed her there!" Now...she is pregnant and has been expelled from the family...how should she and the child in her belly be accommodated now?"
"Go directly to Mrs. Yuan and tell her that I am the father of the child in her belly?" Leng Shuanghua said carefully and tentatively.
"Then what?" Lou Xingyun looked at Leng Shuanghua.
"Then marry her back! She cooks delicious food! If I marry her, we will have delicious food to eat every day!" said the fourth child, Luo Feihua.
"Ms. Yuan's medical skills are also good. If I marry her back, I can also discuss medical skills with her in the future!" Fang Wuyan also said.
"In this way, when the child in Lady Yuan's belly is born in the future, he can legitimately become the prince of the palace, and the blood of the palace will not be lost outside!" Lao San also said.
Xiao Jing frowned and looked at Lou Xingyun.
"When I asked you to wait outside the door for her to wake up, where did you go?"
"That's not because there were assassins. I was worried about the safety of you and the emperor, so I ran to find you. Who knew she would be gone when I came back!" Lou Xingyun said carefully, stood up and knelt down on one knee to salute and apologize, "Yes. If your subordinates do things poorly, please punish me!"
Xiao Jing sighed, motioned for him to stand up, and looked at the five people, "Who was the person who plotted against me that night?"
"Not found! But..." Lou Xingyun said, hesitating for a long time, "I suspect it's the Holy One!"
"Ah!" The four guards were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Xiao Jing thought for a moment and sighed. He already knew the answer in his heart and stood up, "Go to Xishan Village to see Xuan Yue!"
