Chapter 38 Duan Xinrong
Yuxi was very happy, she didn't expect Duan Xinrong to be the daughter of Du Yushi's family. Although Duan Xinrong was not saved by her, but with this relationship, they will be able to deal with each other in the future.
Yuxi turned several times in her mind, and asked: "Sister Xinrong, how did you fall into the hands of the kidnapper?" In fact, Yuxi was looking for something to talk about, and she heard about the whole process from Yunqing.
Duan Xinrong still has lingering fears: "My brother and I were looking at the lightship, but suddenly a few men in black came out, and they hacked and killed many people. Everyone ran for their lives, and my brother and I were separated. A man appeared out of nowhere, picked me up and left, I struggled desperately, but the man covered my mouth with a handkerchief, and I passed out without knowing anything."
Well, met a professional kidnapper. Yuxi felt that Duan Xinrong was lucky, if it wasn't for Yunqing's rescue, she might not know where she was abducted and sold by the kidnapper. Even if he can be saved in the future, this life is over.
The Duan family came soon. When Mrs. Duan saw Duan Xinrong, she cried while hugging her. After she knew her daughter was missing, she almost died of fright.
Yuxi looked enviously at the mother and daughter who hugged and cried bitterly. So, a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a grass!
Mrs. Duan was also too emotional, so she lost control for a while, and soon realized that she was in someone else's house. Immediately said embarrassingly: "Let Madam laugh."
Qiu very considerately ordered someone to bring water, let Mrs. Duan wash her face, and said with a smile: "Whoever is a joke is not a joke, they are all mothers. I just found out that there was a disturbance at the Lantern Festival. I was scared out of my wits." Fortunately, Bodhisattva blesses them, and they are all safe and sound." Qiu knew Mrs. Duan, but the two of them were not in the same circle, so they didn't know each other well.
After Madam Duan finished washing and washing, she said: "Our family's Xin Rong is thanks to the family." If something happened to my daughter, she would not be able to live.
Naturally, the Qiu family did not dare to claim credit: "It was the eldest brother of the Yun family who rescued Xin Rong, and the children of my family just helped."
Mrs. Duan was grateful for giving her a helping hand.
Duan Xinrong was also terrified today, what she wants most now is to go home: "Mom, I want to go home." Being in someone else's house, she always feels uneasy.
Mrs. Duan looked at the panic on her daughter's face, felt distressed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's go home." Immediately, she said goodbye to Qiu Shi and went back.
It was already very late at this time, and Qiu Shi did not keep her. After sending Madam Duan and Duan Xinrong away, Qiu Shi said to Yu Xi: "The Lantern Festival is too dangerous, I can't go again in the future."
Yuxi felt that if there was a chance, she still had to go. But she is very knowledgeable about current affairs, so she dare not say anything to refute at this time, otherwise she will definitely be punished.
The next day, Yuxi went to the Upper Court to greet the old lady.
On the way, I met Yuchen. Yuchen smiled and asked: "Fourth sister, I heard from the servant girl that you saved the girl from Ducha Yushi's family. Is this true?" He is the leader, but he also has a lot of power.
Yu Xi shook her head, and told Yu Chen the ins and outs of the matter: "We just helped, we didn't save anyone."
The old lady was very satisfied with Yuxi's initiative to bring the Duan family girl to the Duke's mansion. Even if they didn't save people, they still helped. With this relationship, we can move around a lot in the future. Although they are the government of the state, they have little power in the court. Being able to establish a relationship with the powerful officials in the court is very good for the future of the youngest son: "In the future, I will walk more with the girls of the Duan family."
How could Yuxi not know what the old lady was planning. Of course, the reason why she asked to help last night was because she saw Duan Xinrong's extraordinary background and wanted to get more help. The old lady's proposal hit her right.
It was rare for the old lady to see Yuxi so obedient and obedient, and when she was happy, she rewarded Yuxi with a ruler, jewelry, some supplements, and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The old lady took out the things in her hand,
That's all very valuable.
Yuxi didn't feel much. Compared with the news Yuchen got, she didn't read enough. But something is better than nothing.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, she ran directly to the main courtyard. As soon as I arrived at the main courtyard, I heard that the Duan family had sent a thank you gift.
When Yuxi entered the room, the woman in charge of the Duan family was apologetically saying to Qiu Shi: "My wife should have come to thank me in person, but my girl was frightened yesterday and had a fever in the middle of the night, so she couldn't leave. Madam, please don't blame me."
Qiu Shi couldn't blame her, and said: "It's just a matter of helping hands. How can I give such a heavy gift? Madam Duan is too polite."
What Yuxi didn't expect was that the thank you gift from Duan's family was given to Yuxi alone. Looking at the gifts piled up on the table, Yuxi smiled and ordered: "Register all these things." Turning around, she ordered Hongshan to ask her third brother to inquire about the news outside. There were assassins yesterday, and there must be a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys today.
Hongshan quickly told Yuxi about the investigation: "Girl, the tenth prince was assassinated by an assassin, and the emperor was very furious, and ordered the Minister of Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case."
Yuxi asked: "What else?" This matter must involve many people.
Hongshan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Right now, there are rumors that the 60th prince was assassinated, and the chief ambassador was the crown prince, and the Zhennan General's residence is also inseparable." It is also the biggest backer of the prince.
A sneer crossed the corner of Yu Xi's mouth, the prince is not a fool, how could he send killers to kill the tenth prince with great fanfare. Both the Tenth Prince and the Ninth Prince were born to Concubine Song, but it was the Ninth Prince, not the Tenth Prince, who was loved by the emperor. If the prince really wanted to kill him, he should kill the ninth prince who won the emperor's heart. How could it be possible to go to such lengths to kill the tenth prince.
Hongshan said with some concern: "Girl, do you still want to inquire about the outside news?" Hongshan felt that Yuxi was too keen on the outside affairs, what would a girl in a boudoir want to know about the outside affairs. Hongshan is worried that Yuxi's behavior will make the old lady dissatisfied.
Yuxi felt that Hongshan was worrying too much, and said, "I just inquired about the outside affairs, whether I did anything else, grandma won't care. You don't need to go back every day in the future, just go back in three to five days."
Hongshan nodded and said, "Okay."
Yuxi waved Hongshan out, but she sat on a chair thinking about something. In the previous life, the ninth prince had an accident, and only the tenth prince could be crowned the Great Treasure. As for what happened to the Ninth Prince, Yu Xi didn't know. Yuxi always felt that her previous life was wasted, she didn't know anything, she didn't understand anything, no wonder she was bullied to death by the Jiang family in the end.
Thinking of the Jiang family, Yuxi was in a bad mood again. She is studying so hard now because she wants to get rid of the fate of marrying into the Jiang family in the future. But she couldn't really get rid of the Jiang family, because she didn't even know why Jiang Hongjin married her? If she knew the reason, she could be prepared, but she is still at a loss. This feeling is bad. It's like a sword hanging over your head all the time, it will fall on your head at any time, but you can't avoid it, and you are worried all day long.
Cough, Yuxi sighed, what she can do now is to learn more useful things. At that time, even if they drift outside, they will be able to survive.
