Chapter 332

On the other side, Linyang City.

Yun Xiaoxiao's illness lasted for five days. By the time Yun Xiaoxiao basically recovered, it was already the last day of the year.

News spread in the city early in the morning that there would be a fireworks show tonight. Unable to see Yun Xiaoxiao depressed, Rong Heng took Yun Xiaoxiao and a few girls out after dinner.

Linyang City is already rich, and today is the end of the year. The fireworks festival is as lively as Shengjing, but Yun Xiaoxiao was absent-minded throughout the whole process.

The next day was the beginning of the new year. Rong Heng gave Yun Xiaoxiao a red envelope of five hundred taels, and Yun Xiaoxiao had a rare smile on her face.

In the entire Dachu, there was only one Yun Xiaoxiao who could make Rong Heng spend such a large amount of money.

After the New Year atmosphere dissipated, Yun Xiaoxiao resumed her days of living in a house and a teahouse. In order to hear the content she was interested in, Yun Xiaoxiao also gave the teahouse owner a reward of one hundred taels of silver and asked the storyteller by name. In the next few days, my husband talked about Chu Lingyuan.

The teahouse owner thought that Yun Xiaoxiao was a loyal supporter of Chu Lingyuan, so even if he agreed, only a fool would disagree with the matter of gaining both fame and fortune.

After the whole first month passed, Rong Heng felt that calluses were about to form in his ears. He didn't understand that Yun Xiaoxiao wouldn't be annoyed if it was Chu Lingyuan every day?

However, before Rong Heng could ask, Yun Xiaoxiao disappeared into Linyang City again at night.

There was no particular reason, it was just that I was tired of staying in one place, so I wanted to go somewhere else.

What's more, Yun Yichen and Shen Suyu's wedding is coming soon, and she should be ready to return to Shengjing.

Rong Heng didn't know anything about Yun Xiaoxiao's considerations. He only knew that when he woke up, his apprentice was gone again.

Rong Heng felt that his head was about to explode, then he packed up his things hastily and then chased after him again.

It's really hard to live a peaceful life for a few days after taking in such a disciple.

After seven or eight days of sightseeing, Yun Xiaoxiao finally arrived in Yuncheng on the night of February 12th.

Although the Yun family has moved back to Shengjing, the city lord's mansion has not changed much. The housekeeper and all the servants are still there.

Yun Xiaoxiao returned to her yard, replenished the reserves she had spent before, and then called her confidants to ask about Shengjing's current situation.

I learned from my confidants that Shen Qing had been sending people to look for herself and Rong Heng these days.

When Yun Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew something was wrong. She rested for a night and rode towards Shengjing early the next morning.

On the afternoon of February 15th, Yun Xiaoxiao arrived in Shengjing.

Because the auspicious time for Yun Yichen and Shen Juyu's wedding was in the evening, Yun Xiaoxiao went directly to the Yining Hou Mansion, but in vain.

After Lu Yan went to the frontier, Shen Qing did move to the Yining Marquis Mansion for a while, but just moved back.

After learning from Shen Yi'an that Shen Qing was looking for him and Rong Heng, he wanted to go to the border to investigate the matter of five thousand soldiers who were 'poisoned' and fell into coma, so Yun Xiaoxiao did not go to Prince Jing'an's Mansion again.

First, Rong Heng knew more about matters involving Southern Xinjiang than she did, but according to her guess, Rong Heng would have to arrive at night, so there was no rush; second, it was already getting late, and she had to rush to Pingyang first. Uncle's Mansion.

Because Shen Yi'an's people led the way, Yun Xiaoxiao arrived at Pingyang Uncle's Mansion smoothly.

The auspicious time was approaching, and many guests came to watch the ceremony, so the appearance of Yun Xiaoxiao, a new face, did not attract much attention.

Yun Xiaoxiao was just about to look for Mrs. Yun when she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye——

Chu Lingyuan.

He was not wearing a dragon robe, but a blue brocade robe. He was sitting so casually in the corner, like a big bad wolf waiting for the little white rabbit to appear.

Giving up on the idea of ​​looking for Mrs. Yun, Yun Xiaoxiao found a familiar girl to take her to the backyard.

By coincidence, Mrs. Yun was checking the wedding room for Shen Suyu and Yun Yichen in the backyard.

When she saw Yun Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Yun's face was filled with joy. She first took Yun Xiaoxiao's hand and inspected her carefully. After seeing that she was safe and sound, she asked her with concern where she had been these days.

Yun Xiaoxiao briefly explained to Mrs. Yun that she would still leave after today. Mrs. Yun was a little disappointed, but she didn't stop her.

"Xiaoxiao, when you go out in the future, remember to send more letters home so that we can feel at ease."

Yun Xiaoxiao agreed. Madam Yun just wanted to take Yun Xiaoxiao to the front yard, but Yun Xiaoxiao refused. The guilty look on her face made Madam Yun a little suspicious.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Yun Xiaoxiao coughed lightly: "Mom, I'm a little tired from traveling these days. I want to take a break. You go first. I'll make sure to be there when you salute later."

Mrs. Yun did not doubt his presence and left with her personal maid.

Let the girl who just led him the way go about her business, while Yun Xiaoxiao started walking around the house.

This was the first time she had seen the new residence of Pingyang Bofu.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Yun Xiaoxiao always feels that the layout of Pingyang Uncle's Mansion is very similar to the Yun family's previous residence in the City Lord's Mansion.

Yun Xiaoxiao turned around half a circle, and when she heard the deafening sound of firecrackers outside, she knew that Yun Yichen had come back to welcome the bride, so she immediately took two quick steps towards the front yard.

On the way here, Yun Xiaoxiao also deliberately walked to some places where no one would notice, just to not meet Chu Lingyuan.

In a corner of the front yard, Yun Xiaoxiao was hidden among the crowd, and at a glance he saw Yun Yichen with a happy face.

He held the red silk in his hand, and his eyes kept lingering on the bride beside him.

Her brother got married, and married the girl he liked. Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.

After the ceremony, Yun Xiaoxiao disappeared into the crowd again, and then avoided the crowd and went to the backyard.

She quietly broke into the wedding room, handed the gift she had prepared long ago to Shen Shuyu, and left a sentence "I wish my sister-in-law and brother a happy wedding", and Yun Xiaoxiao turned and left.

Even though she was in her own home, Yun Xiaoxiao was as cautious as a thief, as if she was afraid of being discovered by outsiders.

When she returned to the front yard, Chu Lingyuan's figure was gone. Yun Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and met with everyone in the Yun family.

Yun Han and his son were busy toasting, and Yun Xiaoxiao gave a good talk to Mr. Yun, asking him to take good care of his body, and at the same time, she didn't forget to bring him a small gift.

A delicate sand pot with cloud patterns carved on it.

Mr. Yun's face was full of happy smiles because his precious granddaughter cared about him.

Yun Xiaoxiao told Mr. Yun that she had something important to say to Shen Qing, and then she was ready to leave.

Madam Yun knew that she didn't know when she would come back, so she quickly asked the maid to take out 10,000 taels of silver notes and stuffed them into Yun Xiaoxiao's arms, "Although you have traveled a lot with the genius doctor Rong Heng over the years, you are a girl after all. Mother is always worried that you don't eat well or sleep well. Bring more silver with you when you go out, and don't wrong yourself outside, understand?"

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, mother, with Master here, everything is fine for my daughter."

Seeing the reluctance in Madam Yun's eyes, Yun Xiaoxiao finally softened her heart, "Xiaoxiao promised you that she will definitely come back to spend the reunion festival with you this year."

Madam Yun smiled, patted the back of Yun Xiaoxiao's hand, and after a few more words of "be careful", she personally sent her out of the house.

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and waved goodbye to Madam Yun, and then walked alone towards the direction of Jing'an Palace.

The two mansions were not far from each other, only separated by two streets, and it would only take 25 minutes to walk there.

However, when passing a sparsely populated area, a figure suddenly approached from behind, and before Yun Xiaoxiao could react, he forcefully pulled her into the dark.
