Chapter 13: The Ins and Outs
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Sure enough, the price of the 'Jiufeng Rejuvenating Cream' proposed by Dr. Hu is not small. He doesn't want gold, he doesn't want silver, he just needs a dowry from the son.
Of course, not everything in all thirty-six carriages, just a small one of them.
Xiao Yimeng was already in prison when he crossed over, where did he know anything about the dowry. But this thing made her think about the world's son Mu Chengyuki.
The purpose of Mu Cheng's prison robbery is not necessarily just for himself, but more likely to be that thing.
"My father has always been responsible for the dowry, and I don't know."
"There are so many dowry gifts, so naturally you don't know them all, not to mention that they have all been seized when the Xiao Mansion raided the house." Dr. Hu said with a smile.
"Now that it's sealed, I can't have it." Xiao Yimeng was a little deflated.
"Hehe, Miss Xiao really doesn't know? The dowry was not on the list of seizures, in other words, it had been hidden before the raid. ”
"Why should I hide?"
"Because it's different. Haha" Dr. Hu's eyes shone brightly.
But Xiao Yimeng is confused here, why is everyone asking about the whereabouts of that thing, doesn't anyone else know except himself?
"What the hell is it? The gods are mysterious. ”
"This treasure is a trophy obtained by King Wujing when he conquered the ancient Yue country in the south, and it is said to be the beloved thing of the queen of Guyue, which is very precious. This time, your Xiao family was raided, all the property was confiscated, and the only thing was missing, don't you say it's strange? “
Looking into Dr. Hu's eyes, he seemed to say: You don't know your dowry?
Xiao Yimeng felt that no matter what he said he didn't know, he wouldn't believe it anymore, not to mention that he still had something to ask for, so it was better to come down and talk about it.
"Well, I'll ask my father when I get a chance."
Doctor Hu pondered for a while, and said with a sad face: "Girl, don't you know that Ling Zun is no longer there?" ”
"What?" Xiao Yimeng pretended to be surprised, she seemed to hear such a mouth when she was under the city gate, but she didn't know the specific situation, so she just used his channel to learn more about her identity and background.
"Doctor Hu, could you please tell me, what happened at home?"
Dr. Hu sighed for a lifetime, and then briefly recounted the experience.
It turned out that Xiao Yimeng's "father" Xiao Anjie was the first assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the military department, and the commander-in-chief of the three battalions of Weijing, and was deeply valued by the first emperor, but he did not expect that after the death of the first emperor, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the status of the elder cabinet was declining day by day. Just ten days ago, the defendant rebelled, and now the saint has ordered to raid the house and destroy the door. Xiao Gekao and several ministers were executed before they could be interrogated, and all the family members and relatives were put in prison, and only a few three or two people escaped.
Wujing Wang Yuan made a marriage contract with the Xiao family, and half a month ago, he ordered the prince Mu Chengzhi to come to the dowry and ask for marriage. But as soon as the prince left on the front foot, there was a rebellion on the back foot, and Xiao Yimeng was the princess of Mu Cheng who had not passed the door.
After listening to the ins and outs, Xiao Yimeng had a rough idea in his heart, it seems that this Dr. Hu also didn't know that he was rescued by the son of the world and that he had become a slave. Fortunately, there is no mobile phone network in this world, otherwise nothing can be hidden. In addition to relying on his own fists and feet, he must always grasp the importance of news. I remember my father once said: Sometimes one piece of news is better than a thousand troops.
"Thank you, Dr. Hu, for telling me the truth, but let me think about where that treasure was hidden by my father. If you can ask for an elixir to restore your appearance, I will naturally thank you for it. ”
"I don't want anything but that thing." After speaking, Dr. Hu left with a meaningful smile.
The autumn sun shines through the windows, casting dappled shadows on the bookcase. Bian Yinwen, the bookcase, said with a little sad face: "I didn't expect such a big change in Miss Amon's family, it's really pitiful." ”
"Since it happened, what's the use of being sad, it's better to live well, so as not to worry about the departed relatives." Xiao Yimeng said resolutely, in fact, she really has nothing to be sad about, she doesn't know any relatives here, she doesn't have any feelings, she is more concerned about if she survives, and when the other people in Lanxiu Xuan know her identity and situation, she will not be afraid of herself, and it is difficult to say whether she will make other moths.
"Yin Wen, Tian Tian and Yuzhu, do they often bully you?"
"It's not bullying, they're always like that, and we're used to it with the girls in the other house."
"Then why didn't you let her search the house, is there any other reason besides mine?" Xiao Yimeng felt that Yin Wen was a little strange from last night to this morning, and would rather be bullied than be stopped from entering the house, the first time she met her, she didn't have such a big feeling, right?
"Yes, it's because ......" Yin Wen wanted to say but stopped.
"Because of what? Is it true that you stole it? ”
"No, it's really not, Miss Jun Xiu won't let me say it."
"It's okay if you don't say it, if someone comes in and searches in the future, I'll kick them out one by one."
"Don't, well, then I said, you must not tell anyone." Xiao Yinwen blushed and hesitated for a long time before she spoke.
There was indeed something hidden in the house, but it was not a flowing gold hairpin, but a piece of prisoner ox jade pendant. It was picked up by Jun Xiu during a trip, and at the same time as he found it, he saw Yuzhu and the Eight Immortals Pavilion's Legong Jiang Siyang. As for what he saw, Jun Xiu didn't tell Xiao Yinwen in detail, maybe it was not suitable for children.
Soon after she came back, Yuzhu said that her golden hairpin was missing, and searched room by room, and finally found Yinwen's house. Jun Xiu blocked it, so he was framed by Yuzhu and went to Huanyifang. Before leaving, tell Yinwen to hide her things and not let people find out, otherwise you may cause trouble.
Xiao Yimeng asked Yinwen, "Do you have anything else to do in a while?" ”
"There is nothing else to do but practice chess."
"Okay, you take that jade pendant, let's go to Huanyifang."
