221 Debt repayment

"Sixth Prince, those people just now ......" Ruyi squatted down, although she was sorry to hear something she shouldn't have heard, but for the sake of Yun'er, she still wanted to ask.

Mu Yao glanced up at Ruyi and Zijin, lowered his head and smiled helplessly: "I owe a gambling debt before, and they are here to collect the debt." ”

Ruyi wondered: "It stands to reason that you are still the prince, and you have a fortune every month, how did you get to this point?" ”

Mu Yao held on to the corner of the table and slowly stood up, he didn't answer Ruyi's question, and then turned a corner and said: "Ruyi girl, thank you for sending Yun'er back today, this is my own debt, and now I have become like this, and I am also self-inflicted, I am a little tired, so I will not send guests." ”

Mu Yao gave a tactful eviction order, and before Ruyi left, he put a silver ingot on the table, after all, Mu Yao's injuries also need to be seen by a good doctor.

Hua Yue returned to the post house, it was already evening, the kitchen had already prepared all the dishes and put them on the table, but Ruyi sat on the chair, but she looked preoccupied.

Hua Yue sat on Ruyi's side and stretched out her hand to hug her: "Why is it that as soon as I come back, you will have a sad face, don't you want me?" ”

Ruyi thought about it for a long time, but decided to tell Hua Yue about it.

"Hua Yue, do you remember the six princes and Yun'er we saw yesterday in the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Hua Yue nodded: "What's wrong?" ”

"Today I went to the street to buy something, and by the way, I went to the house of the sixth prince."

Hua Yue's eyes flickered, he still heard about the affairs of the sixth prince, the gambling debts owed three years ago have not been paid off until now, and life is very poor.

"Hua Yue, how can you say that a prince can be like that, and he was chased by a few thugs from gambling houses to repay his debts, no one believes it, it's really pitiful Yun'er, I have to see my father's embarrassment and helplessness at a young age."

Hua Yue knew that Ruyi liked Yun'er's girl, not so much that Ruyi was pitying Mu Yao, but that she was feeling sorry for Yun'er.

"Hua Yue, do you think we should help them, at least let them live." Ruyi looked sideways at Hua Yue, her eyes full of anticipation.

Hua Yue took Ruyi's hand and nodded in agreement: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to the gambling house to ask how much debt the sixth prince owes, and we will help him pay back the money, so that those people can let him go." ”

Ruyi didn't expect Hua Yue's words to really go up to her heart, she blinked her eyes, and her face immediately turned cloudy and clear: "Hua Yue, you are really a bodhisattva." ”

Hua Yue stretched out her hand and pinched Ruyi's face, and said with a smile: "It is you who have the heart of a bodhisattva, and I am just responsible for paying the money." ”

Ruyi happily hugged Hua Yue's neck, put her chin on his shoulder, and murmured: "Hua Yue, I must have done a lot of good things in my last life, so in this life, God will send you to my side, I am really happy." ”

Hua Yue chuckled: "Yes, so you have to cherish me, hold me firmly, and don't let me run away." ”

Ruyi pushed him away, a pair of eyes half-narrowed, revealing a sly gaze: "What else are you thinking about besides me?" ”

Hua Yue likes to see Ruyi's jealous appearance, he picked up her face, kissed it lightly, touched her forehead, and sighed lightly: "Ruyi, we will always go on like this, never separate, okay?" ”

Ruyi smiled, as long as you still want me, I will definitely not leave you.

The next day, Ruyi went to Mu Yao's house early in the morning, and when she was standing in front of the bamboo gate, Ruyi happened to see Mu Yao busy preparing breakfast for Yun'er in the kitchen.

A prince can actually cook, it seems that this difficult time has given Mu Yao a lot of opportunities to exercise.

Ruyi knocked a few times on the bamboo door, and it was Yun'er who came to open the door.

Yun'er looked up and saw that it was Ruyi, and immediately threw herself into her arms with a smile: "Sister, why are you here?" ”

Ruyi touched Yun'er's head and replied with a smile: "Because I miss Yun'er,." ”

Mu Yao also heard the movement at the door, so he beckoned Yun'er to lead Ruyi in, and then said: "It turned out to be Ruyi girl, did you eat breakfast, I must be far from the post house made by a big man, if Ruyi girl doesn't dislike it, then ......"

Ruyi waved his hand again and again: "No, I ate it before I went out." ”

Yun'er is very active, usually running around with a piece of steamed bun, Ruyi sat down, looking at Yun'er's lively appearance, the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile.

"Ruyi girl, I'm afraid something is going on here so early, right?" Mu Yao asked tentatively.

Ruyi then withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Yes, the debt of the gambling house, this morning, Huayue has sent someone to pay it off." ”

Mu Yao's eyes revealed a trace of surprise that could not be concealed: "Doctor Huayue, he ......"

Ruyi sighed lightly: "Sixth prince, you are also an understanding person, I am afraid that you also know, if you are chased by the thugs of the gambling house every day to repay the debt, it will definitely not be beneficial to Yun'er's growth, you and Mrs. love each other so much, now that Mrs. is gone, Yun'er is your only blood and blood, there is nothing more important than the healthy growth of children." ”

Mu Yao also knew that he was too a bastard before, so the lady was ......

"I really don't know how to thank you and Doctor Huayue, if I can, I want to personally come to the door to thank Doctor Huayue."

"We are going back to Dixuan Kingdom tomorrow, and the sixth prince doesn't have to be polite, as long as Yun'er is good, let's all rest assured."

Mu Yao nodded, agreeing with what Ruyi said.

Yun'er ran around the yard, and only returned to them after eating a piece of steamed bun, stretching out her chubby little hand to grab the second piece, Ruyi smiled lightly, helped her take a piece, and put it in her palm: "Yun'er, breakfast is very important, you have to eat a little more to grow taller." ”

Yun'er took the bun in her mouth, smiled sweetly, and ran to the chicken coop to watch the hen hatch the eggs.

Mu Yao looked at Yun'er's small figure, his eyes gradually deepened, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Miss Ruyi, can I trouble you with something?" ”

"The sixth prince just said it."

"Tomorrow, Prince Xuan and you will return to the Kingdom of Dixuan, and at that time, the emperor will definitely see him off in person, I think, can Miss Ruyi take me to see the emperor."

Ruyi blinked, although it was not a difficult task, but ......

"As a prince, can't you enter the palace to see the emperor?"

Mu Yao smiled helplessly: "I'm down like this, wouldn't I be laughed at by the ministers when I enter the palace, forget if I lose face, the emperor's face is the most important thing, I will see the emperor tomorrow and want to bid farewell to him." ”

"Resignation? Sixth Prince, you are ......"

"Yun'er is getting older, I can't always sit at home with nothing to do and enjoy the moon, I want to go out and do what I can, so that I can pay off the debt that Doctor Huayue paid off for me as soon as possible."

"That money, we didn't want you to return it to the sixth prince, but if you can go out and find something to do, it's also for Yun'er's good, so let's do it, outside the gate of the capital, tomorrow the prince you are waiting there, and when the emperor comes out, I will take you in."

Mu Yao smiled and thanked him again and again.

Ruyi touched Yun'er's head before leaving, and instructed: "Yun'er, you have to grow up quickly and be filial to your father." ”

Yun'er nodded vigorously, her round eyes shining brightly: "Sister, when will you come to see me and my father again?" ”

Ruyi smiled, child, it's always good to give some hope.

"As long as Yun'er is obedient, I will definitely come to see you." Ruyi squatted and coaxed Yun'er with a smile.

Mu Yao led Yun'er all the way to the entrance of the village, Ruyi looked back at Yun'er several times, she was really reluctant to be such a cute child.

Ruyi got into the carriage with the help of Zijin, the bell rang slightly, and Zijin set up the carriage and went to the post house.

Just said goodbye to Yun'er, Ruyi's mood was a little messy, but when she passed by the Zhenguo Mansion, she heard a ghostly cry from the mansion.

Ruyi asked Zijin to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and looked in, the courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion was very deep, and he could still vaguely see the scene of a man kneeling on the ground and being added with various sticks.

Ruyi frowned, and couldn't help but think of Situ Qianchen's indifferent and ruthless face in his mind.

She didn't want to care, but the heart of the person who heard the voice trembled.

"Zijin, you help me down, what's going on in this town?"

Zijin knew that Situ Qianchen wanted to know Ruyi's true identity wholeheartedly, and now that Hua Yue was not there, if he entered the Zhenguo Mansion, he would be quite in a wolf's den.

"Ruyi girl, this Zhenguo Mansion is General Zhaoyi's mansion, what happened inside is also their business, we are outsiders, it's not good to interfere." Zijin held Ruyi's arm and tried to persuade her to go back to the carriage.

"Zijin, listen to this voice, it's obvious that you're being tortured, right? How could a general's mansion be so cruel to others? ”

Seeing that Ruyi was about to enter the Zhenguo Mansion, Zijin hurriedly turned sideways in front of Ruyi, bowed his head and said, "Miss Ruyi, the master asked me to protect your safety, you really can't go in." ”

Ruyi looked up, this cold and chilling mansion, she naturally didn't want to go in for the second time, but the people inside kept shouting life-saving words, so she had to take this step.

After all, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter.

"Ruyi girl, Ruyi girl......" Zijin can't stop Ruyi anymore, for her safety, soft can't do it, you can only use hard one.

Zijin slowly raised his hand, and was about to hit Ruyi's back of the neck, but he didn't expect the black eagle to lead people in.

"Miss Ruyi, my second master invites you in." Black Hawk bowed.

Ruyi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "How did he know that I was coming?" ”

The smile on the corner of Black Eagle's lips was a little stiff: "The second master knows the girl's temperament best, the girl is a bodhisattva, how can she watch others suffer and be indifferent?" ”
