Chapter 108: The capital
Yu Su ran out, and Yu Xuanqi returned to the desk.
Facing the mountains of account books, Yu Xuanqi couldn't read a word. Thinking about what Yusu just said in his mind, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
He respects Meng Yuxuan, a woman, who has nothing to do with love, but just knows. Now that she has encountered such an ordeal, as a friend, how can she not worry? It's just that...... Far water can't save a near fire. It was useless for him to worry about it now. Instead of worrying about useless things, it is better to finish what you are doing quickly, so that you can rush back to help earlier.
Yu Xuanqi forced himself to calm down. He sped up his work on the ledger, looking at ten lines at a glance and concentrating.
"Young master, young master......" Yusu ran back from outside, and didn't knock on the door to push the door in.
Yu Xuanqi frowned and looked at him impatiently.
Ignoring his ugly face, Yu Su waved the letter in his hand and said, "This is an urgent letter sent by the third grandfather, Xi'er and our second lady were captured by the assassins, and my sister followed the assassins to the capital." ”
Crash! Yu Xuanqi stood up in shock. He said coldly, "What did you just say? ”
"The subordinate said that the second lady was arrested." Yu Su said with an ugly face: "The housekeeper reported to the official, but he didn't tell the government that it was the second lady who was arrested, only that the maid in our house was arrested." Young master, what now? The second lady has a noble status, and she is still the person who the emperor specified to be sent to the palace. Although it has been suppressed for the time being, I don't know when we will be sent to the palace. Even if we were lucky, the emperor didn't think of her. But the second lady was arrested, which was also an embarrassing thing. How will she be clear in the future? ”
"Shut up!" Yu Xuanqi snorted: "Let me be quiet for a while." ”
Yusu obediently shut up. He rubbed his hands nervously and watched anxiously as Yu Xuanqi walked around in front of him.
Yu Xuanqi frowned deeply, the calmness just now seemed to be an illusion, and now the flustered and nervous Yu Xuanqi is a flesh and blood person. After all, it was his own sister who was arrested, and no matter how calm she was, it was impossible to calm down. If he can be calm and self-contained now, then there is something wrong with his relationship with Yu Qingrao.
"You go find two horses. The luggage will be handed over to them and slowly brought back, and you and I will ride back to the capital. Yu Xuanqi made a decision.
"Yes." Yusu immediately responded. "Then the subordinates will go and prepare."
When Yusu and Yuxuanqi rode back to the capital on a thousand-mile horse, Meng Yuxuan and Jasmine also went to the capital in a carriage. In order to take care of Meng Yuxuan's stomach, they didn't dare to let the carriage go too fast, so no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't be in a hurry at this time. Two months later, the master and servant finally appeared at the gate of the capital.
"May I ask Madame, but her surname is Meng?" Just as they were about to enter the city gate, an old man walked up to them and asked politely.
Jasmine looked at the old man vigilantly and said lightly, "Who are you?" ”
The old man took out a letter and said respectfully: "The old slave is from the Yu family, and he came to greet Mrs. Meng on the order of the eldest young master. Mrs. Meng has worked hard all the way. ”
When Jasmine heard that she was from the Yu family, the look in her eyes softened a little. However, for the sake of safety, she still picked up the letter and flipped through it.
"Madam, it's Young Master Yu's handwriting." Jasmine handed the letter to Meng Yuxuan with both hands.
Meng Yuxuan took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Thank you young master for your kindness." But we're not going to go to the Jade family. You go back and tell your young master that we will settle down by ourselves, so you don't have to worry about him." When I'm settled, I'll send him a sticker. ”
"This ...... The young master meant to invite the lady to the Jade Mansion as a guest. Madame has no relatives here, and the guest room of the Yu family has long been prepared for Madame. The old man said, "Madame is pregnant, I'm afraid it's very hard." We boiled bird's nest for my wife to replenish her body. ”
"No need." Meng Yuxuan didn't want to say more. She said to Jasmine, "Let's go!" ”
"Madam......" The old man wanted to persuade again, but Jasmine stood in front of Meng Yuxuan, looked at the old man coldly and said, "Our lady said no. ”
The old man frowned, bowed his hand respectfully, saluted and said, "Then the old slave will retire." Madame can go to the Jade Mansion to find someone if you have any needs, the young master said that Madame is his friend, and you can agree to any request. ”
"How long has it been since your young master came back?" When she left, Yu Xuanqi went to the field to inspect the Yu family's industry, and said that she would not go back in three or four months. Now it's only been two months and he's been in the capital instead of going back to that small city. It can be seen that he received the message she brought out, and he hurried back to the capital knowing that Miss Yuer had an accident.
"The young master has been back for a month." The old man said: "The young master has been out early and returned late recently, and he has entered the palace again today, so Madame should not see him today." ”
"Hmm. I understand. Meng Yuxuan said, said goodbye to the old man again, and she and Jasmine went to the city first.
Yu Xuanqi has been back for a month, that is, he has been looking for a month. But there has been no progress in this month, which shows how cunning the person in the shadows is. The Yu family can't find anyone if they are powerful or powerful, let alone her, an ordinary person who doesn't have any power. She had to think carefully about how to find out who was behind the takeaway of Shangguan Xi and Yu Qingrao.
"Madam, the slave maid goes to buy a yard, you can find an inn to rest for a while!" Jasmine said.
"Hmm." Meng Yuxuan was really tired, so she was not polite to her.
The two acted separately. Jasmine took the silver to buy a yard, and Meng Yuxuan found an inn to rest.
The stomach is still quite bulky for six months, especially after sitting in the carriage for so long, it is uncomfortable all over. Fortunately, she drinks space water every day, otherwise she would have been unable to stand it a long time ago.
During this time, they did not eat or sleep well, and their bodies were in extreme exhaustion. If it is an ordinary pregnant woman, the body has already carried it.
Meng Yuxuan had a good night's sleep in the inn. However, her dream was finally woken up. She stared sharply at the rooftop. There was a ringing there.
Sure enough, the Assassins knew her whereabouts all along. They arrested Guanxi and Yu Qingrao in order to lure her and Shangguan Huan to the capital. It seems that their life in the capital will not be very peaceful in the future. She wanted to know who was behind all this. Who counts them so thoroughly?
Huan, who the hell are you? Why are these people calculating you so much? Where are you now?
The momentum on the roof quickly faded. Presumably, the people in the shadows determined where she was, and then went back to report to their master.
"Madame......" Jasmine walked in from outside.
Meng Yuxuan sat up and said softly, "Is it so fast?" ”
"The slave doesn't worry about you, so I found a suitable yard and settled down." Jasmine looked at the roof and said, "Was there any momentum just now?" The slave and maid watched as several shadows passed by. Could it be that the slave is too tired and so dazzled? ”
"You're not dazzled, someone did come just now." Meng Yuxuan sighed: "Let's go and take care of the new yard you bought." When this place stabilizes, I will pick another time to check it out. Since those Assassins have followed us all the way, they will always leave traces. It's just that in this way, I can't meet with Young Master Yu. ”
"If Madam meets with Young Master Yu, it will inevitably arouse their guard, and there will be more people sent at that time. Madam and Young Master Yu still don't see each other first. Jasmine said. However, the slave also has to find a way to contact the master's subordinates. It's just that...... Slaves and maids have no tokens, and they will not trust slaves and maids. ”
"Token ......" Meng Yuxuan remembered the jade pendant that Shangguan Huan handed her. Since the day they got married, that jade pendant has always been on her body. "Is that it?"
Jasmine saw Yu Pei and said in surprise, "This is it." Madam, with this thing, we have a helper here. ”
"I don't know much about your master, I don't know who he is, so I don't know what this token represents. Look at the arrangement! Meng Yuxuan finished speaking lightly, her tone changed, and her eyes became very sharp. But you know my temper, and as long as you are faithful to the Lord, I will not treat you badly. If you have any different intentions, don't say that your master will not let you go, and I will not let you go. Do you understand? ”
Jasmine knelt down and said very cautiously, "Madame, don't worry. The slave is born as a lady's person, and dies as a lady's ghost. Slaves and maids will never turn their backs on their masters and wives. ”
"Get up!" Meng Yuxuan said: "Try those people's kung fu at night. ”
"Yes." Jasmine replied in a deep voice.
"Where is the yard, lead the way in front." Meng Yuxuan followed Jasmine to the newly bought yard.
During this time, they made a lot of money running a workshop, so they did not lack silver in their hands. Now there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets lying in her space.
The new courtyard is an ordinary courtyard house, not big, but the design is very warm, and it looks like a small courtyard where a family of several people live.
Meng Yuxuan was bent on finding Shangguanxi, so finding someone was the main task. The yard didn't have to be too big, because she hadn't thought of buying a servant. Since she didn't buy servants, cleaning and the like needed to be done by her and Jasmine. If they buy a house that is too big, the two of them don't have to do anything else, they just clean up at home every day.
Jasmine cleaned up and bought groceries. When they had everything ready, they took the gifts and visited the neighbors around them.
Not long after, a son was abducted and trafficked, and the touching story of the poor mother who found the capital from a small place far away in search of her lost son spread nearby. So she became a well-known celebrity.
In the room, Meng Yuxuan took off the hair ornament on her head and combed her smooth black hair.
Jasmine watched her look as she cleaned up.
Meng Yuxuan smiled and said, "After enduring the night, how long do you plan to endure it?" If you have anything to say, just say it! ”
"Madame, why do you want to tell anyone that you are here to find your son?" Jasmine never understood what she was doing.
"Is it hard to explain?" Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly: "Those masters come and go without a trace, and it is very easy to kill a person." I'm just going to make it known to everyone so that the people behind them have to worry about it if they want to do it. After all, everyone knew that my son had been trafficked, and if I had gone missing, maybe the neighbors would have helped me report it. They are the ones who see the light of day, and such small troubles can become their big troubles. ”
