Lady Jiangyun raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yiqing. The woman's sharp gaze made her heart tremble. Finally, she whispered: "I just want to get back a piece of jade pendant. When you were in Luo Kingdom, the noble
The jade pendant given to you by the madam! But there was a whistle outside your room, so I came back. I have no other ill intentions, you believe me!"
Chu Yiqing looked at Jiangyun coldly, "The jade pendant of the Yu family?"
Jiangyun was stunned, his eyes full of surprise, "How do you know? You..."
"That jade pendant has a rose pattern on it. It is a token of the Yu family. If my guess is correct, it is a token in the Luo Kingdom! It seems that the person who was trapped in the Guanyin Temple last time should be with the Yu family.
He is related to the family, and he is probably an important figure in the Yu family, otherwise that person would not have given me such a valuable jade pendant!"
Chu Yiqing said exactly what Li Huang had suspected. When Jiang Yun's face turned pale, she knew that Li Huang's guess was right!
"What else do you know?" Jiangyun asked in a low voice.
"I also know that there have been three generations of queens in this Yu family, and the current Queen of Luo is the eldest daughter of the Yu family! Do you think the lady that day was the current Queen Jade?" Chu Yiqing stared at her.
Jiang Yun's eyes smiled lightly.
Jiangyun bit her lip tightly, and after a long time she whispered: "Then do you know the function of that jade pendant?"
Chu Yiqing slowly folded his arms in front of his chest, "This is what I want to ask you, why did you also get this jade pendant?"
Jiangyun's expression suddenly became excited, "Because with that jade pendant, I can return to Luo Kingdom to avenge my father!"
Chu Yiqing narrowed his eyes, "It's just a jade pendant, how powerful is it?"
Jiangyun bit her lip, as if she didn't want to say anything, but Chu Yiqing's eyes became sharper.
"The Yu family has clan rules. For anyone who is a benefactor of the Yu family, the Yu family will give that person a jade pendant that represents the majesty of the Yu family. When the time comes, seeing the jade pendant is like meeting a benefactor, and the Yu family will agree to hold the jade pendant.
Everyone has one condition! Because the jade pendant is so important, the Yu family has only given away three jade pendants in the past hundred years, and they did not mention the function of the jade pendants when they were given away, so many people just thought it was just a piece of good jade.
If you are in trouble, you will take it to a pawn shop to exchange for money!" Jiangyun whispered, "The person who was caught in Guanyin Noodles last time was the sister of the current Jade Queen. Since this is a family scandal, and the family scandal cannot be publicized, then the Jade Queen
Naturally, I won’t tell you the use of this jade pendant! Miss Chu, it’s actually useless for you to hold that jade pendant. If you give it to me, I can order the Yu family to do something for me. I know I can’t kill that person.
But I can leave my life and stay by his side. As long as I am by his side, I will have a chance!" Jiangyun said very implicitly, but Chu Yiqing quickly captured everything. It turns out that the jade pendant has such a great effect.
Not only can Jiang Yun's life be saved, but she can also stay with Prince Luo!
"Miss Chu, I beg you, I need this jade pendant very much, I..." Jiangyun suddenly begged in a low voice.
"So that's why you don't want to help me! With the jade pendant, you can achieve your goal, so you stay with me because you want to get this jade pendant?" Chu Yiqing asked coldly.
"Yes! I am a member of the Luo Kingdom after all, and I cannot betray the Luo Kingdom! I just want your jade pendant!" Jiangyun pleaded.
"You have integrity. Just killing the prince is not treason?" Chu Yiqing sneered.
Jiangyun paused and just said: "Miss Chu, if you are willing to give me that jade pendant, I, Jiangyun, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. If you are not willing to give it..." Jiangyun sat on the bed depressedly, "Me too.
I will never reveal Lan Yi’s true identity, don’t even think about it!”
"So this is how you ask for help!" Chu Yiqing sneered.
Jiangyun raised his eyes, his face was ashen, as if he wanted to say something, but still didn't say anything.
"I won't give you the jade pendant, and I advise you that you'd better be more honest along the way, otherwise, you will be more miserable than death!" Chu Yiqing's words were very light, but he was born with that kind of chilling feeling.
Although Jiang Yun was unwilling to accept the power, he did not open his mouth to refute.
When Chu Yiqing came out of Jiangyun's house, Yingqian had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. The sound just now woke her up. When she saw Chu Yiqing leaving the door, she hurried over to take care of A Bao.
"Is A Bao awake?" Chu Yiqing entered the room and glanced at A Bao, who was still sleeping soundly. The condensed aura just now softened in an instant.
"No, I just turned over and fell asleep quickly!" Yingqian said quickly, "Miss, did something happen?"
"It's nothing big, but you have to keep a good eye on Jiangyun from now on!" Chu Yiqing whispered, "After arriving in Lucheng, you ask Shi Shi and Shi Shi to take her to the capital and hand her over to the Fifth Prince.
He knows what to do!"
Yingqian nodded quickly, "Yes, Miss!"
"Okay, you go and rest!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
Yingqian hesitated for a moment and then hurried out. However, in the middle of the night, she became more vigilant and listened carefully to what was going on next door, fearing that Jiangyun would cause trouble again.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chen Hua ordered Liu Ma and Xiao Zhen to prepare a table of breakfast, including freshly fried fried dough sticks, vegetable fried noodles, and languid millet porridge.
They were served neatly.
Chu Yiqing stayed here for a night and found that the entire mansion was managed in an orderly manner by Chen Hua. The servants also worked together. He also looked at the account book handed over by Chen Hua yesterday. He had made a profit in just a few months.
A thousand taels of silver was really not bad, so I also had a better impression of Chen Hua. During breakfast, I smiled and said to Chen Hua: "Mrs. Chen, come and sit here too!"
Chen Huashi said quickly: "Miss Chu, I don't dare to do this. This master is the master, and the servant is the slave. I know it well. Although Miss Chu doesn't come often, and although the word "Chen Mansion" is hung on the door of this house, but I
My identity remains unchanged, I am just a butler!"
After Chu Yiqing heard this, he didn't force it and handed A Bao to Mai Xiang. After he was fed and she had eaten, he and Chen Hua went to see the shop together.
Shiwu and Yingqian had already prepared the carriage outside. Chen Hua declined and got into the carriage, and they headed towards the bustling road in Yuncheng.
Because Chen Hua often did business with her husband in the past, she knew a lot of famous people in Yuncheng, and the business was smooth. Now there are three vegetable shops, and these three vegetable shops make up the top ten restaurants in Yuncheng.
All the business was taken away.
Every time she went to a shop, Chen Hua would solemnly introduce Chu Yiqing's identity to the shopkeepers and waiters. Those people just called Chen Hua as the steward's wife. It can be seen that Chen Hua also reserved space for Chu Yiqing on weekdays.
Got a seat!
The business in Yuncheng was just to divert the prince's attention, but he didn't expect it to be done unintentionally. It can be considered a small scale. But now Chu Yiqing is already in Lucheng, and Chu Han is running in both directions, so he really can't take care of it.
, leaving Chen Hua fully responsible as usual.
After a while, Chu Yiqing took A Bao and continued on the road. They walked for another four or five days. The weather gradually became cooler, and they finally arrived in Lucheng on the first day of autumn.
In front of the Chu Mansion, Lady Ling Dang and Ling Dang had been looking forward to it for a long time. The letter they had sent earlier was received two days ago, but after waiting for two days and no sign of Chu Yiqing was seen, Lady Ling Dang and Ling Dang couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
Get anxious.
"Mom, why haven't you seen Master Abao yet?" Because of the hot weather, Lingdang only wore a small green jacket, cotton pants of the same color underneath, and two small buns on her head. Although her face was a little sunburned,
She is red, but her eyes are big and refreshing.
"It's time to arrive. The messenger said that the lady left early in the morning!" Lady Ling Ding also weighed her feet uneasily and looked at it.
The mother and daughter were looking around when they saw three carriages approaching. With sharp eyes, they quickly shouted: "Mom, mother, look, it looks like the lady's carriage!"
Lady Bell quickly put up her tent to have a look, responded happily, pulled her bell and hurried forward to greet him.
"Bell! Bell!" The weather was hot and Po liked to stick his head out of the carriage. When he saw the bell running towards him, he immediately shouted with joy and pretended to rush out of the carriage.
"The carriage hasn't stopped yet. You can't get out until it stops!" Chu Yiqing quickly grabbed him.
A Bao was still struggling. He wanted to play with the bell quickly. He was exhausted from the long carriage ride!
"Little monkey, why can't you stay so long?" Chu Yiqing had no choice but to ask Shi Shi to stop the carriage and get out first. Then he carried A Bao down and stood on the roadside talking to the bell girl who came forward. Ying Ying
Qian Ze and Shi Shi drove the carriage to the yard.
"Miss, why did it take so long on the road? I received this letter two days ago, and I've been looking forward to it every day!" Lady Ling Dang said as she told Ling Dang, "Run slowly, it's hot! Take the young master with you first.
Go drink bingsu mung bean water, freshly brewed, to relieve the heat!"
Ling Dang responded and ran into the house with A Bao. When Mai Xiang saw it, he quickly said hello to Ling Dang's mother and followed him, for fear that Ling Dang was too small and could not take good care of A Bao.
"Hello, Miss Mai Xiang!" Lady Ling Dang quickly greeted Mai Xiang as she passed by.
Mai Xiang responded and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, I'm going to check on A Bao first. I'm worried!"
Bell Girl quickly responded.
"How's it going? Has everything gone well at home these days while I'm gone?" Chu Yiqing asked as he followed Lady Ling Dang through the door.
"Everything is fine. It's just that the lady didn't come back when the day came. Some people kept coming to inquire. They all listened to the lady's words and took good care of the persimmon trees. Recently, I don't know who is spreading rumors that it is the lady.
I won’t come back, no more persimmons! It’s made people panic, and a few people came to our door to scold us, saying it was a waste of their energy and money!” Lady Lingdang said as she let Chu Yiqing in.
In the room, he took the mung bean water handed over by Mrs. Hua and said, "Girl, please drink some mung bean water first. Don't get angry after hearing this on a hot day!"
Chu Yiqing took the mung bean water that had been pulled with cold water and drank it. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "It's just some rumors. As soon as I come back, these rumors will be disproven. Don't worry, I won't get angry!"
"
Bell Girl nodded quickly.
"There are some watermelons in the car. You can deliver them door to door according to the list I gave you. It will also be a good time to tell everyone that I am back!" Chu Yiqing added.
Lady Lingdang hurriedly responded. Seeing that it was still early for dinner, she went down to make arrangements first.
Zhang Luo settled down for a day, and on the second day, people came to the door one after another. First, he paid a hundred yuan to report the situation in the vegetable fields these days. There is no need for a greenhouse now, so it is easier to take care of the things under his hands.
The farmers can also work, and coupled with the market chaos policy of the five major families, there is no shortage of vegetables now, and the imperial court has become indifferent to Lucheng.
"Miss Chu, there are already rumors in the court that the farmers here are about to evacuate. How about you help me find out? See if this is what it means? We should prepare in advance!" Hundred Yuan Increase
Said embarrassedly.
Chu Yiqing naturally understood what he meant. If the imperial court no longer paid attention to the vegetables in Lucheng, so many agricultural officials and farmers would have to be redistributed. The hundred yuan increase came from the capital, so he naturally wanted to return to the capital.
"It's okay, we finally got to know each other, I can still help with this little favor!" Chu Yiqing said with a light smile.
