After leaving the manor, it was almost Xu o'clock. The night in the capital was from 2 o'clock to five o'clock, and the curfew was between 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock. If you didn't go back to the city now, you would have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Tingshuang helped Yunchu get into the carriage and asked softly: "Madam, do you just agree to treat Master Wu?"
Yun Chu nodded.
More than 20 years ago, the Wu family members fell ill and died one after another. In the end, only the youngest Mr. Wu was left. Mrs. Wu immediately sold all her family property and looked for doctors to treat Mr. Wu. They were penniless and did not even have the place where they lived. None, so I moved into this village.
This was Zhuangzi handed down from the ancestors of the Wu family, and it was also the only property of the Wu family at that time.
However, a family named Zou at that time had to sell the ancestral property at a low price. The village was decorated like a royal garden at that time, with various carved beams and paintings, pavilions, waterside pavilions, and precious flowers. If it really wanted to sell it, it would fetch at least more than 30,000 taels of silver. In the end, Wu The lady only got twenty thousand taels.
After the Zou family acquired Zhuangzi, they immediately demolished the Wu family ancestral hall and the grove was about to be burned down. Mrs. Wu had nowhere to go, so she came up with a trick to scare people away by pretending to be a ghost.
Sure enough, the Zou family was so frightened that they had to sell Zhuangzi at a low price. As for the impact on the Zou family's luck, it was completely a coincidence.
Later, when the businessman took over Zhuangzi, Mrs. Wu and Master Wu, who was three or four years old at the time, pretended to be ghosts and frightened the businessman into falling ill.
Not only that, Mrs. Wu went out during the day to tell people around her that there was a ghost in the village, so she spread the word to others, and no one dared to take over. The businessman would occasionally send people to check, but they were frightened by the growing young Master Wu. After leaving, Master Wu doesn't need to disguise himself at all. Just that face and the stinky smell of festering on his body are enough to scare people unconscious...
"The mother and son of the Wu family are also poor people. They have lived in darkness for more than twenty years." Yun Chu said, "This village is an ancestral property passed down from the ancestors of the Wu family. I bought this village with the money I earned from the Wu family's ancestral property. There is nothing wrong with using money to treat Master Wu’s illness.”
Tingfeng said: "But the miracle doctor only paid five thousand taels of silver for one pulse diagnosis. I'm afraid it will take Zhuangzi three to five years to make so much money."
Yunchu smiled.
When the hot spring opens, he can earn at least fifty thousand taels of silver this winter. Paying for Master Wu's medical expenses is not worth mentioning at all.
She doesn't think she is a compassionate person, but she will help others when she can. Perhaps it is because of this that she has formed many good relationships, so God allowed her to return to the year when she was twenty.
"Madam, please take a pulse for yourself." Tingshuang felt sour in her heart, "Madam is still young. After the infertility is cured, she can have another young master..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of crying suddenly came from outside the carriage.
Yunchu immediately said: "Stop."
The driver tightened the reins and the carriage slowly stopped.
Ting Shuang lifted the car curtain and Yun Chu took a look outside. He had already entered the capital and was about to go under curfew. No pedestrians could be seen on the road, only the watchman was walking by.
The crying seemed to be in a small alley.
Without thinking, Yun Chu got off the carriage and walked towards the alley. Ting Shuang and the other girls quickly followed.
There was only faint moonlight in the alley, and a small white figure could be vaguely seen squatting in the corner.
That cry was coming from this little figure.
Yunchu quickened his pace and soon saw clearly that this was a girl who was about three years old. Her long hair was scattered around her body, her head was buried between her knees, her small shoulders twitched, and she made a small meow like a cat. The same cry.
Yunchu also noticed that the little girl didn't even wear shoes.
Her heart softened, and she quickly picked up the child and said softly: "Why are you alone outside? Where are your parents?"
The little girl raised her face, her palm-sized face showed her big and round eyes, which were filled with tears, and they rolled down one by one. When she saw Yun Chu, she opened her eyes in confusion at first, and then let out a whimper. , lying in her arms and crying loudly.
Yun Chu was immediately in a panic: "Stop crying, be good. If you cry again, you will become a little cat."
But the little girl couldn't stop crying more and more. Tears fell on her shoulders and her clothes were soaked.
Yunchu's heart felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Her most beloved child was Xie Shiyun, but even if Xie Shiyun was hurt and cried, she would not feel this pain.
She hugged the little girl, patted her back gently, walked out of the alley, climbed onto the carriage with difficulty, sat down, and sang softly. The little girl slowly calmed down in her arms.
When she was about to communicate, she saw those beautiful big eyes closed, and the little girl actually fell asleep in her arms.
Yun Chu's heart felt soft, and she said softly: "Tingshuang, you and Uncle Chen go for a walk around the area to see if there is any family looking for a child. If everything matches, bring the person over."
Ting Shuang took the order and left.
The carriage pulled over, leaving only Yun Chu holding the child, Ting Feng and Ting Xue waiting under the carriage, and a driver holding the horse.
At this moment, many people suddenly came over and surrounded the carriage.
The leader was a grandma in her forties or fifties. She stared coldly at the carriage: "Go up and search."
Four or five guards immediately stepped forward.
"What are you doing?" Tingxue stopped him quickly, "There is our wife inside, don't interrupt our wife!"
The mama's face was very cold: "It's unusual for this carriage to be parked on the roadside in the middle of the night. If any serious lady doesn't come home late at night, go search her!"
Tingxue was almost anxious, and just as she was about to defend herself, the cry of a child suddenly came from the carriage.
The nanny's face lit up with joy: "The princess is in the carriage!"
She pushed the two maids, Tingxue and Tingfeng, over, helped the guards mount their horses, and suddenly opened the car curtain.
She saw the girl being held by Yun Chu at a glance, rushed over, put her hands under the child's armpits, and pulled her out.
The little girl was crying, but when she was pulled like this, she suddenly broke out into even more violent cries.
Yun Chu's eyes darkened: "Let go."
"It's you who should let go!" The nanny glared angrily, "How dare you steal our princess, I think you are tired of living. No matter which family you are from, your days are over!"
As she said this, she hugged the child and pulled hard.
Yun Chu was holding the little girl's waist. Seeing this, he didn't dare to exert any more force and quickly let go.
The little girl was punched and kicked in her grandma's hands, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. Her originally fair and tender face turned purple.
"Let go of the child!"
Yun Chu's voice suddenly rose, and his aura was fully activated.
The nanny was not frightened by her aura, but by the little princess's purple face. Her legs were so weak that she even placed the child on the cushions of the carriage.
"It's okay, don't cry anymore..." Yunchu's voice was extremely soft, "Auntie, can I give you a hug?"
The mama's face darkened: "What qualifications do you have to be our princess's aunt..."
Before she finished speaking, the little girl stretched out her two short arms and hugged Yun Chu's neck.
Yun Chu put her on his knees, pointed at the nanny and said softly: "Do you know the person in front of you? Is he from your family?"
The little girl just hugged her and said nothing.
Yun Chu raised his eyes and said, "If she says she knows you, I will let you take her away."
The nanny couldn't believe that she wanted to take away her little master, but she wanted a stranger to nod.
However, the young master was so dependent on the lady's arms that her attempts to force him were of no use.
She said: "Our little princess can't speak. According to Madam's wishes, can I still take the princess away today?"
Yun Chu was stunned.
This child can't speak?
etc!
She remembered that Brother Yu told her that he had a sister who couldn't speak. Isn't Brother Yu's sister the princess?
Is the little girl the child of King Pingxi?
But isn't King Ping Xi's child four years old? This little girl looks about three years old...
