Yu Jinxi and Mrs. Zhang returned to the front hall together. The place was still lively and not deserted because they left temporarily.
Since Yu Jinxi was not familiar with them, he only had nodding acquaintances with them. Most of them were talking around Mrs. Zhang, with Yu Jinxi interjecting a few words from time to time.
In the blink of an eye, he saw a figure walking past the waterside pavilion. Yu Jinxi and Mrs. Zhang informed, and then they went out for a walk with Qingti to catch their breath.
Zhang's courtyard is elegant. There is a flower garden around the corner from the door, and a pavilion for flower viewing. However, the pavilion here is too small, and the collection of Miss Zhang's poems is not here.
Yu Jinxi walked over and saw the figure he saw just now sitting there.
"Feast for the prince."
She came closer and called softly.
Yanhuai was leaning on the pavilion. Hearing the sound, he turned around and glanced at her.
Yan Huaisheng was extremely beautiful, with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, which attracted many noble ladies to be fascinated by him.
It was precisely because he had a good reputation that he refused to accept anyone who came, and his reputation was ruined.
"Is something wrong?"
His tone was light, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he didn't smile much, but his expression was dazzling.
It’s so beautiful!
Although she had seen him since she was a child, even after all these years, his beauty still shocked her.
“Today’s post…”
"I'll throw a lot at you. Do you want it if you love me?"
Yanhuai's tone of disgust made that beautiful leather instantly look a little more hateful.
Yu Jinxi took a deep breath, thinking about his good deeds in his previous life, and softened his tone, "I want to thank the prince, and for what happened in the mansion that day, I also want to thank the prince for letting Qingfeng speak up."
Her tone was kind and she showed kindness in everything, but Yanhuai didn't appreciate it. Instead, he gave her a strange look and said, "Do you have something to ask me for?"
Yu Jinxi:?
"no."
Yanhuai didn't believe her at all, so he took out a house deed from his sleeve and threw it directly in front of her, "Your house."
Yu Jinxi looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?"
She was specifically sold to a pawn shop and had never been sold to a pawn shop owned by her. How could it have been in his hands so long ago?
"Your family is selling their house. Does this county king know about it?"
Yanhuai said angrily, "If the owner of the pawn shop doesn't come to ask what the prince wants, how can he sell this house?"
Yu Jinxi was stunned for a moment. In fact, she had no intention of letting the owner of the pawn shop sell the house to anyone else. She was planning to buy it back in the past two days. She just wanted to pass it on, and she still had the deed of the house.
But there is no need to say these words to Yanhuai now.
She blessed her body towards Yan Huai, "Thank you so much, Prince, for the money. I will send someone to deliver it to my house when I get back."
It was originally a word of thanks, but after hearing this, Yanhuai suddenly turned cold and said sarcastically, "Yu Jinxi, if it weren't for the sake of my uncle and aunt, do you think I am willing to meddle in your business? Even if you go there for your No. 1 Scholar Even if you die, I won’t even look at you twice.”
Yu Jinxi was stunned by his scolding. She paused for a while and then said, "I won't seek death for someone like Gu Qiheng. The prince doesn't have to worry."
Yanhuai thought she had misunderstood. She actually called her number one scholar by his first name and said what kind of person he was?
What kind of person did she think he was?
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for speaking up that day. I am grateful."
Yu Jinxi saluted again, and a dark color flashed in Yanhuai's eyes, "Then what?"
Yu Jinxi looked confused, "What then?"
Yanhuai said with a sullen face, "If something happens to Gu Qiheng, who do you want to ask for help to settle things for him?"
"What happened to him?"
Yu Jinxi asked subconsciously. Her eager look fell into Yanhuai's eyes, and he had a "Sure enough" look on his face.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? You never interact with official family members. Why did you go to the Zhang family's appointment today just to get to know Mrs. Ding from the official department?"
Yanhuai snorted and left with a cold face.
He walked very fast. Yu Jinxi watched him leave in surprise, his mind racing rapidly.
Why didn't she remember what happened to Gu Qiheng in her previous life?
Moreover, she met Mrs. Zhang today, and she was trying to ruin Mrs. Ding's son's marriage. What did he misunderstand?
Yu Jinxi no longer dwelled on this matter, and his thoughts immediately returned to the words "something happened to Gu Qiheng".
Gu Qiheng now works in the Ministry of Rites of the DPRK. When he was the top scholar in high school, his unintentional words were consistent with the predictions of the Celestial Supervisor of the DPRK. He was looked down upon by the emperor and used him to marry him to control the Yu family. He was basically in the DPRK. There is no real power.
Mr. Ding of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the transfer and promotion of officials. How can Gu Qiheng, an official of the Ministry of Rites, interfere with the Ministry of Personnel?
And listening to Yanhuai's voice, it seemed that Gu Qiheng would be fine only if she begged Mrs. Ding.
Yu Jinxi did not delay at Zhang's house and sent someone to inform Mrs. Zhang. He just said that he had something to do and returned first.
Yu Jinxi quickly returned to Gu's house, and immediately sent someone to inquire about Gu Qiheng. At this time, she also remembered another thing.
In his previous life, Gu Qiheng once needed tens of thousands of taels of silver urgently, and the need was very urgent. Time was too tight, so she bought most of her dowry at a discount to get it for him.
Could it be that what Yan Huai said happened in the previous life?
But even if I calculate the time, it’s not quite right.
Yu Jinxi wanted to step on Gu Qiheng hard. At this moment, he really wanted to ask Yanhuai what happened to Gu Qiheng?
But when he thought of Yanhuai's cold face just now, Yu Jinxi gave up the idea.
Not being able to find out what happened to Gu Qiheng for a while, Yu Jinxi felt a little restless. Seeing this, Qingti poured her a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, miss. Things can't be rushed. We have plenty of time to wait."
Yu Jinxi smiled bitterly. She knew she couldn't be in a hurry, but she was just anxious because she wanted to deal with Gu Qiheng so much.
She said nothing and raised her hand to take the tea cup. At this moment, the deed to the house slipped from her sleeve and fell on the table.
Yu Jinxi's eyes dimmed, and then he said, "Qingti, keep the house deed, take the 10,000 taels of silver note to the county prince's mansion, and return the money to the county prince."
Qingti was a little surprised, "Miss, our house didn't sell for 10,000 taels, this is more than 3,000 taels!"
Yu Jinxi glanced at her, and Qingti immediately stopped speaking, not daring to ask any more questions.
Qingti went into the back room to get the banknote, and when she was about to go out, she saw Gu Qiheng coming in a hurry.
Qingti immediately put away the banknote without leaving any trace.
Yu Jinxi was a little surprised when he saw him, "Why are you here?"
Gu Qiheng asked instead, "I heard from my servant that you went to Zhang's house for an appointment. Why are you back so early?"
"I'm not familiar with them. I just sat for a while, said a few words and then returned."
Gu Qiheng asked quickly, "Do you know Mrs. Ding?"
Yu Jinxi looked confused and asked, "Which Mrs. Ding?"
Gu Qiheng said anxiously, "Who else can be Mrs. Ding? Of course she is a member of the official family of Mr. Ding."
Yu Jinxi thought hard about what he had done, and then said, "I think I said a few words."
Gu Qiheng's eyes were overjoyed and he asked urgently, "Maybe I can deliver the post to my door?"
