Yu Jinxi didn't want to see Liu Ruyan, so Liu Ruyan turned around to coax the old lady.
It's a pity that something happened to the old lady, and she has been trembling in fear these days. In order to save her life, she only listened to the master's words. Liu Ruyan only mentioned Gu Chengxuan a little, and the old lady changed her face and scolded her severely.
Liu Ruyan walked out of the old lady's yard with red eyes. Bicao and Fenxiang took the opportunity to ridicule her behind her back, which made Liu Ruyan's face turn blue, her chest felt tight, and she almost died of anger.
However, before she could go back to find the two to settle accounts, Bicao and Fenxiang had already entered the house and went to wait on the old lady.
Liu Ruyan secretly made up her mind to get out all Bicao and Fenxiang. Now they have become Yu Jinxi's minions, and if they are left, they will only make things difficult for her.
On the contrary, she underestimated Yu Jinxi. Although he was stupid, he was not stupid enough to die.
…
Yu Jinxi asked Chu Dashan to inquire about the third prince outside. Thinking that it would be difficult for her to show up, she asked someone to give him some advice in a different way. She believed in the third prince's character and all she needed was a few words of advice.
Moreover, Yanhuai had already moved away at this time, and she could not find a suitable candidate for a while.
When she was worried, Zhang Suying came to see her.
When she learned that Zhang Suying was coming, Yu Jinxi was very excited. She didn't deliberately suppress the news. She looked tight on the outside and relaxed on the inside. In fact, she deliberately let everyone in the house know.
Liu Ruyan was so curious that she immediately asked Ling'er to find out Zhang Suying's identity.
As soon as she let Ling'er go, Yu Jinxi knew it and asked Bicao to reveal Zhang Suying's identity, leaving Ling'er half-informed.
When Zhang Suying came to Gu's house, she saw that Gu's house was cold and desolate, and it didn't look like an official's residence at all. But when she entered Yu Jinxi's courtyard, she instantly felt that her courtyard was very warm, and it seemed like a completely different world from the Gu family.
Zhang Suying understood that outside was where the arrogant people of the Gu family lived, but here was Yu Jinxi's home.
Although she hasn't moved out, she has been separated from the Gu family.
"Sister Yu... I can finally go out, so I came to look for you first. You must not find me annoying."
Zhang Suying acted coquettishly when she saw Yu Jinxi, her pretty face smiled like a flower, which made people feel good just looking at her. How could he be willing to blame her?
Yu Jinxi placed the prepared fruit plate in front of her and said with a smile, "Have snacks, this is what Qingti is best at."
"It's great. There's delicious food as soon as you arrive."
Zhang Suying ate a piece and told Yu Jinxi some interesting things that happened recently. They were all private affairs of the officials and their families in the capital, but Yu Jinxi also learned a lot from them.
Halfway through her words, Qian Qian came back from outside. Zhang Suying's eyes widened as soon as she saw her, and she quickly waved Qian Qian over, "Sister Yu, who is this little girl? Why have I never seen her before?"
Qian Qian walked to Zhang Suying, and Zhang Suying couldn't wait to hold her little hand, looking at Qian Qian with eyes full of love.
This kid is so good-looking.
"Her name is Qian Qian, and she is my adopted daughter. I was ill a while ago, and the master suggested that I raise a daughter. This is it."
Yu Jinxi said, "You call me sister, then Qianqian will call you aunt!"
Qian Qian yelled obediently, and it was soft and waxy, like a small dumpling. Zhang Suying liked it even more, and casually pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and inserted it into Qian Qian's hair.
"Auntie didn't bring a gift today, so I'll give you this to show my appreciation first, and I'll make up for it later."
Qian Qian looked at Yu Jinxi obediently, and at Yu Jinxi's signal, she accepted it obediently.
"By the way, Sister Yu, I came today because I have something very important to tell you."
Hearing what Zhang Suying said, Yu Jinxi asked Qingti to send Qianqian into the room, and then asked Zhang Suying, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Suying asked mysteriously, "Do you know who threw firecrackers on our carriage last time?"
Yu Jinxi shook her head. At that time, the third prince said that she wanted to investigate this matter, so she did not let Chu Dashan investigate, for fear of running into the third prince's people. Don't let yourself be exposed if you fail to find out the real culprit by then.
The time has not come yet, Chu Dashan cannot be exposed yet.
Zhang Suying approached her, lowered her voice and said, "It's none other than that bastard Ding Yuyuan."
"It's him!" Yu Jinxi was a little surprised. Although he thought that Ding Yuyuan might take revenge on him because of Yun Longsi, he didn't expect that he would be so stupid to do such a thing in the street.
"He was taking revenge on my family. He blamed us for exposing his true colors, which made him look bad at unmarried girls."
Zhang Suying looked at Yu Jinxi with an apologetic look, "It's just that Sister Yu was innocent in this matter, so you were also frightened."
Yu Jinxi shook his head, "Maybe he wanted to take revenge on me as well."
Zhang Suying sighed, "My mother was still frightened when she found out about this incident. She also said that we were lucky that Sister Yu had warned us. Otherwise, if I had been fooled by the Ding family, my life would have been ruined."
Yu Jinxi said, "I didn't do anything."
Zhang Suying said, "My mother said she must remember this kindness."
No one who is a noble lady is a fool. Yu Jinxi did seem to be soft and easy to deceive at first, but after what happened, Mrs. Zhang thought about it carefully and immediately felt that something was wrong.
How could Yu Jinxi be easy to deceive? She was clearly pretending to be stupid that day, specifically to remind her. She was afraid that she would not listen and offend others by being too straightforward, so she came up with such a roundabout idea.
Otherwise, who would politely mention giving a gift to another lady in front of outsiders?
Coupled with what happened to the Gu family these days, what else does Mrs. Zhang not understand?
Although Yu Jinxi did not admit it directly, Zhang Suying had already recognized the good deeds she had done.
"I haven't heard of the Third Prince being exposed before. This matter must not have just been discovered, right?"
Yu Jinxi asked in a calm tone while peeling the small sweet oranges that had just been delivered from outside.
"It has indeed been found out a long time ago, but the third prince explained that this matter involves our two families, and he is afraid that the Ding family will go crazy and talk about everything. One of us is a boudoir girl, and the other is a married woman. We have some gossips about each other. If we weren’t good enough, we would suppress the matter.”
Yu Jinxi suddenly realized, "Is that why Ding Yuyuan beat the concubine of Shunyang Earl's Mansion to death in public?"
Zhang Suying nodded, and then said, "The bastard from Shunyang Earl's Palace is not innocent either. He robbed a common girl, but his family ignored him and sent the victim's only biological brother to the palace. It's a pity that Her brother did not pass the first test and died."
Yu Jinxi asked, "Didn't you report it to the official?"
Zhang Suying shook her head, "The civilian girl is also dead, and all the witnesses and victims are dead, so no one will hold him accountable."
"This matter was handled by Prince Yan. He said that evil people need to be punished by evil people. He wanted them to be dog-eat-dog, but who knew Ding Yuyuan was so ruthless and beat the person to death directly."
"It's better now. One life is worth one, and there is no need to involve others."
