Liu Chengshan broke his leg, and the Hou Mansion was in chaos. In the evening, the carriage that had been prepared in the back alley quietly drove towards the suburbs of Beijing.
"Why did the Crown Princess buy this village? Even if we divorce in the future, we can still go back to the General's Mansion."
Chunxiao followed Xia Yunxian without knowing why, and turned around the corridor. She saw the huge warehouse in front of her filled with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. The property that was supposed to be sent to the White House was actually here!
An injured man in civilian clothes heard the footsteps and immediately came forward, "Prince Princess, the inventory has been completed. Except for the pair of luminous pearls, everything else is intact."
However, Xia Yunxian casually put aside the list he handed over and smiled softly, "I can rest assured that you will do the work."
The man's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Don't you know, Princess Royal, that this villain was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion..."
"so what?"
Those few words made Li Guang choke in his throat, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The Crown Princess believes in villains?"
"Letter." I saw Xia Yunxian pushing a plate of silver in front of him, "I know you were unwilling to collude with the manager, so you were framed by him and kicked out of the Hou Mansion. You have seniors and juniors, and now you have nowhere to go. If If you are willing to do something for me, this thousand taels will be yours."
Xia Yunxian also knew that Li Guang was very talented. Not only did he know how to read accounts, he was also shrewd and had good martial arts skills.
In his previous life, because he missed the kindness he received from being a steward, he refused to fight back even if he was beaten by a group of people. In the end, he died of serious injuries outside the house.
Apparently, his fate is different now.
Li Guang was stunned for a long time, and finally kowtowed heavily with red eyes, "The villain will definitely go through fire and water, and he will never let down the crown prince's love for reincarnation!"
"No need to thank you too early, I have a task for you now."
I saw Xia Yunxian hand over a piece of medicine prescription, "Purchase as many of the above medicinal materials as you can. And rice and grain. Try to stock the whole Zhuangzi as much as possible."
Li Guang only glanced at it. It was understandable to collect rice grains. After all, the price of grains in various places would rise after winter. He couldn't help but ask, "Why does the Crown Princess need so many medicinal materials?"
Thinking of the tragic scenes she had witnessed with her own eyes, her eyes seemed a little deep, and she did not hide it, "There will soon be a plague sweeping several cities in Dongling Kingdom."
What? !
Li Guang's brows jumped, "I understand, villain!"
He didn't ask any more questions, put the medicine in his pocket and left. Xia Yunxian raised his eyebrows with satisfaction. Whatever the master said, it would be easy to use such a person.
…
On the way back, Xia Yunxian, who was thoughtful, suddenly said, "Change the route and go to the General's Mansion."
Chunxiao's face was filled with joy. Although his master had become decisive and sharp after escaping from death, he always gave people the feeling of being preoccupied. Can he feel better after returning to the General's Mansion today?
However, this little maid didn't understand. Xia Yunxian just didn't know how to face the place where she was born and raised.
At that time, the emperor was furious and held him accountable. In order to prevent the Hou family from being implicated, his father, General Xia, took the initiative to go to the battlefield. After several years of struggle, he finally died with the enemy and never came back.
Since then, the Xia family has also begun to fall apart. Isn't it all because of her?
She is a sinner of the Xia family, how can she pretend that nothing happened?
"Is the Crown Princess back?!" A voice of surprise came from outside the carriage. Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed and she finally came to her senses.
I saw the white-haired old butler Xu Bo coming forward happily, "Why didn't you inform me in advance? I won't let the young master go out!"
Looking at this familiar and vivid face, Xia Yunxian took a deep breath, pretending to be innocent and said with a smile, "On the way, let's see if Yun Han got into trouble."
Uncle Xu couldn't help but laugh and led her all the way into the general's mansion. Everything around her made people feel like they were in another world.
The Xia family used to be full of vitality wherever they went, but now without the old general, it seems as if they have lost their backbone and become much colder.
After a while, Uncle Xu had prepared a table of Xia Yunxian's favorite pastries. The old butler stared at her closely, as if he was afraid that it would not be to her liking.
This scene made her remember everything that happened before she left the cabinet, and she finally suppressed the sadness.
"Uncle Xu, I heard that my father has sent home letters several times. I want to take a look."
Mentioning General Xia, Uncle Xu's eyes turned red. He suppressed his sadness and went to the study. He quickly took out the letters sent home from the border.
Xia Yunxian hesitated for a moment and finally stretched out his hand.
Unexpectedly, after flipping through a few pages, her expression suddenly changed. Uncle Xu seemed to have noticed something and quickly closed the door and window, "Did the Crown Princess find something wrong?"
Xia Yunxian threw one of the family letters into the basin, and after a while he pulled out a note and a small piece of hay from the interlayer.
Uncle Xu didn't expect that he had kept the family letters for so long, but there was something in them!
Just one glance, and he was horrified.
"The Tiger Talisman has been stolen, run away!"
Xia Yunxian stared at the familiar handwriting on it. He couldn't help but swayed, and a terrible thought immediately came to his mind.
If such an important thing as the tiger talisman is stolen from the hands of a general, it will be a grave crime to annihilate the nine tribes!
I heard that my father's last battle took place in Songshan Ridge, a place with an abnormal climate and many rare plants and trees.
His death may not be as simple as death in battle...
"The old slave said that usually there is only one letter from home in January, but in the month of the general's accident, three letters came!" Uncle Xu was heartbroken. Xia Yunxian held the strange hay tightly and forced herself to calm down, "Yun Han Woolen cloth?"
"The young master seems to have gone to Fuyan Lane. I immediately sent someone to ask him to come back."
Fu Yan Lane!
Who doesn't know that behind Fuyan Lane is the most famous fireworks place in Beijing. Everyone only knows that Xia Yunhan, the legitimate son of the Xia family, was depressed after the death of the old general, so it was normal to wander around the flowers to seek comfort.
But Xia Yunxian knew his brother. He didn't like frivolous and vain women the most, and there was no way he would let himself fall into the hypocritical gentleness.
These family letters mentioned more than once that Xia Yunhan was asked to go to the Hou Mansion to find her.
The letter contained a secret code that only the father and daughter knew. If she saw it, she would surely discover the secret in the mezzanine earlier!
But in fact, Yun Han never set foot in the Hou Mansion.
He must have done something to be afraid of being blamed by her. After all, in the past, he could tell that he had caused trouble with just one look!
"No need, I'll go there myself!"
Xia Yunxian's eyes turned cold. She once hated herself for not being reborn when her father went off to war, but at least now, she can prevent Xia Yunhan's tragedy!
She could no longer lose her only relative, but she wanted to see why her brother was beaten to death with a stick in Fuyan Lane a year later!
