In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Ye Lingyao smiled, "You do your job well, and as long as you follow me sincerely, I won't treat you badly."

Wu Hua nodded quickly and took the silver.

"Thank you ma'am."

He was very moved.

Even though he had worked in a wealthy family before, there was no reason why his master would always reward him with money.

It seems that this lady is indeed different from others.

He doesn't regard them as servants, but rather as a shopkeeper and clerk.

This feeling made him inexplicably grateful.

He originally thought that selling himself into slavery would be very miserable, but he didn't expect to meet such a good person like the lady, and he really thought he was lucky.

Ye Lingyao didn't want to care about his affairs anymore.

Early the next morning, Ye Lingyao and Ye Lingzhi took Ying San and Jiu Yuan to the county town.

There are other people taking care of things at home, but it doesn't matter. There is only Ye Wenxuan in the county town, and there is no one around him at the moment.

The rest of the family is worried.

Fortunately, Ying San is still here, so their safety will not be a problem, and with Jiu Yuan's company, he shouldn't be too homesick.

Last night, I told Dr. He to take the child back and stay there for one night.

It's time to take it back today.

They can feel more at ease now that Ying San is with them.

As for the problem of cooking, there is no need to worry. With Tianxianglou here, the waiters will deliver three meals a day to them.

Don't worry at all.

After arranging things at home, the two of them embarked on the road to Fucheng.

Ye Lingzhi laughed at her as she walked away, "We just went to take a look. Why do you act like you haven't come back for several years?"

Ye Lingyao ignored him and just shook her head, "I don't know why, but I always feel very flustered this time, as if something big is about to happen."

Seeing her like this, Ye Lingzhi lost all intention of joking and honestly set up the carriage.

The two walked quickly, but it was not until the next day that they arrived at Fucheng.

As soon as the two of them entered the city gate, they went directly to Tianxiang Tower without waiting any longer.

The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower is named Hu. He is a middle-aged man who looks very shrewd.

"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?"

The shopkeeper was at the counter. When he heard someone talking about him, he immediately raised his head, "I wonder who you two are?"

Ye Lingyao took out the token that Jiang Han had left for her.

It is a carved, very exquisite jade pendant.

This jade pendant is Jiang Han's token, and the entire Tianxiang Tower in Great Liang recognizes this jade pendant.

As soon as Shopkeeper Hu saw him taking out the token, he immediately came over from behind and bowed respectfully, "You two, please speak later."

With that said, he took the two of them to the backyard.

The three of them entered a room. Shopkeeper Hu poured tea for them, and then asked, "May I ask you two, what's the matter with coming to the door with this jade pendant?"

Ye Lingzhi didn't show off to him and directly told him his purpose.

"We are from Anyang County. I asked you to look up my family's information before. News came from over there that you have my family's information here. Let's take a look."

Shopkeeper Hu suddenly realized, "It turns out to be Dong Ye's family! What a minor discourtesy."

Ye Lingzhi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, please ask shopkeeper Hu to inform you about the matter."

Shopkeeper Hu finally relaxed a little.

Just make sure you're not a bad person.

He had also received portraits of the two of them before, but he had never seen them before and did not recognize them for a while.

Now that he was talking about it, he felt that these two people looked familiar.

The identities of the two people were immediately determined.

"It's like this. After we received the news of the search, we always paid attention to it. Not long ago, the clerk in the store accidentally saw a person who looked very similar to the person in the portrait. I hurriedly Notified over there.”

"It's just that the identity of this person cannot be determined, and we don't know who he is, and... there is another very difficult matter."

Having said this, he looked a little nervous.

Ye Lingyao naturally saw the unnaturalness in his expression.

"Shopkeeper Hu, what's the trouble?"

Shopkeeper Hu sighed, "It's not that it's difficult, it's just that the place where the man is now is not easy to enter."

Ye Lingyao thought to herself, the most powerful person in Dongyang Mansion should be the Governor of Dongyang, right?

She suddenly thought of He Mingxuan, the young master of the He family whom she met on the way to escape.

He had given her a jade pendant before.

If he was really in the Dongyang Prefecture, he didn't know if the jade pendant could still be used now.

Ye Lingzhi asked, "Where is he now? I should try if I can see him."

Shopkeeper Hu slowly exhaled and said, "The eldest princess's mansion."

Ye Lingyao trembled all over, "What?"

Shopkeeper Hu was startled and just wanted to cover her mouth. His palms rose and fell several times, but he didn't dare to call her over.

He could only say with a nervous expression, "Oh, my little aunt, please keep your voice down! Keep your voice down!"

After saying that, he looked outside the door in a panic, then ran over and closed the door.

"That's the princess's mansion! It's not something civilians like us can afford to offend. If we inquire about the princess's mansion privately, we'll be punished!"

He originally wanted to say that he would lose his life, but seeing that this person was just a little girl in front of him, he did not scare them.

Ye Lingyao also suddenly came to her senses and nodded quickly.

One of them was surprised, the other nervous, but they didn't realize that Ye Lingzhi, who was sitting on the side, stiffened for a moment.

It took a long time to recover.

But he still recovered faster than the other two, and was not noticed by the two.

A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Ye Lingyao's face, "What should we do? That is the princess. If we want to inquire about things from her house, is it possible?"

In her previous life, she was in an era when order was broken, and she had long ago not taken the imperial power seriously.

At that time, whoever had a stronger fist would survive.

But right now, if they want to get someone from the princess, they probably don't have the ability.

Ye Lingyao frowned and said after a long while, "Shopkeeper Hu, don't worry about this matter now. We'll go find out more later. If it's confirmed that my brother is indeed in the princess's house, we will find a way to redeem him."

Maybe his brother was also treated as a refugee and sold to the princess's house.

In this case, it is just a servant. If they have money, they can buy it back, right?

Others thought so too.

In fact, buying a servant in someone else's house is not a big deal.

But the other party is the eldest princess, and I don’t know if she is the emperor’s daughter or sister.

With such an identity, they can't even reach it, so how can they talk about selling people?
