At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 83: Reputation after Returning to Beijing
The light in the passage was dim, and the lighting tool that the Hades Lord took out turned out to be a palm-sized night-shining pearl that could illuminate the road ahead.
"Where did you get such a big night-shining pearl?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously as she looked at the night-shining pearl in the hand of the Lord of the Underworld.
"The ghost market has everything. If the county lord likes it, I can give it to you." The Lord of the Underworld replied in front.
"I'm not that materialistic, so you should keep it for yourself!" Yu Yunxin replied unhappily.
This night pearl is just an ordinary fluorescent stone in modern times, and it costs at most two hundred yuan on a certain Baobao or a certain Xixi.
Only in ancient times were they considered rare treasures, and some people even committed massacres for these rare treasures. She didn't like such useless things, so she decided to forget it.
Just as she finished speaking, she felt a stone on the ground loosen, as if triggering some mechanism.
"Be careful!" said the Lord of the Underworld, and a bunch of arrows shot towards them.
The two men took out their swords to block the arrows shot at them. The two figures shuttled in the rain of arrows.
"Come with me! These mechanical devices can't defeat me!" The Lord of the Underworld said as he pulled Yu Yunxin's hand, blocking several arrows from left and right, and protecting her behind him.
After dodging the rain of arrows, there were iron spikes again. However, the two men had excellent lightness skills and quickly dodged the iron spikes that pierced through the wall.
"Someone is breaking into the dungeon!" They were discovered by the guards outside when they triggered the second mechanism.
"Oh no, I've been discovered!" Yu Yunxin said after dodging the last iron spike on the wall.
The Lord of the Underworld didn't say anything, turned around, took out three mice from his sleeves and threw them on the ground. As soon as the mice went out of his sleeves, they were stabbed to death by the spikes on the ground.
"Believe me!" After saying this, the Lord of the Underworld pulled Yu Yunxin and disappeared into the dark secret room.
"Where is the strange man!" six guards walked in and said.
"How could there be anyone in Prince Yi's mansion when it's so heavily guarded? Look at those rats over there." Another soldier said, pointing at the rats on the iron spikes.
"Yes! It must be the mechanism that was triggered by these blind rats!" another soldier followed suit.
"Let's go and check on the mute who is imprisoned by the prince! That man is so bold as to challenge Prince Yi." The guard said, and then he activated the mechanism in the basement and took a look. There was a man unconscious in a dungeon. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the basement, they left.
At this time, Yu Yunxin was lying on the Lord of the Underworld's chest and could hear the man's heartbeat carefully. She also heard the voices of the guards below.
After the guards left the basement, the Lord of the Underworld jumped down from the top of the stone wall with her, and put the silk thread in his hand back into his sleeve.
"Why are there so many strange things in your sleeves? What was that just now? Is it the legendary Tiansi?" Yu Yunxin looked at the Lord of the Underworld curiously.
"Princess! Let's take care of the important things first. Let's go into the dungeon over there and take a look." The Lord of the Underworld said seriously this time.
The Lord of the Underworld saw clearly what the guards were doing when they operated the mechanism, and he immediately activated the mechanism. The iron gate opened and a man was hanging from chains inside. The man was wearing a white inner garment and was covered with whips. His face was disfigured so it was hard to tell who he was or how old he was.
When the Lord of the Underworld saw the unconscious man hanging in the air, he clenched his fists, drew out the sword in his hand, and cut off the chains that were half hanging the man.
After putting the person down, he carried him on his back and said to Yun Xin, "Princess, let's leave here quickly."
The two of them returned directly to the basement along the same route, easily avoided the guards, and left Prince Yi's Mansion.
The Lord of Hell said, "My Lord, your people should have left the city. The situation in Canglan City is complicated now. You should take them away from here overnight. I will arrange a carriage for you. We will temporarily leave this place to the people of Shura Sect."
"Can you people from Shura Sect deal with Prince Yi's Mansion?" Yu Yunxin had just opened her mouth when she was knocked unconscious by a palm from the Hades Lord and fell into his arms.
The Lord of the Underworld did not find it difficult at all to carry a person on his back and in his arms; it was very easy.
After arriving at the inn where Yu Tinghai was staying, he used drugs to knock Yu Tinghai and Qiu Shuang unconscious.
At daybreak, two carriages stopped outside Chengzhou City. Just like last time, Qiu Shuang and Yu Yunxin slept in one carriage, while Yu Tinghai and the unconscious man slept in another.
Yu Tinghai saw the person lying next to him and checked his breath. Fortunately, the person was fine, but his breathing was very weak.
After leaving a letter, Yu Tinghai also knew that this was the masterpiece of Shura Sect and he would never be the opponent of Shura Sect.
At this moment, Yunshan and Yanluo also drove over in a carriage.
"Princess! We have something to report to you, sir!" Yanluo stopped the carriage and said.
Yu Yunxin jumped off the carriage, looked at Yunshan and Yanluo's carriage and asked, "Where did you get this carriage from?"
"Princess, the gold and silver in this carriage are from the storehouse of Prince Yi's mansion. It is Zhu Que who asked us to take it back to Beijing." Yunshan said.
Yu Yunxin looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on her face! She was also very confused now.
Yanluo then told them everything that happened last night when they followed the convoy. It turned out that the person in charge of Prince Yi's Mansion was a secret agent from Xiliang, who looked similar to Prince Yi.
The people of Xiliang came to Canglan City in order to get the food and grass of Dacheng. After having enough food and grass, they can first take Lingcheng of Xizhou, bypass Shura City, and attack Zhongzhou of Dacheng. The grain collected by Prince Yi's Mansion was first sent to a valley one hundred miles outside Canglan City and then sent to Lingcheng.
After hearing what Yunshan said, Yu Tinghai looked at the person lying in the car and said, "He is the real Prince Yi."
Yu Yunxin also took a look at the letter left by the Lord of the Underworld. The letter told them to return to the capital and give Prince Yi a dose of Qianri Powder. Only the imperial physician in the palace could use the medicine to make Prince Yi wake up safely.
After listening to Yanluo and the contents of the letter, Yu Tinghai said, "I don't know if Shura Clan can be trusted. Xin'er, let's quickly reunite with Madam Mu and return to Beijing!"
Yu Yunxin thought about it and could only put the matter of Canglan City aside for the time being. After entering Chengzhou City, she met up with Madam Mu and Mu Yihe and hurried on her way.
This time the journey was faster, and Yu Tinghai asked He Bo to take care of the unconscious Prince Yi along the way.
Mrs. Mu was also very curious about the three extra carriages. Yu Yunxin only said that they were old friends of her father and said nothing else.
She was now more and more curious about the Lord of the Underworld. Who was he? Why was he able to take her, her father, and Qiu Shuang out of the city when the gates of Canglan City were closed? And the silver and money on the carriage brought back by Yunshan and Yanluo were silver and money with the official seal of Canglan City. Why did they let them take it back to the capital?
At noon four days later, the convoy finally returned to the capital. At the city gate, Mrs. Mu and Mu Yihe said goodbye to Yu Yunxin. Before saying goodbye, Mu Yisheng gave Yu Yunxin the jade carvings he had carved during the past few days of travel.
"Sister Princess, we are home now. We are very tired from traveling these days. My mother and I will go back home to rest for a few days and then come to discuss the matter of the jewelry shop with you." Mu Yishen said as he got on Madam Mu's carriage and entered the capital.
After Yu Yunxin and the others entered the city, Yu Tinghai asked her to return home first. He brought the unconscious and disfigured Prince Yi and a cart of official silver minted in Canglan City into the palace to meet Emperor Cheng as soon as possible.
Yu Yunxin discovered the secret of Canglan City's official silver these days. There are strange patterns on these silver coins. Although they are official seals, there is an extra horizontal line on the seals.
Yu Tinghai also felt strange, and found out that these silver coins were newly minted. In order to find out the secret of Canglan City, Yu Tinghai had to rush to the palace to see Emperor Cheng.
Before he rushed to the Yu residence, Yu Linshan and Chunyu came to greet him. Chunyu said, "Princess, I received your message these few days and went back to the residence to ask the second young lady to give up your Yayun Garden, but the second young lady has the support of the old master and the old lady, and she refused to move out of Yayun Garden!"
"Xin'er, don't blame grandpa and grandma. It's better to take less things from the carriage when you come into the mansion. Aunt Wang and Yu Yunxuan have been giving the two old people a hard time these days, saying that you are not thrifty and have squandered all your mother's dowry..." Yu Linshan didn't say anything else.
"Yes! If the old lady hadn't come back to help the princess clarify what you did in Nanling County, I'm afraid that Aunt Wang would have asked the servants in the mansion to slander the princess in front of outsiders!" Chunyu said angrily as he entered the carriage.
Yu Yunxin didn't say anything and watched as some of the people parking stopped.
"Don't you see that's Princess Xingguo's carriage?" A few sharp-eyed people said when they saw the Yu Mansion's carriage.
"A few days ago, I heard the servants of the Yu Mansion say that Miss Yu was awarded the title of princess because of the contribution of Lord Yu. I think that is wrong." said another commoner.
"What's wrong? General Lin's Mansion is the eldest daughter's maiden home, so naturally they will speak well of Sister Yu!" said another old lady.
"Old man, you haven't been to Nanling County, so you don't know! Nanling County has a bumper harvest this year. Such a bumper harvest in the past two years is all thanks to the second crop of rice grown by the princess. I heard this from the Ministry of Revenue. I also heard that the emperor is going to give the princess a higher title!"
"It seems that what the Ministry of Revenue said is true. It seems that the second concubine of the Yu Mansion must have deliberately slandered the legitimate daughter a few days ago. She was jealous of the legitimate daughter's title of princess and said so because she was dissatisfied."
"Just remember how the Wang family was driven out of the capital by the emperor. It was because the Wang family sold grain mixed with stones and reed-cotton jackets. I heard that all the people in the Yu Mansion are Wang's relatives now. I heard that Lord Yu has been reinstated and is showing off his power outside."
"Princess Xingguo, don't be afraid. You were personally conferred the title of princess by the Emperor and the Empress. We support you."
"Even if the princess comes back, you can see that there are not many carriages, only ten. I remember that the emperor sent someone to bring back twenty carriages as a reward last year! They must have stayed in Nanling County. I also heard that the princess bought a lot of good land there and supported the people of several villages!"
"Yes! Aunt Wang actually dared to slander the reputation of Princess Xingguo, who was personally conferred by the Emperor. Princess Xingguo did not put on airs when she returned to the capital."
"If we hadn't seen the Yu Mansion's carriage, we wouldn't have recognized the princess's carriage!"
Yu Yunxin was very happy to hear the people outside the car talking to each other. It seemed that these people really knew right from wrong, and it was all thanks to her grandmother Lin Fu.
Yu Linshan was also very happy for his cousin after hearing this. He walked to the front of the crowd and said, "Thank you all for today, everyone. By the way, our Princess Xingguo also brought some cheap and warm winter quilts and various woolen fabrics from Nanling County. They are not only warm, but also beautiful and affordable. Thank you all for coming."
The people were very happy to hear that there was new fabric, and Chunyu walked out of the car and said, "The princess said that she would give you preferential prices for the people present!"
When everyone heard this, they were very happy and followed the carriage back to Yu’s house. Why were there so many people who just watched the show in ancient times?
And how come Yu Linshan and Chun Yu cooperated so well? Could anything bad happen to them?
When I just returned to Yu Mansion, I saw two doormen standing outside the mansion. They looked familiar, but they were not the previous doormen of Yu Mansion.
"Xin'er, these two are distant relatives of Aunt Wang's family." Yu Linshan said, "Now the people in Yuting have changed. If it weren't for my grandparents living here, I wouldn't want to go back home."
Yunshan and Yanluo jumped out of the carriage first upon hearing this. The two doormen standing at the door were stunned when they saw two beauties coming down.
He immediately came forward and said, "Welcome back, Miss. These two are your maids, right?"
"What do you mean by young lady? Don't you know? The one riding in this carriage is Princess Xingguo, who was personally appointed by the emperor." Yunshan raised his sword and forced back the two doormen who wanted to take advantage of her.
"What Princess Xingguo? She is not the eldest daughter of my Yu family. No matter how glorious she is outside, she is still the eldest daughter when she returns to the Yu family." An old lady's voice came from inside the door, followed by Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan.
"Grandma, you can't say that to my cousin!" Yu Linshan immediately walked over and said.
Yu Yunxin had never seen Old Lady Yu before. When she heard this, she knew that she had a great grudge against her. She immediately got off the carriage and asked Qiu Shuang to find a box of Ganoderma lucidum and take it out.
"Grandma, I've just returned from Nanling County. As your elder, how can I ask you to go out and greet me all the time? You are right. After returning to the Yu Mansion, I will be your legitimate granddaughter." Yu Yunxin said and immediately stepped forward to pay her respects to Old Lady Yu.
Qiu Shuang looked at it and walked over with a brocade box and said, "Madam, this is something our princess found specially for you in Nanling County. It's a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! It will help you live longer."
After saying that, he opened the brocade box, revealing a huge Ganoderma lucidum inside.
The people standing at the door and watching the fun were shocked when they saw this. Such a large Ganoderma lucidum must be at least a thousand years old, and its value must be over ten thousand taels per plant.
This one was picked by her in the Nandian Flower Valley. It is smaller than the one in the Snake Valley. She also has some in her colorful bracelet. She also has a Ganoderma butterfly! However, in the eyes of outsiders, these are good things to show filial piety to the elders.
Old Mrs. Yu was also startled when she saw it. She immediately looked at Yu Yunxin and smiled, "Xin'er, my dear granddaughter, this is a treasure. How can you be so filial? Come into the mansion quickly. You must be tired these days!"
"Where are my grandparents? I have prepared a thousand-year-old wild ginseng for them." Yu Yunxin said and motioned Yunshan to take out the brocade box.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yuanxiang immediately walked over and tried to snatch the brocade box from Yunshan, but Yunshan was a martial arts master and did not let Wang Yuanxiang get close to him.
"Xin'er, give this wild ginseng to me. I will give it to your grandfather on your behalf." Seeing that Yunshan did not let her take the brocade box, Wang Yuanxiang immediately said to Yu Yunxin in a flattering manner.
"Only the eldest daughter can live in Yayun Garden. How can a concubine's daughter be qualified to live in Yayun Garden?" Yu Yunxin said.
"You haven't come back yet! Don't worry, I'll ask Yunxuan to move out immediately." Old Mrs. Yu said, turning back to look at Yu Yunxuan and said, "Why don't you move out of Yayunyuan quickly!"
