Outside the door, the young man Zhang Yifei, who was decocting medicine, saw her leave and immediately understood what she was going to do. He was so scared that he quickly chased after her.

"Alei, do you want to go find that fat-headed and big-eared Cao Jinwei? Tomorrow, my brother will definitely be able to earn more money and raise enough money to treat my grandfather's illness!"

Zhang Xinlei saw that he was beaten black and blue, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You will die if you continue like this! In a place like the Fighting Arena, it's luck to come back alive. As long as I agree to be Cao Jinwei's concubine, my grandfather's disease can be cured, and you won't die!"

Zhang Yifei pursed his lips and pretended to be relaxed: "You are being stupid again. Don't you know how strong your brother is? Those skinny guys in the life-fighting arena are no match for your brother!"

Zhang Xinlei wanted to say something, but a loud shout came from the door: "Come in, all of you!"

When Zhang Yifei and Zhang Xinlei turned around, they saw Zhang Dinglian walking towards them despite his illness.

The brother and sister were startled and ran to help him.

"Grandfather, please lie down."

Zhang Dinglian did not move. He stared at the wounds on Zhang Yifei's body and said with some self-blame: "Ah! It's all because of my old bones that you got hurt."

He suddenly grabbed the hands of the two siblings and said in a trembling voice, "Your grandmother is gone, your second uncle and fourth uncle have disappeared one after another, and you two are the only ones left in the Zhang family. You must not get hurt! You are also not allowed to do anything stupid, do you hear me! If I find out, I will end my life immediately!"

"No, Grandfather, we don't dare!"

Zhang Xinlei and Zhang Yifei were both extremely anxious, yet they felt desperate in their hearts.

They don’t have money to take their grandfather to see a doctor. Are they really going to watch him die of illness?

……

The next day.

Hongmei had been waiting outside Du Yunsheng's room since early morning. As soon as she came out, she whispered, "Princess, Aunt Ling is missing..."

Du Yunsheng was shocked and quickly went to Lan Ling's room.

The room was very clean and there were no suspicious signs. It was most likely that she left on her own.

why?

Du Yunsheng couldn't figure it out and planned to ask Zhang Long and others to help find someone.

Xiang Zhu saw that there were still many things that had not been purchased for the new home, so he said something to Du Yunsheng and took Xiao Ming out to buy them.

Du Yunsheng called Zhang Long and told him about the search for Lan Ling. Then he asked them to go to different pawnshops and exchange their mother's dowry for silver.

In order to be able to redeem it in the future, I decisively chose to pawn it alive.

But this way, the money would be much less, but she estimated that it would definitely be enough for her grandparents' family.

By the way, he also pawned all the betrothal gifts given by Jiang Shaohan.

After all, in order to cure Jiang Shaohan, too many expensive and rare medicinal materials are needed.

After giving the instructions, she went to make ointment to change the dressing on Jiang Shaohan's wound.

Not long after, Madam Chu reported that Aunt Zhao from the Grand Tutor's Mansion had brought her concubine Du Jinxi to see her.

Aunt Zhao was a gentle and reserved person. She and Du Jinxi came with a lot of things. Seeing that Du Yunsheng looked fine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fourth Miss, you were too impulsive this time. You know, on the way here this morning with Jinxi, we heard people saying that you had severed ties with the master and moved out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I don't know who spread the rumor, but without the protection of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, what are you going to do in the future?"

Du Yunsheng didn't even need to think about it, he knew it must have been Liang Anqi and Du Yuwei who spread the news.

They probably wanted to beat drums and gongs to let everyone in the capital know that she had left the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

However, they were too happy too soon. One day, they would beg her to return to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Du Jinxi brought a little doll she made this time. Du Yunsheng praised her and rubbed her head and said, "Jinxi, when I have time in the future, I will teach you how to make more interesting dolls, okay?"

"Okay!" Du Jinxi jumped three feet high with joy, holding Du Yunsheng's hand and not wanting to go back. Aunt Zhao persuaded her for a long time before she left reluctantly.

Du Yunsheng felt emotional in her heart. Although Jinxi's talent in mechanical engineering was not as good as hers, she was very willing to work hard.

I can't slack off anymore!

Therefore, she decided to devote herself to the study of mechanical engineering whenever she had time, at least to develop the sleeve needle first!

After sending Aunt Zhao and Du Jinxi out, he was about to go back to his room to continue making the ointment, but he saw Xiang Zhu and Xiao Ming coming back with very unhappy faces.

Du Yunsheng couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiang Zhu was so angry when she thought of what happened today: "Miss, those shops must not want to do business anymore. They don't even want to sell our products. What's worse, they don't even let us in."

Du Yunsheng frowned. This was a bit strange.

"All the stores?"

Xiang Zhu and Xiao Ming shook their heads.

"I don't know, but I asked a lot of families, and when they heard that the slave girl was yours, they said they would not sell her. Besides, everyone seems to know that you have left the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Miss, what should we do?"

Du Yunsheng suddenly realized that it seemed that this was deliberately targeting her.

But who has the ability to make the merchants in the capital stop selling things to her?

Du Yunsheng thought of someone and sneered.

Do you think you can suppress her like this?

She dares to do these things because she is not afraid of the other party.

Judging from the time, it's time for her to come into her own.

In the end, the other party had to kneel down and beg her!

However, in this way, she will have even less time to develop mechanical devices!

……

Yikun Palace.

The queen sat on the couch, sipping the fragrant tea carefully, with smoke rising from the incense burner beside her. She listened leisurely to Nanny Qi talking about Du Yunsheng.

"My queen, after Du Yunsheng was kicked out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she rented a courtyard by herself. The prince has never returned to the palace and has been following her."

When the queen heard this, her eyes narrowed.

"What kind of magic potion did Du Yunsheng give Han'er? He has only been married for a few days, but he has already seduced her soul away. How is the task I asked you to do?"

Madam Qi quickly reported back, "Don't worry, Madam, I've informed you of everything. Du Yunsheng soon discovered that she was completely isolated and had a hard time in the capital."

The queen was delighted to hear this and ordered: "If Han'er wants to take Du Yunsheng back to the palace, tell them that with Du Yunsheng's status, she can only be a concubine!"

……

Du Yunsheng is taking Jiang Shaohan's pulse.

In the past few days, Jiang Shaohan has been taking medicine, and the chronic toxins hidden in his body have been almost eliminated, and his pulse is also steadier and stronger than before.

When I changed the dressing, I saw signs of healing on the wound.

Du Yunsheng was applying medicine to him carefully, but Jiang Shaohan kept staring at her face.

Before, when she was applying medicine to Jiang Shaohan, he also stared at her like this.

However, Du Yunsheng always felt that there was something wrong with his vision today.

Du Yunsheng couldn't help but look up and ask him: "Do I have a morning glory on my face? Why are you looking at it without blinking?"

The corners of Jiang Shaohan's mouth raised slightly and he coughed dryly.

"Xiang Zhu and the others can't buy anything, it must be the Queen Mother's fault. I know that there are concubines in the palace who don't get along with the Queen Mother, so if you go to their mother's shop to buy, they will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Du Yunsheng raised his eyebrows in amusement: "Does this count as turning your elbow outward? What, you finally stopped being a foolish filial son and stopped letting the queen take your life?"
