The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 80

The next morning, when Jingyi opened her eyes, she turned her head and looked at the low couch. It was clean and tidy. How could it look like someone had slept there? Jingyi smiled and thought that it must have been cleaned by Siqin. I'm afraid it was the same last time.

After Jingyi got up and washed, she had breakfast, took a book from the table, and slowly read it.

Nanny He and Haitang were stunned. What happened to the young lady? When she got up yesterday, she was still urging to go to see the uncle quickly. Why is she not in a hurry today?

Liu Xing'er is young and speaks directly, "Young lady, are you not going to the general's mansion today?"

"Yeah." Jingyi responded lightly, and then stopped talking and concentrated on reading.

After an unknown amount of time, Jingyi finally put down the book in her hand, rubbed her stiff neck with her hand and said, "Madam He, has mother been to the general's mansion?"

"My lady, she did. Madam waited in the front hall for a while, and when she saw that my lady hadn't arrived, she thought that my lady hadn't woken up yet, so she told the servants not to disturb my lady's sleep, and went alone."

"Yes. Did my eldest brother go to the military camp as well?"

"Yes. The eldest young master went to the military camp today."

Jingyi nodded, and after a while, she said softly, "Prepare the car, I'm going to Ping'an Hall."

Madam He was stunned, thinking that my lady was going to the general's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be Ping'an Hall? Before she left, she heard Jingyi order again, "Call Brother Qingtian to go with me."

Madam He agreed and went out to make arrangements.

She and Qingtian, one riding a horse and the other taking a car, soon arrived at Ping'an Hall. But neither of them had the intention to stop, and they walked straight on. Now Madam He and Haitang were a little confused. I saw Qingtian riding in front, and Jingyi's carriage following behind. Soon, they passed through a wide street and two alleys. They stopped in front of a private house.

Jingyi sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain with her hand and looked at Qingtian, winked at him, and Qingtian understood, jumped, and entered the private house.

This action scared He Ma and others. This young master Qingtian is breaking into a private house! This is against the laws of Dayuan! They looked at each other, wanting to persuade Jingyi to leave, but they didn't know what Jingyi was doing? They didn't know how to persuade her. For a while, the carriage was surprisingly quiet. Jingyi suddenly said, "Wait at the entrance of the alley in front."

The coachman drove the carriage slowly to the entrance of the alley and stopped, while Jingyi leaned on the soft backrest and read a medical book.

Qingtian entered the house and saw that it was a two-entry courtyard. In the front yard, there was a carriage parked. In the back yard, there were several strong men walking back and forth, obviously keeping watch for the people in the house.

Qingtian's eyes darkened, and he flew onto the roof of the main house. Hiding behind the ridge, he gently lifted the tiles. He saw a person standing in the middle, who was the eldest prince Li Zheng. And not far from him, there was a girl sitting on a chair, who was Gu Yu!

Gu Yu looked pale, with tears on her face. She pleaded softly, "Prince, please. My father is in urgent need of this blood lotus to save his life. Please lend a hand. I will never forget your kindness! One day, I will repay you generously."

The prince turned and walked to the table beside him. There was a small box on the table. He patted it lightly and said, "Miss Gu, the blood lotus is in this box. If you don't believe it, you can check it."

Gu Yu glanced at the prince, then at the box, a little hesitant. In the end, she stood up and walked towards the small box. With shaking hands, she gently opened the box.

Qingtian could see clearly on the roof that there was no doubt that it was filled with blood lotus. She couldn't help but raise her eyes and smiled a little evilly.

Gu Yu looked at it and felt that it was similar to what Jingyi said, so she plucked up her courage, bowed and said: "Please, the eldest prince, give the blood lotus to me. I will never forget it."

"Never forget it?" The eldest prince smiled and said: "Miss Gu, the blood lotus was obtained by my subordinates at the risk of their lives. Why should I give it to you? You and I are not related, and we don't seem to be very familiar with each other. Tell me, why should I give such a precious thing to a completely unrelated person?"

Gu Yu's face was pale at this time. No matter how innocent she was, she understood the meaning of the eldest prince's words at this time, but she still held a glimmer of hope and said: "Eldest prince, General Weiyuan's Mansion will definitely reward you generously in the future." After that, she stood up and bowed.

The eldest prince laughed: "Tomorrow? I think today is a good day. I wonder what Miss Gu thinks?"

Gu Yu shivered with fear and subconsciously took a step back, saying with a trembling voice: "Eldest Prince, you, you are a prince of high position and power, but you must pay attention to your prince's etiquette."

The eldest prince actually laughed and slowly approached her, "Miss Gu. The so-called single man and single woman in the same room, do you think that the prince does not need men and women to love?"

This was said very explicitly and very vulgarly. At this time, Gu Yu had retreated to the corner of the wall, and there was no place to retreat.

Seeing the tall figure of the eldest prince pressing over.

Suddenly, the eldest prince groaned and fell to the ground. At the same time, two figures fell from the roof beam at the same time!

One of them was Si Hua, sent by Jing Yi. She stepped forward and gently hugged Gu Yu, saying, "Don't be afraid. Miss Su asked me to come."

When Gu Yu was in Jingyang Palace, she saw a woman with kung fu who obeyed Jing Yi's words. Si Hua's words made her believe it a little. Another figure blocked Si Hua and said coldly, "Leave her to me. You can't get out with her."

Si Hua snorted, "I am here to take Miss Gu away on the orders of the young lady. You don't need to bother."

The figure froze, "You!"

Qingtian had already uncovered a large piece of tiles on the roof, threw down a rope, and shouted softly inside, "Hey, don't stand there, come up quickly!"

When Si Hua saw that it was the young lady's senior brother, he asked Gu Yu to hold the rope tightly and asked Qingtian to slowly pull him up.

Qingtian was afraid of alarming the guards outside, so he moved very slowly. It took a full quarter of an hour to pull Gu Yu up, then he held Gu Yu in his arms and flew away, no longer paying attention to the two people inside.

Si Hua looked at the man for a moment, knowing that the other party was a friend, not an enemy, so he dodged and took the small box of blood-letting lotus into his arms. The two listened to the noise outside, and then jumped onto the roof one after the other and flew away.

But before leaving, Si Hua seemed to sprinkle some powder on the eldest prince, but it disappeared in an instant.

Qingtian ran directly to the entrance of the alley with Gu Yu in his arms and saw Jingyi's carriage. Qingtian knocked twice, and the curtain opened, "Miss cousin?" Haitang exclaimed.

Jingyi put down the book and said anxiously: "Come up quickly."

Qingtian handed in a small box first. It was the blood lotus that Si Hua had just taken out of the house.

Haitang helped Gu Yu get on the carriage. Gu Yu looked frightened and trembled all over. Jingyi didn't say much, and ordered outside, "Hurry to General Weiyuan's Mansion." The driver heard the order and whipped the carriage. The carriage turned out of the alley and galloped on the wide street. Jingyi looked at Gu Yu who was a little dazed and shook her head. Gu Yu was too naive and believed everything anyone said! This time, she also gave Si Hua an order not to take action until Gu Yu was completely desperate! It was to make Gu Yu remember it for a long time! The matter of Jingyang Palace has not allowed Gu Yu to really grow up, but this time, seeing that Gu Yu is still frightened, he should have remembered it for a long time! Qingtian rode a horse in front to open the way, and no one noticed that there was a figure following far behind. When it was almost to General Weiyuan's Mansion, there was a burst of urgent horse hoof sounds behind the carriage. Jingyi frowned. Did they catch up so quickly? Hearing the increasingly urgent sound of horse hooves, Gu Yu was a little worried and said, "Yiyi, could they be chasing us? What should we do?"

Jingyi coaxed her softly, "It's okay. You're overthinking it. This is a street, and it's normal to hear horse hooves."

Although she said so, Jingyi was also worried. She felt that her heart was hanging in her throat. If they really came to rob the blood lotus, what should they do? Uncle is still waiting for the blood lotus to save his life, and he must not lose the blood lotus! But what if those people forcibly robbed it? Jingyi was thinking about whether to let Si Hua show up to stop those people. In this way, Si Hua would be exposed, and how would she explain the matter of the hidden guard?

While she was thinking, the urgent sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped! Only a few horses neighing came from outside, and then a messy sound was heard. There were sounds of things falling, people shouting and cursing, and the sound of some things breaking.

Jingyi was relieved at this time. She lifted the small curtain and looked out. General Weiyuan was right in front of her. She looked back and found that the horses of those people were startled. The people also fell to the ground, destroying the goods of some small vendors on both sides, and it seemed that some people were injured.

Jingyi looked from a distance and it seemed that there was a figure on horseback watching the excitement behind those people. Although it was far away and she couldn't see clearly, Jingyi felt that the person must be laughing at this time!

Jingyi put down the curtain and sat in the carriage, puzzled. Was it that person who helped them just now? But although I didn't see his appearance clearly, I didn't know him from his figure. Why did he help them?

Jingyi shook her head and stopped thinking about it. It's more important to save my uncle first!
