Chapter 175 When you feel bad, go find Xiangjun
Mr. Ye walked in from outside and saw Ning Yao throwing a tantrum. His brows were furrowed. At this moment, for some reason, he felt a little relieved that his daughter did not marry into such a family.
Seeing Master Ye, Ning Yao restrained herself a little, but she still said it again, "You have many connections, you can't just stand by and watch someone die."
Master Ye said in a deep voice, "This matter is not a question of whether I can save him or not, but a question of whether I can save him or not. If I could save him, I would have helped him a long time ago."
Ning Yao was confused by Master Ye's question about whether to save him or not. "Don't give me that nonsense. Just tell me whether you will save him or not."
Master Ye was furious, "I can't even save myself."
Ning Yao dragged her injured leg and gritted her teeth, "Okay, if that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he rushed to the yard and said, "Everyone, come and see, your second daughter of the Ye family is a slut, a piece of slut. She climbed into another man's bed before she even got married, and she still wants my son to pick up rags. Bah."
Master Ye covered his chest on the spot. He had never heard such dirty words in his entire scholar life. "You...you are a shrew. Cover her mouth quickly."
The yard was soon filled with people. The maids, servants, and boys of the Ye family all came and whispered to Ning Yao, discussing heatedly.
Ye Xiujun fainted immediately.
Madam Ye pinched Ye Xiuyun's philtrum and cried so sadly.
The servants rushed towards Ning Yaoshi. Ning Yaoshi took out a short knife from somewhere and said, "Don't come over here. If you come over here, don't blame me for being rude."
The servant was timid and dared not step forward.
Master Ye looked at his daughter, then at Ning Yao in the courtyard, "They're rebelling, they're rebelling, why don't you arrest them for me?"
Ning Yao pointed at her thigh and said, "Did you see that? I smashed it myself. For my son, I didn't even want to give up my legs. So don't mess with me. I have a worthless life. My son can't survive. What's the point of living? If that's the case, I'll take someone with me when I die."
The Ye family had been in danger for some time, and the servants were already planning their future. Seeing Ning Yao's desperate look, the servants no longer dared to rush forward without caring about their lives.
Seeing this, Master Ye could only say, "Okay, I'll save Ning Zhengqing."
When Ning Yao heard this, she stopped swearing.
Master Ye said in a deep voice, "From what I know, Ning Zhengqing will be taken to the capital along with County Magistrate Cui for interrogation. Ning Zhengqing has only been with County Magistrate Cui for a short time, so it won't be a big problem. When we get to the capital, I'll use my connections to speak well of him, and I'm sure his death sentence will be spared."
Ning Yao thought of what Jiang Yutong said and knew that Mr. Ye still had some connections in the capital, but what should she do if Mr. Ye ignored her when they got to the capital?
"No, words are not enough, how can I believe you?"
Ning Yao thought that the capital was far away and the emperor was high up. If she really went to the capital, she might never see Ning Zhengqing again in her life, even if she could see him once before leaving.
Master Ye had had enough of this day. "Then what do you say we should do? I don't have the ability to save him now."
Ning Yao stiffened her neck and said, "Write a letter saying that you sent Qing'er to County Magistrate Cui. Qing'er is your pawn."
Mr. Ye would never write such a document. Wouldn't this drag him into trouble?
But there was no way Ning Yao would let him go. He had seen this country woman before, so now he could only fulfill her wish.
"Okay, I'll write."
Ning Yao continued, "I want to see Qing'er. Please help me find a way."
"How can I help you?"
Ning Yaoshi didn't care about that. "I don't care. If you don't let me see Qing'er, I will definitely spread your family's scandal everywhere."
Master Ye finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Wait for my news."
In the end, no one knew what method Mr. Ye came up with, but he still let Ning Yao meet Ning Zhengqing. In the dim cell, they didn't say a word at all. Ning Zhengqing just told Ning Yao to leave it alone.
"Mom, I won't be able to be by your side to fulfill my filial duties for the rest of my life. Please take care of yourself."
Ning Yao burst into tears. This was her precious baby, who had been raised in her hands since childhood.
Ning Yao knew she couldn't do anything, so she simply told him about Ye Xiujun's situation in a deep voice and took out the document written by Master Ye. "They promised to use their connections to help you in the capital. Remember this secret, so they can help you when the need arises."
Seeing Ning Zhengqing's calm face, Ning Yaoshi thought he was too grieving. "Qing'er, staying alive is the most important thing now. Everything else is secondary. Don't be sad."
Ning Zhengqing was not too sad when he heard that Ye Xiujun had already lost her virginity and had conspired to deceive him. Perhaps after this incident, he had already decided that there was no possibility for him to be with Ye Xiujun. It was even a question of his own survival, so what did love matter to him?
"Mother, I know."
Ning Yao did everything she could and stopped the prince's carriage at the last moment before leaving the city.
I just hope I can help Ning Zhengqing.
On the other side, the team leaving Beijing was traveling in a mighty procession on the official road.
Jiang Yutong's carriage was in the middle section, and Xiao Yifeng and Jiang Yuwen would occasionally come over to take a look.
The journey was long and the carriage was shaking, making people dizzy. Jiang Yutong stayed in the carriage most of the time. Fortunately, Xia Zhu and Sang Ye had experience in long journeys and made the carriage very comfortable.
It is covered with thick wool felt, suitable for sleeping and lying.
In preparation for the trip, Jiang Yutong specially made a lot of dried meat and some long-lasting dry food, so that she would not go hungry even if she could not find a place to stay on the road in time.
Jiang Yutong had just woken up from a nap and stretched. "Where are we?"
Dongmei saw Yutong wake up and brought her a glass of warm water, "Miss, we're almost in Huizhou."
Jiang Yutong lifted the car curtain. The scenery of Huizhou was nice, with green mountains. He remembered that there was a very famous mountain here, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance to visit it.
Jiang Yutong looked at the sky and said, "Then I should be able to stay overnight in Huizhou tonight."
Xia Zhu also smiled and said, "We have been traveling for several days. Today we can have a good rest."
Sure enough, not long after, Shi Zhiwen, who was beside Xiao Yifeng, rode up to him on horseback. "My dear, the prince asked me to come and tell you that we'll be arriving in Huizhou soon. The prince will be resting here. If you need anything, just tell me or I'll arrange for someone to buy it for you."
Jiang Yutong smiled and thanked Shi Zhiwen, "Thank you for your help, General Shi."
Then he took out two bags of snacks from the carriage and handed them over, one to Shi Zhiwen and one to Xiao Yifeng.
"Please give it to the prince for me. It's a long journey, so please eat and have fun."
Shi Zhiwen smiled and thanked Jiang Yutong.
Every time the prince sent someone to deliver a message, Jiang Yutong would give everyone some snacks. Now everyone was scrambling to come to Jiang Yutong to deliver the message.
It’s not that everyone is greedy, it’s just that the things Jiang Yutong sent are beautiful and delicious, and they are something no one has ever seen before.
This time, Jiang Yutong prepared some homemade snacks made with kumquats and licorice, which have the effect of moistening the lungs and nourishing the body. Nowadays, official roads are all dirt roads, and the weather is dry, so it is very dusty. I don’t know how much dust I eat every day.
Jiang Yutong specifically told Jiang Yuwen to eat a little every day, because Jiang Yuwen basically rode a horse on the road.
Shi Zhiwen quickly came to Xiao Yifeng and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang asked me to bring it here."
Xiao Yifeng took the thing that Shi Zhiwen handed over. It was golden yellow and looked good. He put one in his mouth and ate it. It was sweet but not greasy, very refreshing and tasted good.
Xiao Yifeng's mood improved, and the depression he had just felt at the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had dissipated a lot.
Seeing that the prince was in a much better mood, Shi Zhiwen secretly decided that next time the prince was in a bad mood, he would look for Jiang Xiangjun.
Shi Zhiwen and Xiao Yifeng grew up together and knew that this trip to the capital would definitely not be a pleasant one. He just hoped that he could leave safely.
