Chapter 124 Take in A Girl and Settle Victims

"Conscienceless! As victims, we wanted to come to Jing City, but they came after us and wanted to kill us. Not only did we not have food to eat, but we also hid ourselves from place to place. My wife survived the flood, but she was killed by these officials!" When the old man spoke again, tears appeared in his eyes!

After listening, Yang Zijin was more puzzled. She asked, "Why did they do this?"

"Why did they do this? Jiangdu has a lot of precipitation every year, but the dam was destroyed at the beginning of this year's precipitation season. This spring, the money for the construction of the dam has been given by Jing City. It must be these officials who cut corners. They must privately take the money as their own." When speaking, his eyes revealed anger and helplessness!

This young man also said, "Unexpectedly, going through much suffering, we came to Jing City, but we were regarded as rioters. We were refused to enter the city. Some people came out to resist and were killed on the spot. We can only wait here for death. How could it be like this?"

After hearing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but get angry. It turned out to be punishing someone as a warning to others. No wonder he just threatened Xian, but didn't take the next step!

She had heard about this Young Master Lan. He was the son of the Empress's younger brother, Prime Minister Lan. His name was Lan Ruojing.

It was said that Prime Minister Lan was responsible for this batch of silver. After the incident, maybe he wanted to keep these victims out of the gate of the city so that they would retreat in the face of difficulties. Then the Emperor would not know about this incident!

In the process, he would have more time to find a way.

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin said loudly to the victims, "Please rest assured. These days, I will send people to distribute food at the gate of the city. We will solve the problem of food and clothing firstly. I will try to report it."

Hearing Yang Zijin's words, these victims put down their bowls and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Yang Zijin. "Your Highness is really a good girl, a living Bodhisattva!"

"You don't have to do this. Get up quickly!" Yang Zijin quickly squatted down and helped the people kneeling in front of her!

Then she said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will report this matter as soon as possible!"

"Thank you, thank you!" After hearing this, the hope that had been shattered in their hearts was ignited again, and the person who ignited it was Yang Zijin!

At this time, Yang Zijin turned around and walked to Pei Moning. "Brother, please take care of them for me. Please send someone to put up some tents for them. They are weak. If they sleep rough again, I'm afraid they will get sick."

"Don't worry about it. I will help them!" After listening, patting his chest, Pei Moning said to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin nodded. She suddenly thought of the epidemic the man said, so she said, "Brother, if some people are already sick, they should live separately to avoid infection."

There was a reason for her to do so! These people had travelled a long way. Some of them had been coughing all the time just now. It was inevitable that some diseases would infect other people.

"I see. Go back quickly." Pei Moning nodded.

After that, Yang Zijin called Xian and said, "Send me back to the city first, and then send the carriage back!"

"Okay, Your highness!" Xian answered.

Yang Zijin turned around and got into the carriage. Xian turned the carriage around and drove it towards the city!

Inside the carriage, Yue asked Yang Zijin, "Sister, where are we going?"

"Take you home, of course. There are many older sisters to play with you." Yang Zijin said to Yue with a smile.

Hearing this, Yue looked at Yang Zijin happily, "Many sisters? Are they as kind and beautiful as you?"

"Of course." While saying, Yang Zijin pinched Yue's nose.

Then Yang Zijin said to Yue, "Would you like to go to school with other children?"

"Go to school? Is it true, sister?" Hearing that she could go to school, Yue was a little happy, but she still asked Yang Zijin with some uncertainty.

"It's true." Looking at Yue, Yang Zijin nodded with a smile.

After hearing Yang Zijin's exact answer, Yue's face was full of excitement, but after a while, the smile on her face slowly disappeared!

Seeing this, Yang Zijin quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"I had always wanted to go to school. My mother said that she would send me to school after she harvested the crops and got money. But now my mother and father are dead." There were tears in Yue's eyes when she said this!

Seeing this, Yang Zijin quickly said, "Don't cry. There are some things we can't change, but we can make ourselves strong enough. Only when we become stronger will we not be bullied! Do you know?"

"I see, sister!" Yue did not fully understand, but she nodded.

"Good!" She looked at her. Yue's face was dirty with a few tears. Some parts of her clothes had been broken.

Yang Zijin raised the curtain and said to Xian, "Go to the market first!"

"Okay!" Xian replied, driving the carriage.

When they arrived at the market, Yang Zijin walked into a clothes shop and decided to choose two suits of clothes for Yue first. Otherwise, because of her dirty look, maybe she would be bullied and isolated by some children when she went to school!

The owner in the shop saw them coming in and quickly welcomed them, "Miss, come and take a look at the clothes. There are all kinds of styles here. You can try it if you like!"

"Well, find me two sets of clothes for this child!" Yang Zijin sat straight on a chair in the room, pointing to Yue beside her.

The shopkeeper looked Yue up and down, and Yue was scared to hide behind Yang Zijin.

Then Yang Zijin said, "What's the problem?"

"Ah... No problem, I'll get it now." Hearing Yang Zijin's words, the shopkeeper said quickly.

The shopkeeper walked to the back and soon returned, holding two sets of clothes that looked like high-quality in his hands. He went to Yang Zijin and said, "Miss, the clothes in the shop are made of good fabrics, so the price will be higher!"

Ignoring the shopkeeper and picking up the clothes, Yang Zijin turned around and asked Yue with a smile, "Yue, do you like this dress?"

"Yes!" At this time, Yue nodded behind Yang Zijin.

Then Yang Zijin put the clothes on the table and said to the shopkeeper, "OK, wrap it up for me!"

"Do you want a set or..." The shopkeeper looked at Yang Zijin and asked.

Yang Zijin then said, "Wrap all up for me!"

"Okay, I'm going to wrap them up!" Hearing Yang Zijin's words, the shopkeeper said quickly.

The shopkeeper wrapped up the clothes and took them to Yang Zijin. With a smile on his face, he said, "Miss, you need to pay two taels of silver for these two sets of clothes!"

Taking the clothes, Yang Zijin took out a piece of silver and put it on the table. "Just keep the change."

Then she pulled Yue out of the shop, and the voice of the shopkeeper came from behind.

"Thank you very much, Miss. Welcome to my shop next time!"

Yang Zijin got into the carriage and said to Xian, "Go back to the Blossoming Peach first!"

When they arrived at the Blossoming Peach, Yang Zijin led Yue into her room in the backyard.

Zixia and Ni Chang saw Yang Zijin come back with a dirty child, and they ran over quickly.

They walked into the room. Looking at the dirty little girl, they asked, "Your Highness, this..."

"You've come just in time. I'm about to find you." Seeing Zixia and Ni Chang coming in, Yang Zijin looked up and said.

Zixia and Ni Chang looked at each other and said, "What happened?"

"She's Yue, and she will live here in the future." Yang Zijin looked at Yue and said.

Then she said, "I still have something to do. You take Yue to take a shower and change clothes. Cook some food for her, and then send her to school to be familiar with it."

"Yes, Your highness." They answered.

Without more words, they knew that the infanta had mercy upon others again. Qixi and Lu'an were taken in by the infanta when they were in trouble.

At this time, Zixia came forward and said to the little girl, "Yue, would you like to take a bath first?"

While saying, Zixia put her hand in front of the little girl!

The little girl stood behind Yang Zijin and looked at Zixia with some fear!

"Your Highness!" Seeing this, Zixia looked at Yang Zijin!

At this time, Yang Zijin turned around and said to Yue, "Don't worry. I still have something to do. So, I won't stay here. You can follow sister Zixia to change clothes. When I finish my work, I will come to see you, OK?"

"Okay!" Hearing Yang Zijin's words, Yue nodded.

Ni Chang, on the other side, walked forward and said, "Hello, Yue!"

Yue looked at Ni Chang and nodded.

"That's a nice name. Follow me." Seeing the little girl respond, Ni Chang put her hand in front of the little girl while saying.

Yue put her little black hand on Ni Chang's hand and followed them out!

After arranging Yue, Yang Zijin also came out of the room.

At this time, Xian was standing at the door. Yang Zijin said to him as she walked, "Let's go to the mansion of Marquis Shuo!"

Xian hurriedly followed her after hearing this!

...

Qiao Shu was waiting for Shuo Ling in Yang Zijin's room and fell asleep unconsciously.

At this time, Shuo Ling also came back, feeling very upset.

He heard something from the spy in the palace and knew that the Emperor had already known about the card. He was looking for an opportunity to deal with Yang Zijin.

When he heard the news, he began to find out how Chushi Youtian knew it.

Did he arrange a spy in the mansion of Duke Mu, or...?

After investigation, finally, he found it was because of Chushi Weiming!

Why did Chushi Weiming know about Yang Zijin's card? Without a doubt, it must be Li Mingzi who told him after she discovered it.

It was just that Chushi Weiming was foolish. Originally, he married Miss Liu. Though Chushi Youtian had guessed something, he still took actions repeatedly these days. He was so eager to get the card!

He even sent the hidden guard to do this! This guard was discovered by the people sent by the Emperor to spy on Chushi Weiming. They followed Chushi Weiming's guard carefully and saw him enter the mansion of Duke Mu, and then saw him enter the room of Yang Zijin!

On second thought, Chushi Youtian knew why Chushi Weiming did this!

Although Chushi Youtian was disappointed with this Chushi Weiming, he didn't want to do much. Chushi Weiming was impatient and impetuous. He would not succeed. So, he let people continue to spy on him!

But Chushi Youtian planned to prevent them from getting married tomorrow. Presumably, Chushi Youtian was afraid that if he knew the secret of the card and the cause of old Marquis Shuo's death, he would do something bad to him.

Also, if Yang Zijin became his wife, it would be harder for him to deal with her.

He just didn't know what the Emperor was going to do to stop the marriage tomorrow!

At this time, when Shuo Ling passed by the yard of Yang Zijin, he found that the door was open.

Shuo Ling couldn't help feeling happy. Then he quickly walked into the courtyard and saw someone sleeping with her head resting on the table. Shuo Ling couldn't see her face, so he thought she was Yang Zijin.

He took off his coat and put it on her.

Hearing the voice, Qiao Shu quickly opened her eyes. When she found she was wearing Shuo Ling's clothes, she couldn't help but feel happy, "You're back, Your Lordship."

"Why are you here? Get out!" Seeing that it was Qiao Shu, Shuo Ling asked coldly with a cold face.

At this time, Qiao Shu could not help feeling pain in her heart. It turned out that Shuo Ling regarded her as Yang Zijin.

At this time, Qiao Shu stood up. Looking at Shuo Ling, she said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have something to say to you. I will leave after I say it."

Seeing that Shuo Ling turned around, Qiao Shu said, "Your Lordship, tomorrow you will get married. I have some words to tell you. If I don't tell you again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
