The three of them returned to the Gong family courtyard. Gong Ruixue was very happy about her victory and went to bed peacefully.

After Gong Ruixue fell asleep, Ling Jing got out of bed, looked at Feng Haoyan who was sitting at the door eating melon seeds with gusto, and climbed over the wall to go out.

Feng Haoyan finished eating the melon seeds in his hand, patted the skin on his hand, stood up and went back to the house to sleep.

Ling Jing carried a basket to the back mountain. There were two small tombs here, and there were no tombstones in them.

Ling Jing took out the paper money and incense candles from the basket and burned them quietly in front of the grave. Thinking back to what Uncle Jiang said today, it turns out that not only his own family was destroyed, but countless people were implicated because they followed their father. Those people's thoughts and plans to harm their own families turned out to have started more than ten years ago. Not only did they want to seek justice for Prince Pingjin's palace, there were also many people who were hoping that Prince Pingjin could help them seek justice.

"Who? Come out!" Ling Jing took out a small folding crossbow from his waist, quickly attached the arrow and pointed it at the woods behind him.

A figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, and the moonlight filtered through the shadow of the tree, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Your Majesty, is that you? Are you still alive?" The man seemed to recognize Ling Jing, took two steps forward, and immediately shot an arrow into the man's feet.

"Stand there, don't move!" Ling Jing maintained a high degree of vigilance.

The man knelt down on one knee and said, "I am here to see the crown prince. I am the secret guard commander of Prince Ping Jin's Mansion, Jin Yi. I have been ordered by Prince Ping Jin to find and protect the crown prince!"

Ling Jing slowly put down the crossbow, but did not relax his vigilance.

Jin Yi took off a token from his body and threw it to Ling Jing along with a letter. Ling Jing picked up the letter and the token. It was true that the token was his father's personal token. He illuminated the letter with a fire stick.

After confirming that it was indeed King Ping Jin's handwriting, he asked Jin Yi to stand up and speak.

Early the next morning, Gong Ruixue and others went to the village chief's house to pick up Xiao Yu'er. Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight.

"Xiao Yu'er, when you go to the house, you must serve the lady carefully. Don't miss home, and don't miss your mother anymore. Don't worry about your grandparents, take care of yourself."

Aunt Jiang couldn't bear it and turned her back. Uncle Jiang told Xiao Yu'er in a calm tone. Xiao Yu'er took the baggage and said nothing. She just knelt down in the direction of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang and kowtowed three times.

Gong Ruixue lifted the car curtain and looked at Uncle Jiang's slightly stooped back. He thought about the night the village chief led people up the mountain to look for him, and also thought about the village chiefs going from village to village to help Ling Jing find his family, and the village chief asking Aunt Jiang to make dishes and bring them home. There were also the corpses of Ling Jing's wet nurse. If other villages had chosen to throw the corpses into mass graves, the village chief insisted on letting the mother and son be buried in peace, so he left a memorial place for Ling Jing.

The village chief is a good and conscientious village chief. He has never treated his family harshly because they are outsiders. Instead, he has taken care of his family when they were most in need. Gong Ruixue couldn't bear that the two old people were homeless, and thought that Aunt Yu had mentioned Uncle Jiang's intention to resign as village chief when she came to deliver breakfast in the morning.

"Uncle Jiang, are you not ready to be the village chief anymore?" Gong Ruixue asked.

Uncle Jiang looked at Gong Ruixue and shook his head: "I'm old and can't do anything anymore."

"Uncle Jiang, after resigning, can I be lucky enough to hire you and Aunt Jiang to be our housekeepers? We don't have an elderly person in charge of our family, so we can't handle many things. We are in short supply of a capable housekeeper like you."

Uncle Jiang looked at the smiling Gong Ruixue in shock: "Hire...hire?"

"Well, I'll give you and your aunt a salary, including food and accommodation. You also have to hand over the responsibilities of the village chief, so don't be in a hurry to reply to me. You two elders will discuss it carefully. When the matter is settled, come to Yuxiuyuan to find us. We will wait. Looking after you and aunt."

After a few people said goodbye, they set off back to the town. On the carriage ride back, Jiang Xiaoyu kept looking at Gong Ruixue with tears in her eyes. She felt a little embarrassed to see Gong Ruixue being so shameless.

"Gong, Rui, Xue! You still know how to come back!" As soon as Gong Ruixue got out of the car, she heard Chen Yining's roar.

Gong Ruixue jumped on Ling Jing's back neatly, slapped Ling Jing and urged: "Ling Xiaojing, run! Hurry up!"

Ling Jingjia easily carried Gong Ruixue on his back and used Qinggong to jump onto the courtyard wall and quickly left the battlefield.

"Ling Jing! Just let her go! It's lawless!" Chen Yining put her hands on her hips.

"Aunt Chen, I'm going home first." Pang Jiqing hurriedly saluted Chen Yining, fearing that he would also be educated.

After Chen Yining sent Pang Jiqing away, he noticed Jiang Xiaoyu standing quietly aside.

"Xiao Yu'er? Are you here to play? Come in quickly! Come on! Aunt Huai, say hello."

Jiang Xiaoyu took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "Slave Jiang Xiaoyu has met Madam."

Gong Ruixue called Chen Yining and Gong Hetong together and told them what happened yesterday when they rescued Xiao Yu'er. Jiang Hongjiang's actions made the two of them very angry, and they agreed with Gong Ruixue's approach. Xiao Yu'er's child's status is better in her own home than in someone else's. When the child grows up and finds someone she likes, she can prepare a dowry for her and free her from slavery.

Gong Ruixue also told them about inviting Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang to come to the house to take charge. The more people the family supports, the more expenses there will be, and the burden on the family will become even greater.

"You don't need to worry about making money. There are many ways. We are also thinking ahead for the future. Xiao Jing will have to have one or two reliable people to serve him in the future. Jiang Hongjiang will definitely tell him about this when he returns to the Wang family. Master, either Jiang Hongjiang, a small figure, cannot cause any commotion, and this matter will be left alone. Or... in short, we in the village and in the suburbs must pay more attention to not let those dandies take advantage of it. "

Gong Hetong is even more worried that his family does not have the absolute strength to compete with a high official like the prefect. If the prefect is a sensible person, then his family will be fine, but he is afraid that the prefect is a bastard.

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door.

Chen Yining opened the door, and Tiansi immediately knelt in front of Gong Ruixue: "Miss, please save Diwu!"

"Miss, Mr. Qi next door sent someone to invite you over, saying that the first patient has arrived." At this time, Zhu Zhu reported at the door.

"Tiansi, do what you should do, and I will do my best to save Diwu." Gong Ruixue patted Tiansi on the shoulder to express comfort.

I happened to see Aunt Zhang taking Xiao Yu'er to get familiar with the yard, so she called out: "Xiao Yu'er, go to my room and get the medicine box next to the bed, and follow me."

When Gong Ruixue saw Di Wu, her left arm had been cut in half, and a large hole had been ripped open in her abdomen. The sheets underneath her were stained red with blood, and her intestines were exposed.

"Prepare a lot of strong liquor immediately, a clean room and bed, and the more clean gauze the better, hurry up. Where is Feng Haoyan? Call him quickly!"

Gong Ruixue couldn't care less about her splinted feet. She threw away her crutches and used her internal energy to temporarily help Diwu stop the bleeding. At the same time, she inserted her internal energy into the broken arm to find a way to keep the severed limb alive.

"Little... little..." When Di Wu saw Gong Ruixue, he wanted to call her, and a stream of blood poured out of his mouth.

Gong Ruixue whispered in Di Wu's ear: "Xiao Wu, hold on, don't fall asleep. I'm here, and I can save you as long as you stay awake. I order you to hold on, don't sleep!"

Di Wu gritted his teeth and nodded.
