After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 287 Sending Zhuangzi Away (2 chapters merged into 1 chapter)

Tiansheng’s words made Lin Shuyue feel mixed emotions.

It turned out that Tiansheng and his men had run all over the outer city just for her words, and even risked exposing the matter of Honghe Tower.

If she had not discovered Tiansheng yesterday afternoon, not to mention the danger he would be in after being exposed, the out-of-control carriage would have killed him on the spot.

However, it seems that all of the children are born with good character, so it would be a good idea to keep them, as we will need manpower in the future.

That night, Shopkeeper Wu, who was sleeping soundly, was secretly arrested. An hour later, a team of Jinyiwei sneaked into a small courtyard and took away two burly men.

At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Han walked out of the dungeon with three confessions. He looked up at the starry sky, sighed silently, then mounted his horse and headed towards the imperial city.

That night, except for a few court officials and dignitaries who vaguely heard the noise in their houses, most people were still fast asleep, completely unaware of the bloody storm outside, nor that an old marquisate was about to be destroyed.

The next day, the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace, Mrs. Mei, and the young princess Xiao Yatong came to Qinglu Lane with a carriage full of gifts to express their gratitude. The mother and daughter had lunch at Lin's house and then left.

After seeing off the Mei mother and daughter, Lin Shuyue took Qinghe and Qingzhi back to the backyard to sort out the pile of thank-you gifts.

They were all cloth, supplements, tea, gold and silver jewelry, etc. In addition, there was also a deed to a farm outside the city. Looking at the contents of the deed, the farm must be quite large.

When Mei took it out, she didn't know what it was. But when she took it and opened it, she found it was a deed from Zhuangzi, so she quickly refused it.

In her opinion, she just saved a little girl, so how could she dare to accept such an expensive thank-you gift? You have to know that the farms near the capital have long been divided up by the wealthy and powerful families, and others cannot buy them even if they have money.

Mei had never expected that the box contained Zhuangzi's deed. She was surprised but secretly admired her father-in-law's generosity.

However, thinking of her father-in-law's temper, she quickly persuaded Lin Shuyue to accept it, and even mentioned the old prince, telling her that this manor was a gift from her father-in-law, the Prince of Zhennan.

It turned out that yesterday, after Mei brought her children back home, she was directly called over by the old prince. The old prince was relieved only after he saw with his own eyes that his beloved granddaughter was fine.

After asking about what happened, the old prince heard that it was a little girl who saved his granddaughter. He also learned that his granddaughter's savior was the little girl who was often praised in his son's letter. He immediately felt a liking for Lin Shuyue, whom he had never met before.

Early this morning, the steward of the old prince's courtyard found Mei with a box and said that it was a thank-you gift specially prepared by the old prince for Lin Shuyue, as well as a meeting gift. He also reminded her to remember to invite the little girl from the Lin family to come to the house to play.

As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused, so Lin Shuyue had no choice but to accept the Zhuangzi deed. In her heart, she was silently thinking about preparing a gift for the old prince next time, otherwise she would not feel at ease accepting it.

After putting the valuables into the space, she went to the front yard to watch Tiansheng and the other children practice martial arts.

The children were more enthusiastic about practicing martial arts than she had imagined. They got up at dawn today, quickly washed up, ran around the front yard, and then practiced basic skills under the guidance of Qingsheng.

Unlike the calmness in the Lin residence, the court was in turmoil. Many ministers only found out after entering the palace that the reason why Pingyuan Hou’s house was searched overnight was that he had colluded with the enemy and was also suspected of murdering the empress.

For a moment, the relatives of the Pingyuan Marquis were dumbfounded. When they heard that the emperor had handed over the case to the Jinyiwei, they were shocked.

Every family has its own troubles. If the Jinyiwei are brought in because of one's in-laws, one will be in big trouble, because the Jinyiwei are so ruthless.

After they had endured the morning court session in a state of anxiety, they sent someone to deliver a letter back home as soon as the court session was over, asking their wives to immediately divorce their daughters-in-law or granddaughters-in-law from the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

In Jingyang Palace, a pale and skinny woman was drinking medicine with a frown on her brow. Emperor Zhou, who was sitting beside the bed, looked at the woman with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

"Zhao Zhao, I have good news for you. Yun Zhi has the medicine. Once you get it, you will get better."

Empress Sikong took the handkerchief handed to her by the palace maid and gently wiped her mouth. Then she looked at Emperor Zhou and said calmly, "I am sorry to trouble Your Majesty."

Her eyes were very calm, without a trace of joy, and her words were extremely cold.

Emperor Zhou was already accustomed to her indifference. She had not smiled since Zhang'er disappeared.

"Zhao Zhao, take good care of yourself. Don't worry, the matter of Pingyuan Marquis's mansion colluding with the enemy will not affect the Yingguo Duke's mansion. Yunzhi has already found out that Wu Chuan was planted by Pingyuan Marquis to be next to the younger brother of the second young lady of the Yingguo Duke's mansion. The younger brother of the second young lady of the Yingguo Duke's mansion can only be convicted of negligence at most."

Empress Sikong looked out the window quietly, and her voice came softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Forget it, you have a good rest."

Emperor Zhou sighed silently, instructed the palace servants to take good care of the queen before turning around and leaving.

Walking out of the palace, the setting sun shone on him, making people inexplicably feel his loneliness and fatigue.

Empress Sikong, who was sitting on the couch, turned her head and suddenly found that the emperor had lost so much weight.

Two days passed, and the atmosphere in the capital was still tense. From time to time, the ferocious Jinyiwei could be seen ransacking homes. There were fewer gangsters and thieves on the streets in the past two days.

That day, Lin Shuyue went to Songfeng Pavilion again, still to the same private room as last time.

Ye Han sat up straight and asked, "Miss Lin, what did your teacher say?"

"Master Ye, to be honest, Master didn't agree at first. Now that Master has reached the Xiantian realm, there is nothing that can tempt him. Besides, this medicine is really rare, and it is made from natural treasures."

Lin Shuyue shrugged helplessly. Seeing Ye Han's nervous expression, she continued, "Later, I also persuaded Master in a letter, telling him that the person who was poisoned was the mother of a country. In the end, Master relented."

"The medicine should be delivered this afternoon. I will deliver it directly to your residence. As for what to exchange it for, Master said that it is up to the emperor to decide. It can't be given for free."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Han was overjoyed, and he immediately stood up and bowed to Lin Shuyue to thank her: "Your teacher is a kind and righteous person, and I also want to thank Miss Lin for helping me speak up."

"Master Ye, there is no need to be so polite. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Lin Shuyue stood up, but counted silently in her heart: three, two, one...

As soon as she counted to one, a white bird flew in from the window, landed directly on the table in front of her, and made another crisp chirping sound.

"Baibai! You're amazing. You got here so quickly!"

She happily touched the bird's little head, and the white bird also rubbed her hand gently with its little head.

"This is?"

Ye Han looked at the white bird on the table in surprise. He had never seen such a beautiful bird.

I saw that the bird was slightly larger than a pigeon, with snow-white and fluffy feathers all over its body, a thin and curved but not long pink beak, long and flowing feathers on its tail, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

"This is the bird my master raised. I named it Baibai. It helps me and my master pass messages."

Lin Shuyue took off the small bamboo tube tied with a rope from Baibai's feet, and praised her: "My Baibai is really amazing. He found my sister so quickly. I will reward you with dried meat later."

She uncorked the small bamboo tube and poured out an extremely small jade bottle. After uncorking the bottle and smelling it, she nodded with satisfaction, "Well, yes, this is the medicine."

Then he handed the jade bottle to Ye Han, "Yes, Lord Ye, take the medicine. This medicine is called Yangrong Pills, which can restore vitality and blood in the human body. It works quickly."

Ye Han shifted his gaze away from Bai Bai, carefully took the jade bottle, and suppressed his excitement as he once again solemnly thanked Lin Shuyue.

.......

Chapter 288 Mad Dog

Lin Shuyue was feeding Baibai the dried meat she brought with her. Seeing him like this, she rolled her eyes and immediately said with a smile, "If you want to thank me, why don't you tell Lord Ye to ask the emperor to exchange the things he gave to my master for a house or a restaurant? Anyway, my master told me to keep the things the emperor gave me myself, because he can't use them."

In fact, this was the real purpose of her taking out the Yangrong Pill. It was quite cost-effective to exchange one Yangrong Pill for a house or restaurant in the capital. Besides, would the house or restaurant be bad if it fell into the hands of the emperor?

As for why she went to so much trouble, bringing up her master and asking Bai Bai to deliver the medicine, it was simply because she wanted Ye Han and the emperor in the palace to believe that the medicine came from her mysterious and powerful master in the Xiantian realm, and to use her master as a backer to save herself some trouble.

Ye Han didn't know what she was thinking, he just thought that her mysterious master looked down on these mortal things, so he chuckled, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, I will convey this to His Majesty."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ye."

She smiled, then walked to the window, and the white paper on the table flew in front of her.

Baibai rubbed her face gently with his little head, then flew out of the window and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Ye Han walked to the window without knowing when. He looked up at the sky outside the window and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This bird is extraordinary."

Lin Shuyue glanced at him. Baibai was indeed extraordinary, because she was the one who brought Baibai out from the mountains in space.

These days, whenever she has time, she will enter the space to explore the upgraded space. She found Baibai in the mountain behind the orchard.

There were all kinds of animals in that mountain, but those animals were more beautiful than real animals, and they were stronger and more lethal. She had also seen a tiger in the mountain that was twice as big as the majestic one.

Fortunately, she found that the animals were very human-like and would not harm her as the owner of this space. Moreover, without her permission, the animals could only stay in the mountains and could not go down the mountain.

Lin Shuyue was thinking about the animals in the space, but she said seriously, "My master brought Baibai back from the depths of the Cangyun Mountains. It is very human-like and can fly very fast. My master usually sends me messages through it."

Ye Han believed her words without a doubt, because he had never seen a bird that looked so spiritual, beautiful, and human-like. Such an extraordinary bird could only be found in the mysterious and dangerous Cangyun Mountains.

At the same time, he also felt respect for Lin Shuyue's master.

Afterwards, Ye Han told her about the progress of the case regarding treason committed by the person behind Manager Wu and left. He had to deliver the medicine to the palace quickly.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Shuyue decided to go out of the city to see the manor given to her by the King of Zhennan.

Just as she left Songfeng Pavilion, someone came out from the Qiongzhen Pavilion next door. She glanced at him casually, but the next moment she stopped in her tracks with a complicated look on her face.

A man and a woman walked out of Qiongzhen Pavilion, followed by two maids holding boxes.

The woman happened to see Lin Shuyue at this moment, and was stunned. Her face with delicate makeup was a little stiff, and her feet subconsciously moved to the side, as if she wanted to distance herself from the man next to her.

But she soon came to her senses, walked back to the man unnoticed, took his hand, whispered a few words in his ear, with a flattering smile on her face.

The man was quite old, in his early forties, with a big belly. He frowned and seemed a little unhappy, but he still got into the carriage with his maid.

After watching the man get on the carriage, the woman put away her smile and turned to look at Lin Shuyue who was standing there. Her eyes flashed slightly, and then she walked up to Lin Shuyue with a smile on her face.

"Little girl, long time no see."

Lin Shuyue also smiled and said softly: "Taohua, long time no see."

After greeting each other, the two looked at each other in silence. Who would have thought that in just two years, the two once best friends would go in opposite directions and drift further and further apart.

Perhaps worried that the man in the car would get impatient, Taohua spoke first: "Xiao Ya, how are you now? I heard from my father that you sold Uncle Lin to someone else as a maid?"

After saying this, Lin Shuyue, who was still holding her, looked at her with sympathy.

Taohua's eyes made Lin Shuyue feel uncomfortable, so she subconsciously broke free from her hand and pretended to be curious: "Taohua, how are you now? I heard from your father that you are a concubine now?"

Her words made Taohua's face freeze, but she soon showed a shy look again, "Xiao Ya, although Yulang is a little old, he is very good to me. He gives me money to spend and has two maids to serve me."

"Little girl, why would Uncle Lin sell you? Which mansion were you sold to? Is your master good to you?"

Her expression was full of worry, and if she could hold back the corners of her mouth from curling up, people would have believed her a little more.

After all, things have changed and people have changed. Seeing how her former best friend has become now, Lin Shuyue suddenly felt a little bored.

After a moment of silence, she looked into Taohua's eyes and said seriously: "Taohua, I am doing well, and I wish you a better life in the future. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying this, she was about to leave, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed a burning, uncomfortable gaze staring at her.

She turned her head suddenly and found that it was the man who was with Taohua before. The man was lifting the car curtain, staring at her with his eyes, and a disgusting smile on his lips.

Taohua followed Lin Shuyue's line of sight and saw this scene. Her expression suddenly became very ugly. She grabbed Lin Shuyue's hand and warned her in a bad tone: "Little girl, you are just a maid now. Don't have any delusions."

Lin Shuyue was so angry that she almost laughed. She shook her hand away and said, "Lin Taohua, not everyone likes to be someone's concubine like you do, especially a greasy, disgusting, fat old man."

"Also, tell your man to watch his eyes. If I see him again next time, I will dig out his eyes."

Her tone was arrogant and cold, and Lin Taohua's expression changed again and again.

Qing Sheng, who had been waiting quietly beside the carriage, saw that something was wrong and hurried forward, "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just met a mad dog, let's go."

Lin Shuyue glanced at Lin Taohua, who had an expression of disbelief, sneered, and turned away.
