Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Chapter 103 Handling Figures

Zhou Xinyue was in a depressed mood and felt very upset. What should she do if Jin Youyuan had a conflict with her aunt and others?

What should she do at home? She was worried about the safety of the eldest lady and the third lady.

What should he do if Jin Youyuan loses?

Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to think further. She was afraid. She didn't want anything to happen to them no matter which side they were on.

Yaqin saw her anxiety and gently stroked Zhou Xinyue's hand.

She comforted her and said, "Some things are unavoidable, Yue'er, and women like you and I can't change anything."

Zhou Xinyue looked at Yaqin sadly and said, "I don't want anything to happen to you, and I don't want anything to happen to him either. I just want everyone to live in peace and safety."

Yaqin sighed and said, "I don't want this to happen, but some things can't be avoided."

Zhou Xinyue said in a very low voice: "The emperor is probably already in heaven, and Jin Youyuan is ready to take action."

Yaqin looked at the sky and said, "Whether he can take the throne safely is still a question. He faces many difficulties! I must go out and meet them quickly. Yue'er, you must come with me. You can't stay here. This is not a safe place."

Zhou Xinyue pondered for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

She just wanted to stay in her own little world and didn't want to get involved in any gossip.

Yaqin continued, "Yue'er, we have to go out. I feel my baby is about to be born. I can't stay in the capital. I want to go home."

Zhou Xinyue looked at Yaqin, then at her big belly, and she instantly became worried.

It was very dangerous for her to travel as a pregnant woman.

Zhou Xinyue wanted to ask Yaqin to stay in the courtyard and wait for the birth of her baby. Yaqin saw what Zhou Xinyue meant and said immediately, "Yue'er, I know what you want to say. You just want me to put the child first, but this capital is a place of trouble and it's not a safe place. My family may not be able to protect me, let alone you. I must return to the prince to be the safest. I can't let my first child who is about to be born face danger, so I must leave the city quickly."

Zhou Xinyue looked at the anxious Yaqin and felt that what she said made sense.

In addition, she was worried about Yaqin traveling alone, so Zhou Xinyue agreed to escort her back to her husband.

Zhou Xinyue pondered for a long time and said, "Aunt, I think what you said makes sense. This place is indeed not a safe place. I can hide for a while, but maybe not forever. Now the people in the capital are in a panic. Many people who can leave have left. I also want to leave here. I am just worried about the eldest lady and the third lady."

Yaqin said hurriedly: "I have discussed it with them, and they asked me to go back to the prince first, and they have their own way."

Zhou Xinyue said worriedly, "Aunt, can you get the figures of the four major yamen and the eight deputy yamen out of the city?"

Yaqin said anxiously: "Jin Youyuan has recently replaced all the personnel in these important departments. All the models we just got the day before yesterday have been invalidated and we need to reapply for them. All our people have been cleared out. Otherwise, I would not have risked pretending to be a civilian and trying to blend into the crowd and rush out of the city today."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "I see, no wonder my aunt took such a risk."

Zhou Xinyue bit her lip and stared at the courtyard in a daze, when suddenly she thought of an idea.

She stood up and said hurriedly, "Aunt, I have an idea. Please wait for me in the yard. I will go out for a while."

Zhou Xinyue ran to Aunt Zhao's house to ask if there was anyone on the black market who could imitate such a figure.

Aunt Zhao has lived at the bottom of society for many years and knows more about the black market than Zhou Xinyue does.

Through the introduction of Aunt Zhao, I met a man named Heigou.

This guy has shifty eyes and you can tell at first glance that he is a cunning person.

He looked Zhou Xinyue up and down and saw that she was wearing a simple dress, which did not look like the attire of those rich daughters of wealthy families.

With a look of contempt, she said, "Little sister, why are you here asking about these things instead of staying at home to embroider? You should go home early to take a shower and go to bed. Do what you need to do and don't delay my business."

When Zhou Xinyue heard the man named Black Dog say these words, she immediately got angry and said, "I thought the so-called underworld big shot Black Dog was such an amazing person, but it turns out he is just a blind guy who looks down on women."

Hearing this, the black dog got angry and said, "You ugly girl, you don't look good, but you have such a sharp tongue and are so good at insulting others."

Zhou Xinyue looked at him with disdain and squinted her eyes and said, "I'm here to do business with you, not to be mad at you."

Black Dog laughed and said, "If it weren't for Aunt Zhao, I would have kicked you out long ago. How much money can you, a little girl, have?"

Zhou Xinyue said angrily: "As long as you can do the job well, money is not a problem."

The black dog laughed again and said, "What a sharp tongue you have! You have blown this bull up to the sky."

Zhou Xinyue said sarcastically: "Don't worry about whether I am bragging or not. I actually doubt whether you are not the kind of person who can get things done as long as you are paid as others say. I doubt it very much."

Black Dog looked at the girl in front of him, who had a dark face but a pair of very shrewd eyes, and suddenly had a different feeling in his heart.

I just felt that the girl in front of me was different from the girls of the same age as her.

Zhou Xinyue sighed and said, "Just tell me how much it would cost to get a figurine that can be taken out of the city."

When Hei Gou saw Zhou Xinyue asking so seriously, he also made a gesture seriously and clearly, about 500 gold.

Zhou Xinyue took a deep breath. Although the property she had was enough for her to live out the rest of her life, these 500 gold coins meant she had spent one-third of her money.

Zhou Xinyue pondered for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, 500 gold is 500 gold. There are five of us in total. You have to get everything done for me, and you have to guarantee that we can definitely leave the city. I will pay the rest after I leave the city. This is the note for the 5 deposit, please take a look."

Heigou was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that a girl who dressed so low-key and looked so ordinary would give him 300 gold at once.

Heigou quickly picked up the note on the table. It clearly stated that it was a 300 gold withdrawal note. The bank it belonged to was the second largest bank recognized by the court, and the note was real.

Black Dog immediately changed his expression and said respectfully: "This little girl, I didn't know that you are such a generous person. You can't judge a person by appearance. Don't worry, as long as you have money, there is nothing I, Black Dog, can't do. Don't worry. Come here at this time tomorrow, and I will give you 100 figures of leaving the city."

Zhou Xinyue took a deep breath, but she wasn't very confident in her heart because she didn't know whether the man named Heigou was telling the truth.

"Okay, I will come on time tomorrow. I hope that Black Dog Knight can abide by the agreement and not break his word."

Black Dog clasped his fists and said firmly, "Don't worry, young lady. I will never break my promise."
