Chapter 181 Ahua was taken away
Yunyi smiled: "Ah Hong, you did such a good job, so good that... it makes me feel like you came here specifically for me."
Hong Yi's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. After a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed: "Young Miss, you've found out."
"what?"
"I came here for you! You're the first person to dare stand up to the Marquis of Zhenbei. When you were almost killed by Bai Wu and Bai An, I wanted to be by your side, doing anything. Unfortunately, I appeared before you, but you never even looked at me. Later, I went to work for the Fengyun Gang, but I never had a chance." Hong scratched his head. "But I knew you opened a restaurant in Longxi Prefecture, so I went there. I encountered some trouble, so I dealt with it, and Commander Huo took a liking to me. Then he asked me to deliver a message. Hehe, didn't I get what I wanted?"
Yunyi patted Hongyi on the shoulder: "Whether what you say is true or false, I'm too lazy to tell, but one thing is certain: if you have even the slightest bit of... bad intentions, you have to believe that you will suffer a fate worse than death."
"I understand." Hong Yi nodded vigorously. She was sent by her master, and now Yun Yi was her new master. How could she possibly betray her? If that day ever came, she would probably die a terrible death without the young lady even lifting a finger.
Yunyi didn't say anything more, but instead took her to Zhao Family Village and found Zhao Dazhuang.
"Girl, you've finally arrived." Zhao Dazhuang was very excited to see Yunyi. "I've made everything you wanted. Take a look."
Yunyi nodded and followed him down into the cellar.
Hongyi dutifully stood guard outside and even chatted with Dazhuang's mother in a very familiar manner.
Listening to the chatter outside, Yunyi couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is amazing. It feels like I'm wasting my talents by her side."
Zhao Dazhuang didn't think about these things. Instead, he excitedly showed off what he had made, and then looked at Yunyi with a little trepidation: "Miss, do you think it's okay?"
Yunyi looked at them one by one, then nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."
Zhao Dazhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, now that I've done all this for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for you anymore."
"why?"
"My mother and I want to leave here."
"Because of...Wu Cuicui?"
Zhao Dazhuang sighed, then nodded: "I really don't want to get involved with the Wu family, but in the same village, we'll inevitably run into each other again. What if..."
"Have you thought about where to go?"
Zhao Dazhuang shook his head: "Not for now, but as long as we go out, we'll surely find a place to make a living, right?"
“Didn’t I tell you about my family before?” Yunyi’s eyes lit up. “I need people there right now, especially someone as talented as you. If you’re willing, I welcome you to settle down in my village.”
"Your village..."
"It's Xiajia Village. It's not too far from here. You can avoid trouble here, and it won't be difficult to come back and visit sometime."
"This……"
“I’ve built a school there, and I’ll build workshops later. If you really want to go, it’s like I’m hiring you. We can sign an agreement. You’ll be responsible for making the things I need for me. If you’re willing to live in my house, I’ll provide food and lodging. Your mother can help with other things. I’ll pay her a monthly salary. You’ll get one or two taels of silver a month. As for your mother, we can discuss it on a case-by-case basis.”
"Let me think about it." Zhao Dazhuang was tempted.
"Okay." Yunyi put all the things into her bundle, then left the cellar, said goodbye to Dazhuang's mother, and left Zhao Family Village, heading towards Longxi Prefecture.
As a result, they ran into an acquaintance not far from leaving the town.
“Asheng?” Yunyi recognized the little boy running by the roadside at a glance.
Chang Asheng was taken aback, stopped catching his breath, looked up at Yun Yi, and his eyes quickly lit up: "Sister Yun?"
"Why are you here all alone?" Yunyi jumped off the horse and looked the little guy up and down. In just a few months, the little guy had grown taller, but he was thinner. In such cold weather, he was wearing shoes with his toes sticking out, and his body was very thin. However, he was sweating on his forehead, probably because he had been running.
"Sister Yun, waah, it really is you..." Chang Asheng suddenly burst into tears, "They took my sister away, waah..."
Yun Yi frowned, her eyes turning cold as she thought of the little girl she had saved: "What happened?"
It turns out that the village chief, Chang Tai, had arranged a marriage for his mentally challenged son, Chang Ming, with a woman named Lin Yanran.
Although she drugged him, Lin Yanran still managed to stab Chang Ming with chopsticks and escape. Later, Yun Yi found her by chance and rescued her.
Originally, that was the end of it. After all, it was a shameful affair, and Changtai wouldn't have made a fuss about it. But somehow, Changtai later found out that a stranger had come to Granny Cai's house and that the stranger had run away with the bride, so he became suspicious.
Then they actually demanded that Granny Cai's family compensate Changming with a daughter-in-law.
However, Grandma Cai only has one grandson and one granddaughter. Her granddaughter is only five years old, which is too young. Even if she were to become Changming's wife, it wouldn't be possible.
However, Changtai still didn't want to let Cai Apo and her family go. In the end, he insisted on exchanging Ahua for a daughter-in-law, and then forcibly took Ahua away.
Grandma Cai tried to protect her granddaughter, but was pushed down and injured her leg. She is still unable to get out of bed. Ah Sheng chased after his sister all the way out, but he was only eight years old and could not outrun the donkey cart. He could only chase in this direction.
"Sister Yun, I must find my sister, sob sob..." Although Chang Asheng tried his best to hold back, he still couldn't help but cry out, and his whole body was even trembling.
"Do you know where they'll take Ahua?"
"I don't know, but they said they were going to some building in the prefectural city..."
"They just left?"
"I chased for two hours before I caught up with him here, I..." Ah Sheng felt very useless.
“Young Miss, there’s a Yiqing Pavilion and a Ruanxiang Pavilion in Longxi Prefecture. The Ruanxiang Pavilion is affiliated with the Ruanxiang Pavilion in Black City,” Hong Yi reminded her.
"Come on, Ah Hua will be alright." Yun Yi said, helping Ah Sheng onto the horse's back, then she mounted herself. "Sit tight."
Although Chang Asheng was a little scared, he still nodded vigorously, keeping his mouth tightly shut so as not to make a sound.
The two horses galloped off and quickly arrived at the gate of Longxi Prefecture. They first went to the Yun residence and found He Wei to inquire about the Ruanxianglou and Yiqinglou.
She didn't build Fengyun Pavilion simply to make money from hotels; it was mainly for intelligence gathering. Today marks the first time she's activated its intelligence function.
