Chapter 104 I Don't Like Old Men
Yunyi smiled, took two steps back, and put away the silver needles: "The Marquis is a man who knows how to adapt to the times, and I admire him."
The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes flashed: "Brother Yun, it's not easy for a woman like you to make a living in Black City. You're not very old, you should at least start thinking about yourself."
"Does the Marquis mean... he wants to introduce me to a man?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"How about I grant you a concubine?"
"Haha." Yunyi laughed, "What you said, Lord Marquis... is quite interesting."
"Think about it?"
“You’re getting old.” Yunyi shook her head. “I don’t like old men.”
The Marquis of Zhenbei's smile froze for a moment.
"Alright, stop wasting time, or Young Master Bai might..."
Marquis Zhenbei immediately composed himself: "Then hurry up, let's go back right away."
Yunyi glanced at the group of people in the quarry; they were all lifeless, but when they looked at her, their eyes were filled with hope, which made her feel somewhat heavy-hearted.
But she wasn't a Bodhisattva, she couldn't save everyone, so she only chose a few people whose death aura wasn't too strong, including two little boys around ten years old.
"Fairy sister, please take my mother with you!" One of the children knelt before Yunyi. "My mother can cook, she can do chores, and I can do chores too..."
“Ayan, follow the girl. As long as you live, your mother can die in peace…” A woman knelt on the ground with a pale face and said these words before she couldn’t help coughing.
“But your mother is already terminally ill. Even if I take her, she can only last for two more months at most.” Yunyi frowned slightly. “I’m not a bodhisattva. What I need is someone who can work.”
“I can work, really, I…” Ayan was still kowtowing.
The woman kowtowed to Yunyi, saying, "Girl, please take Ayan with you. He's a good boy, and in the future... he'll definitely be grateful." She then pulled Ayan into her arms and said, "Ayan, live well."
"Auntie."
"Your mother will be watching over you from heaven." The woman kissed her son's face, then suddenly pushed him away and stood up, crashing into a nearby rock with a thud.
His brains splattered instantly, clearly indicating that a great deal of force had been used.
"Mother..." Ayan rushed over like a madwoman, but unfortunately, her mother never opened her eyes again.
Even though Yunyi was used to being cold and aloof, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. A mother's love is always profound, and she didn't want to be a burden to her son.
Marquis Zhenbei frowned, clearly somewhat disgusted by such a matter, but because Yunyi was present, he couldn't say anything.
Another little girl, with tears streaming down her face, went over and helped Ayan up, raising her hand to wipe away his tears.
Ayan stopped crying, knowing that crying was useless now. She turned around and kowtowed to Yunyi, hoping to bury her mother properly.
Yunyi asked Zhao Xiaobei to buy a coffin and bury the woman. Then, she left the quarry with A Guang and Gu Chengrui, along with three other adults and two children she had chosen.
Lao Quan had been waiting outside, and when he saw Yun Yi come out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Bei, take them back and settle them in first. I'm going to check on Young Master Bai." Yun Yi handed the people over to Zhao Xiao Bei, and then took Lao Quan with her to the Bai family in the south of the city with the Marquis of Zhenbei.
To be honest, these past two days have been a living hell for Master Bai and Bai An. What used to be something they enjoyed has now become...
I tried to stop thinking about it, but the two ounces of flesh seemed about to explode. Even though it was already ground to a bloody pulp, it still wouldn't stop. At first, it could still scream in pain, but now it was on its last legs.
Just when the two thought they were about to die, the Marquis of Zhenbei arrived.
"Father..." Bai An's body was still writhing, but his mind was already becoming hazy. Seeing someone enter, he couldn't help but cry out, "I'm in pain, Father..."
Marquis Zhenbei was both angry and heartbroken, but he couldn't say anything for the time being and could only look at Yunyi.
Yunyi took out two pills and handed them over: "Give them these first, and after they calm down, wash them and dress them before treating them. I'm worried about them getting styes."
The Marquis of Zhenbei gestured, and Bai Fu hurriedly stepped forward to take the pills, then went inside and put them into the mouths of the two of them.
About fifteen minutes later, the two people in the room finally calmed down. Then, a servant went in to wash them and tidy up the room.
After Yunyi went in, she clicked her tongue twice, then took out gold needles to perform acupuncture on the two of them.
Actually, acupuncture was just a smokescreen to make the two of them feel less uncomfortable.
The medicine doesn't last that long; it can actually be digested on its own. However, the time varies depending on the individual's constitution, but it usually disappears automatically in three days.
That means they'll both be fine by tomorrow, though they'll be exhausted. But after a good rest and some nourishment, they'll be fine.
However, Bai An's body had long been weakened by wine and women, so the duration would be longer and the reaction would be stronger. Bai Wuye was no less exhausted, and it was estimated that he might die of exhaustion by tomorrow.
Fifteen minutes later, Yunyi removed the gold needles: "After three consecutive days of treatment, you should be fine. Just take good care of yourself afterward."
Marquis Zhenbei nodded: "Then I'll trouble Boss Yun to stay here..."
"You want to imprison me?"
"No, it's just that I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, Black City isn't that big. I'll come back for acupuncture tomorrow morning." Yunyi said, clasped her hands in a fist salute, and turned to leave.
Watching Yunyi's retreating figure, the Marquis of Zhenbei took a deep breath: "Send someone to keep an eye on her."
Bai Shiyi agreed and then sent someone to keep an eye on them.
Yunyi returned to the small courtyard in the north of the city. The people she had brought from the quarry had all taken a bath and changed their clothes, all arranged by He Miao.
"You're really capable," Yunyi praised.
He Miao smiled: "It's good that I can help Miss."
"However, I didn't see your parents this time I went out," Yunyi explained, "but don't worry, I'll ask Bai Wu myself tomorrow."
"Mm." He Miao nodded. She knew that such things couldn't be forced.
Yunyi then called the five people over and asked them their names one by one. It turned out that they were all implicated because of the former crown prince, but they were all from collateral branches, and some of them didn't even know how they were sent here.
Ayan's real name is Mu Yan. He is the cousin of Mu Yushu, the former Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He was sent here directly from his hometown last year. His father died on the way, and now his mother has also died, making him an orphan.
The girl's name is Shen Jiajia. She is the youngest daughter of Shen Hao, the former prefect of Yangzhou. She was also exiled here last year. Her parents and grandparents all died on the way. She and her brother were lucky enough to survive, but three months ago, her brother was arrested, leaving her all alone.
