Chapter 32: Life experience revealed in public
"I've finished your business, but I don't think it will be of any benefit to you, my lady?"
In the early spring courtyard, a man in a green robe and half a bronze mask said the same thing.
This person was Ling Ye, who covered the mouths of those dead soldiers to prevent them from committing suicide, then wrote those words on their bodies, and finally sent them to the Xinghua Yanyu Tower to hang on the big tree. This is what Xiao Jinyu wanted him to do Things to do to help.
He could have refused, but somehow, by some strange coincidence, he agreed.
Maybe it was because of the look and aura that this girl inadvertently revealed, which made him always feel familiar looking back at the past. Maybe... just think of it as a way to make up for the guilt and regret in his heart!
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Xiao Jinyu asked.
Ling Ye glanced at Xiao Jinyu and replied: "With your current power, you cannot resist the power of Princess Chen. You can use the people's mouth to spread this news that is the truth, and she can also use the people's mouth to turn the truth into reality." Rumors are more likely to make your life experience public! Then this farce will get out of control..."
It turns out that even you know my life experience...
Xiao Jinyu laughed in her heart.
Phoenix became nervous: "Brother Qing, we can't let those people talk nonsense and slander Brother Qing's reputation!"
"No, Phoenix, what I want is for her to make my life experience public. What I want is for this farce to get out of hand. I don't have time to act out the drama of a big family with a loving mother and filial piety, and harmony between ancestors and grandchildren. Why not tear off this mask as soon as possible so that everyone can show their true colors, don't you think?" She looked at Ling Ye and smiled, then said, "And I'm betting on something..."
"What bet?"
"Bet on whether Princess Yunyin will take the Xiao family's reputation to heart... Bet on whether the head of the Xiao family cares about this matter..."
When Xiao Jinyu said this, Ling Ye seemed to understand something and bowed his hands: "It turns out that the girl has a plan for a long time. I'm talking too much, so I'll say goodbye!"
After Ling Ye finished speaking, he was about to leave, but heard Xiao Jinyu call out: "Wait a minute -"
He turned around and saw the Hu boy next to Xiao Jinyu suddenly threw something towards him. With quick eyes and quick hands, he took it in his hand instantly, opened it and saw it was a white jade bottle, so he asked: "What is this?"
"This is the reward that I, Xiao Jinyu, give you. If I see it right, you have nearly thirty stab wounds and sword wounds on your body, one of which is to the heart, and you have become seriously ill because you have not received timely treatment for a long time. In the past five years, "You have been living for a long time, and now you have no more than two years to live. This bottle of medicine was prepared when I first met you. It can help you clear away the blood stasis in your lungs and prolong your life!"
After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, Ling Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze suddenly shot directly at Xiao Jinyu from behind the bronze mask.
"How do you know?" he asked coldly.
Phoenix seemed to sense the danger in this gaze, and immediately stood in front of Xiao Jinyu.
Axiu also became uneasy and nervous.
"Of course my brother Qing knows. She has excellent medical skills and is very knowledgeable. She knew it from the first moment she saw you. Why, my brother Qing gave you medicine, do you still want to repay kindness and kill people to silence you?"
After hearing what Fenghuang said, the murderous aura revealed in Ling Ye gradually subsided.
"So you are still a doctor?" Yu Yu revealed surprise and doubt, and he said with shame, "To apologize, you are acting like a villain."
"We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we meet before? I always have a feeling of familiarity with you. Everyone has secrets that they don't want to reveal to others. Since you don't want others to know, I, Xiao Jinyu, will definitely not let anyone except you. No one outside of here knows." At this point, Xiao Jinyu glanced at Fenghuang and Axiu, and after they nodded, they changed the subject, "However, if you want to cure the illness left on Ye, you can come at any time. Find me!"
After finishing speaking, Ling Ye was stunned. To be precise, when Xiao Jinyu said, "I always feel familiar with you," Ling Ye's eyes were already filled with shock and daze. After a long time, he seemed to wake up and replied: "Thank you!" and left!
…
"Brother Qing, who is he? Why is he so wary when you talk about his injuries?" After Ling Ye walked away, Fenghuang couldn't help but ask.
"To be able to withstand such an injury, this person is either a soldier who has been in the battlefield for a long time, or an assassin who is accustomed to the light of swords. However, we are not in a position to explore other people's secrets, and they have nothing to do with us!"
Xiao Jinyu said, looking at Fenghuang and smiling.
Phoenix couldn't help but smile and replied: "Yes, Brother Qing, then I won't ask any more!"
"Let's go! The people who are supposed to come should also come, let's join in the fun..."
Xiao Jinyu suddenly changed the subject. Before Axiu, who was following behind, could understand what was going on, he heard a burst of noise from outside the hospital. After a few steps, they saw a group of people rushing in. a house,
It turned out to be a group of brightly dressed young ladies, each of whom seemed to be less than fifteen years old, and everyone was wearing high-toothed wooden clogs, wearing wide-sleeved Chinese clothes, and various kinds of hats on their heads. The exquisite hairpins are swaying, and there are flower tips between the eyebrows, like a picture of a lady coming in the wind.
However, no matter how beautiful the picture is, this atmosphere is dangerous, and even Axiu has sensed that the visitor is not malicious.
Sure enough, the young lady at the head had arrogantly mocked her: "I heard that you are that wild girl who came from nowhere and dared to claim to be the Lanling Xiao family on the street. If a descendant, a granddaughter of the Xiao family, can memorize the Lanling Xiao family's genealogy, she will be a descendant of the Xiao family, wouldn't it mean that anyone who can memorize it can come and get married, don't you think?"
"That's how an unknown person dares to climb into the Lanling Xiao family!" Another young lady agreed.
Phoenix was already furious when he heard this. He strode up to the group of young ladies, raised his hand and split the stone rock beside him into two halves.
"What are you talking about? Dare you say it again?" The two young ladies at the head were so frightened that they quickly shrank back. They glanced at Fenghuang timidly and backed away in envy and fear. At this time, Xiao Jinyu also He walked towards them and said, "You broke into my house with such force just to lure me out, right?"
She looked at the girls who had surrounded the threshold of her house. Judging from the clothes and shoes, it was not difficult to guess that they were a group of young ladies from aristocratic families and some maidservants. She could not have imagined what Princess Yunyin had come up with. The trick is actually to borrow the help of these ignorant juniors who don’t know the heights of the world!
"Okay, where do you want to lead me? Please lead the way. This house of mine cannot accommodate the noble ladies of all aristocratic families!"
"Brother Qing——"
Phoenix was a little worried, but he heard Xiao Jinyu say: "Nothing!"
None of the noble ladies from the aristocratic families expected that Xiao Jinyu could be so calm and calm. Just like that, he could lure her to the street, and she could be deceived obediently?
Is it that easy?
The girls couldn't believe it, but they didn't think much about it. They said several times: "Let's go, let's go!" and then walked towards the alley outside the courtyard.
About half an hour later, Xiao Jinyu, Fenghuang and Axiu arrived in front of the Xinghua Yanyu Building on Jingyang Street. The group of noble ladies from the aristocratic families who led the way quickly hid in the crowd and watched the excitement. .
Seeing the group of dead soldiers who were hung on several big trees and bound with five-flowered heads, unable to speak or with wide eyes, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but smile at the corner of her lips: The assassin next to Xiao Xian was indeed unambiguous in his work.
Whatever she said, he did!
"Isn't this the granddaughter who came back from the Xiao family to recognize her relatives a month ago? She said what was her name, Xiao..."
"Xiao Jinyu!"
"Yes, it's Xiao Jinyu!"
"My dear, what is written on these dead soldiers is true. The mistress of the Xiao family has really been hunting you down for a month. With so many dead soldiers, it is not easy for my little lady to survive until now!"
"It's even more difficult to hang these dead soldiers here like this!"
"Little lady, you are so awesome!"
There was a burst of sighs or laughter among the crowd. There may be some people who feel sympathy among these people, but most of them are just watching the excitement.
"What's awesome? She clearly hired this group of people to perform this scene. The Xiao family doesn't recognize her as their granddaughter, so she used this vicious method to slander the reputation of the mistress of the Xiao family!" Suddenly there was a voice in the crowd. shouted.
As soon as he said this, there was a voice that matched it.
"It's a show! Is it real or fake?"
Xiao Jinyu looked for a name, and saw that the group of noble girls who had brought her here were among them, covering their mouths and laughing. There were also some middle-aged men and women dressed as servants who were shouting loudly. It seemed that they were trying to build up the momentum. Bigger, attracting more people to watch.
At this time, Xiao Jinyu sneered and said loudly, "Is this a staged show? Can you find out if you pry open the mouths of these dead soldiers and ask? However, to ensure everyone's safety, we still ask Ting Wei to It's better if someone comes to interrogate you." At this point, she looked around and added very solemnly, "I have reported it to the official!"
As soon as the words "I have reported to the official" fell, there was silence in the crowd. After a while, a young girl's voice suddenly came from above: "Then do you know why the head of the Xiao family and the mistress of the Xiao family are here?" Don’t you want to recognize her as your granddaughter?”
When everyone looked for the sound, they saw a window on the upper floor of Xinghua Yanyu opened, and the face of a girl was revealed, asking with a sarcastic expression.
That girl was clearly Xiao Jiuniang!
Seeing Xiao Jiuniang, the smile on Xiao Jinyu's lips became even brighter and her heart became calmer.
This girl really can't keep her temper!
"Yes! Why don't the head of the Xiao family and the mistress recognize this granddaughter?" someone asked curiously when the crowd was neutral.
"I heard! Although her biological mother was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, she did something that brought shame to the Xiao family and was kicked out!"
"That's right, I also heard it mentioned by the elders that her biological mother was dissolute and shameless. While she was treating Princess Yuhua's illness, she actually hooked up with the late emperor's prostitute, that is... Han Zigao..."
"It turned out to be General Han Zigao of the Right Guard. Didn't he commit suicide among the imperial guards not long ago on charges of treason?"
"I heard that the late emperor also wanted to make Han Zigao the male queen. How could a prostitute be related to the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family? Is this credible?" Some people agreed, while others raised questions.
Mentioning Han Zigao, there was a loud buzz in the crowd. After all, this man, who was the former emperor's harlot, once became famous in Jiankang City and was famous far and wide. Not to mention the women who suffered from lovesickness for him, it was the man. When you see his appearance, you can't help but feel pity and admiration in your heart.
Legend has it that when Han Zigao went into exile in Jiankang, it was during the war in Houjing and Liang Dynasties. There were rebel soldiers and bandits who robbed the refugees. However, after seeing his appearance, not only did they not have any intention of killing him, but they also became his bodyguard and took him to Jiankang. He was escorted home. It was at that time that he met the late emperor Chen Qian. Chen Qian was moved by his beauty and took him to her side. She not only taught him how to read and digit, but also trained him in archery, horse riding and archery. Such as skills, meritorious service on the battlefield, and the two were inseparable until the Chen family proclaimed the emperor on behalf of Liang, and Chen Qian ascended the throne after Chen Baxian.
Han Zigao also rose through the ranks, growing from a lowly commoner to a powerful right-wing general with military power.
When the late emperor was still alive, he loved him to the extreme. Even the Sixth Palace was in vain and he was the only one who favored and trusted him. Now it is said that the late emperor's prostitute had an affair with the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. How can people believe it?
"Why can't you believe it? This bitch is the best proof. She is the bastard child of her biological mother and that Han barbarian!"
At this time, Xiao Jiuniang couldn't help but ran out of Xinghua Yanyu Tower, rushed away from the crowd with a group of servants, walked to Xiao Jinyu, and said with a proud and vicious look: "Your mother has been kicked out of the Xiao family. , you are no longer a member of the Xiao family, and your father was just a molester, and was sentenced to death by your Majesty for treason. How dare you claim to be a member of the Xiao family? "
