Ci Jinzhi Chapter 238

Chapter 238 A Thought

In the picture, Xiao Lengshi is standing on the street with a solemn expression, with flying rotten eggs hitting him, and the egg liquid is flowing on the cloth.

He had no intention of escaping and looked embarrassed and miserable.

 The scene disappeared, and the cool official in official uniform was still in front of her, staring at her with a sinister look.

Xin You paused slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

Just before she had that thought, Mr. Xiao was still fine, but after that thought came up, a picture of him being unlucky appeared.

 From the picture, it can be inferred that this person should be dismissed.

 Does this mean...this person's future depends on her?

This guess made Xin You tighten his grip.

"Is Miss Kou reluctant to leave?" Xiao Lengshi asked coldly when he saw Xin You stopped.

Xin You met the other party's cold gaze and raised her lips slightly: "Goodbye, Mr. Xiao."

 She had never seen a trace of human warmth in this man's eyes, as if he was a naturally cruel official who took pleasure in tormenting.

 Such a person, in the position of Jinlinwei, will be unfortunate for many people.

Xin You made a decision silently, and even the whip marks on his body didn't hurt too much.

Xiao Lengshi's men did not send Xinyou out directly, but took her to a room.

“Miss Kou, please change your clothes before leaving.”

Xinyou looked at the furnishings in the house. There were beds, cabinets, and screens. There was a set of clothes neatly folded on the bed, the same color as the clothes she wore when she came here.

 Are you afraid that others would see her being tortured?

This made Xin You more confident in his guess.

What the Governor of Xiao Town doesn't want people to know is what she wants people to know.

Of course I need to change my clothes. We are still on this person's territory, so there is no need to confront him head-on.

Xin You took off the coat that was torn by the whip, put on the clothes he had prepared, and then combed his hair before walking out.

Xiao Lengshi was standing not far away. When he saw Xin You coming out and looking up and down, he didn't see anything wrong, so he signaled his men to lead the people out, while he walked not far behind.

Xin You didn't look back all the way until he walked out of Fusi's door in Beizhen.

 Outside the yamen, the sun is shining brightly and the fragrance of flowers is wafting.

 It is the breath of early summer.

"It's Miss Kou!" someone shouted from the crowd of people sitting or lying not far away.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

 “Miss Kou is coming out, Miss Kou is coming out!” People couldn't help but move forward.

Xiaolian rushed over, crying and grabbing Xinyou's hand: "Girl, are you okay?"

Following her were Liu Zhou and the nanny Fang, followed by Duan Wenbai, the second master of the Shaoqing Mansion, and Duan Yunling's maid Xueying.

Duan Yunling was detained and unable to go out for the past two days, and he was worried about his cousin, so he sent his maid to inquire about the situation.

“Cousin Qing, are you okay?” Duan Yunlang pushed aside the people blocking him and ran over.

Xin You looked in the direction he came from and saw an elegant man walking in front, followed by several students.

 “I'm okay...” Xin You's eyes showed doubts.

 If I remember correctly, today is a holiday at the Imperial College. Why is Duan Yunlang with other teachers and students?

Duan Yunlang quickly explained: "Yesterday, Gu Yu specially asked for leave and came here with the neighbors in Beiloufang to ask the Jinlin Guards to release them. The Jinlin Guards arrested Gu Yu and the mayor, and Wen Jiancheng was Came to pick him up…”

 “Chief, the chief is here!” The crowd roared again.

Xin You immediately turned around and saw Gu Yu supporting the head of Bei Loufang as he walked out of the Yamen. When Beiloufang was hit by a disaster, Xin You donated a lot of money and materials, and had dealings with the mayor who was in his sixties.

　　 Thinking that someone of her age was locked up for a night because of her, Xin You was moved and felt guilty.

 “I have caused the director to suffer.” Xin You bowed deeply to the director.

Even though he was imprisoned for a night, the head of the village seemed to be in good spirits. Seeing that Xin You was so busy trying to avoid her, he said, "Miss Kou is too old. Miss Kou is our great benefactor in Bei Loufang. What does it mean for us to do such a small thing?"

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Xin You turned around and saluted the neighbors who came around, "Thank you all."

 “It's good that Miss Kou is fine!”

 “Yes, yes, it's good if people come out.”

“Miss Kou, my family has built a new house. Let's go and sit there when you have time...”

In front of him were smiling faces, either familiar or unfamiliar, and Xin You's heart, which had been so cold in the torture chamber, gradually warmed up.

She thought that after using the sale of a new book to spread the news that she was taken away by Jin Linwei, she would have a good name for donating a large amount of money to the disaster area in Dingbei, and she would save the life of Princess Zhaoyang's beloved daughter. In the capital, At least nothing will happen quietly under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

She also thought that there might be someone who could speak for her in front of that person, maybe the eldest princess Zhaoyang, or the official who heard about the matter.

But she never expected that it would be these ordinary neighbors who really saved her from the predicament. They used the simplest but bravest actions to get her out of Jinlin Guard and into the sunshine.

My mother once said that when you have spare time, help people who are in trouble, and don't think about getting something back, as you will often feel disappointed. But there will always be someone who lives up to your kindness, and that will be a small surprise in ordinary life.

 Now, she did taste the surprise.

Xin You had tears in her eyes as she looked back at the gate of Fusi, Beizhen.

At some point, Xiao Lengshi stood there quietly, looking at her with eyes like a sharpened knife, cold and sharp.

 Jin Linwei came out to disperse the people gathered in front of the Yamen.

 “It's gone, it's gone, it's gone quickly!”

Amid the shouts, Xin You's body swayed and she fell straight down.

 “Miss Kou!”

 “Cousin!”

When exclamations arose, Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and then cried: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Jinlin Guard - Jinlin Guard tortured you?"

 To torture?

 Everyone who heard this changed their expressions, and Xiao Lengshi, who was originally gloomy, also changed his expression.

 At this moment, he had the intention to kill Xin You.

 But he had no chance.

Just when Duan Wenbo ordered someone to help his cousin onto the carriage, a well-dressed middle-aged woman walked over, followed by several guards.

 The woman revealed her identity to Duan Wenbai and was the aunt in charge of the eldest princess's mansion.

“Your Highness is not worried about Miss Kou. There happens to be a female doctor in the eldest princess's residence. Why not send Miss Kou over and ask the female doctor to take a good look at her...”

 The doctors with excellent medical skills are all men. Women who have some medical skills are often associated with stable women and the like, and are not considered to be in the mainstream. During the troubled times, Queen Xin personally established a team of female doctors. From then on, female doctors were recognized by the world, and there were also women who practiced medicine honestly.

　　A female doctor who serves the royal family and nobles and has excellent medical skills.

Duan Wenbai hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Xin You was accompanied by Xiaolian and Aunt Fang to the eldest princess's mansion.

Princess Zhaoyang has been paying attention to the movements inside and outside the palace since she left the palace. When she heard that the emperor's brother relented and let people go, she arranged for people to guard outside the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. When she heard that Miss Kou had fainted and was brought back to the house, she hurriedly ordered the female doctor to diagnose and treat her.

 Not long after, the female doctor came out to revive him.
