Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 172: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 52

Calculating the time in their minds, thinking that Yunxi's three-month deadline was approaching, the three of them took turns observing near Linglongxuan, waiting for Yunxi to appear.

Yunxi stayed here longer because of the shop's income problem, and was naturally seen by the Du family who came here from time to time to take a look.

Yunxi looked at the unreasonable Mrs. Du in front of him and the cold-faced nephew and niece beside him with a headache.

"I told you, I don't have any extra money right now. Since you guys have been keeping an eye on the shop, you naturally know that the business is not good."

Mrs. Du immediately shouted loudly and sat on the ground crying and shouting.

"Yunxi, your brother is still lying in bed. He would rather not take medicine to help you make up for your dowry. God has pity on you. After only a few days, your own sister has already disowned you."

"And my poor Ping'er, the only child of the Du family. After all, a daughter is an outsider after marriage, and in the end, you still have to rely on your son. He has always regarded you as an elder, and he can have someone to rely on when he is old. He is not in good health now. As an aunt, are you really so heartless?"

Mrs. Du's words clearly meant that when Yunxi gets old, Jiang Xinghui, who is married off, will be a member of the Marquis's Mansion after all, and will not be as close to her as Du Ping, a family member.

Yunxi knew clearly that, after all, Hui'er was her biological child, and although Du Ping was a boy, he was not her son, so how could it be like what Mrs. Du said?

"Sister-in-law, I know my brother is good to me, but I really don't have any spare money. Didn't we agree before that when Hui'er marries into the Marquis's Mansion, she will have everything she wants?" Yun Xi frowned and persuaded.

"What did you say? Hui'er and Prince Lu have a good relationship. It's just a matter of Hui'er's words. As long as she is willing to ask the prince, they are all her relatives. How can the prince refuse? A while ago, Prince Lu beat and scolded the imperial city lady for Hui'er. Who doesn't know that?"

"Every time you say wait, wait, wait, how can my husband wait? Do you have to wait until the patient leaves before you find a famous doctor? What's the use then?" Mrs. Du was relentless and aggressive.

Everyone knows that Master Lu cares about Jiang Xinghui, and Yun Xi's words are clearly an excuse.

Yunxi still frowned, very confused about what Du said.

Now it seems that Master Lu is really good to her Huier, but would it be bad to trouble him like this all the time?

Seeing that Yunxi's expression seemed to relax a little, Mrs. Du quickly seized the opportunity to cry again. She began to poke at Yunxi's heart one by one without saying a word.

Yunxi's expression became more and more relaxed, and he felt more conflicted and hesitant.

Mrs. Du no longer blamed her. She just winked at her two children, and the three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After a long silence, Yunxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.

"You... stop crying, I'll try."

The three people who were crying paused and looked at her in unison.

Yunxi suddenly hesitated again, "I just said to give it a try and let Hui'er and the prince mention it. If the prince disagrees... then I really have no choice but to wait for Hui'er to get married."

Mrs. Du stood up excitedly and held Yunxi's hand. "It's okay. Master Lu likes Hui'er so much, he will definitely help. My husband will be very happy when he knows this, sister!"

Du's children also stood up and looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Yunxi, who was entrusted with an important task: "......"

She only said to give it a try and it might not succeed, but the reactions of the three of them were certain that it would succeed.

For some reason, Yunxi felt a little heavy.

She also hoped to succeed in her heart, otherwise, who knows what would happen to Mrs. Du.

That night, Yun Xi called Jiang Xinghui with great anxiety, but did not speak for a long time.

Jiang Xinghui was extremely confused, and seeing that his mother was worried, he comforted her.

With her daughter's comfort, Yunxi told her what happened during the day.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Xinghui said: "......"

Yunxi saw that she was silent and felt a little depressed, but he couldn't help but speak.

"Hui'er, forget it. Don't go looking for the prince. Tomorrow your mother will tell you that the prince didn't agree."

Jiang Xinghui was actually struggling in her heart. The Du family's accident was indeed related to her and her mother. After all, she was one of the few relatives she had, and she really couldn't bear to be cruel to them.

Thinking of the little things the prince had done to her recently, she suddenly felt that such a small matter might really be as her aunt said.

But... should I gamble or not?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinghui made up his mind.

"Don't worry, mother. I will give it a try."

"You..." Yunxi looked at her with tears in her eyes. She knew in her heart that a big reason her daughter did this was because of her. She couldn't help but hug Jiang Xinghui tightly.

After calming down, the two discussed what to do next.

After everything was settled, Jiang Xinghui left.

In the next few days, Jiang Xinghui continued to look for opportunities to meet Lu Zhao without leaving any trace, but he put on a forced smile every time.

She lowered her head slightly, as if in a daze, her eyes filled with sadness and loss. Only when she happened to meet Lu Zhao's gaze did her eyes flicker and dodge for a moment, and then she slowly smiled at Lu Zhao.

At first Lu Zhao felt strange, but he thought he was just misjudged. However, Jiang Xinghui behaved like this for several times in a row, so he couldn't help but start to think about it.

Thinking that Jiang Xinghui was bullied by the ladies from other mansions like last time, he spoke up and made it clear.

"Hui'er, has someone bullied you again?"

Jiang Xinghui paused, then looked up at him with watery eyes, shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Zhao became even more anxious. She must have been bullied, but she was still kind enough to keep the secret for those people.

"What's the matter, Hui'er? We will be husband and wife in the future and spend the rest of our lives together. If you feel upset, just tell me. Do you want to hide it from me too?" Lu Zhao asked gently, looking aggrieved.

Jiang Xinghui then looked up at him again, her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, until her eyes turned red, and she seemed unable to restrain herself and buried her head in Lu Zhao's chest.

"Sir, I am so useless. Mother gave Linglongxuan to me, but I can't manage the shop well. There are no customers to buy things. Without customers, there is no income. Without income, my uncle and cousin can't treat their illnesses. I am really useless. Mother trusted me so much that she gave me her only shop, but I..."

Jiang Xinghui sobbed with tears in his eyes, as if pouring out all the pain in his heart.

Lu Zhao felt extremely distressed after hearing this. He hugged Jiang Xinghui and comforted her.

"Hui'er, it's okay. I can help you with all these. I know you put a lot of thought into it. Don't blame yourself."

The corners of Jiang Xinghui's mouth curled up slightly under the handkerchief, but his face and body were still trembling as he sobbed.

After talking to his sweetheart, Jiang Xinghui returned to the Jiang Mansion in a very good mood.

She knew that since the prince had said so, he would act immediately, and she just had to wait.

......

At the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyi, as soon as Lu Zhao arrived at the mansion, the servant in the courtyard came forward to report.

"Sir, the Marquis has asked you to come back and find him in the study."

Lu Zhao put on his coat again and went to the study alone.

"Father, you are looking for me."

Marquis Zhongyi was sitting at a desk with a scroll in front of him. He stared at the scroll with a slightly sad expression and ignored Lu Zhao.

Seeing this, Lu Zhao bowed slightly, maintaining a saluting posture, without moving.

A full stick of incense passed before Marquis Zhongyi spoke.

"Get up!"

"Thank you father!"

Lu Zhao moved slightly before standing up straight.

"What did you do today?"

Lu Zhao was puzzled, but still told him everything about the official business.
