Chapter 498 The wrong medicine money
They set out from Youcheng the day before yesterday and traveled non-stop all the way. During the journey, they encountered several waves of sneak attacks from the Beirong people. That Yun Mo was obviously just an abandoned child of a side branch, but he grew rapidly outside the Shanhai Pass in recent years and received a lot of unknown help.
They were shot and killed on the way. There were eight people who set out, and now only three were left. After sacrificing so many lives, they thought they could catch up. However, when they were about to enter Zhuocheng, they found that their entry permit was missing.
It would definitely be too late to rush back to handle it. Not only would the purpose of this trip be ruined, but I would also be fined when I return.
The three of them did not care about exposing their identities and directly asked the border guards of Youcheng to rearrange their identity credentials to enter the city. However, they had to wait for two days, and they were too unwilling to see Yun Yan walk in!
One person was sent back to report the news, and the remaining two continued to wait, but their new identity credentials were soldiers, not the previous messengers from Youcheng. Their current identities did not allow them to knock on the door of Prince Zhuo's mansion, so they looked very angry.
Yun Yan had been taken to the main hall and was waiting. He held the warm jade pendant in his hand, feeling uneasy.
This was secretly given to me by my father before he left. His words are still ringing in my ears. If the Yun family sends someone to pick them up and take them back to Youcheng to settle down, I will hand this jade pendant to the head of the family personally.
If the Yun family turns a deaf ear to them and even secretly kills them, then they will give the jade pendant to King Zhuo in exchange for protection for the rest of their lives...
Yun Yan unconsciously increased the strength of his fingertips as he pinched the jade pendant. A bone-chilling chill passed through his palms and spread throughout his limbs.
The maid who led the way said that the prince would be here soon, but he had been waiting for an incense stick of time and there was no sign of him. The initial nervousness gradually dissipated, and then he realized that he should not have revealed his identity as a member of the Yun family.
After all, the news that Concubine Yun threatened the girl and attempted to murder the little princess spread throughout Zhuocheng, and his last name was Yun...
It was only after that big event that he learned that his family was actually a spy planted by the Yun family in Zhuo City? Daddy and big brother secretly did a lot of things to destroy Zhuo City, causing many people to starve to death or freeze to death, and preventing many people from going to school...
The Master said that reading the books of sages without thinking would lead to confusion, and only thinking without reading would be empty. He could not say that his father and elder brother were wrong, but he knew that he could not harm others, and if he did, he should accept the punishment.
As one incense stick passed, two incense sticks passed, and he had already waited for half an hour, Yun Yan's heart grew colder and colder. Was this intentional? Was this a lack of trust in him? Or was it...
While he was wandering, a voice finally came from outside the door, "Princess Zhuo has arrived."
Yun Yan stood up hurriedly, but because he hadn't changed his posture for a long time, his legs were a little numb and his standing posture looked a little weird.
Lifting my eyes and looking outside the door, I saw a beautiful older sister coming in with her guards. She was wearing a blue dress and a butterfly-shaped hairpin on her head. The hem of her long skirt fluttered as she walked, revealing the toes of her blue satin shoes of the same color.
It was obvious that the person had arrived in a hurry, and Yun Yan's worries faded a little.
She had an extraordinary temperament, her black hair looked like the finest black jade, and her skin was as white as porcelain. She didn't look like the mother of two children at all.
He was distracted for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed his head and saluted with the most respectful attitude, not daring to look at him any more, and whispered, "Greetings to Princess Zhuo."
Shen Yu stepped forward quickly and said apologetically, "We were just discussing something. Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Yun Yan was flattered. He didn't expect Princess Zhuo to explain to him. However, seeing her brilliant smile, he quickly took a step back calmly, bowed, and then answered, "Princess, there is really no need to do this. Yun Yan was rude."
Shen Yu could see that he was trying hard to act like an adult, so he got straight to the point after sitting down, "The guard said you have the Yun family jade pendant to give to the prince? Oh, the prince had something to do this morning and went out, or did he also say that you need to meet him in person to talk?"
“No, no need!” Yun Yan hurriedly raised the jade pendant, “My father asked me to bring this to Prince Zhuo’s mansion before he passed away.”
Shen Yu, who was sitting in the main seat, was some distance away from him, but he could still see the big word "cloud" on it. "What is this?"
The information from Mr. Wu just now was delivered to her as soon as possible. She knew that this was Yun Hao's youngest son. Yun Hao himself and his older brother had passed away, and all their property had been confiscated. This thirteen-year-old boy moved to the slums with his mother and six-year-old sister.
Just as he entered the mansion, a few strangers who were late came and pounded the wall in anger. So, the Yun family wanted this jade pendant? Shen Yu was indeed discussing matters just now, but he was also deliberately delaying time to wait for information.
"I..." Yun Yan didn't know how to answer. His father had never told him what the jade pendant was used for. He was just following his orders.
Seeing Princess Zhuo looking at him with a smile on her face, he felt that the rumors were indeed unbelievable. The person in front of him was not the violent woman who brought people to attack the Tan family late at night. She was obviously a gentle older sister.
So, he finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
"Ok?"
Without waiting for her to speak again, Yun Yan could not wait to tell her everything. He told her the truth and recounted all the arrangements his father had made before he left. He also stated that he did not know the value and origin of the jade pendant.
"So? You chose to hand over the jade pendant to us now because the Yun family sent people to hunt you down?"
Hearing the word "pursuit", Yun Yan felt a chill on his back. He bit his lips and felt very annoyed. "No..."
Shen Yu, "????"
Seeing her expression stiffen, Yun Yan felt even more embarrassed. He lowered his head almost to his stomach before explaining, "It's not a chase, it's just..."
Look, they've forced a good kid to stutter...
Shen Yu couldn't help but whispered, "It's okay, just tell me. Since you have chosen to hand over the jade pendant to Prince Zhuo's Mansion, it proves that you feel there is danger, right?"
Yun Yan looked up and nodded excitedly, but his tone was still uncertain, "Yes, yes, yes! Princess, I don't know how to explain it to you, it's just that I feel it's not right! My mother has always been in good health. She heard about my father and my elder brother... and then she fainted from crying. But the doctor insisted that she had a heart disease and prescribed medicine to treat it, but the price of the medicine is wrong!"
Shen Yu also became interested, "Do you suspect that the doctor deliberately prescribed the wrong medicine?"
The corners of his mouth were all cracked with smile, he was so happy that someone finally believed him, he felt like he had found a relative, "Yes, yes, yes! Although I'm not a doctor, my aunt has heart disease. I've heard from my aunt and mother that the prescription costs twenty taels per dose, but this time the doctor only prescribed one tael for three doses. I know that. My aunt said that the reason why the heart disease medicine is expensive is because there is a ginseng in it that is irreplaceable. I used this point to ask the doctor, but he said I was a child and that I didn't understand!!"
After saying this with a puffy look on his face, one could finally see some pride in the young master of the Yun family.
