At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 2: The Shameless Wang Yuanxiang and Her Daughter
After Yu Tinghai returned home, his maternal grandparents held a small banquet for him at home. Yu Yunxin's dinner was prepared by Qiu Shuang and Lian Qiao.
After Yun Xin's grandparents left, Wang Yuanxiang brought Yu Yunxuan to Yayun Courtyard.
"Second Aunt and Second Miss, what are you doing in Yayun Courtyard? Our eldest lady needs to rest." Qiu Shuang stopped Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter and said.
"I am also Yunxin's aunt. Yunxin was seriously injured, so I made some sweet soup for her." Wang Yuanxiang said.
"Yes, I also came to see my eldest sister. I made an embroidery for her. It's a lotus fan. I embroidered it myself and gave it to her." Yu Yunxuan said as she took out the fan and handed it to Chunyu.
After Yu Yunxin finished practicing her internal skills, she smelled the faint fragrance from the incense burner and felt very energetic. She got out of bed and stretched her muscles and bones, and then she heard the movement outside. She stood at the window on the second floor and looked down at the courtyard and said, "Qiu Shuang, let Aunt Wang and Second Sister come in."
Qiu Shuang had no choice but to let the two of them into the yard and immediately turned around and walked towards the study.
When Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter arrived downstairs of Yu Yunxin's boudoir, they saw the brocade box on the table. Greed appeared in their eyes. They put down the tray in their hands, opened the brocade box and looked at it.
"There are really a lot of good things in these brocade boxes of my elder sister. This satin feels better than silk to me." Yu Yunxuan said with greed as she touched the Yunluo satin in the brocade box.
"What are you doing? These are the rewards bestowed by the Queen Mother to our eldest lady. Some are also given to the young lady by General Lin and Madam Lin. Why are you touching them?" Chunyu said as she walked down from upstairs.
"Yun Xin can't use all these things by herself. I think it would be nice to use this silk to make some summer clothes for Si'er and Yun Xuan." Wang Yuanxiang said as he was about to reach out to take it.
"Aunt Wang, these are all gifts from the Queen to our eldest sister. How can you accept them? Why don't you go and stop the Emperor to sue for our master?" Chunyu said as she protected the Yunluo silk and brocade box under her body to prevent Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter from touching them.
"Miss Xin'er, how could Aunt Wang and her daughter be so shameless that they actually dared to touch the things bestowed by the Empress." Lian Qiao was preparing medicinal incense upstairs and said when she heard the noise downstairs.
Yu Yunxin also heard the noise downstairs and said, "Let's go downstairs and take a look."
After Yu Yunxin finished speaking, she let Lian Qiao help her walk downstairs. When Wang Yuanxiang saw Yu Yunxin coming down from upstairs, she said, "Yunxin, you are still young and don't know how to take care of these things. Why don't you let me take care of them for you?"
"Shut up, Wang Yuanxiang, how can you be so shameless to ask the eldest daughter of the legitimate family for things? I tell you, don't even think about it." Lian Qiao said angrily.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a female doctor hired by the mansion. It's not your turn to make decisions in this Yu Mansion." Yu Yunxuan said when she saw Lian Qiao dressed as a female doctor.
"I'm the manager of the pharmacy in General Lin's mansion. How can it be none of my business? These things were ordered by Old Lady Lin. I must take good care of them." Lian Qiao glanced at Chunyu and said, "Chunyu, move these things to the young lady's room with Qiu Shuang."
When Chunyu heard this, she immediately picked up two pieces of Yunluo silk and went upstairs without paying any attention to Wang Yuanxiang and the other person.
When Wang Yuanxiang saw Chunyu holding the only two rolls of Yunluo silk, she said, "I think this silk is good. Yunxin, you are growing taller, so it would be a waste to make clothes for you."
"Wang Yuanxiang, how dare you ask a child for something?" Yu Tinghai walked in from outside and said, followed by Yu Linshan.
"Master, I just want to make two summer clothes for Niansi and Yunxuan. Besides, Yunxin has two pieces of brocade. Wouldn't it be nice to share some with my younger brothers and sisters?" Wang Yuanxiang said immediately when he saw Yu Tinghai walk in.
"These are all gifts from the Queen to Xin'er. She has the final say. I have no right to ask her for a share. Why are you, a concubine, getting involved?" Yu Fuhai said angrily to Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter.
Qiu Shuang followed in and together with Chun Yu Lian Qiao took the brocade box on the table to the second floor.
When Yu Yunxin saw her father coming over, she said, "Brother Niansi is still young, I will ask Aunt Si to make some summer clothes for him. If you like jewelry, I will ask Chunyu to choose some suitable ones for you. Aunt Wang, please stop rummaging through the gifts given by the Queen."
"Okay, since Xin'er is willing to give you some, just take it!" When Yu Tinghai heard Yu Yunxin say this, he looked at the injured Yu Yunxin gently, turned his head and looked at Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter and said, "Since you are all here, just sit down. I have something important to tell you." After Yu Tinghai finished speaking, he motioned for Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter to sit down.
There was a tea room downstairs, and Yu Fuhai sat in the main seat and started to make tea with Yu Linshan beside him. Yu Linshan skillfully poured a cup of tea for Yu Tinghai.
Yu Yunxin also sat around the tea table with Wang Yuanxiang and her daughter. Yu Tinghai drank the tea poured by Yu Linshan and said after half a cup of tea: "The emperor dismissed me from my position as Minister of Justice. I was demoted. Now I am a seventh-rank county magistrate in Wangshan County, Nanling County. I will take up the post there in a few days."
"Master, you work diligently for the court. Could it be that my brother has caused you trouble again?" Wang Yuanxiang exclaimed, "But that happened two months ago. How can the emperor keep harping on such a small matter?"
When Yu Tinghai heard what Wang Yuanxiang said, he immediately slammed the table and said, "Shut up, you long-haired, short-sighted woman. Among the tens of thousands of winter coats your brother sent to the border, more than half were reed-flowered ones. I spent so much money to prepare them so that he would never hang around in the capital again. I was able to save his life, which was already a favor from the emperor. You still speak ill of the current emperor."
"Master, isn't that what I meant?" Wang Yuanxiang wanted to explain, but she knew nothing about court affairs and could only complain.
"Okay, no matter how high your official position is, you all work for the emperor. Pack up and follow me to Wangshan County. Yun Xin will stay here. I feel relieved that she is taken care of by her maternal family." Yu Tinghai said.
"Father, can mother and I stay? I heard from the rice shop owner that Nanling County is close to the border of Southern Dian Kingdom and is very chaotic. There was a severe drought this year and there are many refugees. I won't go to that kind of place," said Yu Yunxuan.
"Master, I have two shops in Beijing. What will I do if I go there? The cloth shop and the rice shop are my only two shops. I am worried about the shop owners!" Wang Yuanxiang said, "Besides, Niansi is only five years old. If she goes to the wild forest with you, what will she do if she gets sick?"
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then forget it. I won't force you. You three, mother and your children, should stay in Beijing and keep a low profile and don't cause any trouble. Just take care of the three children." Yu Tinghai looked at Yun Xin and Yun Xuan and said.
"Dad, I will follow you to Wangshan County." Yu Yunxin said.
"Yun Xin, why are you, a girl, following me?" Yu Tinghai objected immediately upon hearing this.
"Father, although I am a girl, I know some Kung Fu! I will protect myself." Yu Yunxin replied.
"Foster father, let Sister Xin'er go with them! The Lin family often has to go on expeditions. I've heard that many eldest sons and daughters in the capital who don't have their mothers around are often harmed by concubines with ill intentions. I've received several cases in the Ministry of Justice." Yu Linshan, who was standing aside like a transparent man, said.
"Yu Linshan, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother is not even a concubine now. At most, she is a concubine. How could she do such a thing?" Yu Yunxuan stared at Yu Linshan who had spoken and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Master, I definitely don't mean that. Don't worry, although Yunxin is not my biological daughter, I will take good care of her." Wang Yuanxiang said.
Yu Yunxin couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she heard Wang Yuanxiang say that. She remembered that Wang Yuanxiang had instigated Yu Yunxin behind the scenes to file a complaint to the emperor. "Yunxin, you are the legitimate daughter of the Yu family. I've heard that Ti Ying saved her father before. Whether you can save your father depends on you. This time you stop the imperial carriage and file a complaint to the emperor. Your father depends on you." Yu Yunxin felt sick when she thought of these words.
"Father, my brother-in-law is right. Wangshan County is far away from the capital. Although it is poor and mountainous, with bad waters, I believe that with my father taking care of me, I will live better than in the capital." Yu Yunxin replied.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tinghai looked at Yu Linshan and said, "Linshan, you should sit down too! I know you know some Kung Fu, but Yun Xin is injured. I'm worried that her body won't be able to withstand a long journey."
"Master, don't worry. I will follow the eldest lady. I have also been to Wangshan County, which is not far from Baiyun Villa. I will tell the second lady. It is a good thing for the eldest lady to go to Baiyun Villa to recuperate and practice martial arts. What's more, the eldest lady's master Miaochun Baiyi is also in Baiyun Villa." Lian Qiao said happily when he heard about Wangshan County.
Yu Yunxin clapped her hands when she heard this and said, "Okay, I've decided to go to Wangshan County with my father."
When Yu Tinghai heard what Lian Qiao said, he nodded and said, "Okay, let Xin'er follow me. I'll have to trouble Lian Qiao for the journey."
"Sir, don't be polite to me. I am also the chivalrous doctor of Baiyun Villa. I am willing to take care of the young lady." Lian Qiao bowed.
"Master, since Yun Xin is going to Wangshan County, why don't you let me manage the shops under Yun Xin's name? Don't worry, I will return these shops to Yun Xin after she gets married." Wang Yuanxiang said.
"Siniang is running the business very well there, so just take care of your own shop!" Yu Tinghai said with a disdainful look at Wang Yuanxiang.
"That Si Niang is an outsider. What if she cooks the books?" Wang Yuanxiang said unwillingly. She knew that the shops under Yu Yunxin's name were Linglong Pavilion, Yanzhi Shop, and Zhenbao Building. They brought in at least several thousand taels of silver every day. If she could manage these shops, she would not be rich.
"Si Niang is my wife's good friend, don't worry she won't do that kind of thing. I feel relieved that she is looking after the shops now. Besides, those shops will be Yun Xin's dowry in the future. Si Niang will also leave after Yun Xin gets married. Old Lady Lin and I trust her character. Don't say anything, just take care of your own business! Nian Si is still young, you should take good care of him as a mother." Yu Tinghai said, "It's getting late, go back to bed!"
When Wang Yuanxiang heard this, she pulled Yu Yunxuan out of the room.
Yu Tinghai looked at the two people leaving and shook his head, saying: "These three mother and daughter are really the Yu family's sinful debt."
"Godfather, please don't worry about Aunt Wang. It will be enough as long as she can raise the second young lady and the young master peacefully." Yu Linshan said.
"Lin Shan, go find two teachers for the second young lady and the young master. It would be best if the young master could stay at the teachers' home to study more often." Yu Tinghai said.
"I think we should send the young master to Master Liu Xun. Master Liu Xun is an upright man and he is Chunyu's father." Yu Linshan said.
"Okay, you go and arrange it! Take the young master away secretly and don't let Wang Yuanxiang know." Yu Tinghai said helplessly.
He turned around and glanced at Yu Yunxin and said, "Xin'er, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll send Lao He to buy you some ice cubes. It's been so hot these past few days, so don't be too greedy for coolness."
"Yes, father. Your daughter is here to see you off." Yu Yunxin said with some fatigue.
After Yu Tinghai and Yu Linshan left, Qiu Shuang looked at the bowl of sweet soup and a lotus flower shirt on the table and asked, "Miss, what should we do with these things?"
"Miss can't drink this sweet soup, you two are eating it!" Lian Qiao said.
"The embroidery on this fan is too rough. It's not as beautiful as yours, Chunyu." Qiu Shuang picked up the fan and started fanning herself.
"Qiushuang, if you like it, I'll give it to you. Fanning yourself is nice too." Yu Yunxin said as she watched Qiu Shuang pick it up and start fanning herself.
"Okay, thank you very much, miss. I'll fan you later." Qiu Shuang picked up the fan and said with a smile.
Yu Yunxin smiled and went upstairs. After Lian Qiao and Qiu Shuang and Chun Yu applied medicine and changed her clothes, she fell asleep on her first night in ancient times. Not to mention that it was really painful to be rolled on the Ding board. It was painful to see that there was no healthy flesh on her body. A thirteen-year-old girl had to endure such a serious injury. Yu Yunxin almost closed her eyes and fell asleep in the pain.
The next day, Yu Yunxin asked Chunyu to send several sets of her jewelry and several new clothes that she had never worn to Wang Yuanxiang's yard. But just after she sent them there, she didn't expect that Wang Yuanxiang would make a fuss in the mansion early in the morning and she couldn't find Yu Niansi.
Yu Yunxin couldn't concentrate on practicing internal energy because of the noise. She stood at the window and looked out into the yard. She saw Wang Yuanxiang and Yu Yunxuan were very anxious, running around like headless flies. "Nian Si, where are you?"
"Madam, don't worry. I didn't see Young Master Lin Shan and the old master in the mansion. It's possible that they took the young master out to play." said the old woman beside Wang Yuanxiang.
"Mom, did father take Nian Si out? Father will go to Wangshan County in a few days. He wants to be closer to his brother. Don't worry." Yu Yunxuan walked to Wang Yuanxiang and said.
"Okay! Nian Si is still young, so I feel relieved since his father took him out. He should have a good rest after searching in the backyard for the whole morning." After Wang Yuanxiang said this, he left the front yard.
Yu Yunxuan looked up at Yu Yunxin's room and shouted to her, "Thank you for the clothes and jewelry, sister. I like them very much."
"Yunxuan is going to Wangshan County. From now on, Yayunyuan will be yours. As long as that little bitch doesn't take anything in the courtyard, all of them will be yours. These are just a drop in the bucket for her. Why are you thanking her? Maybe this dress is something she doesn't want anymore." Wang Yuanxiang said to Yu Yunxuan. Although it was very soft, Yu Yunxin now has internal strength, so she heard it all even though she was far away.
