LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 224 A familiar voice
After some bargaining with Yaren, Yuan Chuyi finally bought the shop on Jinxiu Street for six hundred taels. Then she asked Jiang Xue to take them to the snack street. On this street, she bought another shop.
"Madam, is the snack bar ready to open?" Jiang Xue asked excitedly.
Yuan Chu smiled and said, "I know you are thinking about spicy and sour chicken feet, so I will make them for you tonight!"
Jiang Xue suddenly beamed, "That's great, thank you, madam!"
Yuan Chuyi looked around and felt a little tired, so he asked Jiang Xue to find a place to sit down and rest. Jiang Xuezhi took her to a teahouse on the street, asked for a private room, and let her listen to a ditty, drink tea and eat snacks to rest.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I was drinking tea, looking at the streets with people coming and going outside, and then looking at the little girl singing on the small stage of the teahouse. I couldn't help but praise: "The location of this teahouse is really good, the view is very broad!"
As she was talking, a loud banging sound suddenly came from the next door room. Yuanchu Yi and others were not prepared. They were so frightened that their hands shook, and the teacup in their hands almost shook off.
Yuan Chuyi frowned and was letting Xuan Yue go out to see what was going on. A cold voice came from the next door: "Don't know how to flatter me. I look up to you when I ask you to cooperate. If you still don't know how to flatter me, I won't mind taking over your job." business. If you are willing to cooperate with us obediently, your business will still be yours, and we can keep you and your family safe..."
This voice was very cold and had no warmth at all.
When Yuan Chu heard this voice, she was stunned. She seemed to have heard such words and voices like "I'll keep you and your family safe!" Just as she was thinking, she heard another scream coming from next door, followed by the sound of a door opening. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked towards the crack in the door and saw a piece of black clothes quickly passing by the crack in the door.
"Xuan Yue, go see what happened next door." Yuan Chuyi said to Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue nodded, got up and went out, and came back after a while.
"It was the boss of Cao Yuan who was discussing business with a guest. The discussion was not pleasant, so there was a little dispute." Xuan Yue came back to report.
It turned out that it was just an unpleasant business discussion. When Yuanchu saw that there was nothing unusual, he didn't take it to heart. After drinking tea and resting, he went shopping for a few streets and bought a lot of things before returning to the palace.
On a March night, there was a gentle breeze, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Except for the footsteps of the night guards, everything in Prince An was quiet. On the first day of Yuanchu, he lay in Xiao Jing's arms and fell asleep soundly. In the dream, she and Xiao Jing were playing with their two children on a hillside full of flowers. Suddenly, the weather changed and the surrounding area fell into darkness. Xiao Jing and the two children disappeared. She called to them anxiously, and everyone around them was surrounded by them. Searching for them, they finally came to a broken house. At this time, a masked man approached her step by step.
"If you cooperate with us obediently, I will keep them safe..."
"Ah!" Yuan Chuyi screamed, waking up from his dream.
"What's wrong ma'am?"
Xiao Jing also woke up from his dream, and saw her sitting up in the dim moonlight. He stood up, hugged her into his arms, patted her back, "Did you have a nightmare?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he came back to his senses and looked around. It turned out to be a nightmare!
She breathed a heavy sigh of relief and leaned into Xiao Jing's arms, "I had a strange dream. In the dream, you and the child were gone. I looked for you everywhere. At this time, a man in black came. He held a knife and forced me to kill you." I cooperated with him...I was so scared that I woke up!"
"It's okay, it's okay, the child and I are here, and I won't let such a thing happen!" Xiao Jing comforted her, and when she calmed down, he hugged her and lay down again, "It's okay, go to sleep!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he lay in Xiao Jing's arms and closed his eyes, but he could no longer sleep. He wondered why he had this dream. This dream seemed a bit familiar. As she thought about it, her fingers playfully flicked up and down on his chest unconsciously.
"Ma'am, don't make trouble, otherwise you'll be tired again tomorrow." Xiao Jing held Yuan Chuyi's hand and a gibbering voice came out.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he couldn't help but bite his neck, and said coquettishly: "I had a nightmare, and the prince didn't comfort me!"
Xiao Jing was completely sleepless, chuckled, turned over to lie on his side, and hugged her to his chest, "How do you want to comfort your husband?"
Yuan Chu sat up one after another, "I know!"
Xiao Jing was startled, "Madam's sudden surprise scared me. It's your turn to comfort me."
Yuan Chuyi happily got into his arms, "I know why that voice feels familiar!"
"What are you talking about, madam?" Xiao Jing hugged her, "Did something happen on the street today?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he told him about the noise he heard in the teahouse.
"The voice of that person today is very similar to the voice of one of the two masked men who kidnapped me last time."
"Oh!" Xiao Jing became interested, "Just based on the few words that person said, can you conclude that they are the same person?"
Yuan Chuyi shook his head, "I'm not 100% sure, but his voice can make me dream about that day again."
Xiao Jing patted her back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, madam, it's just a coincidence." Although he said this, he had already decided in his heart that he would check it out tomorrow.
Yuan Chuyi believed his words and nodded slightly. She also hoped that the voices of the two people were just similar and everything was just a coincidence.
"Has the case of the robbery of disaster relief food been closed?" She couldn't help but ask.
"It's settled. Lord Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs who just took office in the imperial court, will bear all the charges. However, neither he nor the people involved in the case know the whereabouts of the lost relief grains. The Holy One does not want to alert the snake and let King Yu do this. Case closed!”
"Eh..." Yuan Chuyi was shocked, "That means the culprit behind the robbery of disaster relief food is still at large! They won't..." She hugged Xiao Jing's neck tightly and clung to his arms.
Xiao Jing chuckled, this little goblin knows how to pretend to be weak! However, he likes it! He hugged her, stroked her back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This is at the foot of the imperial city. No matter how bold they are, they don't dare to blatantly kidnap and assassinate people! However, you should take a few more people with you when you go out, just in case. .”
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements!" Yuan Chuyi leaned in his arms and gradually fell asleep again under his comfort.
The next day. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she got up after sending Xiao Jing to court. She went to the kitchen and made some pastries and snacks herself. She also stewed fish soup and her most famous pork belly and chicken soup, and also prepared some ingredients for cooking for later. Fry again.
"Madam actually cooked today! We are in for a treat!" Jiang Xue said happily, reaching out and grabbing a piece of spicy and sour chicken feet to eat.
"What a beautiful idea!" Yun Xuan clapped his hand, "This is for the prince's mentor! The prince will come back from court soon and take his wife to visit the old gentleman!"
"Oh!" Jiang Xue said angrily.
"You ate so much last night, it's not enough!" Yuan Chuyi scooped out another plate from the basin and handed it to him, "If you still want to eat, take it. Don't get upset!"
"Okay. Thank you, madam!" Jiang Xue said with joy.
