Chapter 2 What a beautiful place
"Okay, how much does Mom want?" Jiang Yunshang said, and actually stood up and gave her a three hundred tael of silver notes.
Seeing Mrs. Lu leaving happily, Jiang Yunshang showed a hateful sneer.
A quiet night passed, and when Jiang Yunshang got up early the next morning, Mrs. Lu had already gone out.
Jiang Yunshang and Xiaoyun were going to Prince Fengyi's Mansion, but they bumped into officers and soldiers on the way and were blocked.
"Isn't this the Lin family? These officers and soldiers are raiding their home? Miss, how about we take a detour?"
Xiaoyun poked his head out of the carriage window and took a look, not only frowning.
When Jiang Yunshang heard that his house was being searched, he quickly went to the window and took a look outside.
However, they saw a group of people being escorted out, and the person walking at the front was Lin Liangmao, the head of the Lin family.
"My lord, dad must have been wronged. Please investigate carefully..."
Just when Jiang Yunshang looked over, he happened to see Lin Miaomiao kneeling in front of Feng Yi, kowtowing and begging him.
"Car driver, turn around and go to Jichunzhai." Jiang Yunshang lowered the curtain and gave the order to the car driver.
"Miss, aren't you going to the Prince Regent's Palace? Why do you want to transfer to another place suddenly?"
Xiaoyun was not good at observing words and expressions either, so he didn't see that she was in a bad mood, so he still asked her this question.
"Didn't you see that they were committing the crime of confiscating their homes over there?" Jiang Yunshang replied lightly to her, and then whispered to himself: "It's bad luck."
"Oh." Xiaoyun then saw that she seemed to be in a bad mood. She wanted to open the curtain again to see the reason, but at this moment a gust of wind blew, causing her to feel dizzy.
The sound of the carriage caused Feng Yi to turn his head. At the same time, the carriage turned around and the curtain behind was blown up.
In order to avoid the glare of the wind, Jiang Yunshang had to raise her hands to cover her eyes with her sleeves.
At the stall where she was covering her face with her hands, she seemed to see Feng Yi looking this way, but when she took her hands away, the wind had passed and the carriage curtain had fallen.
"Shopkeeper, why are there always unclear accounts in the store recently?"
Jiang Yunshang looked at Jichunzhai's accounts and found that the situation was the same as other stores, with several unknown accounts appearing.
"Back to Madam, Mr. Zhu always does the accounting statistics. We only record the daily profit and loss. Mr. Zhu comes to do the transfer of the accounts himself. Only the completed account books are returned to us every month."
The shopkeeper also came over to take a look, but he couldn't figure out the two unknown accounts added.
The accounts are not big, but the impact of always making false claims is not good.
"Miss, do you think Mr. Zhu got the money by making false accounts himself?"
When returning from the store, Xiaoyun saw that Jiang Yunshang was silent and thought she was confused about the unclear accounts, so she asked.
"Xiaoyun, did mom say yesterday that she was going to offer incense?"
Jiang Yunshang suddenly raised his head, which made Xiaoyun startled. Somehow, she always felt that her young lady was a little strange recently.
"Let's go and pick up the old lady and take her home." Jiang Yunshang said this to the coachman before Xiaoyun could recover.
Xiaoyun didn't think much about it, because Jiang Yunshang always respected the elderly, but as the carriage went forward for a while, Yun'er felt something was wrong.
Because she found that the carriages had all left the city, and the mountain road ahead was becoming increasingly difficult.
"Miss, did the coachman go the wrong way? We have been out of the city for a long time and we haven't seen the temple. On the contrary, the mountain road is getting steeper and steeper."
Seeing that the sky was getting late and the carriage had not yet reached the end, Yun'er became a little anxious.
"Stay one night in the village ahead and continue our journey tomorrow morning." Jiang Yunshang said this to the coachman.
When Xiaoyun heard this, he quickly opened the window curtain and took a look. His face suddenly stiffened, he turned his head and grabbed her hand, saying: "Miss, we are not going forward."
The village in front is called Dishuiyan. The mountains there are high and the rivers are dangerous. Due to the terrain, a group of bandits have gathered here.
As the son of a general, Lu Mingyang followed his father on expeditions since he was a child. The emperor chose him to lead the army, and the prince followed him to exterminate the bandits.
This time they won a great victory, but Lu Mingyang fell off a cliff to save the prince. When he was found, he was completely unrecognizable. He could only identify himself by his clothes and accessories.
When the news came back to the general's mansion, Jiang Yunshang had just finished worshiping with a big rooster.
The Lu family said that the reason why they were so anxious to get married was to celebrate the war, pray for blessings, and wish them a triumphant return.
When the news of Lu Mingyang's death came back to the General's Mansion, everyone in the Lu family burst into tears.
Xiaoyun felt that the one who was most saddened was her young lady Jiang Yunshang. After all, as a woman, she was left a widow without even meeting her husband. How miserable it was.
So after seeing the scenery outside and knowing the name of the village, she tried her best to stop Jiang Yunshang from moving forward, because she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable knowing that Lu Mingyang died here.
"How can the road go backwards?" Jiang Yunshang smiled strangely and replied to her.
She knew what Xiaoyun was thinking, and she had avoided this in her previous life, so she would never step onto this path in her life.
After staying one night in the village, the driver followed the map provided by Jiang Yunshang on the second day and walked a long way up the mountain road. Finally, in the afternoon, he came to a canyon.
Passing through the canyon, there is a cave inside, with flowers blooming everywhere, small bridges and flowing water, wooden houses and bluestone roads, it is such a paradise.
"Miss, where is this?"
Seeing Jiang Yunshang asking the coachman to stop the carriage at the mouth of the canyon and walking all the way, but still stopping outside the small courtyard, he asked suspiciously.
Before Jiang Yunshang spoke, he saw Mrs. Lu being held by a woman, walking on the bluestone road in a sea of flowers, admiring the flowers.
"Old lady? Why is she here?" Xiaoyun was so surprised that she almost screamed.
Immediately afterwards, a man ran out of the room, holding two cloaks in his hand, and chased after Mrs. Lu and put them on the woman.
Said: "Mom, Xinxin, it's a little cold in the mountains, don't wear too thin clothes, be careful of catching a cold."
"Okay, Yang'er, Xinxin is happy now. Since you have made your choice, I just want you to live a happy life.
Now that your father and second brother are still in Tianlao, I don't know if Jiang Yunshang has asked Feng Yi to move, and mother can't stay here for a long time. Yang'er, you have to take good care of Xinxin and the child."
The old lady reached out to catch the cloak, tied it on, and then gave the man some instructions.
Xiao Yun was already dumbfounded. She only knew that the old lady was in charge of her aunt "Yang'er". Could it be that the person in front of her was her aunt?
But how is this possible? I heard that he fell off a cliff that day. With so many people watching, can he fake it?
"Mom, did Jiang Yunshang discover anything?"
At this moment, Lu Mingyang asked Mrs. Lu again.
"Don't worry, this woman has nothing but skin and little brains. Apart from her charming look, she may be able to be used by us, but she has no other uses."
The mother and son chatted without restraint, not realizing that their conversation was being listened to.
