Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng finally found an opportunity to put their silver to good use. They first purchased a large amount of grain and blankets around the capital city and also gathered nurous skilled doctors to head to Jiangnan to assist in the rescue and treatnt of the populace and disaster victims.
Of course, all of this was done in the na of the Third Prince.
It must be said that Zhao Hongde is not quite fulfilling his role as a prince, as his mind is solely on the people, without any thought of striving for the throne.
Perhaps this is what sets him apart from the Second Prince Zhao Hongsheng. If Zhao Hongde were as scheming and petty as Zhao Hongsheng, he probably wouldn’t have received the sincere treatnt and loyal support from Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan, and those officials.
On this day, Lin Yuan was outside the city helping Zhao Hongde with the grain purchases when she suddenly saw Gao Xuan rushing towards her in a panic.
Gao Xuan is now a well-known chef in Dong Tian, always a calm person, so Lin Yuan had never seen him in such a frantic and anxious state before.
Could sothing have happened at Dong Tian?
Lin Yuan’s slender eyebrows knitted tightly, and she grew even more worried upon hearing Gao Xuan’s words.
"Boss, Xiao He, Xiao He was taken away by Madam Jin. I felt uneasy, so I followed to take a look. She hasn’t co out of the Jin family for four hours. Do you think anything has happened to her?"
Though he asked Lin Yuan if sothing might have happened, Gao Xuan was already convinced that she encountered so trouble at the Jin family.
Lin Yuan handed the account book detailing the purchases to Yin Xing and asked, "What exactly happened? Don’t be anxious, tell in detail."
Perhaps Lin Yuan’s composed deanor affected Gao Xuan. He was no longer as anxious and calmly recounted the whole story.
It turns out that since the last eting with Lady Chen, Lady Chen had frequently sent things to Xiao He, occasionally delivering so clothes and food, sotis sending a hanky embroidered by herself.
I must say, Lady Chen has truly used the right approach. Xiao He has never experienced motherly love from Lady Chen since she was little, so now she naturally feels close to her.
Perhaps it’s because Lady Chen’s familial strategy worked, so this morning, when Lady Chen ca to the shop and suggested taking her out for a walk, Xiao He agreed without any defense. Not only did she agree, but she also brought so silver, intending to buy nice things for Lady Chen.
However, she usually didn’t carry silver in Dong Tian, as all her silver was kept at ho. If she hadn’t gone to Shopkeeper Liu for an advance, accidentally seen by Gao Xuan, he wouldn’t have felt suspicious.
Gao Xuan had previously inquired about Xiao He’s matters with Shui Xian and Yin Xing.
Although Shui Xian and Yin Xing weren’t originally from the Lin family, they had been with Lin Yuan for a long ti, so they were also clear about these matters, naturally aware of Lin Yuan’s concerns.
Thinking of the news he gathered from Shui Xian and Yin Xing, Gao Xuan felt very anxious, so he secretly followed behind Xiao He and her mother.
It turned out his suspicions were correct. While Xiao He was picking out jewelry in the shop, Lady Chen took the opportunity to send her maid to et with several strong n.
As for what they discussed, Gao Xuan was afraid of alerting them, so he didn’t eavesdrop. But after seeing Lady Chen take Xiao He into the Jin family’s door, he couldn’t sit still any longer and hurried to find Lin Yuan outside the city.
Upon hearing Gao Xuan’s words, the dangerous glint in Lin Yuan’s eyes intensified: "Let’s go to the Jin family!"
