Chapter 959 Finding Xiao Wenyuan
Chu Junting was actually quite familiar with Xiao Wenche's name.
After all, he was Xia Zhilan's husband, and the Empress Dowager had always taken special care of Xia Zhilan. So even in the Emperor's eyes, as long as Xiao Wenche was truly capable, it wouldn't be a problem to promote him.
That's why he didn't rank high in this imperial examination, but the job he was assigned was quite good.
Not only that, Xiao Wenche has always had a good reputation, and his friends all praise him highly.
He was filial to his mother, good to his wife, loyal and devoted to his friends, and a man of great principle.
You can know a person's face but not their heart. Now that I know him, I was surprised that he did such a thing, which is completely different from his usual behavior in public.
"If we rescue Xiao Wenyuan first, everything will become clear."
Song Ruozhen glanced at Xiao Wenyuan's ghost outside. Interestingly, when this guy left the Xiao family earlier, he stayed in the carriage and asked her quite a few questions.
But ever since they arrived at the Chu Prince's residence, Chu Junting got into the carriage and went outside to keep Yunyang company.
It seems that whether he was a human or a ghost, Xiao Wenyuan was quite polite.
Yunyang was completely unaware that a ghost was sitting beside him while he was driving. He was just curious about where the Crown Princess was going, as she was heading out of the city and into increasingly remote areas.
Xiao Wenyuan was also in awe at this moment, remembering how everyone had said that the Crown Princess's skills in this area were extraordinary.
He always thought it was just a coincidence. After all, the existence of ghosts and gods was too strange. Even if the Crown Princess really had some skills in this area, it wasn't as mysterious as the rumors suggested.
However, after truly witnessing it now, he only felt deep admiration for the Crown Princess!
He had tried many ways to leave the Xiao family, but his soul seemed to be nailed to the Xiao family and he couldn't get out at all.
However, he was free to wander around the mansion, so he overheard the conversation between Xiao Wenche and Lu Fei and learned that the two of them had been secretly having an affair behind his back, and even the child in her belly was not his!
He also saw his mother's hypocritical face. From her initial disbelief upon learning about this, she eventually completely forgot about him as her son and decided to listen to Xiao Wenche in everything.
He was willing to do anything to fulfill Xiao Wenche's wish.
She also saw Xia Zhilan's despair and recognized Xiao Wenche at a glance!
However, Xiao Wenche also knew that Xia Zhilan could recognize him, so he even turned the birthmark on his body into a scar, which really showed his ruthlessness.
When he first heard the Crown Princess say that she would take him out of the Xiao family, he was a little uneasy. He really hoped that the Crown Princess could do it, but he was also really worried that she would not be able to.
However, he did not expect that he would be able to get out so easily.
Not only that, the Crown Princess's carriage was currently heading towards the place where he had the accident.
It's unbelievable that the Crown Princess knew everything when he didn't say anything.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a farmer's house.
"This is it."
Song Ruozhen looked at Xiao Wenyuan's spirit beside her and smiled slightly, "You can go back in a little while."
When Yunyang saw the Crown Princess suddenly looking at him, his heart skipped a beat. What did she mean?
He subconsciously touched his arm, feeling a chill run down his spine; was there something nearby?
At this moment, the old man inside the house looked at the man lying on the bed and couldn't help but say:
“Daughter, the doctor has examined him, and there is no sign of him regaining consciousness. Moreover, his pulse is getting weaker and weaker. Even the doctor said that he might not survive. Let’s not waste money.”
The old man felt helpless. Their family was already struggling financially, and the cost of hiring a doctor was simply too much for them to bear.
But this girl was determined to save this man. He only had one daughter, so even though he was reluctant, he still agreed.
However, Xing'er shook her head resolutely after hearing her father's words.
"Father, no, we must find a way to wake him up!"
She was unwilling to stay in the village forever and could only marry ordinary farmers.
Ever since she visited the capital and witnessed the dazzling world, she made up her mind that she must find a way to live a good life!
Just then, she happened to see the seriously injured young nobleman at the foot of the mountain.
Although he was injured, judging from the clothes he was wearing and his appearance and demeanor, he could not possibly be from an ordinary family.
If this person can be saved, then thanks to this life-saving grace, she might just be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix!
That's how it's written in the storybooks, and she felt that this was her destiny!
The old man understood his daughter's thoughts. She had always stayed at home, obedient and well-behaved, and never caused any trouble. But ever since she went out, she had completely changed.
"Look at this young master's age, he must be married long ago. Even if you save him, it won't do you any good. Are you going to become his concubine?"
The old man looked serious; he had heard that being someone's concubine meant you wouldn't have a good life!
"Even if I become a concubine, because of my life-saving grace, I am completely different from others!"
Xing'er's expression was resolute. What use would it be to marry these peasants as their legal wives?
There's endless farm work, working from dawn till dusk every day, and I can't even afford a nice piece of clothing. Even if I did, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to wear it.
Being a concubine in a wealthy family at least meant having maids to serve you; that was a privilege!
As Song Ruozhen and the others reached the door, they happened to hear the commotion coming from inside and couldn't help but exchange glances.
It's only natural for people to have such thoughts, like people striving for higher positions and water flowing downhill.
"Knock knock."
The old man and Xing'er were both startled by the sudden knock on the door.
Upon opening the door and seeing the distinguished-looking and elegantly dressed Chu Junting and Song Ruozhen, both were taken aback.
"Who are you...?" the old man asked nervously.
Xing'er's eyes lit up with joy. "Are you here to see this young master? Are you his family?"
Song Ruozhen replied, "We are indeed here to see him."
When Xing'er saw that it was Song Ruozhen who was speaking, a hint of apprehension appeared in her eyes. Could it be that the woman in front of her was the wife of the young master she had saved?
She's... way too beautiful, she's probably...
Seeing Xing'er's changing expression, Song Ruozhen realized that she seemed to have misunderstood. Chu Junting, who was standing nearby, led Song Ruozhen to sit down and then said:
"We did come looking for him. It was you who saved Xiao Wenyuan. Thank you."
Seeing this, Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the relationship wasn't what she had guessed.
"No need, no need. We just happened to be passing by and saw it. We couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, so we brought the person back."
