Chapter 246: Obstruction in Returning to the Village
Less than half a month after Bao Pi got married, Uncle Yun would get married.
As the wedding day approached, Yun Huaishan became more and more nervous. He was restless at home all day, asking Xi if this one was ready, and then asking Li if that one was ready.
The whole family was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Yunfang and Yunzheng were also happy for Yun Huaishan to remarry.
One of the siblings was close to Gong Taozhi, and the other was close to Gong Taocheng. They were all very satisfied with this stepmother and her family.
These days, the brother and sister return home early from the city every day just to help their father prepare for his marriage.
The Yun family has been busy with Yun Huaishan's marriage recently, and Yun Xi in the Prince Nan's Mansion has had a rare few days of free time.
Since getting married, Ying Tianchen has been pestering her. He has been very busy in recent days. Not only is it difficult for Yunxi to meet him during the day, but Ying Tianchen also goes back to his room very late at night. The next day, before Yunxi wakes up, he has already left.
Sometimes, only when Yunxi was woken up could the two of them say a few words, otherwise there was no communication at all.
In this way, Yun Xi had some free time.
Apart from visiting the Women's College during the day, he would hide in his room and use his consciousness to enter the space to grow food and herbs.
Now, both the college and the workshop are relying less and less on Yunxi.
The Women's College was well managed by Mu Jinzi and Song Bingning, so she didn't have to worry about everything like she did at the beginning.
As for soap making, Yunqi also tried to innovate styles and patterns, and his work was no worse than Yunxi's. Yunxi no longer had to think about new styles every now and then like before.
The same goes for the pastry shop. Pastry chefs like Yunfang have also learned to innovate and research various kinds of fancy pastries on their own. They no longer have to rely entirely on Yunxi.
So now Yunxi has more and more free time.
Since she had nothing to do that day, she decided to go back to the Yun family. Her uncle would be getting married in a few days, so she went back to see if there was anything she could do to help, and also to send back the wedding gift to her uncle.
Several rolls of silk and satin, several sets of gold and silver jewelry, and several sets of valuable jade ornaments filled a large box. Another box was filled with gold and silver, which added up to more than ten thousand taels.
I picked and chose in the warehouse and also prepared several large boxes of gifts for my family.
Two cars with the Nanwang Palace logo slowly drove out of the Nanwang Palace and out of the city.
Now Yunsheng became the driver. Ever since Guo Wei followed Yunyan to the military camp, Yunsheng took over Guo Wei's job. He was not only a driver but also a guard.
This time when she returned to the village, Yunxi brought both Jindong and Qingluan with her. Normally, she only took Qingluan with her, but today Yunxi was in the mood to play Landlord and thought she could play it on the carriage.
The three of them were sitting in the front carriage playing Landlord, and the carriage at the back was filled with gift boxes.
The carriage was moving very slowly. If it had been moving too fast it would have easily been bumpy and the cards on the small table wouldn’t have been stable.
At this time, Qingluan's face was already covered with several slips of paper. Her card skills were really bad. If she called the landlord, she would lose. If she didn't call the landlord, she would drag her companions to lose with her.
Yunxi was so happy that she couldn't help laughing, and Rendong also smiled secretly.
Qingluan was looking forward to reaching the Yun family as soon as possible, but it seemed that today's journey was particularly long.
After finally waiting until they were about to enter the village, Qingluan couldn't wait to tear the note off her face.
"Princess, we will be entering the village soon. Please pack up the cards and small table first."
Yun Xi just won another game and was in a good mood.
"Okay, that's all for today. Next time if you don't want to put a note on it, we can use silver instead."
Qingluan made a bitter face, "Princess, I am willing to put the note on it."
If she used silver instead, no matter how much monthly salary she had, it would not be enough to cover her losses.
Honeysuckle was overjoyed. The princess was obviously teasing her, but Qingluan couldn't even hear it.
Yun Xi also smiled, "Okay, I'll continue to post notes next time."
After saying that, he shouted to Yunsheng outside the carriage, "Speed up."
But the carriage not only did not speed up, but stopped instead.
"Princess, there are a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village and the road is blocked." Yunsheng's voice came into the carriage.
Yun Xi quickly lifted the curtain and leaned out half of her body to check.
Sure enough, I saw a lot of people blocking the entrance of the village.
There seemed to be a group of beggars outside the village entrance, dressed in rags and covered in dirt.
The entrance to the village was filled with people from the Yun Family Village, and the Yun Family led the way. Yun Huaishan, Yun Huaiyuan, and Old Man Yun Qiyun were all there, as were the Xi Family and the Li Family.
The Yun family members were surrounded by village guards trained in the martial arts hall, and there were many villagers behind them.
Seeing so many people coming, Yun Xi guessed that all the people in the village who were not working in the workshop or doing any work had come here to watch the fun.
Yun Xi frowned. What did these beggars want to do?
"Yunsheng, go and see what's going on?"
"Yes, princess."
Yunsheng responded and got off the carriage to check the situation.
At this time, people at the entrance of the village also noticed Yun Xi's carriage.
"It's girl Xi who's back." Xi shouted happily.
Then he looked at those people who looked like beggars and frowned.
"Brother Qi, take some people to clear the way so that your little sister can enter the village."
Yun Qi waved his hand and ordered the village guards to go forward and clear a path.
The beggars wanted to take the opportunity to enter the village, but they were stopped by the village guards.
Yunqi walked out of the village, whispered a few words to Yunsheng, and then went to the carriage with him.
"Little sister, you're back." Yun Qi said gently.
Yun Xi simply got off the carriage and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
Yun Qi turned his head and looked at the group of beggars with complicated eyes.
"It was my two uncles from my hometown and my eldest... No, Yun Zheng's mother and his maternal grandfather's family who came to visit."
Yun Xi was surprised, "How did they find this place?"
Yun Qi shook his head, "I don't know. He said he heard it by chance. But I think this is too coincidental."
Yun Xi asked, "Do you suspect that someone deliberately told them that we were here and encouraged them to come here?"
Yun Qi nodded slightly, "Yeah."
"Who do you suspect?"
Yun Qi pursed his lips and said, "It's probably the Zhou brothers and sisters."
Yun Xi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Apart from these two people, Yun Xi couldn't think of anyone else.
The relationship between the siblings and them deteriorated, and they had conflicts again and again. They also knew that they settled in Yunjia Village. As for the Xi family and Yun Zheng's maternal ancestors, the Lin family, the Zhou family siblings only needed to go back to Xiemu County to ask and they would know which village they were from.
Given the character of the Zhou brothers and sisters, it is not impossible for them to tell the other two families about the current situation and address of the Yun family and instigate them to cause trouble.
"It's all my fault. If I had known people well and had been close to them before, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later." Yun Qi blamed himself very much.
Yun Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother, how can you be blamed for this? My second brother and I were deceived by their hypocritical appearance at that time. If you say so, my second brother and I are also responsible."
Yun Qi shook his head, "No, you all only cared about them because of me. It was me..."
"Okay, big brother. This really can't be blamed on you." Yun Xi interrupted him.
"They have ulterior motives. They approached you with the intention of using you. What have you done wrong? You can't put all the blame on yourself."
