Chu Yunxi stood up and said, "Let's go back home."
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to get on the carriage, the exclamations of officers and soldiers came from the city gate.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Wake up, whose house does this belong to?"
The people around him shook their heads and backed away when they saw the little woman who suddenly fainted on the ground. No one wanted to cause trouble.
"Wow, wow~" There was a baby in the woman's arms, and she was so frightened that she cried.
"Quickly, take it aside and find a doctor."
The leading official commanded and carried the woman and the child in her arms to the side so as not to affect the entry and exit of the people behind.
Seeing that the child kept crying, Chu Yunxi couldn't bear it and walked forward.
"Who are you, don't cause trouble, stay away!"
The official didn't recognize Chu Yunxi, so he hurriedly stopped him for fear of causing trouble.
Just as Chu Yunxi was about to reveal his identity, a lean man hurriedly pushed through the crowd from outside the city gate and ran over.
"My lord, my lord, those are the women and children of ordinary people. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble to my lord. I'll take them away right now."
The officer looked at the man and saw that he looked nothing special, just like a common man.
"The doctor will be here soon. You'd better wait for the doctor to come and show it to them before taking it away."
Officials are not cold-blooded people. Just a word of advice.
"The common people have already sent the doctor home, so I won't bother the official. Thank you, thank you very much."
The man took the child into his arms, put the woman on his shoulders, and hurried out of the city regardless of the crowd's amused looks.
Chu Yunxi saw that he was very careful in holding the child. He must be the father of the child, but why did he not want to wait for the doctor to come and take him away in a hurry?
Then why did the woman carry her child into the city alone and faint?
"Follow that man and go see what's going on at their home."
Chu Yunxi was worried after all.
"Yes!" An Yi followed the order.
"Miss, there are a lot of people here, why don't we go back home first?" He Xiang asked worriedly.
Chu Yunxi was also slightly uneasy, fearing that the disaster in Licheng was much more serious than what they saw.
"When we return home, we will send someone to find my third brother. The businessman will be better informed."
He Xiang must be, their young lady is smart, alert, calm and self-possessed, and her advice is correct.
What Chu Yunxi didn't expect was that when she returned to the mansion, her third brother Chu Wenjin was already waiting for her.
"Sister, you are finally back. Third brother has something to discuss with you."
"Third brother, you are getting busier and busier. I haven't seen you for several days."
Chu Yunxi pretended to complain. She knew that her brothers all had their own ambitions in their hearts. However, she still missed them a little after not seeing anyone for so many days.
"Sister, don't blame me. Third brother, I have been doing big things these days."
Chu Wenjin's eyes were bright and lively, as if he was begging for praise.
"Oh? Come and listen."
Since the last donation and her eldest brother's marriage, Chu Yunxi's trust in Chu Wenjin has increased a lot. His expression made Chu Yunxi feel that what Chu Wenjin was going to say must be true.
It's a great thing.
"Xi'er, are you aware of the recent refugee crisis in the capital?"
Chu Yunxi nodded, "I just learned about it today."
It turns out that the third brother noticed it earlier than she did. Could the big things that the third brother did have something to do with this?
Chu Wenjin lowered his voice:
"Since the drought started, Third Brother and I have been purchasing a lot of grain privately from neighboring countries. If the disaster becomes uncontrollable, Third Brother wants to open a porridge restaurant."
Chu Yunxi's eyes widened. How could Chu Wenjin be so foresight? No, was he so bold?
Due to constant disputes among the five countries, there have been few exchanges in recent years, especially grain, grass, soldiers and horses, which are prohibited from private circulation by various imperial courts. If caught, they may be beheaded.
"Third brother, how did you do it? What if..."
Chu Yunxi was a little scared.
"How you do it is not important, sister. What is important is that you need to report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince, so that the court will not regard Third Brother and me as a profiteer who is trying to make money for the country, or as a person who is trying to gain fame and reputation to win over the people.
, a person with evil intentions is thrown into prison. Isn’t the third brother unjustly accused?"
Chu Yunxi gave a thumbs up in admiration,
"Third brother, my sister really looked down on you before. Third brother is not only a businessman, but also a Confucian businessman who cares about his family and country. Third brother is righteous, and my sister admires him."
Chu Wenjin felt comfortable after being praised by Chu Yunxi and smiled proudly.
"My sister is the Crown Princess. As an elder brother, of course I cannot hold my sister back. I will definitely give my sister a good backing so that my sister can advance side by side with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Yunxi's nose was slightly sore. It turned out that the third brother did all this for her. The third brother's money was not brought by the strong wind, but was the result of the third brother's own hard work.
But every time she was in need, the family was in need, or even the country was in need, he would provide it without any secret.
He was a businessman, so he didn't have to worry about the refugees. Just because his sister was the princess, he took the risk and prepared for a rainy day.
"Third brother, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. Everyone should perform their duties. Let the ministers worry about the affairs of the court."
Chu Wenjin knew that his sister was doing it for his own good, so he clicked his tongue twice.
"There is no other way. He who can do it has to work harder. Who told me, your third brother, to have outstanding financial and business intelligence?"
"Yes, yes, the third brother is the most powerful. If my sister were to die someday, she would point to the third brother to support her."
Chu Yunxi's eyes were slightly red, but she smiled. She was so happy to have her brother who loved her.
"Bah, bah, bah, my sister is so good, and she is protected by my brothers, who dares to let you fall into trouble? My dear sister, go find His Highness the Crown Prince, it is important to save my life, your third brother."
With Chu Wenjin's mouth, it's no wonder that in the past, everyone only regarded him as an idle nobleman.
Chu Yunxi was urged to go to the palace by Chu Wenjin.
Jun Lingyun watched Chu Yunxi walking towards him, frowned and curled his lips into a smile.
"Have Xi'er's family affairs been settled?"
Chu Yunxi knew that he was asking about Aunt Liu.
"I guess Your Highness has known about it for a long time, right? I just don't know if what Aunt Liu said is somewhat true."
"When the secret guards come back from inquiring about the information, the truth will be revealed. Don't worry too much, Xi'er."
Jun Lingyun hopes that Chu Yunxi can live a carefree life.
"I'm afraid things are not that simple. Ling Yun, if what Aunt Liu says is true, how do you want to deal with her?"
Jun Lingyun became more serious.
"If what she said is true, she may be asked by the ministers to send her back to the Dongyi Kingdom. If she is killed, the Dongyi Kingdom will have a reason to launch a war against our Yunxiao Kingdom."
Chu Yunxi paused. She originally thought that even if she was handed over to the court, Aunt Liu, as the leader of the enemy's spies, would definitely be punished by death.
"Why? Why? Their Dongyi Kingdom has planted spies in our Yunxiao Kingdom, purchased military aircraft privately, and has evil intentions. Why should we lower our profile and please them?"
Chu Yunxi was angry in her heart. She asked herself, could she really let Aunt Liu go? Even though she had her own reasons, she planned to exterminate her Chu family, and in her previous life, Aunt Liu really succeeded, letting her
