234 I’ll Help You Gather Information
Zhao Yingying collapsed to the ground. Suddenly, a handkerchief was handed over. Someone was gently wiping the tears from her face and seemed to sigh softly, “Sigh, little girls just love to cry. Look at me, I didn’t even cry when I was almost beaten to death for the first time. A prince from Prince Ding’s residence sighed and pulled Zhao Yingying to find an empty place to sit down.
Concubine Yuan frowned. Where had she seen this Young Master before?
Zhao Yingying did not care about what Prince Ding said about being beaten to death. She just held his hand and did not let go. Just like in her previous life, she wanted someone to pull her out of the sea of fire. She wanted someone to help her escape and escape from that abyss.
“If you’re worried, I can go in and help you find out some information.” Although Prince Ding’s brain was not very good, he could take a beating. With that, he let go of Zhao Yingying’s hand and went to the street at the fastest speed to touch the buttocks of eight men, two of whom were princes. He was instantly beaten up and sent to prison.
Zhao Yingying sat on the side of the road. She did not even wipe her tears, and everything had already happened. Throughout the whole process, Concubine Yuan was secretly amazed. Although this man looked thinner and weaker than Zhao Yingying, his mobility was amazing.
Of course, in his previous life, he was very active. Otherwise, he would not have caused his own death.
“Young lady, this is a letter sent from the prison.” A little girl who was gnawing on candied fruit stuffed the letter into Zhao Yingying’s hand, whose eyes were red and swollen, and then ran away. Zhao Yingying did not even have time to react.
“This Young Master seems to be not bad. After this matter is over, Miss Yingying can consider him.” Concubine Yuan came over and took the letter. Zhao Yingying was stunned by what she said, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.
“The letter said that the Young Madam is fine, but she was shackled. Although she wasn’t tortured, she looked haggard and didn’t seem to be in good spirits.” Concubine Yuan took a look at the letter. It seemed that those people were afraid of Jiang Xi’s identity and did not dare to play any tricks.
“They must have used drugs on sister-in-law. There are many things in the palace that kill people without even making them bleed!” Zhao Yingying was very clear about this. She had suffered a lot in her previous life. She got up from the ground and carefully patted the dust off her clothes. Then, she ordered someone to send food to the prison for Prince Ding. In her heart, she also remembered this favor.
“I’ve already sent a letter to big brother. I only hope that everything will be in time.” Zhao Yingying wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor, but she did not have any status, so she could not enter the palace. She went to beg the Madams of several other aristocratic families, but those Madams did not dare to ask about this matter. The emperor’s only son was the crown prince, and the empress would be the future empress dowager. Who would dare to go against the empress’s will?
Song Yun’s face darkened. Although she had some power in Jing City, it was still not enough for her to come into contact with the palace. She wanted to look for First Sister. As she passed by an alley, Jiang Si walked straight toward her. At this time, she was dressed in men’s clothes and looked very heroic. Jiang Si purposely bumped her with his shoulder. Song Yun did not notice and she felt a pain in her shoulder. She immediately came back to her senses.
“Heh, back then, you refused to see me and even cheated me of my money. We’ll settle this score sooner or later!” Jiang Si was now a scholar and had topped the general examination this time. He was now a hot topic in Jing City. It was said that his first wife did not respect his parents and did not treat him well. They had not given birth to any children, so after he was promoted, he divorced his wife.
Some people said that Jiang Si wanted to take this opportunity to climb up the social ladder, while others said that he had met a bad person and sympathized with him. Recently, there had been various discussions about Jiang Si in Jing City. It was said that these Jinshi1 would enter the palace to meet the emperor soon. For a time, Jiang Si was in the limelight and no one could compete with him. However, no one thought that the person locked up in prison was also Jiang Si’s sister!
Seeing Jiang Si’s smug look, Song Yun was furious!
“Brother, is the land I developed for you still useful?” Song Yun was smiling, but her words stunned Jiang Si. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. They were in a blind spot. Before Jiang Si could react, Song Yun rushed up and knocked him out with a punch. She walked a few paths and threw him on the ground. Jiang Si was lying on the ground with a delicate face. One could even see the elegance of a scholar in him, especially the arrogance on his face.
