Chapter 207 Everything is there in the dream

On that day, Xiao Yun stayed in the Duke's Mansion and had dinner before leaving.

On weekdays, unless it was a festival or a special day, each family would have their meals in their own courtyard at the Duke's Mansion. With Xiao Yun's arrival today, it was rare for the whole family to get together. It has been so lively for a long time.

During the meal, the old lady kept adding food to his bowl until it was full.

"Yoona, try it, these are the dishes you used to love."

"Grandma, don't just pick food for me, eat some too!" Xiao Yun considerately scooped a spoonful of egg custard into the old lady's bowl. The old lady had bad teeth, so the egg custard was steamed according to her taste.

He looked at the mountain of food in his bowl and felt a bit troubled, but since it was a gift from an elder, he could not refuse, so he gritted his teeth and finished it all.

Not surprisingly, he was too full. On the way back to the palace, he simply abandoned the carriage and walked from the Duke's Mansion to the Prince Rui's Mansion. He should be able to digest the food by then!

The next day, the old Duke still hated the fact that Old Man Xin dug up his daughter's grave, so he went to His Majesty's palace after the morning court to ask about His Majesty's health and to ask to see Lord Du. But he was told that the old man had suddenly disappeared again, and His Majesty was sending people to look for him!

The old Duke swung his sleeves and said angrily, "This old man is leaving without saying goodbye again. Your Majesty hasn't recovered yet, but he actually quit and left. If I catch him, I will have to talk to him."

The old Duke had never given Emperor Wu De a good look for many years. Now that he suddenly said such words, even Emperor Wu De, who was an emperor, couldn't help but feel flattered.

"Old Duke, please calm down. He is the Poison Duke after all. People with power will inevitably have some strange tempers. My body has almost recovered. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital can take care of me. Don't worry, Old Duke."

Emperor Wude only thought that although the old Duke did not treat him well, he still cared about his health and was angry about this matter. How could he know that the reason why the old Duke was angry was because he was angry about not catching old man Xin.

"That's great. Your Majesty, you must take care of your body. Even if you want to enjoy the warmth and fragrance of jade, you should wait until your body is fully recovered."

Emperor Wude was somewhat embarrassed when he talked about that incident. He had never thought that a little talent in the palace would be so bold as to put such filthy drugs in the snacks he ate. After he woke up, he summoned all the ministers for the first time, and an imperial censor came to him to report King Rui.

The content of the report was: Prince Rui had no respect for Your Majesty, and acted beyond Your Majesty's authority to deal with Your Majesty's talents; Prince Rui disregarded Your Majesty's safety and traveled a long distance back to the capital with Your Majesty's sick body, etc., and asked Your Majesty to severely punish Prince Rui.

After the censor finished his report, Emperor Wude had him dragged out of the palace and beaten with thirty sticks, and stripped him of his official uniform. No one dared to plead for him. The censor did not think before reporting. If it were not for the prince's prompt decision, Your Majesty would not be alive now.

Emperor Wu De did this because, on the one hand, he was angry at the censor for not being able to understand the seriousness of the matter, and on the other hand, he wanted to resolve some grudges between father and son.

Ever since that incident, his son no longer had any close feelings towards his father, so much so that when he was deposed from the position of crown prince, his father didn't seem to care much.

However, no matter what he did, Xiao Yun still looked indifferent. There was nothing wrong with the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, but there was no love between father and son at all.

The news that the Poison Lord Xin Baizi cured His Majesty and then suddenly disappeared spread quickly, and various forces began to send people to search for him secretly.

At this time, at the city gate, Old Man Xin disguised himself as an old woman and swaggered past the spies sent from the palace without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Even when he left the capital and ate noodles at a noodle stall with several groups of people on the official road in the suburbs, those people never cast their eyes on him, this "woman".

Old man Xin couldn't help but feel proud. He thought, "You little brat, you only have this little ability, and you still want to find him? Just dream on. Dreams are filled with all kinds of possibilities."

Shangtang Village——

Since Uncle Chai signed the contract to sell himself that day, he no longer stayed idle in the house, but did something within his ability every day.

In the first few days, he swept the fallen leaves in the yard as soon as the sun rose. Song Ning had told him that he didn't need to do this, but he still insisted, so Song Ning followed his lead. But it must be said that every day when he woke up and saw the clean and tidy yard, he felt inexplicably happy.

The scabs on many of Uncle Chai's wounds have fallen off, and basically all the scabs on his face have fallen off, leaving only a face full of scars, which is somewhat horrible to look at.

Now, he is able to do slightly heavier work. In addition to sweeping the yard every day, he also takes on the work of fetching water and chopping firewood. This makes Hang Shuheng a little uncomfortable with being idle!

Hang Shuheng was tired of reading, so he looked up and saw Uncle Chai Wu who had just filled a large vat with water and was chopping wood. He couldn't help but persuade him, "Uncle Chai, your injury hasn't healed yet. Take a break. We still have enough wood."

"Don't worry, sir. I know what I'm doing." Uncle Chai held the axe handle in one hand, and with a swing of the axe, the upright dry wood was split into two as if it was effortless.

In fact, if his two masters had not refused to let him do so, he could have gone up the mountain to chop firewood.

Uncle Chai Wu did things silently, and if no one talked to him, he would not take the initiative to talk to others. Hang Shuheng could see that he wanted to find something to do to keep himself busy, so that he could temporarily dilute the pain and sadness of losing his relatives in his heart.

No one can help him with that kind of sadness, he can only get out of it by himself.

"Uncle Chai, there isn't much work to do at home, so you can take a rest. If you really can't stay idle, you can go to Shuisheng and help him."

A while ago, he drew a lot of blueprints and gave them to Shuisheng. The boy has been studying them recently and has made quite a few finished products. He has cleared out a room in his house to store those finished products.

Hang Shuheng thought that maybe he could find some time to move the finished products to his house in the county town. The place was big and it wouldn't seem crowded if he put some things there.

Now, they don't plan to take these new products to the market, but plan to sell them in the shop in the future. However, in this case, the labor will not be enough, and Shuisheng alone is definitely not enough.

Now it seems that if this business wants to expand, it needs to train a group of people and put the workshop on the agenda. However, they are facing another problem at the moment, that is, they don't have much money on hand.

They had spent almost all their savings on buying the house, and later on buying servants. Now they were really stretched to the limit.
