The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 58 Being jealous

That day, Yunxi wore plain clothes and took Cui'er to West Street, intending to treat the poor people.

Yunxi was pretty, with eyes that showed determination and kindness, while Cui'er was a clever girl who chattered all the way.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection of West Street, I saw a few unfamiliar faces there, stretching their necks, shrinking their heads, and acting furtively.

They huddled together, whispering to each other from time to time, their eyes glancing towards Yunxi.

Yunxi felt suspicious, but didn't take it too seriously. He pulled Cui'er and walked straight towards the familiar, dilapidated house.

When I entered the room, I saw the sick woman sitting by the bed, and she looked much better than before.

"Princess, you are here again." The woman's face was immediately filled with smiles, and she hurriedly wanted to stand up and salute.

Yunxi quickly reached out to support her and said, "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down. Let me see how you are recovering."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the house. Yunxi frowned and got up to go out to check.

I saw a group of people gathered not far away, pointing and talking.

Yunxi walked forward and saw an old man lying on the ground. His face was as pale as paper, his brows were furrowed, and he kept moaning. The sound was weak and painful, which made people feel nervous.

"What's going on?" Yunxi asked anxiously, her eyebrows twisted into knots and her eyes fixed on the people around her.

A tall and thin man in the crowd leaned forward and said, "Princess, this old man suddenly fainted for some reason."

As he spoke, his long, thin neck stretched and contracted, making him look like a skinny monkey.

Yunxi didn't bother to pay attention to him. She quickly squatted down and put three fingers on the old man's wrist to take his pulse.

At this moment, a short and fat man in the crowd said sarcastically: "Humph, who knows if this is deliberately pretending to be sick to deceive the princess's kindness."

His chubby face was full of disdain, and his small eyes were rolling around.

Yunxi looked up and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Human life is at stake, you can't talk nonsense." Her eyes were firm and sharp, scaring the short and fat man so much that he shrank his neck.

After some diagnosis, Yunxi took out some herbs from the medicine box, handed them to Cui'er, and said, "Cui'er, go and boil the medicine quickly. Be quick."

Cui'er took the herbs, responded, and hurried away.

At this moment, the tall and thin man and the short and fat man in the crowd began to grumble again, "This princess comes here every day, I don't know what she's trying to achieve."

"Maybe it's to gain a good reputation."

Yunxi pretended not to hear. She reached out and gently wiped the sweat from the old man's forehead, her expression focused and gentle.

After the old man took the medicine and his condition gradually stabilized, Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief. She straightened up and pounded her aching waist.

However, over the next few days, Yunxi noticed that the atmosphere on West Street had become somewhat strange. Every time she came, there were always people gossiping about her.

"I come here every day, but I don't see much effect. It's just a show." A middle-aged woman with pockmarks on her face said with a pout, her hands folded across her chest.

"That's right. Maybe the Marquis' Mansion wants to gain some benefits." An old man with a goatee echoed, shaking his head as he spoke.

Yunxi listened to the gossip, feeling angry but her face remained calm. She continued to treat the patient, her movements skillful and steady.

"I think they are just pretending, they don't really care." A young man in patched clothes also joined in the fun.

"That's right, maybe the Marquis' Mansion wants to use this to make money."

Yunxi was angry, but didn't want to argue with these people, so she continued to do her best to treat the people.

One day, Yunxi was bandaging a child's wound when she heard a commotion behind her. The child started to shudder with fear, and Yunxi quickly soothed him, saying, "Don't be afraid, it will be all right soon."

As he spoke, his hands became gentler.

"Oh no, oh no, the herbs in the medicine storehouse have been spoiled!" A servant came running in hurriedly, panting, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his forehead and his face flushed red.

Yunxi was startled and quickly got up and went to the medicine store. She saw the neatly arranged herbs scattered all over the floor, many of them trampled and broken. The scene was a complete mess.

Yunxi frowned, his face was gloomy, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Who did this?" Yunxi asked angrily, his voice full of anger.

At this time, a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks in the crowd said sarcastically: "Who knows, maybe you did it accidentally."

This person squinted his eyes and pouted his lips, looking as disgusting as he could be.

Yunxi glared at him and said, "Nonsense!" Yunxi was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and her eyes were like knives stabbing at the man.

Just when Yunxi was in a state of panic, someone came to report that the conditions of several people who had recovered from illness suddenly worsened.

Yunxi felt a buzzing in her head, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.

Back at the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi was exhausted. She slumped in a chair, her face pale, and she didn't even have the energy to drink a sip of water.

"Princess, someone must be doing something bad in secret and deliberately targeting you." Cui'er said indignantly.

Cui'er put her hands on her hips, her little face flushed with anger, and her big eyes were wide open.

Yunxi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "No matter what, we cannot stop helping the people." Although her voice was tired, it was extremely firm.

The next morning, Yunxi got up early to prepare new herbs. She searched the storeroom, her forehead covered with beads of sweat, which she didn't even bother to wipe.

After finally preparing all the medicinal herbs, Yunxi personally loaded them onto the carriage and urged the coachman to set off quickly.

Along the way, Yunxi remained silent, wondering who those troublemakers were and why they did it.

When they arrived at West Street, Yunxi jumped out of the car, but found that the people who had originally gathered around them had disappeared.

Yunxi looked around and finally found a few familiar faces in a corner.

"Why are you here?" Yunxi frowned and asked hurriedly.

An old woman raised her eyes timidly, her face full of sorrow, and said tremblingly, "Princess, someone warned us not to accept your treatment again, otherwise we will suffer."

After hearing this, Yunxi bit her lip, her face turned pale in an instant, and her teeth clenched.

At this moment, a mysterious man in a black robe appeared behind Yunxi.

"Hmph, your good days are over." The mysterious man said coldly in a sarcastic tone, and the voice sounded like it came from an ice cellar.

Yunxi turned around abruptly, eyes wide open, glaring at him angrily, and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you framing me like this?"

The mysterious man tilted his head and sneered, revealing his yellow teeth. "Want to know? You're not qualified yet!"

After saying that, he turned around, his feet moved quickly, and he disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye.

Yunxi stamped her feet in anger, her hands on her hips, her chest heaving violently. "Damn it!" she muttered, "I don't believe I can't catch you, this cunning guy!"

Yunxi's eyes flashed with anger, and she wished she could catch up and pull out the mysterious man immediately.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said to the people in the corner, "Don't be afraid, I'm here and won't let those bad guys succeed!"

The people looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness. Yunxi stepped forward, took the old woman's hand, and said softly, "Auntie, trust me, I will definitely protect you all."

The old woman nodded with tears in her eyes. Yunxi patted her hands, then turned around, ready to continue investigating the conspiracy behind this.

Yunxi clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.
