After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 22 New Servants
The doctor was Dr. Feng, who had previously treated Yu Zizhen when he was in the palace. Based on his pulse and Yu Zizhen's symptoms, he came to the conclusion that Yu Zizhen was overly frightened and had relapsed.

As for the "nonsense" that Yu Zizhen said, Dr. Feng also relayed it to Mr. Jiang as it was.

Mr. Jiang was secretly glad that he sent away Nanny Hong immediately. Looking at Yu Zizhen's attitude, Nanny Hong had really caused a serious psychological shadow on her.

He glanced at the little figure lying beside Yu Zizhen's bed, guarding her motionless, and then said to Dr. Feng with a headache: "You can prescribe medicine for the prince first, and I will find someone who can take care of her." .”

No matter how much he treats Yu Zizhen as a boy, she is still a girl. Now she needs someone to take care of her, so Mr. Jiang can only buy a maid for her now.

Fortunately, they are staying at the inn in the north tonight. On the ground of the north, the words "Zhenbei Wangfu" are still very useful.

Mr. Jiang found Yi Cheng and gave him the following instructions.

Yi Cheng took the order and left, and within a quarter of an hour, he brought him a mother and daughter who were skinny and whose clothes were patched, but who took care of themselves very cleanly.

"Sir, this is Mrs. Zhang, and this is her daughter Liu Ping'an. Liu Ping'an's father was a fallen soldier of our Zhenbei Army, and he was gone five years ago. These two women are not welcome in the Liu family and the Zhang family. , they didn’t get a share of the pension, and the lower officials saw that they were really pitiful, so they kept making them do menial work in the kitchen behind the inn.”

Seeing Mr. Jiang frowning slightly, Yi Cheng quickly added, "But don't worry, I didn't recommend them because they were pitiful. They are agile and meticulous in their work, and they also obey the rules and can definitely serve them." A good prince."

Mr. Jiang looked at the mother and daughter and saw that although they were cautious and timid, their eyes were very pure. In addition, it was so late at night that he had no time to slowly select the more useful ones for Yu Zizhen, so he slightly He nodded and said to Yi Cheng: "Did you tell them about signing the death contract?"

Yi Cheng nodded vigorously, "I said it, I said it."

Mr. Jiang then asked someone to bring over the identity deed he had written and have the mother and daughter sign it.

When he told Yi Cheng about this before, he used the reason that the servant chief could not serve him well because of his rough hands and feet, so he wanted to buy two more maids for the prince to serve him.

Yi Cheng didn't suspect anything. After receiving the order, he immediately went to find someone for Mr. Jiang.

Madam Zhang and Liu Ping'an, who happened to be protected by their couple, were in a difficult situation at this time, and Yi Cheng was also trying to find another place for them to go.

Compared with other places, Zhenbei Palace was obviously the best place that Yi Cheng could find for the mother and daughter.

Although Mr. Jiang said that he would sign a death contract, Yi Cheng believed that Madam Zhang would rather take her daughter to the Zhenbei Palace for shelter than being forced to death by her husband's family and her natal family.

Madam Zhang's choice was just as Yi Cheng expected. Without any hesitation, she agreed to sell herself and her daughter to the Zhenbei Palace.

The mother and daughter quickly signed the contract and received the 36 taels of silver given by Mr. Jiang on behalf of Yu Zizhen. They were then taken to be washed from head to toe, changed clothes, and taught simple rules.

After working like this for almost an hour, the two of them were taken to Yu Zizhen's place by Mr. Jiang.

The "weak" Yu Zizhen had "recovered consciousness" at this time. She was sitting weakly, her eyes staring at Xinghua for a moment, watching her carefully move down to the ground with the empty bowl.

Except for Xinghua, who was asked by her to keep the secret, no one knew that Yu Zizhen actually did not drink the bowl of bitter medicine soup that Doctor Feng cooked for her.

She was not sick either. She pretended to be sick firstly to prove that Grandma Hong had frightened her, and secondly to buy Madam Zhang and Liu Ping'an mother and daughter.Liu Ping'an is a cannon fodder with a three-star importance level. The mission points you can get by taking her away are only slightly less than taking Xinghua away.

"It's Mr. Jiang." Yu Zizhen glanced at Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang weakly, "Will my trip be delayed again due to my illness?"

Mr. Jiang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, the prince can rest in peace and recuperate."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to the little girl Xinghua who seemed to be here originally, "This is..."

"Xinghua, I want to take her to Beijing with me and keep her by my side."

Mr. Jiang:? ? ?

Mr. Jiang:! ! !

Yu Zizhen continued before he could speak: "In the past, I had no room to make the final decision on my affairs, no matter how big or small. If not, I wouldn't have suffered from serious illnesses one after another. But starting from today , I will not be so stupid again. At least the people around me, I have to make sure that they are kind to me."

She stared at Mr. Jiang without hesitation, "Things like being a servant for many years, and being my parents, are just excuses for slaves to bully their young masters. I will never be fooled again in the future!"

Mr. Jiang lowered his head with a slight guilt.

Although he did not do anything excessive to Yu Zizhen, he witnessed with his own eyes the deception that Yu Zizhen suffered.

At first, like Yu Zizhen, he was very worried about Princess Zhenbei's face and feelings.Therefore, he did not be too tough on Nanny Hong when she first showed signs of being a slave and bullying her master. As a result, Yu Zizhen relapsed and almost died.

He felt guilty towards Yu Zizhen because of this incident, and at the same time, he could fully understand Yu Zizhen's uncharacteristically tough attitude.

After all, if it were him, he would have learned his lesson and made changes after almost losing his life.

But there is a problem here, that is, Xinghua was obviously not suddenly summoned from the Zhenbei Palace by Yu Zizhen using some strange magical power. She could only be smuggled into the carriage by Yu Zizhen when he just set off.

Mr. Jiang weighed for a moment and decided that he should not try to talk to her about Xinghua’s opportunity to get on the bus at this time when Yu Zizhen was feeling unwell, emotional, and particularly insecure.

He only cited Xinghua's age as the reason, "But this child is too young. The most important thing is that her mind is different from ordinary people after all. For safety reasons, it is better for the prince not to keep her by his side."

Yu Zizhen had been kidnapped in the palace by Princess Zhenbei. The only time she stepped out of the palace was last year when she rescued Xinghua by chance.

Xinghua didn't sign a physical deed but lived in the palace. In addition, she was still considered a "fool" by others, so basically everyone in the palace knew about her.

Mr. Jiang wanted to use Xinghua's unusualness to dissuade Yu Zizhen from keeping her by his side. However, Yu Zizhen was determined to keep Xinghua by his side.
