Chapter 140 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 4

The carriage was split into two in an instant, and Changsun Yizhong was exposed to the murderer.

As the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had learned some skills since he was a child, so he dodged several attacks.

But after several struggles, he was running out of strength and the murderer seized the opportunity and stabbed him forward with a knife.

The murderer only wanted to stab him, then take him hostage and escape from Shangjing City, so the point where the knife tip was aimed was not fatal.

Chu Yuan seized the opportunity, took a few steps forward and pushed the young master away.

These steps seemed to be taken casually in an emergency, but in fact everything was under her control.

After pushing the young man away, the murderer inserted the knife in his hand straight into her ribs three-quarters of the way down.

However, due to her control, the wound was not very deep and did not damage her internal organs. It just bled a lot and looked horrible.

The murderer failed in his first attack and wanted to attack again, but unfortunately no one gave him a second chance because the Royal Guards had arrived.

......

When Chu Yuan woke up again, he was lying on an exquisite bunk bed with two maids surrounding him.

"Madam, Zhu Yun is awake."

Then a group of people filed in, and the one walking in front was the Xiangfu's wife: "Zhu Yun, how do you feel?"

Chu Yuan wanted to sit up, but was stopped by the nanny beside his wife: "Zhu Yun, the doctor said you have lost too much blood. You can't get up now."

She had no choice but to give up and lie down to reply to the lady: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I am fine."

"He lost so much blood, how could he be alright? Thank you for coming forward and saving Yi'er. When you recover, you can give me any reward you want."

After getting Madam's promise, Chu Yuan seized the opportunity to speak out what was in his mind: "Madam, I have a favor to ask of you now. I hope Madam will grant my permission."

"Please tell me and listen."

"I would like to ask for Madam's grace, so that my brother and I can redeem ourselves and leave the mansion, and escape from slavery."

The lady felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, because Yi'er had just asked her to take good care of the little maid.

Judging from his appearance, he probably likes her and wants to take her into his room.

If we agree to this maid's request and let her leave the house now, I'm afraid Yi'er won't be willing.

Seeing his wife's hesitant look, Chu Yuan anxiously supported the edge of the bed with both hands and pretended to get up.

The lady quickly stopped her and said, "How about this, I can let your brother go, and you don't have to redeem him.

As for you, you are from the eldest master's courtyard after all. When you have recovered from your injuries, go and ask the eldest master for his opinion. If he agrees, I will not stop you. "

"Thank you ma'am for your grace."

......

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, Chu Yuan's injuries had recovered, and she returned to Yuxiuyuan to await orders.

The first thing she did when she came back was to pay her respects to the young master. However, before she could salute him, she heard the young master's voice:

"I heard that you asked your mother to leave the house?"

"Yes, Madam asked me to ask you what you think, so I came here today to ask for your approval."

Gongsun Yizhong looked puzzled: "A few days ago, my mother said she wanted to choose a concubine for me, and I mentioned your name to her."

Chu Yuan knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, I am very grateful for your kindness, but I don't want to be someone's concubine. I beg you to allow me to leave the house for the sake of my protection."

"Haha, if you don't want to be a concubine, would you rather go out and marry an ordinary person and worry about your livelihood every day than serve me?"

Chu Yuan kowtowed again: "Please allow me, sir."

"Okay, you are very good. I agree to your request. Get out now."

Chu Yuan didn't care about his attitude as she got what she wanted. The next day, she took over her and her brother's household registration from the lady, packed her luggage and left the house.

The names written on the household registration were Chu Yuan and Chu Yang.

With a household registration, they have a basis for settling down in the capital city.

Chu Yuan was very grateful to the lady for doing this for them. If they were asked to take the deeds and exchange them for good status themselves, they would have to spend some money.

When she was a maid, she received a lot of rewards and originally wanted to use the money to redeem herself.

But the lady was kind-hearted and felt sorry for the two siblings who had to make a living on their own in the future, so not only did she not ask for redemption money, she also gave them a silver note for 50 taels.

Now this amount of money is just enough to buy a small yard.

Chu Yuan brought her brother to the dental clinic. The dentist who received them was the same one from before and he had some impression of them.

After all, it is rare to see someone who sells herself as a slave and asks her master to bring her younger brother along.

The broker was very surprised when he heard that they wanted to buy a house.

But people in their line of work believe in doing things for money, and not asking questions that are not necessary.

According to the two people's budget, the broker took them to the suburbs of the city.

The land in Shangjing City is very expensive, and they only have a budget of 100 taels. They have to live together, so of course they can only move to the suburbs.

In fact, Chu Yuan has plenty of money in his space, more than enough to buy the entire prime minister's mansion. But now that he has a younger brother, many things cannot be exposed.

So he could only spend one hundred and ten taels to buy a courtyard with three rooms on the outskirts of the city.

Fortunately, the owner of the yard had already moved in with his family, so the house could be cleaned up and moved in immediately, saving them the trouble of spending money to stay in an inn.

Chu Yuan gave the broker two taels of silver and asked him to find two people to help with the cleaning, and the rest would be his reward.

The agent was very efficient and had cleaned the house looking brand new in just the morning.

Chu Yuan took his brother to buy some daily necessities, food and vegetables, and cooked the first meal after moving into the new home.

While eating, Chu Yang was a little unhappy: "Sister, we have already spent most of our savings today. Will we not be able to eat in the future?"

Chu Yuan touched his head and said, "Don't worry about the money. I will find a way. When I make enough money, I will send you to the academy to continue your studies."

"Sister, I am already 9 years old, not a child anymore. How can I put all the burden of supporting the family on you?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to make money, so you just need to wait patiently for school."

Chu Yuan was not talking nonsense. With so many skills, it would be easy for her to make money.

That night she locked herself in the room with a candle lit all night.

Chu Yuan went out at dawn the next day, holding in her hands several clothing design drawings that she had drawn overnight.

She planned to look for a few garment shops to see if she could cooperate with them. She would provide the designs and they would provide the craftsmanship, and they would make money together.

After walking around two streets, Chu Yuan found a shop that met her requirements. It was called Nishangguan. From the ready-made clothes hanging inside, it could be seen that the craftsmen here had good skills.
