After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 292 Taoyao's Life Experience

Neither of these two results was what Xu Yingying wanted. After thinking about it, Cui Jiangyuan suddenly popped up in Xu Yingying's mind. Coincidentally, Cui Jiangyuan also had the last name Cui. Maybe they were related?

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately found Cui Jiangyuan.

Cui Jiangyuan seemed particularly surprised at Xu Yingying's sudden visit.

"What's wrong? Why does the Seventh Princess feel like coming to Cui Mansion today?" Cui Jiangyuan asked.

Xu Yingying didn't want to talk to him any more nonsense, so she got straight to the point: "I want to ask you about someone, her name is Cui Jiangjiang, she has the same last name as you, so I came here today to ask if you know this person?"

"Cui... Jiang Jiang..."

Cui Jiangyuan went through all the people he knew in his mind, but found that he really didn't know this person. He shook his head helplessly and replied: "Reporting to the Seventh Princess, I don't know this person."

Upon hearing this answer, Xu Yingying immediately made a final struggle, "Are you sure? Mr. Cui, please think about it carefully?"

Cui Jiangyuan thought about it again after hearing this, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "Madam, I really don't know this person."

Seeing this, Xu Yingying knew that she would not get an answer by questioning Cui Jiangyuan any further, so she could only say with some disappointment: "Okay! Then I have something else to do, so I will leave first. Thank you for troubling Mr. Cui."

"Okay, let's see the Seventh Princess off." Cui Jiangyuan said respectfully.

After Xu Yingying failed to find out anything from Cui Jiangyuan, she returned to the palace to take care of Li Siqi.

Because the imperial doctors used expensive medicinal materials to prolong Li Siqi's life, and the imperial hospital doctors took turns to take care of him, Li Siqi's injuries gradually improved, and Li Siqi was rescued from the gates of hell.

In addition, the cold poison has been cured and without any restraints, Li Siqi's health is getting better day by day.

When Xu Yingying returned home, Li Siqi had already woken up.

He saw Xu Yingying coming back and asked hurriedly, "Where have you been? Yingying."

Xu Yingying was extremely happy to see Li Siqi wake up, "You're awake!"

"I'm asked to find someone. Her name is Cui Jiangjiang." Xu Yingying answered truthfully.

"Oh, I see! I'll ask the secret guards to help you check it out! They are more efficient." Li Siqi said after listening.

Xu Yingying's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, "Okay!"

So Li Siqi asked the secret guards to investigate, and it turned out that the secret guards really found out.

in the room.

The secret guard knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Highness, Princess, you asked me to find out about Cui Jiangjiang's identity. I have found out. Cui Jiangjiang has changed her name to Baihe and is working as a prostitute in Yihongyuan."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said to Li Siqi: "I want to go see her."

Li Siqi nodded after listening, "Okay! Then I'll make arrangements."

At noon, in Yihong Courtyard.

With Li Siqi's help, Xu Yingying successfully met Baihe.

Although Lily works in Yihongyuan, his every move and gesture exudes an elegance that does not belong to the mundane world, which makes Xu Yingying feel indescribable.

"I wonder what the young lady wants to talk to me about?" Lily saw that Xu Yingying didn't say anything for a long time and kept looking at her, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know a girl named Taoyao? She asked me to come find you and told me to tell you something. She said you must live well and live your life happily."

Xu Yingying relayed Taoyao's words to Baihe.

Lily's eyes widened when she heard this. She excitedly grabbed Xu Yingying's arm and asked, "Taoyao? That's my sister. May I ask where my sister is now? Why doesn't she come to find me in person? Is there something wrong with her? Then I'll go find her."

Lily's eyes were filled with anticipation and joy.

Xu Yingying felt sorry for this, but she had no better choice. After thinking for a while, she could only tell Baihe bluntly, "Your sister...she's dead."

Lily's eyes were filled with disbelief when she heard this. Before Xu Yingying could finish her words, she interrupted and said, "Impossible, my sister is such a smart person, how could she die like this?"

"Impossible, you are definitely lying to me, I don't believe it." Lily shook her head like a rattle, she just didn't believe that Taoyao would die.

Xu Yingying sighed and helplessly told what had happened during this period, adding some of her own speculations, "For some unknown reason, your sister was kidnapped by the high priest of the Western Regions and has been imprisoned by the high priest."

"Then we went to the Western Regions to look for an antidote, but our identities were accidentally discovered by the high priest and we were imprisoned in the palace. Your sister had an incurable disease at the time, and she was very happy to learn that we were Han Chinese. In the end, with her best efforts to help us escape, but she stayed there forever."

Not everything Xu Yingying said was true. There were some things she couldn't tell Tao Yao, so she made up some lies to cover them up.

When Lily heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

"Wow, my sister, she was such a smart person. In order to protect me, she took the initiative to face the traffickers, and then she was abducted and disappeared. I have been looking for her whereabouts all these years. Now I have some savings, I can take her in and live a good life, but I didn't expect that she would be gone."

Lily cried to Xu Yingying.

Only then did Xu Yingying understand the whole story. Hearing this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: They are both unfortunate people.

The next second, Lily took out all her savings from her pocket and gave them to Xu Yingying.

"What is this?" Xu Yingying asked puzzledly.

"This is the private money I hid without my mother's knowledge. I hope you can use this money to help my sister find a good place to bury her. If you don't mind the trouble, please help me find a respected master in the temple to pray for my sister's soul, so that she can be reborn into a good family in the next life and live a happy life instead of suffering like this one."

Lily sobbed.

Xu Yingying couldn't bear to reject Lily, so she could only nod and agree, "Okay."

Seeing that Xu Yingying agreed to her, Lily excitedly knelt down to Xu Yingying and said, "Thank you."

"Get up, get up. What are you doing?" Seeing this, Xu Yingying quickly pulled Lily up.

And just like that, Xu Yingying said goodbye to Lily.

After returning to the mansion, Xu Yingying was not idle. She first found someone to go to Yihongyuan under an assumed name to redeem Lily's indenture contract. Then she specifically asked her subordinates to change Lily's identity from a slave to a good citizen. She also anonymously sent Lily enough money for her to live out the rest of her life without worries about food and clothing.

After doing all this, Xu Yingying felt a little better.

Xu Yingying used the money given by Lily to do charity. She set up a porridge stall in the capital to provide free porridge to beggars, in order to accumulate merit for Lily.

Li Siqi was also very busy. After he almost recovered, the emperor appointed him as regent to help him handle government affairs.

Because the emperor was old and no longer able to handle many things, he began to think about abdicating.
