Chapter 212 Let Me In
Jiuyue made a decision in her heart that she couldn't let her mother-in-law accompany her this time.
Compared to what happened to her, it was obvious that her second sister-in-law's child was a bit more important.
No matter what she had to face in the future, she believed she could take it all on herself.
She washed up and went to the kitchen to build fires and cook.
Just as the fire was lit, Cuihua got up.
When she walked into the kitchen with the basin, she saw Jiuyue sitting in front of the stove, dazed.
She asked, "Jiu? What's wrong? Are you still sleepy?"
Jiuyue turned her head back, and only then did Cuihua see her face clearly. Seeing that she seemed to be a bit down in the dumps, she understood that she must have been affected by what happened yesterday.
"Why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while? It's okay. Hong would help drive."
Jiuyue shook her head, "It's okay, mom. It's just that today I want to go to Xiyuan by myself. You'd better stay at home."
How could Cuihua feel at ease? Although she knew that her son wouldn't do such a thing, everything could happen. What should Jiuyue do if Granny Wang was really right?
She immediately refused: "No, I have to go with you."
Jiuyue knew that Cuihua was worried about her. She stood up from the small stool, looked her in the eyes, and said seriously, "Mom, you really can't go. Our family needs you to be in charge. I... I had a dream again yesterday."
The dreams that Jiuyue, the lucky doll, had in the past few months have come true one by one. So when Cuihua heard that she dreamed again, she subconsciously frowned, "Dreaming again? What did you dream about this time?"
Jiuyue frowned and told Cuihua about the bloody dream she had last night.
"I dreamed that second sister-in-law was hit by a small child and her baby... was lost..."
Cuihua was silent. She could not risk her grandson. She knew how to set priorities.
She sighed and had no choice but to compromise, "You all make me worry. In that case, you should take care of yourself. When you see Xiyuan, talk to him nicely. I've lived most of my life and have seen a lot of things like that. Seeing may not be believing. You must give him a chance to explain. Don't be fooled by others."
As Jiuyue listened to her words, she calmed down.
Right. Since she was going there, she had to figure out this matter.
It didn't make sense that he wanted to marry her a few days ago and had another woman the next day. The weather in June would change so fast as that.
"Mom, don't worry. I knew that. Since I'm going there, I will not come back until I figure it out thoroughly. I will definitely not compromise myself."
Seeing that her gaze was firm and she was no longer as dispirited as she was yesterday, Cuihua was relieved a little.
"Good child, I knew you were a good listener."

After breakfast, Jiuyue put on an bamboo hat and rode Hong on the road to Yongzhou City alone with a small bag on her back.
She wanted to figure out the truth earlier. So she galloped all the way to the gates of Yongzhou City in about more than an hour.
Outside Yongzhou City, there were refugees in rags everywhere. Jiuyue rode on a horse and looked at them from a high position.
In the distance, there were people lining up for porridge, which was the fundamental reason why many refugees gathered here.
Jiuyue came to the city gate and found that she was in trouble.
The city of Yongzhou was now closed to all except those with local number cards.
As a visitor from outside the city, she talked nicely to the guard at the gate, but he still wouldn't let her in.
"Cut the crap! The general has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!"
Jiuyue was very frustrated and vaguely regretted that she had not brought the token that sister Yi had given to her. She could at least get herself in with it.
She pleaded again: "Please, sir, I have a close relationship with Miss Su. Why don't you go ask her?"
The guard sized her up from head to toe and snorted, "You? have a close relationship with Miss Su? Think twice about it before bragging. You really dare to say anything! I have a close relationship with General Su! Go, go, go! Little girl, go away. Don't waste your time with me!"
When Jiuyue saw that he did not believe her, she was suddenly anxious, "I didn't lie. I really didn't lie. You can let someone ask Miss Su!"
The man ignored what she said and pulled out his broadsword, "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"
It just happened that Kuo was on guard duty today, and the argument over here soon drew his attention.
He came over and asked in a loud voice, "Who is talking loudly here?"
When Jiuyue saw that he was an official-looking person, she hurriedly bowed to him, "General, I want to go into the city to look for my husband. I am really not a bad person! I am acquainted with Miss Su and you can send someone to ask."
Kuo was with Zhuang earlier. That night when this woman led Miss Su to escape, he happened to be right beside them.
The woman lifted the curtain on her bamboo hat by half, revealing her face. Of course, he remembered such a rare beauty.
Kuo nodded, "I know you. Are you called Su... Su... Jiuyue?"
Seeing that he call her name, Jiuyue was immediately happy, "General, you have a good memory. It's me! It's me!"
Only then did Kuo wave his hand, "All right, let her in."
The guard didn't expect that this woman really knew Miss Su. He immediately panicked and feared that she would accuse him in front of Miss Su.
When Kuo saw his sad face, he chuckled, "Don't think blindly. The general and the eldest lady are not that kinds of people. You were ordered to do something, and you didn't obey them. What are you afraid of? Cheer up! Keep the door!"
With his words, the guard seemed to be reassured. He immediately held his head high and said, "yes!"

Jiuyue didn't know where the Hao Yuan Academy was. She asked around while looking for the place. Finally, she found the location of Hao Yuan Academy.
The Hao Yuan Academy was slightly isolated: in the southernmost part of Yongzhou City.
She stood at the entrance and looked at the statues of two immortal cranes placed on either side of a high step. There was a plaque hanging above her head with four big words written on it.
Hao Yuan Academy.
Jiuyue didn't know what kind of font this was. It was just that the uninhibited writing style really had a feeling of "a recluse with no fixed abode". The calligraphy was really great!
There was no one going in or out of such a grand doorway.
She was a bit timid at that time and did not dare to knock on the door.
Just as she hesitated, suddenly the black door opened from the inside. A young woman wearing a small light yellow jacket and a lake blue moonlight dress came out from the inside, followed by a maid.
(Author noted: Jiuyue thought, "Goblin! Let go of my man!")
