Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 35

Assassinated (1)
After Duan Yixin finished eating, she spread all the medicinal herbs on the drying racks and let them dry under the sun. Just when she was about to go to the forest to find more medicinal herbs, she heard Chi Xinru’s voice coming from the front yard.

“Xin Xin, are you at home?”

Putting down the bamboo basket, Duan Yixin went to open the door. When she saw Chi Xinru’s frowning face, Duan Yixin asked, “What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

Chi Xinru shook her head and said, “It’s not me. Have you heard about what Duan Xiyan did this morning?”

Duan Yixin tilted her head, trying to remember who Duan Xiyan was, but she didn’t remember hearing this name before. Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I don’t know her. Who is she?”

Chi Xinru patted her own forehead and said, “Ah, I forgot that you haven’t talked to her after you lost your memory. You may not remember her, but Duan Xiyan is your maternal cousin, and she came with Duan Sida before. She is the only child of Duan Sida and Zhao Xiaohua. According to what I heard from the villagers, the bride Master Chen wanted was Duan Xiyan. But because she threatened her father with her life, Duan Sida set his sights on you and plans to change the bride. But this morning, Duan Xiyan escaped from her home.”

Duan Yixin listened to the gossip and finally knew the reason why Duan Sida dared to take a risk to kidnap her and go to jail. It turned out that if she didn’t marry Master Chen, Duan Xiyan would be the one who would marry that perverted old man.

As a father, Duan Sida can be said to be a loving father since he is willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter. But in Duan Yixin’s eyes, Duan Sida was an enemy she must eliminate. But now, after the Yamen Guard caught him, he did not pose a danger to her for the time being.

Duan Yixin thought about the information Chi Xinru had just told her. If she is a substitute bride for Duan Xiyan, then Master Chen may come to find her after Duan Xiyan escaped this morning. Judging from the reaction of the Duan family, Duan Yixin can conclude that this Master Chen is someone she cannot afford to offend with her current status.

‘It seems that I have to find out about this Master Chen and make early preparations in case he really comes to force me to get married.’

Seeing her deep in thought, Chi Xinru said, “Xin Xin, you have to be careful these days. With Duan Xiyan’s character, I’m afraid she will blame you and do something to you because of her family affairs. Besides, I don’t know what the old pervert will do after Duan Xiyan disappears. He may send people to force you to marry him.”

Seeing Chi Xinru’s worried look, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “I will listen to you. Do you want to go in and have a chat?”

Chi Xinru shook her head and said, “I’m just here to warn you about Duan Xiyan. I still have to help my mother with work.”

“All right. Thank you for coming to tell me about Duan Xiyan.” Duan Yixin said sincerely.

“Mhm. I’m going back first. See you later, Xin Xin.” After saying this, Chi Xinru returned to her home.

Looking at her back, Duan Yixin smiled and thought, ‘Although she doubts me, Chi Xinru is still sincere with me. If there is a chance in the future, I should repay her kindness.’

After thinking about it, Duan Yixin took the bamboo basket and small hoe and walked into the forest. She needs to collect more medicinal herbs to earn money. When she collects enough varieties and seeds, she can start her plan to plant them.

If she succeeds in growing the medicinal herbs, then she doesn’t have to collect medicinal herbs every day in the forest. Additionally, one of her professions is that of a master herbalist, and her specialty is growing and creating new varieties of medicinal herbs.

This world is so rich in resources, and she believes that with her knowledge and skills, she can create unlimited medicines and medicinal herbs to save more people.

When Duan Yixin went to the forest while planning what she would do with the medicinal herbs, a man rode a horse at a fast speed to the imperial capital city. When the man saw that the horse was so tired that it was foaming at the corners of its mouth, he clenched the reins tighter.

Half an hour later, the man arrived at the nearest relay station. He jumped off his horse, threw the reins to the servant, and said, “Give me a strong horse.”

The servant nodded and led the tired horse to the stable while the man walked into the relay station. Seeing him come in, the steward stepped forward and asked, “Sir, do you want to stay for the night or just rest for a while?”

The man shook his head and said, “Prepare dry food and water. I will set off when the horse is ready.”

The steward looked at his dusty clothes and saw the black token hanging on his waist. As soon as the steward saw the black token, he lowered his eyes, and his tone became more polite, “This subordinate will go and prepare the food and water now.”

After the steward left, the man sat at the empty table and poured a glass of water. While waiting, he never let go of the sword in his hand. Not long after, the steward came back with a small package and a water bag.

The man stood up, took the package and the water bag from the steward, and then handed him a silver ingot. The steward looked at the big silver ingot and said with a smile, “Thank you, Sir, for your patronage.”
