Chitose words

Until the eldest princess of Pingyang, Fu Jinglin, was surrounded by her confidant An Ruizhi, several maids, and many guards from the eldest princess's palace and rushed away, Xue Songyuan still didn't calm down for a while.

He was beaten so hard by Princess Pingyang's combination of punches that she was arrogant at first and incomprehensible at the end.

And Li Suining was also humiliated by Princess Pingyang's cover-up today, so she had no face to stay here any longer, let alone the mood to stay with Xie Zhao and others for a long time.

He bowed goodbye to them, rejected Jiang Ruliu's offer to stay, and then went downstairs and left Huamanlou with a gloomy expression.

However, judging from the direction he left, it seemed that he was not going back to Princess Pingyang's Mansion, but to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion.

Xie Zhao turned around and looked at Xue Songyuan with a wide smile and said:

"Did Mr. Xue not hear the order from Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why, aren't you leaving yet?"

She actually dared to humiliate and ridicule him!

Xue Songyuan simply gritted his teeth secretly!

But power is stronger than people. I don’t know what this Jianghu woman said to the eldest princess in private, which actually caused the eldest princess not only to change her mind and no longer "make the decision" for him, but also scolded him mercilessly in front of others to draw a clear line with him. !

Xue Songyuan glanced over everyone present in a pitiful manner, and in the end he could only say bitterly:

"Mountains and rivers will not change. Today's humiliation will be engraved in my heart. I will seek repayment from you in the future!"

After he finished speaking, he sternly shouted at the thugs surrounding Hedong Xue's bodyguard:

"What are you waiting for? Let's go! Do you want me to invite you?!"

After Hedong Xue's group also cursed and left, Huamanlou, which had been silent just now, roared and became lively again.

In front of Princess Pingyang just now, how can anyone dare to laugh and laugh at will?

Everyone was afraid that they would be affected by Chiyu. Now, finally, the atmosphere became lively again when Princess Pingyang, the "living king of hell", left.

Cui Yuechi came forward with Wu Ruoshu and solemnly bowed to Xie Zhao and others!

This time, the two of them were not just bowing down like ordinary people, but actually planning to kneel down to the ground to bow down.

Everyone was startled when they saw this, and then quickly stopped them to prevent them from actually knocking their heads off.

Especially Han Changsheng, his face was red and he waved his hands repeatedly. He really couldn't stand others kowtowing to him so solemnly. Oh my God!

Although they were unable to kowtow because they were blocked, the gratitude on Cui Yuechi and Wu Ruoshu's faces was still beyond words.

Cui Yuechi said gratefully: "Several knights have helped me again and again. Cui is so grateful for this kindness that he dare not forget it for a day."

Wu Ruoshu's eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you, Miss Xie, and thank you to the young heroes. If it hadn't been for the generous help of these few heroes, I'm afraid Ruoshu would have done it."

Speaking of this, she thought that she was very likely to have been killed by Xue Songyuan just now, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Ling You and Han Changsheng said, "It's just human nature, we don't dare to take credit."

There was also a hint of pity on Bo Xi's face under the mask, and then he shook his head gently.

Xie Zhao sighed: "We only tried our best, but we just heard what Xue Songyuan meant. It seems that Miss Wu was sent to the Jiaofang Division after serving an official term.

Although we don't know the girl's life experience, we also know that her current situation is indeed difficult. It's just that although we can help the girl this time, we may not be able to help every time. The girl still needs to take care of herself and think about her own future. "

They didn't know Wu Ruoshu's identity, but after hearing Xue Songyuan's words just now, they guessed that this Miss Wu was an official lady who had recently disappeared from the Jiaofang Division.

Perhaps before the family suffered a disaster, he had an extraordinary friendship with this young master of the Cui family in Qinghe.

But now that she has become a lowly member of the Jiaofang Division, she is afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in the future.

Wu Ruoshu didn't know this truth. She looked sad, and her beautiful face was filled with pain.

Han Changsheng couldn't bear to see this and said, "Can we possibly do something to help them?"

Xie Zhao was silent for a moment, but Ling You had already answered Han Changsheng's question for her.

He said: "In fact, serious crimes that harmed wives and children were rarely seen in temples in the Southern Dynasty. If it happened,"

Ling You paused for a moment, turned away with a hint of reluctance, and continued softly:

"It must be a serious and unforgivable crime that has caused harm to one party. This will involve my wife and daughter as a warning to others. I'm afraid we can't be of much help." Unexpectedly, when Wu Ruoshu heard this, she suddenly became a little excited.

She suddenly raised her head and said anxiously:

"My father is not a criminal who brought disaster to the country and the people! He, he was wronged!"

Xie Zhao frowned slightly.

It stands to reason that such a serious crime will definitely be tried by the three divisions, and a conclusion will be made only after careful consideration and solid evidence. Therefore, it should be said that there should be no unjust cases.

But out of politeness and caution, she still asked:

"Miss Wu, I still don't know who your father is."

Wu Ruoshu was silent for a moment and cried: "My father is the former Southwest Inspector, Wu Yong. He was unjustly accused of colluding with bandits, raising bandits, and causing trouble in the Southwest a month ago. This is a huge injustice!"

Xie Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and asked in astonishment: "You said your father is Mr. Wu Yong, the Inspector of Southwest China?"

Wu Ruoshu nodded heavily and said: "That's right! Please believe me, my benefactors, my father is really a good official, and there is absolutely no way he would collude with bandits!

What's more, when my mother-in-law was pregnant with her first child, she lost her first child because she was disturbed by bandits when she went out to burn incense. She was not pregnant for many years until she became pregnant with me many years later.

My father was once loyal to Xie Jiajun. In his life, he hated the gangsters who bullied the weak and brought trouble to the village. He would never collude with them!

The cause of my mother's death was also very strange. The night before, my mother said that my father's suicide in prison must have been plotted by someone. When she was escorted to the capital, she would have to express her love to the emperor. She also comforted and advised me not to be afraid.

But who would have known that in the early morning of the next day, my mother would be found dead in her bedroom by her servants! There was no way she could have committed suicide, so she must have been murdered! "

what?

This Miss Wu Ruoshu Wu's father is actually the former member of Xie Jiajun?

Her mother had said the night before that she would wait until she was escorted to Beijing to make a petition to the emperor, but she was found dead at home early the next morning?

Ling You, Han Changsheng and Bo Xi were startled when they heard this, and all took a breath.

Then, the three of them calmly and subconsciously looked at Xie Zhao, who was silent at the side.

——Xie Jiajun's old tribe, isn't that the mother clan of Fu Jingyan, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and Fu Jingci, the eldest princess of Tianchen?

The Southern Dynasties were always very particular about factions in the court and the army. With such a hard-core orthodox background, it stands to reason that they should not collude with bandits to cause trouble.

You can’t do this!

Xie Zhao didn't speak for a while, she just stared at Wu Ruoshu's anxious and delicate features.

It turns out that she is the daughter of General Wu Yong

Things in this world are connected one by one, and it's a coincidence.

Although Wu Ruoshu knew that the benefactors in front of her were just people in the world and had no control over the affairs of the temple, she still looked at them stubbornly and expectantly.

Because she believes that as long as every one more person is willing to believe in her, she is willing to believe in her father. Then in her heart, her father would not be extremely pathetic, and her father's name would be more likely to be cleared.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xie Zhao suddenly turned away, not knowing where his eyes fell.

She whispered:

"I believe you."

When Wu Ruoshu heard this, her eyes suddenly burst out with an extraordinarily bright light.

"Thank you, girl, do you really want to believe me?"

Xie Zhao nodded lightly.

"It's just that I want to know one thing. I wonder if Miss Wu knows about it."

Wu Ruoshu said in confusion: "What, what's the matter?"

Xie Zhao turned around, facing that lifelike silver-white fox face, and asked softly:

"What I want to know is whether Master Wu ever gave anything to Mrs. Wu or Miss Wu before his death."
