Chapter 32

Taifu Liu choked up when he talked about this.

Yesterday, Liu Yuzhen's case was brought to Jingzhao Mansion. Xue Zhen seemed to be frightened out of his courage and kept shouting into the void where Liu Yuzhen was.

As soon as the governor of Jingzhao asked, he poured out all the charges on himself, and at the end he said that as long as Liu Yuzhen didn't kill him, he would do anything.

The governor of Jingzhao saw that he was not in good spirits, but because Xue Zhen said so, the governor of Jingzhao sent someone to investigate the matter.

After checking everything inside and out, we found out that Liu Yuzhen was having a difficult delivery that day, and it was Po Wen who had tampered with her, as well as the servants around Xue Zhen.

It's just that they were all silenced by Xue Zhen, so naturally they wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it.

Later, when the Jingzhao Mansion started investigating and Xue Zhen himself confessed to the crime, the servant finally made it clear.

That servant was not an ordinary person, but... one of Xue Zhenyang's prostitutes, who was deeply loved by Xue Zhen.

This may be the reason why he escaped being silenced by Xue Zhen.

With witnesses and Xue Zhen's confession, the matter is confirmed.

However, Xue Zhen was an official of the imperial court after all, and his official position was not too low.

It is impossible for the governor of Jingzhao to pronounce the verdict directly.

Taifu Liu then took the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture and escorted Xue Zhen to kneel down at the gate of the palace and beg for His Majesty's sanction.

In the end, Xue Zhen naturally received the punishment he deserved. Xue's family was confiscated and Xue Zhen himself was exiled three thousand miles southwest and was not allowed to return to Beijing for life.

This is considered a severe penalty among severe penalties.

After receiving such a result, Taifu Liu felt refreshed and relaxed, as if all the chronic illnesses he had suffered in the past few days had been wiped away.

He excitedly ran to Pingninghou Mansion, firstly to report the good news to Song Shiyun, and secondly to say thank you to Song Shiyun.

"It's also strange that we met Xue Zhen at the wrong time. Now His Majesty is saddened by the new death of the princess. Hearing my cry, he severely punished Xue Zhen." Taifu Liu said, sighing: "I also have to thank Shi Yu. Princess and Your Majesty.”

Song Qingyuan listened at the side and nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty really loves the princess. Now that your Majesty has lost his daughter, he naturally feels the same thing about Miss Liu."

Song Shiyun sat aside and heard their conversation, but actually found it a bit funny.

Love is heavy...

But the person who killed her with his own hands was the father who others said loved her very much.

Even she herself still doesn't know why her father killed her.

He killed her first, and now he looks so heartbroken. Who is he putting on a show for?

Song Shiyun felt a little funny thinking about it.

"Second Miss—"

At this time, Taifu Liu called her.

Song Shiyun came back to his senses and said, "Xue Zhen has been punished. Miss Liu should be able to rest in peace."

Taifu Liu nodded solemnly, sighed, and said: "Yes, I just hope that Yuzhen can rest in peace. By the way-"

He changed the subject and looked at Song Shiyun.

"Actually, I came today not only to say thank you to the second young lady, but also to ask the second young lady for a favor."

Song Shiyun asked with some surprise: "Is there anything else I can do to help Taifu?"

Taifu Liu said seriously: "It's a relative at home. Something happened. I want to ask the second lady to take a look, but what's the problem?"

The question he asked was naturally not a simple question.

Song Shiyun said clearly: "Teacher, tell me first, what is going on?"

"This one……"

Taifu Liu was a bit speechless.

He stroked his beard and said: "That distant relative is a female member of my wife's natal family, and the matter is a bit complicated. I wonder if I can ask the second lady to go back with me, and we can talk while walking on the road?"

Song Qingyuan understood.

I'm afraid he shouldn't listen to the matter of the female family members.

Song Qingyuan stood up and said, "In that case, Shi Yun, please accompany Taifu for a while."

Song Shiyun heard this and said, "Yes."

Song Shiyun looked at Taifu Liu again and cupped his hands, "Taifu, Shiyun is a little girl and may not be able to help. Please don't be offended too much, Taifu."

Taifu Liu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I still know the second young lady's abilities, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to ask for help from the second young lady."

When Song Qingyuan heard this, he said nothing more.Song Shiyun and Liu Taifu left Pingninghou Mansion together.

After getting on the Liu family's carriage outside the gate, Song Shiyun asked what was going on.

There was no one else around, so Liu Taifu spoke directly.

The distant relative that Taifu Liu mentioned was none other than Guo, the daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Marquis of Xichang.

The Guo family is a distant relative of Mrs. Liu and is considered a prominent local family. After marrying into the Marquis of Xichang, she has been in contact with Mrs. Liu in Beijing and has a good relationship.

Liu Yuzhen's matter was such a big deal. When Mrs. Guo heard the news last night, she rushed to Liu's house to be with Mrs. Liu.

Knowing that Song Shiyun helped find out about Liu Yuzhen, Guo became more thoughtful.

She said that her niece has also had some problems recently. She behaves strangely and is sometimes gloomy, as if she is a different person.

"However, the private affairs of wealthy women are always kept secret, and Mrs. Guo did not tell us so clearly. The second lady had to go and see it in person to find out."

Taifu Liu explained to Song Shiyun.

As you get older, you tend to become soft-hearted. The Guo family often interacted with them and asked them for help, so Taifu Liu naturally found it hard to refuse.

Song Shiyun nodded and expressed understanding, "Then where are we going now? Directly to the Marquis' Mansion in Xichang?"

Taifu Liu said: "Yes, Mr. Guo said that if the second young lady agrees, let me take the second young lady directly to the Xichang Marquis Mansion."

Song Shiyun agreed, "That's good."

Seeing that she was very easy to talk to, Mrs. Liu felt a little embarrassed, "I'm really bothering the second lady."

Song Shiyun smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am not a kind person, nor am I just helping the Master. In fact, I also want to ask the Master for help."

When Taifu Liu heard this, he was surprised for a moment, but he was very happy, "The second young lady is quick to talk, I don't know what kind of help the second young lady wants from me, but I will definitely be obliged to help you if I can."

Song Shiyun smiled shyly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I just came back from the countryside. I don't know many etiquette rules in Beijing, so I wanted to go to the Imperial Academy to learn the rules and read more books, but I introduced I’m a female streamer and I don’t have much talent or ability. I wonder if Mrs. Liu can help me?”

Upon hearing this, Taifu Liu stroked his beard and asked subconsciously: "Why doesn't the second lady ask Mr. Marquis for help?"

The smile on Song Shiyun's face became more and more embarrassed, "I asked my father, but he was not very helpful with this kind of thing."

Taifu Liu suddenly realized that Pingninghou Mansion had almost only a false reputation in Song Qingyuan's generation.

Song Qingyuan didn't have any great abilities. He relied on the blessings from his ancestors to hold a false position and had no connections anywhere.

It is indeed not easy to stuff Song Shiyun into the Imperial College out of thin air.

Taifu Liu was different. At that time, Taifu Liu had many disciples and was highly respected by the students of the Imperial College.

It is easier for him to contribute in this kind of matter.

Taifu Liu thought to himself that Song Qingyuan probably came up with this idea for Song Shiyun.

Thinking of this, Taifu Liu smiled and said: "This is not a big deal. It is still within my ability. I promise that the second lady can go to Guozi to monitor the study tomorrow."

Hearing this, Song Shiyun bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

Taifu Liu gave Song Shiyun a meaningful look, "Second Miss, there is no need to thank me. In my opinion, Second Miss has real abilities. After entering the Imperial College, she can work hard and maybe join the Tiansi Bureau one day." .When the time comes, I will ask the Second Young Lady to protect me."

Song Shiyun heard the words, but smiled and said nothing, as if he felt guilty after being seen through.

Seeing this, Taifu Liu became more convinced of his idea.

Song Shiyun's desire to enter the Imperial Academy may not be that simple, but he is preparing to enter the Tiansi Bureau one day.

This is a good plan.

But after all, he was too young, and after just asking a few questions, he showed his timidity.

However, Taifu Liu liked Song Shiyun's temperament.

If Song Shiyun really said that he had nothing to ask for, he would have to wonder why Song Shiyun helped him and the Liu family.

fair enough.

The Liu family accepted Song Shiyun's kindness, so he returned the favor to Song Shiyun.

Taifu Liu looked at Song Shiyun with admiration, and soon took Song Shiyun to the Marquis Mansion in Xichang.

It was only after arriving at the Xichang Marquis' Mansion that Song Shiyun discovered that the Xichang Marquis' Mansion seemed to be quite lively today.

After taking a look at the carriage parked near the gate, Song Shiyun followed Taifu Liu towards the Xichang Marquis Mansion and asked in a low voice: "Is today a big day for the Xichang Marquis Mansion? It looks like it's here." Few people?"

Upon hearing this, Taifu Liu followed her gaze, glanced at the carriages, and whispered: "Today is the day when the fourth daughter, the legitimate daughter of the eldest son of the Marquis of Xichang, gets her hair."
