In a few days.

Xu Jingxi’s hands were almost good, so she took advantage of the time when she was not in class to take on some jobs within her ability to supplement the family income.

 In fact, after he demolished the wooden beams of the red-tiled mansion last time, the carpenter shopkeeper gave him three hundred taels.

 He used it all to renovate the house and give Grandpa Xu a better place to live.

 Otherwise winter is coming, and if it snows again, his house will collapse.

Xu Jingxi refused to accept help from Shen Ningning and lived on his own.

He had just written a few letters for a family. When he came out of the yard, he heard a familiar voice.

“Old lady, does your family live here?”

Xu Jingxi looked over with sharp eyes and saw Liang Yici carrying an old man on his back and about to walk into a house.

“Yes, yes, it’s right here.” The old man on her back smiled.

He kept praising Liang Yici: "Little girl, you are so kind-hearted. I have been lying there for a long time. As long as you are willing to help me, you will definitely be rewarded."

Hearing this, Liang Yici couldn't help but smile: "It's what you should do to help others. Why are the people in the capital so indifferent and don't care about you?"

Seeing her carrying the old woman into the courtyard, Xu Jingxi thought about her attitude towards Shen Ningning, then turned around and left without meddling in other people's business.

evening.

When Mr. Xie returned home, he heard Butler Pang say: "Second Master, I asked you to have dinner first. He has some urgent matters in the palace and cannot come back to his house."

 Second Master Xie nodded. In the past, his eldest brother Xie Suzhi was often too busy to come back.

He took off his robe: "Where is Ning Ning? She should come back for dinner tonight. If she is here, please send a message to the kitchen to serve food."

Steward Pang was a little embarrassed: "Her Royal Highness, the princess, is not at home either. She followed the master into the palace."

 Er Master Xie was a little surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses: "What about Mingxu and Ming'an?"

“The two young masters are not here, they are also in the palace...” Butler Pang was sweating a little.

Seeing that he looked wrong, Mr. Xie turned cold and said, "Did something happen in the palace? Brother and the others are in trouble?"

Butler Pang broke into a cold sweat: "Second Master, don't worry, it's not our family's business."

"Then why are the four of us in the palace?" Mr. Xie lowered his voice: "Speak!"

Steward Pang had no choice but to speak.

“Actually, it was General Fang who annoyed the Emperor at court today…”

Fang Qingdai sent secret messages to the emperor one after another, hoping that the emperor would arrange for someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the Huo family, but the emperor turned them back.

So, this morning in court, she simply announced it directly in court, and the emperor's face was ashen.

It is said that the commotion was very unpleasant, the emperor wanted to punish him, and all the officials tried to dissuade him.

 After all, General Liang died in the battle not long ago, and General Fang had outstanding military achievements. If the emperor punished her at this time, wouldn't it make the people feel cold?

As the general leading the army, Xie Mingxu naturally had to intercede for Fang Qingdai.

Shen Ningning happened to go into the palace to play with Mo Lingwei. After hearing the news, she also pulled Mo Lingwei there.

Xie Mingan entered the palace for his sister, while Xie Suzhi, as prime minister, stayed to persuade the emperor to calm down.

So none of the four members of the family came back.

When Mr. Xie heard about this, his eyes were filled with confusion.

 He subconsciously turned around and was about to go out.

Steward Pang hurriedly raised his thin cloak and followed him: "Second Master! Second Master, don't be anxious. I have already returned with a message. It's nothing serious."

 “It’s already dark, you’d better not go out!”

Mr. Xie suddenly paused when he reached the foot of the steps.

His thin eyes were deep and full of complex emotions.

Uncle Pang spoke euphemistically, but actually, what does it have to do with the darkness of the night?

His legs and feet are inconvenient, and since he fell ill, he has not held any official position in the court. He relies entirely on the merits he has accumulated in the past to survive.

Even if he wants to enter the palace, he still wants to contribute to Fang Qingdai, but why should he?

 What is his identity?

That’s all…

Mr. Xie turned around silently, leaving behind a lonely word.

“You can notify me when my eldest brother returns home.”

At this moment, someone riding a fast horse stopped at the gate of Xie's Mansion.

Mr. Xie turned around and saw that it was Lu Shaoyuan. Lu Shaoyuan turned over and dismounted, his handsome face was quite high-spirited.

However, when he saw Mr. Xie, he was stunned and quickly bowed his hands.

“Junior has met the second master of the Xie family, may I ask, is Shen Ningning here?”

"Ning Ning went to the palace to accompany the prince, but she hasn't come back yet. What do you want to do with her?"

Lu Shaoyuan was about to speak but stopped.

What an unlucky thing, I happened to meet Mr. Xie.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Actually, nothing happened. I just heard that Princess Rong Shu was captured by the officials. The officials notified General Fang, but there was no one in the Fang Mansion."

"I thought before that Shen Ningning said she had to take care of...um..." Originally, he wanted to remind Shen Ningning about this. Who told the little guy that her second uncle cared about General Italy?

Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan came and met the real owner!

Mr. Xie was already astonished: "The princess has been arrested? Uncle Pang, hurry up and prepare the carriage."

No matter how hard it was to dissuade Uncle Pang, he could only do it immediately.

 After a while.

Lu Shaoyuan took Mr. Xie and rushed to the government office.

In the yamen, Liang Yici stood upright and said angrily: "I'll say it again, it was not me who caused her fall! It was obviously her who fell on the roadside, and I kindly sent her home, that's all!"

The old man lying on the ground next to him covered his heart and cried out in pain.

Her daughter-in-law supported her with a snarky look on her face.

"What happened after you entered the yard? You kicked each of us, and my husband is still lying in the hospital after you kicked him!"

"As soon as I was let into the yard, you surrounded me, saying that I pushed the old man and asked me to pay compensation with money! It's really unreasonable." Liang Yici was furious.

The old woman who had been helped by her was crying and shouting: "Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for us!"

"She, if she didn't feel guilty, why would she betray me? Originally, she was just sent to my house, but I asked her to pay for it, but she continues to hurt people. There is no justice or law!"

Liang Yici was anxious and felt at a loss for words.

 “You!” She stepped forward and wanted to grab the old woman’s collar and talk.

Unexpectedly, the old woman fell to the ground, pretending to be frightened and fainted, and her daughter-in-law lay on top of her, crying and screaming.

The officials responsible for reviewing the case are also the first and the second.

This old woman is well-known as a hustler in the capital city.

 Because of her age, she always throws herself down on the side of the road, waiting for kind-hearted people to help her up and trick them again.

Those who knew her would have taken a detour long ago.

It just so happened that Princess Rongshu had just returned to Beijing. She was unfamiliar with the place and didn't understand anything.

 I sent someone home with good intentions, but ended up doing the wrong thing.

Originally, the case was very simple, and this old woman was also a liar. She was a frequent visitor to the government.

Unexpectedly, Rongshu County took the initiative this time and really injured them.

 This is difficult to do.

According to the law, the emperor and the common people are equally guilty. If the princess injures the common people without any reason, she will also be imprisoned for three days!

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

“How much do you want me to compensate her?”

Liang Yici was stunned and looked back.

I saw Mr. Xie walking in with a majestic look.

 She had seen Mr. Xie’s portrait among the old things her mother had collected.

The sword eyebrows are very strong, the black eyes are sharp, the shape is tall and not rough, and it has the momentum that is difficult to ignore.

Her father also praised Mr. Xie once.

 It is said that he is the **** of war who can kill all the enemies on the battlefield.

pity…

Liang Yici looked down at his legs.

  No matter how legendary the person was back then, now he is just a useless person lying at home. He has broken her mother's heart and done such dirty things!

Liang Yici looked away, her tone was cold and decisive: "I don't need you to help me compensate! What's black is black. She deceived people, lied and set up a trap for me. I hit people just to be on guard. What's wrong with that?"
