Chapter 161

Meng Jiayue went to see Yao Kun again this day, and after some conversation, brought back news to Qian Shixin.

She told Yao Kun that he was not allowed to see Lu Zheng when he was in the barracks. But at first Lu was tied to the school yard, starved, frozen and tortured, so he also looked at it from a distance. Lu Zheng was seriously injured, and looked like he was dying. Later, he heard from An Ruochen that Lu Zheng had recruited something. But An Ruochen went to see Lu Zheng by himself, and was also reprimanded by General Long. Then, Lu Zheng was transferred to the tent, and it was heard that the general did not torture him again.

Qian Shixin asked: “An Ruochen, can you say what happened to Lu Zheng?”

Meng Jiayue showed hesitation, and said after a while: “Lu Zheng said that Lord Qian is also a secret agent, and he has a witness. It is a subordinate named Lu Bo next to the Lord. Lu Zheng said that the Lord has always let Lu Bo and him Connector. It is also said that Tang Xuan is also the connector of Xizuo. Before that, there was a Mr. Min. But these people are gone. There is also the aunt from Jingxin Temple, who is the killer in Xizuo. He helped kill many people. People. Mr. Huo was killed by her.”

As Meng Jiayue said, she carefully glanced at Qian Shixin. She was shocked when she heard these things, but Yao Kun told her to tell Qian Shixin exactly what he said. If you expose him face-to-face, you will expose him face-to-face. Anyway, he himself forced him to ask.

Meng Jiayue thought that Qian Shixin would react angrily, but he didn’t. He listened expressionlessly, then smiled suddenly: “This is interesting. I do have a subordinate named Lu Bo by my side. But I never asked him to contact Lu Zheng, and I didn’t even know that he knew Lu Zheng.” The strange thing is, I asked Lu Zheng and Lu Bo to hunt down Master Yao, but Lu Bo disappeared. He never returned, and he doesn’t know where he is now.”

Meng Jiayue didn’t speak. She didn’t want to confront Qian Shixin, it didn’t matter how Qian Shixin tried to defend himself.

After Qian Shixin finished laughing, he shook his head with a worried expression, and said, “Lu Zheng’s nonsense is very detrimental to Master Yao.”

Meng Jiayue was very cooperative and said: “Master Qian please advise.”

“Mr. Min, I have seen the name in the case record, but it appeared in the case of Zhaofu Restaurant? That case was tried by Mr. Yao. Tang Xuan was a spy, and Mr. Yao released it at the beginning. My aunt is the killer. , and even killed Mr. Huo. Madam, think about it, Mr. Huo died in the prefect’s mansion, and the murderer who killed him rescued Mr. Yao. How can we get rid of this matter?”

Meng Jiayue frowned: “My lord, please give me your advice. After all, Lu Zheng testified against you by name. If my lord can clear up his grievances and prove that Lu Zheng is lying, then your lord’s suspicion will naturally be cleared.”

Qian Shixin smiled and said: “Lu Zheng didn’t lie, how will Mr. Yao clear up his grievances?”

Meng Jiayue’s face froze, did Qian Shixin admit in front of her that he was a spy? She exposed him, and he just admitted it? Meng Jiayue’s heart was like a boulder, he had no scruples, naturally he was sure that she would have nothing to do with him. She is afraid of him. And she was indeed afraid of him. She was afraid that he would hurt her son.

“My lord.” Meng Jiayue tried her best to calm down, and the play still had to go on. “I beg you to show us the way. What should we do? How can we save my son? How can we save my lord?”

“Don’t worry, ma’am, I’ll tell you when I think of it.”

Qian Shixin’s calm tone made Meng Jiayue feel that he had already made up his mind, but just like last time, he intentionally hung her up and made her worry about it.

Xue Xuran’s heart was also quite unstable at this time, he stared at An Ruofang: “Say it again, what do you want?”

“I want to go home and honor my mother.”

Xue Xuran couldn’t help knocking on the table: “Little girl, don’t treat me as an inn here, I can come and go whenever I want. When you came back then, your eldest sister begged me, so I let you in because I was soft-hearted. The current situation is dangerous, I’m taking a big risk, not playing child’s games with you.”

“Really?” An Ruofang’s expression was very innocent: “How did my eldest sister beg you?”

Xue Xuran choked.

“Then, how about I beg you now? Second brother-in-law, I really want to go home, and I want to be filial to my mother. Second brother-in-law, please.” An Ruofang’s small face was pitiful, and Xue Xuran’s tone almost raised her eyebrows. not come up.

You girls from the An family are all very good, right? When it is arrogant, it is fierce, but when it is cunning, it is miserable.

Xue Xuran stared at An Ruofang, and said in a serious voice: “In five days, I will marry your second sister.”

An Ruofang nodded hurriedly, and fawned: “Then I can catch up with the wedding wine of the second sister and the second brother-in-law. If I hide here, I won’t be able to drink it. The second sister will also be happy to see me go home. Then the two The marriage between the brother-in-law and the second sister is more joy than joy.”

Xue Xuran was angry: “You were brought up by your elder sister, right? Don’t imitate her. Why don’t you imitate your second elder sister.”

An Ruofang looked sad, the second sister was slapping the table horizontally in an unreasonable manner, not suitable for negotiation.

Xue Xuran didn’t care about An Ruofang’s reaction, and continued: “I’ll make it clear to you, before your eldest sister comes back, or before the situation in the city is clear, I can’t let you go. Otherwise, if something happens to you, how can I tell you? The second sister explained.”

An Ruofang listened obediently. It turned out that she was not explaining to the eldest sister, but to the second sister.

“I won’t mention my second brother-in-law to anyone. I don’t know my second brother-in-law. On October 15th, I thought about my eldest sister being locked up and beaten, and I was about to be married to Qian Pei. I ran to the street. Unexpectedly, I met a man named Fang Zi, who tied me up, hid me in a box, and took me out of the city. I didn’t know where I was taken, so I shouted for help. I rescued them. They traveled along the river with a servant. I was afraid of marrying Qian Pei, so I wanted to delay my return home, so I lied to them. Take it, take me to find a home. At that time, Zhonglan was getting farther and farther away, and I dare not admit that I lied to them.”

An Ruofang spoke in a logical manner, but unexpectedly she spoke in a decent way. What places, what scenery, and what specialties are there along the river, she can even name them all. Later, the hostess fell ill, and she helped take care of it, and lived in a yard all the time. How to decoct the medicine, she can tell what the doctor says. After staying like this for several months, the hostess recovered from her illness. An Ruofang missed her mother, and did not dare to hide it from her benefactor, so she told the truth. The benefactor sent her back to Zhonglan. She was worried about hurting her benefactors, so she only sent them to the gate of the city, and then went home by herself.

Xue Xuran was stunned when he heard this, this is quite comprehensive. “Your sister taught you?”

“My benefactor taught me.” Teacher Zi decided to send her home, in order to prevent her from getting into trouble, the teacher carefully thought out an excuse for her. Little by little, the two of them discussed many details. An Ruofang memorized them all.

An Ruofang said again: “Second brother-in-law, please don’t worry, no one will find out about second brother-in-law. The benefactors and his wife have been kind to me, and they have already left. I will definitely not reveal their whereabouts, and I don’t know their whereabouts. .My experience in the past six months, if someone asks you in detail, I will cry.”

Xue Xuran: “…”

“If my father asks me, I have to ask him too, how did my mother die?” Speaking of her mother’s death, An Ruofang’s eyes turned red. Xue Xuran felt that he was really convinced, and now he was crying with confidence, without flaws.

But Xue Xuran still shook his head: “You think too simply, and you don’t know the situation outside. It’s not your family asking you where you are going. It’s just that there are a lot of bad people in this city. Some people are targeting your eldest sister, and some are targeting your family. Idea. Your eldest sister is also related to the prefect’s family, which also involves the assassination of the imperial court official. Although it has nothing to do with you, but when you return home, there will be an uproar.” With twists and turns, that idiot An Ruoxi will be dragged down.

An Ruofang didn’t speak, and someone was planning on her benefactor. If Mr. Xue didn’t know about it, she didn’t have to tell him.

Xue Xuran looked at her, and said: “This is also the reason why I don’t come to visit you, and I don’t let the people in the house come and walk with you. I hid you with that young master, not because I’m stingy and deliberately make things difficult for you. It’s a safe place It’s hard to find, and the less people you use, the safer you will be. If you are safe, my Xue family will be safe. Do you understand? I took a great risk by taking you in. Although I regret it, but Now that I have done it, I have to take care of everything. I am good to you, to me, to your elder sister and second sister. I have explained the truth to you, do you understand?”

An Ruofang nodded, “Understood. Second brother-in-law’s life-saving grace, I will always remember it in my heart. Don’t worry, second brother-in-law, I will not drag second brother-in-law down. Mr. Yao doesn’t know who second brother-in-law is, he doesn’t know where this is, and I don’t know my identity. If I go home, it won’t affect him or the safety of the Xue family. Besides, it’s not easy for the second brother-in-law and the second sister to meet before marriage. Even after marriage, according to my father’s virtue , I am afraid that the brother-in-law’s family will still be dragged down, and the brother-in-law will always need an internal helper when he settles down.”

Xue Xuran stared, so is this little brat recommending himself now? Internal helper? This child must have been brought up by An Ruochen.

“Second brother-in-law, don’t think I’m a girl, and I’m young, but as long as I put my heart into it, I can definitely accomplish things. I don’t know what’s going on outside, but second brother-in-law knows. Second brother-in-law is more capable, and she must be more thoughtful than me. , the second brother-in-law helped me arrange it and let me go home safely. I will do my best to help the second brother-in-law what the second brother-in-law wants to do in the future. If someone wants to embarrass the second sister and play tricks on the Xue family, I will definitely not agree .”

Xue Xuran suddenly calmed down. “Your mother is living in a difficult home, isn’t it?”

“It’s not easy for wives and concubines to fight, to see people’s faces.” An Ruofang couldn’t help feeling sad when she thought of her mother.

So all the children raised are cunning, is this the truth? Xue Xuran stroked his chin. “What are you going to do?” he asked.

“My eldest sister is married to a general, and she will definitely go to the capital in the future. Although she has a heart, she can’t take care of me too much. My mother is dead, and I have no one to rely on in the An family. I am also a girl, and I have no power in the family. I will be bullied. The second sister treats me well, and the second brother-in-law is also a good person. I have to find someone to rely on in the city.” An Ruofang looked at Xue Xuran’s face and said: “I will help the second brother-in-law guard against An’s greed. Ambitious, protect the second sister. The second brother-in-law will help me gain a firm foothold in Anjia and have a place. How about it?”

The murderer who killed her mother, and the family that used her mother’s death to murder the elder sister, must pay the price. You can’t just let it go, you have to ask for it back.

An Ruofang looked at Xue Xuran eagerly, waiting for his reply.

As the eldest sister said, the second brother-in-law is a bit childish, likes difficult and interesting things, and likes to be relied on by others.

“Second brother-in-law.” An Ruofang called softly. “In this city, I only have you and my second sister as relatives.”

Don’t come here, Xue Xuran looked at her angrily.

“Second sister is the most blessed when we set up a family. I hope to be in her favor. Everything is left to second brother-in-law.” An Ruofang pleaded with her hands together pitifully.

What an annoying child, do you think he doesn’t know about her petty tricks? Xue Xuran responded angrily: “OK.”
