As soon as Xie Yunjiao stepped out of the cell door, she felt the light around her was extremely dazzling. She almost couldn't open her eyes and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her eyes.
It took me a while to get used to it.
Suddenly, she felt something heavy on her body and someone hugged her legs tightly.
She was delighted and looked down to see Doudou, the person she had been thinking about.
She whispered happily, "Doudou."
Doudou looked up at Xie Yunjiao happily, "Mom, I'm sorry I rescued you so late."
Xie Yunjiao pushed Doudou away: "Stay away from mother. Mother hasn't taken a bath in a long time. She stinks."
Doudou refused, so he rushed over again and clung to Xie Yunjiao: "It doesn't stink, mother always smells good."
Doudou stretched out his hands again and asked Xie Yunjiao to hold him. Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to pick him up.
He smiled happily in Xie Yunjiao's arms.
Lord Shen looked at Doudou who was acting coquettishly with her mother in front of him, and he could not believe that the man who was so decisive and ruthless that forced Magistrate Ma to be speechless was the same person in front of him!
If he had seen Doudou at this moment, he would never have believed that such a child was one of the disciples of Lord Xu of the Hanlin Academy.
However, after this battle, he believed in Lord Xu's vision.
This child is not only good at painting, but also very talented. The articles he wrote are full of unique insights that make even adults feel inferior to him.
The senior brother beside him was also a very capable person. He had reviewed countless papers, but there had never been a time like this when he was unable to judge who was better between the two of them.
He discussed with his colleagues and finally decided to let them both be the top scorer, creating the first time in history that there were two top scorers.
He believed that these two would perform well in the next spring examination.
"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your great help." Xie Yunjiao bowed to Lord Shen in thanks.
Lord Shen waved his hand: "It's just a small favor."
County Magistrate Ma laughed dryly, feeling as if a huge rock was blocking his heart and making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Madam Gu, I..." County Magistrate Ma thought for a moment, walked forward, and forced a flattering smile on his face.
Xie Yunjiao glanced at Magistrate Ma indifferently and said, "Magistrate Ma, you don't have to say more. I have a good memory. I will remember the kindness others show me. Of course, I will also remember the bad things others do to me."
County Magistrate Ma shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat.
Is Xie Yunjiao planning to settle the score later? He thinks this is the possibility!
He was not afraid of Xie Yunjiao, nor was he afraid of Xie Yunjiao's son. He was just a top scholar, in other words, a scholar without an official position, so naturally, no one could show off his power in front of him.
What he was afraid of was Lord Shen, who was a high-ranking official of the fifth rank.
And he was a minor official of the seventh rank.
As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. Moreover, Lord Shen’s official position is four levels higher than his. How could he not be afraid?
When Xie Yunjiao saw County Magistrate Ma trembling, she naturally did not think that she was so great, but she knew very well that all this was the credit of Lord Shen.
She couldn't be too drastic, lest she really offend County Magistrate Ma, and her future life would be difficult.
"Of course, Lord Ma treated me well. He put me in the best cell and always asked about my well-being. My prison isn't too bad after all."
Magistrate Ma's clothes were soaked with sweat.
Damn it, Xie Yunjiao was really good at speaking in a sarcastic way, which made him nervous.
If he knew that Xie Yunjiao had other backers besides Ye Baien, he naturally would not dare to help Gu Lan deal with Xie Yunjiao!
"Mrs. Gu, you are so polite. How can going to jail be considered a good thing? It is my fault that it took me so long to find out the truth. I am sorry for the trouble you have suffered." County Magistrate Ma said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xie Yunjiao continued, "Master Ma, you are such a joker. How could I possibly be bothered by that? I also want to thank you for always asking about my family's well-being and for helping me look after my business. Thank you so much."
And he said, are you going to let people live?
"I dare not, I dare not. I will immediately ask someone to unseal Qinyuanfang for you. Don't worry, everything inside is fine." said County Magistrate Ma.
Of course, he didn't dare to destroy it wantonly. After all, he was still quite afraid of Ye Baien.
He was very glad that he didn't do anything ruthless because he was afraid of Ye Baien, otherwise there would be a big problem now!
"Then I would like to thank Lord Ma first." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Sure, sure."
After watching Xie Yunjiao, Doudou and the others walk away, County Magistrate Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief. His legs went weak and he almost fell down.
Damn it, he was really badly hurt by the prince’s woman.
***
Gu Lan dressed up and came to Zhao Qian's house, but the gatekeeper saw her but did not open the door to let her in.
Gu Lan was very annoyed. I'm not dead yet, so you just treat me as if I don't exist?
Believe it or not, she will serve Master Zhao well and then come back to settle accounts with these people one by one.
"Get out of the way." Gu Lan said unhappily.
"Miss Gu, you can't go in without the master's permission." Zhao Qian's subordinate said coldly.
"Okay, since when do I need Mr. Zhao's permission before entering?" Gu Lan shouted.
"Of course it started when you went crazy," He Cuihua walked to her side. All the people who served her before followed her, their hands full of bags. "Do you still think you are the Gu Lan from before? The doctor told the young master that your health is seriously damaged. In the future, let alone giving birth to children, it will be difficult for you to even live longer.
Now you are nothing but trash to me, you are of no use at all."
After saying this, He Cuihua smiled proudly.
Gu Lan stared at He Cuihua intently, her silver teeth almost breaking, and her ten fingers dug deep into her palms, almost poking them through.
"He Cuihua, I treated you as a sister and brought you to the young master, and this is how you treat me? You're still talking nonsense in front of me, do you think I will believe you?
You are an ungrateful wolf who repays kindness with enmity!"
He Cuihua said, "Gu Lan, what were your intentions when you took me in? Do you think I don't know? I know all the dirty things you did.
If I didn't care about our old friendship, I wouldn't have told you those things. Now that you know the truth, you should get out of here, or else the young master won't be polite to you."
He Cuihua gave a wink and had Gu Lan picked up and thrown out into the street.
Gu Lan was lying on the ground, her newly changed clothes were all soiled, and she looked as shabby as a beggar.
Suddenly, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes, as if someone was coming in front of her. She raised her head and saw that it was Xie Yunjiao!
"Are you satisfied to see me in such a miserable state?" Gu Lan vented all her anger on Xie Yunjiao.
Xie Yunjiao smiled: "You brought this upon yourself, it has nothing to do with me. But seeing you in such a miserable state, it actually makes me feel happy."
