“The princess saved our whole family. The princess is so righteous. Our Liu family has no way to repay her. We will repay her even if we have to be her slaves in our next life.”
"If it weren't for the princess, our whole family would probably be dead without a burial place. The princess is a living Bodhisattva, a compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."
They spoke while wiping away tears, deeply grateful.
The Qiao family members quickly went outside and helped the family up.
"Don't mention it, it's nothing at all. Our Lian'er is a general, protecting our country. How could he sit idly by when the people are in trouble?" Old Mrs. Qiao said, holding the hand of the eighty-year-old woman.
Now that you've resolved this crisis, live your lives well, relax, and don't overthink it.
The family brought eggs, fresh bamboo shoots dug from the mountain, a rooster they raised themselves, cured lean meat sausages, and glutinous rice cakes, insisting on giving them to the Qiao family, otherwise they would not leave.
Seeing that they couldn't refuse their hospitality, the Qiao family reluctantly accepted the gift and then politely saw them off.
Du Qinglan stood in the Qiao family's house, clutching the handkerchief in her hand tightly, a look of struggle and hesitation on her face.
The wish she wanted to fulfill was something Qiao Lian'er could also achieve, but she had been by that person's side for several years without making any progress.
No, what if Qiao Lian'er is acting? What if she's guessed something?
Thinking this, Du Qinglan's heart tightened.
She suspected that this family was hired by Qiao Lian'er to put on an act. No, she had to investigate thoroughly first.
The next day, Du Qinglan began to take action.
She contacted the neighbor of the family she was talking to and asked them about what had happened yesterday, and it was true.
Then they went to the street government offices; every main street in the capital had a government office.
However, since there was nothing else to do, Du Qinglan couldn't get in, so she slipped a silver ingot to the guard at the gate.
The constable glanced around, quickly stuffed the silver into his sleeve, and then straightened up as if nothing had happened, lowering his voice.
"Indeed, we almost arrested the wrong person. It was Master who made a mistake. Fortunately, Princess Feiluan happened to pass by and cleared that family's name. Otherwise, if our Master had made a mistake right from the start, it would have been hard to say what would have happened in the future."
Du Qinglan left this place.
It seems this was just a coincidence.
But this also shows that Qiao Lian'er has this ability.
Du Qinglan shook her head again. Her family's affairs involved a high-ranking official of the third rank who was accused of treason. Apart from the prince favored by the emperor, who else could help her?
The family that Qiao Lian'er encountered was nothing compared to her own experience; they were simply insignificant.
She watched the twilight descend, squinted, and looked on with a sense of desolation and bewilderment.
Qiao Lian'er performed this play not to win over Du Qinglan.
Instead, we need to judge her reaction based on similar experiences to prove our guess.
Sure enough, no matter how good Du Qinglan's acting was, she still lost her composure a bit, which meant that it had struck a chord with her.
She was eager to clear her family's name and exonerate them from their grievances.
The cause and effect are both clear and unambiguous.
A cold smile appeared on Qiao Lian'er's lips. Now, it was time to see what Du Qinglan would do.
