Chapter 171 Pull Down
"No!" Xie Changning had no time to care about Wu at this time. After his elder brother met the emperor, the emperor would definitely let his elder brother go home first and then enter the palace for the banquet in the evening.
Who is the Wu family?
How could the grudges between her and Wu be compared with the safety of the Duke's Mansion?
Lin arranged Lu Qingyu in Fuyun Courtyard.
She didn't ask the old lady any extra questions, but Lu Qingyu took the initiative to mention his identity.
She was just an orphan, without a father or mother. She had been learning medicine from her master since she was young. Two years ago, her master died of illness, leaving her alone. This time at the border, she saved Xie Xingyun's life by chance.
The old lady and Mrs. Lin didn't care at all, they just felt distressed. They thought of Xie Changning's daughter who was living away from home, and felt even more pity for her.
Ruined temple.
As soon as the sun rose, the beggars went out to beg for food.
Only one person was left to guard Shen Jingshu, and it was obvious that they did not intend to let Shen Jingshu leave.
Between having a full meal and having a full meal every time, they chose the latter.
Shen Jingshu had a wooden expression on her face as she lay motionless on the cold ground. It was not that she did not want to move, but that she simply could not move. Her empty eyes were filled with deep hatred.
"Fifth sister!" Shen Zhizhou wanted to go forward to check on Shen Jingshu's condition, but before he could get close, the beggar guarding Shen Jingshu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Our boss said that from now on she is ours. If you dare to come any closer, believe it or not, I will kill you."
Shen Zhizhou paused.
Shen Zhiyan glanced at Shen Jingshu, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "Third brother, forget it, it won't be too late to pick up fifth sister after we find a place to stay first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jingshu, who had not responded, suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, "Oh! Then when are you going to pick me up?"
Shen Zhiyan frowned, "Didn't I already tell you that we'll come pick you up once we find a place to stay?"
Anyone could tell that he was just trying to please Shen Jingshu.
What is Shen Jingshu’s relationship with them now?
Why should they come to pick up Shen Jingshu?
Shen Zhizhou said nothing. His second brother was right. They were already busy taking care of themselves, so how could they take care of their fifth sister?
A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of Shen Jingshu's mouth. Don't think that she doesn't know what kind of people they are. It would be a miracle if she could count on them!
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you to pick me up." She smiled particularly sinisterly. It didn't matter if they didn't come to find her, she would definitely go find them.
Come out of the ruined temple.
Shen Zhizhou asked Shen Zhiyan what he was going to do?
"Let me see if I can find a job first. It doesn't matter what it is, I have to fill my stomach first." Shen Zhiyan laughed at himself. He never thought that he would be reduced to worrying about food.
He had indeed made many friends with Shen Zhizhou before.
If there were someone willing to help, they would have shown up long ago without them even asking.
But what about now?
Does anyone pay attention to them?
I'm afraid everyone will avoid it.
Even if they come to our door, they will only bring shame upon themselves.
He just didn't believe that they would starve to death in such a big capital without the Marquis' Mansion and Xie Changning!
The Ministry of Justice Prison.
Pei Zhi did not sleep all night. He personally interrogated Wu and the others.
Mother Huang always said the same things.
Nothing useful could be obtained from the interrogation of Wei and Xiao.
As for Shen Zhixu, needless to say, he knew very little about what happened back then.
Only Wu refused to say a word after Pei Zhi tortured her. She kept clamoring to see Xie Changning and said that she would regret it if Xie Changning didn't come.
Pei Zhi knew that Wu must not have told everything.
But no matter how he tortured her, Wu refused to speak.
Only then did he send someone to invite Xie Changning.
He was not surprised at all when he heard that Xie Changning refused to come to see Wu.
Today is the day when Xie Xuan and Xie Xingyun return triumphantly.
"Tell someone to continue the interrogation, and remember not to kill the man!" He pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and slowly wiped the blood off his hands. He was also going to the palace to attend the banquet tonight.
In less than half an hour, Xie Xuan and Xie Xingyun returned.
Lin sent them all to take a bath and change clothes.
After one stick of incense.
The brother and sister were in Xie Xuan's study.
Xie Xuan finally asked the question that was on his mind, "Changning, how did you know there were spies in the army?"
Xie Changning had been waiting for him to ask, but instead of answering, she asked, "If I told you that I died once and came back to life, would you believe me, big brother?"
Xie Xuan looked at her intently and took a deep breath. "I believe it!"
Xie Changning knew that her elder brother would definitely believe her, so she told Xie Xuan everything about her past life.
After hearing this, Xie Xuan was silent for a long time. He felt distressed for Xie Changning, as well as shocked and angry about the destruction of the Duke's Mansion.
Yes, how could he not be angry?
In his previous life, he died on the battlefield. After the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, he actually treated the Duke's Mansion like this.
The entire Xie family was executed, leaving no one alive...
"Brother, I know that you never participate in party disputes, and you even disdain to participate in the fights between several princes. But today is different from the past. If you want to protect the Duke's Mansion, there is only one way to choose, and that is to support the prince to ascend to the throne. The prince is kind and will never do such a thing as abandoning the dog after the rabbit is dead." Xie Changning's voice was very soft. Looking at the white hair on her brother's head, her eyes were hot.
My eldest brother has been a soldier all his life, the Duke's Mansion really shouldn't have ended up like that.
"Changning, you've worked hard. I'll listen to you." Xie Xuan looked at Xie Changning intently.
He patted Xie Changning's shoulder gently and said, "As for the two children, don't worry. Big Brother will definitely help you find them."
In the blink of an eye, the lights are on.
Your Majesty will hold a banquet in Taiji Hall tonight to celebrate the victory of Xie Xuan, Xie Xingyun, and a group of soldiers.
In Chaoyun Palace.
The Fourth Prince was talking to Concubine Yun and her son.
"Mother, I originally wanted to use Song Wenjing to get in touch with the Duke's Mansion, but I didn't expect Chen Jingyun to be an imposter. That's fine, but my aunt and Xie Changning are in a very tense relationship. I'm afraid the entire Duke's Mansion will side with the Crown Prince. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. More importantly, I just learned that Pei Zhi is actually the Crown Prince's man. The reason why the Crown Prince was able to escape by chance last time was all thanks to Pei Zhi." The Fourth Prince's face was solemn.
Concubine Yun curled her lips and smiled, "Don't panic, my son. Pei Zhi is nothing to be afraid of. Mother had already laid this hidden plan more than 20 years ago. It's too early to say who he is now."
She paused, an unfathomable smile on her face, "Tonight, mother has prepared a surprise for Duke Zhenguo and Xie Changning respectively. It's a return gift for them. Just wait and see."
Xie Changning married a bastard and gave birth to a bunch of bastards. How can she be considered a marquis' wife?
Tonight, she wanted to pull Xie Changning down from the position of Marquis's wife...
