"Ah." Shang Yangyang thought about it, then quickly put the candy back into his mouth, his face full of satisfaction.
Jiang Peixuan was amused by Shang Yangyang's cute look and temporarily put aside his unhappiness. "Then Shang Yangyang, are you not angry anymore?"
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously.
"It's good that you're not angry. Shang Yangyang, do you also live in Dali Temple?"
"No."
"Then why did you come to Dali Temple?"
Shang Yangyang wanted to tell Jiang Peixuan what had happened. She also wanted to tell him the gossip she knew, but she couldn't speak clearly because of her unclear speech.
Jiang Peixuan: "Shang Yangyang, stop talking. Where are your family members?"
After hearing what Jiang Peixuan said, Shang Yangyang remembered her second brother who came with her.
"Erguo~" Shang Yangyang pointed anxiously outside the Dali Temple.
Jiang Peixuan looked in the direction Shang Yangyang pointed, and he knew why Shang Yangyang came.
He thought that the man who was taken to the main hall for interrogation should be Shang Yangyang's second brother. Shang Yangyang also came to the Dali Temple because of her second brother.
But looking at the situation in the main hall, he knew that Shang Yangyang's second brother had indeed committed a crime, and the people in the Dali Temple would not let Shang Yangyang's second brother go.
Jiang Peixuan knew the pain of losing a loved one, and he stared at Shang Yangyang with worry.
Shang Yangyang's face was filled with worry at this moment. [Why didn't Second Brother follow me closely? What if I got lost and was captured by the people from Longhu Mountain?]
Jiang Peixuan caught the change in Shang Yangyang's expression, and now he was more certain of his guess.
He walked forward and hugged Shang Yangyang tightly. He wanted to be like his mother and hug her and give her some comfort when Shang Yangyang was sad.
Jiang Peixuan hugged Shang Yangyang. "Don't be sad, Shang Yangyang. I can protect you in the future."
Just as Jiang Peixuan finished speaking, a roar came from a distance: "Let go of my sister."
Shang Yangyang and Jiang Peixuan both looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Shang Qingan, who was full of anger, running over with his men.
Shang Yangyang: "Second pot~"
Jiang Peixuan was stunned. "Shang Yangyang is your second brother?"
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously. [He is my second brother.]
"Who was the person arrested in the main hall?"
Shang Yangyang blinked her big eyes. "Huh?"
Shang Yanqing ran up and hugged Shang Yangyang in his arms.
"Did Yangyang bully you? Wait for your second brother to help you teach him a lesson." As he said this, Shang Qing'an put Shang Yangyang down and was about to go forward to hit Jiang Peixuan.
"Erguo." Shang Yangyang became more and more anxious and couldn't speak. She could only step forward, hold Shang Qingan's hand, and shake her head at Shang Qingan.
Suddenly, Shang Qingan's eyes were filled with hurt.
"Yangyang, you are still young, how come you were deceived by this brat in such a short while?"
"Huh?" Shang Yangyang's little head was full of doubts?
[I haven't seen my second brother for a while. Is his brain damaged? ]
"..." When Shang Qing'an heard Shang Yangyang's inner voice, he frowned. His little sister, this...
Jiang Peixuan stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
Shang Yangyang was the first one to give up thinking among the three. "What are you going to sue?"
Jiang Peixuan: "Ah?"
Shang Qingan translated helplessly: "My sister asked what your name is?"
Jiang Peixuan then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he quickly said, "My name is Jiang Peixuan."
Shang Yangyang nodded. "Queen of Mud..."
Jiang Peixuan looked at Shang Qingan for help again.
Shang Qingan didn't want to help translate at all, but he couldn't stand Shang Yangyang's gaze attack, so he had to say: "Do you live in Dali Temple?"
"Well, I'm staying at Dali Temple for now."
"even...."
Shang Qingan continued to translate: "Can I come and play with you later?"
Jiang Peixuan nodded vigorously with a look of joy on his face. "Okay."
Shang Qing'an, the old father, is really heartbroken.
Shang Yangyang smiled and stepped forward and stretched out his hand. "Pink."
Jiang Peixuan understood what was said, and he readily reached out and shook hands with Shang Yangyang.
Shang Qingan’s inner thoughts: My little sister, can you please change this habit of making pinky promises with anyone? And why do you have to play with this brat?
Shang Yangyang smiled happily, and she pulled Jiang Peixuan aside to talk for a while. (It was Shang Qingan who helped translate, which allowed the two to chat so smoothly.)
Shang Qingan couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Yangyang, it's time to eat. We should go back."
After Shang Qing'an said this, Shang Yangyang indeed felt hungry. After saying goodbye to Jiang Peixuan, she was carried away by Shang Qing'an.
Shang Yangyang lay on Shang Qingan's shoulder and kept waving at Jiang Peixuan.
Jiang Peixuan also imitated Shang Yangyang and waved his hands. He stood there and did not leave until he could no longer see the two people's backs.
"I have friends too." Jiang Peixuan's little face was full of joyful smiles.
In the main hall of the Dali Temple, Lin Chuan confessed that he poisoned Madam Li because he was resentful that Minister Li did not help him arrange a position in the court.
He would wait until the poison took its toll on him and then he could repay the favor by asking Minister Li to help him arrange a job.
After hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, Li Nanzhou knew that he would not reveal the person behind the scenes even if he asked him again. He was afraid of alerting the enemy so he did not pursue the matter.
Wang Sicheng took the interrogation record and asked Lin Chuan to sign it.
Liu Quan also wrote down the officials that Lin Chuan had confessed to, and put them all in the Dali Temple's prison to await processing.
Today's case has come to a temporary end.
But when the night was dark and windy, and the crescent moon was hanging high in the sky, news came from the Dali Temple's prison: Lin Chuan committed suicide by cutting his wrists in prison. He smashed the porcelain bowl he used to drink water and cut his wrists with the fragments.
Inside the Prince Kang's Palace
Lu Mubai held the list of officials arrested today, his eyes full of anger. "How come so many people are involved again?" Lu Mubai slammed the list on the table.
Wang Liang stammered, "Lord, Lin Chuan secretly colluded with many officials. Some of them died before he could speak out. Otherwise, more people would have been exposed."
"Who gave him the courage to collude with so many officials?" Lu Mubai was furious. Although the officials that Lin Chuan colluded with did not hold high positions, there were many people he had planted among them, and many people he planned to capture.
Lu Mubai took a few deep breaths and sat back in his chair. "I've definitely been unlucky lately. Why am I so unlucky?"
Lu Mubai leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When he opened his eyes, his gaze became sharp.
Wang Liang was frightened by this look and trembled.
Then Lu Mubai said in a low voice: "Wang Liang, tell Li Taishi that the position of Minister of War must be mine."
"Yes." Wang Liang took the order and left Prince Kang's Mansion.
After Wang Liang left, Lu Mubai stood up and turned the vase on the bookcase behind him. The secret door behind the bookcase opened with a creak.
Lu Mubai walked along the secret passage and entered a very spacious room. Two huge night-shining pearls were placed here. The room was as bright as day.
