"Thank you, Princess, for the name."
The boy was pinned to the ground and struggled desperately, but to no avail.
Liu Zaixi stood in front of the young man, not looking down on him, but with an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"You know, everything you did was stupid, both you and Liu Fu are the same."
When the struggling young man heard the words "Liu Mansion", his body suddenly froze and he stopped moving. He looked up at Liu Zai Xi in disbelief.
The young man's lips trembled, but soon, as if relieved, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So what if you know? Kill me if you have the guts."
Liu Zaixi had a blank expression on his face and ignored the words: "Don't you want to save your sister? Or do you think that the people in Liu Mansion will really treat your sister well?"
When he heard the word "sister", the boy's original arrogance disappeared and turned into a daze, especially when he heard the word "treat well", there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Liu Zaixi squatted down and looked directly into the boy's eyes: "If the Liu family dares to send you to poison me today, they will dare to poison your sister tomorrow."
The boy's tense nerves were constantly stimulated, and his defenses were gradually broken down, bringing him to the brink of collapse.
The next second, the boy suddenly pounced on Liu Zaixi and tried to strangle her neck, but fortunately Qiu Wuji pulled him away.
"You guys are all the same, all the same! We just want to live a good life! Is that wrong?"
"That's right, but unfortunately you chose the wrong person and a faction that is extremely evil. That's a mistake."
"Do you know that I was once the daughter of the Liu family? Do you know how they treated me?"
Obviously, the boy didn't know that the two groups had such a relationship. Family members framing family members was something he had never experienced before.
"I was bullied by them for more than ten years and was forced to jump into the river. Do you think such people would treat anyone kindly?"
The boy's expression began to become nervous and panicked, and he couldn't even finish a sentence: "Why should I, why should I believe you?"
Liu Zai Xi is still very confident about his reputation.
"I can let you go out and ask around right now. Just ask the diners who used to come to my restaurant and you'll know everything."
Finally, the boy stopped struggling, fell to his knees on the ground, exhausted, and sobbed.
"Please, please save my sister. I was the one who poisoned her. It was the Liu family who told me to do it. As long as you can save my sister, I will do whatever you want with me."
Liu Zai Xi sighed deeply. This man was not a bad person, but he was forced into a desperate situation. He had no choice but to embark on a path of no return.
"I can save your sister, but you have to tell the truth about the Liu Mansion in court. Then I will hand you over to the families of those you killed. Are you prepared for this?"
Hearing that his sister could be saved, the boy's hope was rekindled and he quickly agreed: "I promise, I've already said, as long as you can rescue my sister, I will do anything."
The matter came to an end, and the boy was escorted away by Qiu Wuji. Before leaving, Liu Zaixi asked, "What's your name?"
The boy shook his head: "We have no father, no mother, and no name. They all call me a pickpocket."
Liu Zaixi's mouth twitched: "This name is too ugly. Change it to... Jing'an, and your sister's name will be Jingshu."
Quiet and peaceful, I hope your future life will be like this.
Jing'an was taken away while muttering his own name.
When no one was around, Qiu Wuji asked, "How do you know it wasn't his intention?"
Liu Zaixi said without hesitation: "Intuition tells me that he doesn't give the impression of being someone who is greedy for money and will do anything to get it."
Qiu Wuji touched Liu Zaixi's head and asked, "What do you want to do next?"
Liu Zaixi giggled and hugged Qiu Wuji: "Don't I have a great husband?"
This praise was very useful to her. In fact, as long as Liu Zaixi gave the order, he would go through fire and water to bring back what she wanted.
The most troublesome thing at the moment will be solved soon. Liu Zai Xi is in a good mood. Qiu Wu Ji has a smile on his face, revealing a gentleness that others cannot see. This is unique to Liu Zai Xi.
"Xi'er seems to be good at solving these troublesome things."
Liu Zaixi waved his hand, a little disdainful: "I can't say I'm good at it, it just happened to be a professional match."
The trick played by Jiang Zhiyi and Liu Fu was simply the lowest-level frame-up in the novel, and it could be rectified without any effort. Perhaps Jiang Zhiyi lost because he had never read the novel or had never encountered a more advanced opponent.
The task of rescuing the hostages was naturally given to Han Yi, and Han Yi lived up to expectations and quickly found the girl who was being guarded in a house in the suburbs. The girl was very scared when she saw Han Yi at first. One day, she was walking on the road and met a man who said that if she followed him, she would have food. When Jing Shu heard about the food, she thought that her brother would be very happy if she could bring back food. Since she had been hungry for too long, she followed the man. However, there was no food as she imagined. There was only endless darkness. The hut was closed all around and no light could penetrate. A few steamed buns were thrown in every day, but Jing Shu did not eat them and wanted to leave them for her brother.
After Hanyi dealt with the minions outside and entered the house, he saw the girl holding a few steamed buns in her arms, asking Hanyi to give them to her brother. Hanyi couldn't help but feel sorry for the innocent girl in front of him. In order to leave some food for her brother, she ate very little. Didn't she know that people can starve to death?
Han Yi brought the girl back to the palace. Jing'an saw that his sister was unconscious due to hunger and only left a few steamed buns for him. He immediately realized that the Liu family had no intention of treating Jingshu well. Everything was just for their plan. What did their lives mean in the eyes of these powerful people?
After settling Jingshu down, Jingan knelt down in front of Liu Zaixi and the other one.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, for saving my sister. Jing'an will remember this kindness for the rest of her life. I am willing to speak out against the Liu family's crimes in court. Afterwards, I will bear the consequences of my mistakes myself."
Wrong is wrong. Liu Zai Xi feels sorry for the two siblings, but those diners are also innocent. Everything has cause and effect. All Liu Zai Xi can do is hand Jing'an over to those families and see what they want.
The sky was gloomy that day, with thick clouds covering half the sky, and a gloomy atmosphere was everywhere.
A group of people crowded outside the yamen. Everyone wanted to see who had the guts to poison Princess Heng's shop. Jing'an had always been under the supervision of Princess Heng's Mansion. Before going to court, Jing'an asked to see Liu Zaixi.
"Princess, I don't know what my fate will be. I will probably die, but my sister is innocent. She was implicated by me. I am a worthless person, but I want to ask you for a favor."
Liu Zai Xi had actually agreed in his heart.
"you say."
"Please, Princess, please let my sister be a maid in the palace. As long as she can have enough food and warm clothes, that will be enough."
"good."
Agreed decisively.
Jing'an shed tears, feeling regretful and resentful. She regretted meeting the wrong person and blamed God for not protecting her.
When the diners' families saw Jing'an, they were so emotional that they wanted to tear his tendons and skin him alive, but no matter what, the one who left would not come back.
So this is also the reason why Jing'an is so sinful.
"Jing'an, do you admit your guilt?"
"Acknowledge the guilt."
"But someone instructed you to reveal the person behind this. Your sins can be mitigated."
"yes……"
In an instant, a man rushed out from the spectators nearby! He was holding a dagger, as if he had been trained. In an instant, the dagger pierced Jing'an's heart. Jing'an groaned and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Liu Zai Xi subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was held back by Xiao Zhu who was standing beside him. Liu Mubai stepped forward to stop the man, but the next second, the man vomited black blood, his eyes rolled back, and he died on the spot.
The danger was gone, Xiao Zhu finally let go of Liu Zai Xi. Liu Zai Xi rushed forward and helped Jing An up from the ground.
Liu Zai Xi's hands were shaking and he couldn't utter a word, but Jing An endured the pain and said something. After hearing that, Liu Zai Xi burst into tears and laughter.
"Thank you, Princess, for the name."
Thank you, Princess, for giving me the name. It’s just a name, but I’m grateful for it. It’s that simple.
Some people use up all their energy just to stay alive.
Those who kill are dead, no matter if they are good or bad, if they have gone astray or have turned back, it is all over.
In the evening, Qiu Wuji returned.
At that time, Liu Zai Xi was sitting in the yard in a daze. Qiu Wuji had heard about the affairs of the yamen. He knew that Liu Zai Xi would definitely not let it go. They had only been in contact for a few days, but he had already regarded Liu Zai Xi as a friend or even a relative. This was probably because he had a very good ability to empathize with people.
Qiu Wuji walked over and stood beside Liu Zaixi. Liu Zaixi saw the shadow looking up and said helplessly: "You're back."
Putting his palm on Liu Zaixi's drooping head, Qiu Wuji said: "Do you want to cry?"
"Oh, I'm not that weak. I just feel a little sad. There are so many sufferings in the world, but I just can't bear to see them."
"But I've never heard of a slum in the capital. The people there are probably struggling."
Qiu Wuji lowered his eyelashes. The slums did not exist originally, but were eaten away bit by bit by Jiang Zhiyi.
The capital city was indeed prosperous in the past. Ever since Jiang Zhiyi gained such great favor, Qiu Sheng had been held in Jiang Zhiyi's hand like a puppet. If it weren't for Qiu Wuji, Jiang Zhiyi would have taken away far more than that. However, Jiang Zhiyi might soon be unable to sit still.
What Liu Zai Xi is worried about now is how to tell Jingshu about this matter. Since she likes her brother so much, how will she react?
Jingshu is now placed in the prince's palace as a little maid. In fact, she is just playing around. After all, she is young, so she is only assigned some light work.
It was time for the maids to rest. Little Jingshu was sitting outside in her thin inner clothes, watching the stars. Liu Zaixi couldn't sleep and came out for a walk, but he didn't expect to end up here.
It has to be known sooner or later. Liu Zai Xi doesn't want to hide it from Jing Shu. She should know and take responsibility.
Jingshu saw Liu Zaixi first and waved from a distance. Liu Zaixi walked over slowly and gave Jingshu his cloak. "It's cold, don't go out wearing such thin clothes."
Jingshu nodded. It was so dark at night, but Liu Zaixi felt that those eyes were very bright.
"Why are you here, sister Princess?"
Liu Zaixi took a deep breath and said, "I came here to tell you something."
With big confusion in her small eyes, Jingshu tilted her head and looked at Liu Zaixi.
"Jingshu, your brother... has gone to heaven." This was the best explanation Liu Zaixi could think of.
"What is Heaven?"
“It’s where the dead go.”
Jingshu understood what Liu Zaixi meant. At this age, Jingshu already knew what death was.
Tears flowed down her cheeks. Liu Zai Xi knew the situation would turn out like this, but she still didn't want to hide it.
Jingshu cried quietly for a while, and Jingshu asked, "Heaven, is that place good?"
Liu Zaixi was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's great. It's a place with endless food, fun things to do, and lots of friends."
Jingshu smiled and said, "My brother is so lucky. Can I find him after I die?"
"Yes, your brother will always be there waiting for you. When you grow old and go to heaven, we can continue to be a family."
Hearing this, Jingshu wiped the tears from her face and smiled.
In the next life, we will still be a family.
