Chapter 298 It's her father
A man walked onto the bridge and suddenly pushed Daya.
Caught off guard, Da Ya was pushed and stumbled, falling into the water.
Before Daya fell, Chu Xiujie picked her up by the waist, grabbed the edge of the bridge, and jumped up, kicking the man in the knee.
"You're asking for it! Tell me, who sent you?"
The man screamed, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at Daya. "If you don't want to live, then die! All women deserve to die, they all deserve to die! Just die!"
"I have no grudge against you, why did you push me?" Daya calmed herself down and got out of Chu Xiujie's arms.
"Women deserve to die! Hahaha!"
Chu Xiujie summoned the men who had been following him from the shadows, and ordered, "Send them to the authorities and find out what really happened."
The man confessed quickly after being taken in. It turned out he was a good-for-nothing. After getting married, he ignored his wife's mistreatment by his parents and blamed her for everything. His wife couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide.
He insisted that his wife had done something wrong to him, and since he said it himself, the neighbors all laughed at him, calling him a cuckolded bastard.
He started to hate women, and he acted impulsively because he had been drinking.
Chu Xiujie didn't care whether he acted impulsively or not; sending someone to do hard labor was a crime of intentional homicide.
"That's outrageous."
Daya was utterly astonished by this reason.
“A woman married him, bore him children, and in the end, his family couldn’t bear it and she committed suicide by jumping into the river, and she still has to bear such a stigma.”
"It's always too hard for women in this world."
Da Ya originally thought that such things wouldn't happen in such a bustling place, but they still did.
She could read countless books, but she couldn't care less about the suffering of women in this world.
"And you, what kind of woman do you want to become in the future?" Chu Xiujie looked at her with some curiosity.
"If I could, I would want to be a man, but I was born a woman. I wish I could be like my mother."
Chu Xiujie laughed upon hearing this, "The three of you all resemble your mother, and you definitely will in the future."
"Lord Chu, thank you for saving me today." Daya looked at Chu Xiujie.
She was indeed startled for a moment, but thankfully she didn't fall into the water.
If I fall into the water, my mother will definitely worry if she finds out.
"Just a verbal thank you? That's it?" Chu Xiujie chuckled.
Daya chuckled, "I'll cook when I get back. Remember to come, Lord Chu."
Chu Xiujie rubbed his nose. He really had no conscience when it came to getting a bite to eat.
Even a little girl with such a small face can be coaxed.
After this incident, Daya didn't go to the academy; she came back earlier.
After carefully escorting the person back to the courtyard and asking what they wanted to eat for the afternoon, Chu Xiujie had barely returned when a servant came to ask for instructions.
"Sir, the An family is still waiting in the side courtyard, look here..."
"Damn, these old bastards, they didn't leave?" Chu Xiujie was stunned.
I looked up at the sky. Had I been sitting in the yard all day?
I thought that leaving them hanging would make them leave, but it didn't work.
"Judging from this, they don't seem like they can be easily dealt with," Chu Xiujie muttered.
The servant asked, "Sir, what do you think of this..."
"What's the rush? Go and tell them that General Lin is ill, and I can't even see him. We can't bother our busy General Lin with such trivial matters."
Chu Xiujie waved his hand.
"Let them ask for help gradually, and we must have the attitude of asking for help ourselves."
...
...
“Mother, remember this when you go back: we are not the same as before. When you ask someone for help, you should have the right attitude.”
Tao Mingzhu gave Ke Xinrui some instructions inside the carriage.
Ke Xinrui framed her own parents for the sake of the Tao family.
Now that I hear my parents have regained power and returned, I'll be looked down upon if I don't have money.
"I know, your mother isn't stupid. It's just that life has been too smooth sailing these past few years. I also had my reasons for what happened back then."
Ke Xinrui looked at her fingernails casually.
After all, she was her only daughter; if her parents didn't love her, who else would they love?
She can just go back and cry a couple of times.
"Madam, we've reached Jingzhou ahead," the coachman's voice rang out from outside.
Ke Xinrui said, "Let's go to Jingzhou City first. I'm exhausted from the journey. Let's rest for a couple of days before heading to the capital."
To get to the capital, you have to pass through Jingzhou City. This is to let the driver go directly to the inn.
"From Jiangnan? There's something wrong with your travel permit. How did you get here?" The soldier guarding the city gate frowned as he looked at the travel permit.
Why were people from Jiangnan allowed to come over?
"How dare you! Don't you know who we are? How dare you stop our carriage?" Ke Xinrui scolded from inside the carriage, without showing her face.
Tao Mingzhu said, "Mother, don't get angry. Ask what happened."
When the soldier saw the young girl getting off, he was quite polite. "Miss, it's not that we're stopping you on purpose, but the situation is tense right now. If we let a spy in, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
"My father is the great scholar Fang, how could I possibly be a spy!"
Ke Xinrui has a bad temper and abruptly lifted the car curtain.
She just wanted to find a place to rest as soon as possible; she had been away from Beijing for seven or eight years.
Right now, I desperately want to go back.
"This..." The soldier hesitated for a moment, and someone next to him pulled him up.
"Go and report this quickly."
Fang Daru is indeed in the capital, but I haven't heard of him having a daughter.
"Please wait here, Madam. Our men have already gone to deliver the message."
Another person spoke up.
Tao Mingzhu was curious, "I didn't expect Jingzhou City to be so strictly managed."
The process has been so strict all along, but because of his maternal grandfather's status, there are always people who make things easier for him.
"These are all new laws, please don't be angry, Miss."
"How long are we supposed to wait here? Are we supposed to keep waiting for you to send back messages?" Ke Xinrui had lost her patience.
When did it become so troublesome to even enter the city?
"No need for that. We should ask Madam Ye first. If there are no problems, then we can go."
"Madam Ye? Who is this? How can a woman have so much power?" Ke Xinrui became interested.
She had never heard of him before.
Tao Mingzhu handed over a piece of silver.
The soldier declined twice before accepting it, then lowered his voice and said, "Madam Ye is a fairy in the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. The people can eat their fill because of her. She represents the Prince's will in Jingzhou."
"That sounds pretty impressive."
Ke Xinrui frowned.
How could a woman wield such power? Could it be that she has a close relationship with Prince Jing?
The messenger went to the Lin residence but couldn't find Ye Wan; she was currently at the Huajian Pastry Shop.
Ye Hua examined Xiao Bao's features and indeed found a mole on his leg and a faint mole on the sole of his foot.
"Madam Ye, you may take our lives if you wish. Rest assured, we are utterly loyal to the Second Miss."
The elderly couple, Manager Chen and his wife, cried until their voices became hoarse.
I never imagined that my grandson, who had been missing for so long, would be right under my nose. Fortunately, I found him and he's grown up and is quite chubby.
"Get up quickly, it's a good thing for the family to be reunited." Ye Wan felt a little sad and didn't let Manager Chen bow.
"Xiao Bao, come and kowtow to your benefactor."
Manager Chen pulled Xiao Bao and tried to make him kneel down.
Ye Wan pulled and pulled, and finally managed to stop the person.
"That's great, Xiao Bao has finally found his family." The other children were very envious.
Ye Wan said, "If you have any clues, you can tell me. I will try my best to find them."
Just then, the soldiers guarding the city arrived.
"What did you say? Fang Daru is her father?"
