Madam Chi also wanted to know.
"It feels somewhat similar."
"Mother, didn't you go after them and ask?" Chi Ling'er asked excitedly.
Old Madam Chi looked at her suspiciously:
"Ling'er, are you very concerned about that person?"
"No, Mother, I just want to find out who that woman is when I have time."
Chi Ling'er knew that the person must be Yun Niang, her name here.
Yunniang doesn't recognize her now, and she doesn't know what happened in between, but this is a good thing.
However, Yunniang is not easy to talk to now. If it weren't for her daughter, she would want to go back to the capital right now.
or……
Nowadays, Sixiu Pavilion's business is not as good as before.
Chi Ling'er knew that her parents blamed her; they had always wanted Chi Qiao'er to take over the business. Coupled with their years of guilt, if they were to truly acknowledge each other, would she even have a chance to survive?
Chi Ling'er's eyes turned cold. She needed to send the two old men back first.
"Mother, you should go back first. Han Luoxue and the others are too rude. If they offend you, your daughter will be heartbroken."
"Ling'er, your mother and I came here for Qingqing. Let's go together when Qingqing comes out."
Old Master Chi was also in a bad mood. He had just realized that his daughter really knew about Qiao'er, but she just wasn't telling them.
They said they'd already made things so clear, yet she still wanted to hide it; they didn't know what her daughter was thinking.
I felt very disappointed.
"But... Father, look at the injuries I've sustained. What if they attack you?"
"No, I'll just see them less often."
"Old Master Chi said in a low voice," Chi Ling'er frowned unhappily, but she couldn't just pack the person up and send them back.
However, things soon took a turn for the better.
Yingchun arrived, bringing with her a letter from the Crown Princess, saying she wanted to bring the person to the capital for trial. After confirming the Crown Prince's seal was affixed, Wen Aixue hesitated for a moment.
"Lord Wen, this is the Crown Prince's will. Are you sure you don't want to listen?"
Yingchun said arrogantly, and Wen Aixue dared not disobey. He was just an acting magistrate, and the Crown Prince could crush him with a single finger.
"This humble official dares not. This humble official will have someone bring them out immediately."
"No need, I'll go myself."
Yingchun, accompanied by two guards, walked away with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
The conditions in the dungeon must have been terrible. Although there weren't many people imprisoned there, and not many guards either, the smell was naturally quite unpleasant because it was underground.
"What are these smells?"
Yingchun covered her nose, and Wen Aixue, following behind, quickly explained:
"Girl, there's a bit of a smell here."
Is it still far away?
Yingchun, however, had little patience. She looked at the long corridor; it was her first time in such a place.
"It's just ahead."
When they arrived at the detention center, they saw two people huddled in a corner, one on each side, their heads bowed, not responding to footsteps outside.
Yingchun frowned: "Have they gone mad?"
"who?"
Chi Qingqing was the first to realize that she had eaten and had some energy.
"Oh dear, Chi Qingqing, what happened to you?"
Yingchun recognized Chi Qingqing. She looked at the disheveled Chi Qingqing in surprise. Her clothes were filthy and unrecognizable, her hair looked like a tangled mess, and her face was covered in grime.
How does this woman, dressed in such luxurious clothes, resemble the one from a few days ago?
"yes……"
Just as Chi Qingqing was about to ask if it was the Crown Princess who had sent her to rescue her, Yingchun stopped her, saying, "Come with me!"
A jailer went over and opened the cell door. Chi Qingqing stood up, wanting to leave, but her legs were weak.
Yu Xiaoxiao, on the other side, fared even worse. Hearing the sound, she looked up, her small face noticeably thinner, making her eyes appear even larger.
Upon seeing Yingchun, Yu Xiaoxiao excitedly tried to get up, but unfortunately she was too weak and felt dizzy before she could even stand up. Luckily, there was a wall behind her, otherwise she would have fallen flat on her face.
"You can leave now!"
Hearing this, both of their eyes welled up with tears. They never imagined they would actually have a day to go out.
Yu Xiaoxiao gave a weak smile, glancing at Chi Qingqing before saying, "Your people aren't much better, so...we still need her to take action..."
Having spent so much time by the Crown Princess's side, Yu Xiaoxiao knew better than anyone what to say and what not to say.
At this point, the fact that Mengyao sent Yingchun to pick her up shows that she hasn't completely given up on herself.
"you……"
Chi Qingqing was about to retort when Yingchun said impatiently, "Hurry up and go back, Master is still waiting."
...
When Han Luoxue heard the news, she simply looked up and glanced at Wen Aixue indifferently.
“Miss Han, it is indeed the Crown Prince’s private seal, and I dare not disobey.”
"Did you keep that letter?"
Wen Aixue shook her head and sighed, "I originally wanted to keep it, but unfortunately that girl wasn't willing. We can't force her."
"Hehe, Lord Wen, do you think I should believe what you're saying?"
Han Luoxue smiled at her, and Wen Aixue's expression turned serious, with a hint of embarrassment on her face: "I really wanted to stay at the time, but that girl named Yingchun was not willing."
"However, I think it would be better to keep a copy of that thing, so I had someone secretly bring it back."
Compared to Lord Zhu, this Lord Wen is much more meticulous.
Such people are neither arrogant nor impatient; they can always stay clear-headed, which is why they can go further.
"Give me the thing!"
A letter bearing the Crown Prince's private seal is a valuable item.
"Miss Han, isn't this inappropriate?"
Wen Aixue left this behind in an attempt to save her life.
"It might get lost in your hands, but it's absolutely safe in mine!"
"Lord Wen, you're still acting magistrate, aren't you? Don't you want to climb the ranks?"
"I see you are brave and resourceful, and you've read quite a few books. You don't want to be an acting magistrate or a magistrate your whole life, do you?"
Han Luoxue's words were practically telling her that she had a way to help him climb even higher.
Wen Aixue hesitated for a moment, then handed the letter to Han Luoxue: "Miss Han, it is not appropriate for me to keep this. You should keep it."
"However, I have a request. If I ever need this in the future, I hope Miss Han will be able to take it out."
This person is indeed clever. Han Luoxue accepted the letter with satisfaction and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, this letter won't be of any use to you."
"Prepare well, Lord Wen. There will be times when we need you."
Although Wen Aixue was unaware of the situation, he understood Han Luoxue's shrewdness. Since she told him to wait, he would patiently await his opportunity.
After Wen Aixue left, Han Luoxue looked at it again, a smirk playing on her lips: "Heh, I wonder if the Crown Prince will go crazy if he finds out about this?"
