Chapter 79: Escape
The subordinate quickly said, "Of those exiled together, almost all have died, leaving only Magistrate Xu and his wife. They are in relatively good condition now."
Xu Yu said with tears in her eyes: "Amitabha, thank God."
Xie Changsheng frowned and asked, "Is there any progress in the case?"
The subordinate added, "We have found a man who was exiled with the others and who can prove that Lord Xu is honest. Although we cannot bring him back, we have already arranged for him to be in a safe place."
Xie Changsheng was finally satisfied after hearing this: "Ask Sun Qingli to investigate, and also investigate the stolen files."
The subordinate agreed and withdrew.
Fu Danjun smiled and congratulated Xu Yu: "Congratulations, your family will soon be reunited."
Xu Yu smiled and nodded: "Thank you, sister."
She found that although Fu Danjun was smiling, it seemed forced.
Then, she remembered her previous bad attitude towards Fu Danjun: "The last time my sister came to visit me, I was in a bad mood and didn't treat her well. How about I make up for it now?"
Fu Danjun thought that he was about to die, which might make Xu Yu sad.
I may not have the chance to see her again in the future, so as sisters we should talk more.
So, she smiled and said, "Let's buy some delicious food and eat and chat like we used to."
Xu Yu was overjoyed, but was stunned by Xie Changsheng's cough.
The two women looked at the tyrant together, not knowing where they had violated the taboo.
Xie Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and leave! Your chattering is so annoying."
Fu Danjun and Xu Yu left the inn hand in hand and returned to Xu Yu's home.
On the way, the two bought cooked beef, broad beans and wine.
They spent the whole afternoon eating, drinking and talking.
However, Xu Yu found that Fu Danjun lowered her head and remained silent when her parents were mentioned. Later, she suddenly remembered that Fu Danjun was about to marry and move to northern Xinjiang, and it would be difficult for her to see her parents and family.
For a moment she felt guilty and apologized publicly: "I'm sorry, sister. I forgot your situation and feelings when I mentioned my parents."
Fu Danjun was already seven-tenths drunk. He smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not that petty. Just say it."
Seeing that she didn't care, Xu Yu ran to show her the letter his father had written to him a few days ago.
Fu Danjun read it and laughed: "Your father is urging you to find a husband."
Xu Yu couldn't help but blush: "You only saw this sentence, right?"
Fu Danjun thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "What will you do if the tyrant doesn't let you go in the future?"
Xu Yu shrugged and said with a smile: "Then I will take my parents with me and go with him, but he will definitely dislike us."
After she finished speaking, she paused and then smiled and said, "In fact, during this period of time, he had forgotten about me, and after seeing me, he seemed to be absent.
Fu Danjun quickly laughed and said, "Maybe one day he'll suddenly become enthusiastic again. That's just how he is."
Xu Yu smiled but said nothing. After a while, he smiled wryly and said, "Life in the palace is much better than in the common people. If I could really bring my parents into the palace, it would be a good thing."
Fu Danjun observed Xu Yu's words and expressions and felt that she had feelings for Xie Changsheng.
So, she gave Xu Yu an idea: "You can strive to become a concubine, even if it is a lower-ranking palace concubine. This way, your parents can have food and clothing without worries in their old age."
Xu Yu smiled bitterly: "With my temper, can I survive more than three days in the palace? If Sister Fu was by my side, it would be okay."
Fu Danjun shook his head and smiled: "Even if I want to be with you, there is no chance anymore."
Xu Yu pounded the table with her fists, angrily saying, "Why did you have to marry to Beijiang? How disgusting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone coughed outside.
Both women were surprised, and then saw Xie Changsheng walking in with a fan in his hand and a square step.
Both of them stood up and saluted. Xie Changsheng sat down on Fu Danjun's chair and drank from her wine glass.
Then he saw the cooked beef on the plate, picked it up and ate it: "Mmm, delicious!"
Xu Yu quickly apologized with a smile: "Your Majesty likes it, I will go out and buy some more."
Xie Changsheng refused: "No, this is enough."
Fu Danjun saw that he was slow and leisurely, and felt a little bored: "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while."
After hearing this, Xu Yu accompanied Fu Danjun to the bedroom.
Xie Changsheng frowned and called out, "Stop! Go back to sleep if you want to!"
Fu Danjun rubbed his eyes and turned to walk out.
Because she was really sleepy and didn't want to argue, she just did whatever she was told.
Xie Changsheng saw her walking out and called out to her, "Stop! Come with me later."
Fu Danjun couldn't move on any longer, so he just found a chair to sit down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Xie Changsheng slowly finished his drink, came over and pinched her nose: "You can go now."
Xie Changsheng got off the car at the door of the inn first and asked the driver to take Fu Danjun back.
Fu Danjun returned to the inn in a daze and fell asleep again.
When Lan Fang woke up the next day, she said, "The Wanyan envoy came and said he had to go to Lincheng on business. The young lady was asleep, so he didn't disturb her."
Fu Danjun was eager for him to stay away for a few more days. He grabbed Lan Fang's hand and said, "Luoyang is flooding again. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out my plan. You must be smart and return to my hometown in Jiangnan as soon as I escape."
Lan Fang sighed helplessly: "The young lady has told me countless times, I just follow her instructions."
Fu Danjun felt relieved and went to Xie Changsheng's inn after washing up.
As it turned out, Xie Changsheng was not there, and his subordinates who were guarding the gate said that they had organized people to repair the dam.
Fu Danjun's eyes lit up instantly, knowing that the opportunity had come.
She touched the fake death drug hidden in her sleeve, then walked out of the inn and onto the embankment.
The scene before us was a mess, as a group of people were trapped on the other side of the dam due to a crack.
The flood separated their family members on the other side of the river, and the elderly and children cried together.
Fortunately, Xie Changsheng was at the scene. He asked people to calm the people down and urged them to build rafts quickly to evacuate all the people.
Fu Danjun squeezed through the crowd and shouted, "I'm here to help!"
She had to let Xie Changsheng see her, but as soon as Xie Changsheng saw her, he yelled, "Go back!"
Fu Danjun knew it was for his own good, but he pretended to be stubborn: "The situation is so critical, how can I just stand by and watch?"
Xie Changsheng was so angry that his teeth were itching. If it weren't for the distance and difficult road in between, he would have rushed over and beat up this woman.
"Lu Yu! Take her back quickly!"
Lu Yu promised not to move, but secretly laughed at himself for not saying such a thing.
The scene was so chaotic that Xie Changsheng couldn't focus on one thing.
Fu Danjun helped the elderly and children get on the raft, and then took advantage of the crowd to fall into the sea.
The people who saw it all shouted, "Help! Help! Someone has fallen down."
While Xie Changsheng was busy, he heard the cries for help getting louder and louder, and saw Lu Yu standing nearby: "Huh? You're still here?"
Lu Yu quickly smiled and said, "Fu Danjun should go back on his own."
Xie Changsheng looked left and right and indeed couldn't find her, but his heart was getting heavier: "Lu Yu, go back immediately and see if she has returned to the inn. Go quickly!"
On the other side, the people have started rescue operations.
Several young and strong men jumped down to rescue the person.
