Tao Xueqi raised her head in panic, only to see the young man in front of her dressed in blood-red clothes. His smile was gentle, like a spring breeze, which made people let down their guard.
Seeing the servants from the Tian Mansion approaching, she no longer hesitated, made up her mind, and jumped into the carriage.
The moment she entered the carriage, it sped away, successfully shaking off the people from Tian Mansion who were chasing her.
Tian Linwen was lying in bed when he received the news. He was so anxious that he wanted to catch Tao Xueqi back immediately.
He drank a whole bowl of bitter medicine in pain, lay down and arranged things listlessly.
"Go out and help me deliver a letter to the manager of Qiancheng Pawnshop. Just say..."
After hearing the instructions, the servant left the room and ran to do his work.
Inside the carriage.
Guo Buyan withdrew his gaze from the car window towards the street and fixed it on Tao Xueqi who was sitting on the side.
She clasped her hands tightly together, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and she looked panic-stricken, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Excuse me, young lady, where is your home? I can take you home." Guo Buyan looked Tao Xueqi up and down, then looked away very tactfully.
Tao Xueqi nodded nervously, but did not say where she was going.
Just like that, she was taken away by Guo Buyan.
The golden afterglow of the sun was setting in the west, and Tao Yuwei was lying in her yard eating chilled watermelon.
【Eating chilled watermelon in the hot summer is like a paradise!】
[It's so sweet, green, and pollution-free, I could eat a whole one.]
The words she muttered in her heart reached the ears of Wu who came to see her.
Just as Mrs. Wu was about to step into her daughter's Fengwei Residence, she heard her daughter's horrified scream.
[Holy crap! Where did this crow come from? It's flying into the yard and cawing like that. It's just asking for bad luck!]
The croaking sound of a crow sounds particularly unpleasant to human ears.
Mrs. Wu was just about to wave her hand to ask the servant in charge of driving away cicadas to drive away the crows when she heard her daughter's joyful voice again.
[I never thought eating watermelon could inexplicably increase my mental strength.]
Her consciousness was thus connected with the crow on the big tree in the yard.
[Little girl, your family is about to be in great trouble. The two sparrow families living nearby have to move away.]
[What you said is too scary. My family is fine.]
Tao Yuwei lowered her head and took a big bite of the big watermelon, feeling very satisfied.
[What's good about that? Someone found evidence that your father accepted bribes and embezzled military funds, and they're trying to blow it up and kill him. I haven't had meat in days. Hurry up and bring out some mutton. Once I'm full, I'll tell you who's behind this.]
When Tao Yuwei heard this, she angrily threw the watermelon rind in her hand, which had been eaten clean, towards where the crow was standing.
The crow in the tree didn't believe that she could hit it, and made a mocking "quack" sound.
As it turned out, the melon rind was much more powerful than it had imagined, and it was knocked off the tree at the speed of a hurricane.
The crow was hit so hard that it felt dizzy and temporarily lost the ability to take off.
Tao Yuwei's figure flashed, she bent down and grabbed the crow with a layer of feathers knocked off. She pinched its neck with one hand and pulled its feathers with the other, her eyes narrowed slightly, "How dare you laugh at me?"
The crow shook its black feathers, and its two small eyes looked at its suddenly enlarged face, and its eyeballs kept rolling around.
[Little girl, please show some mercy. I won't dare to do that again.]
Tao Yuwei snorted lightly and threatened, "Go find more of your kind to help me with this. Once you're done, I'll provide you with all the meat you want to eat in the future."
"If you dare to play tricks and run away, I will let you see my ability." As soon as she finished speaking, she broke off one of its feathers and flicked it lightly, then continued to pluck its feathers.
The crow was frightened by her actions and cawed for mercy!
[Little girl, I have already promised you, so why not let me go first?]
Tao Yuwei gestured to Yunxiao behind her, "Go to the kitchen and bring me a small piece of raw mutton."
She remembered that the incident of her father being falsely accused of embezzling food and wages did not break out at this time.
This happened more than a month earlier than the original plot.
Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance. She only needed to ask Crow to help her find the specific location where the person who framed her father stored the false evidence.
[After you finish eating the meat, I will help you.]
Wu had not been able to hear the words she spoke when communicating with the animals before, but this time she could inexplicably hear them.
She was stunned by her daughter's ability to communicate with birds.
This... is too unbelievable.
As for what Wu Crow said, that her husband was about to be falsely accused of embezzling food and wages, Mrs. Wu was very calm.
She'll get some information here first.
I'll go tell my husband about this later.
When Wu entered the room, she saw the maid Yunxiao carrying a small piece of raw mutton and handing it to her daughter.
"Eat quickly, then get to work."
Tao Yuwei placed the dinner plate on the stone table in the yard and released the crow in her hand. In an instant, the mutton on the plate was eaten up by the crow.
[Little girl, you are too stingy. I am not even full.]
"When you help me find the location of the thing that framed my father, I will treat you to a feast!"
Tao Yuwei's words made the crow flutter its wings excitedly.
This is easy to say. It is difficult to hide anything that happens in the capital from its tribe.
[Little girl, I'll go find something for you right now. When I find it, please don't go back on your word.]
The crow flew away with a whoosh.
"Weier, why did you catch a crow just now?"
Mrs. Wu walked to the table and sat down. Tao Yuwei's mood became very good at this time.
"I think it's fun!"
She handed the chilled watermelon to Wu, "Mom, this watermelon is sweet and delicious, please try it."
Mrs. Wu took it with a smile, and without asking any questions, she slowly started eating the watermelon.
At this time, on one of the most prosperous red-light districts in the capital, a young man who moved quickly came to one of the brothels on the street and walked in.
In the private room not long after.
"Master, the people we have planted in Prince Han's palace have already deliberately leaked that thing to one of the Prince Han's stewards."
A smug look flashed across Huo Xiujie's grim face.
"The Tian family and the Great General's Mansion can no longer marry, so my aunt's plan has failed. However, using that thing and borrowing the hand of King Han to teach the Great General's Mansion a fatal lesson would not be a bad idea."
"This time, I want to see how that stupid woman Anle can get away unscathed."
Anle not only humiliated him and his sister in front of everyone, but also caused his father to be confined by His Majesty. He has always remembered this account.
Huo Xiujie drank a glass of spicy wine fiercely, his eyes full of burning hatred.
The empty cup in his hand was crushed by his great strength, and he didn't feel the cut on his hand at all.
The master and servant did not notice that outside the window, flocks of crows were flying towards the Prince of Han's Mansion in the west of the city.
The King of Han was confined to his palace to reflect on his mistakes.
The gate was guarded by the imperial guards sent by Emperor Jianchang.
In the study of Prince Han's mansion.
The sixth prince, Xiao Yangyao, took the account book that recorded Tao Zhihong's embezzlement of military pay and looked through it carefully.
