Now, the two of them, master and servant, are stranded in this place, not knowing what will happen to them. They can only take it one step at a time.
If there were any real danger, he would definitely stand in front of the Heavenly Emperor immediately.
"Yes, I understand."
Mo Yan was quite satisfied with Xiao Shui's cooperation, and she looked in this direction.
There seems to be nothing special about it, so is the story of someone selling themselves to bury their father just a coincidence?
Just then, Lei Ling arrived and bowed to Mo Yan, saying, "Grandmaster, I've found out that the girl has already married."
When her father died, someone bought her for money. She buried her father and left with him. The girl named Green Willow later stole her father's body.
Lei Ling was also Zuo Caixuan's senior brother, whom they had met before, and this time he followed Mo Yan and the others.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go back then."
Since nothing she said was true, there's no need to pay attention to it.
It's not necessarily the truth, but it's not necessarily a lie either.
Mo Yan walked in and saw that Xiao Jiu and Zuo Caixuan had finished packing their things.
"Let's go back."
Zuo Caixuan was a little confused. Didn't her grandmother say that she would be investigating here for a few days?
How come now...
"No need to check anymore, we can go back and check on their situation before we set off."
"Where are we headed?"
Zuo Caixuan and Lei Ling were even more confused.
"Of course I'm going to settle accounts with someone. I'm going to Zuo Caiwei's maternal grandfather's house. I want to ask him how he raised such a daughter."
We also need to ask, how did this Green Willow come to have the Zheng family's token?
Zuo Caiwei's mother was a concubine's daughter of the Zheng family. She eloped with the ungrateful Zuo Lan and became his concubine!
As for Green Willow, she possesses some of the Zheng family's tokens, so it's not unusual for her to come knocking on their door.
The five major families were being plotted against, and she had to go and see if it was a scheme or collusion.
Zuo Caixuan was stunned. Could this really be happening?
"Okay, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shui quickly spoke up, "The Zheng family, one of the five great families? They've become Eunuch Hai's lackeys now!"
The reason we got into trouble was because they set us up.
Oh wow, this is interesting.
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. "So, his maternal family isn't the Zheng family, is it?"
What's the relationship between all of these?
Xiao Shui nodded solemnly, "Yes, my young master's maternal family is the Zheng family, but nowadays the Zheng family are just Eunuch Hai's henchmen. We can't go!"
This was the first time they had ever heard of Grandpa Hai.
"Who is Eunuch Hai? We found someone here who said that the master behind him is Prince Ning."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shui slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "You're wrong, you're wrong! Prince Ning is quite good; he has always been guarding the border. The one who controls the court now is Eunuch Hai, someone left behind by the late emperor."
Mo Yan thought for a moment and pulled out such a person from her memory.
Oh, that little eunuch who always cries.
"It seems you all have a high opinion of Prince Ning. Is he the late emperor's son?"
Xiao Shui shook her head. "No, he was the late emperor's uncle. He was enfeoffed as the Prince of Ning because of his meritorious service in protecting the country."
After listening, Mo Yan nodded and prepared to have someone investigate these people.
"Alright, let's go back first, then we'll go to the Zheng family's house."
Even so, the Zheng family still had to make a trip there.
They didn't expect that before they even reached the Zheng family, they would go to another place first.
After they returned, Bailing and Fengning said they would stay and take good care of the old lady.
The millionaire rushed out and ran away like a madman, as if he had been controlled again.
"Auntie, he ran away like a madman, and that Green Willow ran away too."
Mo Yan was quite surprised; she had crippled that Green Willow, yet it was still able to escape.
"Okay, then we'll go take a look. You guys stay here."
Mo Yan had already placed something on that millionaire before, so catching up with him now would be easy.
Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shui didn't complain at all along the way. They rode horses when they were supposed to and followed them through gritted teeth.
That evening, Mo Yan looked at Xiao Jiu.
Give him a pill, "Eat this."
Without saying a word, Xiao Jiu ate it.
"Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"
Xiao Jiu shook her head. "I'm not afraid. If you really wanted to kill me, you would have done it already, right? You wouldn't have gone through all this trouble to save me."
Grandma, actually I still really want to live, but living is so tiring.
My mother always wanted me to be the kind of person she envisioned, she wanted me to be obedient, and she wanted me to listen to my grandfather.
If what he said is wrong, how can I listen to it?
My father always said that whatever position you hold, you must bear the responsibilities that come with it.
He also wanted to become the kind of person his father hoped he would take on.
"My father told me that people in our family are not in control of their own lives, and they cannot even show their feelings when facing people or things they like."
He said that both he and his aunt had someone they really liked and wanted to be with that person for life.
But they couldn't; they had too many responsibilities on their shoulders and could only choose to shoulder the responsibilities of their families.
I don’t think my father is happy at all, but he says it’s something he has to do. Since he was born into this family, he should do something for the family.
Otherwise, how can we live up to everyone's sacrifices?
My dad said he really loves this family very much.
I love it too.
He also loves this country and wants to see everyone doing well.
