If she could know what they were thinking, she would find that one of them did not want to take the liberty of asking about others' past, while the other knew about it but could not say it because it would be exposed.
"I don't know. Can I ask next time?"
Zhang You was convinced by Qiuyue's words, and there was no need to rush anyway.
The midday sun made the yard warm. It was already late autumn, and even the ginkgo tree at the corner of the yard had almost lost all its leaves. It was cold every morning and evening, and it was only warm under the sun.
Qiao Si was surrounded and walked into the yard. Zhang You and the others prepared lunch, washed her hands, and served her the meal.
Although wealthy families like theirs pay attention to etiquette and norms, perhaps because Prince Qiao is a military general, they do not have so many rules. For example, they do not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.
"Jingzhu, send someone to investigate what Yang Chi'an and Yang Li did in Tuozhou, especially what they did on the way to Dingzhou. Investigate thoroughly and give me the information as soon as possible."
Qiao Si looked a little heavy-hearted, and he seemed a little absent-minded while eating.
"Xia He Dong Mei, please invite Master Yu and the others after dinner. I have something important to discuss with you."
Zhang You was still lamenting how busy Qiao Si was, thinking about handling work while eating, but the next second he was assigned a task.
It turns out that you can't just watch the fun, it's too easy to become the fun itself.
Zhang You and Dongmei responded in unison.
After they served Qiao Si his meal and had a simple meal, they estimated that it was about time, so they went to where Yu Shengsheng and the others lived.
On the way, Zhang You thought about the strange thing happening at Qiao Si's dinner table and asked Dongmei curiously, "Dongmei, did the princess encounter any problems today? Why haven't you rested yet?"
"When I went there this morning, Yang Li was already in a standoff with the princess. He wanted to take Yang Chi'an back, but the princess was adamant and refused to let him go. Yang Li then stayed at the yamen, essentially clinging to his position.
After all, he was the prefect of Tuozhou, and the princess had no real power under him. What's more, there was nothing wrong with what he did, so the princess had no way to deal with him.
However, it seems someone is trying to stir up trouble in Tuozhou and Dingzhou. As soon as Yang Li moved into the government office, someone approached the princess, demanding justice from her.
Dongmei recounted in detail what she saw and heard there.
"How... could this happen?"
Zhang You felt that there was a conspiracy behind this.
It's so natural.
It's too much of a coincidence.
They just dealt with Yang Chi'an on the street last night, and right after that someone handed him evidence.
It was as if someone had deliberately staged this incident to get Qiao Si to take action.
I just don't know what this person's purpose is.
To sow discord between Tuozhou and Dingzhou? Or to frame Qiao Si or even the Qiao Palace?
No wonder Qiao Si looked so worried, they were actually set up without knowing it.
"Those people are said to have come from a village on the border of Tuozhou and Dingzhou. They accused Yang Chi'an of killing people and even brought the bodies to the government office."
Whenever Dongmei thought of that scene, she felt like a thorn in her back.
It seemed as if their every move was planned by that person in secret. The enemy was in the dark and I was in the light, so every move had to be carefully considered.
"He's putting it in front of the princess, trying to take Yang Chian's life!"
"That's right."
"Then how did the princess do it?"
"What can we do? We can't rush this matter. We can only delay it. But if we do that, we will damage the princess's dignity in front of the people."
When Dongmei thought about it now, she felt furious, but she didn't know who to vent her anger on.
The situation now is too passive. They don’t even know who is directing this play. They have been tricked at the very beginning.
Now they can only drag it out and dare not move rashly.
Zhang You frowned upon hearing this, "The person behind this actually has such sinister intentions."
This not only damaged Qiao Si's reputation, but also made the already tense relationship between Qiao Si and Yang Li even worse.
If Qiao Si really demands that Yang Chi'an pay with his life according to the law, then Tuozhou and Dingzhou will truly become enemies.
If Qiao Si does not deal with Yang Chi'an, then Qiao Si, and even the Qiao Palace, will lose credibility in front of the people of Dingzhou.
Either way, it's not the best choice.
Dongmei looked at the nervous and worried Xia He and spoke to comfort her.
"Don't think too much. The princess and the others will find a way. We just need to trust them."
"Do you trust the princess very much?"
"Of course, the worst that can happen is martyrdom for the Lord."
Zhang You’s eyes widened.
Are you talking human language?
What does it mean to die for the Lord? !
Dongmei looked at her aroused emotions and laughed out loud: "I was kidding, hahahahahahaha. The princess naturally has a way, but it's just a backup. If there is a best way, why not use it?"
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Yu Shengsheng and her friends' room.
Yu Shengsheng heard their conversation in the room and expected that Qiao Si would probably come to her for questions.
Although Qiao Si already knew her identity when they first met, she always knew more about Yang Li than Qiao Si and the others.
"What are you talking about? What's the solution?"
Yu Sheng was standing next to Yu Shengsheng. She had also heard what Dongmei said, but she didn't hear it clearly.
As soon as Zhang You saw Teacher Xiaoyu, she remembered what she had just heard about Yang Chian being sued. She thought carefully and spoke.
"Teacher Xiaoyu, Yu Sheng, the princess is back, and she has something to discuss with Teacher Xiaoyu.
And... Teacher Xiao Yu, Yang Chi'an has been sued for taking a life. Someone has already brought the complaint and the body to the government office to sue him. If it's true..."
Zhang You didn't say anything else. She looked at Teacher Xiao Yu worriedly, wanting her to prepare early.
After hearing this, Yu Shengsheng was silent for a moment.
She did care a little bit about Yang Chian, but only a little bit.
If he really did such a thing, she would not plead for him, because that was what he deserved.
Yu Sheng looked at Yu Shengsheng, who had suddenly fallen silent, with some worry in his eyes.
"master."
She called out softly, bringing Yu Shengsheng back to his senses.
"I'm fine. If that day really comes, I won't care about personal feelings."
Zhang You and Dongmei took the two people to see Qiao Si.
They talked for half an hour, and Jinglan from Qiao Er's yard came hurriedly to report the news. Qiao Si and Teacher Xiao Yu went to Qiao Er's Tingfeng Courtyard again.
Zhang You and the others were left behind.
"Is there something new going on?"
Zhang You looked at their hurriedly leaving backs and asked in confusion.
"This morning, the second young lady was asked to perform an autopsy. The results should be out by now."
Dongmei answered Zhang You's question.
"Yesterday's trivial incident actually involved so much."
At that time, I just thought it was the trouble caused by a playboy, who could have thought that it would attract the scheme of someone with ulterior motives.
They had already understood the situation clearly during the conversation between Qiao Si and Yu Shengsheng.
