Chapter 60 Waiting for the Show
Zhou Yan was startled and said nervously, "I dare not question the Grand Master..."
"Detain Li Jiaojiao. If you want to arrest someone, wait until the case is over." Master Wen turned around and didn't give Zhou Yan a chance to explain.
Zhou Yan tried to explain but was stopped by Dali Temple.
"Master, that's not what I meant." Zhou Yan shouted at Wen Zixi's back, "Master, you've met Jiaojiao, and you know what kind of person she is. She wouldn't do something like this."
Although Jiaojiao had done some wrong things in order to compete for Su Luo's favor.
But Zhou Yan firmly believed that Jiaojiao was not a bad person and would not do that.
Smoking is something that bad women do, how could his Jiaojiao do that?
The more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more impossible it seemed.
Wen Zixi suddenly stopped, glanced back at Zhou Yan, and ordered, "Bring up all the people involved in the case."
"yes."
Soon the Dali Temple Secretary went to handle it.
At this moment, Su Luo walked over, but was happily discovered by Zhou Yan, who shouted, "Luo'er."
Su Luo frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Prince."
"I know that Master Wen once taught several of your brothers and has some connections with the General's Mansion. Jiaojiao is my cousin as well as yours. If that's the case, go bring Jiaojiao home and tell Master Wen about it. He will accept your favor."
He really said that. Su Luo sneered inwardly, but nodded outwardly: "Okay, but I'm afraid I can't persuade the Grand Tutor at all. He's the Grand Tutor, and even the Prince can't persuade him, so how can I?"
"You find a way." Zhou Yan felt that she was his wife, and the husband and wife were one, so he should do his best to save his cousin.
Su Luo said "oh" and walked towards Wen Zixi.
Wen Zixi, who had been frowning, finally smiled faintly and said to her, "What's wrong?"
"The prince begged me to speak to the Grand Tutor and see if I could bring his cousin home."
"This..." Wen Zixi pursed her lips slightly. Did Miss Su love Zhou Yan so much? Was she also so devoted to his cousin?
Just as he was hesitating, Su Luo continued, "But this is favoritism and corruption. How can I make things difficult for you, Master? If Li Jiaojiao really smokes, please handle the case impartially. If the rules are broken because of her alone, it will inevitably damage your reputation as an official."
Wen Zixi nodded, understanding what she meant: "Okay."
"Also, can you allow me to take Concubine Dan and Shaoyao away from the Marquis' Mansion?" Su Luo asked.
"Since you've asked me, of course I can. Besides, they were abducted innocently and they deserve to be taken away." Wen Zixi nodded.
Su Luo walked into the backyard of the silver shop. The officers and soldiers on duty in the yard surrounded all the criminals. The abducted girls were also guarded. After all, there were so many people here that it was hard to tell who was the criminal and who was innocent.
When Aunt Dan saw Su Luo, her eyes immediately lit up, surprisingly bright. With her messy hair on her head, she almost jumped up and waved, "Here! Luo'er! I'm here!"
At this moment, Aunt Dan felt like she saw her own daughter!
Aunt Dan also helped the injured Shaoyao up and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Shaoyao hadn't expected Aunt Dan to care about her so sincerely. She nodded and said, "I'm feeling better now. Thank you, Auntie."
"It's okay! You have a miserable life too. You followed the wrong master!" A trace of sympathy flashed across Aunt Dan's eyes.
Su Luo walked over to support Shaoyao and comforted her, "Luckily, I asked the tutor to rescue you from Yihongyuan in time. Are you okay?"
Shaoyao's face was visibly shaken! She had often helped Li Jiaojiao find ways to deal with Su Luo, yet Su Luo was begging the Grand Tutor to save her?
She was deeply moved, her eyes reddened, and she quickly knelt down: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Princess! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely work like a slave to repay your kindness!"
"Hurry up and get up! Don't kneel anymore if you are injured!" Su Luo helped her up with great care. Shaoyao was so moved that she said with guilt,
"Now I am about to be sold to the slave market. I am afraid I will not be able to repay your kindness..."
"Slave market? That place is too miserable! I have a way to prevent you from being sold and give you freedom." Su Luo put herself in her shoes and said.
"What?" Shaoyao's face was full of excitement.
These benefits were so tempting that Shaoyao's gratitude towards Su Luo was mixed with respect and subconscious obedience.
"That day, your master framed you, letting you take the blame, and then, in a rage, sold you to the slave market. Don't you have any resentment in your heart? He is not a good master at all."
Su Luo said with a hint of anger.
Upon hearing this, Shaoyao clenched her fists slightly, and her face gradually showed obvious anger.
How could she not hate it? She hated it so much.
What an obedient servant she was. In the past, when Li Jiaojiao told her to go left, she would never go right. She obeyed Li Jiaojiao in everything and respected her in everything, but this was her fate.
It's not worth it.
Isn’t the life of a slave a life?
Are servants no longer human beings?
Seeing Shaoyao's eyes red with anger, Su Luo sighed and said with empathy:
"Li Jiaojiao falsely accused you of betrayal. If I were you, I would show her what true betrayal means!"
Shaoyao nodded heavily and said to Su Luo in submission, "What does the Crown Princess want me to do? I will obey you."
"Okay." Su Luo smiled, a dark glint flashing across her eyes. "I'm glad that you can stand up for yourself bravely once."
"Come closer and I'll tell you." Su Luo waved her hand.
Shaoyao leaned over and listened to what Su Luo said. She understood and said "OK" immediately.
Over here...
Li Jiaojiao was taken out by Wen Zixi and didn't know anything yet.
She thought Zhou Yan had taken the back door, so Wen Zixi took her back alone and would take her home.
Li Jiaojiao stroked her hair slightly, feeling particularly happy and proud among the envious criminals.
She is different from these prisoners! She has a background!
Li Jiaojiao waved her handkerchief, and after making sure that there was no cigarette ash on her body and no lingering smell of smoking on her clothes, she walked out.
Seeing Zhou Yan from a distance, Li Jiaojiao said, "Cousin!!"
Zhou Yan frowned and said worriedly, "I'm here."
Wen Zixi looked at the two of them and his expression became much duller.
Li Jiaojiao ran all the way over, and when she was about to run over happily, she was stopped by the yamen runners!
“Wait!”
"What are you doing?" Li Jiaojiao said unhappily, "Get out of my way! Didn't you see my cousin, the Prince of Jing'an Mansion, is here to pick me up?"
Su Luo saw this scene not far away and just laughed a little, waiting for the show to start...
