Chapter 169 How do you know that nothing will succeed if you don’t try?

The girl froze and immediately avoided Ruan Qinghuan's scrutiny: "I don't understand what you are saying."

"Really? Then I'll explain it more clearly." Ruan Qinghuan said what she guessed: "You are the real daughter of the He family. The current Princess Chen should be your personal maid Lan Yan'er. I am right."

When He An investigated King Chen, he also investigated the He family.

I didn't take it too seriously at the time, but now it seems that what happened when the He family sent their eldest daughter to the capital was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

The records of He's trip to Beijing recorded that she was robbed by bandits on the way, who looted all her wedding items and killed a maid who accompanied her to the wedding.

Later, Princess Chen successfully entered the capital, and the matter was handed over to the Jiangnan prefecture for investigation. A few months later, a report on the closure of the case was submitted, stating that all the robbers had been arrested.

Ruan Qinghuan sat down on a stool by the wall: "So many misfortunes have happened to the He family. You know better than anyone else that these are by no means accidents."

Chu Li: "Don't try to be so rude. Now that we have found this place, how can you hide your identity?"

The girl looked desperate, and her strength gradually disappeared. She helped her mother sit on the ground and said, "Yes, I am He Nianqing."

"Let's go inside and talk." Ruan Qinghuan had just stood up when the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open and five or six men in black rushed in.

Seeing this, He Nianqing was so frightened that she quickly helped her mother up and retreated to the door.

Chu Li: "Go inside and close the door."

The two of them hid back in the room in a panic. He Nianqing couldn't help but tremble all over. A few years ago, it was a man in black like this who almost took her life.

Chu Li stood in front of Ruan Qinghuan and asked, "Who are you?"

The other party said nothing.

Ruan Qinghuan: "Here comes with bad intentions, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I don't care about these cats and dogs."

The men in black rushed forward and Ruan Qinghuan retreated to the door. Although Chu Li's kung fu was good, in the end the opponent had too many people and he would suffer a loss after a long time.

It was her mistake. She didn't take this into consideration. She only wanted to come to the He Mansion to check and find the crazy Mrs. He. She didn't expect that He Nianqing was here.

These people must be here to silence us.

Now that Prince Chen has fallen, he should not care about the He family's affairs. These people must be related to other branches of the He family.

These people's kung fu were obviously no match for Chu Li, but they relied on their numbers and did not use their full strength, intending to consume Chu Li's strength and then attack her together when she was defeated.

This is not a solution.

Ruan Qinghuan was getting anxious when another person appeared at the door. This person had long hair tied up, colorful clothes, and exuded a strong sense of the underworld.

Her appearance made Ruan Qinghuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Zining couldn't stand this kind of scoundrel who covered his head and face: "Where did this faceless scoundrel come from? How dare you act so rudely in front of my sister."

Chu Li: "You've come just in time, let's make this a quick fight."

Before, she didn't dare to attack with all her strength in order to protect her sister-in-law and the people in the house. Now with Xu Zining's joining, she was much less worried.

Xu Zining inherited his father's true martial arts skills and has reached a very high level. It is difficult for these people to defeat him.

Chu Li no longer had any concerns at this moment, and the two of them cooperated very well, and soon stabbed three or four people. The remaining men in black saw this and knew that the situation was settled. The man in front hesitated for a moment and said, "Retreat!"

Xu Zining wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Ruan Qinghuan, who was worried that they would come back again: "Don't chase after poor bandits. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."

Xu Zining gave her a reassurance: "Don't worry, sister. Qingzhou is now stationed in Lincheng. Those evil spirits will not be able to escape."

"Qingzhou is here?" Ruan Qinghuan was excited when he heard this: "How is he? Was he injured during the battle?"

Xu Zining said honestly, "I did suffer some minor injuries, but after my father's treatment, I am fine now. Don't worry, sister."

"That's good."

**

After the assassination, He Nianqing did not dare to stay in the He family's old house. She took her mother back to the Lincheng County Government and was placed in the backyard of the county government.

Ruan Qinghuan was so excited to see her brother and sister reunite that before she could say anything, Chu Li pulled her over and asked her a long series of questions:

"Where's Ji Lingchuan? Why didn't he come back? Is he injured? The war is over, but we won?"

Ruan Qingzhou knew that Chu Li was most concerned about the first two questions. "Don't worry, Sister Chu. General Ji is doing very well. He is taking Prince Chen back to the capital."

"What, he went back to Beijing?" Chu Li was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Why did he go back alone? No, are he and He An so careless that they left me and my sister-in-law in Jiangnan?"

Ruan Qinghuan shook her head helplessly. Look, this is the Chu Li who used to get angry easily. She is much more pleasing to the eye than that beautiful, intelligent, steady and decent girl.

Ruan Qingzhou was frightened when he saw her like this for the first time.

Chu Li was unaware of this: "As for this Ji Lingchuan, wait and see how I deal with him when I return to Beijing."

County Magistrate Liu, who was standing by, naturally did not dare to respond. He pretended not to hear anything and stood still like a wooden stake.

Seeing that Chu Li had almost vented his anger, Ruan Qinghuan spoke up, "It will definitely not be peaceful on the way to escort Prince Chen back to the capital. He An and Ji Lingchuan are right to make this decision."

The two of them had a tacit understanding on this matter. Although they were worried about their safety, Ruan Qinghuan, like Chu Li, couldn't help but feel a little angry.

But this time I stayed and got some unexpected gains, which is also a good thing.

"Liu County Magistrate."

"I am here. Madam, if you have anything to say, just give me your instructions."

"I want all the files from the He family incident. I want to take them with me when I return to Jiangnan tomorrow."

"Yes, I will send someone to prepare it."

**

Ruan Qingzhou sent a large number of troops to protect the safety of He's mother and daughter. At the same time, he also sent people to search the city, determined to find those men in black.

In the room, Mrs. He had already gone to bed. He Nianqing sat quietly on the stool. She knew that Ruan Qinghuan would definitely come.

As soon as Chu Li and Ruan Qinghuan entered the room, He Nianqing fell to her knees.

Ruan Qinghuan: "Miss He, what are you doing?"

"What He did has nothing to do with the first house. Madam, please investigate it."

Chu Li: "That's not right. Isn't He Hongzhi from your eldest family?"

Hearing this name, He Nianqing's eyes were filled with deep hatred: "He is the illegitimate son of the eldest wife. All the evil things that the eldest wife of the He family has done were done by him alone. It has nothing to do with my father, mother, and brother."

Ruan Qinghuan sat down: "You stand up and talk first."

Ho Nian-ching looked desperate: "The fire that destroyed the Ho family was caused by the collusion between Ho Hung-chi and the other three families. Only when the first family fell would they have the opportunity to seize more property and gain more power."

"And I was also assassinated on the way to get married, and I was sent to the capital under the name of Lan Yan'er, a maid. Madam, the He family is plotting rebellion, so how can I and the eldest wife of the He family be innocent?"

Chu Li was shocked.

Ruan Qinghuan: "Whether the eldest wife of the He family is innocent or not, you still need to go to the capital in person to see the emperor and explain your grievances in person."

He Nianqing shook her head: "It's useless. Now I am a dead person. As long as the other three families insist that I am a fake, there is no way to verify it."

"Everything depends on human effort. How do you know that things will not be accomplished if you don't try?"

He Nianqing: "..."
