Chapter 328 Xie Jingmo, you still have time to flirt!
"Oh my god! Why are you here?!" Deputy General Gao's jaw dropped in shock.
Xie Jingmo turned his head and was so frightened that he almost fell out of the tree. Yun Zhao pulled him up and he was able to stabilize himself.
"My God," Xie Jingmo collapsed, "What kind of place is this? If anything happens to you, how will I live?!"
Deputy General Gao: "...Damn it! I'm still alive. What time is it, Xie Jingmo, and you still have time to flirt!"
Yun Zhao frowned, "Stop! What's going on now?!"
Deputy General Gao pointed to an underground passage and said, "It's roughly around this location. Let's wait and see."
Deputy General Gao had just finished speaking.
Yu Xiang and Mu Chengyan walked to the entrance of the passage.
"Mu Chengyan, you will be killed by a woman sooner or later!"
The three people on the tree looked closely and saw that Mu Chengyan's knife was on Yu Xiang's neck.
Mu Chengyan said coldly, "I have already examined the body. It is Xie Jingmo. I must do what I promised Yun Zhao before!"
Yu Xiang refused to leave the entrance of the passage and said earnestly, "Are you crazy? Do you believe Yun Zhao will really kill Xie Jingmo?"
"Well, even if they were really killed, wouldn't that be better? This shows that Yun Zhao is really concerned about the women and children inside! You should strive for greater benefits."
Mu Chengyan lowered the blade a little and said angrily, "What do you know! She's already angry. I can't let the relationship between us be damaged because of others!"
"Hahaha!" Yu Xiang laughed. "Mu Chengyan, I didn't expect you to be so naive. Do you think there's still any affection between you and Yun Zhao after this incident? Are you really—hahaha, how could you be so stupid?"
Mu Chengyan gritted his teeth, "Zhao Zhao wouldn't lie to me! The one who died was Xie Jingmo! As long as Xie Jingmo is gone, we will have plenty of time to spend together in the future! What do you know!"
The two of them spoke loudly.
After listening to this, Xie Jingmo touched his nose, pretended to turn his head and said to Yun Zhao in a whisper: "Luckily I didn't die, otherwise Mu Chengyan's evil plan would have succeeded!"
Yun Zhao: “…”
Seeing Mu Chengyan and Yu Xiang enter the entrance of the passage, the three of them evacuated silently.
After returning, Yun Zhao said to Deputy General Gao, "Go and arrange a place for her to live. Let Gao's sister-in-law and the child live in the palace in the future." Yun Zhao turned to Deputy General Gao and said, "You have been in the palace all year round and never go home. Gao's sister-in-law has worked hard to take care of the child alone. You can rest assured that they are in the palace. When the girl grows up, ask the maids in the palace to teach her etiquette. In the future, I will ask the emperor to give her the title of princess. It will not be in vain for your child to suffer with you."
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Gao's eyes immediately filled with tears. "But this is against the rules."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "What's against the rules? You're protecting me, so you should be keeping the rear safe. I was negligent before."
Yun Zhao took all of this upon himself, but Deputy General Gao knew that this was a special exception Yun Zhao had made for himself.
He was grateful in his heart. Xie Jingmo smiled and patted Deputy General Gao on the back. "Well, the dog food was not eaten in vain."
When Mu Chengyan arrived, it was already dusk.
He walked in and said, "Send the person back."
Yun Zhao lowered his head to eat the food, only said "hmm", and did not ask Mu Chengyan to sit down or eat with him.
She ate by herself with no expression on her face.
After a while, Deputy General Gao came in to meet someone, and Yun Zhao immediately saw the hand of Gao's sister-in-law with the missing little finger.
She tightened her grip on the chopsticks.
Gao's sister-in-law knelt on the ground to express her gratitude. Yun Zhao helped them up and asked Fu Hai to settle them down.
After that, Yun Zhao couldn't swallow the rice at all.
Xie Jingmo said, "It's just a missing finger, it's a blessing already," but when Yun Zhao saw it in person, he still felt uncomfortable.
The pair of hands that could make exquisite embroidered handkerchiefs are now broken.
She felt regretful, annoyed, sad, and—
Unparalleled anger!
But she restrained herself because there was still a child who had not been released, and that child was only five years old.
An age where if they led people into the tunnel, they would die instantly.
Yun Zhao forced himself to swallow the food. Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao and said, "I know you're unhappy, but this is the best I can do. It's just a finger, it won't be a problem. I heard that you settled them in the palace, so that's a good exchange for wealth."
Yun Zhao was so angry that he laughed.
She couldn't help but hold her chopsticks tightly and asked, "This wealth is given to you, do you want it?"
Mu Chengyan fell silent.
Yun Zhao was so angry that she could hardly suppress it. After a long while, she slowly said, "You know what? I have heard this saying since I was a child: the lives of the poor are worthless. My parents and Yun Meng are like that. I have always wondered if I could make the lives of the poor worth something if I were to take a high position.
Now you say that Gao's sister-in-law and her family have traded all these twists and turns for wealth and prosperity, and it's worth it. You say this as if you slapped me in the face in public, telling me that everything I did was in vain, right? "
"Mucheng Yan, you've been rich since childhood, so you don't need to trade your body and hair for anything, right?"
"You are so noble."
Yun Zhao said that tears were coming out.
Mu Chengyan wanted to walk over, but Yun Zhao had already raised his hand, "You go back first, I'm a little tired now, I want to rest."
Mu Chengyan looked at Yun Zhao for a long time, then said softly, "Then digest it yourself. If you still feel uncomfortable, just call me in. Now that Xie Jingmo is dead, I am all you have."
Mu Chengyan finished speaking and left.
Yun Zhao closed his eyes and felt his chest ache from anger.
She stood alone in the lotus pond for a long time.
I feel sad.
When Fu Hai arrived, Yun Zhao asked, "Have you settled in?"
Fu Hai nodded. "He's fine. He lost a finger and feels heavy. The doctor said he needs to be well rested for a while."
Yun Zhao nodded and let Fu Hai go down.
Fu Hai sighed and turned to look for Xie Jingmo, but he searched everywhere and couldn't find him.
Xie Jingmo didn't come back until dawn.
"I knew you weren't asleep," Xie Jingmo smiled, carefully took out a handkerchief wrapped in something from his arms, and handed it to Yun Zhao with both hands.
Yun Zhao asked, "What is it?"
Xie Jingmo said: "Take a look."
Yun Zhao lifted the thin veil.
She looked at the things inside and froze in place.
"How... did you find it?"
"I know you're looking for this place. You followed us because you were looking for this, right?" Xie Jingmo said with a smile, "Don't I understand you? I spent the whole night looking for it and almost jumped off a cliff to find it. Luckily, I found it. Take a look, is it still usable?"
Yun Zhao took a look at the things in front of him.
He raised his head again, and the morning sun was rising in the gray sky, and the first ray of golden light fell on Xie Jingmo's face.
The eyes that contrast with it are black and bright!
