Ah Xiu rubbed the back of her head, which was a little painful from being hit. "But, although illegal gold mining is illegal, the mine has been very good to us. Even if they didn't come to rescue us, we would be fine..."
Ah Xiu didn't mean anything else, she just simply felt that they were fine and didn't seem to need to be rescued.
Ying'er and the others were stunned. It seemed to be true. In the past three years, except for not being able to leave the mountain freely, this mine was indeed very good to them.
Here, their lives are also very peaceful and harmonious.
Su Li naturally understood their feelings.
In fact, the Xishan Mine treated them very well. If Prince Ning had not intended to kill them to silence them, she would not have thought of reporting to the police even if she escaped. She did not think that she was a selfless and righteous person.
Then he explained with a mixture of truth and lies: "I originally thought so, but that day on the mountain, I accidentally heard what Master Xiao said..."
"What?"
"Prince Xiao said that after the gold mine is mined, all the slaves and cooks on the mountain will be poisoned to prevent the secret from being leaked."
"What!" Several people's faces changed drastically, "How could it be..."
Ying'er reacted and said, "Of course not. Think about it, this Xishan Mine is an illegal mine. They're afraid we'll talk nonsense after we get out, so they want to kill us to silence us. What's so strange about that?"
When they heard this, they felt it made sense and were immediately filled with fear.
"So, Sister Mo, did you run away secretly because you heard these words?"
"Yes, I was thinking of escaping and reporting to the police, exposing what's going on here so that I can get you out."
Several people were very relieved: "It's a good thing you heard it, otherwise, we wouldn't know how we died..."
Ah Xiu still found it hard to accept: "We're living so well here..."
Aunt Sang patted her on the back and soothed her, "People are treacherous, Ah Xiu, don't be too sad..."
Ah Xiu nodded, then raised her head and asked, "Sister Mo, where is Manager Li? Doesn't Manager Li like you? Doesn't he also want to kill you and us?"
Several people looked at Su Li. Yes, they had all seen how good Manager Li was to Qingcheng over the past six months. There was no way he could be fake.
And them, although Manager Li seldom interacts with them, he buys them so many good things every New Year so that they can have a lively New Year celebration. He is very nice to all the slaves and cooks on the mountain.
Su Li spoke frankly, "That day, I overheard that Master Xiao was going to poison us. He told Steward Li that. Steward Li didn't know he was going to kill us before, but he should have guessed it. He tried to fight for us, but you know, Steward Li also had to obey Master Xiao's orders..."
She had no intention of covering up for or glorifying Li Yuzhi.
In fact, Li Yuzhi was not innocent. In the original novel, he was eventually involved in poisoning the slaves and the cook.
Several people had mixed feelings, which eventually turned into a sigh.
Thirteen asked, "Qingcheng, when can we leave?"
Thirteen is not that sentimental. Now that they have escaped death, they naturally know what to do next.
"I'll ask General Lee later."
She didn't know what their plan would be next, or whether they would keep the slaves and cooks on the mountain to testify.
"Just stay here and relax. I'll tell you later..."
Coming out of the house, Zhichang stepped forward and said, "Miss Mo, General Li asked you to go find him after you come out."
Su Li was just about to go look for him: "Where is General Li?"
"It's the courtyard on the mountain. I'll show you the way."
"Let's go then..."
"She is A Li, General. She is indeed my wife."
In the hall, Li Yingfeng and Ji Tinglan sat opposite each other.
Li Yingfeng looked puzzled: "Tinglan, hasn't the Crown Prince's wife already..."
The marks on the road, the charred corpse in the fire, the matching bone age, the same height, and the ruby earrings left nearby all indicate that the deceased is the Crown Prince's wife. How could she be wrong?
Ji Tinglan said with certainty: "That's not her."
The only ruby earring, the missing sleeve arrow, and now the exact same Mo Qingcheng, all indicate that it is not her.
And he would not make a mistake. Mo Qingcheng was A Li.
"In short, Mo Qingcheng is Su Li, my wife, and I won't make a mistake."
"General, Miss Mo is here." At this time, a guard came in to deliver the message.
"Please ask her to come in."
"yes."
Not long after the guard left, Su Li came in.
Su Li knew that this courtyard was where Xiao Shaoxing stayed temporarily every time he came.
However, she had never been here before. The yard was much more exquisitely decorated and spacious than Li Yuzhi's.
When she entered the hall, she was not surprised to see Ji Tinglan there.
I think this place should be used as their working hall.
The two stood up and walked forward at the same time. Ji Tinglan smiled gently, and General Li was the first to greet her: "Miss Mo."
Su Li was a little surprised. It would have been fine if Ji Tinglan had stood up to greet her. After all, he was treating her as a substitute now, so it was time for him to show his courtesy.
But what's wrong with Li Yingfeng? Although he was polite to her before, he was not polite to this extent. After all, there is a huge gap between her and his status. Logically, she should be polite to him.
After the conversation just now, Li Yingfeng actually treated her as the Crown Prince's wife.
Ting Lan said that Miss Mo is his wife, so she must be the prince's wife.
Since she is the Crown Prince's wife, she will be the future Duke's wife. He cannot wait for her to pay her respects to him, as it is against the rules.
