Chapter 12: The Young Marquis of the Yucheng Aristocratic Family Sincerely Repents
Hearing Du Hui's question, the young steward couldn't help but feel a little nervous, hesitating and not knowing how to respond.
Judging from Du Hui's command over all matters of the mansion today, the relationship between Du Hui and the young marquis seems to be quite different now! Although Du Hui no longer holds the title of Chief Secretary, he is now more involved in the affairs of the mansion. The young marquis, now awake, clearly relies heavily on him!
But, this matter...
Without the young marquis's personal order, the steward really didn't dare to say more.
Du Hui asked with understanding, "Is this the person the young marquis ordered to be imprisoned?"
The steward thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with admitting it: "Yes, it was the young marquis who ordered it to be closed."
"How long have you been locked up?"
"He has been imprisoned since the day the young marquis was injured while riding a horse and was bedridden."
That’s nearly two months!
Du Hui couldn't help but gasp: "Is the person... is he still alive?"
"Alive, alive!"
The steward quickly replied, "Although the young marquis had nearly fainted several times and didn't know if he even remembered this matter, this was ultimately a matter of life and death. The Xiguan Palace had never had the custom of disregarding human life."
Even though people in the mansion were in turmoil a few days ago and everyone was busy taking care of themselves, they did not completely let things go. The manager came to see after the banquet last night, and the person was alive!
He also gave water and food at that time.
At this moment, I really feel lucky. Thanks to him for coming to see me last night, otherwise it would be hard to say whether this person would still be alive today.
After hearing this, Du Hui turned around and left.
He wants to find the young marquis.
Since he was the one who was locked up by the young marquis, even if the trouble was caused by the young marquis's misdeeds before his injury, he could not ask the steward to open the door and let him in without authorization.
The young marquis will be the master of Xiguan Marquis Mansion from now on.
After taking a few steps, he ran into Liu Ziye who had just followed him here from the front hall of the Marquis' Mansion.
Liu Ziye's gloomy face and narrow eyes made Du Hui startled.
"Young Marquis, what happened?"
Liu Ziye asked directly: "What is Mr. Du doing?"
"I was just about to talk to the old man from the palace who was temporarily imprisoned here yesterday. But...just as I got here, I discovered that there was someone imprisoned in the innermost room."
"Is someone locked up?"
Liu Ziye thought back and forth, and finally found a clue from the gaps in the information of countless world lines.
Speaking of her time travel, she actually inherited the original owner's memories.
But from the moment she opened her eyes, she not only had to deal with the dangerous crisis of death, but also had to accept the complex world line information and the points earning rules of the dog system.
Today is only the second day, and she has just sorted out her next action plan for the first time.
How could she find the energy to meticulously recall the original owner's memories and everything he had done when he was alive? There was too much information to process, and it was difficult for her to remember all of the original owner's memories.
Even if she tried hard to recall it just now, she was still stumbling, with omissions and missing parts everywhere.
It was not until this time, after Du Hui's reminder, that Liu Ziye finally found clues related to this matter from the world line information.
In the original world line, as soon as the original owner died, everyone in the Xiguan Palace left or died overnight.
This warehouse and prison cell in the Marquis' Mansion has become a deserted corner. No one remembers that there is a person who has been imprisoned here for two months.
And this person obviously did not survive.
Later, the entire Xiguan County was plagued by famine and snowstorms. With no way to survive, the people of the Xiguan border area fled to the Xiguan Governor's Mansion in Yucheng, hoping that he would open the granaries and release food, and that he would provide shelter from the wind and snow.
After things went against their wishes, a civil uprising broke out throughout Xiguan County.
The person who organized this civil uprising was the patriarch of the Fu clan, one of the most influential clans in the Xiguan border county.
This Fu clan leader was not as desperate as many ordinary people. The reason why he stood up and joined the refugee group and launched a resistance against the governor's office was said to be because -
His only son was imprisoned and died in the Xiguan Palace for no reason.
By then, the Xiguan Palace had completely vanished, but the Fu clan leader needed to vent his grief over the loss of his only son.
Now that my only son is gone, everything accumulated for him is no longer of any meaning.
The Xiguan Palace was the residence of a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the direct descendant of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For the past ten years, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty cared about the suffering of the people in Xiguan County. Now, countless refugees are suffering from wind, frost, hunger and displacement. I wonder how many people are like him, who have been cut off from their loved ones.
What’s the point of having such a court?
So he simply chose to confront the Inspectorate that represented the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xiguan County.
He took advantage of the situation and organized the refugees to launch a civil uprising.
Liu Ziye thought of this and looked at the row of short and dilapidated adobe houses.
Following the direction pointed by the manager, his eyes were fixed on the room at the very end.
So, the person who is locked in the innermost room, with iron locks and doors and windows sealed, is the only son of the Fu family?
This is his father...
I'll fuck your thirty-eight generations of ancestors! !
It turned out that her next move was to unite with the local big families in Xiguan Yucheng, and the system exploded the bomb buried by the original owner!
Du Hui had no idea what was going on in Liu Ziye's mind, nor did he know how many times he had cursed the ancestors of the system. He only saw the young marquis's face covered in blood and shock.
Hey, look at the young marquis like this...
I also know that what I did before was really inhumane!
Now he has turned over a new leaf and finally understands the truth and feels ashamed!
Old prince, your spirit in heaven must have seen it all!
Don't worry, since the young marquis is determined to be a good person, I, Du, will definitely live up to your dying trust. Even if it takes all my strength, I will ensure that the young marquis is safe for the rest of his life!
With a surge of emotion and a heavy worry, he took a step forward and bowed, "Young Marquis! Should I ask the steward to open this door first?"
He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself for a moment, and his voice slipped a few times while he was speaking.
Liu Ziye, who was immersed in a deep pit of negative emotions, was startled. He came to his senses and looked at Du Hui strangely.
Where did Mr. Du suddenly get so much motivation?
No matter what, it’s always good to work hard.
Liu Ziye couldn't help but rub his buzzing head and said helplessly, "Okay, open the door and carry the person inside... out carefully."
They stood here for a long time, but no sound came from the room.
I guess even if the people inside are not dead, they are probably only half alive.
"Yes, young marquis."
When the manager saw Liu Ziye speak, he hurriedly took out the key chain hanging around his waist and inserted the largest one into the keyhole. Amidst the sound of iron chains clashing, the wooden door creaked open.
A foul stench gushed out of the room as the wooden door opened.
The smell of human excrement mixed with solidified and spoiled blood rushed straight to the top of his head.
The steward suppressed the urge to vomit, and went in with two personal guards who stayed at the mansion, and together they carried the person out of the room.
Looking at the only son of the Fu family lying on the ground with his clothes torn, his body covered in filth, and lifeless, his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Liu Ziye’s eyes went dark.
I really want to just pass out like this...
What did the original owner do?
She needs to find out why the only son of the Fu family was imprisoned in the palace by the original owner. Right now, the most important thing is to rescue him!
"Save people first."
The idea of leaving the house to investigate Yucheng naturally gave up.
Liu Ziye went to the study alone and called Xizhao in. He asked her about the whole story, then let Xizhao out and locked himself in the study again.
To anyone who looked at him, the young marquis seemed to be reflecting on and punishing himself for his past actions.
When the Prince of Xiguan was in power, he would use this method of locking the young marquis in the study to discipline and punish the young marquis who made mistakes.
Alas, at that time, how could the young marquis be willing to be put in solitary confinement by the old prince?
Every time they would make a huge fuss, and every time they were released, they would shout that sooner or later they would burn down this study!
Now, he actually locked himself up on his own initiative. This is too much of a bastard for the young marquis to do. That was a living person!
If the King of Xiguan were here, he wouldn't let her off easily, no matter how much he doted on her. However, Liu Biao had just asked the steward for details. The young marquis had never expected, on the day he brought her back, that she would lie in bed for so long, only to wake up and experience such a series of catastrophic events, completely forgetting all about this matter...
Looking at the young marquis's current appearance, he must be feeling deeply guilty about what he had done.
In any case, the young marquis is very different now than before.
He would do his best to treat and take care of the young man. Liu Biao would stay by his side all day and all night, taking care of everything with his own hands, and invite the best doctors to his house every day, just to make sure that the young man who had suffered such an innocent disaster would be cured!
They are all born and raised by their parents. If the parents of this child knew...
Alas, Liu Biao couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking of this, the old butler Liu Biao couldn't help but wipe away his uncontrollable tears.
He looked hesitantly at the food basket in his hand, and finally gritted his teeth.
"Well, don't send this meal."
The person is still receiving treatment and hasn't even woken up yet.
How could the young marquis, who was so sincerely repentant, still be able to eat at this time?
Thinking so, the old butler turned and left.
Little did he know that in the study room behind him, Liu Ziye's stomach was making "gurgling" sounds, indicating his hunger.
Liu Ziye was puzzled: "It's already time for dinner, why hasn't the housekeeper sent anyone to deliver the food?"
