Chapter 432 Optimism
"I said Grandpa, can't you say something good?" Hearing Dean Fengtian's words, Feng Tongtong pouted.

"Hehe... Maybe this is just my unfounded worry, you don't have to take it to heart, anyway, it's always good to see the hope of saving Ji Youcai and the others.

Just pretend I didn't say what I said earlier! "Principal Fengtian also knew that he had spoken quickly and said something that shouldn't be said, so he couldn't help but slapped him.

"My lords, it's already time for the dinner. My master asked me to invite you to the table." The arrival of a servant broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Okay, since the master has invited us, let's go there! Although Hu Lai hasn't come back yet, we don't have to wait for him for the time being, because he has already left a message, and he probably won't come back today!"

……

In the banquet hall of the Xia family, when everyone entered under the leadership of the servants, the Patriarch of the Xia family happened to come from another direction.

Seeing the figures of several people, a smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone kept me waiting! I thought you left without saying goodbye! Please come in quickly! I have already asked my servants to prepare the dinner, and I am waiting for you to sit in!"

"Please trouble the Patriarch! It's the first time we've come to the imperial capital, and we're all very curious, so we went out for a walk. I didn't expect the Patriarch to be so concerned, but I was wrong!

I also hope that the Patriarch will be more generous! "Dean Fengtian said very politely.

"Where is there! You are Bing'er's mentor and classmates. It is my duty to treat you well. How can there be any kindness?" The Patriarch of the Xia family said with a smile.

"No need to be polite to me, please take a seat!"

The banquet was very sumptuous, and everyone had put down the heavy burden in their hearts, so they ate with a little more ease.

After everyone was full of wine and food, the Patriarch of the Xia family finally started talking about serious business.

"I think you all know that I went to meet the Emperor today."

Everyone nodded, and Dean Fengtian asked, "I don't know how the Patriarch's trip is going?"

"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news!" The head of the Xia family's face withdrew his smile slightly, and his expression looked a little serious.

"Master Patriarch, please speak!"

"The good news is that the emperor also doesn't believe that it was my daughter who murdered the third prince, so the two of them should not be in danger for the time being!"

"Master Dijun is wise!" Everyone looked at each other, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they said this sentence respectfully on the surface.

"Don't be too happy, I still have a bad news that I haven't told you!"

"I wonder what this bad news is..."

"Your Majesty, although I don't believe they did it, without any evidence, I can't clear them of suspicion for the time being!
The most important thing is that Lord Dijun thinks that my daughter...has an ambiguous relationship with that boy named Ji Youcai, so he wants to punish them! "

"Why?! Just because the two of them went on an adventure together?"

"This is just one aspect! In fact, Bing'er and the third prince are engaged! Not long after the third prince died, Bing'er had an ambiguous relationship with another man. If you were the emperor, what would you do? how to think?"

Hearing the words of the Patriarch of the Xia family, everyone fell silent.

"It's just a pity..." The Patriarch of the Xia family spoke halfway, then suddenly shook his head and didn't continue.

"What's the pity? Patriarch, you might as well just say it straight!" Dean Feng Tian said.

"My pity is that although our Xia family has a little contact with the Wen and Wu families, the relationship is not close. Otherwise, as long as we can persuade one of the families to come forward as a guarantor, my daughter and that boy Ji will definitely be married. It can be released!
It's just that, based on my current relationship with the other party, I don't have the capital to speak up at all! "The Patriarch of the Xia Family said, and heaved a long sigh.

"So that's it... But don't worry, head of the family. At least one of the civil and military families should stand up for them. When the time comes, just take your daughter back!" Seeing his appearance, Fengtianyuan Chang smiled and said.

"Huh?! Why are you so sure that one of the two of them will succeed?" After hearing his words, the Patriarch of the Xia family noticed the hidden meaning.

"Well... the adults in the family will know when the time comes, so please forgive me for keeping it a secret for now!"

The Patriarch of the Xia family looked at Dean Feng Tian, ​​was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Well, seeing how confident you are, I'll trust you just once!"

……

The prison in the imperial capital is not as chaotic and dirty as Ji Youcai imagined. In fact, because most of the people who can be imprisoned here are people with a certain status, no one knows which of these people will be released. Go out, so the environment of the sky prison is still okay. Although the jailers look fierce, they don't have the dark side of the sky prison that Ji Youcai heard about in movies and novels in his previous life.

——Maybe this is just a superficial phenomenon, but it is an indisputable fact that Ji Youcai and the others were not harmed.

"Youcai, do you believe me?" There is only a wall between the cell where Xia Bing is and Ji Youcai, so even if he speaks softly, the other party can hear him.

"Senior Sister Xia Bing, what do you mean by asking this? Of course I believe you?" Ji Youcai wondered why she would ask this question.

"That's good...Actually, there is something I forgot to tell you! Although I have always acted confidently, in fact I really have no bottom in my heart!
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, my father's status as the head of the Xia family is already high enough, but in fact, in the imperial capital, there are countless people with higher status than him!

Especially Lord Dijun, if my father wants to influence the other party's thoughts, it is simply impossible!
In other words, if there is no accident, as long as the charges against the two of us are established, then I am afraid that we will both be doomed..."

As Xia Bing spoke, his mood suddenly sank.

"Haha... What did I think? It turns out to be this. Are you worried that your father's strength won't be able to save the two of us?

To be honest, I am also a little worried about this, but what I want to say is that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!

We are blindly worrying here now, but it is just unfounded worrying!If it's not until the last moment, no one can tell in what direction things will develop!
So, instead of worrying about this or that, it's better to have a good sleep, get enough energy, and use the best state to meet everything that is coming! "
