Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Chapter 167 He Shuzhen was threatened to save people

"I just said, this is your business, you find a way to solve it, I just want the result." The leader let go of He Shuzhen. He drugged He Shuzhen so he wasn't afraid that she would run away.

He Shuzhen had explained countless times. She had completely given up resistance: "Who are you? Why did you ask me to help you?"

"You have no right to tell me who I am. Just do as I say and find a way to rescue Tan Shaocong and Zhong Ming from the cell."

He Shuzhen looked embarrassed. She knew very well that He Shulan would definitely not help her.

Seeing the man in front of her seemed determined to let her go, she couldn't refute: "I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, you can think of other ways."

The leader looked at He Shuzhen expressionlessly. His cold gaze was like a sharp sword, stabbing He Shuzhen fiercely: "If you can't complete the task, I will kill you with one blow."

He Shuzhen turned pale with fear. In order to save her life, she would try her best: "I know what to do."

"Good to know." The leader turned and left the alley.

He Shuzhen's legs went limp and she squatted on the ground. Faced with such a situation, she didn't know what to do.

She escaped from here, but she was poisoned and without an antidote, she still couldn't survive.

I really don’t know why I am so unlucky to encounter such a thing.

"Madam." Xiaoyu came over breathlessly: "Where is the man who took you away?"

He Shuzhen came to her senses and stood up: "He has left."

"That man was so bold that he actually kidnapped you in public." Xiaoyu glanced at He Shuzhen and saw that she had no injuries.

Only then was he completely relieved: "Madam, why don't you shout for help? Shout for help and let the people around you come to save you."

"I wanted to, but that man ran so fast that I couldn't even react."

Xiaoyu did not continue the topic: "Since you are fine, let's leave quickly. What if that man comes back later?"

He Shuzhen didn't care much. She was poisoned, so it didn't matter whether the man came back or not.

He left with Xiaoyu cautiously and returned to Liu Mansion.

Liu Chen led his fourth concubine and packed up the things in the Liu Mansion, and saw He Shuzhen coming over.

He walked up to her and yelled, "Where have you been? Hurry up and pack up your things in the room. We will be back to the countryside in two days."

Before, He Shuzhen was clamoring not to reply, but now there is no way for her to reply.

If she were given another chance, she would definitely agree to go back to the countryside with Liu Chen, pack her things at home obediently, and never run away.

But it was too late to say anything now, and she didn't know how to explain to Liu Chen: "I can't go with you now."

Liu Chen was tired of the words of persuasion and didn't want to continue: "Do whatever you want." After saying that, he ignored He Shuzhen and went to his aunt's yard angrily.

He Shuzhen closed the door and locked herself in the room. She stayed there for two days and two nights before coming out.

He dressed neatly and went to the Prince's Mansion to find He Shulan.

He Shulan looked at He Shuzhen who was sitting there silently, not understanding what He Shuzhen wanted to do by coming to her without saying anything.

He Shuzhen didn't speak, and she didn't speak either.

The two sat in the living room, staring at each other.

After struggling for a long time, He Shuzhen finally spoke first. For the sake of her own life, she had to bow her head: "I came here to find you today. I want to ask you for help with something."

"You come to the Prince's Mansion to ask me for help every few days. Isn't it enough that I rejected you? You are still not awake." He Shulan said this directly.

No matter what He Shuzhen came to her for help, she didn't want to help.

If it were the arrogant He Shuzhen of the past, she would definitely turn against him and leave, never to see him again.

But her life was now in someone's hands, so she had no choice but to give in: "Only you can help with this matter."

He Shuzhen had already come to the door, and He Shulan was also sitting here. It was a little too late to kick her out at this time: "What do you want me to do for you?"

He Shuzhen was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I have two friends who have been arrested and put in jail. Go to the princess and help me speak up for her to release them."

"Puff," He Shulan spit out the tea she had drunk. "I can't manage the affairs of the government office. Besides, the people who were arrested have committed crimes. Even though the status of a prince is noble, it is impossible for him to use his privileges to release the prisoners."

He Shuzhen continued to persuade: "It's not like the prince was allowed to release them openly. He found a reason, or let those two people fake their death, so that they can be released from the cell."

"What do you think the yamen is? Is the prison a place where you can go in and out as you please? The yamen guards are very strict, and I don't want to get involved in this mess. You should go find someone else to help. I can't do anything about this matter."

He Shulan didn't even ask what the prisoner had done. She just refused and didn't want to continue the topic.

He Shuzhen, who was unwilling to give up, continued patiently: "If someone else could help me, I wouldn't come to you. These two people are really important to me. Can you help me for my father's sake?"

At this point, He Shulan had to help, but she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the government office. She planned to ask first and then decide based on the situation: "What did your two friends do wrong?"

This question stumped He Shuzhen. The man only told her the names of the prisoners but did not tell her what crimes the two men had committed to be thrown into the cell.

After thinking for a long time, she still didn't know what excuse to use, so she made one up. When He Shulan went to the cell, she found that it was not the case.

Ignoring her would be fine, but the two men would not be able to get out of the cell by then: "They were arrested temporarily, and the government office did not allow people to visit them, so I don't know what they did wrong?"

He Shulan: “…”, this He Shuzhen came here deliberately to cause trouble!

She doesn’t even know what crime the prisoner Lian has committed, so how can she help save people?

He Shuzhen showed an embarrassed look on her face: "I'll tell you my name."

"Go ahead!" He Shulan looked helpless.

"My two friends are called Tan Shaocong and Zhong Ming."

He Shulan, who was sitting in the seat of honor, instantly became uneasy. She didn't know why a military strategist, who was sought after by all countries, was thrown into a cell.

I don’t know how He Shuzhen knew Tan Shaocong: “When did you and Tan Shaocong meet?”

"Uh..." He Shuzhen didn't know Tan Shaocong at all, so she made up an excuse: "We have known each other for many years. I have long forgotten how we met."

He Shulan felt that He Shuzhen was lying, but she couldn't find any evidence.
