A woman's chastity is more important than her life.

?

So Xie Liuzheng never dared to ask Xie Xiangyu whether she was Qin Guangjin's biological child.

?

Asking would be tantamount to questioning Xie Xiangyu's innocence, which would be a great insult to Xie Xiangyu.

?

Today, I almost fell into Qin Guangjin and Chen Baobao's evil scheme and ruined my innocence. I finally couldn't help but ask.

?

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiangyu was stunned.

?

After a long while, she said in a low voice with a complicated expression: "Liu Zheng, there are some things you don't need to ask. Regardless of whether you are Qin Guangjin's biological child or not, what he did to you is unforgivable. Mother will definitely seek justice for you."

?

Without denial, there is affirmation.

?

Xie Liuzheng asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, who is my biological father? Why doesn't he want us?"

?

"Liu Zheng!" Xie Xiangyu stopped Xie Liu Zheng from asking further questions, and then she softened her tone to coax her, "Mother shouldn't yell at you, but some things can't be explained in just a few words. Later... when you are older, I will tell you in detail."

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't bear to force Xie Xiangyu, so she suppressed all the doubts in her heart and said softly, "Mother, please let your daughter handle Qin Guangjin's matter. You believe that your daughter will not let that thief go."

?

Xie Xiangyu stared at Xie Liuzheng for a long while, and seeing her increasingly determined expression, she sighed, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but I feel bad that you have to face all this alone at such a young age."

?

Xie Liuzheng smiled and helped Xie Xiangyu back to her room, "Mother, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to gain experience, but you have someone protecting me behind my back."

?

Xie Xiangyu didn't expect that all her arrangements were seen by Xie Liuzheng. She felt emotional and touched. She stroked Xie Liuzheng's hair and said, "You should go back to your room and tidy up. I have to go to the factory later. You should go to bed early."

?

When Xie Liuzheng came out from Xie Xiangyu's place, he met Fang Cheng who had been waiting outside for a long time. His expression immediately turned cold.

?

"Have you made arrangements with Second Sister Li?"

?

Fang Cheng bowed his head and replied, "It's all arranged, but Sister Li was worried that if the drug was too strong, someone might die. I repeatedly assured her that I would give her a large sum of money and send her to a safe place, and that I would definitely not involve her in a lawsuit. Only then did she agree to do it."

?

Li Erjie is not one of us, so we can't help but worry about the key points. Xie Liuzheng said in a deep voice: "Pay more attention to Li Erjie and don't let her make any mistakes. You can tell her directly that the scapegoat has been prepared. She just needs to follow the instructions and I will protect her. Afterwards, you can personally send her away from Yangzhou."

?

Fang Cheng said "yes" again.

?

Xie Liuzheng paused and continued, "Doesn't Chen Baobao like gambling? Give him something sweet to try. This time I want one of his hands."

?

Fang Cheng's heart trembled, and he lowered his head even deeper, "Don't worry, Miss, I will make proper arrangements."

?

After sending Fang Cheng away, Xie Liuzheng let out a long sigh and told Qiuyue to bring hot water for a bath.

?

After washing and changing clothes, Xie Liuzheng felt much better. Somehow he remembered the cold eyes of the man in men's clothes again. He regretted that he was too flustered at that time and forgot to ask him his name. If he wanted to repay his kindness in the future, he would not know where to find him.

?

Little did he know that the man in black was in Mr. Pei's study at this time.

?

"The medical skills of Imperial Doctor Pei are unmatched. Mr. Pei has inherited the true medical skills and can be called a famous doctor of his generation. Please help me with this. I will definitely give you a generous gift to thank you. Even if Mr. Pei wants to return to the Imperial Hospital, I will definitely make your wish come true."

?

The man in black spoke sincerely, then stood up and bowed to Mr. Pei.

?

Mr. Pei jumped away in panic, not daring to accept his gift.

?

"I am just a commoner now, how dare I accept the gift from the prince? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

?

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I've been dull since I was a child. If my father's medical skills are 100%, I've only learned 10%. I really don't dare to show off my skills in front of an expert. I'm afraid it will delay your important matter. Please find another good doctor."

?

Seeing that Mr. Pei was determined not to help, the man in black had to leave.

?

The subordinate was waiting outside the door. Seeing the black-clothed man's face was not looking good, he guessed that Mr. Pei would refuse, so he whispered a suggestion, "I heard that this place is the property of the Xie family. When Mr. Pei was in trouble, he met the eldest lady of the Xie family who helped him. Would you like to meet the girl of the Xie family and ask her to persuade Mr. Pei?"

?

The man in black hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. "That's the only way."

?

The man in black had never been willing to deal with women, but for important matters he had to take the initiative to meet Xie Liuzheng. He had made plans before they met. Businessmen value profit, so after they met he directly asked Xie Liuzheng what her requests were. As long as they were not too excessive, he would try his best to satisfy her.

?

The subordinate went there once and came back to say that Xie Liuzheng refused to meet the man in black.

?

"The woman from the Xie family said that men and women should not touch each other, not to mention that she and the prince have never met before. It would damage her reputation if she rashly met. Please... please respect yourself, prince."

?

The man in black almost laughed out of anger when he heard this.

?

This girl from the Xie family takes herself too seriously. There are all kinds of beauties in the capital, so is it worth it for him to travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou to meet her in private?

?

Judging from the black-clothed man's personality, he would definitely ignore Xie Liuzheng.

?

But now he had to ask for help from others, so he had to control his temper and ordered his subordinates to make another appointment with Xie Liuzheng, promising that as long as she agreed to meet, he would make the Xie family an imperial merchant.

?

The subordinate was eager to complete the black-clothed man's order, and didn't care that it was already night time. He used his light skills to sneak to Xie Liuzheng's window without anyone noticing.

?

Xie Liuzheng had just laid down on the bed, thinking of the various experiences in the wine shop during the day, and was angry and resentful, and was thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his plan. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the window frame, and he immediately became alert and shouted to Qiuyue and others.

?

The subordinate had no choice but to return empty-handed to meet the man in black.

?

The man in black cursed, "Your brain has been eaten by a pig. You went to knock on a woman's window in the middle of the night. You're lucky you ran fast without being beaten up as a lecher."

?

"Tomorrow you will formally send a letter to the Xie family girl on my behalf, and I will go to meet her in person."

?

"She is just a merchant's daughter, but I have troubled the prince to visit her in person. I am incompetent." The subordinate left in a depressed mood and sent a note to the Xie family early the next morning.

?

Of course, the real identity of the man in black could not be stated, so he borrowed the title of a Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Revenue.

?

He only said that he came to select silk for the nobles in the palace next year and wanted to meet Xie Liuzheng for a face-to-face interview.

?

The servant excitedly handed the invitation to Xie Liuzheng, "Miss, this is a great thing. If we are chosen, our Xie family will become an imperial merchant. We can get rid of the merchant status and become an official. In the future, we will be more respectable in front of those ladies."

?

Xie Liuzheng was really excited for a moment, but quickly calmed down. He suspected that Qin Guangjin's evil plan yesterday had failed, and he had changed his tactics to trap the Xie family.

?

If the Ministry of Revenue really sent people to select silk, they would have been received by government officials and the merchants would have been summoned to send their selections to the officials of the Ministry of Revenue for selection. There would have been no need for a Yuanwailang to personally visit the merchants to discuss the selections.
