The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

After hearing his words, Xia Younan fell silent. Thinking of what Qu Xiaoyou had just said, he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"

This man was wearing official uniform and looked like an official. The person Xiao You killed turned out to be someone's only son. This was going to be a difficult situation.

Chan Mu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He turned to Qu Xiaoyou and asked coldly, "Is what he said true? Did you really kill his son?"

Qu Xiaoyou felt that she had nothing to hide, so she readily admitted, "Kill him, is there a problem?"

"You!" Zenmu's face was irritated, and he angrily accused her, "How can you take such a matter of life and death so lightly?"

Qu Xiaoyou shrugged his shoulders and explained with an indifferent expression: "I was out strolling this morning and saw a hooligan bullying a girl. I couldn't stand it, so I stabbed the hooligan to death with a sword.

"I saw injustice and acted for justice. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Why can't I just downplay it?"

Hearing her say this, Chanmu's expression eased a little, but he still couldn't understand her behavior. He glared at her and rebuked her: "Civilians who break the law should be punished by the government. How can you take someone's life without permission?"

Qu Xiaoyou was getting impatient, her eyebrows furrowed, she suppressed her anger and yelled at him: "Why are you making so much trouble? Didn't you just kill a gangster? I have killed so many bad guys that I can't even count them on my hands, and no one dared to do anything to me."

"You!" Zenmu's face turned pale and blue due to her choking. He stared at her angrily, unable to respond.

He came from a civilized modern society and had never seen anyone who treated human life so worthless.

Although he had seen her always holding a sword in her hand in the past, he still found it hard to accept when he learned that she had actually killed a living person.

"What nonsense!" Shangshu Tao Fengzheng shouted angrily after hearing Qu Xiaoyou's words, and retorted indignantly, "My son is well-behaved and well-educated, how could he bully a girl? You are clearly looking for an excuse for your disregard for human life!"

Qu Xiaoyou glanced at him and snorted coldly, her expression full of disdain.

She was too lazy to argue with such people. She had never been afraid of anyone in her life. If they dared to catch her, she would kill them all!

Her contemptuous look was like adding fuel to the fire. Tao Feng was almost fainted by her anger. With a red face and thick neck, he ordered his men: "Catch him for me!"

"Wait a minute!" Xia Younan made a "stop" gesture to him, then put his hands on his hips and faced the temple, breathing deeply and letting out a deafening roar.

"Lu Xiuyuan! Come out here!"

Lu Xiuyuan, who was taking a nap in the backyard, was startled when he heard the sound and quickly ran to the door.

As he ran, he thought, which unlucky guy had made his wife angry? The world is so beautiful, why is he so depressed?

He trotted all the way to the door. Shangshu Tao Feng was surprised to see him coming, but then his face changed and he knelt down to pay homage to him: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Why are you here?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at him and ignored him. He walked to Xia Younan, took her hand and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? What happened?"

Xia Younan raised his finger and pointed at Tao Fengzheng who was kneeling on the ground. He angrily told him what had happened, hoping that he would make a decision.

When she spoke, Tao Fengzheng was not willing to be outdone. He knelt on the ground and cried to Lu Xiuyuan with tears and snot. He cried so hard that his heart was broken, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

After listening to what happened, Lu Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, looked at Tao Fengzheng and said coldly: "Ms. Qu said that it was your son who bullied the girl first, but you said that this did not happen?"

"That's absolutely not true!" Tao Feng was waving his hands to deny it, pointing at Qu Xiaoyou standing beside him and gritting his teeth in anger.

"Your Highness, this woman is making up stories to accuse my son. My son and the servants went out to play this morning. He didn't see any girl at all. How could he bully and tease her? The servants can all testify to this."

After he finished speaking, he winked at the servants behind him, and the servants knelt on the ground, nodding their heads one after another, "Yes, yes, yes, we accompanied the young master on a tour, and we didn't see any girls at all, so there was no such thing as bullying a girl."

Qu Xiaoyou's eyes turned cold and she opened her mouth to say something.

Lu Xiuyuan raised his hand to stop her from saying the next thing, and continued to say to Tao Fengzheng: "Your own servants cannot be considered as witnesses, how about I find a witness for you?"

"Your Highness... where can we find witnesses?" Tao Fengzheng asked with an extremely grim expression.

He never expected that Lu Xiuyuan would show up halfway. Lu Xiuyuan's princess seemed to have a close relationship with that bitch, so he was afraid that she would have to protect him!

Lu Xiuyuan replied: "Of course we should go find that girl. She is the victim and the best witness to explain the situation. Why don't we go find her and ask her, what does the Minister think?"

Tao Fengzheng pursed his lips and thought for a while, then nodded heavily, "Okay, let's do as the prince said, but what should be the result if the witness is found or not?"

Lu Xiuyuan replied, “If the so-called girl cannot be found, I will no longer interfere in this matter.

“If we can find that girl and prove that it was your son who bullied her first, then Miss Qu Xiaoyou will have cleared the door for the Shangshu.

"Sir Shangshu, please do not pursue Miss Qu any further. How about that?"

Tao Fengzheng rolled his eyes, a meaningful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll do as your Highness says. I hope your Highness will keep his word."

"Of course." Lu Xiuyuan responded, looked at Qu Xiaoyou and asked, "Where did you save that girl? Do you know where that girl's home is?"

Qu Xiaoyou nodded and replied, "It's at Lijia Bay at the foot of the mountain. I rescued the girl by the river and personally sent her back home."

"Very good, then take us to find that girl." Lu Xiuyuan requested.

Qu Xiaoyou agreed, holding the sword and leading the way down the mountain, and everyone followed.

Chanmu didn't want to participate, but was dragged away by Xia Younan.

The group came to Lijia Bay at the foot of the mountain in a mighty procession. Qu Xiaoyou led them to a house with ease and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door creaked open and an old woman appeared in front of everyone.

The woman was about forty years old, dressed in coarse cloth, with red eyes and deep sadness between her eyebrows, as if she had just cried.

The woman looked at the people outside the door curiously. When she saw Tao Fengzheng behind Qu Xiaoyou, her pupils shrank and a look of fear flashed across her face.

Qu Xiaoyou didn't notice her abnormality and asked directly, "Auntie, do you still remember me? I was the one who brought your daughter back this morning."

The woman swallowed her saliva, looked at her with a somewhat evasive look, and denied it flatly: "No... I don't know you. Who are you? I have never seen you before."

"What?!" Qu Xiaoyou couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Auntie, are you sure? It's only been half a day, how could you not remember me?

"When I brought your bullied daughter back this morning, you thanked me profusely and even said you would keep me for dinner. Have you forgotten that?"
