I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"Yue'er, have you come into contact with people whose habits are different from those of us in Kyoto over the years? Or have you committed crimes against anyone?" Liu Zimo asked nervously.

Liu Yueru recalled carefully and shook her head, saying, "No, I was always in the Liu Mansion before I got married. The people I met were all people you know. After I got married, I was busy managing the backyard, taking care of my husband and children. Most of the business matters were left to Uncle Fu. Apart from meeting some noble ladies and ladies in Kyoto, I didn't meet anyone else, let alone make enemies with them."

"If I talk about offending people, I have really offended a few people, including Song Nanzhi, Liu Yunni, Yuan Qinglian and Princess Anlan. Maybe even the Queen Mother holds a grudge against me." Liu Yueru said carefully.

Liu Zhengtang's face became increasingly gloomy.

Xie Jingrui told the news he had gathered these days: "I have checked Aunt Zhao's identity. She was originally a princess from the Northern Frontier. Later, she sneaked into Kyoto and changed her name and forged her identity to become a spy. Finally, she tried every means to stay in Liu Mansion..."

"I am wondering if this treaty was proposed by Aunt Zhao in order to avenge Liu Yunni?"

Liu Zimo crossed his arms over his chest, thinking, "It's not impossible. With how much Aunt Zhao cares for Liu Yunni, and Liu Yunni's vengeful nature, she will definitely think of a way to take revenge."

just.

Liu Zhengtang sat aside for a long time before he reacted: "Zhao Wanyan is the princess of Northern Frontier? When I brought her back to the palace, I checked her thoroughly and didn't find anything abnormal. How did the prince find out that she was the princess of Northern Frontier?"

Xie Jingrui sighed softly, "Those people from the Northern Frontier are very cunning. They make everything they do on the surface watertight, so it's very difficult to find out. I only found out about Zhao Wanyan's true identity by chance, and it took a lot of time and manpower."

Liu Zhengtang clenched his hands suddenly. He never expected that his whole life of integrity could be deceived by a woman.

In an instant, Liu Zhengtang's expression became extremely ugly.

Xie Jingrui continued, "This is not your fault. If it were someone else, they would be the same. They might not be as vigilant as you. I have also checked. During her time in Liu Mansion, she did not find much useful information to report back to Northern Frontier. She designed the incident between me and Liu Yunni in order to allow Liu Yunni to successfully marry into the Prince of Jin's Mansion."

"They were able to get more information about the upper class in Kyoto, but they all made a wrong calculation. Those confidential things are guarded by secret guards in the palace, and outsiders are not allowed to approach them at will."

“If they are the ones behind the scenes instigating to bring Yue’er back to Northern Frontier, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple. Their ultimate goal should not just be Yue’er.” Liu Zimo said as he looked at Xie Jingrui with dark eyes.

"The emperor hasn't made this matter public yet, which means there is still room for maneuver. I think Yue'er should find a good family and marry herself off during this period of time, so as to shut up the important ministers. This way, the emperor won't think of using Yue'er to exchange for their gunpowder formula." Xie Jingrui looked at Liu Yueru meaningfully.

How could Liu Yueru not know the hidden meaning of his words? This method was indeed a good way to protect herself.

gunpowder?

A person quickly flashed through Liu Yueru's mind. In her previous life, there was a man in strange clothes in West City who claimed that he could make explosives. If he was spared and given food to eat, he would develop the recipe.

That time, she happened to go to Wanfuji Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Because of the explosion he caused in West City, which killed some innocent civilians, the officers and soldiers thought he was a foreigner who came to cause trouble and beat him to death.

Liu Yueru narrowed her eyes slightly. If that person was telling the truth, perhaps our Kyoto would not be so passive when negotiating with the Northern Frontier.

"Father, can you lend me your four treasures of the study?" Liu Yueru thought of that and quickly stood up and asked.

Gu Zhengruang didn't understand what she was going to do, so he gave his seat to her.

Liu Yueru took the brush and started to draw the man's appearance on the rice paper.

She was thinking and painting at the same time, and almost an incense stick of time passed.

Liu Yueru stopped writing with the brush, blew the ink on the rice paper dry, and then handed it to Xie Jingrui: "A few days ago, I dreamed of this man in the gate who said he could make gunpowder and caused an explosion at a city gate somewhere. Your Majesty, you can ask your subordinates to check the gates to see if there is a man like this and bring him back. If he really can make gunpowder, then we can change our passive situation, and the people in Northern Xinjiang will not dare to endanger us with gunpowder or anything like that."

Xie Jingrui took the portrait from her hand and said, "I will have someone draw a few more of this portrait later and distribute them to my subordinates."

Gu Zhengtang felt that it was inappropriate: "Those were all your dreams. You can't pin your hopes on a dream. If they are all false, it won't be easy to come up with a solution then."

Liu Zimo believed in Liu Yueru's dream. After all, the dreams she talked about had all come true. "Why not give it a try? It only takes a few pieces of rice paper and a few more portraits. When we investigate again, we can check to see if there is that person. It doesn't cost much."

"Besides, the dreams Yue'er mentioned a few times before have all come true, as well as the locust plague. One of the places where locusts are kept is the back mountain of Wanfu Temple, which has been discovered. If Yue'er hadn't dreamed of these things in advance and designed to make the emperor believe them, the emperor would not have issued an order to risk the people collecting grain in advance."

"We must consider other ways. In my opinion, the best way is to get married, preferably to a man with a good official position." Xie Jingrui continued.

Liu Zimo's eyes fell on Xie Jingrui and his expression became a little strange.

Gu Zhengtang sighed softly, "How can we find a good marriage for Yue'er right now? The emperor has ordered a divorce, but people don't think so. I wanted Yue'er to stay by our side and raise her for the rest of her life, but now something like this has happened. It's all my fault for letting a wolf into the house and harming Yue'er."

Liu Yueru stepped forward and held her father's hand. He had done enough for his children in this world. She said in a hoarse voice, "Father, don't say that. Those people did it on purpose. We can't defend ourselves."

Xie Jingrui stood aside feeling helpless. He had made his words so clearly, yet no one appreciated them.

He wanted to open his mouth to say it again, but he saw Liu Yueru looking up at him leisurely, with an obvious warning in her eyes.

Xie Jingrui froze in place, his thin lips tightly pursed.

"If there is really no other way, your father will find someone to find a suitable husband for you these days. Let you escape this disaster first, and then we can talk about other things." Gu Zhengtang raised his hand and touched Liu Yueru's hair.

Then he led the group to the dining room.

Xie Jingrui followed them with a gloomy look on his face.
