Enemies are reborn

Yu Yin handed over the marriage letter written by Zhao Xiran, carefully preventing the Xiao family from tearing it up.

Xiao Mingwang read the marriage letter from beginning to end many times, only noticed Xie Yu's name, but never realized that it was written by Zhao Xiran, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "Teacher Xie is serious?"

Yu Yin immediately asked: "Master Xiao, how does our husband express his sincerity?"

Xiao Mingwang couldn't say it anymore, Xie Yu's temper was unbearable to ordinary people, just because of her ability as a woman in a high position, Ah Ning would not be too bad to marry her, but Xie Yu was just kidding.While hesitating, seeing Zhao Xiran's name on the marriage letter, he gasped, hurriedly covered the three words, and said to Yu Yin: "Why does Zhao Xiran decide who my daughter will marry?"

When the words fell to the ground, Luo Shi walked in supported by Xiao Wenxue, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mingwang kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything, instead he stuffed the marriage certificate into Yu Yin's hand, pretending to be a gesture: "Since there is nothing wrong, you can go back first."

"Mrs. Xiao came just in time, my husband came to fulfill the engagement." Yu Yin ignored Xiao Mingwang's attitude and handed over the marriage letter.

Xiao Wenxue saw something was wrong from Xiao Mingwang's expression, first took the marriage certificate to read, and after reading it, she understood what Xiao Mingwang was thinking, and said subconsciously: "Mr., did you make a mistake? A-Ning is the daughter of the Xiao family, not her surname. Zhao."

"But Zhao Erdong's family regards Miss Xiao as the mother, and Princess Gao Yang was the witness when they wrote the marriage letter." Yu Yin's words were resounding.

Luo Shi was furious when he took the marriage letter, and was about to tear it into pieces without even thinking about it. Yu Yin snatched it quickly with sharp eyesight, and half of his life's happiness is on this piece of paper.

Seeing that she was robbed, the Luo family was so angry that she ignored it and said: "Xiao Kunning is my child, even if she becomes an aunt, it will not be her Zhao Xiran's turn to make the decision. I don't recognize this marriage."

Yu Yin put away the marriage certificate, and slowly said: "It's okay, my husband expected that the two of you would not agree, so I will ask His Majesty to make the decision tomorrow, and I will leave."

Xiao Ming looked at his forehead, Xiao Wenxue frowned, Mr. was too anxious, she comforted Luo Shi and said: "I saw Aning came back yesterday and didn't mention this matter, presumably she doesn't know."

"That's right, it's probably decided by Zhao Xiran and the Taifu, you calm down first, I'll go and ask the Taifu what he means." Xiao Mingwang walked down the steps, lest his wife go to find Ah Ning again.

Luo Shi was so angry that his face turned pale, he didn't care about other matters, so he turned around and went to settle accounts with Xiao Kunning.

It was only when I went to Beiyuan that I found out that there was no one in the house, and Xiao Kunning had eaten at the mansion early in the morning. She sneered and said: "Sure enough, he was raised by a merchant, so there is no word of rules in his heart, and there will be no shadow on the second day after returning to the mansion. Don't wait. Tell the door that she is not allowed to come in."

Xiao Wenxue sensed that something was wrong, and patted Luo Shi's slightly panting back, "Mother said something angry, no matter how bad Ah Ning was, it was born by you, but she liked to play a little bit, and she brought you a lot of good things when she came back." things, you calm down."

"Don't say nice things, stay away from her, so as not to get bad habits, don't try to say nice things to her, if you don't want to come back, don't come back." Luo Shi brushed Xiao Wenxue's hand away angrily.

Xiao Wenxue didn't go after her either, and asked her maid to prepare the carriage, and went to Xie's mansion first to inquire.

What on earth did Xie Yu want to do? Knowing that Luo Shi didn't like Zhao Xiran, he took the marriage letter written by her to apply for the engagement.

After Xiao's carriage arrived at Xie's mansion, Nongqin specially came to greet her, and said first: "Mister is not at the mansion, let me tell you that Miss Xiao Er has her own place to go."

Xie Yu made arrangements for Aning's whereabouts, Xiao Wenxue had nothing to say, and went back the same way.

And Xiao Kunning was invited away by Zhao Can.

Since Zhao Can parted ways with Wen Yuke that day, he returned to Chang'an City and stayed with Wang Qingqing every day.

The two made an appointment at the restaurant, Xiao Kunning shook the wine cup boringly, Zhao Can and Wang Qingqing were facing each other, leaning on each other's shoulders, their eyes met.

Zhao Can smiled and said, "Sister Xiao, how is Jiangnan's investigation going? I heard it's the Yan family?"

When it came to serious matters, Xiao Kunning raised his eyelids willingly, took a small sip of his wine, and said, "It seems to be the case." Zhao Can always knew a lot, and this time was no exception.

Zhao Can's eyes were clear, she wrapped her small arms around Wang Qingqing's, and unconsciously rubbed against her, and said to Xiao Kunning, "Did you bring back all the account books?"

"No." Xiao Kunning said frankly, the little girl on the opposite side smiled at Yan Yan, her clear eyes caught a hint of inquiry, when did Zhao Can care about the affairs of the court.If she hadn't been dragged into the case by Xie Yu, she wouldn't have known at all that Zhao Can loves to play even more than she does. Has she changed her temper?

Zhao Can picked up a piece of snack in her white hands and put it into Wang Qingqing's mouth. She squinted her eyes and smiled, and said cheerfully, "If you didn't bring it back, it must be in Mr. Wen's hands. I heard that you are married to your husband?"

"It's nothing, it's Gu Dong's family marrying a wife." Xiao Kunning refused to admit it.

Zhao Can snorted and said, "But Taifu Xie told my father that he is engaged to you."

Xiao Kunning rolled his eyes: "Mr. Xie was struck by lightning."

"Oh?" Zhao Can dragged out his voice and shook his head: "I don't believe it. My husband has liked you for a long time. Why did she never scold you when you slept in her class? I just don't care about you because I love you. Sir is also good, but his temper is a little weird, I heard that the emperor's brother wants to make her queen. You said that she is so anxious to get engaged, is it because you want to dispel the emperor's idea of ​​making a queen?"

"Use me as a cover?" Xiao Kunning asked suspiciously.

Holding the snack, Zhao Can pursed her lips tightly, hesitated to speak, and finally made up her mind to deny it: "No, sir wouldn't do that, it should be because he really likes you."

Xiao Kunning did not speak anymore, Xie Yu is used to calculating people's hearts, and it is not strange to calculate her.

After talking for a while, Xiao Kunning really couldn't stand the two's greasy behavior, so he left the restaurant first.

After walking out of the restaurant for a while, I saw Su's medicine shop opened, and the doctor in charge was Su Ying.She decided to check it out and walked into the pharmacy.

Most of the people who came to see a doctor in Su's pharmacy were poor people, wearing rough linen and ragged clothes. When Xiao Kunning entered, the drug boy was distributing medicine to the patients, and Su Ying was taking pulse.

When Su Ying saw the strange guest, she asked someone else to check her pulse and led her to sit in the backyard.

The backyard was extremely quiet. A big tree blocked the hot summer sun. The two sat down under the tree. Su Ying said first, "Why are you here?"

"Come here, how are you and Mr. Gu's family doing?" Xiao Kunning asked kindly.

"We're married. Mr. Gu is in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The case is not small. I'm afraid he won't get out. Just colluding with Lu Jun is not a light thing. Even if Gu Ning takes the initiative to hand over the account books, it's useless. Gu Ning thinks about it. We are fine too, how are you and Mr. Xie doing?" Su Ying smiled lightly, her tone as gentle as before.

Asked about Xie Yu, Xiao Kunning sneered: "Mr. Xie is clever and resourceful, and he is scheming, how can I compare to it?"

"It's weird, Mr. Xie just doesn't know how to please girls. She has deep thoughts about you. These days, I heard Gu Ning talk about her childhood, and I heard that Xie Yu often misses a little girl. The little girl is stupid. Some, and love to play, and somehow came to Chang'an City, so she came."

Xiao Kunning was not convinced: "Where am I stupid?"

Su Ying laughed: "You admit that you are the girl Xie Yu remembers?"

"I..." Xiao Kunning couldn't refute anymore, the old purse really belonged to her, it was embroidered for her by Zhao Xiran.She had forgotten it a long time ago, but Zhao Xiran still had the memory.

Su Ying stared at the bright girl: "I heard that you liked Mr. Xie before?"

"No." Xiao Kunning flatly denied that this was something from the previous life and had nothing to do with this life.

Su Ying didn't believe it: "You denied it too quickly, so you can see that there are ghosts in your heart. Xie Yu is not good in anything, but his heart for you is true. Xie Yu has always been scheming since elementary school, and no one taught her how to love. It's easy to like, but the difficulty lies in how the person you like also likes you. Xie Yu looks smart, but he's actually stubborn."

Xiao Kunning fell silent, Xie Yu was ruthless and merciless in his actions, but in fact he was a single-minded person who did not care about the consequences of his actions.

Su Ying said again: "Xiao Kunning, why don't you teach her how to like someone."

"I teach?" Xiao Kunning couldn't believe it.

The girl opposite is neither stupid nor smart, but that bright face is fascinating.The world loves her face so much, but what Xie Yu loves is her stupidity.

Su Ying saw through, stood up and said, "Teach her how to please a girl, instead of pushing that girl further and further into the arms of other people."

The drug boy in front came to call for someone, Su Ying was in a hurry to see the patient, and Xiao Kunning didn't want to delay, as long as she knew everything was fine with her and Gu Ning.

After leaving Su's pharmacy, Su Ying's words always echoed in his ears, Xie Yu's cleverness was used to make troubles, and he couldn't think of other things.

Xiao Wenxue, who came back from the Xie Mansion, went to the restaurant and did not find Xiao Kunning, but only saw Zhao Can and a strange girl. She did not dare to tell the truth, she lied and left.Looking for someone along the street, I saw Xiao Kunning outside Su's pharmacy.

Xiao Kunning was preoccupied, and Xiao Wenxue called her to get in the car anxiously. The calm and unchanging rules in the past had long been forgotten. She was anxious to tell what happened in the mansion, and finally had to blame: "You What Mr. Xie thinks, marriage is not a child's play."

"Xie Yu likes to make troubles, so let her do it. You didn't tell Zhao Can about these things, did you?" Xiao Kunning didn't care about Xie Yu's troubles at all. It was just now that Zhao Can had something to say, and after thinking all this way, he finally understood that Xie Yu didn't want to be a queen. There are a thousand ways to dispel Huang's thoughts, and there is no need to use her as a cover.

Zhao Can's mind is abnormal.

Xiao Wenxue frowned, and said: "I didn't dare to say it outside, you don't go back either, wait until mother's anger subsides. Do you want to go back to Moxiangzhai?"

Xiao Kunning suddenly became a free man, and he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. If he hadn't just returned from Jiangnan, he really wanted to go play again.

"If you don't go back, I'll ask Xie Yu to get the marriage certificate back."

Xiao Wenxue's heart skipped a beat: "A'Ning, you can try it, remember to get out early."

At that time, if you can't get the marriage certificate back, and you don't come out yourself, you will be in trouble.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xie's mansion, and Xiao Wenxue came out constantly, so she didn't dare to stay to waste time.

Xiao Kunning entered through the main entrance openly, and Yu Yin greeted him warmly and courteously, and asked the maid to take out the cakes and fruits that had been prepared a long time ago, and greeted her with a smile: "Sir, you will be back at dusk."

Xiao Kunning suddenly laughed and said: "Sister Yu Yin's enthusiasm makes me a little uncomfortable. You don't need to wait for Mr., just give me the marriage certificate."

Yu Yin, who didn't have time to serve the tea, just put his face down and begged: "Girl, don't make things difficult for me, can you make it?"

Xie Yu is a fine person, and Yu Yin is almost the same.Xiao Kunning understood from the bottom of her heart that Yu Yin was not a simple person. Compared with playing the piano, she thought she was dead at first, which made her feel sad for a while, "Then I will wait for Xie Yu to come back."

Only then did Yu Yin heave a sigh of relief, and passed the brewed tea to her. When she wanted to ask her if she would stay for dinner, she saw her change hands and smashed the tea cup.

Got mad.

Yu Yin backed away, the husband guessed it right, and ordered her to put away the precious furnishings in the house in advance, she smiled: "As long as the girl is happy."

Xiao Kunning raised her eyes: "If Xie Yu doesn't return my marriage certificate, I can burn this place down."

Yu Yin's face remained the same and said: "You are burning your own money."

"Stop talking sarcastic, I heard that Lord Wen is coming back soon?" Xiao Kunning sat back in his seat, seeing Yu Yin's undistressed expression, he knew that she must have taken precautions in advance, and it would be meaningless to smash it.

When Mr. Wen Yuke was mentioned inexplicably, Yu Yin couldn't laugh anymore, "It seems so."

"Tell you sir, I was kicked out by my family, and I will live in Wen's house tonight. I will leave when she returns the marriage certificate to me." Xiao Kunning consciously found a way. Xie Yu is shameless, and she can also be shameless .

****

Xie Yu felt uneasy in the criminal department. The account books of the Gu family were just a drop in the ocean, and the case could not be settled at all. Now he was looking at the account books in Wen Yuke's hands.

Sun Zhizhou was also imprisoned, but he gritted his teeth tightly and refused to say a single unnecessary word.

The Ministry of Punishment is not a gentle town, and at least one layer of skin must be shed when entering. The yamen servants used the torture once to pry out something.

Xie Yu walked into the cell slowly, the familiar smell of blood made her frown inadvertently, she covered her nose and approached the person on the wooden frame.

The person tied up on the wooden frame was covered with scars, and his clothes were stained with blood. He opened his eyes only when he saw Xie Yu, and he opened them wide in an instant: "Tai, Taifu..."

Xie Yu's eyes were frosty, without the slightest leak of emotion, he stared at him: "Who did you send money to in the capital, and where is the account book? Otherwise, I can't guarantee the whereabouts of the Sun family."

"Teacher..." Sun Zhizhou was terrified, his limbs bound by iron chains were trembling, he swallowed his throat and said, "Teacher, I don't have an account book..."

Xie Yu nodded, and said with a light smile, "It's okay if you don't have one." She glanced at the yamen servant on one side.

The yamen servant understood, and took out a stack of long needles. Xie Yu stood under the candlelight, and pulled out a slender figure on the ground, with a sense of gloom in the darkness.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Sun, I learned some basic medical skills from the doctor. I know which acupoints will cause pain and uneasiness if you go deeper with the needle, and you will die ugly if you go deeper."

Xie Yu's voice was very soft, like a ghost coming and going without a trace, but she had an ordinary smile, and the woman's beauty gave her a little more charm.Sun Zhizhou is a romantic person, he was first attracted by Xie Yu's beauty, he couldn't help trembling when he saw the needle, Xie Yuying's white hand shook in front of him, and there was a pain on the top of his head.

Then my head hurt like it exploded.

Xie Yu said calmly, "This doesn't hurt."

She took another needle and said: "If the needle is stuck wrongly, the limbs will be numb, even if the iron is on the body, you won't feel it. Why don't I help you, and the punishment in the future won't hurt."

Sun Zhizhou was trembling all over. Seeing the long needle pierced into his leg, it hurt like an ant bite at first, and then he felt nothing. Fear suddenly hit his whole body. Fu, I said, the account books are in Wang Qingqing's hands."

Xie Yu raised his eyes slowly: "Who is Wang Qingqing?"

"Yes, it's the woman Princess Zhao Can likes...it's her."

Xie Yu put down the needle and summoned the Minister of Criminal Affairs: "Go to Gaoyang Palace and arrest Wang Qingqing, and act in secret."

After finishing the order, Nongqin came to pass the message: "Sir, Miss Xiao is here."

Xie Yu's hand was stained with a few drops of blood, and it smelled foul. She took out a handkerchief and wiped it off, and said indifferently, "If you want to smash it, let her go."

Nongqin shook her head: "She said she was going to live in Mr. Wen's house."

Xie Yu turned cold: "Where is she?"

"Still at the mansion." Nongqin said anxiously.

Xie Yu threw away the handkerchief, and after giving some instructions, she was about to return to Xie's mansion. When she walked out of the punishment office, Yan Huaizhen directly stopped her.

"Where is the master going?"

Xie Yu didn't have time to pay attention to him, "There is an urgent matter in the house."

The two stood at the door, many people watched, Yan Huaizhen couldn't forcefully stop him, but the matter was urgent, he ignored it and said: "The urgent matters in the house are not as important as political affairs."

Xie Yu's face was ugly, obviously he was unwilling to talk about it with him, the word "political affairs" was too overwhelming, so she had to turn around and ask someone to go to the office to explain it in detail.

Everyone glanced behind them, and after the two entered the room, they got together and whispered.

"This Jiangnan case involves many people. Is it because of this incident that Yan Xiang came over in a hurry?"

"It's unlikely, Yan Xiang won't come here in person, most likely for other things."

"That's right, Yan Xianglai must be for other things. I heard that the imperial concubine is four or five months pregnant."

"Is it related to the imperial concubine?"

There was a lot of discussion outside, the Gaoyang Prince's Mansion was controlled by the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Zhao Can and Wang Qingqing were stopped by people as soon as they returned to the mansion.

Zhao Can refused to take Wang Qingqing away, and even quarreled with the Minister of Criminal Affairs. King Gao Yang came to smooth things over, but Zhao Can refused to let go.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhao Can let him go through the back door, and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment ordered him to chase him, but he disappeared long ago.

A group of criminals returned empty-handed.

Xie Yu from the office had an argument with Yan Huaizhen, and the two broke up unhappy, both guessing what they had said, when the servant of the Ministry of Punishment hurried back to report, Xie Yu couldn't hold back his anger, and cursed: "A girl can Run away, are the knives in your hands wooden? You will not bring people back by force. Now that they have run away, if you can’t get them back, hang them outside under the tree.”

Everyone is in danger and dare not answer.

Xie Yu personally entered the palace again and asked for a search warrant for the city gates. The soldiers of the patrol battalion searched door by door and issued a reward notice. Zhao Can was even punished by the emperor.

By the time Xie Yu was free to go back to the mansion, the willows were already on the top of the moon, and Xiao Kunning was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Yin was in a state of desperation, and when she saw her husband, she said guiltily, "This subordinate couldn't keep Miss Xiao, so I ordered Nongqin to follow her all the way. I think it will be all right. Mr. Wen hasn't come back yet, so she won't go to Wenfu."

Xie Yu was tired of opening his mouth, and after facing Yu Yin's cautiousness, he didn't have the heart to care about it. Xiao Kunning's temperament was soft and not hard, and it was useless to force him to stay.

Not a quarter of an hour after it was unloaded, King Gao Yang came in a hurry, wanting to intercede for Zhao Can.

Xie Yu cheered up and went to greet him. After a few words of politeness, King Gaoyang asked about the inside story: "Miss Wang was born in Jiangnan Cailian, how did she get involved in a corruption case? A Can's mind is simple, I'm afraid she will be taken advantage of."

"I'm afraid this girl had her own thoughts when she approached the monarch at the beginning, and people are investigating. If the prince asks about the inside story, I don't know." Xie Yu kept silent about the details.

King Gaoyang had no choice but begged Xie Yu sincerely: "Master Lao begged for mercy in front of His Majesty."

Xie Yu agreed, and personally sent King Gaoyang out of the mansion.

Before Haishi arrived, she ordered people to prepare the carriage and the driver to go to Moxiangzhai.

If Xiao Kunning didn't go back to his residence, he could only live in Moxiangzhai.

Soldiers patrolling the streets would search the carriages they saw, and Xie Yu's carriage was no exception, and it was already midnight when they arrived at Moxiangzhai.

Xiao Kunning changed his temper and closed the door, seeing that Xie Yu was not even allowed to enter the door.

After waiting outside the door for half an hour, Xie Yu returned without success.

On the second day after Wang Qingqing was released by Zhao Can, the Gaoyang Palace was besieged by soldiers, and even King Gaoyang was forbidden to enter or leave.

Xie Yu argued with Yan Huaizhen in the court hall, after all, the emperor did not change his mind, and the others dared not say a word.

In the afternoon, Wen Yu Ke rode back to the Ministry of Punishment and asked Xie Yu for Sun Zhizhou's account book.

The rest of the punishment department retreated silently, and Xie Yu didn't speak for a long time.

Wen Yuke's cold face was full of sarcasm, and he said face to face: "The Tai Tuo used frequent tricks when he plotted against his subordinates, why is there no more tricks now, so many people in the Ministry of Punishment can't catch a little girl, it's because you didn't care about the case let's go."

Xie Yu also felt remorse in his heart, he should have gone to the Gaoyang Prince's Mansion to fetch the man himself, and said, "I didn't plot against you."

"Teacher touches his heart and speaks?" Wen Yuke handed over the obtained account books to the desk, and said: "The account books of the Gu Zhao family and even the merchants in Jiangnan can only prove that Jiangnan officials are corrupt. It doesn't matter to the big family."

Only Sun Zhizhou's account books can testify against Yan Huaizhen.

Xie Yu was aggrieved and said, "Master Wen, do you mean that I was negligent?"

Wen Yuke raised his eyes and looked directly at her: "Isn't it? If my lord has no distractions, how could Wang Qingqing escape without seeing her?"

"Master Wen is angry?" Xie Yu regained some sense. Wen Yuke's persecution was only for other people. She stood up and said confidently: "Whether I was negligent or not, you can go to His Majesty and sue me. Reminds me of a saying."

Wen Yuke frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Yu smiled lightly: "If you can't eat grapes, say grapes are sour."

"Do you think it's reasonable for Master Xie to cheat on the marriage?" Wen Yuke almost laughed angrily.

"Whether it's reasonable or not, the matter is a foregone conclusion. If I don't retire, Mr. Wen can only continue to talk about sour grapes." Xie Yu calmly arranged the account books, and asked them to put them in a cage and send them to His Majesty. Then he remembered something Come on, "Master Wen, did you transcribe a copy in advance?"

The account books have not been sent to His Majesty, and it is not safe along the way.

Wen Yuke replied, "Don't worry, Taifu."

Xie Yu smiled, "I'm going to see His Majesty, Mr. Wen can rest for a few days before coming back to try the case."

Wen Yuke expressed his thanks with a cold face.

The box containing the account books was sent to the carriage, Xie Yu did not ride in the carriage, but rode to the palace on horseback.

Wen Yuke didn't go back to the residence either, but went to Moxiangzhai instead.
