Xi Yu listened quietly, narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the truth and falsehood of Linglong's words.
He looked at Linglong's haggard face and sad eyes, and a hint of pity appeared in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed this sympathy.
"So, you've been hiding here all the time?" Xi Yu asked.
Linglong nodded and said, "I have nowhere to go, so I can only hide here for the time being. I originally thought I could live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect you to find it."
Xi Yu's eyes were cold and he continued to ask Linglong about the Huang family.
Linglong said helplessly: "I was attracted by Young Master Huang and became a maid, but bullied by villains. But later, Young Master Huang pity me and made me his wife."
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "There are rumors that Mr. Huang was the one who was killed by you. Is there such a thing?"
Linglong was about to deny it, but saw Xi Yu's sharp eyes.
She trembled in her heart, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded seriously, indicating that this was indeed the case.
The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Why do you do this?" Xi Yu asked.
A complicated look flashed in Linglong's eyes, and she continued, "As a princess, I want to be the master of my family. Therefore, only by killing Young Master Huang can I have the final say."
Her voice trembled slightly, and she sighed, "I don't want to do this either. I'm sorry, Mr. Huang."
After saying this, Linglong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at Xi Yu nervously and asked, "I have said everything I should have said. Do you want to hand me over to the court?"
But Xi Yu just looked at her seriously and didn't say anything.
The room fell into silence, with only the sound of sharp breathing.
Her heart was filled with uneasiness, and she didn't know what Xi Yu was thinking.
"What do you want?" Linglong asked again, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
Xi Yu did not respond to Linglong's question immediately, but suddenly said, "You must be hungry. I was frozen all night last night, and I guess I'm about to catch a cold, so I'd better take a rest first. I'll continue to stay for one night today."
Linglong looked at Xi Yu fiercely, and secretly annoyed that this person really didn't treat himself as an outsider.
However, she did feel a little sleepy and a little chill.
After Xi Yu finished speaking, he came outside and ordered his servants to say, "Go to cook and invite a doctor."
Many servants saw him giving orders like his master, and they even more speculated in their hearts that this must be the wife's new favorite.
After all, Xu Dabao usually gives orders to them in this way.
The atmosphere in the mansion became more and more subtle, and the servants whispered to each other, full of curiosity and doubt about the stranger who suddenly appeared.
Linglong was in the room and was full of thoughts in her heart, not knowing what Xi Yu was thinking.
Guan Yu took Zhao Qiang on the way to his home. Guan Yu looked serious along the way, and observed the surroundings vigilantly from time to time to prevent Zhao Qiang from playing any tricks.
Zhao Qiang carefully led the way and kept saying, "Hero, I have been watched by you and I have no chance to come back to inform me. How could I play tricks? This is indeed my home."
Finally, I came to Zhao Qiang's house. The yard was empty and looked a little deserted.
Zhao Qiang took Guan Yu to a house where an old woman lay.
When the old woman saw Zhao Qiang, she immediately showed a happy expression on her face and said, "My son is back."
Zhao Qiang quickly walked to the old woman and said gently: "Mom, I'm back and have also received a guest."
Guan Yu stood aside and watched the scene quietly, his doubts slightly eased.
But he remained vigilant and was ready to further observe the situation of the family to determine whether what Zhao Qiang said was true.
Guan Yu looked at the coughing old woman and felt a little moved. He then asked the old woman: "Is Zhao Qiang really your son?"
The old woman looked surprised and said, "Of course it's my son, why do you ask that?" After that, she started coughing violently again.
Guan Yu looked at the old woman's weak appearance and seemed to be sick.
He smiled awkwardly, then walked out. Zhao Qiang hurriedly followed him out.
Guan Yu said to Zhao Qiang, "I have to go outside to inquire." After that, he soon came outside and found several neighbors.
After inquiry, it was confirmed that this place was indeed Zhao Qiang's home, and Zhao Qiang's home was indeed very poor.
Guan Yu's doubts were completely eliminated, and he began to think about how to help the mother and son.
After all, Liu Bei is based on benevolence and cannot sit idly by himself.
At this time, Guan Yu stood on the street, looking at the direction of Zhao Qiang's family, and had a decision in his heart.
He decided to go back and inform Liu Bei of the matter and discuss ways to help Zhao Qiang and his son.
Guan Yu came to Zhao Qiang's yard again and coughed lightly.
Zhao Qiang immediately walked out of the house. Guan Yu looked at Zhao Qiang and said solemnly: "I have confirmed that your family is very poor, and I am willing to sponsor you. However, a big man cannot just guard his mother at home, and should do something."
Zhao Qiang sighed and said helplessly: "I can't be too far away, otherwise who will take care of my mother?"
Guan Yu thought, this is indeed the case. He thought awkwardly and said that others are not there to do anything now?
But he immediately took out the currency and handed it to Zhao Qiang, saying, "Let's get the medicine for your mother first."
Zhao Qiang looked at the currency in Guan Yu's hand, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.
He took the currency with trembling hands and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your great kindness, I, Zhao Qiang, will never forget you."
Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to take good care of your mother. If you have the chance, make another livelihood." After that, Guan Yu turned around and left, but he still felt a little confused about his and Zhao Qiang's future.
Guan Yu soon returned to Liu Bei's residence and told him all the truth about Zhao Qiang's family.
After hearing this, Liu Bei showed a gratified smile on his face and said, "Fortunately, I am kind. My second brother was so impulsive yesterday that he almost killed a good person by mistake."
Guan Yu sighed and said, "It is a good thing for brother to help others, but when can this person help? The key is to depend on his own. I also want to persuade him to do something, but he still has to guard his old mother."
Liu Bei nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "What Yun Chang said is very true. But since we have reached out to help, we cannot give up halfway. Let's see if we can find a way for him to take care of his mother and make a living."
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and felt a sense of admiration in his heart. The eldest brother was always so kind and caring about others. He said, "Brother is kind, I admire him. But this method is not easy to think about."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Think slowly, there will always be a solution."
Guan Yu sighed and said helplessly: "I say others have nothing to do."
After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly had an idea and said, "Why would I write another letter to the Prime Minister and ask the Prime Minister to arrange an errand for you, Chang Yun."
Guan Yu immediately felt inappropriate and said, "Brother, we have offended the Prime Minister, how is that possible?" Liu Bei disagreed and said, "What's wrong with this? If we have difficulties, will the Prime Minister come to help us? At least we have to give it a try. Could it be that the second brother can't hide his face?"
Guan Yu hurriedly said, "Of course not. Since that's the case, please give me a try."
Liu Bei nodded slightly, thinking about how to write a letter in his heart, hoping to get a suitable job for Guan Yu and add hope to their future.
Liu Bei sat at the table, calming his mind and carefully pondered every word in the letter to the prime minister. He knew very well that the importance of this letter was not only related to Guan Yu's future, but also to their future direction.
Finally, Liu Bei finished writing the letter, folded the letter paper carefully and put it into the envelope.
Then, Liu Bei began to look for the letter delivery nearby.
This time, he specially found a very poor villager.
The villager was dressed in rags and had a haggard face, but his eyes revealed a hint of perseverance.
Liu Bei handed the letter to the villagers and said, "This letter is crucial. Please send it to the Prime Minister. As a reward, I will give you some funding." After hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He held the letter tightly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, hero, I will definitely deliver the letter."
The villagers left with the letter with joy.
Xu Dabao was comforted and locked in the woodshed for a day. During this day, he almost didn't eat or drink, and was exhausted.
At night, the secret guard came to open the door of the woodshed.
Xu Dabao glared at the secret guard and asked, "Who are you? Why do you torture me so much?"
The secret guard sneered and said contemptuously: "You are going to harm my master. Can't I torture you?"
Xu Dabao hurriedly defended: "I also listened to my wife, it was the one who asked me to do this."
The secret guard disagreed and retorted: "Then my master asked me to torture you for a day and not let you eat and drink. Is there any problem?"
Xu Dabao was speechless when asked. He knew that he was indeed inappropriate in this matter.
He lowered his head and stopped talking.
The secret guard looked at Xu Dabao's appearance, and there was no sympathy in his heart.
Xu Dabao didn't know what fate he would face next.
After a while, Xi Yu walked in.
When Xu Dabao saw Xi Yu, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly begged: "Hero, let me go. In fact, it was all the wife who asked me to do that. I don't want to throw you into the well."
Xi Yu looked at Xu Dabao coldly, but he had no expression on his face.
He suddenly raised his foot, kicked Xu Dabao's chin, and mocked: "You really know how to change the ruling with Feng. When I first came, you tripped me up, but now are you begging for mercy?"
Xu Dabao was kicked in pain, but he didn't dare to have an attack.
He could only continue to beg: "Hero, I know I'm wrong. Please spare me this time. I will definitely follow you in the future."
Xi Yu looked at Xu Dabao with disgust in his eyes and said, "Xu Dabao, you deserve to die. Other servants all have opinions about you. You show off your power and rely on others' power." Xu Dabao lowered his head in shame when he heard this. He knew in his heart that his past actions were indeed hated, but he thought that the reason he did that was based on the rights given by his wife.
At this moment, a trace of worry surged in Xu Dabao's heart, wondering how his wife is now.
So he asked Xi Yu tentatively: "Hero, what's going on with the wife now?"
Xi Yu sneered and did not answer Xu Dabao's question.
But this time, he ordered the kitchen to cook for Xu Dabao.
After a while, the people in the kitchen came to deliver food to Xu Dabao.
The man looked at Xu Dabao who was locked in the woodshed and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Why are you here?"
Xu Dabao was already in a state of irritability. When he heard this, he said viciously: "Just just deliver the meal. Why are you asking so much?"
The man was so scared that he was trembling by Xu Dabao's fierce appearance that he didn't dare to ask anything more.
Xu Dabao looked at the food in front of him, but had no appetite. He was thinking about his situation and his wife's situation, and he was uneasy.
Xi Yu came to Linglong's bedside.
Linglong was frozen in the well for a night last night and had a high fever. After the doctor fed some medicine, she felt a little better now.
In the past, Xu Dabao was always with her, but now there are no girls around her.
At this moment, Linglong slowly opened her eyes, but found that Xi Yu was by her side.
But Xi Yu asked gently: "Are you awake?"
At this moment, Princess Anxi was a little surprised.
She never thought that this person who once asked her coldly would be so gentle at this moment.
A complicated emotion surged in Linglong's heart. She didn't know why Xi Yu had such a change.
She moved her lips slightly, trying to say something, but found that her voice was hoarse.
Xi Yu seemed to see her thoughts and said softly: "Don't talk first, have a good rest. We'll talk later when you're well."
Linglong looked at Xi Yu's eyes, and there seemed to be something hidden in it that she couldn't see through.
She nodded slightly, then closed her eyes again.
At this moment, her heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, and she didn't know what would be waiting for her in the future.
Linglong slowly opened her eyes, her weak aura was full of eagerness.
"How is Xu Dabao? I will let him go. He is not guilty. I ordered him to do bad things."
A trace of anger flashed in Xi Yu's eyes.
"You are so nice to him. Xu Dabao is a person who is used to being arrogant and domineering, so he is not that innocent."
"Do you know, how many people have brought pain to his mighty behavior?" Xi Yu tried to let Linglong see Xu Dabao's true face clearly.
Linglong shook her head slightly, her eyes full of sadness.
"I know he is wrong, but it's all because of me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have gone on this path."
"Okay, I promise you to let him go for the time being. But if he does evil again, I will never be lenient." Xi Yu said.
After hearing this, Linglong's face showed a hint of relief.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind, as if as long as Xu Dabao was safe, she could let go of everything.
With a command from Xi Yu, the secret guards took the order to release Xu Dabao.
Xu Dabao regained his freedom and thanked the secret guards happily.
The secret guard just sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
"Don't thank me, you should thank Miss Linglong. You must be a good person in the future. If you do evil again, I will take your life."
The secret guard's words were cold and decisive, like a sharp blade hanging above Xu Dabao's head.
Xu Dabao felt a stern in his heart. He knew that the secret guard was not a joke.
"Who is your master?"
The secret guard's eyes sterned and he said coldly: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked."
Xu Dabao was so scared that his face turned pale. He hurriedly kept silent, not daring to make another sound.
In the office of Youzhou College, Wenxuan had just finished class and was sitting quietly tidying up his thoughts.
At this time, Lu Su suddenly came over.
Seeing this, Wenxuan quickly stood up.
Lu Su looked at Wenxuan and said with concern: "Since the last time you were completely kidnapped, I have been worried that you will leave sequelae. It doesn't matter, right?"
Wenxuan smiled faintly and responded: "I have forgotten it all."
After hearing this, Lu Su nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good."
Then, Lu Su turned around and left the office.
After Lu Su left, the office returned to tranquility.
Wenxuan couldn't help but think of Hu Lin again. Hu Lin's death was a hurdle in her heart after all.
Although he didn't like Hu Lin, the other party died because of himself.
Those past scenes kept appearing in Wenxuan's mind, and her mood became heavier.
Wenxuan sighed lightly, looked out the window, his thoughts drifted into the distance, and he didn't know what challenges would be waiting for him in the future.
After a while, Wenxuan tried to divert his attention, so he remembered the portrait of Princess Anxi posted in the city now.
She immediately became unhappy. The reason why Xi Yu looked for this woman was probably because she wanted to develop her woman into her own wife?
This man is always so greedy.
But she felt that she was thinking too much, maybe she was really doing the job!
Even if this is true, what does it have to do with yourself?
If you look down on men of this era, it does not mean that Xi Yu cannot like other women.
Monogamy in the previous life was impossible to achieve at this time, and I should not be so persistent!
She sighed and thought of another question.
If Xi Yu had no other women, would he marry Xi Yu?
Or if Xi Yu has only one woman and promises not to find another woman, will she agree?
For a long time, her feelings for Xi Yu have been very complicated.
She was stunned for a long time before her thoughts stopped.
And Xi Yu has been staying by Linglong's side.
His face looked very beautiful when he looked at Lingqing's face.
But he has now given up on getting the other party's idea, which is different from his original intention.
Because after all, this woman has an affair with Xu Dabao, she will never marry her!
Although he did not have a virgin complex, he always felt that the other party was dirty.
But Xi Yu thought, since he was here, he had to improve things.
In this way, Xi Yu silently protected him, and a few hours passed without realizing it.
Linglong opened her eyes in a while.
Chapter completed!
