The onlookers seemed to be in a panic: "The culprit was obviously Mrs. Cai, why didn't she be sentenced?"

"He is an imperial decree, can he be the same as these maids and mothers?"

"Officials protect each other, but poor Miss Hua Wu was killed by her grandmother."

The Prince Li’s face looked extremely ugly. Is this his fault?

According to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the grandmother killed her granddaughter, which was originally innocent. Whether it was an imperial edict or a commoner, it was the same. At most, it was handed over to the clan to deal with it.

But where did the clan come from the Hua family? Mrs. Cai has long lost her husband and has no elders. The entire Hua family is of the highest generation. Will the one who is a son still kill her own mother?

Prefect Li felt that he was the most unfair, even more unfair than Dou E on the stage.

The eldest prince's voice came from behind the screen: "It's true."

Prefect Li straightened his body. He looked at the crowd outside the fence, but was facing his eyes. It was the little girl dressed as a man, Miss Hua.

The little girl bowed slightly at him, and then pulled the silly boy named Hua Xiaoli out of the crowd.

Prefect Li was stunned for a moment, and when he recovered, he sighed. He had already served two positions as Prefect Shuntian, and had countless cases, but not many cases like today. Just like someone wanted to sleep, someone handed a pillow, whether it was Lanzhi biting out Mrs. Cai and Madam Sun, or the osmanthus head oil in Hua Xiaoli's mouth, all of them were just right. Even the account of Zhen Jinji and the eloquent second shopkeeper and female friend were so suitable that it was not as suitable.

Hua Jingyao left the yamen and did not return to the eldest princess's mansion, but went to Jiangnanchun two streets away.

Hua Yukun was sitting at the table next to the window on the second floor waiting for her.

Jiang Nanchun's owner is Jiangnan. It is not during the meal, and there is only this table of guests. Jiangnan is sitting carelessly opposite Hua Yukun. When he saw Hua Jingyao, Hua Yukun said, "My daughter is here."

Jiang Nan quickly got up, nodded to Hua Jingyao, and then said to Hua Yukun: "I won't disturb your father and daughter anymore, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

Hua Jingyao smiled and called out "Uncle Jiang", which scared Jiang Nan. He pointed to his nose and asked, "Do you know me?"

Hua Jingyao then remembered that her sister rarely went out, and she probably never came here, let alone knew Jiangnan.

But she knew Jiangnan, her father's best friend. When the father and daughter left Beijing, they were almost penniless. It was Jiangnan who managed the escort soldiers, so they did not suffer and could not endure the troubles until the Shi brothers chased each other.

Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "I heard from my father that this is Jiang Nanchun. I think you are Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Nan laughed and said to Hua Yukun: "Your daughter is not the same as you. You said that her temperament is as good as you, but she is very similar to her mother."

Hua Jingyao was speechless. She was really not born by Princess Zhaoyang!

Jiang Nan exchanged a few greetings, then went to the kitchen and gave it to the father and daughter.

"Did you know everything?" Hua Jingyao asked directly.

Hua Yukun nodded: "Qing Yan went to the trial just now... Then Lanzhi was you who asked her to tell her about your grandmother, right?"

Hua Jingyao said: "I didn't force her. Everything was just her own choice. You see, she could choose Cousin Cai, but she didn't. She chose the old lady, so she could only say that she was still a loyal maid. She would rather die than mention Cousin Cai."

Lanzhi is Cai Bilian's maid, and she is not from the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion at all. There are several maids and mothers around Mrs. Cai, so there is no need to bribe her niece's maid. In this matter, Cai Bilian is the accomplice of Mrs. Cai, and Lanzhi is just a man who obeys orders.

Hua Yukun sighed and didn't say anything.

Hua Jingyao did not disturb him. If anyone had encountered such a thing, it would be difficult for him to get out of the pain.

She guessed the time, and Shi Bing should come back now.

She just thought of Shi Bing, and Shi Bing came back.

Xiaoli and the Shi brothers were sitting in the lobby on the first floor. After Shi Bing came back, he went upstairs to meet Hua Jingyao first.

"Third Master, girl." Shi Bing saw the li, looked at Hua Yukun, then Hua Jingyao, but stopped talking.

"It's okay, tell me." Hua Jingyao said.

Shi Bing then said, "Girl, there is news from those two of us."

"Well, you said." Hua Jingyao remained silent, but Hua Yukun was surprised. Our people?

Shi Bing continued: "The night before yesterday, my cousin got sick and was unconscious. Yesterday morning, the master asked me to go to Xianghe to report the news. My cousin's brother and sister-in-law have entered the mansion now. Hearing that, my cousin's son is not good, and her brother and sister-in-law are here for the last time."

Hua Yukun was stunned. Cai Bilian was sick? How could it be? This is clearly...it is just silence!

Hua Jingyao was not surprised at all. This was something she had thought of for a long time. She asked, "Where is that Zeng Ping?"

Shi Bing said: "After Wang Baoshan returned, the fourth master was called to the master's study room after a while. When he came out again, his cheeks were red and swollen, and he was obviously beaten. Zeng Ping was tied up and was locked in the back cover room of the west courtyard. The young man had already been sent over and wanted to let Zeng Ping escape."

"It's a good job, I said, don't let Zeng Ping die." Hua Jingyao said.

When Shi Bing went downstairs, Hua Yukun asked, "When did you keep a mansion in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Hua Jingyao smiled and said, "You have been separated, but the person who killed my sister is still in the Marquis's Mansion. Someone will always watch."

Hua Yukun felt his face burning. His youngest daughter was dead, but he could only do everything he could from that family. Apart from that, he did nothing, and it was all his eldest daughter who was in charge of it. But Yaoyao was only twelve years old.

"Yaoyao, let your father do these things. You are a lady from a wealthy family, and this is not what you should do."

Hua Jingyao burst into laughter. In his previous life, in Guangxi, my daughter, I spent all day among the constables and yamen runners, doing anything more prudent than this.

"Dad, do you know how to install people in the Hou Mansion and how to save Zeng Ping's life? You have never done it before, but I'm afraid I haven't heard it before. So, I'll do it. As for you, think about yourself. Now you are separated. What are your plans for the future? Don't go out for two or three years like you did back then. If you bring me a sister back, I will help you take care of the children."

After saying this, Hua Yukun blushed and shook his head repeatedly: "Dad will not leave, and he will not go anywhere. Dad will still protect you."

Hua Jingyao didn't expect her father to protect her. Unlike her sister, she was just a wild grass that could not be burned by wildfires, and it grew again with the spring breeze.
