Chapter 111 Is there any purpose for you to do this?
He Zhiran then remembered that his father had slipped a letter into Mo Jiuye's arms today.
Since the letter was for Mo Jiuye, she didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy. Although she was curious about what was written in it, she didn't take the initiative to ask.
Mo Jiuye was able to mention this letter, so he had no intention of hiding the content.
"The content of the letter is very brief. My father-in-law said that he would privately collect evidence of my innocence to rehabilitate me, and he hoped that I could treat you kindly."
"Is it that simple?" He Zhiran obviously didn't believe it.
Mo Jiuye answered affirmatively: "Well, that's all."
He Zhiran fell into deep thought again.
After her parents came to see her off today, the first thing she thought of was her father's situation in the court.
He Yuanming is Mo Jiuye's father-in-law. Will the emperor be angry with him for this?
If this is the case, wouldn't He Yuanming be like an ant on a chopping board in the future? He might be trampled to death by Emperor Shunwu at any time.
Seeing He Zhiran deep in thought, Mo Jiuye spoke again.
"My father-in-law is an honest official and works in an orderly manner. The emperor is reluctant to lose such a capable minister, so you don't have to worry too much."
After hearing Mo Jiuye's words, Hezhiran felt somewhat relieved.
"It's getting late, go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow." Mo Jiuye was worried that He Zhiran's body would not be able to bear it.
After talking so much and wasting a lot of brain cells by thinking, He Zhiran was feeling sleepy now.
"Okay, you should also go to bed early."
I thought I could fall asleep by closing my eyes, but unexpectedly, He Zhiran was still tossing and turning, and even though he was feeling sleepy, he still couldn't fall asleep.
The space on the wooden cart was not very large, and she and Mo Jiuye were almost pressed against each other.
Feeling each other's warmth, not only He Zhiran but also Mo Jiuye fell asleep.
Feeling that her breathing was not so steady, Mo Jiuye spoke softly again.
"Pretending to be comatose is not a lasting solution. I plan to find a chance to wake up as soon as I leave the capital."
"You can control this yourself." He Zhiran answered vaguely.
In fact, Mo Jiuye had selfish motives when he said this.
This woman was able to know in advance that the Protector's mansion would be confiscated and exiled, which does not rule out the possibility that she also knew some other things.
His purpose in saying this was to trick He Zhiran into saying something.
Unexpectedly, he just let himself make up his mind and didn't say anything he didn't know.
"Aren't you curious why I plan to wake up after leaving the capital city?"
"I guess you are worried that the emperor's eyes will be watching you."
This is what He Zhiran thought. Emperor Shunwu spared no effort in attacking Mo Jiuye and even wanted to kill him the night before he ransacked his house and sent him into exile. How could he give up the opportunity on the road?
It would be different if Mo Jiuye was unconscious.
Once Emperor Shunwu sent his spies to secretly observe him and found that he was still unconscious, it meant that his injuries must be serious.
In such a situation, the possibility of surviving on the road to exile is almost zero.
Emperor Shunwu would most likely let it go, and their road to exile would be less bumpy.
Of course, if Emperor Shunwu didn't play his cards right, he wouldn't rule out that he would send people to rob and kill Mo Jiuye on the road while he was unconscious.
Mo Jiuye's goal may be to escape a calamity.
It has to be said that He Zhiran's guess is completely consistent with Mo Jiuye's idea.
"It's okay if I'm alone. It's not difficult to escape from here, and I can never be found.
But there are too many female relatives in the Mo family, and I can't guarantee that I can take care of them all.
What's more, your sisters-in-law and your natal family are all in the capital. Once I take you away, your relatives in the capital will probably be implicated as well.
I feel a little sorry for you. You just married into the Mo family and you are about to be exiled with you.
Mother and sisters-in-law, they are already pitiful enough, but they still have to suffer such a crime."
His words came from the bottom of his heart, which implicitly showed that Mo Jiuye had begun to believe in He Zhiran.
He Zhiran could understand Mo Jiuye's helplessness.
After all, I had witnessed his martial arts with my own eyes, and it was easy to escape under the noses of these officials.
This shows that Mo Jiuye is not that kind of selfish person.
"Things have happened. All we need to do is protect our families and ourselves. The first goal is to reach the northwest safely."
As for the subsequent understanding of history, He Zhiran did not mention it.
Because of her arrival, the number of times recorded in history that Mo Jiuye was beaten has changed.
She believes that this period of history is likely to continue to change because of her arrival.
In fact, Mo Jiuye was already disheartened. He could not guarantee that the whole family could reach the northwest in full.
However, after listening to He Zhiran's words, I felt that my confidence doubled.
He is an upright man and the only hope of the Moh family.
If he just wants to follow the crowd, what about his mother, wife, sister and sisters-in-law?
He must cheer up and face all difficulties in the future positively.
"I will definitely do my best to help everyone survive."
Perhaps the content of the conversation between the two was too depressing and successfully diverted He Zhiran's attention.
At this moment she had forgotten the fact that she was sleeping next to a man.
The two briefly chatted about some future plans, and He Zhiran fell asleep unknowingly.
Mo Jiuye heard the even breathing coming from beside her, and covered her with the sheet thoughtfully, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Although He Zhiran fell asleep, he still had the habit of getting up early in his previous life.
She woke up before dawn.
While others were still sleeping, he put away the sheets covering her and Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye had been in a light sleep all night. When he felt the sheets disappear from his body, he knew that He Zhiran was about to get up.
He Zhiran looked around and saw that everyone was sleeping, and the officers on duty were not as energetic as they had been in the middle of the night.
She took out two white flour steamed buns and some soy beef again, and handed them to Mo Jiuye along with the water bag.
"While no one else is up, you go get something to eat first."
"Okay." Mo Jiuye responded and quickly got out of the car with the food.
Not long after Mo Jiuye came back from eating and drinking, people started to wake up one after another.
The official began to distribute black-faced steamed buns again.
Everyone looked at the black-faced steamed buns that were as big as stones and felt miserable.
However, in order to survive, I can only bite the bullet and swallow.
The treatment of the Mo family is different.
Zhou Laoba said that he would give them some white flour steamed buns tomorrow morning.
He kept his word, leaving enough white-flour steamed buns for the officials to last them all the way to Yunlai County, and the rest was given to the Mo family.
What everyone doesn't know is that when Zhou Laoba gave the white-faced steamed buns to the Mo family, it was not because he and Peng Wang were so grateful for He Zhiran's life-saving grace.
The real reason is that their mission was miscalculated.
In the past, before departure, they would prepare two kinds of steamed buns, black-faced steamed buns for free, and white-faced steamed buns for earning some silver.
