Shen Moran stared at Zhou Zhan's face for a long time, then clicked his tongue and said nothing more.
But it was her tut that made Zhou Zhan feel uncomfortable. However, she didn't say anything, which made people feel as if something had been stuffed into their hearts.
The rain comes quickly and violently after the beginning of summer. The sun is still hanging in the sky in the afternoon, but it suddenly starts to rain in the evening.
Jiang Yun waited at Ye Xu's residence for a day, but did not wait for him to come back with the money, but did wait for the news that he had been sent to Jingzhao Mansion.
Regardless of whether the curfew was approaching or not, I hurried outside the Jingzhao Yamen to ask.
Ye Xu had a good reputation and an official status. Even if he committed a crime and was sent to the Jingzhao Yamen, he did not suffer much. On the contrary, it was Old Man Li and his family who needed to get twenty punches before the case could be filed.
For the sake of his daughter's innocence, Old Man Li carried twenty boards and was still lying down outside the Yamen.
Li Cai knelt outside the door and cried out for injustice. Many people gathered around him.
From the common people's discussions in a few words, she learned the reason why Ye Xu was sent to the Yamen. Her mind suddenly went blank and she was unable to think.
She has known Ye Xu for more than half a year. Among all the guests, he is the only one who cares about her, respects her, loves her, and never goes too far. Last night, he promised to help her redeem her life. How come today...
"Impossible, Mr. Ye is not such a person!"
Jiang Yun's voice was muffled by the sound of rain. It was getting late today, and the officials in the government office were driving away the people watching the excitement.
"This case will be tried again tomorrow and it's all over!"
The curfew was coming soon, and after officials repeatedly drove them away, Jiang Yun and the Li family's father and son were the only ones left at the door.
When Li Cai came to file a complaint, he immediately backed down when he heard that he was still going to hit twenty boards.
Old Man Li couldn't swallow this breath, and he must seek justice for his daughter, so he suffered twenty blows.
"Dad, dad, can you still leave..."
Li Cai's voice was weak, but Old Man Li had a strong attitude and shook off his support, saying sadly: "I told you not to associate with those bad friends a long time ago, but you refused to listen and even lured them home! This is how you are causing trouble!"
"Your sister's innocence was almost ruined by that beast. Are you satisfied now?"
Old Man Li said bitterly, "If such a person becomes a local official and brings harm to the people of that place, I will sue him even if I die!"
Jiang Yun originally wanted to go forward and ask for the truth, but after hearing Old Man Li's words, she stepped back one after another. The truth was already in front of her eyes. Believe it or not, the facts were the facts!
It's ridiculous that she regards Ye Xu as a life-saving straw, but Ye Xu is a beast in human skin!
Old Man Li's body was wet and his hunched back made Jiang Yun feel congested. She ran forward and stuffed the oil-paper umbrella into his hand and ran away, hearing the voice of thanks behind her.
Everyone rushed home in a hurry and ran a hundred meters in one breath. Jiang Yun stopped and walked forward in a daze, not knowing where she should go.
The rain made me wet.
A gorgeous carriage stopped nearby, and the young man who redeemed himself that night opened the curtain.
"Get in the car."
The gates in the city were about to be closed soon. She was wandering around the streets after the curfew and was caught and slapped with fifty sticks. She walked on two legs and was taken to the Furong Pavilion before she was hit with a stick.
"Master Su."
Jiang Yun lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
Shen Moran handed her a handkerchief, waited for her to come over, and stepped aside.
The carriage was luxuriously decorated, and Jiang Yun also met another young man in black. The two of them were still dressed in the same way. The young man in black was cold and quiet, and the young man looked carefree, but he did not take advantage of her and even used his own money. The cloak was given to her.
From that day on, her whereabouts are under the control of the other party. It is not an exaggeration to say that the other party's hands and eyes are all over the sky. He may be able to help her help Mr. Ye...
She took the cloak, and with a thought, she opened her mouth to plead for Ye Xu. Maybe there was a misunderstanding!
Shen Moran seemed to know what she wanted to say, and brought out the evidence that Ye Xu had been hanging around the fireworks alley these days, and also brought out the evidence that he had given gifts to officials in the Ministry of Human Resources.
Jiang Yun looked at these evidences and had to believe that she had really made a mistake this time. She suddenly remembered that the sisters in Furong Pavilion had once advised her, saying that Ye Xu was not a person worthy of being entrusted with her life, and told her not to be persistent.
At that time, she thought they were all lobbyists sent by the manager to persuade her to accept customers...
Suddenly, she remembered that every word of advice seemed to be mixed with his romantic affairs with other women. It was because she stubbornly believed in what she saw and did not believe in the truth!
"Master Su..."
Jiang Yun hugged her knees and shed tears silently.
"No man in this world can be trusted. You should be lucky that you didn't go with him."
Shen Moran's comforting words were harsh in Zhou Zhan's ears, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on her. She was like a liar, with a hint of inducement in her voice.
"Is there anything else you want to do?"
Jiang Yun was stunned for a long time, shook her head and said: "My parents and relatives are gone, and now my heart is dead. I just wish I could kill the thief who framed my father..."
Si Yiluo ordered people to investigate her father's case and found that 30,000 tons of grain and grass were stolen and have not yet been found. However, the general who was responsible for escorting the shipment was not only not implicated, but was now promoted and is now the commander of the 3,000 Battalion.
He is not a big official, but it is difficult to take revenge.
And in this case, her father is not innocent either.
The food and fodder were indeed lost, and she accepted her fate.
"Where are you taking me, Master?"
As the carriage went further, the surrounding buildings became more and more impressive. Jiang Yun reacted and asked nervously.
"I can help you deregister, and I can also help you change your identity and live a good life in a different place."
The carriage stopped at the end of the alley, and Shen Moran handed her a package and a household registration.
In the household registration, her name is still Jiang Yun, and her hometown is still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the father's column has been changed to a strange name.
"Get off the car."
Jiang Yun got out of the carriage in a daze and watched the carriage go away. She glanced around blankly, not knowing where she was.
There was only a small door between the continuous walls. She hesitantly stepped forward and knocked on the door, intending to ask for directions. Unexpectedly, as soon as she knocked on the door, she was greeted by a tall woman who appeared on the other side. Pull it in.
"You must be Aunt Cai's distant niece! The old lady's birthday will be in two days, and the house is very busy. Please hurry up and arrange the arrangements to help!"
"I……"
Jiang Yun wanted to explain that she didn't know Aunt Cai, let alone help her at home, but she looked down at the household registration in her hand and thought of what the young master had just said to her.
Is this her new identity?
Sell her to this mansion to be a maid?
Jiang Yun followed the woman for a quarter of an hour, and she was dazzled by the buildings with carved beams and painted beams.
Until she was brought to another woman.
"Aunt Cai, your niece from far away is quite pretty. When the banquet comes, all the dignitaries will be present. We happen to be short of girls to serve the food, so why not let your niece do it first... She just doesn't know how to come from the countryside.
Yes, will you have stage fright? What if you lose the face of the old woman..."
The woman who brought her in chatted a lot, and the other unfamiliar woman was also looking at her, obviously not recognizing her.
"Auntie."
She stretched herself out in a proper manner. Aunt Cai nodded with satisfaction and said, "I just saw this girl for the first time today when she has grown so big. It seems that the rules are good and she shouldn't make any mistakes. Mom Lai, look
Let’s make arrangements.”
Jiang Yun's rapidly beating heart was suppressed.
"Come with me, what's the little girl's name?" The woman led Jiang Yun to the servant's residence, "I've never heard Aunt Cai say that she has a distant niece before. Not even distant relatives these days.
Why are you coming and going? There must be no one in your family, otherwise you wouldn’t have come all the way from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to defect to you!"
The woman was very talkative, which gave Jiang Yun the illusion that she should be like this.
She couldn't tell whether all this was a dream or an illusion.
