Yu Xiaoqiao returned to Shangqingzhai and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next afternoon, the Guzheng class was changed to a law class.

Mu Jinan, wearing a light blue robe and with elegant features, cites a wide range of examples and describes how to severely punish the rebels according to the law.

Those who plot treason or commit treason will be beheaded. Wives, concubines, children, etc. will be sent to the Jiaofangsi... All the sixteen-year-olds and above in the nine clans will be strangled... Men over eighty years old or sick, and women over sixty years old will be exempted... The sons of uncles, brothers, etc. will be exiled three thousand miles.

Mu Jinan paced between the tables and spoke slowly.

Even he himself didn't notice that he would stay beside Feng Zisu's table for a longer time, and his eyes would not help but linger on it.

Behind him, whispers began to arise.

"The biggest case of treason in Daxin is undoubtedly the Chen family's White Robe Army."

"Chen Tingyun, such a handsome young general, was burned alive. When he was caught, only his charred body was left."

"His wife was even more miserable. She was sent to the Jiaofangsi and hanged herself because she refused to live up to her duty as an official prostitute."

"Why was Chen Qingzhi's six-year-old grandson executed? Wasn't he exiled according to the law?"

Yu Xiaoqiao accidentally glanced at Ye Qingyuan, who had always been arrogant and looked down on everyone. There was a flash of anger in his eyes, no, it was more like hatred, which flashed away.

Yu Xiaoqiao frowned and thought deeply, feeling surprised, and thought of the person who sneaked into the house that night.

When he withdrew his gaze, he inadvertently swept across Si Wenming's face and noticed that his expression was not right. He felt heavy-hearted at this moment.

Ever since that day in Yanmei Valley, Yu Xiaoqiao felt as if he was weighed down by a thousand mountains and seas, and she always tried her best to restrain herself and conceal it.

Yu Xiaoqiao turned around, held the book up to cover him, held his hand, and looked at him tenderly.

Si Wenming smiled faintly in response.

You understand his unspeakable difficulties, and he understands your silence better than a thousand words.

Si Wenming never asked about her secret, and Yu Xiaoqiao never asked about the heaviness in his heart, and never even tried to test him.

Maybe it's maturity, or full trust, knowing that those who can speak can speak, and those who can't speak don't need to be asked.

The stars blink, shining silently.

When Si Wenming came in the evening, he was in a much better mood.

"What should we do with the severed fingers?" Si Wenming asked quietly.

Yu Xiaoqiao played the zither and said, "Bury it. Daiyu buried the flowers and held a memorial ceremony."

"If you don't hand him over to the second prince, will An Yu be severely punished?" Si Wenming stroked her hand, and the two of them put their hands together and plucked the strings of the zither.

Yu Xiaoqiao tilted her head to play the zither. The melodious sound of the zither enveloped her soft voice. Her heart was filled with peace and tranquility. "Sweep the snow in front of your door. Don't mind other people's business. There is cause and effect!"

"Don't you hate him?" Si Wenming asked curiously.

Yu Xiaoqiao smiled lightly and said calmly, "It's not worth it. It's not necessary. Scum is everywhere. If you hate them, how tiring it would be! Besides, there is a long and fine ash between us and evil. Who can judge the sins of the world on behalf of the King of Hell? Besides, I'm afraid I'll get caught in a trap again if I'm not careful..."

"Aren't you going to investigate the person behind this?" Si Wenming held down her hand that was playing the zither, and the sound of the zither stopped abruptly.

Yu Xiaoqiao grinned and said, "We must investigate! We must investigate thoroughly! It's not worth getting angry about, but if you don't worry about thieves stealing, you must worry about thieves thinking about it. We must be on guard against hidden arrows, otherwise I might have died an unjust death long ago. Hehe!"

Si Wenming lightly scratched Yu Xiaoqiao's nose bridge, "You are so insightful and open-minded!"

"Life is hard, so why make it hard on yourself! Loving yourself is the beginning of a beautiful life." Yu Xiaoqiao tapped Si Wenming's forehead and said with a smile.

Si Wenming raised his head and asked, "Tomorrow night at Piaoxiang Garden?"

"Yes! We will go to Piaoxiang Garden tomorrow night!" Yu Xiaoqiao shouted with her arms raised.

The three of them arrived at Piaoxiang Garden.

The dancing face is like jade, and the zither music is like gold.

Yu Xiaoqiao is dressed like a rich young man, surrounded by beauties, enjoying fine wine and delicious food, he is so happy!

Li Lingyan played dice and drank with the girls and had a lot of fun!

Si Wenming sat far away at the dining table, tasting grape wine alone.

"Mom, please ask Mr. Zhuang to come over and tell him that a distinguished guest has arrived!" Li Lingyan raised a gold ingot in his hand, patted the madam's palm and called out.

My mother looked at the gold with sparkling eyes and said with an embarrassed look, "Young Master is very generous, but Mr. Zhuang has been unwell recently and cannot see guests."

"If you don't come, Piaoxiang Garden might not be open until tonight." Si Wenming took a sip of wine and said lightly.

Although the tone was gentle, it was full of murderous intent.

The madam looked at him and shuddered. She said hurriedly, "Mom, I'll go and invite him right away!"

half an hour.

Zhuang Simei came in a purple dress. Although she was wearing makeup, her face was still pale.

Yu Xiaoqiao quietly released a mind-reading butterfly from her sleeve.

"Sir, you didn't teach yesterday. We missed you so much that we came to visit you." Yu Xiaoqiao handed Zhuang Simei a cup of tea and said leisurely.

If it weren't for you, why would I be stabbed?

Zhuang Simei glanced at her, forced a smile at the corner of her lips, and said in a very gentle tone: "Thank you for your kindness. I'm fine. I just caught a cold. I will be fine after resting for two days."

Yu Xiaoqiao thought to herself: You got stabbed, was it my fault? You can be shot! It's true that when you are at home, disasters come from the sky.

Li Lingyan secretly took the jade pendant from Yu Xiaoqiao's hand, handed it to Zhuang Simei, and said with a smile: "Sir, have you seen this jade pendant?"

[What's going on? It was clearly buried with the boy's body! No wonder the master stabbed me, something must have gone wrong.]

Zhuang Si's eyebrows tightened slightly, and then a smile spread across his face: "This is the finest white jade, is it your Highness's?"

Yu Xiaoqiao thought: Is it really you? But who is the master? Is he cruel enough? He just stabbed such a beautiful woman with a knife. But you hate me instead of him? Your brain circuit is really invincible!

Li Lingyan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's mine. It disappeared a few days ago, and it flew back these two days. I was confused and wondered if it fell in Miaoyinfang a while ago."

[You are lying with your eyes open! It was obviously Yu Xiaoqiao who lost it. ]

Zhuang Simi looked at Si Wenming meaningfully, his brows slightly curved: "I really didn't notice it. Since it can be returned, it shouldn't be lost. It should be kept properly!"

Si Wenming seemed to be listening but not really listening, and he just kept drinking cup after cup of wine.

Yu Xiaoqiao stood up and put her arm around Zhuang Simei's shoulders. Seeing her frowning, she smiled wickedly in her heart.

[It hurts so much! Are you doing this on purpose?! Are you really that smart? No wonder the master treats you differently!]

Yu Xiaoqiao felt her temples throb, thinking: Where did this master come from? I am not a flower that attracts bees and butterflies!

Yu Xiaoqiao suppressed her anger and said leisurely, "Sister Zhuang is so beautiful, there must be many people who are attracted to her!"

[There are many flies! But he is the only one who has amazed me in my life. 】

A flash of sadness flashed across Zhuang Si's eyes, and he said calmly: "Sister Qiao is cute and lovely, and everyone in the world loves her. Flowers bloom when they see her."

[Humph! You are such a vixen! Sooner or later, everyone will hate you, but the flowers will never fade.]

Yu Xiaoqiao belched twice, and couldn't help but act out Zhuang Simei's thoughts.

I thought: Hey! No matter what, there will always be people who don't like you! After all, I am not good at dealing with people, and I can't please everyone in the world. I can only be myself, wake up, and be happy!

Zhuang Simei was shocked and thought: You - know what I am thinking?

Yu Xiaoqiao patted Li Lingyan: "I drank too much and my stomach is upset. Let's go!"

"We have been drinking for more than thirty minutes, and the teacher has come to visit. Let's go back." Si Wenming put down the wine glass.
