After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Yingge looked up at Xue and said, "Mom, why are you crying?"

Xiao Taohong also looked up when she heard the voice, and exclaimed in surprise.

Xue wiped her tears and said, "No, maybe the wind was a bit strong when I came here just now and blew my eyes." As she walked over, she said, "You must be hungry. I'll go cook dinner now."

"Did the master scold you?"

Xue said, "No, I started crying before he had the chance to say anything to me, so he was too embarrassed to say anything to me." After saying this, Xue's mother winked cunningly to show that she was very powerful.

Yingge smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. I believe the government will give us justice."

Xue turned around and patted Xiao Taohong's head, saying, "Go to the kitchen and light the fire. We can talk now." Seeing Xiao Taohong go in, Xue pulled Yingge into the room, closed the door and said, "Ge'er, why bother with her? This is troublesome. We have angered the adults in Shangjing, and this is not easy to deal with."

Yingge said, "How can we just ignore it? They want to capture Baoer, what can we do? Doesn't this give Master Liu an excuse to kick us out?"

Didn't she do all this for the sake of justice? Did we overestimate her? Xue was a little surprised and said, "But even if Bao'er was not arrested, Master Liu might have a chance to drive us away. After all, you are a woman, and he knows it."

"Then he won't dare to do that at least in the short term."

Xue stroked her shoulder and said, "Now that we have offended someone, the master doesn't need to find any excuses. Just now he asked me to force you to apologize to those officials in the capital, and even to cancel the engagement on his own initiative, just to escort you to pay for your crime..." Having said this, she looked around and said, "Ge'er, why don't we run away."

Yingge laughed dumbly. This was the reaction that Xue's mother should have. She lowered her voice and said, "If we run away now, we will be at a loss. Mother, listen to me. After all, I am just a child. I am still proclaiming my righteousness in public. Even Master Liu would not dare to force me openly. Even the government can only go to him, not me. We have to wait until he is helpless and agrees to cancel the engagement. Even the people outside will pity me. In this way, he will not dare to do it openly. At that time, we can run away... By then, we will have both benefits and reputation."

When Xue heard her say this, she was stunned. She thought to herself that she was not like Mr. Zichun at all. Instead, she was in cahoots with those powerful officials in the court who framed Qinggui. Lord Du had seen them before. She should never speak to those people easily, otherwise she would be framed as soon as she spoke. Now she looked at Yingge in front of her, moved her lips, and finally murmured in silence.

Yingge put his arm around her shoulders, patted her and said, "It's okay, don't worry, everything will be fine. Mom, I'm hungry, let's go and cook."

Xue had no choice but to be pushed to the kitchen by Yingge, and Xiao Taohong was driven out.

While she was cleaning up the food, she looked at Yingge who was reading in the inner room. She couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

At this time, she was not the only one who did not understand. There were also Mr. Zichun, Mr. Lu and Prefect Liang who were invited to the government office.

Mr. Zichun took off his cloak, not showing any happiness, because he did not want to come here. "The prefect invited me late at night. If there is something that cannot be handed over to Mr. Lu, must we meet?"

Mr. Lu knew that Mr. Zichun must be unhappy to be called here for no reason, so he could only persuade him, "You must be asked to come here because there is only something you can do."

Mr. Zichun said, "I am not an official, I am just a teacher."

The two wanted to talk, but someone came to invite Mr. Zichun in first. It was probably about face or other matters. Neither Mr. Zichun nor Prefect Liang felt it was convenient for others to see them together. Mr. Lu made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Zichun, and Mr. Zichun could only go in first with a gloomy face.

The corridor was wide and the inner hall was dim. It took several doors to reach the prefect's place. It was a study with closed doors and windows. After Mr. Zichun went in, even the door was closed.

Mr. Zichun looked at the prefect Liang in front of him with a stern face and said, "What do you want me to do? Don't you know that this is very dangerous?"

Liang Jingtian raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir Shang, you also know the danger, so can you remember your identity?"

What? What a mess. Mr. Zichun frowned again and asked, "What happened?"

Liang Jingtian recounted what happened today. Mr. Zichun was stunned after listening to it, and then said with a complicated expression, "She is quite courageous."

"Bah, what kind of courage is this? Do you know how dangerous it is today? Do you know that Zhang Zhe and Liao Chengyi are here to find her? Do you know what the situation is now? If they really fight that day, there will be a river of blood. If we don't investigate, she will take her away..."

If this is really the case today, then Mo City must be... I can't even imagine it.

Mr. Zichun said, "I see you don't know anything either, and you made those two suspicious of us for no reason."

"You think I want to call you here? If I had a choice, I would call you here today to tell you that you are here to be the emperor's teacher, not to be a teacher. You should teach her the way of the emperor, not be like those stupid and pedantic people who know nothing, don't know how to advance or retreat, and overestimate their own abilities..."

He angrily yelled a series of curses, and Mr. Zichun's face turned blue with anger. He thought to himself, what's wrong with me? What did I teach her? I didn't even speak a few words to her, and she behaved like a warrior. It was obvious that she was led by that group of warriors.

"Don't scold me for now. Let me see how to solve this matter first."

"What else can we do? Let Liu Wenru send Miss Liu to admit her fault, and then let them make trouble together. Are they the kind of brainless children?"

.......

In Yi Garden, Liao Chengyi burst into laughter.

"Sir, how about I go over there and capture the man tonight?" the red-robed guard said flatteringly.

Liao Cheng said, "Why do we need to do this? We can just sit and wait."

Zhang Zhe said, "How do you want to be?"

"Of course we are waiting for someone to come to us. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for us to ask. In the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it be that once Lord Lu dies, all those evil spirits will appear, and we can't even control the situation, and we will be laughed at for nothing."

The red-robed guard hesitated and asked, "What if they pretend not to understand and don't deliver it to us?"

"Ha, that's easy. Let's keep searching for the suspect, just to let the Liu family see who has the final say in Mo City now. This is no joke. Let Liang Jingtian see what it looks like to truly appease the people and plead for them."

"What the lord means is that we should investigate the case in a larger direction, preferably as large as possible. We will also arrest the person strictly, so that the people of Mocheng can see what the consequences of obstructing our people from doing their work are."

The red-robed guard nodded in agreement when he heard what he said, then turned and left.

The red-robed guards walked outside, raised their heads and looked upwards, their expressions somewhat gloomy. After all, Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe were not as majestic as Lord Lu. If Lord Lu was here, the entry would never have happened. Unfortunately, Lord Lu is now sleeping in the ground, and they, as subordinates, are restricted in what they can do.

At daybreak, a carriage came out of Liu's house with Yingge and Xiao Taohong sitting in the carriage. When Liu Wenru heard that they were out, he called Xue over.

"Why do you still have to go to school when it has come to this? I'm not saying that you..."

Xue told Liu Wenru what Yingge had said to her, and repeated it to her. "She said, don't worry, everything will be fine as usual, and then she went back to study with peace of mind."

Liu Wenru was stunned just by hearing these words, "This is too despicable and shameless..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xue looked at him, and Liu Wenru shuddered immediately and changed his tone, "Sure enough, he is agile and quick-witted, which is admirable."

Xue didn't respond to him, but just sat there rubbing her temples.

Liu Wenru asked cautiously, "Master Pei, what do you think?"

"I miss Master Du."

What's the answer? Why did he still think of Lord Du?

Yingge is no longer the child who listened to her in everything. She has grown up now and knows how to deal with many things. She has never raised a child like this and she doesn't know what to do.

As the sky gradually brightened, more people were walking around in the streets. Many shops opened their doors, and horse-drawn carriages were swaying slowly in the streets. People outside could even see Yingge and Xiao Taohong sitting in the carriages.

Yesterday's incident caused such a big fuss that everyone was worried all night, but in the end, the protagonist of the story was able to go to school peacefully today. People on the street looked over with fear and uneasiness on their faces, and some even subconsciously stayed away from the carriage.

Some people were afraid, and so was no one. Seeing the carriage approaching from a distance, the woman who was packing fish at the door of the shop hurriedly stood up and greeted it.

"Yingge, Yingge," she called out.

Yingge leaned out of the car window and said, "Aunt, do you know my name?"

The fishmonger said, "Yes, yes, you were in the limelight yesterday. Now, almost everyone in Mo City knows you. Did you drink too much yesterday?"

Yingge waved her hands and said: No, it’s not!

The aunt asked again, "Are you going to sue the officials now?"

Hearing the woman's question, the people walking around pricked up their ears and waited for her answer. "No, I'm going to study."

Everyone around was shocked when they heard her words. She was still studying in such a state. As she was talking, the carriage gradually drove away. The woman hurriedly asked, "So you are not going to sue?"

"Well, I can't make the decision. It depends on the other party..." After saying this, Yingge waved her hand and left.

That depends on what the other party means. People on the street are watching the carriage go away. Yingge stretched out her hand and shook it, and it seems that the temperament of a scholar can be seen from her movements.

"How can that be said? She remains calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of her. Isn't that what she is like?" Yes, yes.

"This young man has spirit and courage."

"Hmph, how dare you? You are just a child and you are so obsessed with beauty that you have lost your mind."

"She still wants to tell others that she has read a few more books and has lost her mind. Just wait and see how she can still act when she is caught."

There was a lot of discussion in the street market, but the fish-selling lady did not join in the discussion. She squatted down and continued to clean the fish. She clenched the handle of the knife with both hands. After a few thuds, the fish in her hands turned into thin slices.

"What should I do... What should I do... Cut the fish, cut the fish."
