The Regent Princess has run away again

"Miss, these are all papers written by the lady."

Xiaoqiu walked in quickly, handed over the letter, and then stepped aside, her heart beating fast.

Xue Zhiyu took it, then picked up the letter paper from the man, compared the two, and couldn't help but show a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!" After saying that, she threw the letter at the man's face.

The man was shocked by this action, he lowered his head and tremblingly picked up the letter on the ground, his face became paler the more he looked at it, his lips trembled as if he was trying to make up something for himself.

Prime Minister Xue frowned, as if he had noticed something was wrong. He stood up and glanced at the letter in the man's hand. The veins on his forehead suddenly bulged.

"Tell me! Who sent you here?!"

"I...I may have come to the wrong place. No one is telling me..."

Feeling the pressure from the superior, the man couldn't help but bury his head on the ground. He secretly glanced in the direction of Madam Xue. When he saw the warning in her eyes, he had to bite his lower lip, but the cold sweat on his body even more came out.

"Wrong place? Did you know that the words on the Prime Minister's Mansion were written by the late emperor himself? I can sue you for disrespecting the royal family!"

Prime Minister Xue looked at Xue Zhiyu, who was standing next to him and speaking slowly. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Villain..." The man didn't expect her to say this. Just hearing the accusation, he almost blurted out the man's name.

Before the man could finish, Madam Xue interrupted him, "Since it's a misunderstanding, just drive them away. If it's too embarrassing, it will also damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Madam is talking about......"

Mrs. Xue turned her head and looked at Xue Zhiyu who agreed with her with a little surprise. Has this damn girl changed her personality?

But before she could think of anything else, Xue Zhiyu continued, "But I think it's a bit inappropriate to handle it this way. Others will think that our Prime Minister's Mansion is weak and easy to bully. We can forgive anyone who comes to make trouble. But if this matter gets reported to the court, it will be my father's shame."

Mrs. Xue was immediately speechless. Prime Minister Xue on the side also nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at Xue Zhiyu and asked, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"

"I think we should start with the security guard. How did this man get in without the security guard's permission? He scammed my mother today, but who knows if he will scam my wife or...what about you, father?"

Xue Zhiyu deliberately raised her voice when she said the last sentence, but her eyes were fixed on Madam Xue. When she saw her subconsciously pinching the handkerchief in her hand, she understood.

"fourteen."

A dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, his expressionless face made it impossible to tell his emotions.

"You heard it too, right? Go and investigate this matter thoroughly for me."

"Yes."

As soon as Fourteen finished speaking, he disappeared again.

Madam Xue panicked all of a sudden. Fourteen was the master's personal guard. He would never show up unless something serious happened. But now he showed up for this matter. If the master found out...

It seemed that this person could not be kept. After making a decision in her heart, Mrs. Xue winked at the maid behind her.

The maid behind her understood and quietly retreated from the front hall.

..........

Just when the atmosphere became a little awkward, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

"Why is it so lively today? Is Sister Zhiyu feeling better?"

When Xue Zhiyu heard this, her body trembled subconsciously, and some messy fragments flashed in her mind. Those were the memories of her original body.

He frowned and looked up at the person who came.

A man in a light blue robe walked in slowly, wearing a white jade crown on his head. He had a handsome face, but the viciousness between his eyebrows could not be ignored.

"Zi Han, why are you here?" Mrs. Xue walked over and asked with concern.

"I planned to come back to visit my parents when I had nothing to do, but I am ashamed that I can't spare the time on weekdays."

"Hey, it's good that you have such a thoughtful heart. Don't tire yourself out," Mrs. Xue greeted her again.

Prime Minister Xue then looked straight at Xue Zihan, his face calm, "Men should focus on their careers. You are not young anymore, it's time to consider starting a family."

"Father is right," Xue Zihan bowed, glanced at Xue Zhiyu out of the corner of his eye, and then looked away.

But this glance made Xue Zhiyu extremely uncomfortable, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, especially the look he gave her when he came in, which was full of surprise and a bit of amusement.

Xue Zihan stood up and nodded to Aunt Zhou, "Aunt, how are you these days?"

"Thanks to the master, everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, young master," Aunt Zhou stood up and returned the greeting.

"I've heard about this, too. Sister Zhiyu is wronged. As for the man who broke in, let the government handle it. I've already dismissed the servants guarding the gate, so don't bother father to use manpower to investigate. By the way, grandpa asked me to give my regards to father."

For some reason, these few casual words destroyed everything she had done. This person was really... so powerful, but she still couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Xue.

Mrs. Xue heaved a sigh of relief after listening to Xue Zihan's words. She knew that the master was most wary of his father, so she was sure that the master would not touch her now. Thinking of this, a hint of pride appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Xue slowly said, "Since Zi Han has made this decision, let the government handle it. Tell your grandfather that everything is fine for me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he shook his sleeves and left.

"Yes, I wish you a happy farewell, father," Xue Zihan responded and bowed again.

After Prime Minister Xue walked away, Xue Zihan's eyes turned cold and he said, "Come here, take him to the government office, and ask Lord Mo to take good care of him for me."

The man almost fainted when he heard this, and hurriedly crawled over to hug Xue Zihan's legs, "Master Xue, please let me go, I am innocent, it's..."

"Take people away!"

Before the man could finish his words, several strong men rushed in from outside, pulled the man on the ground up in three or five moves, stuffed a tattered towel into his mouth, and dragged him out of the door.

Xue Zhiyu clenched her hands on her sleeves, knowing that it was meaningless to pursue the matter any further. That man would never walk out of prison alive, and there was no need to know the so-called "truth".

"Sister Zhiyu, I have asked the servants to make some soup for you and Auntie to calm your nerves."

"Well, thank you, Master Xue," Xue Zhiyu said indifferently.

"Why do you feel so unfamiliar? Just call me Brother Zi Han like Yu Lu and the others."

"How dare Zhiyu call Young Master Xue like my second sister and the others? My mother and I have something else to do, so we'll go back first," Xue Zhiyu said, bowed, walked over to support Aunt Zhou and walked out the door.

Xue Zihan didn't say anything. He looked at Xue Zhiyu's back thoughtfully as she left. It was becoming more and more interesting.

"Zi Han is lucky to have you, otherwise it would be terrible if the master found out," Mrs. Xue walked forward and said with relief.

"Be careful next time. That girl is not the same as before."

After Xue Zihan finished speaking, he walked out without caring how ugly Mrs. Xue's expression was.

...........

"Miss, you should take a rest. You have been sitting by the window for a while," Xiao Qiu sighed, put the shawl on her shoulders and spoke.

"Well, Xiaoqiu, go and rest first, don't worry about me."

Xue Zhiyu looked at the moon by the window, her thoughts having drifted away to who knows where.

"Miss, don't sit for too long. It's windy at night and you might catch a cold," Xiao Qiu said, still a little worried. She tied the shawl, bowed, and slowly walked out.

The night wind blew gently on her face, and Xue Zhiyu gradually felt sleepy. After blowing out the candle on the table, she tightened her shawl, got up and walked to the bed, put the shawl aside, and went to sleep with her clothes on.

........

"Don't... please... brother..."

In the dream, a little girl in beige clothes curled up in the corner of the bed, looking at the indifferent man beside the bed with pleading eyes.

Because Xue Zhiyu couldn't see the man's appearance clearly at night, but when the girl looked up, she saw clearly, this... isn't this the original body?

"Look at what you said, Xiao Yu'er. Brother loves you very much. Come here quickly. Brother will give you a gift." The man seemed to take out something from behind him. When Xue Zhiyu saw it clearly, her eyes were full of fear, not to mention the original body who was still young.

"Brother, please let Yu'er go. Yu'er will definitely be obedient in the future. I don't want this..."

When the little girl saw that thing, she couldn't help shaking and her pretty face was covered with tear marks.

"Oh? I thought Xiao Yuer liked this very much, so she brought several bottles here specially," the man said and shook his head regretfully.

"I...ah!! Um..."

Before she could finish, the man pulled her out from the corner and poured the contents of the bottle into the little girl's mouth.

Watching the original body's eyes change from despair at the beginning to confusion at the end, and then watching how the man manipulated her, Xue Zhiyu felt like she couldn't breathe. It was clearly just a dream, but it was so real.

She wanted to wake up and didn’t want to watch any more. This dream was too scary!

"call!"

Xue Zhiyu felt like it took a lot of effort to come back from her dream, and she sat up all of a sudden.

She didn't know when her back was covered in sweat. Looking at the bright moon still hanging high in the sky outside the window, Xue Zhiyu covered her rapidly beating heart, still not recovering from the dream.

Who was the brother that the original body called? There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but the person's face seemed to be covered by a black cloth and could not be seen clearly at all.

Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her face, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She got out of bed, went to the cupboard, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hair.

After a long while, he lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Outside the window, a black shadow flashed, glanced at the sleeping Xue Zhiyu for a few seconds, and then disappeared into the night, leaving only a slight sound.
