Xiao Mubei had his own plans, and Chu Yunxi would not interfere. After breakfast, she went to the prison to see Yue Haoran and told him everything that happened yesterday.

Yue Qingyun was in the next cell and heard everything clearly. When he heard that Wu Di was dead, he burst into tears. For more than 20 years, Wu Di had been both his father and teacher. He had even cruelly abandoned the princess who had just been born, all for Nan Di's long-term plan.

Twenty years of painstaking planning were destroyed in one day. His master died and all his plans fell through. He was heartbroken. Now the only person he cared about was Yue Haoran.

The father and son may have to die at the same time this time. He is unwilling to accept this. The child is still so young, but how can he save him now? He can only be cruel and deny him, let him hate him, and pray that in the next life, he will not meet such an irresponsible father like himself again.

Fortunately, before I died, I could still stay with my son for a few days in this way. Although we didn't talk, it was good to be able to see him a few more times.

When Yue Haoran heard the news of Wu Di's death, he didn't say anything for a long time. He didn't know whether he was sad or happy. He had been living a lie for more than 20 years, making one mistake after another and there was no way back.

But after all, Wu Di taught him a lot of skills, practiced sword with him on snowy days, and took him fishing in the river. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings, but the most profound impression his master left on him was his strictness.

It is said that strict teachers produce excellent students. I don't know if Wu Di had too high expectations of him, but he was very strict with him from the day he arrived. When other brothers made mistakes, they only had to face the wall for an hour, but when he made a mistake, he had to kneel for six hours in a rainy night.

It was a pitch-black night, he was soaked all over, his knees were bleeding, and the little boy had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it. No one dared to come out to look at him, because the master had given a strict order that anyone who dared to sympathize with him or give him an umbrella would be punished along with him.

From then on, he became more cautious in his words and actions, but the rebellious nature in his bones never disappeared.

The only time the master was kind to him was when he and the eldest senior brother accompanied him to the river to catch fish. That seemed to be the most relaxing memory in his memory.

Love or hate, it will all disappear, Yue Haoran smiled bitterly, everything will end, the master is dead, the eldest brother will also die, and so will he.

Chu Yunxi saw him lost in memories, and thought of the letter she had read last night. She sorted out the news about the Loyal and Brave Marquis Chu Xiuyao in her mind, and then said, "Yue Haoran, do you know who I am?"

Ever since Yue Haoran met Chu Yunxi, he saw her always following Xiao Mubei in interrogation and questioning. He subconsciously always thought that Chu Yunxi was also a constable from the Dali Temple, or someone close to Xiao Mubei. When Chu Yunxi asked him this, he realized that he really didn't know Chu Yunxi's true identity.

"You are…"

Seeing that he didn't know, Chu Yunxi turned around and ordered Bai Yu, "Take him to the interrogation room. No one is allowed in except you and me."

Bai Yu was ordered by Xiao Mubei to stay behind to assist Chu Yunxi and protect her safety. Naturally, he obeyed her orders and went to do it immediately.

Soon, Chu Yunxi, Yue Haoran and Bai Yu were the only ones left in the soundproof interrogation room.

Yue Haoran didn't know what was going on, and looked at Chu Yunxi with some suspicion. Chu Yunxi said, "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chu Yunxi, and I am the youngest daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Chu Xiuyao."

Yue Haoran was startled, "You are Chu Xiuyao's daughter? Isn't the Chu family..."

“The family was confiscated and the clan was exterminated?” Chu Yunxi laughed at herself. “Maybe my father is blessing me and letting me live so that I can redress their injustice!”

Yue Haoran was silent for a while, "You came to me because you want to know the truth about that battle?"

Chu Yunxi asked back, "Are you willing to tell me now?"

Yue Haoran was silent again. "In that matter, I was only responsible for killing Xiao Mubei. As for Chu Xiuyao, I only know that my master wrote a letter to him, trying to persuade him to surrender. The emperor of Dasui was incompetent, and a person like Chu Xiuyao would not be valued in Dasui. But Chu Xiuyao replied that every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of a country. He, Chu Xiuyao, fought for Dasui and would never betray his country. He would fight for Dasui until his last drop of blood."

When Chu Yunxi heard Yue Haoran retell Chu Xiuyao's words, she felt her heart beating fast. Combined with the memories of the original owner's father, she seemed to be able to see Chu Xiuyao saying these words passionately!

She even felt that what Wu Di said in the letter was right. Emperor Sui Ming really did not deserve such a loyal and brave marquis!

"After reading the letter, the master sneered and said, 'This old man is just as I thought. I knew he would never surrender.' I didn't understand, so I asked the master, 'Since you knew you couldn't persuade him to surrender, why did you write to him?'"

Yue Haoran paused for a moment, thinking of the expression on his master's face at that time. It was ruthless, but also full of regret. "Master said that since the sword cannot be used by me, it can only be destroyed."

"Later, I learned that the master had found a craftsman who was good at imitating handwriting, and wrote a reply letter in Chu Xiuyao's handwriting. This letter was later considered the most powerful evidence to convict the Loyal and Brave Marquis."

So that's how it is. Chu Yunxi clenched her fists. The original owner's father was so wronged. He died on the battlefield, but was accused of collaborating with the enemy. Just a copycat letter cost the lives of the entire Chu family. How sad!

"As for that battle, I didn't participate. At that time, we were determined to kill Xiao Mubei. We poisoned him, sent people to assassinate him, and spread all kinds of rumors to kill Xiao Mubei, just to make Chu Xiuyao disperse his forces and send people to escort Xiao Mubei back to Beijing. All our people were waiting to kill him halfway. As for Chu Xiuyao, in addition to giving him a muscle softening powder, the Nandi Army also sent all its troops to attack that night. Even so, it was said that it took three days and three nights to kill Chu Xiuyao. After his death, his body remained standing. The Nandi Army was also shocked and admired him very much. They ordered their soldiers not to desecrate the body."

Chu Yunxi was heartbroken after hearing these short words. Her father died for his country in such a fierce battle. If he knew that after his death, the Emperor Dasui, whom he fought to protect, ordered the confiscation of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's family and the extermination of the clan, would he regret his choice?

The answer will never be known. Chu Yunxi clenched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery died so tragically, she must give him justice and let the world know the injustice of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!

"Then who killed my two brothers?" Chu Yunxi asked almost gritting her teeth. The original owner's two biological brothers, Chu Yuanxi and Chu Zhongxi, were killed while protecting Xiao Mubei. It should be Yue Haoran and others who did it.
