The Governor-General of the Jiuzhou Canal Transport was a second-rank official of the imperial court and was posted in Huaiyang Prefecture.

Why would they come all the way to Kyoto and end up in such a mess?

"Aunt, now is not the time to cry. You have to tell me what happened so that I can help you."

Madam Yuan's maiden name was Qingyun. She got married earlier than her sister Gu Qingyun and she also had a son.

When her elder sister gave birth, she was also pregnant with her little daughter. When the news that her elder sister died in childbirth and her niece was sent to Cangzhou reached Huaiyang, she was so anxious that she wanted to give birth immediately. After giving birth to her little daughter, she was seriously injured and had been sick for so many years. She could hardly leave her room, let alone travel far.

The doctor said that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. If she continues to be depressed, she may not live long.

Madam Yuan suddenly hugged Mu Qingyan and whispered in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Someone wants to harm us. Please, for the sake of our blood relationship, take Ying'er away. If she wants to report to the police, I'll go..."

Before he could finish his words, the bailiffs from Jingzhao Prefecture came rushing over.

They wanted to take the person away without any explanation. Mu Qingyan and Yuzhan protected the person behind them. "Please look carefully, all the officers. My aunt's carriage was going straight. It was clearly the carriage of the second young master's wife of the Marquis of Xiangning Mansion that suddenly turned and hit her. Even if you have to take the blame, she is the one you should arrest!"

The people who had just seen it with their own eyes began to speak up.

"Yes, I saw it. It was clearly the young lady's carriage that suddenly jumped out of the alley and hit her..."

"I saw it too!"

"I saw it, too..."

Lan Hui was a little flustered when she saw so many people speaking up for the mother and daughter. The frame-up was untenable in the first place, and since so many people had seen it, the police could not just ignore the facts and forcibly arrest the people.

The prefect of Jingzhao originally didn't want to show up, but the people were in high spirits, so he had to come out and say a few words. Otherwise, if the people couldn't leave today, he would lose the black hat on his head.

"The Second Young Master's wife was too frightened by the collision. As the chief official of Kyoto, if someone reports a crime, I must take the person away for questioning regardless of right or wrong. Miss Mu's intentional obstruction is obstruction of public duties. I have the right to arrest you and deal with you according to the law."

"It's not uncommon for carriages to collide with each other on the street, but if there are no serious casualties, most of them are resolved by themselves, and they just make amends to each other. I'm very curious about why the Second Young Master's wife would report such a small matter to the police and arrest the person? If you are injured, there is a clinic across the street. The doctor will know how much compensation you should pay after taking your pulse. I will pay the price!"

When she heard that she needed to find a doctor, Lan Hui hurriedly stood up and said, "I can't find a doctor. I'm fine. I won't report to the police!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry without looking back.

The officials will not investigate unless the people sue them. Since the so-called victims no longer pursue the matter, the Jingzhao Prefecture has no reason to arrest anyone.

The prefect of Jingzhao threw his sleeves and headed back to his residence, "Let's go!"

After watching the people leave, Mu Qingyan frowned thoughtfully, "Aunt, are there any important items in the carriage?"

Madam Yuan shook her head. "The carriage and the driver are our own. We came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything. The important things are all on us..."

"Take my carriage, and let the driver follow."

A Shu had already driven the carriage over.

After helping the mother and daughter get into the car and sit down, Mu Qingyan said, "Ashu, let's go to the palace."

"Yes, young lady." Madam Yuan and her daughter were targeted as soon as they entered the capital. If they were allowed to be taken away by the people of Jingzhao Prefecture today, they would probably be found dead. She might not be able to protect them if she returned to the Duke's Mansion, but if they entered Prince Ling's Mansion, those who wanted to take action against them would have to think carefully.

After Madam Yuan got on the carriage, her pounding heart finally settled down a little. But when she looked at her niece who had lost the protection of her mother at a young age and was sent far away to a foreign land and had suffered so much, she felt so sad that her brows furrowed.

I want to get close to her, but I'm afraid she'll get bored.

After all, for more than ten years, she, as an aunt, had never taken care of her. She was really incompetent...

The first time we met today, she helped me so much.

"Yan'er, which prince's mansion are you taking us to?" She still had matters of life and death to resolve, so she had to put the guilt in her heart aside for the time being.

"King Ling."

Madam Yuan was overjoyed when she heard this. Yuan Ying was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "That's great! My mother and I were worried about how we could meet Prince Ling!"

They looked miserable and must have suffered a lot on the way.

Anyway, when she arrived at Prince Ling's Mansion, she knew what had happened, so she naturally didn't ask at the moment.

Madam Yuan did not confess why she came to Kyoto. She was not afraid that Mu Qingyan had ulterior motives, but this matter was serious, and the more people knew about it, the more dangerous it would be. Today, she was probably involved...

"Yan'er, how have you been these years..." Actually, there's no need to ask. Without a mother and living under someone else's roof, how can you have a good life...

It’s a pity that she is not in good health and is far away in Huaiyang.

My father and his men were stationed at Chiling Pass, so when my sister left, there was no one around her...

She once sent people to Cangzhou to bring her to their side, but after sending several groups of people, the people in Cangzhou either made excuses and refused to let her see anyone, or simply found a random child to fool them.

Later, the Duke of Fuguo sent a letter, saying that this was his Mu family's child after all, and that the Mu family's affairs did not need outsiders to intervene. If she forcibly took the child away, she would impeach her husband for bullying others, and she even threatened her late sister's reputation. The governor of the Jiuzhou Canal Transport was an eye-catching position, with so many people watching. Even the slightest mistake would bring disaster. Her sister had passed away, and she couldn't let her be criticized after her death...

She was afraid of bringing trouble to her husband and children, so she gave up the idea of ​​taking the person in.

Later, her condition became more serious. She was drowsy all day long and was hanging on for only one breath. She had no energy to think about these things anymore.

It was not until a year ago that a miraculous doctor passed by Huaiyang Prefecture while traveling, and her husband was fortunate enough to invite him. Her condition has improved since then. Otherwise, she would not have come all the way to Kyoto today, and she would not have been able to leave Huaiyang Prefecture and would have died.

"It was not easy when I was young, but now everything is fine." She couldn't say that your niece was dead.

Now there is someone else inside this shell.

But Mrs. Yuan didn't dare to imagine how much sadness was contained in such a light sentence.

Yuan Ying saw her mother's eyes were full of tears and couldn't help but explain. "Cousin, mother didn't mean to ignore you, she..."

Before he could finish, he was stopped by Madam Yuan.

It’s better for her to blame herself, so that she can feel better.
