It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"King Liang?"

Yuan Buwei told Lu Sui about the matter and saw that he didn't look surprised: "Have you dealt with Prince Liang?"

"How could I have ever dealt with him? It was before I set out on this expedition that Ye Jun, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, approached me..."

"Do you know Ye Shaoqing?" Yuan Buwei interrupted Lu Sui with a look of surprise.

"Yes..." Lu Sui nodded. "Once at a palace banquet, I saw him being harassed by several ministers, so I helped him. As a result, he even came to visit me afterwards. I thought he was taking the opportunity to get close to the Wanning Marquis Mansion, but he just thanked me. Although he was born in a poor family, he always sticks to his original intention and speaks for the people. I admire him very much and have had drinks with him several times."

Things will be easier if Lu Sui knows Ye Shaoqing.

Yuan Buwei thought for a moment and asked, "You just said that Ye Shaoqing had come to see you. Was it because of Prince Liang?"

"He did mention King Liang, but he didn't say what it was about. I was so focused on preparing for the expedition that I didn't ask him in detail. He asked me to borrow a few guards to help protect him."

"Isn't he the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple? Why does he need to borrow guards from you?"

"Although the emperor appointed him as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, his family background made it difficult for him to move forward in the court where there were so many aristocratic families. He came to me because I helped him out before. He thought I was very loyal, so he asked me for this. Otherwise, he would not have bothered me."

"Asking guards to protect him means he doesn't trust the guards in the Dali Temple. So what case is he investigating?" Yuan Buwei narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Sui. "My second brother and Zhu Xin rescued the woman who was killed by Prince Liang. Do you think these two things are related?"

Yuan Buwei said this in order to guide Lu Sui.

Although there is no evidence, it's just my guess.

But as long as he meets Ye Shaoqing once, he will know the truth.

"I've never heard that Ye Shaoqing has any dealings with Prince Liang?" Lu Sui's eyes showed a trace of doubt. "Ye Shaoqing is not like some ministers who form cliques and intrigues. He is honest and incorruptible, and he doesn't take sides. Is this the reason why Prince Liang feels offended?"

"He is the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. Do you think he may have discovered something during his investigation? But since you are about to go to war, he cannot tell you directly. He is also afraid of causing trouble for you. So he asked you to borrow a few guards... By the way, where are those guards? Where are they now?"

"I later asked Li Yan to make the arrangements, but Li Yan still hasn't told me until now..." Lu Sui hurriedly shouted at the door, "Chen Xiang, ask someone to go to the military camp and ask Li Yan to return home immediately. I have something important to ask him."

Li Yan, who had rushed back, faced the young marquis's question with a solemn expression and lowered his head, saying: "They all died to protect Ye Shaoqing."

"Dead?" Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui looked at each other and asked, "What about Ye Shaoqing? Is he okay?"

"He was badly injured. I went to ask around and it seems like he was investigating a missing girl case. In that operation, he brought the people you lent him, and the guards from the Dali Temple also died. And he was able to survive because his deputy risked his life to protect him. Ye Shaoqing was able to escape. He is now recuperating at home and is temporarily closed to visitors."

"Sister Bu Wei, Sister Bu Wei..." Meng Zhuxin rushed in from outside the door, with a panic on her face, "The flower girl woke up, but her condition seems to be very bad."

Yuan Buwei's face turned pale, and she followed Meng Zhuxin and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Room.

As soon as Yuan Buwei walked to the bedside, the flower girl held her hand tightly: "You saved me?"

"Yes, you are seriously injured now. If you have anything to say, I will wait for you..."

"No, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw those women staring at me. They asked me why I didn't save them." The flower girl said, crying and trembling. "You two look like rich and powerful people. Please, save them."

"What's your name?"

Yuan Buwei could see that the flower girl was very emotional. She must have been under too much psychological pressure, so she woke up halfway.

"I am Dingxiang. My parents are good at flower arrangement, so my family makes a living by growing and selling flowers." Dingxiang shuddered and continued, "My father accidentally sprained his waist, so I took his place to deliver the flowers they ordered to the Jadeite Building. Because I was not familiar with the roads in the capital, I accidentally walked into the alley behind the Jadeite Building and happened to see Liang and Prince Liang whispering to others about killing someone."

"Then did you hear clearly who the Liang King told the other party to kill?"

Ding Xiang shook her head: "I realized I was in the wrong place, so I tried to go back. I accidentally made some noise, and was discovered by them. I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up again, I found myself locked up with many other women."

"How could such a famous restaurant like Jade Tower do such a dirty thing?" Meng Zhuxin frowned.

Yuan Buwei didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she asked, "How many days did you stay there?"

"It's been nearly half a year now..." Ding Xiang said so much, and suddenly her breathing became a little rapid. She held Yuan Buwei's hand and said, "Husband, Madam, I know that people's words are scary, but if it weren't for those girls protecting me, I would have died long ago. Please..."

"I know. You take good care of your injuries and leave the other things to me." While Yuan Buwei was speaking, she used her backhand to insert several silver needles into several acupuncture points on the back of Dingxiang's neck.

A few seconds later.

Dingxiang fell headfirst onto Yuan Buwei and fainted.

"Sister Bu Wei, she?"

"She lost too much blood and was locked up for half a year. She has reached her physical and mental limits. If she hadn't wanted to save other women, she would have given up the will to live after being humiliated by Prince Liang." Yuan Buwei carefully removed the silver needle and let Dingxiang lie down. Looking at her pale face, she looked at her with admiration, "She is very brave. Zhuxin, ask Housekeeper Ye to find out about Dingxiang's family... Are they still alive?"

Meng Zhuxin bit her lower lip and nodded: "Okay, I'll go now. I really hope those girls will be okay."

"We can't afford to offend Prince Liang for the time being, and Ye Shaoqing can't go to see him for the time being, so as not to cause trouble for him. If we want to get the news about the Jade Building..." Yuan Buwei curled the corners of her lips. She was going to trouble her Uncle Chu again.

The moon is rising.

Chu Batian, who was extremely bored, jumped up from the couch the moment he saw Yuan Buwei appear, and drove away the three girls who were serving him.

"Xiao Wei'er? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have sent someone to pick you up."

Looking at Chu Batian who looked guilty, Yuan Buwei smiled and said, "Uncle Chu, are you living a comfortable life?"

"No, I'm just killing time." Chu Batian shrank his neck. When there was something going on, he was Yuan Buwei's elder. When there was nothing going on, Yuan Buwei was his ancestor.
