Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran, who were confused, looked bewildered.

This is this...

what's the situation?

They just arrived and have done nothing!

Why did General Li Mu and Madam Zheng look at them like that?

Du Mei had already concluded that Li Mu and Zheng would react like this, and now was not the time to speak out, she said.

"Miss Su, this is the General Li you're looking for. If you have anything important to tell him, just talk to him!"

Li Mu and Zheng finally came to their senses and retracted their inappropriate gazes.

Su Xiaoxiao took a step forward.

"On the way to Beijing, I was asked to personally deliver the evidence proving General Han Fei's innocence to General Li!"

When Li Mu heard that it was about Han Fei, his thick brows furrowed slightly.

"Who entrusted you with this?"

"It's General Han Fei's deputy general, General Peng Xuemin!"

Li Mu was slightly excited when he heard Peng Xuemin's name.

He had been looking for Peng Xuemin's whereabouts, but he had never been able to contact him. Unexpectedly, he met the little girl in front of him.

To be on the safe side, he asked a few more questions.

No matter what he asked, as long as it was about Peng Xuemin, Su Xiaoxiao could answer truthfully, and only then did he completely trust Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao gave the evidence found by Peng Xuemin to Li Mu.

"General Li, on my way to the capital, I encountered Brother Peng being chased by a group of people pretending to be yamen runners. Without further delay, please, General Li, quickly deliver the evidence to the Emperor, clear General Han's name, and save Brother Peng from this danger!"

Li Mu looked at the evidence in his hand and put it away immediately.

He clutched the evidence tightly in his hand and assured, "Don't worry, I'll go to the palace to see you immediately!"

He always believed that General Han Fei, who worked alongside him, was framed.

He has been secretly investigating the matter, but every time he made a discovery, the clues were suddenly cut off, as if there were a pair of invisible hands that didn't want him to find any evidence.

The more this happened, the more convinced he became of his point of view, and the more he wanted to find out the truth.

Now, with these evidences, it is enough to prove Han Fei's innocence and expose those who framed Han Fei to the public and bring them to justice.

Li Mu bowed to Du Mei, left quickly, and rode into the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran finally felt relieved.

The two looked at each other tacitly, the corners of their mouths raised, and the tension in their eyes disappeared.

They just hope that everything goes well and develops in a good direction.

After finishing the business, Su Xiaoxiao didn't plan to disturb him anymore.

"Thank you for your help, Madam. We apologize for disturbing you today. We will take our leave now and visit you again another day!"

Du Mei had no intention of letting Su Xiaoxiao go.

"Miss Su, do you have anything else urgent to do?"

"That's not the case, I just don't want to disturb the old lady's rest!"

"It's okay, it's okay. If you don't have anything else important to do, how about you just stay with me?"

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran looked at each other, and Xiao Ran nodded slightly.

No matter what, Du Mei helped them, so it was only right for them to stay and accompany her.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Sorry to bother you!"

"Don't bother me, don't bother me."

Du Mei gave a look to Nanny Shen beside her. Nanny Shen understood and turned away.

Ever since Li Mu left, Zheng's eyes have been on Su Xiaoxiao.

The more I look at Su Xiaoxiao, the more I feel that she looks like my deceased sister-in-law.

Du Mei said, "Will you accompany me out today?"

Hearing this, Zheng came to her senses and asked Du Mei, "Where are you going, mother?"

"Just follow me!"

"Yes!"

Zheng stood up and supported Du Mei, followed by Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran.

A group of people rode in a carriage and arrived at the residence of Gu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

When the doorman saw Du Mei and Zheng coming, he didn't dare to stop them. He took them directly to the main hall and asked someone to notify Gu Gaoxuan.

Zheng didn't understand what Du Mei meant at first, but when she arrived at Gu's house, she vaguely realized something.

She knew very well that her mother-in-law was always smart, decisive and unfathomable, so she just watched quietly.

After everyone sat down, Gu Gaoxuan hurried over from the backyard.

When he learned that Du Mei brought Zheng with her, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Since Li Manhui passed away, Du Mei has visited the Gu Mansion only a few times.

The few times it happened were all because of Gu Feiyao.

Recently, Gu Feiyao and Du Mei returned to Beijing from Linzhou Prefecture. I haven't heard what happened to Gu Feiyao. Then why did Du Mei come here?

He ran and muttered to himself.

When he ran to the main hall, he hurriedly stopped, took a few deep breaths, straightened his clothes, and seemed much calmer before stepping in.

He bowed his hands in salute.

"I didn't know my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were coming here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please don't blame me!"

Du Mei glanced at Gu Gaoxuan coldly and said, "It's okay. I came here suddenly without notifying you in advance."

"Mother-in-law, why did you come here in person? Is there something urgent?"

Du Mei pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said to Gu Gaoxuan, "Look at her!"

Only then did Gu Gaoxuan notice that there were two young men following Du Mei.

He turned sideways to look over, his pupils shrank slightly, his body stiffened, and he opened his mouth in disbelief.

"She...she...how come she looks so similar to Manhui!"

The exact same appearance made him almost think that Li Manhui had been resurrected.

Du Mei ignored Gu Gaoxuan's reaction and asked directly: "Gu Gaoxuan, have you taken good care of my granddaughter?"

Gu Gaoxuan just felt wronged.

"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law has always doted on Feiyao. You know this best!"

At this moment, Qiu Rui and Gu Feiyao, who received the news, also rushed over.

"I am late in getting Feiyao new clothes. Please forgive me, old lady and sister-in-law!"

Qiu Rui was promoted from a concubine to a second wife, but even so, she humbly called herself a slave in front of Du Mei and Zheng.

"Fei Yao didn't know that grandma and aunt were here, please don't blame me!"

Qiu Rui and Gu Feiyao knelt down and saluted Du Mei and Zheng.

Du Mei didn't say anything. After the two of them noticed Gu Gaoxuan's abnormality, they followed Gu Gaoxuan's gaze and found Su Xiaoxiao.

Qiu Rui was shocked.

This is this...

How can it be!

Gu Feiyao's face was full of anger.

"I didn't pay any attention to you before, but I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come to the capital? Since you want to be beaten, then I will grant you your wish!"

She became more and more angry as she spoke, and shouted to the outside.

"Someone, come here, drag this little bitch out and beat her up!"

Xiao Ran didn't expect Gu Feiyao to be so arrogant, and immediately stood behind Su Xiaoxiao.

"I wonder who dares to touch my wife!"

"Who the hell do you think you are? I'll beat you up too!"

Qiu Rui felt something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Fei Yao, the old lady is here, so don't get angry. Everything is up to the old lady!"

Gu Feiyao swung her arms and pouted angrily.

"Mother, don't stop me. I'm going to get my revenge today no matter what!"
