Spring Drunk Chang'an
Chapter 35 I think you are worried about something?
Xiao Chuo's voice was cold and clear, and it seemed to carry a hint of pity without being noticed.
Liu Changan lowered his eyes, "It's indeed her!"
Unexpected.
Liu Wenbai and Liu Wenrui are children of the noble family after all. If they want to kill her, they won't have to find some low-class hooligans. Liu Qingru can do such a thing, but she has no manpower. Because of her status, Aunt Lai can only make plans in the inner house and cannot reach outside.
Especially such a wild way.
Only those who have extensive connections and are born in low-income families can handle it.
"Where have you offended Liu Ye's people? I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Chuo frowned and her voice was slightly dark.
How could Miss Liu, a slave, be targeted by the entire Ningguo Mansion?
Liu Changan smiled bitterly, "My Lord, it's not that I offended them, but they came to cause trouble for me."
She didn't want to be trampled into the mud, so she stretched her neck and tried to struggle out of the quagmire.
She wanted to stand up and resist.
Those who were used to her kneeling and treated her like a pig or a dog to be slaughtered at will would naturally be angry and embarrassed.
"The prince and his family wanted to marry Liu Caodeng to my brother, but my family refused. I guess they must be angry."
"We're arresting you for this?" Xiao Chuo raised her eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.
If the marriage fails, the person will be captured and forced to be sold.
How can this make sense?
"Maybe there are other reasons, or maybe I was assigned by someone." Liu Chang'an bit his lip. Thinking of the danger that day, his heartbeat slightly accelerated and his face turned a little pale.
I was too excited at the time and didn't think much about it. Later, every time I woke up in the middle of the night, I would break out in a cold sweat.
If they had really caught me that day, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Perhaps, he would end up in a situation even worse than his previous life.
Xiao Chuo's expression was not good either. His smoky eyes shone with a colder light than usual. He said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. Capture Liu Caodeng and send him to the yamen. Give him fifty beatings with the killing board and he'll confess everything."
"Send it to the government office?" Liu Changan's almond-shaped eyes lit up.
Bringing her perpetrators to justice was something she had never experienced before, having been persecuted in her previous life. It was indeed very appealing to her, but...
After much deliberation, she gave up on this tempting idea and instead pleaded in a low voice, "Prince, I think... I can just send those four people to the government office and get their confessions. Is that okay?"
"You want to use Liu Caodeng?" Xiao Chuo understood immediately.
"Your Highness is wise. I can't hide anything I'm thinking from you!" Liu Chang'an smiled shyly.
The bright almond eyes are sparkling.
Both attentive and admiring.
"Liu Caodeng is a daughter of the Duke's family. Three or four generations of her family have lived in the mansion. She has a wide bloodline and deep roots~"
It is very convenient to use her to investigate things, whether it is Liu Wenbai, Liu Qingru or Aunt Lai.
"She's a good chess piece, but what do you have for her to do?"
Xiao Chuo's smoky eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
Liu Changan was just a little maid. Even though she was a little stubborn and had offended her masters, he had already agreed to protect her because of her loyalty.
She was also favored by Mrs. Lai and her aunt.
Enough to protect yourself.
Why would he bother to win over his men, who were the ones harming her?
"Are you worried about something?"
Xiao Chuo asked in a deep voice.
His handsome face was slightly gloomy, and a dark color like the abyss appeared between his brows.
Liu Changan's heart skipped a beat. Her pearly teeth bit her lips until they turned white. She twisted her hands and said hesitantly, "This..."
"This……"
Xiao Chuo said in a deep voice, "Hmm?"
Press your body slightly forward.
Liu Changan lowered his eyes, not daring to retreat. He only whispered, "Prince, I, I really have something to investigate. When I find out, I will definitely tell you first."
"Can you please stop asking now?"
Whether Liu Yu and Liu Wenbai were swapped was just speculation, and there was no evidence for her affair with Liu Qingru, so it was too hasty to say it out loud.
Liu Changan was afraid that the prince would not believe her and was afraid that he would think she was despicable and greedy for wealth.
She was just a maidservant, yet she was so greedy that she wanted to be a lady. She could turn a deaf ear to such comments when the Liu family scolded her, but what if the prince said the same thing to her?
Liu Changan felt suffocated when he thought of that scene.
In past lives and present lives, through two reincarnations, the prince is one of the people who treats her well simply without expecting anything in return.
This is the most precious kindness.
It was something she rarely got.
Whether he was teasing her intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Changan cherished her very much and would never be willing to lose her.
"Trust me, please." She held up her little hand.
Xiao Chuo looked at her silently for a moment, then nodded indifferently.
His attitude was cold and hard, but he agreed.
Xiao Chuo sent someone to obtain the confessions of the four men, and then sent them to jail. She also promised Liu Chang'an that she would keep them in jail and not exile them.
If you want them to sign or use them to threaten others, you can use them at any time.
Liu Changan was extremely grateful and expressed his gratitude thousands of times.
The prince's expression changed into something she couldn't understand.
Beneath the compassion, there is a hint of pride and joy.
After getting the confession, the prince waved her off.
Liu Changan didn't dare to disturb him and considerately closed the door and left.
-
In the garden of the Ningguo Mansion, Liu Chang'an put the confession in his chest, left Chunli Courtyard, and walked towards the main courtyard with a relaxed mood and a smile on his face.
She finally found a way.
I can get my identity back without having to be a disgusting young lady from a duke's mansion.
She wants to 'follow her mother and remarry'!
Liu Chang'an was in a very good mood. Like a little girl, she skipped along the flower path, thinking about how to threaten Liu Caodeng. Suddenly, someone blocked her way.
"Sister Chang'an, I heard something happened to your family when I came back. I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally I found you!"
The man who came was a man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a gray shorts, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and looked energetic and heroic.
"Hasn't the garden errand finished? Why don't you go back to the main courtyard? A girl like that is restless, running around everywhere. Do you know how worrying it makes people?"
"Where have you been?"
He asked bluntly and reached out to grab Liu Changan's arm.
Liu Changan recovered from her shock, frowned, and stepped aside. She said calmly, "Brother Xia Mu, long time no see. Are you questioning me?"
"Ah?" Xia Mu was stunned. Seeing Liu Chang'an's rare distant and cold expression, he shook his head blankly. "I, I didn't, Chang'an. I just care about you."
He explained, and then hurriedly said: "I came back from work the day before yesterday and heard that the rumor spread throughout the mansion that you had offended the eldest lady, the second young master, and even the prince couldn't stand you."
"What's going on? You're just a servant, why are you provoking your masters?"
Liu Changan looked at his anxious expression, his expression slightly changed, "I offended the eldest lady because she falsely accused me of being a thief and offended the second young master. It was he who set up the trap to kill Wang'er."
"I resisted them and saved my brother, so the prince also hates me."
"Brother Xia Mu, is this my fault?"
Xia Mu was stunned and said as a matter of course: "Changan, what are you talking about? Of course it's your fault."
"The young lady said you stole the hairpin, just admit it. Do you think your reputation is important to you? As for Wang'er, he's a grown man, so what if he gets beaten a few times? You little servant are so spoiled..."
