Shen Yunxi turned around and looked at her eyes that were red from crying, walked over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Chen Caihe suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you two nobles for saving me."
Shen Yunxi hurriedly helped her up and said: "Don't be like this. If you really want to thank you, you should thank yourself. It was you who took us in so we could rescue you. This is called good intentions being rewarded."
Chen Caihe felt that she had met a noble person. If it hadn't been for them, she might not have been able to escape this disaster.
She wiped the tears on her face and said, "Actually, I should have thought that Brother Asheng has changed, and he is no longer the young man I knew back then.
I just can’t accept how he could be so cruel!”
She held her hands and looked sad.
Shen Yunxi said: "It's because he has evil intentions and is not worthy of you.
You are still young and have a bright future, and you will always meet someone who treats you sincerely, cherishes you and cares for you."
She held Chen Caihe's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will help you get revenge."
Chen Caihe had tears in her eyes. She reached out and hugged Shen Yunxi and said with a choked voice, "Thank you."
Shen Yunxi patted her shoulder, and after calming down Chen Caihe's emotions, they discussed countermeasures in the ruined temple.
Shen Yunxi said: "If we can't seek justice in Qingping County, we can file a complaint. If that doesn't work, we can go to the capital. I don't believe we can't punish them."
Chen Caihe said: "The people of Qingping County have been oppressed by Cao Lian for a long time, and some people reported the case to the prefect. However, the officials protected each other, and they could not get justice at all.
As for the capital city, we are all ordinary people, so even if we go to sue, there is no way, and why would those high officials care about our life and death?"
Shen Yunxi said angrily: "I really didn't expect that the officialdom in southern Xinjiang has become so corrupt."
She asked Wu Xuanye: "How about I write to the prince's brother and ask him to send a suitable person to solve it?"
Wu Xuanye looked at her and said, "I thought you would say, how about we go back to the capital."
Shen Yunxi said: "Why do you want to go back? We finally escaped. I said I would take you back to Beichen, so I decided. I will write a letter to the prince brother."
She stood up and looked around, only to find that there was nothing to write a letter to.
When Wu Xuanye saw this, he tore off his inner clothes and said to her, "There are ashes in the incense burner outside."
Shen Yunxi's eyes lit up: "You still have a way."
She took the strip of cloth that Wu Xuanye tore off and went out, using the incense ashes to write a letter.
Chen Caihe was sitting in the hall, listening to their conversation with a confused look on her face. She asked curiously: "I just heard Miss Shen say that the prince's brother is my brother? Could it be that I heard it wrong?"
Wu Xuanye said: "You heard it right, her prince brother is Xiao Chengyi, the prince of Beichen, and she is the eldest lady of General Beichen's mansion."
Chen Caihe looked shocked: "No wonder, I always feel that Miss Shen is different from ordinary women, and so does the young master."
She said: "Listen to what Miss Shen just said, you seem to be on the run. If you help me, will it get you into trouble?"
"Won't."
Wu Xuanye said: "Since this happened to us, we will not sit idly by and ignore it. Just rest assured, we will definitely give you justice."
Chen Caihe was so moved that she held back the tears in her eyes and thanked her.
In the yard, Shen Yunxi finished writing the letter and blew the bone whistle.
Not long after, a goshawk flew over and landed on her shoulder.
Shen Yunxi tied the letter to the goshawk's leg, then touched its head and said, "Chi Feng, go find Brother Prince."
The goshawk roared, spread its wings and flew away.
