"This is a matter within the Zhan clan, and I, as an outsider, should not interfere. If Miss Zhan encounters injustice, she should seek justice from the government."
There was no emotion in the girl's tone, but it made Zhan Yunjiao feel cold all over.
Looking for the government?
These tribesmen were holding old IOUs that were unknown to be true or false, and even if they went to the government, she was afraid that she would not be able to win the lawsuit!
Moreover, her brother drowned herself in the river, and her father committed suicide in prison last night... She and her mother were the only two people in the family now. Even if they were lucky enough to save the house through the government, they would definitely offend the clan members to death!
If such a hatred is formed, wouldn't it be easy for these tribesmen to use means to make things difficult for their mother and daughter in the future?
So her weak mother could only shed tears in the small Buddhist hall and advised her not to have any more head-on confrontations with these tribesmen...!
After all, even if you go to the government, how can it be as useful as Xu Mingyi's words?
It can not only protect her and her mother, but also make these tribesmen fear and value them, and they will not dare to blatantly target them in the future——
Thinking of this, Zhan Yunjiao slapped the car window with her hand and begged in a low voice with a choked voice: "Sister Xu, for the sake of you and I growing up together, please just say a word and help me and my mother.
...If even Sister Xu refuses to help us, then my mother and I will really be forced to death by these tribesmen today..."
In the carriage, Xu Mingyi frowned upon hearing this.
She and Zhan Yunjiao have not had much contact since childhood. If they can be called growing up together, then all the girls in the capital who are similar to her have grown up with her - she can take care of it.
?
Besides, when it comes to being forced to death, that's far from the case.
There is no way these tribesmen would be so stupid as to get the house and force people to death.
But if you insist on hitting the road of death, no one can stop you.
"Let's go."
Xu Mingyi had no intention of listening to the other party's words, which seemed to be pretending to be pitiful, but in fact, every word contained moral kidnapping.
Seeing the carriage ruthlessly driving away from her eyes, Zhan Yunjiao only had time to tremble out the word "Xu——" in her mouth, and had to swallow the rest of her words.
The color drained from her face little by little.
The daughter-in-law of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is not afraid of anything.
But he’s just a snobbish person who is desperate to save himself!
The noisy quarrel was quickly left behind the carriage.
Xu Mingyi's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
She has no interest in laughing at what happened to the Zhan family and her daughter, and she has no sympathy at all.
Zhan Yunjiao may not have known that her father and brother had been secretly on the opposite side of the Zhenguo Government, and were trying every means to prepare for frame-up against the Zhenguo Government in the future.
That's why Zhan Yunjiao can still ask her for help so confidently.
But she knows.
Under such circumstances, even if she would not take the opportunity to embarrass the other party, she would never be so generous as to help him.
It was never her turn to clean up the mess left by Zhan Yunzhu.
They rule the government and have always been too kind to others.
However, some people are not worthy of this kindness.
The carriage drove smoothly and stopped slowly outside the eldest princess's mansion two quarters of an hour later.
As soon as Xu Mingyi got off the carriage, he was greeted by a maid in green who had been waiting outside the palace gate.
"Miss Xu, it's time to wait. The princess sent her maid to wait for Miss Xu early in the morning." The maid smiled and saluted.
Xu Mingyi recognized this as the maid next to her friend, who seemed to be named Shi Shi.
"Something happened on the way and I was delayed for a while."
Xu Mingyi explained casually as he followed the other party inside.
Shi Shi smiled and nodded.
This is Miss Xu.
If someone else had asked the princess to wait for such a long time, there would be no need to go to the trouble of inviting people into the house. It would be the most peaceful way to just let people go back and forth from where they are.
Ever since she was young, only Miss Xu could have such a good temper as her princess.
——As the most capable maid of the princess, she naturally knows the secret of the princess’ secret relationship with Miss Xu.
"Do I need to go to Princess Tong to pay my respects first?" Xu Mingyi asked in accordance with the rules.
"The princess has told me that there is no need to bother."
Xu Mingyi nodded without surprise.
After all, according to what she knew, the eldest princess probably hadn't gotten up yet at this time.
Xu Mingyi looked at the scenery around him as he walked.
It had been a long time since she had been to the eldest princess's mansion.
However, seeing these furnishings again, those memories that had been blurred suddenly became clear again.
Shi Shi didn't know what she was thinking. When he saw her looking around, he just thought she thought this road was wrong, so he explained with a smile: "The princess is in Siqing Garden at the moment. I will take Miss Xu there directly."
Xu Mingyi didn't say much, just nodded lightly.
When entering the garden, in addition to the fragrant fragrance of flowers, there is also the melodious sound of music that reaches the ears, as well as a group of beautiful young people wearing bright or elegant clothes.
"You're here, I've had to change the wine several times!"
The girl's voice, which seemed to be born to make people feel deserted, now contained a hint or two of anger.
Xu Mingyi walked into the pavilion with a smile.
The spacious octagonal pavilion is surrounded by light gauze curtains. Inside the pavilion is a low table about eight feet long. At the foot is a finely made three-color thread rug. On the rug are placed a few soft lake-blue flowers embroidered with peony flowers.
On the pillow, the girl with upturned phoenix eyes was lying there lazily. She was holding her cheek in her hand and looking at her pretending to be displeased.
Beside the girl, there were five or six cats of different appearance lying scattered here and there.
Xu Mingyi took off her embroidered shoes, passed over the cat owners who refused to move when they saw the guests, walked to the girl and sat down, picked up the tea cup on the low table and drank half of it, and said with a smile: "I punish myself.
Half a glass is enough, right?"
"I see you are obviously thirsty."
Princess Yufeng took the tea cup from her hand and ordered the maid to pour the wine.
"I can't drink too much." Xu Mingyi said, "I have agreed with Mingshi tonight that I will accompany him to Qingfeng Building to eat dumplings."
If I was really drunk, my old mother-like expression would be on my face all night.
"It's not a strong drink, it's your favorite plum wine, but it's specially prepared for you."
Xu Mingyi let out a soft "Ah——" in surprise, leaned on his friend's shoulder, and his smiling eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons: "Jiao Jiao is still the most considerate to me."
Not only the plum wine, but also the waiters around me were all replaced by girls of the same color, with no facial expressions at all.
Except for those playing the harp and the sheng outside the pavilion——
Princess Yufeng couldn't help but laugh.
The air was cool and pleasant in early autumn, and the breeze was blowing the gauze curtains. The two girls were drinking fruit wine, eating snacks, holding a cat that was fluffier and softer than a soft pillow, talking and laughing in a relaxed manner.
The two talked about the most fashionable clothes and jewelry in Beijing at the moment and the recent cases that caused a stir in the capital.
