After Jin Yan reported the case, the government immediately sent someone to take the three Fangs for questioning.
Fang insisted that Mrs. Liu had slandered Xun Yu for murder.
Mrs. Liu had no choice but to reveal her eldest sister-in-law, who in turn revealed the mistress of the Zhou family in Lin'an.
Mrs. Zhou was born in a noble family and did not look down upon the magistrate. When the official sent word, she had him beaten out.
Later, when someone was sent to inquire about the whole incident, they found out that Jin Yan had escalated the whole incident to the level of being disrespectful to the emperor. They were instantly frightened and could not sit still.
Even if you give her ten courages, she won't dare to arrange for the emperor!
This matter must not be expanded, let alone spread to the capital, otherwise the emperor will give the Zhou family a "house raid gift package" tomorrow.
The price was too high and she couldn't bear it.
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou arrived, she immediately cooperated and identified several people, all of whom were famous local families in Lin'an.
Coincidentally, these families all have contacts with the British Prince's Palace.
The head lady of one of the families is also the distant cousin of the British Princess.
After finding out this, Zhifu He arrived at Xie's house overnight.
They did not avoid Jin Yan when they were talking about things. After speaking, Zhifu He praised Jin Yan, "It seems that someone is in a hurry. If it weren't for Jin Yan's hand, he wouldn't have been able to find out the kid behind it so quickly."
Xie Xi was naturally very proud.
His daughter is just smart and capable!
Not to mention Xun Yu.
Although he could have found out the truth if he came to investigate, Jin Yan's sudden move completely disrupted the arrangements of the person behind it.
The news has not yet spread to Lin'an, and the capital still knows nothing.
The time Jin Yan bought was enough for him to catch the opponent off guard.
Jin Yan: "..."
She swore that she didn't think that much, she just wanted to teach the people who bullied Xun Yu a lesson. Does anyone believe it?
Obviously not.
Magistrate He specially went to Xie's house to report the news, not only because of his friendship with Xie Xi, but also to express his feelings to the emperor through Xun Yu.
After that, Zhifu He left with Xun Yu.
Jin Yan didn't see Xun Yu for four or five days in a row. When Xun Yu came to Xie's house again, it was time for him to return to the capital to take up his post.
In a rare act of generosity, Xie Xi gave Jin Yan and Xun Yu enough time to say goodbye.
Xun Yu warned: "I left someone to protect you...don't refuse in a hurry. I know the Xie family has many experts, but I can feel more at ease if I keep them. Wait for me to gain a firm foothold in the court, and wait for you to grow up." When we are older, we will get married."
Jin Yan was a little sentimental at first, but when he heard the last part he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are thinking too beautifully. Don't think that your father will accept it if you have the imperial edict. You have to get through him first."
Xun Yu chuckled, "I know, I will work hard."
After saying that, seeing Jin Yan staring at him with sadness in his eyes, Xun Yuo began to feel pain in his heart.
He sighed softly, stroked Jin Yan's hair and said, "The emperor is kind, and he spends a lot of time off in a year. Sometimes he has to go out on business. I will come back to Lin'an to see you when I have time."
Jin Yan didn't say anything, but stood on tiptoes and hugged Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was startled, and before he could respond, another pain came from his shoulder.
His pupils suddenly dilated.
Jin Yan bit his shoulder?
Before his mind could turn around, his hands had already honestly held Jin Yan in his arms.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
Except for the time when Jin Yan fell asleep in the carriage and he carried her out of the carriage, this was the first time they were so close.
"Yan Yan, why did you..." bite me?
"Ambition and power are not as important as you. You have to take care of yourself."
"Um."
"Lin Ao doesn't deserve to be your love rival. If you can, just do it. Don't waste too much time on him."
"good."
Jin Yan raised his head slightly and met Xun Yu's gentle eyes.
Looking at her eyes, she pretended not to believe it, "Are you so obedient?"
"When did I not listen to you?" Xun Yu looked at her lovingly.
Jin Yan pursed his lips slightly with a hint of pride, "That's more or less. Don't take him seriously anyway, but the secrets in him are an opportunity for you and the emperor."
An opportunity to change history and leave a mark in history.
Xun Yu looked at Jin Yan meaningfully, "Huh? Secret?"
Jin Yan rolled his eyes immediately, "Don't tell me you didn't see it. If you are really that stupid, you won't be able to enter the Xie family."
Xun Yu: "..."
Well, I almost forgot that he was a wife.
He gently pinched Jin Yan's earlobe and promised in a low voice: "I understand, my eldest lady."
The two talked for a while, and then Jin Yan reminded Xun Yu, "That's all right. I'll give you some encouragement before I leave. If you wait too long, dad will kill someone with a knife."
Xun Yu held on without letting go and said, "Being beaten by my father-in-law is not necessarily a bad thing. Over the past year, I feel that my health has improved a lot."
"Is it possible that daddy's kick also made you spit out the poisonous blood remaining in your body, and you were a blessing in disguise?" Jin Yan asked in surprise.
Xun Yu was amused by her expression, "Maybe so."
Jin Yan was also happy for Xun Yu when he heard this.
Thinking of Xie Xi, she joked again, "You are a blessing in disguise, but daddy will definitely regret it if he finds out. If he doesn't like you and wants to beat you, he won't be able to do it!"
Just then, Xie Xi's voice came from behind: "Who said I can't do it?"
Xun Yu: "..."
Jin Yan: "..."
The two of them looked at Xie Xi who suddenly appeared.
"Dad, I've finished talking to Xun Yu. Please tell him some important matters in the court. I'm so sleepy that I'm going to bed."
After finishing speaking, Jin Yan glanced at Xun Yu with schadenfreude and quickly disappeared from sight.
Xun Yu stood there and gently touched the aching part of his left shoulder.
Little heartless.
Then he looked at Xie Xi calmly, "Father-in-law..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Xi's fist had already been waved over.
Xun Yu: "..."
Who said Xie Xi couldn't do it?
never mind.
If he's going to be beaten, he'll be beaten. He just needs to hide as much as possible to avoid getting hit in the face.
Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to see Jin Yan tomorrow.
The next day.
When Jin Yan got up early to see Xun Yu off, Xie Xi told him that Xun Yu had already set off overnight.
"Why? He agreed to leave today, why did he lie to me again!" Jin Yan was so angry that he stamped his feet and wished he could catch Xun Yu and give him a beating.
It seems that the punishment of kneeling last time was too light.
Xie Xi touched Jin Yan's hair lovingly and coaxed: "The emperor is in a hurry, and he can't resist the order, so please forgive him this time."
Jin Yan looked at Xie Xi suspiciously.
Something is wrong.
When did dad become so considerate and actually speak for Xun Yu?
At this time, a carriage was traveling slowly on the official road.
Qi Jiu drove the car and said behind him: "Master, the weather is nice. Come out and get some fresh air."
Xun Yu's feeble voice came from the carriage, "Is the sun big?"
Qi Jiu: "Big."
Xun Yu: "Keep on going."
His face has been injured by Xie Xi, but he can't tan any more, otherwise it won't look as good as before, and Yan Yan won't like it anymore, and he will have to go to court.
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
Good night
