Xie Xunwei said with a sullen face: "Who told you!"
Wen Yating said harshly: "If you don't want others to know about it, don't do it unless you do it yourself!"
"So?" Chen Anning said disapprovingly, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? How dare you ask me what I want!" Wen Yating rushed over, picked up the water on the coffee table and poured it on her. After being blocked by Xie Xun's internal force, she threw the tea cup at her face angrily, "You poisoned me and caused my grandfather to be demoted. What do you think I want! I order you to tell me right away. Your Majesty, you were the one who demoted my grandfather’s official status. It was you who poisoned me and framed my grandfather! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"
The tea cup was also blocked by Xie Xun.
Chen Anning glanced at the broken tea cup, then looked at her: "Why should I poison you?"
"I don't care how you poisoned me!" Wen Yating wanted to throw the teapot at her, but Xie Xun said coldly, "That teacup costs one hundred taels of silver, and this teapot costs three thousand taels of silver. Just throw it away, throw it away Just compensate according to the full price.”
"One hundred taels? Three thousand taels? Why don't you go and grab it!" Wen Yating said this, but withdrew his hand.
Xie Xun snorted: "How can you come faster if you go to rob?"
"You!" Wen Yating glared at him hatefully, then quickly glanced at Chen Anning, rolled his eyes, and thought, "You are the Minister of Dali Temple, I want to report the case!"
Pointing at Chen Anning, she said: "She poisoned me and framed my grandfather! Put her in jail quickly and interrogate her severely!"
"Sorry," Xie Xun leaned back lazily in his chair, "I won't take your case."
"Why!" Wen Yating was angry.
Xie Xun sneered: "You don't have a brain."
"You!" Although Wen Yating was fearless most of the time, she felt inexplicably afraid when facing Xie Xun, whom she had bullied countless times when she was a child. She glared at him hatefully and couldn't help but say harshly, "If you don't take the case, someone will take it! Just wait and see!"
After saying that, she turned around and left angrily.
Watching her retreating back, Chen Anning raised an eyebrow and then forgot about her.
Xie Xun's eyes grew colder, "Just rest, I'll go for a walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for her reply.
Chen Anning guessed that he was going to find Hua Jin and Hua Rong, but she didn't guess that he would send Hua Jin and Hua Rong away from the capital.
She only found out when Miss Fang San told her the next day when she arrived at Dali Temple.
"What did they do?" Miss Fang San came with General Fang. General Fang was indeed taciturn, and nodded to Chen Anning expressionlessly as a greeting. After that, without saying a word, he followed Xie Xun to the prison. Wen Qinsang also followed. Miss Fang San originally wanted to stop him, but he didn't give her a chance. After shaking her fist at his back, Miss Fang San turned to ask Chen Anning, "Isn't it because Miss Hua admires Mr. Xie that you kicked him away? Are you so narrow-minded?"
Chen Anning said: "You only know now?"
"It doesn't look like it?" Miss Fang San walked around her twice, stood in front of her, tilted her head and looked her up and down twice, and urged, "Tell me quickly, why are you doing this? Drive them away?"
"I don't like them." Chen Anning said calmly.
Miss Fang San looked at her, "Is that why?"
Chen Anning looked at her with a smile, "What else?"
"If you don't like it, just drive them away," Miss Fang San said thoughtfully, "So Mr. Xie likes this style?"
Chen Anning was amused by her words, "What, you want to poach someone?"
Miss Fang San sat down next to her, "What if I say yes? What, you want to kick me out of the capital too?"
Chen Anning approached her and said seriously: "Do you know what happened to the last person who spoke to me like this?"
Miss Fang San was not afraid, "What will happen?"
Chen Anning raised her lips and said, "Miss Wen."
Miss Fang San quickly sat up and said, "Miss Wen's nasty disease, is it really you who poisoned her?"
"Yes." Chen Anning said bluntly, "Don't you want to know why I drove away Miss Hua and Miss Hua? The reason is very simple. When I told Prince Guangling and Princess Guangling about this matter yesterday, they listened. Arrived. Then, they told Miss Wen the news."
Miss Fang San didn’t understand, “Why did they tell Miss Wen about this?”
Chen Anning looked at her, "What do you think?"
Miss Fang San still doesn’t understand.
In her opinion, even if Hua Jin wanted to get rid of Chen Anning and marry Xie Xun, she should compete with Chen Anning openly instead of using such unflattering means.
after all.
Prince Guangling and Princess Guangling were none other than her aunt and uncle.
"I didn't expect their sisters to be so ignorant." I really couldn't figure it out and could only blame them for being stupid. Miss Fang San added, "You poisoned Miss Wen and drove away their sisters. King Guangling and Princess Guangling both Didn't you say anything?"
Chen Anning asked: "What are they going to say?"
Miss Fang San hummed softly: "I don't see that you are quite capable. Not only can the emperor grant you a marriage, but you can also get King Guangling and Princess Guangling to protect you."
"You gave up so quickly?" Chen Anning half-smiled.
"I admit, I used to have a good impression of Mr. Xie." Miss Fang San said frankly, "But that's because he is very good at investigating and solving cases, and I admire him a little. After the emperor granted you and him a marriage, , I gave up. Now I..."
He hooked his fingers at her, and after she came closer, Miss Fang San said with bright eyes, "I am more interested in Mr. Wen now."
Chen Anning looked her up and down.
"Why, you won't eat what's in the bowl, but you want to grab what's in the pot, right?" Miss Fang San was wary.
Chen Anning shook her head, "I'm just curious about what he did to make you suddenly interested in him."
Miss Fang San thought for a moment, "I didn't do anything, it's just that he's a little weak."
Chen Anning chuckled, "Then come on."
Miss Fang San said: "Thank you."
Although General Fang tried his best to cooperate, no more clues were found. Just when Xie Xun was planning to call all the generals from Nan Ya and Bei Ya to cooperate with the investigation one by one, Xu Zan's letter came again.
Three more ship robberies occurred on the canal.
It was still a small merchant ship that was robbed.
Because the government has been unable to catch the robbers, small grain merchants have suspended shipments. After many medium and large grain merchants became afraid that there would be no small merchant ships, the robbers turned their targets and slowly stopped shipping goods.
You know, the people in the capital are living on the food from the south of the Yangtze River.
If the robbers are not caught or if the robbers really turn their targets to medium and large grain merchants, it will inevitably cause many counties in the capital to have no grain to buy.
Xu Zan and Wen Baolin investigated secretly, but the robbers were elusive and no one knew when or where they would strike. The two of them were running around, they were very tired, and they were just the shadow of the robbers. Couldn't catch one either.
"Pack up and set off immediately in an hour!" As soon as Xie Xun finished speaking, Princess Guangling stopped her and said, "No, tomorrow is the day of the betrothal gift. In any case, it won't be too late for you to leave after tomorrow!"
Xie Xun glanced at Chen Anning and said without comment: "If you delay for one more day, those robbers may cause chaos for one more day. Then the merchant ships will not be able to get through, causing panic among the people..."
"Go." King Guangling said, "I'll wait until you come back to pay the betrothal gift!"
After Princess Guangling sighed, she looked at Chen Anning and said, "I have to work hard for you again."
Chen Anning shook his head and asked Xie Xun, "Has everything been arranged at Dali Temple?"
Xie Xun said: "Just ask father to send someone to inform Wen Qinsang."
"Be careful on the road." Xie Chen said. He returned to Beijing this time just to attend their betrothal gift, but he failed to attend.
"If anything happens, remember to write and let me know." Xie Qian also said.
"I know." After Xie Xun said this, he looked at Chen Anning.
Chen Anning said: "Let's go."
Traveling day and night, the two quietly arrived at Guangling County on the night of the fifth day.
