After hearing Shaoqing's explanation, Xia Tan'er's dark eyes widened.
There was a little regret in his eyes.
How could she forget!
Lu Yimo was also young.
This damn feudal etiquette, the husband is the wife, has not only oppressed all women from ancient times to the present, from top to bottom, from this generation to that modern day, but also covered up the brilliance that all women should have.
Even the eldest lady of aristocratic families is not immune.
Those women who are at a lower level and are oppressed live even more pitifully.
Also being a woman.
At this moment, Xia Tan'er felt a flash of sympathy in her heart.
But the next second, it was replaced by pride.
No matter what Lu Yimo's purpose was in getting close to her, feeling sorry for her, and caring about her.
but!
How much courage does it take for Lu Yimo to be able to tell the world to reconcile with Xia Zhao regardless of the eyes of the world, and to expose his scars directly for the world to see?
This is not just as simple as being brave, it is even more powerful. This is a pioneer of the times, a role model for women, and an example for everyone. It is the first of its kind!
Just let Lu Yimo do what she wants first.
Xia Tan'er is indeed proud to have such a mother.
Think about it.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
Xia Tan'er, who had been hugged by Lu Yimo just now and was still stiff and at a loss, now directly held Lu Yimo's arm, rubbing against Lu Yimo's shoulder as if coquettishly.
"Mom is the best to Tan'er."
"That's natural. You are my only daughter. If my mother doesn't love you, who will she love?"
"Well! Mom, come here, I'll help you walk, and let's go see who the bastard is."
Xia Tan'er's transformation was too fast.
Watching this scene, Feng Muchi and Lan Chengjin were stunned at the same time, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, women's hearts are like needles in the sea.
The two of them turned their heads in tacit agreement and looked at each other.
Just one glance,
The two of them quickly turned around, looking disgusted.
It can be seen that Xia Tan'er and the others have gone far.
The two men followed Xia Tan'er hurriedly, like two guards, following closely behind Xia Tan'er.
The group walked through the backyard and stopped in front of a room.
The man raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta."
This rhythm, which was like a code, made Xia Tan'er raise her eyebrows and suddenly had an idea in her mind.
If Morse code had been used in ancient times, it would have been a very good way of transmitting orders. In this Jiuzhou continent, besides her, there was no one else who could understand English and Arabic numerals.
Even if it is intercepted, outsiders cannot decipher it.
In the future, if there is a chance, she must let all the people in key positions in Fengying Tower learn from it.
The knocking on the door stopped.
The door opens.
The clerk looked behind him to ask for instructions.
Seeing Xia Tan'er and Feng Muchi behind her nodding at the same time, they led the group inside.
The room was simple, with just a bed, a table, a chair, and an oil lamp. The furnishings were very simple. There was no scene of dripping blood and torture as Xia Tan'er imagined.
There was just a man dressed in black, with his face covered and his eyes exposed, standing aside, holding a rope in his hand.
The other end of the rope.
A man wearing a green robe and a black cloth was tied up, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was sitting on a chair tremblingly.
Xia Tan'er poked her head and glanced at the man.
I always felt that the clothes he was wearing looked too familiar.
But I can't remember where I saw it.
"Tear off the black cloth."
"yes."
Hissed.
The black cloth is lifted.
A big round head was revealed, and the facial features were obscured because the mouth was blocked by a cloth.
The man in black pulled off the cloth.
The man was breathing heavily.
When he finally caught his breath and looked at a few people, he was extremely panicked.
"Heroes, don't kill me, don't kill me, I didn't do anything."
"Tan'er, do you know him?"
"do not know?"
Xia Tan'er shook her head and stepped forward.
"Why did you pay to kill me? What hatred do I have against you?"
Since it is something done by Fengying Tower.
That guy must have seen the appearance of the person who bought the murder, and he will definitely not make a mistake.
"I...I...I was walking on the street when I was out, and a man stopped me and said that if I helped him accomplish something, he would give me some money. I looked at how much silver there was in the purse. Very excited, I was obsessed with money, so I agreed."
"I, I really don't want to kill you."
Money obsessed?
Ah.
What is the difference between this and an accomplice?
A normal adult wouldn't understand what the word "kill" means!
In Xia Tan'er's view, such an explanation is really pale and feeble.
It was she who had the courage to fight back.
If it had been the original owner, or another woman, they would have died in the cave long ago, and there wouldn't even be anyone to collect the body.
"Princess, please spare my life, little one. I really didn't mean it."
"If you tell the truth, I can spare your life, but if I find out that you have deceived me in any way, I will make you miserable and make your life worse than death."
Such ruthlessness and viciousness.
Lan Chengjin, Feng Muchi, and even Shaoqing didn't notice the slightest problem.
But as Xia Tan'er's mother.
Lu Yimo felt something was wrong.
The Tan'er she knew.
Even though he has been wronged, he is still so gentle and kind. Sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants, cherishing moths and shining lamps.
There has never been such a fierce look in his eyes.
Is it the injustice she suffered in the prime minister's house over the years that forced her to be like this, or is it Xia Tan'er's bloodthirsty nature?
She was a little confused.
"I said, I said, whatever the princess wants to know, I will definitely tell her everything."
"Let me ask you, what does the person who instructs you look like?"
"The man's face is covered, so he can't tell his appearance. However, he is about seven feet tall and has a thin build. Judging from his voice, he should be a good-looking man."
"What other characteristics are there?"
"No...no, his whole body was wrapped tightly, even his hands were wrapped with cloth, not a trace was exposed."
"Where did you meet?"
"On the streets of Dongcheng, when I was passing by at the corner, I happened to bump into him, and he took me to the corner."
"Where do you live? What is your status?"
"I...I'm just a beggar..."
As he said this, the man lowered his head in shame and glanced at Xia Tan'er timidly, fearing that these people would look down on him.
He turned out to be a beggar, no wonder he agreed so readily.
It seemed that the man was really well prepared.
Even the marks on his body are hidden so carefully.
She had just arrived in Jiuzhou Continent not long ago, and had never made enemies with anyone except Wen Moqing.
If we really want to count, Mingchu should be counted as one.
After all, it was she who caused his wife to be separated.
But that was just what happened last night...
Xia Tan'er's eyes were determined.
He quickly asked.
"When did you two trade?"
"Last night...last night I was begging on the street, and when I turned around I met that man."
"A specific moment?"
