Not a few days passed.
Xu Jingxi's hands were almost healed, so she took advantage of the time when she was not in class to take on some jobs within her ability to supplement the family income.
In fact, after he demolished the wooden beams of the red-tiled mansion last time, the carpenter shopkeeper gave him three hundred taels.
He used it all to renovate the house and give Grandpa Xu a better place to live.
Otherwise, winter is coming, and if it snows again, his house will collapse.
Xu Jingxi refused to accept Shen Ningning's help and lived by herself.
He had just written a few letters for a family, and when he came out of the yard, he heard a familiar voice.
"Old lady, does your family live here?"
Xu Jingxi looked over with dark eyes and saw Liang Yici carrying an old man on his back and about to walk into a private home.
"Yes, yes, it's right here." The old man on her back smiled.
He kept praising Liang Yici: "Little girl, you are so kind-hearted. I have been lying there for a long time. As long as you are willing to help me, you will definitely be rewarded."
Hearing this, Liang Yici couldn't help but smile: "Help others. You should be happy, why are the people in the capital so indifferent and don't care about you?"
Seeing her carrying the old woman into the courtyard, Xu Jingxi thought about her attitude towards Shen Ningning, then turned around and left without saying a word. Mind your own business.
evening.
When Second Master Xie returned home, he heard Butler Pang say: "Second Master, I asked you to eat first. He has some urgent matters in the palace and can't come back to his house."
Second Master Xie nodded, as did his eldest brother Xie Suzhi in the past. I'm often too busy to come back.
He took off his robe: "Where is Ning Ning? She should come back for dinner tonight. If she is here, please send a message to the kitchen to serve food."
Butler Pang was a little embarrassed: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is not at the house either. She followed the master into the palace. "Yes."
Mr. Xie was a little surprised, and then he came back to his senses: "What about Mingxu and Ming'an?"
"Both young masters are not here, and they are also in the palace..." Butler Pang was sweating.
When Second Master Xie saw that he looked wrong, he looked coldly: "Did something happen in the palace? Brother and the others are in trouble?"
Butler Pang broke out in a cold sweat: "Second Master, don't worry, they are not from our house. "
Then why are the four of you in the palace?" Mr. Xie said in a low voice.
Butler Pang had no choice but to say it.
"Actually, it was General Fang who annoyed the Emperor in court today..."
Fang Qingdai continuously sent secret messages to the Emperor, hoping that the Emperor would arrange for someone to conduct a thorough investigation of the Huo family, but the Emperor pushed back.
So, this morning in court, she simply announced it directly in court, and the emperor's face was ashen.
It is said that the commotion was so unpleasant that the emperor wanted to punish him and all the officials tried to dissuade him.
After all, General Liang had just died in the battle, and General Fang had made outstanding military achievements. If the emperor punished her at this time, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people?
As the general leading the troops, Xie Mingxu had to intercede for Fang Qingdai.
Shen Ningning happened to go into the palace to play with Mo Lingwei. After hearing the news, she also pulled Mo Lingwei there.
Xie Mingan entered the palace for his sister, while Xie Suzhi, as prime minister, stayed to persuade the emperor to calm down.
So none of the family of four came back.
When Mr. Xie heard about this, Hei Rui's eyes were startled.
He subconsciously turned around and was about to go out.
Butler Pang hurriedly held up his thin cloak and followed him: "Second Master! Second Master, don't worry, I've already brought the message back. It's nothing serious."
"It's already dark, you'd better not go out!"
Mr. Xie walked to the bottom of the steps . Suddenly paused.
His thin eyes were deep and filled with complicated emotions.
Uncle Pang spoke tactfully, but actually, what does it have to do with the darkness of the night?
He has inconvenience in his legs and feet, and since he fell ill, he has not held any official position in the court. He relies entirely on the merits he has accumulated in the past.
Even if he wants to enter the palace, he still wants to contribute to Fang Qingdai, but why should he?
What is his identity?
That's all...
Mr. Xie turned around silently, leaving behind a lonely word.
"You can notify me when eldest brother returns home."
At this moment, someone riding a fast horse stopped at the door of Xie's mansion.
Second Master Xie looked back and saw it was Lu Shaoyuan. Lu Shaoyuan turned over and dismounted, his handsome face was quite high-spirited.
However, when he saw Mr. Xie, he was stunned and quickly bowed his hands.
"Junior has met the second master of the Xie family. Is Shen Ningning here?"
"Ningning went to the palace to accompany the prince, but she hasn't come back yet. What do you want to do with her?"
Lu Shaoyuan hesitated.
What an unlucky thing, I happened to run into Mr. Xie.
In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "Actually, nothing happened. I just heard that Princess Rong Shu was captured by the officials. The officials notified General Fang, but there was no one in the Fang Mansion."
"I thought that Shen Ningning said she wanted to take care of... ...Uh..." Originally he wanted to remind Shen Ningning about this, but who told the little guy that her second uncle cared about General Italy?
Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan came and met the real owner!
Second Master Xie was already astonished: "The princess has been arrested? Uncle Pang, hurry up, prepare the carriage."
Uncle Pang couldn't dissuade him, so he could only do as he was told.
Not a moment.
Lu Shaoyuan took Mr. Xie to the government office.
In the yamen, Liang Yici stood up straight and said angrily: "I'll say it again, it was not me who caused her fall! It was obviously her who fell on the roadside, and I kindly sent her home, that's all!"
Lying on the ground beside him The old man covered his heart and cried out in pain.
Her daughter-in-law held her up with a snarky look on her face.
"What happened after you entered the yard? You kicked each of us, and now my husband is still lying in the hospital after you kicked him!"
"Who told me that as soon as I entered the yard, you surrounded me and said that I hurt the old man? "It's really unreasonable to ask me to pay you money." Liang Yici was furious.
The old woman who had been helped by her was crying and shouting: "Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for us!"
"She, if she didn't feel guilty, how could she carry me? Originally, she just sent her to my house, but I asked her to After paying for the trouble, she continues to hurt people, there is no justice and no law!"
Liang Yici was anxious and felt that she couldn't argue.
"You!" She stepped forward and wanted to grab the old woman's collar and talk.
Unexpectedly, the old woman fell to the ground, pretending to be frightened and fainted, and her daughter-in-law lay on top of her, crying and screaming.
The officials responsible for reviewing the case are also the first and the second.
This old woman is well-known in the capital as a hustler.
Because of her age, she always throws herself down on the roadside, waiting for kind-hearted people to help her, and then trick them again.
People who know her have already taken a detour.
However, Princess Rongshu had just returned to Beijing. She was unfamiliar with the place and didn't understand anything.
I sent someone home with good intentions, but ended up doing the wrong thing.
Originally, the case was very simple, but this old woman was also a liar, and she was a frequent visitor to the government.
Unexpectedly, Rongshu County took the initiative this time and really injured them.
This is difficult to do.
According to the law, the emperor and the common people are equally guilty, and the princess who injures the common people without any reason will also have to go to jail for three days!
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"How much do you want me to compensate her?"
Liang Yici was stunned and looked back.
I saw Mr. Xie walking in with a majestic look.
She had seen Mr. Xie's portrait among the old things her mother had collected.
He has a handsome eyebrow and sharp black eyes. He is tall but not rugged. He has the aura of a famous killing general that is hard to ignore.
Her father once praised Mr. Xie.
It is said that he is the god of war who can kill all the invincible enemies on the battlefield.
It's a pity...
Liang Yici looked down at his legs.
No matter how legendary he was back then, he was now just a useless person lying at home. He had broken her mother's heart and done such dirty things!
Liang Yici withdrew her gaze and spoke in a cold and decisive tone: "I don't need you to help me compensate! What's black is black. She deceived people, lied and set up a trap for me. I hit people just for defense. What's wrong with that?"
