Wishful Things

"This is a matter of the Zhan clan. I'm afraid that an outsider should not interfere. If Miss Zhan encounters injustice, she should go to the government to uphold justice."

There was no trace of 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 they didn't know the authenticity of. Even if they went to the government, she might not win the lawsuit!

Besides, my elder brother threw himself into the river, and my father committed suicide in prison last night... Now there are only her and my mother in the family. Even if the house is saved by luck through the government, it will definitely offend the clansmen to death!

If such an enmity is formed, wouldn't it be easy for these clansmen to use means to make things difficult for their mother and daughter in the future?

So her weak mother just shed tears in the small Buddhist hall at this moment, advising her not to fight head-on with these clansmen again...!

After all, even if you go to the government, how can it be as useful as Xu Mingyi's words?

Not only can she and her mother be kept, but also these clansmen can feel fear and respect for them, and they will definitely not dare to blatantly target them in the future——

Thinking of this, Zhan Yunjiao patted the car window with her hand, and begged in a choked voice: "Sister Xu, for the sake of us growing up together, please just say a word and help me and my mother." ...If even Elder Sister Xu refuses to help us, then my mother and I will really be forced to death by these clansmen today..."

In the carriage, Xu Mingyi frowned.

She and Zhan Yunjiao haven't had any contact since they were young. If this can be called growing up together, then all the girls in the capital who are her age have grown up with her—she can take care of it ?

Besides, when it comes to forced death, it is far from enough.

It is impossible for these clansmen to be so stupid as to get the house and force people to death.

But if he insists on hitting the road of death, no one can stop him.

"Let's go."

Xu Mingyi didn't intend to listen to the other party's seemingly pitiful words, but every word was full of moral kidnapping.

Seeing the carriage ruthlessly driving away from her eyes, Zhan Yunjiao only had time to utter the word "Xu—" tremblingly, and swallowed the rest of the words.

Her face faded little by little.

What is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she is not afraid of the sky and the earth...

But he's just a snobbish snobbery!

The noisy quarrel was quickly left behind the carriage.

Xu Mingyi's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.

Regarding what happened to Zhan's mother and daughter, she was neither interested in reading jokes, nor did she have the slightest sympathy.

Perhaps Zhan Yunjiao didn't know that her father and brother had secretly stood on the opposite side of the Zhen Guo Mansion, trying every means to prepare for the future frame-up of the Zhen Guo Mansion.

That's why Zhan Yunjiao can 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 her.

It's never her turn to clean up the mess left by Zhan Yunzhu.

They have always treated people too kindly in the government of the town.

But some people are not worthy of this kindness.

The carriage drove steadily, and after two quarters of an hour, it stopped slowly outside the Princess's mansion.

As soon as Xu Mingyi got off the carriage, a maidservant in Tsing Yi who had been waiting outside the gate of the mansion came up to her.

"Miss Xu is counted, the princess has sent slaves to wait for Miss Xu early in the morning." The maid saluted with a smile.

Xu Mingyi recognized that this was the big maid next to his friend, who seemed to be Shi Shi.

"I encountered some things on the road, and I was delayed for a while."

Xu Mingyi walked in with the other party, while explaining casually.

Shi Shi nodded with a smile.

This is Miss Xu.

If someone else asked the princess to wait for such a long time, there would be no need to bother to invite him into the mansion. It would be the most amiable way to let people go back and forth from wherever they came from.

Ever since she was a child, only Miss Xu can call her Princess such a good temper.

——As the princess's most powerful maid, she naturally knew the secret of the princess's close friendship with Miss Xu.

"Do you want to pay your respects to His Highness Princess Tongchang first?" Xu Mingyi asked in accordance with the rules.

"The princess has confessed that there is no need to bother."

Xu Mingyi nodded without any surprise.

After all, according to what she knew, the eldest princess probably hadn't gotten up at this time.

Xu Mingyi looked around while walking.

It has been too long since she has been to the princess' mansion.

However, seeing these furnishings again at this time, those already blurred memories suddenly became clear again.

Shi Shi didn't know what she was thinking, seeing her looking around, he just thought she felt that the way was wrong, so he explained with a smile: "The princess is in the Siqing Garden at this time, and the maidservant directly took Miss Xu there."

Xu Mingyi didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Entering the garden, besides the tangy fragrance of flowers, there is also the melodious sound of music, and a group of beautiful teenagers in bright or elegant clothes.

"You are here, this wine has been changed several times!"

The girl seemed to be born with a voice that made people feel deserted, and there was a bit of resentment at this time.

Xu Mingyi walked into the pavilion with a smile.

The spacious octagonal pavilion is surrounded by light gauze as curtains. There is a low table about eight feet long in the pavilion, under the feet is a three-color thread blanket with excellent workmanship, and on the blanket are a few lake blue soft pillows embroidered with peony flowers. The girl with her phoenix eyes is lazily Lying there, he was propping his cheeks with his hands, looking at her with feigned displeasure.

Beside the girl, there were five or six cats of different appearance lying here and there scatteredly.

Xu Mingyi took off his embroidered shoes, walked past the cat owners who refused to move when they saw the guests, walked up 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 Is half a cup okay?"

"I see that you are obviously thirsty."

Princess Yufeng snatched the teacup from her hand and ordered the servant girl to pour the wine.

"I can't drink too much alcohol." Xu Mingyi said: "I have agreed with Mingshi in the evening, we will accompany him to Qingfenglou to eat dumplings."

If he was really drunk, the old mother's face would have to hang on his face all night tomorrow.

"It's not any strong wine, it's your favorite plum wine, but it's specially prepared for you."

Xu Mingyi let out a soft "Ah—" in surprise, and leaned on his friend's shoulder, his smiling eyes bent into a pair of crescent moons: "Jiaojiao is still the most considerate of me."

Not only the plum wine, but even the waiters around him were all replaced by maids, so there was no one in the capital.

Except for those playing the piano and playing the sheng outside the pavilion——

Princess Yufeng could not hold back a laugh.

The weather in early autumn was cool and pleasant, with the breeze blowing the gauze curtains. The two girls drank fruit wine and ate snacks, hugging a cat that was fluffier than a soft pillow, chatting and laughing comfortably.

From the most fashionable dresses and jewelry in Beijing at the moment, the two talked about the case that caused a sensation in the capital recently.
