Lu Jia didn’t want to implicate Yun Qianyu, and she didn’t want to give up on her revenge. She was determined to kill the people of the Chiang family to avenge her father and mother.

However, before Lu Jia finished speaking, Yun Qianyu had reached out to hold Lu Jia.

She knew that Lu Jia didn’t want to implicate her and she wanted revenge.

However, the Chiang family was no easy target. If Yun Qianyu allowed her cousin to continue on her own, she would definitely fall into the hands of the Chiang family sooner or later.

“Cousin, where can you go now? You’d better go back with me. I’d really like to know what has happened to your family and why you want to kill the Lord Protector.”

Lu Jia had a hesitant look and said, “Feather, I’m afraid I’ll get you in trouble.”

After all, Lu Jia was supposed to be a dead person. She had only survived because a servant girl had been mistaken for her and had been killed in her stead.

‘If people found out that Feather is harboring me, she would definitely get punished for it.’

Yun Qianyu was not afraid at all. Although she was still restricted by a certain someone, sooner or later, she would stand on top of the strong. At that time, no one would dare to bully her and her friends.

With that thought, Yun Qianyu shook her head and said, “It’s not at all troublesome.”

The reason why Yun Qianyu insisted on taking Lu Jia with her was that her cousin had treated her predecessor well. Protecting her now was the natural thing for her to do.

After Lu Jia got onto the carriage, Yun Qianyu ordered the coachmen to drive them back.

Inside the carriage, Yun Qianyu quickly took an elixir pill for internal injuries from the Phoenix Ring and immediately fed it to Hua Mei. After consuming the elixir pill, Hua Mei looked better even if she was still unconscious. Yun Qianyu checked her pulse and noted that she was better now.

After helping Hua Mei, Yun Qianyu finally had time to ask Lu Jia what happened to her family.

“Cousin, what happened then?”

Yun Qianyu deliberately lowered her voice in case the coachman outside heard her words.

Lu Jia naturally knew this, so she also lowered her voice and told Yun Qianyu what had happened back then.

“Back then, the Lord Protector wanted to influence my father into serving the crown prince. My father, however, wasn’t interested in politics and only wanted to focus on his job. Unfortunately, the Lord Protector was offended by his rejection. My father thought nothing was wrong and he didn’t know that the Lord Protector had developed a deep hatred for him. Moreover, the Lord Protector did not make any moves against my father at that time.

A while later, there was a flood in Tanzhou. My father was tasked with sending 50000 tons of grain and a large amount of money for disaster relief. Unfortunately, the food and money were stolen on their way. The Lord Protector reported my father to the Emperor and somehow he had evidence indicating that my father had taken the money.”historical

“The Emperor was so angry that he arrested my father and all the members of my family. Within three days, everyone in my family was questioned and executed. Fortunately, a close relative of ours spent a lot of money and brought her servant girl to see me. In the end the servant girl took my place and I was brought out.”

Lu Jia began to weep after saying all that.

In the carriage, Little Bell and Rainbow cried even more bitterly than Lu Jia. The two of them sobbed immensely which made Yun Qianyu and Lu Jia speechless.
