"This lady originally knew how to speak." Wen Jiu curled his lips, and said to the young servant by the side: "Yulu, your monthly allowance is finally mine."

Yulu sobbed with a small face and muttered: "Young Madame .. I've never seen any master so concerned about the monthly payment from a maid. "

Wen Jiu raised his eyes, "Didn't you just see it now? If you admit your defeat, you are not allowed to go back on your word. "

Lady Lu, who was kneeling on the ground, could not speak and became even more anxious. She could not help but kowtow and say, "Please save me, Madam!"

Wen Jiu said indifferently, "You didn't say anything just now, and only came to beg now. Don't you think it's too late?"

This girl had reached the General's Mansion early on, yet she was actually able to keep silent in front of Xie Xuan.

The room was silent for a moment.

The green clothed lady knelt on the ground and raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I can't avenge my husband even if I die. I still need to be bullied by those beasts. I know that General Xie is a righteous and noble person, Madame will definitely .. "

"Cut the crap."

Wen Jiu put down her teacup, "You had long wanted to court death, but now you're even more afraid of being taken away by others.

Although the reputation of an aristocratic family like Zhou Minghao was extremely poor in Dijing, he was still liked by the ladies of the brothel. If he had taken a fancy to this lady, he probably wouldn't have forced himself into such a place to seek death.

Then... There must be something else.

But this girl was unwilling to say anything, and wanted to protect her with her General's Mansion.

The person kneeling on the ground wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wen Jiu was not a patient type of person, he turned to the maid by his side and said: "Go and tell the general, whether this lady stays or not, it will be up to her to decide."

"This servant will go now." Jin Er just replied.

"Hold on!" The girl panicked. She wanted to stand up but she fell to the ground, her beautiful eyes red, "I was originally the fiancee of the former top scorer Chen Yuanning, Jiang namesake Sijia. Many years ago, when he went to the Yun State to take up his post, he had sent a letter to my home, saying that he would take me there to finish the marriage. At home, my father and brother happily sent me to the Yun State. But halfway through my journey, I found out that he had been assassinated .. "

Wen Jiu gently caressed his hand under his sleeve, "The matters of the year are almost at the end of the year."

She had heard of the name Chen Yuanning before, and she knew that he was Wang Yichang's favorite disciple.

Afterwards, when the new monarch promoted his confidant, he was one of them.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have died so early.

"I wanted to go to the Yun State to investigate his death, but on the night that we entered the city, a group of black-clothed people barged into the inn we were staying at and killed all of my father and brother's followers .."

As he said till here, Jiang Wuxia's face was already full of tears.

As Wen Jiu listened, he suddenly felt a headache.

The sect leaders who had just gone to the Yun State had died a violent death. This journey was a thousand miles, and if something were to happen on the road, it would be unavoidable.

As expected, the Eldest Princess could not be offended. Just randomly saving a person was enough to bring such trouble to the General's Mansion.

However, Jiang Wuxia seemed to have opened up a conversation as he sobbed, "Father and Brother, you protected me with your life. On my way to the Dijing, I only sold myself to the Yongle Workshop after meeting a trafficker .. Although I am powerless to avenge my father, brother and husband, I cannot lose my innocence. "

Wen Jiu's face stiffened.

"Innocence" was beyond the heavens. Even when she tried her best to act as if it didn't hurt at all, she would still find it difficult to sleep and eat every time someone brought it up.

When she spoke again, her expression was more serious. "Send Miss Jiang back to her room for a rest. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Madam .." Jiang Wuxia's eyes were full of pleading.

"This is not something that can be solved with a single sentence or two."

Wen Jiu said: "Otherwise, why would no one ask about this until now?"

Jiang Wuxia cried, but she could not say anything, and kowtowed to Wen Jiu.

"Miss Jiang, please get up quickly." Xiang Man and Hongtang immediately supported her up and brought her back to her room.

The room immediately quieted down.

Wen Jiu thought about this matter. When something happened to the prideful disciple, and even his fiancee was injured, Wang Yichang, as his teacher, did not ask about it.

There must be a big story behind this.

Yulu was extremely worried, and said softly: "Young Madame, this matter is so troublesome... "Are you sure you want to care?"

"It's fine if you didn't hear it, but they're all in our residence now, can you still ignore them?"

Wen Jiu drank half a cup of tea and suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart.

Everyone in the Dijing City were key figures, once Zhao Fan took the Imperial Jade Seal and left the place, it would bring disaster upon the citizens of two cities in one night.

I wonder, what kind of trouble does this Chen Yuanning create?

In the current Great Yan Dynasty, Zhao Yi was very old and ill, and there were endless disasters in various places. The crown prince and the Prince Rui all had their own thoughts.

If Xie Heng did not rush out and kill everyone, even a Great Jin would be hard to deal with.

Seeing that, Jin Er leaned over and whispered into Wen Jiu's ear: Young Madame should tell General about this, we don't know anything about the top scorers' names, what if there are other officials behind, what should we do?

"Why didn't I realize you were so smart before!"

Wen Jiu raised his hand and pinched Jin Er's small face, he stood up and went to Xie Heng's courtyard.

The night was already very dark, and the snow quietly melted away. The faint moonlight spilled onto the eaves, mixing with the snow and making it shine a little.

Shiquan was busy, and upon seeing her, he immediately went forward to welcome her. "Good morning Young Madame, Noble Heir Zhou dragged the general to drink, I have not come back yet. What do you want? If it's not small, why don't you ask around? "

"No need to rush, I'll wait here for a while."

Wen Jiu walked into the courtyard. Two Plum Blossom Trees was the only ornament left on the ground.

In the snow, there was a tree that was completely red, just like the young man standing in the middle of a group of old officials.

It was filled with vigor and unparalleled pride.

After the tree was lowered, Wen Jiu sat down, "I will wait for him here, go and busy yourself."

Shiquan replied and left, leaving only Jin Er standing by her side.

After waiting for a long time, Xie Heng still did not return.

Jin Er dozed off, his head hitting the plum tree as he inhaled cold air in pain.

"Are you serious?"

Wen Jiu pulled the little maid over, and looked at her forehead, "If your skin is broken, then you should go back and rub some medicine on it first. If your face is broken, then it won't be good."

Jin Er rubbed his forehead, he then hesitated, "Then, this servant will go back first to take a look, if the general is still not back, Young Madame will not wait any longer."

Wen Jiu nodded and closed his eyes to rest.

Somehow.

Jiang Wuxia's' innocence 'always resounded in her ears.

Wen Jiu held tightly onto the furnace, but felt that his body was growing colder and colder.

She was half asleep and half asleep.

In the dream, it was pouring rain, and the windows were shaky.

The sudden intrusion of an unfamiliar man forced her into a corner. The rough breathing sounds and the creaking sounds of the wooden bed overlapped, making it impossible for her to push him away ..
