Beloved Concubine

Chapter 168 Crisis of Trust

"I swear to God, you are the only one I have..."

Before Fang Yu finished speaking, Chen Xiao slapped away his fingers that swore to the sky.

"Don't swear indiscriminately, be careful of being struck by lightning." Chen Xiao is not worried that he will be struck by lightning, but does not believe his so-called swearing.

"What I'm saying is true!"

"Have you heard the story of 'The wolf is coming'?" Chen Xiao said with a disdainful expression: "There was a sheepherder who went to the mountains to herd sheep every day. One day, he felt very bored, so he came up with an idea to tease everyone for fun..."

The story of "The Wolf is Coming" comes from "Aesop's Fables". Chen Xiao knew that he must have never heard of it, so he told the story again.

After finishing speaking: "This story tells us that we must be honest and not lie. If you tell a lie once or twice, people will believe it, but if you tell it too much, you will not believe it."

"But this matter, what I said is true!" Fang Yu looked anxious to defend himself.

"I have a crisis of trust in you."

The two were talking when someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Open the door, it is Luo Qing.

He said to Fang Yu with a gossipy look on his face: "Did you know? Lieutenant Feng killed someone and then ran away!"

Fang Yu had long known that County Captain Feng had "killed someone", so he said sternly, "That's what you're talking about?"

Fang Yu told Luo Qing last night that he was going to kill those two people. Just now Luo Qing heard the news that those two people were indeed dead, but he never expected that it was County Captain Feng who killed them!
This news came from Su Xiaowan.When she was serving her grandson's meal, she mentioned in a small chat that for some unknown reason last night, county captain Feng visited the courtyard in private and killed the two people who reported to the officials yesterday. They were discovered by neighbors and kidnapped to the yamen, and they reported to the officials. The neighbors were surprised to find that this person is actually the county captain!
Su Xiancheng, who received the report, felt that there might be some misunderstanding. In order to explain to the people, he symbolically put Feng Xianwei into prison.As a result, it was discovered this morning that not only County Captain Feng had escaped, but Cailian, Qing Suo and others who were in prison had also escaped.

Cailian and Qingsuo are the ones who went to the post house and wanted to rescue the princess.

When Su Xiancheng learned about this, he became very angry and immediately sent someone to look for him.The imperial envoy was going to Nanzhong County soon, but these people ran away, and those who didn't know thought it was Su Xiancheng who let him go.

Su Xiaowan told Taisun about this because she wanted to defend her father in advance.Regarding the issue of Su Xiancheng, it is the imperial envoys who take care of it, and the grandson doesn't care.But it is necessary to justify in front of the grandson first.

"Has anyone been found?" Fang Yu asked.

"I didn't find it, I'm looking for it."

Fang Yu didn't care much about this matter, and he had to go to great lengths to find Chen Xiao this morning.But he recalled by the way, when he was looking for Chen Xiao this morning, did he see Lieutenant Feng on the road?It seems not.

Luo Qing's gossip was over, but he stood at the door with no intention of leaving.

"What else do you want to say?" Fang Yu said in a dismissive tone.

Luo Qing looked into the room and asked, "Is Mrs. Chen better?"

"She's fine." Fang Yu sighed with remorse in his heart, and Chen Xiao's soul went out of his body once, and his old background was wiped out.

"Chen Shifu's fate is great! Ordinary people will be burned even if they don't die after being struck by lightning, but I don't think Chen was burned. Did she leave any scars on her body?" arrived.

Fang Yu glanced at him: "Are you concerned about whether she has scars on her body?"

"When I go back in the future, the palace will definitely check. The prince should know what kind of woman cannot be a princess."

Although Luo Qing knew that the prince was determined to like Chen Xiao, but if Chen Xiao wanted to become an official concubine, she had to be spotless.Not to mention her family background, as far as she is concerned, such as not having diseases, not having scars on her body, etc., these are the most basic requirements for the royal concubine to be selected.

"You don't need to worry about these." Fang Yu felt that he was too strict and a little impatient.

Luo Qing saw the son's impatience, and said: "The grandson has paid me out again. Oh, forget it, I'll go to Yang Yan." He had nowhere to go, so he came to chat with Fang Yu.

At this time, Chen Xiao walked to the door and said to Luo Qing: "If you are fine, please accompany me for a walk."

Fang Yu reacted to stress and immediately turned to stare at Chen Xiao: What does she mean?Want to use Luo Qing to leave?

Luo Qing was also a little surprised: Why would Mrs. Chen let him accompany her when going shopping?

Chen Xiaodao: "I want to buy a horse, you help me choose and choose."

"What do you want to buy a horse for?" Fang Yu asked warily.

"I want to go back to An County." Chen Xiao didn't hide anything, she didn't want to stay here anymore, horses were the means of transportation.

"You can be patient for a few more days," Fang Yu said, "the grandson will be able to travel in a car soon." Now what they are waiting for is that the grandson will recover better.

"I can't bear it anymore, I have to go."

Seeing her firm tone, Fang Yu knew he couldn't force her to persuade her, so he said, "There's no need to buy horses. Yang Yan still owes us a horse."

Chen Xiao thought about it, she didn't have much money in her pocket now, if she really bought a horse, she would have almost no money on her, and said, "Then let him return us a horse."

"Let's talk to him." Fang Yu took the initiative.

Yang Yan himself does not have a horse, he came with Princess De.His elder brother Yang Zhao had a horse, but how many horses they rode was reasonable, not to mention that it was a horse from a flying cavalry guard, so it would not be used as a substitute for Chen Xiaofangyu.

After some conversation, sure enough.Yang Yan was very sorry for leaving their horse in De Wangfu, but he was willing to pay 200 taels of silver as compensation.But he has no money on him now, and he said that he will give it when he returns to the capital.

At first, Fang Yu was worried that Yang Zhao had money, so he gave it for his younger brother, but Yang Zhao didn't have any extra money.

Seeing no results, Chen Xiao still decided to buy a horse by himself, and Fang Yu offered to accompany her to choose.The two were about to go out, when suddenly a yamen servant came to report: Su Xiancheng had drowned.

The yamen servant mainly reported to Miss Su. Su Xiaowan almost fainted when she heard the news.

"How could it happen? Where did my father drown?" Su Xiaowan never thought that her father would drown?

"In the small river outside the city."

"Where is my father? Take me there!" Su Xiaowan burst into tears, wanting to see is believing, she couldn't believe that her father was gone like this.

"My lord's body has been carried back to the Yamen. The villain came here to ask Miss, can I let you do the inspection?"

The yamen servant went to Su's house. Mrs. Su fainted after hearing the news. She finally woke up and asked if she could be examined. Mrs. Su knew that her daughter was in front of her grandson, so she asked the yamen servant to ask her daughter and let her make the decision.In fact, she wanted her grandson to know about this in disguise, take pity on her daughter, and make decisions for the Su family.It has to be said that like mother, like daughter, Su Xiaowan’s mind was taught by her mother.

"Are you doing the test?" Although Su Xiaowan was sad, her mind was still clear.

She broke down in tears and said to the grandson: "Your Highness, my father is gone, he will not drown if he is good, someone must have harmed my father, please Your Highness be the master of our Su family!"

Seeing her crying like that, Taisun felt sorry for her, and ordered Yang Zhao and Doctor Du to go to the yamen to check and find out what was going on.

Yang Zhao and Du Yuyi followed Su Xiaowan away, while Chen Xiao and Fang Yu stood in the yard watching the excitement.

The grandson saw Chen Xiao standing upright, as if he hadn't been struck by lightning last night, and said to her: "Chen Xiaoxiao, are you willing to worship me as a righteous brother?"

Chen Xiao was taken aback, the topic changed too quickly.
