It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 655 Everyone is thinking about it
Naturally, everyone was busy trying to control Li's mother, Li Xiuying and her sisters. In fact, if Li's mother had not made such a fuss, she and her other two daughters might have had a chance to survive. But now, Li's mother had been beaten to death on the spot, and nothing they said would be of any use.

Liu Yao didn't want Yang Xianrong to stay here any longer, and almost used his whole body to protect her, wanting to leave the inn. But Yang Xianrong whispered, "I'm fine, go pick up the old woman on the ground, be careful, pull her hair, it's probably a man."

Liu Yao responded, but refused to go himself. He called Guo Jin to go forward, and Yuan Jianshuo followed.

The mother-in-law had already sat up. When she saw Guo Jin and Yuan Jianshuo coming over, she understood their intentions. She took the initiative to pull her hair and took off a wig. She then wiped off her makeup and revealed her true appearance.

"Mao Hongmao." Yuan Jianshuo naturally recognized this man's appearance and was very surprised. "Why do you look like this? Where have you been in the past few years?"

"It's a long story. Pull me up first." Mao Hongmao was not young anymore, and it was very difficult for him to rush out and knock over Li's mother.

Because they were acquaintances, Yuan Jianshuo stepped forward and pulled him up. Guo Jin didn't know Mao Hongmao, but seeing Yuan Jianshuo like this, he also stepped forward to help.

By the time the three of them arrived in front of Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong, Yang Xianrong had already seen Mao Hongmao, but he said in a low voice with a stern face: "Kneel down!"

This time, Mao Hongmao was very obedient. He quickly knelt on the ground again and said, "Girl, I am healthy."

"Do you still know that you are from the Yang family?" Yang Xianrong's voice was not pleasant to the ear, and it also revealed a hint of anger. This person was the head of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty, so Liu Yao could not say anything and could only stand beside Yang Xianrong.

"I know." Mao Hongmao immediately lowered his head.

"You secretly brought the white jade earrings to me. Are you trying to test me? You..." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, because Yang Xianrong knew very well that this man was loyal to Sima Zhong. Since she had married Liu Yao, he must have some grudges. Before, Yang Xianrong had considered sending the former imperial guards and maids of the Jin Dynasty, and even Zhang Du and others, to Tai'an County or the Sun Mausoleum. Later, they were willing to follow her and didn't mind the messy political situation, so she didn't care.

Mao Hongbin and the two brothers of the Yang family all came to attend her wedding with Liu Yao. She was naturally very happy. After all, these people did not treat her differently because of their changed identities. Especially when Zhang Du said that he would follow her no matter life or death, she was extremely moved.

But there was only one person who never showed up.

His name is Mao Hongmao.

At the beginning, the last gold, silver and jewelry of the Great Jin Dynasty were sent to the Sun Mausoleum, and Mao Hongmao personally supervised and led the completion. Later, he and Yuan Jianshuo and others left after living in the Sun Mausoleum for a while. He did not tell the reason, and Yuan Jianshuo and others did not dare to ask more because of his secret identity.

Therefore, there has been no news in the past two years.

Before, Yang Xianrong had asked Mao Hongbin about his brother. But Mao Hongbin didn't know anything about it, and he didn't even know that he was the head of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy. "He looks very respectful and polite, but he actually has evil intentions. Although he and I are from the same mother, we were separated when we were very young. I really don't know what he is doing. However, I can guarantee with my life that he is definitely not a bad person and will not harm you."

"Girl, don't be angry, the child is important." Mao Hongmao lowered his head, but his voice was full of laughter. At the same time, he took out another white jade earring from his arms and held it in his hand. "This white jade earring is so beautiful, the girl should keep it with you. There is no need to talk about the past. I hope that the future will be more perfect."

Liu Yao glanced at Yang Xianrong and took the white jade earrings, whispering: "Third sister, these earrings look great on you. I like them too." "But this matter..." Yang Xianrong still hesitated. After all, this was related to Sima Zhong. Liu Yao was her man now. Could it be that he had no thoughts in his mind?

"Why not? As long as they look good on you and are convenient to use, why bother about so many things?" Liu Yao laughed. "There's no need to talk about the past. I hope the future will be more perfect. Come, I'll help you put on these earrings. From now on, they will be considered as something I give you."

Hearing him say that, Mao Hongmao was stunned for a moment and looked at the two of them intently.

Liu Yao was very careful and wiped the earrings carefully before putting them on Yang Xianrong. His movements were gentle, for fear of hurting her.

This pair of white jade earrings is indeed beautiful, especially against Yang Xianrong's fair skin, they actually have a glowing feeling, making this inn look much more shabby.

"Brother Liu." Yang Xianrong blushed a little and looked up at Liu Yao, "Thank you."

"You and I are husband and wife, why should I thank you?" Liu Yao's eyes revealed infinite doting and tenderness, "As long as you are by my side, that's enough."

"Okay." Yang Xianrong nodded, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, please don't show your affection in front of me." Liu Cong was already unhappy, and deliberately said with a sullen face: "What are you doing? Now that the case has been solved, let Jin Zhun come to personally judge and write the documents. Anyway, kill all of them, there is no need to keep their lives. They are all selfish and want to get something, haha, there is no such a cheap thing in the world. Besides, this is the Han Dynasty, and this is Chang'an."

When Liu Cong said this, he deliberately looked at Jin Zhun twice. Jin Zhun immediately bowed and said that he would definitely handle the matter. He was also a smart man, so how could he not understand what Liu Cong meant.

"Okay, General, General's wife, we have solved the case, can we go back to the palace now? I ran out early in the morning and I am hungry now." Liu Cong yawned and waved his hand, asking Jin Xi to come to him and talk. "You are young, so you should investigate this kind of thing carefully. How can you convince others with such a sloppy judgment? Look, this person's father is pulling his neck to come to me to cry out for injustice. How embarrassing!"

Jin Xi knelt beside Jin Zhun, not daring to breathe.

"Fortunately, the general and his wife settled the matter. You should thank them, right?" There was no anger on Liu Cong's face, but a smile instead.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jin Xi was still smart at this moment. He immediately kowtowed to Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong to express his gratitude.

Liu Cong's expression was even more satisfied, and he smiled and said, "Okay, the general is busy too. Don't always ask others for help in the future. You should learn to do more things yourself, so that you can have a promising future, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." This time, Jin Xi also understood the meaning. Liu Cong did not blame him, and the position of Chang'an prefect would not be deprived. He felt relieved.

But unexpectedly, Liu Cong changed the subject and said to Jin Zhun, "You too, your nephew is so young, how can he be so outstanding? You should help him more. From today on, you should not worry about the military affairs and memorials, but let Liu Yao handle them. Liu Yao, even if you are not going to the battle, you should not be idle in Chang'an!"

Liu Cong turned his attention to Liu Yao again, looking at him with a half-smile, "You and Third Sister should not stick together all the time. I feel uncomfortable seeing you like that."
