The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 82 Revealing the truth
  Could it be that Chen Shu
  "Princess, I suddenly thought of something at home that I need to go back to. You should go back to your room and rest first."

Wen Jiu bowed to Si Huaian and walked towards the gate without stopping.

He didn't even care about the rain splashing on his skirt.

"What's going on today? Everyone seems to be in a hurry?"

Si Huai'an looked doubtfully in the direction Wen Jiu left.

But this weather does make people feel very uneasy.

"Go to West Market."

Wen Jiu ordered as soon as he got on the carriage.

"Girl, the master said to let you."

Zisu was about to persuade, but was interrupted by Wen Jiu.

"Zisu, you are from my yard."

She warned in a deep voice that if Zi Su would only help her father threaten her at this moment, it would be better not to follow him.

On a rainy day, there were few pedestrians on the road, and we arrived at the entrance of the alley in the West Market in a quarter of an hour.

The vendors here have already closed their stalls.

It's not because of the rain, but because the Jin Yiwei just came and arrested a group of people.

Wen Jiu held an umbrella alone and approached Chen's house. There was no fireworks like the past.

If Mother Chen were here, the firewood in the stove would have been burning by now.

Wen Jiu thought for a moment, then turned around to leave.

The umbrella rotated unconsciously, and the raindrops flew away.

"woooooo"

There were cries in the house.

Wen Jiu paused. Is there anyone there?

She quickly walked in.

"Chen Miao?"

Wen Jiu tried her best to keep her voice calm. She couldn't panic. If she panicked, Chen Miao would be even more scared.

"Miss Wen, why are you here?"

When Chen Miao saw the person coming, she stood up holding back tears.

"What happened? I heard from the princess that someone from the Chen family was involved in the case."

Wen Jiu tried his best to speak tactfully.

Chen Miao opened her hazy tearful eyes. When she saw that the person coming was Wen Jiu, she just said: "My mother and uncle's family were taken away by the Jinyiwei people. My brother has not come back yet."

"Taken away by Jin Yiwei?"

Zhang Xichu's family fell into the hands of Jin Yiwei, what else can't be confessed?
  "Well, they had just been taken out when I came back. Mom only told me to take care of my brother, but Miss Wen, my mother must be innocent. How could she, a woman, kill dad? He was just drinking. Drunk to death.”

Wen Jiu walked to her side silently, "Tell me, what happened just now? Why did the Jin Yiwei suddenly come to arrest people?"

If nothing unexpected happens, only Chen’s mother and Chen Shu’s uncle will know about this matter.
  "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Chen Miao suddenly slapped herself twice. Wen Jiu quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her: "It won't help. You tell me the cause and effect, and I will help you think of a solution."

Chen Miao raised her head silently, tears streaming down her face, and looked at Wen Jiu with red and swollen eyes: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been angry with Liu Yue. I told her about the engagement between sister Xichu and her brother in a fit of anger. I shouldn't have done it just for excitement. She just talks nonsense so that she won’t go to Sister Xichu.”

"Liu Yue went to find Zhang Xichu, why did the Jin Yiwei come to arrest him?"

"Sister Xichu just arrived in the capital. She didn't know that people in the capital are not economical. She didn't know what happened and she got into a quarrel with Liu Yue."

Wen Jiu frowned slightly, probably because he was brave for love, but he kicked the iron plate.

"Then Sister Xichu said that my brother must marry her. Even if the princess wants to marry my brother today, my brother will marry her as his wife."

After all, I even pulled out the princess, for fear that I don’t know what the Chen family has in your Zhang family’s hands.

It was obvious from Zhang Xichu's words that she knew about this matter, maybe it was Zhang's father who told her.

"Why must I marry her?"

Wen Jiu asked knowingly.

Chen Miao glanced at Wen Jiu worriedly, wondering if she should say anything. “Chen Miao, if you don’t believe me, you don’t have to say anything.”

"She said that my mother killed someone." Chen Miao's cry was obvious. "Liu Yue said that Sister Xichu was disrespectful to the princess and wanted to make the princess a concubine. Someone arrested Sister Xichu in the tea shop."

"Liu Yue, really, what power does she have to take over people?"

But Wen Jiu knew in his heart that Liu Yue must have realized that something was wrong with Zhang Xichu's words and just asked the servants to scare her.

"I don't know what Liu Yue and Sister Xichu said later. Sister Xichu told me everything, even how my mother killed my father. She even said it was reasonable and well-founded. When she came out of the tea shop, her whole body was full of emotions. She seemed to have lost her soul. She didn’t know what Liu Yue had done to her. But she was taken away by Jin Yiwei as soon as she got home."

"Miss Wen, my mother is not in good health. I heard that no one can come out of the prison alive. Can you help me? My brother will definitely be implicated in this matter. Miss Wen, can you help me?"

Wen Jiu patted her shoulder and comforted her: "As long as your mother is innocent, Jin Yiwei cannot touch her in the slightest."

But your mother is not innocent.
  But more than ten years have passed since this incident, and the evidence from that time is no longer there.

Even if Lu Xu wanted to investigate, he might not be able to do so.

"Really? But..."

Wen Jiu knew what Chen Miao wanted to say. The news spread to everyone, and she might have believed it.

"I have an acquaintance with Jin Yiwei. I'll go and tell him first. The old lady is still in prison and she must be taken care of first."

"Okay, thank you Miss Wen."

"Miss Chen, you should have a good rest first."

Wen Jiu got on the carriage parked on the roadside and headed towards the Jinyi Health Department.

"Hats."

The Jinyi Health Department is crowded with people and confused eyes.

"Girl, this is"

"You can always find your future husband. Even if dad sees it, he won't say anything."

There was a hint of ridicule in Wen Jiu's plain voice.

"Sir, this is the jade pendant of Mr. Lu Xulu. Please inform my girl."

Zisu got out of the carriage with the jade pendant Wen Jiu gave her.

When the man saw the jade pendant, he quickly handed it over and said, "Miss, please wait a moment."

Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing your own boss.

"Sir, that's the girl."

Lu Xu looked in the direction of his subordinate's finger.

It was the maid beside Wen Jiu.

Then on this carriage.
  "Lu Xu, I have something to tell you."

The two of them each held an umbrella and walked to a place with few people.

"Long time no see."

Lu Xu knew her purpose, and Chen Shu's mother was caught on the front foot, so she followed behind.

She should be in school at this moment, not here.

"Yes, my lord may not have summoned me for a long time."

We always have a reason to meet, it's probably destiny.

"Tell me what happened this time."

"What do you mean you have it again? Why are you so clear about everything between you and me? Aren't we evened out every time?"

Wen Jiupi smiled but said this as if he was looking for trouble with him every day.

"But this time it's true that I have something to do with you, Mr. Lu." She smiled flatteringly.

"Chen Shu's mother and uncle were both arrested. I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks?"

"The case hasn't been handled yet, so what do you think? Not only are these two in jail, but Mr. Chen Shuchen will also be arrested and interrogated."

　There will also be a good update on the first day of 2024~
