In the corridor, Zhao Shu and the others ran into the servant who had been scared and fled at the gate earlier. The servant turned around trembling and said, "My lord, it's the seventh day since the eldest lady came back." After he finished speaking with all his strength, he fell to the ground.

As the servant fell down, Marquis Xuanping and his wife and daughter, who were hidden by him, were revealed one after another.

There was undoubtedly shock and disbelief in the eyes of the three people.

Zhao Shu bowed to the couple of Marquis Xuanping and said, "Father, mother."

Zhao Shu saw her mother looking at her with fear in her eyes. In fact, there was more than just fear in Zhang Lanyin's eyes, but the other emotions came and went too quickly, so Zhao Shu didn't see it clearly.

Zhao Xueying looked a little scared and shrank back behind Zhang Lanyin. Zhao Yao was also surprised at first, but his years of experience made him calm down quickly.

It is impossible for someone to fake a corpse. The only explanation is that Zhao Shu was rescued by someone!

Zhao Yao raised his foot and wanted to walk towards Zhao Shu. Zhang Lanyin saw his intention and quickly grabbed him.

Zhao Shu's eyes fell on the couple's clasped hands. Zhang Lanyin noticed her gaze and turned away uncomfortably.

Zhao Yao patted Zhang Lanyin's hand, then took her hand away and walked towards Zhao Shu.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhao Yao didn't know what he felt in his heart. Was he glad that she was still alive? Was he ashamed from the bottom of his heart? Was he at a loss as to how to speak to her?
Zhao Yao had lived for most of his life, but for the first time in a short moment he experienced a mixture of emotions.

In fact, it was not just Zhao Yao who was like this. In fact, even Zhao Shu was at a loss. Although her expression was the same as usual, she was still afraid in her heart. She was afraid that her father would say something to her, but she was also afraid that her father would not say anything to her!
Zhao Yao asked hoarsely: "Are you injured?"

Zhao Shu shook her head.

Zhao Yao: "Are you scared?"

Seeing that Zhao Shu still shook her head, his throat felt tight. How could she not be afraid? She just put him outside her defense line and didn't want to talk to him.

Zhao Yao asked the last question in his mind: "Have you ever blamed your father?"

When Zhao Shu heard this, she didn't know why her eyes were sore. She didn't dare to blink, and kept her eyes open, smiling at her father in front of her, and said in a low voice: "No, father had to give up his daughter for the sake of justice. I understand."

At this point, Zhang Lanyin also understood what was going on. She said stiffly from behind, "That's right!"

As soon as Zhang Lanyin's words came out, the slightly tense situation was instantly pulled back to normal. At the same time, Zhao Shu's eyes no longer felt sore because of these words.

Zhao Shu calmed down her emotions and bowed to Zhang Lanyin: "Mother is right."

Xie Jin, who was completely ignored for the first time, took a step forward and half-blocked Zhao Shu: "Uncle, aunt, I'll take Shu'er back to her room first."

Zhao Yao looked at the young man in front of him who was almost as tall as him and nodded. He was grateful to his cousin Xie Jin. If it weren't for the young man's persistence, Zhao Shu might not be able to stand here today.

So, Zhao Shu was sent back to her room by Xie Jin in front of everyone.

Xie Jin walked in front and Zhao Shu walked behind. They were only one step apart, but no one crossed the distance.

Xie Jin sent Zhao Shu to the gate of her yard. Neither of them spoke a word. Zhao Shu bowed to Xie Jin and walked into the yard without looking back.

Xie Jin watched her enter the yard, listened to the crying of her maid, and then turned and left.

Zhao Shu's return was like a huge stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples and finally calming down. Compared to the calmness on Zhao Shu's side, Lin Xun's side was in chaos.

On the day of the palace coup, Lin Xun was knocked unconscious by his father Lin Shuo, then tied up and taken back to the mansion and locked up in a house. He has not been released until today.

Actually, his father wanted to release him, and he did not have anyone guarding him on the second day of the coup, but Lin Xun was stubborn and confronted his father as soon as he came out. Lin Xun thought that his father was even more shameless than the shameless villain, and he criticized his father from beginning to end, using sharp words and the content was so vicious that he once wanted to have someone beat him to death.

Lin Xun's mother tried hard to pull Lin Shuo, who was going to deal with Lin Xun, and the farce finally ended with Lin Xun's father being persuaded to stop and Lin Xun being locked up again.

Even though Lin Xun was locked up, his mouth was never idle. From morning to night, from top to bottom, he scolded his father so much that he almost changed his human nature.

Originally, Lin Shuo planned to send two groups of people to help his son fulfill his innocent wish. If he wanted to find Zhao Shu, he could go find her. This time, he would not stop him.

But after listening to his son's useless words, he quickly regained his heart, which had softened a little. He didn't intend to care about his son's dirty thoughts about Zhao Shu, whether it was unclear whether it was friendship between classmates or something else. If he had the ability, he could protect the girl himself. Since he didn't have the ability to protect the girl, why did he come to him to make a fuss?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to lock up the annoying and rebellious son again, lest he get upset when he saw him!

Therefore, Lin Xun returned to his own small piece of land again, but no one could help him, no matter how desperate he was.

This farce continued until the day Xie Jin came to their house.

Li Yanrong, Wang Mo, Xu Ping and others had heard about Lin Xun's tragic deeds a long time ago. On this day, in the spirit of brotherhood, they planned to go to the Lin Mansion to persuade their good brother Lin Xun, who was stubborn and stubborn to the end.

The five young men bent over and stood furtively at the door of Lin Xun's house, trying hard to look inside through the crack in the door.

Li Yanrong used his fat body to occupy a good position for peeping, oh no, it was a good position for doing caring things in the name of concern. Xu Ping couldn't squeeze his big head away, so he could only ask in a low voice with a bad temper.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? Has Lin Xun become thinner and uglier?!" The gossip in the words could not be concealed.

Li Yanrong turned his head to look at him disapprovingly. Seeing his expression, he thought he was going to say something to save his friend's face, but he opened his mouth and said, "Don't squeeze me, I can't see how ugly Lin Xun is!"

Hearing this, Xu Ping immediately took a step aside and pulled the other people who were trying to get closer to the door, for fear that they would disturb Li Yanrong.

The young men all looked at Li Yanrong expectantly. After a while, Li Yanrong turned around and said with a look of half worry and half gloating: "You've lost weight! You've become uglier!"

When they heard that Lin Xun had lost weight, they were so excited that even the usually taciturn Wang Mo couldn't help but curl his eyes.

Xu Ping immediately put his head close to the crack in the door, wanting to get a glimpse of it himself. When the others saw Xu Ping's actions, they all came over eagerly.

They want to see it too!
"Cough cough," a hoarse cough sound came from inside the door.

The sound scared Xu Ping and the others so much that they were startled and their heads bumped into each other.

Xu Ping and the others covered their heads and cried out in pain.

Li Yanrong touched his nose awkwardly and reflected on himself, his good friend is already in such a state, and they still come to gloat over his misfortune, isn't that a bit too much?
"Have you seen Zhao Shu in the past few days?" The hoarse voice continued to come from inside the door.

Upon hearing this name, Li Yanrong and the others were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment.
