Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 79 Help
"Xie Jieyu?"

Liu Baolin turned around and found that Xie Jiu, who had left Weiyang Palace earlier, had not actually gone far.

"Don't worry, I didn't hear what you said." Xie Jiu walked closer slowly. "I just saw that you looked worried. I guess it was because of Concubine Wei, so I came to ask."

Walking up to Liu Baolin, Xie Jiu curled his lips and smiled gently.

"I ate your snacks last time. They were delicious. I still remember them."

This is an active way to get close to her.

Liu Baolin's eyes flashed, as if she thought of something, but when she looked up and met Xie Jiu's eyes, she hesitated again.

Would people really be willing to help her?
Compared with Concubine Wei, her trust in Xie Jiu is really not high.

"Just say what you want to say. I'm in a good mood today. If I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to speak again." Xie Jiu said lightly.

She could already see that Liu Baolin wanted to ask for help with something.

This can explain why Liu Baolin took the risk to stand up and plead for Concubine Wei in front of the Queen. He probably hoped to gain some favor from Concubine Wei and then ask her for help.

But Wei Jieyu's behavior just now clearly showed that the two had not reached an agreement, and Liu Baolin was turned down.

And this is why Xie Jiu appeared at the right time after watching the show.

She wanted to win over Liu Baolin, and now was a good opportunity.

Of course, that also depends on whether Liu Baolincoln is willing to accept her offer of help.

"Since you've asked, I'll have to shamelessly tell you that my brother from my mother's family is facing a difficult lawsuit, and I hope you can help!"

Liu Baolin didn't hesitate for too long. After a moment, he spoke decisively.

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiu's face showed understanding, but he immediately raised his hand to stop Liu Baolin from saying the next word.

"This is not the place to talk. I'll wait for you in the small garden towards Zhongcui Palace."

There must be the Queen's spies outside the Weiyang Palace.

Liu Baolin immediately understood, nodded, and left first.

Soon, the two of them came together from different paths.

Without any hesitation, Liu Baolin quickly recounted what happened at her mother's home.

Her elder brother, Liu Yan, the eldest son of the Liu family, had a fiancée, the daughter of a family close to the Liu family, whose surname was Qian.

The Qian family was originally a family of officials, on par with the Liu family. However, when Zhao Xingjin started the uprising, the capital was in chaos, and Miss Qian's father was murdered by his colleagues and became a scapegoat for others. Unfortunately, he died in vain. Her two brothers tried to redress their father's grievances, but not only did they fail, they were also killed, and the family fell into decline.

However, the Liu family was kind and did not cancel the engagement because of the Qian family's poverty. Instead, they supported several female members of the Qian family. Seeing that the world was peaceful now, they took the initiative to propose marriage for their two children.

It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but unexpectedly, while Miss Qian was happily out shopping for silk and fabric to embroider her wedding gown, she was spotted by a nobleman on the street, who not only molested her but also attempted to abduct her. Liu Baolin's brother, Liu Yan, was a sergeant in the city defense battalion. He was on patrol that day and saw his fiancée being molested. Naturally, he wanted to arrest the lecher and punish him according to the law. However, after he was thrown into prison, he discovered that the nobleman was actually Princess Heng's younger brother, Liang Chengyi.

This new generation of royal relatives of the Liang family had not been in Beijing for long, so Liu Yan did not know them. However, this did not prevent the Liang family from feeling sorry for their son, and they came to settle the score with him that same day.

Not only did he take his own son away, but he also turned the tables and said that Liu Yan, as a member of the city defense camp, took advantage of his power to bully others and injured innocent people in the street. As a result, Liang Chengyi was released, but Liu Yan was locked up.

The Liu family are all loyal and honest people. Even though Liu's father made a contribution by opening the door to welcome people when Zhao Xingjin came to Beijing, and his daughter was selected into the palace, he never tried to gain personal connections later. Now he is still the same as before, with no power and no one to turn to for help. He can only try to speak a few words in front of the emperor through his daughter Liu Baolin.

But the key point is that Liu Baolin is not favored. His appearance is not outstanding and his family background is not conspicuous. He was chosen to enter the palace in order to show that Zhao Xingjin treated the old ministers of the previous dynasty and his own people equally, and he was not particularly optimistic about Liu Baolin.

The news came in yesterday. Liu Baolin was extremely worried, but there was nothing he could do.

She wanted to win favor and meet Zhao Xingjin, but the timing was too bad.

Xie Jiu was again the one playing the pipa in Chengming Palace. The Queen's sister Zhou Baolin had just been appointed to the palace, and Concubine Chen was the one sleeping with her that night, so how could it be her turn?

He also thought about asking for help directly from Concubine Wei, who lived with him. After all, Concubine Wei's father had a lot of influence in front of the emperor. However, Concubine Wei was always cold and selfless. Liu Baolin had no friendship with her and did not dare to speak rashly. Now he finally found an opportunity, but was blocked by Concubine Wei again.

She really had no other choice.

"Xie Jieyu, please help my brother. He has always been a kind person and would never do anything malicious to hurt others. It was the young master of the Liang family who molested my future sister-in-law first and then tried to forcefully take a woman away. My brother then intervened and acted according to the law. But now the Liang family has turned the tables on him, and my brother has been trapped in prison ever since, unable to escape!"

Liu Baolin's face showed worry and anger, and his begging expression was genuine. He even bowed deeply.

"Hurry up and get up first." Xie Jiu reached out and helped her up, his face a little serious. "If what you said is true, then this Liang family is really too presumptuous."

Liu Baolin's eyes were slightly red, with anger and worry. "Prince Heng is the Emperor's brother, and they have a deep bond. Princess Heng is also favored, and has a very good relationship with Prince Heng and his wife. This youngest son of the Liang family has been bullying others by taking advantage of Princess Heng's influence. But the Liang family mistress loves her youngest son very much and has always protected him."

"I know everything. Don't worry now. I'll ask someone to check it out first. If I can be of help, I will do my best." Xie Jiu said in a deep voice.

She couldn't guarantee it, although this incident had given her a good idea that would benefit her in other ways.

Liu Baolin was very happy with just this reply.

In Liu Baolin's opinion, Xie Jiu's father was the prime minister of the dynasty. Xie Jiu was able to enter the palace as a second bride, and her ex-husband was a criminal. This was enough to show the weight of the Xie family in the emperor's heart. As long as Xie Jiu was willing to help, it would definitely succeed.

So he immediately bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

"Okay, don't tell anyone else about this for now. You still have things to do at Zhongcui Palace, so go back quickly. I will send someone to tell you when there is some progress on this matter." Xie Jiu waved his hand.

Liu Baolin nodded and left.

After she left, Xie Jiu returned to Ninghua Palace without any rush.

On the way, Chunrong couldn't help but ask, "Jieyu, why are you getting involved in this mess? Prince Heng and the Emperor have a very good relationship. If he decides to protect his wife's uncle, what will you do? Are you going to offend Prince Heng?"
