Chapter 96: The Mother Protecting Her Daughter, Departs for the Border at Midnight

When Su Xuance returned from Dali Temple, he saw that the entire courtyard was piled with pork, and a faint smell of blood wafted towards him.

His gentle and handsome face was somewhat cracked.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"

Renbao's voice came from behind, and Su Xuance turned around.

Baskets of melons and fruits were carried in by the maids and servants of the mansion.

Su Xuance looked at Renbao, whose face still held a childlike innocence, with a complicated expression: "Renbao, why did you buy so much meat and fruit?"

News of Renbao's sweeping up of grain shops in Beijing spread throughout the capital.

But this meat and fruit...

"For Uncle and the soldiers!" Renbao counted the baskets with his chubby little hands, talking to himself, "What else is missing?"

Su Xuance sighed softly and said, "Renbao, it will take at least half a month to get from the capital to the border. The meat and fruits will spoil along the way."

The maid and servant, who had been exhausted for most of the day, were stunned and looked at Su Xuance in unison, their eyes showing confusion.

If we can't send them to the border, we'll have so much meat and fruit in the courtyard that we could eat until we were sick of it.

Renbao thought for a moment, then snapped his chubby little fingers: "I've got it!"

All eyes immediately fell on her.

"Miss, what method is it?" Tao Xiang's voice trembled.

She was strong from a young age and wanted to join the army and go to the battlefield, but she was a girl.

She knew the reason behind Renbao's actions: the soldiers guarding the border were short of food.

She earnestly hoped that they could have a hot meal.

"We'll take the path of the underworld!" Renbao said. "It won't take more than a few hours to reach the border!"

These words struck Su Xuance like a thunderbolt.

Several hours!

How incredibly fast!

This is too amazing... and too good! In this way, the urgent problem of food shortage at the border can be solved very quickly.

"Renbao, what is the Yin Road?" Su Xuance squatted down to look her in the eye and asked.

Renbao leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Daddy, the Yin Road is the road that ghosts walk on."

Su Xuance's eyes showed worry.

He knew that Renbao possessed extraordinary abilities.

But as a father, I still have concerns.

But seeing Renbao's determined little face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

This is what Compal wants to do.

"When do we set off?" Su Xuance hugged Renbao and ruffled her hair.

Renbao sensed his unease and hugged his neck, saying, "Zishi, Daddy, don't worry, I'm very capable!"

Su Xuance nodded with a smile, pride welling up in his eyes: "Renbao is amazing."

"My lord." Lai Fu approached, interrupting the tender moment between father and daughter. He said softly, "Madam He has come to the gate of the mansion, throwing a tantrum and insisting that you arrest Zou Lingyu."

Renbao's eyes darted around: "Daddy, I want to go too."

With disheveled hair and a haggard face, Madam He sat on the ground. Hearing the noise, she looked up, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"Lord Su, Zou Lingyu murdered her father and brother, and even angered her grandmother to the point of death. Why don't you arrest this rebellious and unfilial daughter who deserves to be struck by lightning and imprison her!"

He's voice was rough and sent chills down one's spine.

Su Xuance's expression remained unchanged: "Without evidence, the Dali Temple cannot arrest people without cause."

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?" Madam He shouted angrily, her whole body trembling, pointing at him and cursing uncontrollably, "Incompetent official! You are an incompetent official!"

Su Xuance didn't react much.

Renbao, nestled in his arms, protested, her eyes widening. "Don't you dare talk about my father!"

Renbao carefully examined He's face, a faint red mist appearing in his eyes that vanished in an instant.

When Little Yama looks at someone intently, no one has any secrets from her; their entire past life is laid bare.

"Father, she killed someone." Renbao pointed at Madam He.

He was startled and immediately retorted loudly, "Nonsense! How could I have killed him!"

Su Xuance always believed Renbao's words without question, and he gave Laifu a wink.

Lai Fu led his men to arrest He Shi, and her daughter Zou Lingyu was also arrested and taken back to Dali Temple.

Upon seeing Zou Lingyu, Madam He became like a raging tiger. If it weren't for the officials holding her down, she probably would have torn Zou Lingyu apart.

"This humble woman greets Your Excellency." Zou Lingyu looked at Madam He with a pained expression, then knelt down.

Su Xuance stared at her and said solemnly, "I have evidence that your mother, He Shi, is the murderer who killed your father and brother."

Zou Lingyu's expression changed slightly. She lowered her head and remained silent, her hands clenching at her sides.

"It was her, she killed someone, not me!" Madam He looked at Su Xuance in disbelief and shouted hoarsely.

Renbao sat next to Su Xuance, with a pile of candied fruit and maltose on the small table in front of him.

Registrar Gu would glance at Renbao, whose cheeks were bulging from eating, his eyes full of kindness.

She's so cute and adorable!

I really want to steal her home!

"Uncle Gu, have some too." Renbao held up a candied fruit and offered it to him.

Registrar Gu doesn't like sweets, but he has to eat what Renbao gives him!

"Thank you, Renbao." Clerk Gu said in a high-pitched voice, his head already buried under the table.

Su Xuance glanced at him, then coughed, making a fist.

Registrar Gu immediately downed the candied fruit in one gulp, straightened up, sat upright, and mumbled, "What's wrong?"

"Get me a pen." Su Xuance looked at him speechlessly.

Registrar Gu gave an "oh," then immediately grabbed his pen and stared at Zou Lingyu: "Confess honestly!"

Zou Lingyu remained silent.

At that moment, Ms. He suddenly began to convulse.

Everyone was startled.

Renbao peeked over and exclaimed in surprise.

"It was me, I killed them."

In an instant, Madam He seemed to have become a different person. She stopped struggling, her face calmed down, and the look she gave Zou Lingyu was no longer hostile.

Renbao stared at her intently, taking notes in his little notebook.

People can change into a second form!

Zou Lingyu broke down in tears, crying, "Mother, please don't say that..."

Madam He looked at her and smiled kindly: "Yu'er, I need to finish speaking as soon as possible, otherwise someone else will take my place. After I die, you must take good care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Xuance.

"My lord, my husband is a gambler and a regular at brothels. He is naturally lewd and has been eyeing my daughter all along."

That day, he tried to force himself on Yu'er, but I accidentally killed him. My son happened to see it, and during the argument, I pushed him to the ground, where he hit the corner of the table and died.

My mother-in-law came when she heard the noise, and she died on the spot.

After Mr. He finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Su Xuance grasped the key point: "You said there are two people inside you?"

Madam He nodded: "I was the one who committed the murder, but the other person was afraid of going to the authorities. She also felt that she did not do it, so she reported it to the authorities and accused my daughter."

She explained.

That makes sense now.

No wonder when Ms. He accused Zou Lingyu, she neither refuted nor stood up to counterattack.

"Mother!" Zou Lingyu cried out as she saw the officials about to take He Shi to the dungeon.

Madam He turned to look at her and smiled: "Yu'er, I've hidden several dozen taels of silver in your pillow. Forget everything else and just live a good life."

This is all she can do for her daughter.

She was cowardly her whole life, but she protected her daughter.

enough.

The atmosphere at the Dali Temple was somewhat silent, but the law could not be violated; murderers had to pay with their lives.

Renbao looked on thoughtfully and jotted down his thoughts in his notebook.

Night fell, and midnight arrived.

Renbao stood in the courtyard.

Tao Xiang went to the border with her.

Su Xuance and the others looked at the courtyard full of grain, still completely bewildered.

How are we going to move all of these?
