"Thank you for your concern, Nian'er is no longer in trouble. Zhang Shaoxian is indeed hateful, but those guys in the caravan may not all follow him into the smuggling of iron ore, and I hope that the little grandfather can find out one by one, so as not to let go of the guilty or the innocent. ”

Ran Qiunian's words were reasonable, even though Qi Ruoyun didn't care about the life and death of a few insignificant ordinary people at all, but in order to make Ran Qiunian happy, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Sister Nian'er, just rest assured, I am not a murderous person, although the Holy Lord sent me and Brother Xiao to investigate the case of the loss of the Lingnan Iron Mine, but since the person was arrested in Lingzhou City, the local county order has the authority to give priority to the trial, I will still try my best to persuade him to investigate more, so as not to implicate the innocent guys in the caravan."

When Qi Ruoyun said this, he paused slightly, and then said to Ran Qiunian with relief:

"Naturally, Brother Ling's innocence goes without saying, Zhang Shaoxian even assassinated Brother Qiubai who wanted to stop him when he found out for personal gain. I will continue to transfer troops from the government to search, so that a person like Brother Qiu Bai who is anxious for justice and righteousness will not be assassinated by the villain. ”

After listening to Qi Ruoyun's assurance, Ran Qiunian was finally relieved, she was not as kind as others imagined, and the only one she wanted to pick out in this matter was Ran Qiubai, so she could do whatever it takes.

Since Qi Ruoyun made such a promise without mentioning any conditions, Ran Qiunian was also happy to accept it, and his gratitude to him was somewhat sincere, and he was no longer as perfunctory as usual.

Not to mention anything else, just Qi Ruoyun's willingness to keep her Qiubai brother is enough to make Ran Qiu remember his kindness, although he is still haunted by Qi Ruoyun's betrayal in his previous life, but at the beginning, the desire to take revenge was much lighter.

"This time, thank you so much for your righteous action."

"Why does Sister Nian'er need to be so polite to me? Rest well, and I'll let you know when the outcome of the trial is down tomorrow. ”

Ran Qiunian's change in attitude towards him, Qi Ruoyun could naturally feel a little bit, and suddenly felt a little secretly happy. He saw that Ran Qiunian was tired and couldn't bear to disturb it any longer, so he took the initiative to leave.

"The little grandfather is actually a good person, the slave looks at it, he is really considerate to Miss."

After Qi Ruoyun left, Qingxi brought the calming soup that had just been put aside to cool down to Ran Qiunian, and he couldn't help but say a few words about Qi Ruoyun's goodness.

"Brother Qiubai was not involved in the smuggling of iron ore in the first place, and for him, this was just a matter of words. He said this just to make me remember him more. When I say that, I just want to have more peace of mind. ”

Ran Qiunian took the soothing soup that had been put in just enough to eat, lowered his head and took a few sips, his tone was a little light.

"Yes, yes, in Miss's heart, the eldest young master is the best, and no one else can compare. Yes and no? Qingxi saw that Ran Qiunian's mood was still a little uneased, so he deliberately teased a few words, wanting to make Ran Qiunian cheer up some spirits.

"Don't talk nonsense," Ran Qiunian's face flushed, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, glaring at Qingxi secretly, and then whispered, "Of course the big brother is the best." ”

After all, it seems that he has some spirits, and Qingxi is finally relieved.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about another person. But seeing that the young lady escaped from death and hadn't completely eased up, Qingxi couldn't bear to make her unhappy with those bad things, so she could only press and not mention it.

Unexpectedly, Ran Qiunian took the initiative to speak: "This time I was arrested by Zhang Shao first, thanks to Zhang Shulin who took people away, I was spared from it." No matter what, I remember his kindness. ”

Qingxi's heart moved, and she couldn't help but secretly look at Ran Qiunian's expression, but when she saw her eyebrows and eyes looking at her gently, she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"If he hadn't been involved in smuggling iron ore, he wouldn't have harmed Brother Qiubai with Zhang Shaoxian. I'm not going to embarrass him. After all, although he and Zhang Shaoxian are cousins, their nature is not bad. ”

Ran Qiunian looked at Qingxi's entangled and worried look, and finally relented.

Although she didn't pick out the layer of window paper for Qingxi and Zhang Shulin, as long as Zhang Shulin was really innocent in this matter, she would no longer think about being the person who beat the mandarin ducks.

"Miss, don't worry about these things, it's the most important thing to take care of your body now, hurry up and drink the soothing soup and go to bed early. Tonight, the slave and maid will be guarding the house, so you can sleep peacefully. ”

Although Qingxi has a good impression of Zhang Shulin, compared to Ran Qiunian, it is nothing. She was reluctant to see Ran Qiunian worrying about these things, so she was not allowed to think about these things anymore at the moment, urging people to go to bed and rest.

Ran Qiunian smiled relievedly, sure enough, Qingxi is still her Qingxi, and it will not change under any circumstances, and it is not in vain that she really protects this girl as her own.

She drank the rest of the soup, rolled over to bed, closed her eyes, and slept peacefully.

A dreamless night.

I thought that after experiencing those bad things, I would not be able to sleep well at night, but after Ran Qiunian opened his eyes, he was refreshed.

"Miss, are you awake? Did you sleep well? ”

Qingxi really guarded her for one night, and when she woke up, she immediately stepped forward to change her clothes for Ran Qiunian and led her to the side to wash.

"I asked someone to prepare some appetizing porridge and side dishes for you, and I counted the time to deliver them. You wash up first, and you can eat it in a while. ”

"Qingxi, you are so caring, I can't leave you anymore. What should I do if I get married? ”

After Ran Qiu Nian put on his face, he looked at the hot breakfast that had been prepared on the table, and couldn't help but sigh, and sighed while holding Qingxi's hand.

"Miss is really good at laughing, then the slave maid has been taking care of the young lady, not marrying, and when the young lady has a little young lady in the future, the slave and the maid will help you continue to take care of the little miss."

Ran Qiunian was amused by Qingxi's innocent words: "I can't bear to let our family Qingxi work so hard all the time. ”

"What the slave said is true."

Qingxi explained it seriously, Ran Qiunian smiled, of course she believed that Qingxi could do what she said, and she never left her even if she died in her previous life.

But because of this, Ran Qiunian was reluctant to let Qingxi be confined to her side for the rest of her life, to be a busy little maid, and to serve people all her life.

If she really has the right person in the future, she will not hesitate to marry Qingxi as a sister and let her get out of slavery.

After breakfast, Ran Qiunian received new news - Zhang Shulin wanted to see her.

"This is Zhang Shulin's only request, want to see me? Why? ”

Ran Qiunian pointed at herself, feeling a little strange. Zhang Shulin was imprisoned with those guys in the caravan, and Xiao Yin went to see Zhang Shulin alone last night, but only got such an inexplicable request from him.

Originally, Xiao Yin was reluctant to pay attention to it, but who knew that this Zhang Shulin was rarely stubborn, no matter how much he threatened and intimidated, he was indifferent, his mouth was very tight, and he was unwilling to reveal anything.

Xiao Yin went to look for him again in the morning, he still said the same thing, he wanted to see Ran Qiunian and tell her what he knew alone.

Xiao Yin thought that Zhang Shulin was the only one who might know Ran Qiubai's whereabouts now, and he couldn't make this decision for Ran Qiunian, so he could only go back to the inn first and ask Ran Qiunian what he thought.

But there is no need to think about it, Ran Qiunian's final decision will only be one: "Since he is only willing to tell me one person, I will go and meet him." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yin was a little uneasy, Ran Qiunian continued: "He is in prison now, he can't do anything, besides, if he hadn't taken Zhang Shaoxian away in time last night...... Big brother, don't worry, I believe that he is still a little pure in nature, maybe there is really something unspeakable. ”

If Zhang Shao made this request first, Xiao Yin would directly ask people to go up to force a confession, and it was precisely because he knew that this Zhang Shulin was still a little pure and kind, that he would come back to tell Ran Qiunian about this matter.

Hearing this, he didn't stop him again, but this time, he learned his lesson and personally sent Ran Qiunian to a wing room behind the public court, so that Zhang Shulin could be taken out of the prison.

The environment in the prison was too cold and dirty, so he was naturally reluctant to let Ran Qiu read it, so he chose a compromise method. Fortunately, Xiao Yin has the right to assist in this case, and his official position is higher than that of the county order, and his actions are not out of line, but no one has any objections.

Xiao Yin accompanied Ran Qiunian and waited for Zhang Shulin to be mentioned, his hands and feet were chained, and after taking him to the wing, the two escorted servants automatically exited the house and guarded the door.

Zhang Shulin looked at Xiao Yin, who was still in the room, with a hesitant face, but Xiao Yin opened his mouth and said, "I agree that letting you see Nian'er here is already the biggest concession. ”

Ran Qiunian also hurriedly said: "If you have anything to say, just say it here." There's nothing I need to hide from him, and you can trust your big brother as much as you believe me. ”

"You, are you really the eldest lady of the Ran family? You are Brother Qiubai's sister, not Ran Lei? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shulin was silent for a long time, and then said something like this.

Ran Qiunian originally thought that Zhang Shulin's first sentence would be to plead with her, or to defend his innocence.

"I am." Ran Qiunian didn't think about hiding it any longer, last night's movement was really not small, even if she hid it from others, she couldn't fool Zhang Shulin, who took Zhang Shaoxian away at that time, he must have heard about it from Zhang Shaoxian.

"You found out last night, didn't you? I lied to you, but why do you continue to help me deceive Zhang Shaoxian? ”

"Because, you are her most important person, and I don't want her to be sad."

Although Zhang Shulin didn't say who she was, Ran Qiunian already knew the answer in his heart. So that's the case, she didn't expect that this kid Zhang Shulin would have such deep feelings for Qingxi.

"You're not just here to ask me this, right?"

Ran Qiunian's expression was a little complicated, and she asked straightforwardly.

"I, I may know the whereabouts of Brother Qiubai."

Zhang Shulin's voice was a little remorseful and uncertain, but it made Ran Qiunian's eyes freeze on him all of a sudden, although what he said was really a little inexplicable.
