Mrs. Wei glanced at Xiuyu obliquely, and then asked Mei Xiaoren: "Xiaomei, do you still want this little cheap hoof, if you don't want it, let me take it back?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked at Chu Yu, Chu Yu still had doubts about this Xiuyu's motives, and the evidence she found now could only prove that Xiuyu was sowing discord between the scholar and the couple, and it was not enough to determine whether Xiuyu was doing this for herself or was instructed by others.

She planned to escort Xiuyu back to the yamen for interrogation first, and then hand over the person to Mrs. Wei for interrogation after the results of the trial.

Mei Xiaoren summoned the official messenger to escort the three masters and servants away, and the courtyard gradually quieted down.

As night fell, the evening wind blew heavy veils and danced, and before long, light snow flew between the heavens and the earth, deepening the chill.

She, Chu Yu and Mrs. Wei walked out silently.

Xiuyu revealed her true face, Mrs. Wei learned the truth, and saw that Xiuyu was sent to prison, she was a little happy, but as soon as she walked out of the garden, her expression immediately became extremely serious.

Mei Xiaoren saw it when he went out, and the scholar did not go far after leaving, and the others were standing on the edge of the mountain pond opposite the villa at this time, with their backs to them, looking lonely and lonely in the snow.

She looked at Mrs. Wei, who had withdrawn her gaze and lowered her eyes.

"Madam......" Mei Xiaoren called softly.

Mrs. Wei raised her eyes to look at her, the corners of her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something to her, but because she was still surrounded by the Prime Minister, she swallowed back the words that came to her lips and only said: "Xiaomei, I really thank you for speaking for me this time, I'll leave first if there is nothing else." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled at her, and said goodbye to Chu Yu, without saying a word else.

Mei Xiaoren watched Mrs. Wei leave, and saw Mrs. Wei walking towards the horse tied under the tree. A man waiting by the horse saw Mrs. Wei coming, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Miss, is the matter over?" ”

"It's almost, Zhanyue, let's go back." Mrs. Wei got on her horse and left with the men who accompanied her.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance drew a look back from the people on the edge of the pond, and he saw two people walking side by side......

Mei Xiaoren then found that Scholar Wei was watching Mrs. Wei, presumably he recognized who the person next to Mrs. Wei was, that was Zhan Yue, the youngest and most promising general beside General Zhu, and also Mrs. Wei's playmate who grew up in a small area, and was loyal to Ding'an Houfu.

She retracted her gaze, shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "Xiangye, I can still deal with women, but I can't persuade injured men, where are the scholars...... Or you go. ”

"I guess Wei Shuying can't wait to jump now, it's a hundred, he has been romantic for many years, read countless women, and finally planted it in the hands of a woman." Gu Chuyu stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Mei Xiaoren's shoulder, and slowly turned around with her, "Now is the time when he is the most faceless, it is not appropriate for anyone to go, let him think about it himself, let's go." ”

Mei Xiaoren asked as he walked: "Based on your understanding of the scholar, do you say that he is willing to reconcile with his wife?" ”

"If the Zhu family insists, he will, but not the opposite."

She wondered: "Is 'no' due to affection, or has it become a habit to be together?" ”

"Stemming from his abundant economy." Gu Chuyu continued, "Don't look at his clamoring to divorce his wife in the past, it was a lifelong event that was manipulated, and he was not convinced, he read the sage books to the fullest, and he was greedy for the wind and snow, but he couldn't do anything to divorce his wife." ”

Mei Xiaoren sighed slowly: "Then it all depends on how Mrs. Wei decides." ”

Upper Beijing Prefectural Office.

When Mei Xiaoren appeared in front of Xiuyu again, she was already dressed in an official uniform, and she walked to Xiuyu's cell and stood still, followed by many jailers.

She saw Xiuyu sitting on a simple wooden bed with her knees crossed, and her unfatted face could still make a man fall for it, but this was a women's prison, and there was no one who even had a mouse, and no one had the heart to appreciate her beauty in the prosperous world.

The prison woman bowed down and said, "My lord, she just wanted to kill herself by cutting her wrists, but she was stopped by the little ones." ”

"Cut your wrists and kill yourself, what do you use to cut yourself?" Mei Xiaoren asked.

The prison woman pointed to the broken piece of porcelain on the ground.

Mei Xiaoren could tell from the texture of the porcelain tiles that it came from the bowl that held the rice.

"If you really want to die, the porcelain is blunt." She looked at Xiuyu and instructed lightly, "Come on, give her a dagger." ”

The jailer quickly found a sharp dagger and threw it into the cell according to Mei Xiaoren's order.

Xiuyu was still sitting on the wooden board with her legs crossed, unmoved.

Mei Xiaoren urged: "Don't you want to seek death and life, and now the official will give you this opportunity, isn't it fast?" ”

Xiuyu raised her head and stared at her, her gaze extremely cold.

Mei Xiaoren looked at him calmly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Do you want to win sympathy or really don't want to live, everyone knows it in their hearts, why bother here, the official's yamen can't tolerate your presumptuousness." ”

"I want to see a scholar." Xiuyu stared at the right color.

Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to the side and answered casually: "Where did the face come from?" ”

"The university scholar will not be so ruthless and leave me here alone......"

Mei Xiaoren said coldly: "I can't say the word ruthless, what you should say is that there is no one behind your calculations." ”

Xiuyu suddenly became silent, turned her face away, and didn't say a word.

"Don't think that you are a delicate girl, the official is reluctant to torture you, you dare to give the court officials five stones to scatter evil medicine, you have already committed a capital crime!"

"Then you kill me, I have nothing to say." Xiuyu raised her chin.

"You are a down-and-out young lady, how can you have such a big deal and hire someone to spread rumors for you?"

"In the past, my family was well-off, even if my family is ruined now, the jewelry that my mother and I have accumulated can be exchanged for a lot of silver." Xiuyu hooked the corners of her mouth, "How noble is the identity of Mrs. Scholar, if I get my wish, what do I want, as the saying goes, I can't bear the wolf if I can't bear the child, such a vision, isn't it worth it for me to break the boat?" ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded and said with a smile: "What do you want to say, it seems that there is no need for the official to ask, but the official has to remind you, Xiuyu, if you recruit from the truth, I see that you are a girl's family, and I will not punish you, but if you don't tell the truth, it will not be enough to dispel the Prime Minister's suspicion of you, according to the rules, I have to hand you over to the Hidden Moon Platform for disposal, there is no one who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade." ”

Xiuyu's statement is not entirely implausible, but even if the matter of silver can be explained in this way, there are still doubts, such as how did she know when Mrs. Wei would come back, and then set up a situation in advance to wait for the rabbit?

Xiuyu looked indifferent, "Whatever, my lord." She looked at Mei Xiaoren and said unhurriedly, "But Xiuyu also has to remind adults that the scholar will not forget me, I will not let him forget me, and he will definitely take me out from here." ”

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help laughing, nodded, and sighed with her hands: "Miss Xiuyu is really beautiful, think about beauty." ”
