Xia Qingtong doesn't want to be strong, everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others. She also has it, so Liu Mulan doesn't want to say it, so she won't ask.

"Where does Miss Liu live? I'll have you sent back. ”

Liu Mulan looked at Xia Qingtong's frank expression and shook her head.

"When I get to the front, the girl will put me down, and I'll go back by myself."

Xia Qingtong looked at her with a determined expression on her face, and didn't say much, waved her hand, and asked Hongying to tell the carriage to go in the direction she said.

The car stopped at the corner of the street, and Liu Mulan saluted Xia Qingtong. When she was about to get out of the car, Xia Qingtong called her.

"Miss Liu."

Liu Mulan turned around and looked at her with some puzzlement, with obvious nervousness on her face.

Xia Qingtong acted as if he hadn't seen it: "Last time you said you were going to see Ling Zun, I wonder if Ling Zun's illness is getting better?" If there is still a shortage of money, you can tell me. ”

"No, no." Liu Mulan didn't expect Xia Qingtong to stop herself in order to say this: "My father is much better." Miss Xie cared. ”

"That's good." Xia Qingtong didn't dwell on this: "I am the daughter of the Marquis of Jianping, line three." If you have any difficulties, you can come to the Hou Mansion to find me. ”

Liu Mulan was stunned again because of Xia Qingtong's words, and finally she nodded heavily, and then got out of the car and left.

Hong Ying glanced at Xia Qingtong after Liu Mulan left: "Girl, this person really doesn't know what to do." You help her like this, but she has reservations—"

"I understand." Xia Qingtong was not as angry as Hong Ying: "I am just two sides of her relationship. She happened to be hunted down and killed by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Speaking of which, in her eyes, she may regard me as the same person as the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's understandable to be defensive. ”

She helped Liu Mulan just easily, and she didn't expect her to repay her.

What's more, a frightened person like Liu Mulan is not easy to trust others easily.

"The girl is just too kind-hearted."

Xia Qingtong didn't plan to discuss this topic. She had other things to do.

Since the Yin family will not be able to fall for a while, she might as well find a way to unlock the secret of the badge for Ming Yue.

Maybe there is really a treasure, and then she can be regarded as helping Ming Yue.

"Let's go, go home."

The carriage slowly drove towards the Hou Mansion, and when it arrived at the door, Xia Qingtong had just gotten out of the car, and a figure rushed out in front of him.

Liu Mulan, who was just now, went and returned, and was standing in front of Xia Qingtong at this time.

She may have followed all the way, her breath was a little panting, and on such a winter day, there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.

"Miss Liu?" Xia Qingtong looked at her left and right, and there was no one else: "What's wrong?" Did you forget to say something just now? ”

"I-"

Liu Mulan looked at Xia Qingtong, and then looked left and right, the tangled look in her eyes did not subside, but was a little more nervous.

Xia Qingtong immediately understood, and glanced at Liu Mulan: "You come with me." ”

Take Liu Mulan all the way back to his yard. After letting Cai Wei serve tea, he sent everyone out, leaving only Red Sakura to guard outside.

"Miss Liu, what do you have to say, you can say it now."

Liu Mulan looked at Xia Qingtong and suddenly knelt down towards her. This move frightened Xia Qingtong again.

"Miss Liu, what are you doing here? Get up. Reaching out to help, Liu Mulan refused to get up.

"Miss Xia." Liu Mulan looked up at her, and her eyes were a little pleading: "Ask Miss Xia to be the master for me." ”

"What do you say first, I can't be the master for you like this." When speaking, Xia Qingtong exerted force slightly.

Liu Mulan stood up and looked at Xia Qingtong, her emotions slowly calmed down.

Sitting back down, her hands wrung together, as if she hadn't figured out how to speak. She didn't say it, and Xia Qingtong didn't urge it. I sat for several minutes before I opened my mouth.

"Why are those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion chasing me today, it's not because I'm a slave of their family. It's because they want to catch me, kill me, kill my daddy. ”

Xia Qingtong: ......

"You speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Miss Xia, I'm actually desperate. I know that since my whereabouts have been discovered by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is only a matter of time before my father and I are caught by them. But I was not reconciled, I did not want to die like this. ”

This is said without beginning or end, even if Xia Qingtong understands it, he wants to know what the cause and effect are: "Tell me first, why did they kill you and kill your father?" ”

"Look at me, I'm so nervous. The speech is all upside down. Liu Mulan tugged at Xia Qingtong a little uncomfortably.

"Miss Xia, I'll start from the beginning. My name is Liu Mulan, and my father's name is Liu Heyuan. He's—"

"Ryu and Yuan?" Xia Qingtong's eyes widened, and he almost couldn't believe his ears: "Your father is Liu Heyuan?" Lucheng County Lingliu and Yuan? Is it? ”

Liu Mulan's face turned a little pale, and her lips trembled a little: "Miss Xia, you, how do you know?" ”

Xia Qingtong stood up and looked Liu Mulan up and down, with a surprise and surprise in his eyes.

What is it called? There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

She and Ming Yue looked around for Liu Heyuan, but who would have thought that Liu Heyuan would be Liu Mulan's father?

According to the time, their father and daughter should have arrived in the capital very early. Since then, it has been hidden.

Her reaction was too unusual, and Liu Mulan's expression suddenly became nervous again, and she was a little more guarded.

Xia Qingtong saw her face and calmed down for the first time: "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I was just too surprised and too surprised." ”

Liu Mulan: ......

"You don't know, we've been looking for your father for a long time."

Liu Mulan became more and more nervous because of Xia Qingtong's words.

Xia Qingtong thought of the key point in the shortest time.

"Let me think about it, you should know that something happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and you want to go and see and investigate the situation. But I didn't expect that you would be recognized by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion. They know that you are the daughter of Yoo and Moto, so they want to use you and find Yoo and Moto-ryu-sama. ”

If Liu Mulan was a little less lucky today, she didn't hit her carriage in a hurry and didn't meet her.

Then she must have been captured by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion now.

"Yes." Liu Mulan thought of the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and gritted her teeth a little: "I didn't expect that the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion would have the people who chased and killed us last time. He recognized me. Because there were too many people at that time, he was a guard, so it was inconvenient to do it. So he called the housekeeper to arrest me. ”

After all, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were focusing on the housekeeper's affairs at that time. There were many people around.

"I fled in a hurry, because there were so many people, but they gave me cover. Unexpectedly, they chased after them all the way. I managed to get rid of it a little. Unexpectedly, I hit your carriage Miss Xia. ”

Liu Mulan said this, and looked up at Xia Qingtong: "Miss Xia, can you tell me why you know about my father and why are you looking for us?" ”

Xia Qingtong looked at the remaining trace of vigilance in Liu Mulan's eyes, and sighed.

"I'm looking for you because your father has evidence that Zheng Xing, the Taishou of Lucheng, colluded with Yin Fu to open a salt mine privately. I'm not wrong, right? ”

Her words made Liu Mulan's eyes widen again, this is Liu Mulan's biggest secret. If it weren't for the account books in his father's hand, how could their family have been hunted down?

But Xia Qingtong actually knows everything?

"Miss Xia."

Liu Mulan's mood became more and more nervous. Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, if the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are in collusion -

She has now entered the Hou Mansion and can no longer get out.

Thinking of the possible results she had, Liu Mulan was half regretful and half afraid.

"Miss Liu, don't be nervous. I'm not in the same group as the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Xia Qingtong knew that she would not easily believe Liu Mulan when she said this. In desperation, she had to start from the beginning.

"A little over a month ago, my grandfather returned in triumph, and you should have heard my grandfather's name. It was from him that my father, the Marquis of Jianping, received his title. ”

Xia Jianchang, this name is in Dongzhao Kingdom, who doesn't know? Who doesn't know?

Liu Mulan nodded, her expression relaxed a little.

Xia Qingtong started from the palace banquet, talking about Ming Yue being framed, and then he went all the way to Lucheng in order to prove his innocence.

Including those chases, the fire at the post station after returning.

"That's the way it is." Xia Qingtong finished everything, looked at Liu Mulan, and looked a little emotional: "Because the evidence is insufficient." We can't take Taishi Yin at all, how about Prime Minister Yin. It was also for this reason that the Yin Mansion had time to prepare, and directly pushed out their housekeeper as a substitute for the dead ghost. ”

Liu Mulan knew what was going on behind the Yin Mansion, she would go to the Yin Mansion today, why didn't she want to go and see it because she heard someone on the road about Prime Minister Yin's righteous killing of relatives and the impartiality and selflessness.

"Why should I believe what you say?" But even so, Liu Mulan was unwilling to let down her guard easily: "In case your Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are together, then I-"

"Miss Liu." Xia Qingtong was upright, and a pair of clear eyes stared at her so straight: "My grandfather has been guarding the border for so many years to resist the invasion of the Beidi people. I think my grandfather's character should still be able to make you trust once. Are you right? ”

Liu Mulan half-bit her lip, already believing it in her heart. But—

"My father was not involved in the Lucheng affair, though. But he was in the know. Once we hand over the account books, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Master Yin and they won't let my father go. What's more—"

She looked at Xia Qingtong with a bitter expression: "I've been in the capital for so long, and I've heard a lot of things. The Yin family is extremely powerful. There are countless protégés. Although there is no direct evidence of this incident, His Majesty has gently revealed it. How can I trust you, after I give you the evidence, you can really let the Yin family receive the punishment they deserve? ”

"You don't have any other choice, do you?" Xia Qingtong's expression remained unchanged: "You can only trust me now." As long as your evidence is there, as long as the account book of Zheng Xing's secret collusion with the Yin family is there. Believe me, we will definitely make the Yin family pay. ”

Liu Mulan was silent. Xia Qingtong thought of the scene of Mingyue fishing in the lake air this morning.

"Miss Liu, can you take me to your father now?" Take a look at the latest chapter of "I Was an Internet Celebrity Paw Book House in Ancient Times" to read for free for the first time.
