On the second floor of the market teahouse, there is a private box without any windows, and only a few landscape paintings are hung on the surrounding walls.

There was only a round table for eating and a few round benches in the box, and Situ Rui, Situ Jing and Fang Yu sat around the round table.

There was a pot of tea on the round table, as well as three plates of pastries, Fang Yu got up to pour the tea, and placed the teacups in front of them.

Situ Rui said lightly: "I asked Shui Wuxian to follow Yanhou for a few days, and found that he was privately recruiting and training troops, and when the time is ripe, I will order troops to be annihilated."

Situ Jing bowed his hand and said, "The emperor gave an order, and Weichen sent troops to fight."

"The rebellion of the Marquis of Yan involved those old ministers in the court who had been in contact with the King of Ming, and the death of Princess Xiaolian of the Ming Dynasty, the Marquis of Yan pointed the murderous finger at what I did, which made them even more determined to change, and it was necessary to crusade against them, but the position of the royal brother was difficult."

Situ Jing was silent for a moment and said, "The emperor refers to Shui Ling'er's relationship?"

"Shui Ling'er's mother is the lord of Mingsheng, even if Yanhou is not her biological father, but she is also her stepfather, Brother Wang's father-in-law, Brother Wang sent troops to fight against Yanhou, and before he was praised for virtue, he would be scolded by those blind literati."

Situ Jing said respectfully: "If the emperor wants to assign other generals to send troops to fight, Weichen will not complain."

Situ Rui shook his head and said, "I don't worry about the others, I believe in Brother Wang, so you will definitely be assigned to send troops to fight, but you must be secretly annihilated, so as not to cause too much commotion."

"Yes."

"At this time, I am busy pulling out those old ministers who have been in contact with Yanhou one by one, and Brother Wang will enjoy the joy of the newlywed first, and when the time is right, I will give the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Situ Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know if the emperor knows that Shui Wuxian has a sister?"

"Sister?" Situ Rui thought for a moment and said, "I heard that his parents died, but I didn't know that he had a sister."

Situ Jing continued, "I have been in contact with his sister recently, but I don't know the authenticity of it, so I thought I would ask about it." He didn't say anything about Shui Ling'er being Shui Wuji's sister, but he was afraid that things would get more complicated.

"There's an auction tonight, so let's go together, and you can just ask him in person."

"Okay."

On a hill in the imperial capital, Shui Ling'er and Ziyi finally climbed to the top of the mountain and saw a small stream with many red fish swimming around.

Shui Ling'er said excitedly: "Purple clothes, it's a red fish, I'll catch one and return to Jingwangfu." She rolled up her pants and ran into the water.

Ziyi opened the burden she was carrying, and it was a pot with a lid, and she said, "Madam, you just catch the fish and put it here."

Shui Ling'er was worried about how to bring the red fish back to King Jing's Mansion, looked at the pot that Ziyi had brought over, and said, "Ziyi, you are really thoughtful."

Ziyi said lightly, "This is what Ziyi should do."

She looked up at the sky and saw that it was already dusk, and after Shui Ling'er put the red fish into the pot that had been filled with stream water, she said, "Madam, we have to go back to the Jingwang Mansion before dark, otherwise the prince will find that you are gone, and it will be miserable."

Shui Ling'er nodded understandingly, although Situ Jing was often angry with her, sometimes she couldn't resist it.

Shui Ling'er and Ziyi walked down the mountain, and in less than a moment, many men with big knives walked out from behind the trees on both sides, and the leader said, "Two young ladies, the red fish in your pot is the red fish raised by our boss, and I will send it to the auction tonight, and you will take one away, how should I explain?"

Seeing that the other party had a large number of people, it was not conducive to them, so she opened the lid of the pot and said, "Otherwise, this big brother, this red fish will be returned to you, and we won't want it."

Shui Ling'er knew that the situation was wrong, and said, "We didn't know that this red fish was raised by you, so please let us go regardless of the villain." After saying that, she pulled the purple clothes and ran away.

After running for a while, he was finally caught by a man who was chasing after him on horseback, and he sneered and said, "Look, you are in good shape, and you will definitely make a good price when you get it at auction."

They were covered with cloths, their bodies bound by ropes, and thrown into the carriage.

Shui Ling'er tried hard to break free from the rope, but the rope was tightly tied and she couldn't break free.

Ziyi shook her head and motioned for her to calm down, and now they could only wait and see what happened, looking for a chance to escape.

The auction of the Black Plum Gang was in a big mansion, and as soon as Situ Rui, Situ Jing and Fang Yu entered the mansion, the housekeeper recognized them and led them to see Shui Wuxi.

Shui Wuxian was counting the treasures to be auctioned in the backyard, and when he saw them coming, he walked up to them and saluted respectfully after giving the booklet in his hand to the servants on the side.

Situ Rui said, "Let's come to see tonight's auction."

"Yes." After Shui Wuxian finished speaking, he looked at Situ Jing next to Situ Rui, and said coldly, "Why is your princess not Shui Ling'er, but someone else?" On the day of marriage, he followed Yanhou to King Jing's mansion, and saw that it was another woman who was with Situ Jingbaitang.

At the beginning, he asked him not to bear Shui Ling'er, but he didn't expect to let her only be a concubine, how could he let his sister suffer such grievances.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Situ Rui stepped forward to ease his cheeks and said, "There is no trace of water, this matter is a long story, and Brother Wang has no choice but to do it." He didn't understand why Shui Wuxian was so angry for Shui Ling'er.

Fang Yu said respectfully, "Please rest assured, the Shui Wuxian Gang Master, the finger you sent is still with us, and it has not been sent."

"Fingers?" Situ Rui didn't understand what Fang Yu said, he looked at Fang Yu in confusion, and then looked at Shui Wuxian again.

Situ Jing slowly spoke, "Shui Ling'er is your sister?"

Shui Wuxian said firmly, "Yes."

Situ Rui and Fang Yu were stunned at the same time, and after a moment, Situ Rui spoke: "This is not right, Shui Ling'er is the daughter of the county lord of Mingsheng, and Shui Ling'er is your sister, but according to your age, the county lord of Mingsheng can't give birth to you."

"Shui Ling'er is the daughter of Lord Mingsheng, but she is also my biological sister."

Fang Yu was scribbled, and he said, "What the hell is going on?"

Shui Wuxian said coldly, "I'll take you to see someone."

Situ Rui, Situ Jing and Fang Yu followed Shui Wuxian behind, and after passing through a long corridor, they walked into a tunnel going down.

The further down it went, the colder it became, until I saw the cells and there were faint candles on both sides.

They followed Shui Wuxian to the bottom of the cell, only to see an unkempt woman cowering in the corner, trembling all over.

Shui Wuxian said coldly, "All things are caused by her."

Situ Jing looked at this woman who had become skinny and skinny, he didn't know what such a woman had done to make Shui Ling'er's life experience so tortuous, he said, "Who is she?"

Shui Wuxian said coldly, "She is a midwife." He looked at her with great disgust, and wanted to kill her, he said: "Eighteen years ago, our Shui family was hunted down and killed by the enemy, and my father and mother sent me to hide in the temple on the mountain, and they lured the enemy to escape, but my mother was pregnant at the time, and she was about to give birth in less than a month.

The midwife in the prison heard the sound of water without a trace, and crawled over tremblingly, constantly kowtowing and crying.

Shui Wuxian continued: "My mother gave birth to my sister smoothly, but my father and mother were penniless, and this midwife was so ruthless that she took my sister away and never returned. Half a year later, with the help of our friends, we destroyed the enemy's family, and my father sent someone to find out the wife, but my sister was no longer with her, she actually sold my sister to a chivalrous warrior who walked the rivers and lakes, and my mother was heartbroken and fell ill, and finally passed away, and my father left depressed and unhappy a month later, and their greatest wish was to find out their sister."

Situ Rui wondered, "Then how can you be sure that Shui Ling'er is the girl who was taken away?"

Shui Wuxian looked at the midwife in the prison coldly, and said, "She said that she sold it to a charlatan named Shui Miao. I founded the Black Plum Gang for more than ten years, wandering around, looking for him, but found nothing, until Yan Hou paid a lot of money to kill a nameless thief gang leader in the frontier, I was curious about Yan Hou's motives, so I personally took on this task, and when I saw Shui Ling'er, she looked like her mother was alive.

Later, I asked Fu Xi, and Fu Xi said that the former gang leader of the thief fairy gang was Shui Miao, when the female baby born to the county lord of Mingsheng died in less than an hour, Shui Miao Miao in order not to make the county lord of Mingsheng sad, so he bought the female baby from the midwife, and later the county lord of Mingsheng was arrested and returned to the palace, Shui Miao and Fu Xi took the girl to settle on the hill on the border."

Situ Rui, Situ Jing and Fang Yu all breathed a sigh of relief, and the haze of incest suddenly dissipated.

Shui Wuxian said angrily to Situ Jing, "Could it be that my sister's identity is not worthy of you, King Jing, so you accepted her as a concubine?"

Situ Rui hurriedly explained, "There are many things in this, so Shui Ling'er has to become a concubine."

Fang Yu opened his mouth to explain the reason, and after a while, Shui said without a trace: "In the middle of the night, I will go and kill this Beiyan princess named Rong Ye, and Shui Ling'er will be able to be the princess."

Situ Rui hurriedly spoke, "Don't kill her, she is Bingxue's sister, and her death will cause a war between Beiyan and Daliang."

Situ Jing said slowly: "One day, I will definitely take a break from Rong Ye and let Shui Ling'er become my princess."

Shui Wuxian stared at Situ Jing fiercely and said, "I hope you can do it."

Situ Jing said firmly, "Definitely."

After Shui Wuxian and his party walked out of the dungeon, they saw a mess not far away, and from time to time someone shouted, "Quickly get the auction slaves back!" As soon as the words fell, the sound of glass shattering came one after another.

They saw that the two women running at the front were Shui Ling'er and Ziyi, and they were each carrying a big burden behind them.

Ziyi said complainingly, "Madam, you can't escape with so many things."

Shui Ling'er said happily: "Big harvest, I didn't expect to be caught in the auction and be able to take so many treasures back, and I will be caught for a few rounds next time."

Ziyi said in surprise: "Don't do it, if the prince knows, the consequences are unimaginable."

Shui Ling'er said confidently, "What are you afraid of, I'm here."

Ziyi sighed, every time the prince is angry, the fastest one is Shui Ling'er.

Shui Ling'er climbed to the edge of the wall, she jumped several times, but because the burden was too heavy, she looked at the wall, frowned and said, "Ziyi, help me up."

At this time, Situ Jing's cold voice came from the side, and said, "Shui Ling'er, it's a bumper harvest."

Shui Ling'er smirked, "Of course." After speaking, she realized that something was wrong, and when she looked in the direction of the voice, it was Situ Jing looking at her with a gloomy face, and Ziyi didn't know when she knelt on the ground beside her.

Shui Ling'er sneered, "Brother Jing, what a coincidence, how did I meet you here."

She took a few steps back and wanted to run away, when the butler ran over and said to Shui Wuxian who was standing not far behind Situ Jing, "Helper, these two slaves took advantage of our inattention to escape, and also stole a lot of our things to be auctioned, and more than half of the porcelain was smashed by them."

Shui Ling'er opened her mouth to explain, "How could we smash it, we accidentally bumped into it." In the process of escaping, there are always some surprises.

Shui Wuxian quickly looked at all the people around him, as well as the miserable situation of the place where the auctioned treasures were stacked not far away, and said coldly, "Who brought them to this auction?"

The housekeeper said, "It's Li Daxia, who usually sends red fish to auction."

Shui Wuxian walked towards the main hall and said, "Bring Li Daxia to see me."

The housekeeper glanced at Shui Ling'er and Ziyi, and said, "Helper, do you want to tie up these two slaves?" After all, they have caused a big disaster, and it seems that today's auction will not be able to be opened.

"Not necessarily." Shui Wuxian said to Situ Rui and his party: "You guys should also get up."

Situ Rui looked at Situ Jing and chuckled, and followed behind Shui Wuxi.

Shui Ling'er quietly leaned towards Situ Jing, and said in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Brother Jing, this is none of my business, can I go first?"
