When the two of them hurried to the gate of the Fang Mansion, there was only a touch of smoke purple left in the dusk sky. Liu Zhuxue remembered Gu Changming's words, waited for Dai Guozi to park the carriage, and the two walked up the steps one after the other.
This time, the gatekeeper recognized Liu Zhuxue, and did not stop or return to her, but directly opened the courtyard door to let her in, saying that her son-in-law had been out for a while and had never come back. Before going out, I repeatedly explained that if Miss Liu comes, please go to the study and sit.
"When did he go, and did he have any other messages to explain back?" Liu Zhuxue calculated that the time for meeting had passed, and Fang Yuanyuan's words showed that he was going to the Criminal Division at that time, and he knew that there was some trouble, but he still went without hesitation.
It seems that she is going to owe a lot of personal debts, and she doesn't know when she will be able to repay it clearly in this life.
"I owe these favors, and I will pay them back in the future, so you don't have to worry." Although Dai Guozi always followed behind her, he could probably guess her thoughts without looking at the expression on her face. Although he wanted Fang Yuan to help him with this, he didn't want Xiaozhu to be grateful to him for this, and he owed a lot.
This is his business, and it is up to him to deal with the good and the bad.
Liu Zhuxue did not refuse, since Guozi would say such a thing, it showed that he didn't want to tear the two apart alive. What three or five years will see each other day when we meet. If there is no chance of reunion after being separated in this life, will he still insist on this?
"You can stay with me and see if I'm doing my best to pay my debts." Dai Guozi couldn't understand the words anymore.
"If you don't do your best, I'll whip you with a horsewhip." Liu Zhuxue replied quickly and quietly, although she was already in the study, she was still worried that someone would suddenly break in and see through the relationship between the two of them.
"Don't be so ruthless, at most two lessons. You learn from Gu Changming's way of teaching people, without a dirty word, you still can't raise your head to scold people, these are the real skills. Dai Guozi deliberately turned the topic to a lighter source, and even took the initiative to give Liu Zhuxue some hope.
"It's okay, I'll ask Brother Gu to write me a handwritten booklet on how to cure you well, he even knows the wicked people who do bad things, and he must know more and more about you, the person who has been by his side for many days." Liu Zhuxue saw someone coming over with tea, so she quickly closed her mouth and said not a word.
Dai Guozi stood straight behind her like a sword out of the sheath, and his mouth was not idle at all: "Where do you need to copy the book by hand, you glared at me with a look, I immediately obeyed, let me face east I definitely don't dare to face west." β
Liu Zhuxue hurriedly picked up the teacup and hid the smile on the corner of her mouth, the fruit is able to speak, and every sentence she says can throw the unhappy out of the clouds.
"Miss Liu, my son-in-law is back, he said to change his clothes and come over soon." Someone came in and replied, "He said please Miss Liu wait." β
"Is your son-in-law okay?" Liu Zhu Xuexin said that Fang Yuan had to change her clothes when she entered the door, and she didn't pay so much attention to it.
"It's okay, I just look a little tired, and there are some blood stains on my clothes, so I'm afraid of scaring Miss Liu, so I decided to change my body first and come back." After saying these words, the servant bowed and withdrew.
"Xiaozhu, where are you going?" Dai Guozi saw her stand up and hurriedly asked.
"Said that there were blood stains on the shirt that Fang Yuan was wearing, I was afraid that he was injured, so I can rest assured if I go over and take a look." Liu Zhuxue walked quickly to the door of the study, and the door was hidden. As she raised her hand to push the door, someone outside tried to push the door backwards.
Obviously, the strength of the person outside was far inferior to her, Liu Zhuxue worked slightly, and even pushed the door and people to the open wide. Standing outside was Fang Yuanyuan, his face was pale, and he looked much haggard than he looked yesterday.
"Why are you changing your clothes so quickly? Say you're bloody, do you have any injuries? Liu Zhuxue took a step back, saw that Fang Yuanyuan's eyes were cloudy, and looked straight over, as if she wanted to see through her heart. She was not afraid at all, and met her eyes.
"I'm not hurt, it's just that the place of the Criminal Division was originally a place I didn't like. I accidentally rubbed the blood stains, so I quickly changed the dirty clothes when I came back, which made you worried. Fang Yuan lowered his head and muttered, and suddenly saw a man following behind Liu Zhuxue, and was so frightened that he almost stammered, "This, who is this, how can he be here!" β
"Gu Gongzi is not worried about Miss Liu, let me accompany you." Dai Guozi spoke before Liu Zhuxue, so as not to embarrass her.
The corners of Liu Zhuxue's eyebrows moved, a little surprised. is so cooperative today, so what kind of thing is it that you were jealous yesterday?
Fang Yuan was obviously a little absent-minded, and suddenly believed it: "Zhu Xue came out alone, although she was martial arts, it was good to have someone to accompany her." Now that she's here, there's no danger, just go outside and wait. β
Dai Guozi grinned, did not resist, said a good word, turned around and went out, and deliberately closed the door of the study.
Liu Zhuxue couldn't laugh or cry, he was so obedient, he was a little unaccustomed to it. But if there is a disturbance now, it is indeed a big mistake. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the lantern of Fangfu had been hung, and a faint figure was shining in front of the window, looking at the shadow of the fruit, her eyebrows and eyes became gentle.
When he turned his head again, he looked at Fang Yuandu more and more pleasing to the eye, and Fang Yuan was a little flattered at that glance: "Although I said so, I promised you to go to the Criminal Division, and I will definitely not break my word." The person you want to inquire about was indeed escorted in the middle of the night last night. Just ......"
Liu Zhuxue looked at him levelly, quietly waiting for him to continue.
"It's just that don't be sad, this person definitely can't be saved, it is said that he committed a serious crime, and Lord Wu Wei personally interrogated him, and others can't see it if they want to. I also went in and walked through several layers of relationships, and I never saw myself. Fang Yuan patiently explained to her, "I don't know if you have heard of Lord Wu's name, Gu Changming should know that it is the one who took over Lord Gu Wuduo's official position." Master Gu is the living king of Hades, and this one is probably a ghost. β
Speaking of this, Fang Yuanyuan's brows furrowed, as if he thought of the scene of forced confession that he had unintentionally broken. There was a lot of blood in the criminal department, and he had heard that the officials who came out of it were walking around the streets, and even wild dogs avoided them. Compared with it, Guozijian is really a quiet and peaceful place, and he will cherish it in the future.
"What are you guilty of?" Liu Zhuxue was a little surprised, thinking that Fang Yuan had probably run away in vain, but she didn't expect to ask some details, "If it's a capital crime, then is there any hope to go in and see the last face." β
"I said what kind of kindness did you inherit from this man, to be so stubborn. Do you know that if it weren't for the fact that I was the supervisor of the country, I would have been honest and honest, and it would have been a crime to inquire about these today. You may not be able to see me come back safely! Fang Yuan was confused by Liu Zhuxue's gentleness just now, and quickly reacted, she didn't have this intention at all, she just wanted to ask the one who was detained by the Criminal Division.
If he didn't know that Sun Youxiang was older than Liu Zhiyuan, Fang Yuan would have wondered what kind of mentality Liu Zhuxue was holding and spent his last connections to inquire about this person.
Of course, Liu Zhuxue heard Fang Yuan's anger, and she didn't dare to refute. Originally, Fang Yuan had a deep meaning for her, but she didn't break it, but used the other party, and she already had a loss to her.
Fang Yuanyuan's words were exactly what Gu Changming guessed, and the Criminal Investigation Department was very vigilant that someone would come to inquire. Fang Yuan was able to retreat with his whole body, which was already very rare. Although she was anxious for Sun Youxiang, she would never let Fang Yuan get into danger again.
"I'm grateful that you're willing to inquire for me. You ask me what kind of kindness I have inherited, and if I say life-saving grace, do you believe it? Liu Zhuxue's eyes were full of waves, three points true and seven points false, and he said that he had experienced it and the part where the little phoenix was injured and lived in the county government of Quyang County to recuperate.
Fang Yuan didn't interject, Liu Zhuxue's eyes were red at the end, and she choked up several times and couldn't continue: "My father has passed away, and I can't fulfill my filial piety as a woman." I originally wanted to find another opportunity to repay my benefactor, but who knew that my benefactor's life and death were unknown. β
"Don't be stupid, most likely he knew that you were Liu Shaoyin's daughter when he saved you. Do you know what crime he committed, disobeying the emperor, trying to form a party for personal gain, and punishing several crimes, I can't tell you for a while. Fang Yuan was bent on waking up the person in his dream, and slapped the corner of the desk twice, "Maybe I wanted to win over Liu Shaoyin through you at that time." I never thought that Liu Shaoyin passed away too suddenly, leaving your brother and becoming a foreign official, and you are powerless to help alone. So, did he contact you later? β
If Liu Zhuxue hadn't been backward in her family and had always followed Gu Changming's side, she would probably have been moved by Fang Yuanyuan's words. In the end, he is the person of the Guozijian, with a lotus flower in his mouth, and every sentence is reasonable.
She shook her head and said, "I haven't contacted him again, he is low-key, and he definitely doesn't want me to think about repaying him because of this." β
"Stubborn, stubborn!" Fang Yuan was so angry that he stood up directly and drove people away, "I gave up half my life to help you inquire about this, if you have experienced the past and put yourself in for a person with ill intentions, I can only say that it is extremely stupid." β
"Listen to me......" Liu Zhuxue grabbed the door frame with one hand, struggling to ask again.
Fang Yuanyuan's anger came up, and he directly pushed the door of the study open, pushing the person out: "I don't want to listen to you, I make it clear in one sentence." This man approached you on purpose, and that was the end of the matter. Think about your brother, it's hard to earn some face for the Liu family, and you want to impulsively let him follow you into ruin? β
Liu Zhuxue exited the threshold with one foot, and the other foot was still inside. To be naΓ―ve, Fang Yuan is even more innocent than her. If her brother is decent, why should she stay at the Gu family. At this time, she kept saying that she was a brother, and that was a stranger to her, but she just happened to have the same surname.
Although she thought so in her heart, Liu Zhuxue only had anxiety on her face: "I haven't finished my words, how can I say that I will drive people out of the eviction order." β
"I'm doing it for your own good." Fang Yuan was so angry that his cheeks puffed up, and when he saw Dai Guozi standing there, he heard the movement and looked over here, "You were sent by Gu Changming to keep an eye on her, right!" I kind of know why I'm staring, because I'm afraid she'll talk and run away. Hurry up and bring someone back home, just say that I confessed, she is not allowed to go out, and it is best to keep her locked up until that Sun Youxiang is executed. β
When Dai Guozi heard the word execution, his eyes turned red. Fang Yuan didn't see anything, pulled Liu Zhuxue forward, and pushed Dai Guozi again: "Don't make me angry here, you go, you all go, come and talk to me again if you figure it out." β
