Li Yuejiao met Yanmo's frightened gaze, made up her mind, and made a decision.

She stood up and walked towards Yan Mo.

Yan Mo hugged Su Fang tighter and wanted to hide back, but he had no legs and nowhere to retreat.

And Yun Tuan was only afraid that they would hurt Li Yuejiao, so he took two steps forward and cautiously called, "Miss......"

Li Yuejiao motioned to Yun Tuan not to make a sound, but walked in front of Yan Mo, sat on the cold ground, pulled a hairpin off her head, and handed it to Yan Mo:

"Take this, so can you trust that I won't hurt you?"

"Madame!" Even Chen Sanniang felt that this move was dangerous, and called out, wanting to stop it.

Yanmo looked at the hairpin in Li Yuejiao's hand vigilantly, and looked up at her gaze again, wanting to reach out to take the hairpin several times, but he didn't dare to really take it.

And Li Yuejiao didn't move, just looked directly into Yanmo's eyes calmly and gently, without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, but Yan Mo, who was still holding the unconscious Su Fang, finally spoke:

"Miss...... Can Miss really avenge us?"

Li Yuejiao withdrew the hand that handed the hairpin, still sitting on the cold brick floor, and did not answer him immediately, but said, "I can't be sure, I'm just here to ask you a few questions, but I will definitely keep you safe."

She said, looking at Yan Mo sincerely, "You have taken such a great risk to stay in the suburbs of Beijing; Now I followed Sanniang to Northern Xinjiang, isn't it also to be able to tell the truth?"

Yan Mo swallowed his saliva and was silent for a long time before he said slowly:

"The Pioneer...... He's a nice guy, little one...... He shouldn't have died like that, the little one is not worth it for the world......

Li Yuejiao nodded: "I have heard a lot of things about the first sons and eldest princes, and everyone says that they are very good."

Yan Mo shook his head bitterly: "Not only that, but the first prince is also very good to us slaves, if something happens to the small family, the old marquis doesn't care, it is the prince who helps the little ones...... And so many, many, many, young lady, the son of the world is a very good man, he should not die in such calculations, die, die in ......."

He said upside down, and finally made up his mind and spit out the secret that had been hidden in his heart for seven years:

"Death at the hands of Master Hou!"

After saying this, Yan Mo's throat let out an ugly roar, and he actually let go of Su Fang, flew over, and grabbed Li Yuejiao's wrist.

Chen Sanniang almost thought that he was going to hurt Li Yuejiao and was about to stop him immediately, but Yan Mo had already shouted eagerly:

"Miss, it was the Hou Ye who killed the first prince, the prince knew about it, the prince knew about the plan of the old Hou Ye and that Mr. Lu, the prince went to ask the Hou Ye, the prince was going to stop the Hou Ye, he wanted to catch them, and the result was ...... Outcome...... Su Fang heard it, Su Fang heard the quarrel between the prince and the Hou Ye......

Li Yuejiao's wrist was grabbed by him, but he held back, calmed his emotions and said, "I know, you, calm down and talk slowly......

But Yan Mo, who finally said what was in his heart, seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, grabbed her hand and refused to let go, only said tremblingly:

"I overheard that they were going to kill her, so I stole the antidote and poured it on her, and I got her back at the mass grave. Later, I pretended to be sick and got the silver and left the Hou Mansion, but, but the Hou Ye found out, he was going to kill me, I fell off the cliff, and fortunately I was saved by the old man...... Miss, Miss, I'll tell you everything you need to know, I'll tell you, you can kill me, but let Su Fang go, she's already crazy and can't remember anything......

Li Yuejiao wanted to break free from his hand, but failed, and then listened to his sometimes coherent and sometimes incoherent words, she only felt very scared in her heart.

The clouds behind him felt even more heard, and the story, which was even more unreasonable than before, had stayed in place and would not move.

"I won't kill you, but I have something to ask you, you, you let go first." Li Yuejiao said softly, because her wrist hurt too much, there were tears in her eyes.

Yan Mo looked at her in a daze: "Miss, you, you really don't

Will it kill us?"

"No, it won't." Li Yuejiao nodded.

Yan Mo slowly let go of his hand.

Li Yuejiao gently rubbed her wrist, her mind was in chaos, and finally asked:

"But Yanmo, how can I believe your words? Is there any evidence?"

Yan Mo shrank beside Su Fang and shook his head:

"No, miss, it's a blessing that she and I survived, so where is the evidence?"

Li Yuejiao was silent again, memorized the content of a letter copied by Chen Sanniang, and asked, "Su Fang said such things to you?"

Yan Mo shook his head again blankly, "No."

"These are the letters that Su Fang wrote to a master named Yamanodo, and she didn't tell you?"

Yan Mo continued to shake his head: "Miss, Su Fang is illiterate."

Li Yuejiao was stunned: "What?"

"It's because Su Fang is illiterate, so the old marquis will let her go to the study to serve." Yan Mo explained in a whisper.

Li Yuejiao suddenly realized.

I see, this is the old marquis's plan - to use the name of the maid around him when he was at home to communicate with the enemy country, so that even if someone stops the letter, he will not be able to find him for a while.

And even if he is found, as long as he pushes Su Fang and disposes of the person, the old marquis will only be accused of not governing the family strictly.

After all, who can believe that a Hou Ye who is not very reliable in his actions will actually communicate with foreign countries?

Li Yuejiao only felt a chill down her spine.

He killed his own son and his own grandson, but he could still hide behind and let people use these things to harm his second grandson.

But why?

The first son, that is, Xue Zhen's father, is the hope of Anyang Hou's comeback; And Xue Zhen is now the only bloodline of the Xue family, why did he do things like this?

Li Yuejiao was stunned for a long time, and even flashed a thought-could they be found by Chen Sanniang and deceived her?

She looked at Yan Mo again and asked, "Then you guys, it's so easy to survive, why don't you hide, but settle down in the suburbs of Beijing?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Hou Ye?"

Yan Mo was silent for a moment before he said:

"Miss, the pair of old men who saved us, their children also died in the explosion, they saved us when they came to the capital to look for their son...... We were saved by them, we knew about them, we, we didn't dare tell them the truth...... They were very nice to us, that's why we felt more ...... I was not reconciled, so I wanted to stay in the capital and wait for an opportunity......

"Then why do you believe in Chen Sanniang? Will you follow her?"

Li Yuejiao heard a noise outside, and finally asked him.

Chen Sanniang understood why she asked, but she was not angry.

「…… Because...... Mrs. Chen broke our identities, but she didn't kill us......" Yanmo said in a low voice, "I think, I think...... Maybe that's the opportunity I wanted to wait."

Li Yuejiao fell silent again, did not speak again, but stood up.

Her legs were numb, and she stumbled a little, but fortunately, Chen Sanniang and Yun Tuan came to help her.

Li Yuejiao asked Chen Sanniang to stay with them, pushed open the door of the house, and walked out.

Outside the door, it was Xue Zhen, whose face was pale and trembling slightly, who was looking at her in a daze.

The two men were relatively silent.

After a long time, Li Yuejiao opened her mouth and asked Xue Zhen, "Did the prince hear it?" Now, do you want to kill them?"

Xue Zhen looked at Li Yuejiao's eyes, his face was tense, his eyes were red, and his lips trembled slightly.

After a long time, he came up and put the letter sent by Tao Shu in Li Yuejiao's hand.

Then he stepped into the house.

Li Yuejiao didn't read the letter, but stopped his way for the second time and asked again:

"Shizi, will you kill them?"

Xue Zhen stopped.

「…… It won't ......" before he muttered, his voice full of absoluteness

"No, I just want to know the truth."

Li Yuejiao didn't stop him again.

Xue Zhen passed by her, walked into the house, and closed the door.

Her small courtyard was empty, and apparently everyone else had been sent away by Xue Zhen.

Li Yuejiao staggered to the steps outside the house, couldn't walk anymore, and sat down.

Yun Tuan wanted to help her up and persuade her, but Li Yuejiao didn't move, but opened the letter in her hand and read it carefully twice.

It's the mother's handwriting.

Even if she had just listened to Yan Mo's words, the content of this letter was enough to make Li Yuejiao believe that her mother did have a great friendship with the master of the mountain and wild hall.

The winter night in the north was very cold, and Li Yuejiao sat in such a cold wind for a long time, and finally tears rained down.

*

Li Yuejiao didn't know how long she cried, but it should have been a long, long time, during which the clouds came in and out, giving her a hand stove, putting a cloak on her, serving her tea, and setting a charcoal basin for her.

Inside the house. There was also a faint sound of Su Fang's sudden exclamation and crying.

Then it was quiet again.

But Li Yuejiao didn't know anything, she was just very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

Even when her father lost the capital before, she never cried so aggrievedly.

But it's not like catharsis, the more I cry, the heavier my heart becomes.

When things developed to this day, even she began to doubt her mother?

It was the old marquis who was in a foreign country, but the old marquis and his mother got acquainted far before she knew that she knew about the marriage contract.

And Shanyetang and the old marquis, and his mother, obviously have a lot to do with each other.

Will they be in a group?

Li Yuejiao didn't know, couldn't figure it out, and didn't want to believe it.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the house opened behind her, and the room came out with heavy footsteps, and it was Su Fang's low sob.

The door closed again, cutting out the crying behind it.

In the courtyard, once again, only Li Yuejiao's sobs remained.

Xue Zhen sat next to Li Yuejiao and said softly, "It's too cold on the ground, Miss Li should get up."

Li Yuejiao raised her head with tears in her eyes, turned her face sideways to look at him, and choked up:

"Shizi, did you ask the truth you want?"

Xue Zhen nodded, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "I actually think it's like a joke."

As he spoke, looking into her eyes, he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for all the things I've been doing in the past three years."

This apology, heartfelt words, but to no avail.

In the past three years, all kinds of humiliation and sadness, how can it be smoothed out with a single word of shame?
