Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 5 Identity
"Master Zhao, you are such a powerful official!" Zhu Youhan said with a face.

Zhao Fu Yin also had a look on his face, and his heart skipped a beat. It's over, he was too anxious to be greedy for merit, and almost caused trouble. Zhu You was the second son of the Duke's mansion. Now that the eldest son is dead, it is only a matter of time before he succeeds to the position of Duke. What's more, he is still a criminal officer in Gyeonggi Province, and the most important thing is that his mother is the late emperor's niece and the current emperor's cousin: Princess Qingyang!

"Oh, look at my brain, seeing the cruel methods of these thieves, I was so annoyed that I almost stepped in to do it for me. Please don't blame me, my lord. Then what, the next official suddenly remembered that there was still soup at home, so I didn't want to bother you any more. Farewell!"

Ye Ke watched the people of Jingzhao Yin's mansion fleeing out of the courtyard, and felt amused in his heart. He didn't know what these people were doing here, they didn't get any benefits, and they offended them.

"My lord, Xiaomei was wronged!" Xiaomei was still trembling, crying out for herself.

Zhu Guizhi and Chen Yan were already furious, pointing at Xiaomei who was kneeling on the ground and yelling, "What a cowardly slave, you dare to complain about murdering your master, today you must be killed!"

Chen Liren, who was holding a folding fan, watched the show with a cold face, while Zhu Qiao's eyes flashed a strange color, and the old lady Qin was furious and wanted to enforce the family law.

"Ayou, you brought him back to the mansion. Now your elder brother died tragically. As a criminal officer, you have to seek justice for your elder brother both in public and in private!" The old lady Qin was heartbroken. Said.

Zhu You frowned, glanced at Xiaomei, and said to Mrs. Qin, "Don't worry, grandma, I will find out the truth! Someone, bring her back to the criminal justice department, so she can be detained!"

Hearing this, the eyes of Xiaomei, who was kneeling on the ground, were already filled with ashes, tears were streaming down, her body was seven points weak, hopeless, for a servant girl like her, going to jail, and With such unfavorable evidence, life and death are no longer in her hands.

The messenger from the Department of Prisons dragged Xiaomei away, leaving only the people in the Duke's Mansion silent, either sad or sighing.

Ye Ke was thinking, what should I do with breakfast today?

Zhu You glanced at everyone and said, "I'm going back to the Criminal Division to interrogate the prisoner. I'm going to deal with official business, so I'll go first!"

After walking a few steps, Zhu You caught a glimpse of Ye Ke who was in a daze, and suddenly turned to look at the crowd and said, "There is something I need to remind you all."

Everyone looked at Zhu You in puzzlement.

"Death marriages have always been strictly prohibited by His Majesty. Grandma, although you are in charge of this matter, although our government has a high status, it is also an act of disobedience. Therefore, the identity of sister-in-law must not be publicized. It’s fine to go out and stay in the mansion, if it spreads to the ears of those who are interested, reports it to His Majesty, and makes a big fuss, the Duke’s mansion may not be peaceful, what do you think?”

Mrs. Qin is not an idiot either, she glanced at Ye Ke, nodded and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will make arrangements for it, in the future, Ye Ke will settle in the yard at Xitou, although It’s a little clean, but how about it?”

Ye Ke can't tell, isn't this just finding a cool place to stay?She was most annoyed by the intrigues of these high schools and deep courts, and she couldn't wait for her wish, so she quickly agreed.

"Well, to the outside world, just say that my sister-in-law is my new assistant, and this identity is more appropriate!" Zhu You directly arranged for Ye Ke to be clear.

After finishing speaking, Zhu You said to Ye Ke, "Let's go!"

"Ah?" Ye Ke's mind froze, and he immediately understood that Zhu You saw that she was uncomfortable here, and wanted to save himself, so he quickly responded and wanted to follow Zhu You out.

"Wait, where are you taking her? She's your sister-in-law!" Chen Yan's brain twitched and he asked.

Zhu Youxing narrowed his eyes slightly, and Chen Yan was shocked.

"My subordinate, of course, will follow me to handle the case. What's wrong? Uncle, what's wrong?"

"No problem."

Inside the bumpy carriage, Ye Ke sat with his knees bent in front of the window, leaning his head lightly on the carriage and looking at Zhu You, who was closing his eyes and meditating. He was a little curious. This person seemed to have two faces. It's really interesting to be punished in a cold face without anyone caring for a while.

As if feeling something in his heart, Zhu You opened his eyes, and Ye Ke quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at him.

"For the safety of the Duke's Mansion, Ayou arranged for his sister-in-law a lowly job status without authorization. I have wronged you, and I ask my sister-in-law not to take offense! Outside, I have to trouble my sister-in-law to call me your lord."

There was a little tiredness in his voice at the moment, but it was extremely warm. Ye Ke heard the indescribable benefit, and hurriedly said: "No, besides, the status of a job is not lowly. In this world, there is no high or low occupation. It's just different."

Zhu You was stunned for a moment, Ye Ke's remarks touched his blind spot of knowledge, etiquette, law, Confucianism, all of which reminded the difference between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and classes.

"Xiaomei, she was wronged!" Ye Ke looked into Zhu You's eyes and said, "Did you bring her back to the Criminal Division on purpose?"

"Oh? Why?" Zhu You's eyes flashed a cunning.

Ye Ke looked at Zhu You's eyes clearly, but didn't expose it, he just said: "First, there is something wrong with Xiaomei's motives, according to what you said, the young master didn't beat and scold her severely, even if she suffered a lot The grievances, but not to the point of murder, although this explanation is a bit reluctant."

"The second point, and the most important point, is her technique!"

Ye Ke did not continue to explain, but suddenly asked Zhu You: "When did you bring Xiaomei into the mansion? What is her original identity? What do her parents do?"

Zhu You said without hesitation: "When I was eight years old, I went out with my father and met in a village. At that time, their village was attacked by bandits, and there were only two little girls left in the whole village. One of them was Xiaomei, her parents are both peasants, after verification by the government, they are both from clean and good families, is there any doubt about this?"

Ye Ke heard the words, nodded and said: "Yes! This is the problem. She grew up in the Duke's Mansion, so where did she know her shrewd criminal methods? I can guarantee that the whole Daxuan, few people can tell, how could she, a servant girl, know?"

"Sister-in-law is really amazing. In fact, I don't believe that Xiaomei would do such a thing. She almost grew up with me. I know her temper very well. She is gentle and pleasant. She never cares about others or makes grudges. Among the maids, she has never had any conflicts with anyone." Zhu You said with a somewhat unsightly expression.

The man was brought back by him, and now that something like this happened, it was like someone had brought disaster to him. Zhu You didn't know what was going on in his heart, and his face was a little colder than the white frost outside.

Looking at the bleak winter scenery outside the window, Ye Ke murmured: "Then, who is going to frame her? Why is it her?"
