King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 22

"Not only that, I also know your parents!"

Hearing this, Yinglian was stunned. For a while, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"You...know?" For the first time, Yinglian looked directly at Zhu Jinghong.

Nodding his head, Zhu Jinghong replied slowly, "That's right!"

In an instant, Yinglian's eyes were filled with tears, and she fell directly in front of Zhu Jinghong.

"I beg you to tell Lan'er that Lan'er will never forget your great kindness!"

She was abducted since she was a child, and failed to marry her parents. During this period, she was beaten and scolded countless times, and Yinglian's life was gloomy.

Only when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, could she return to her parents' embrace, and find such a sliver of comfort to support her to live.

But the faces of her parents are gradually blurred, she can't remember the last time she had a dream, and now that she has heard from her parents, how can Yinglian not lose her composure.

Looking at the girl kneeling in front of him, Zhu Jinghong stretched out his hand to help her up, and said slowly, "Your surname is Zhen, and your name is Yinglian!"

"Your father's name is Zhen Shiyin, your mother..."

Well, in the TV series, Feng's presence is very low, and Zhu Jinghong can't call out his name.

"Zhen Yinglian..."

Slowly reading the name, Yinglian closed her eyes slightly, and searched out her already blurred memory.

She seemed to remember something, but in the end it was nothing.

"Master, do you know my parents?"

"I know, but only a little bit!" Zhu Jinghong replied calmly.

Biting her lower lip, Yinglian kowtowed and said, "I beg my lord to...bring a letter to my parents for Yinglian, telling them that my daughter is still alive!"

Yinglian was already very satisfied to be able to bring a letter to her family, she did not dare to expect Zhu Jinghong to send her home.

Now that they have met, Zhu Jinghong certainly did not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Everyone has the love of beauty, but it must be acquired in a proper way...Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

"Get up, I will send someone to look for it, but there may not be any results!"

In fact, the most likely channel to find Zhen's family is through Jia Yucun and Wang Cheng, and Zhu Jinghong has already prepared the plan in his heart.

"Thank you son!" Yinglian stood up slowly.

Signaling Yinglian not to be too polite, Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile: "The Xue and Feng families bought you, what's going on, tell me!"

He called Yinglian over just to pass the time, so he naturally wanted to say something now.

Ever since, Yinglian introduced what she knew all at once.

Things were similar to those in the play, and thanks to Zhu Jinghong's timely appearance, otherwise Feng Yuan would have been beaten to death on the spot.

"If you had to choose, would you go to Xue's house or Feng's house?"

"My lord is joking, how can a servant have the qualifications to choose!"

Just after replying, Zhu Jinghong asked again: "Then do you want to stay here with me, or do you want to go to Feng's and Xue's?"

This was also a random question, but Ying Lian was shocked, she knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, this servant has no second thoughts, please don't drive me away, lord!"

Seeing her lack of security, Zhu Jinghong finally understood why Yinglian was so afraid of herself.

"Okay, no one is driving you away, get up!"

As a last resort, Zhu Jinghong personally helped her up again, surprising the group of eunuchs who were staring at her from a distance.

Is this still the thirteenth master who beats people up and down?
Next, Zhu Jinghong took Yinglian and walked in the garden to chat.

Talking a lot, coupled with Zhu Jinghong's concern and inquiries from time to time, finally let Yinglian let go of her guard, knowing that this master is easy-going to get along with.

"Speaking of which, you are miserable, but when it comes to being beaten...you may not be as many as me!"

"Oh? Who dares to hit the young master?" Yinglian couldn't believe it.

Zhu Jinghong was born in a very rich and noble family, who would dare to beat him?Who can beat him again?

"Of course I did. In the past ten years or so, I have been beaten a lot!"

Thinking of the emperor's face, Zhu Jinghong's heart tightened, how could it be the suppression that melted into the blood.

Yinglian is very clear about what fear and worry look like, and she has seen it on many people's faces over the years.

Therefore, she was sure that she saw it, and Zhu Jingyuan showed a look of fear.

Thinking back to the scene of Zhu Jinghong beating someone a few days ago, it was really difficult for Yinglian to connect with the person in front of her. It turned out that this fierce young man would also be afraid.

"Forget it, let's talk about something else..."

Looking back on the face of the old man in the palace, Zhu Jinghong was asking for trouble, so he chose to change the subject.

At the moment, at the gate of the garden, Lu Yuxin appeared out of breath.

"Where is Lord Thirteen?"

Deng An said with a smile: "Hey, Master Lu is back, Master Thirteen is visiting the garden, why don't you wait?"

"Eunuch Deng, the Thirteenth Master sent me to inquire about the news, you should report it immediately!"

"This... Master Lu, it's not that we don't help, it's just that it's inconvenient for us to go there!"

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yuxin was puzzled.

"Master Thirteen is in there with the little girl, how dare we disturb him?"

"Eunuch Deng, don't worry, Lord Thirteen is very concerned about this matter, I will take care of it if something happens!" Lu Yuxin said, patting his chest.

Now that the words have come to this point, Deng An didn't insist any more, turned around and went into the garden to report.

After a while, Zhu Jinghong appeared with Yinglian.

"Master Thirteen, the situation has changed..."

Lu Yuxin was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Jinghong's gesture.

"Yu Hai..."

"The slave is here!"

"You take Miss Zhen back first, so you can settle down!"

"Yes!"

After Yinglian left, Zhu Jinghong let Lu Yuxin continue.

"Master Thirteen, I just went to the government office to inquire, and Xue Pan was released the same day, leaving only Feng Yuan locked up in the prison!"

"According to the yamen servant, that kid from the Feng family is being held in prison and tortured every day. I'm afraid he will be convicted of all the crimes!"

"Jia Yucun responded to the sky?"

"I returned two days ago!"

"He didn't ask about it?"

"This... I don't know!"

Turning around, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "There is a lot of snow in a good year, it really is a big snow!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was angry, Lu Yuxin tentatively asked, "Master Thirteen, do you want to send an order to Ying Tianfu to retry the case!"

"Retrial? How to retrial?"

Rolling up his sleeves, Zhu Jinghong said in a low voice, "Since the Xue family is so powerful, how can I not go see it!"

"Call the guards and follow me out of the palace!"

He wanted to go out of the palace again, Lu Yuxin felt embarrassed when he heard this, but the crown prince strictly forbade Zhu Jinghong to go out.

"Hurry up and send a message, I will explain to the fourth brother, what are you worrying about!"

Lu Yuxin glanced at Deng An next to him, only to see that this guy hooked his head like an ostrich, and the bluff just now disappeared without a trace.

"Prepare the horses quickly and call more people!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinghong walked out of the garden, leaving Lu Yuxin on the spot complaining endlessly.

After leaving the garden, Zhu Jinghong went straight to the bedroom, and today he wants to go out in a fair manner.

After all, Zhu Jingyuan had promised him before that he didn't need to sneak around if he wanted to go out, as long as he brought more guards with him.

There are so many reports every day, Zhu Jingyuan's desk will send new ones at any time, so he basically has no free time.

Of course, in the past two days, prefectures and counties have reported the progress of the investigation one after another. Overall, there is still some progress, so Zhu Jingyuan is in a good mood.

So when Zhu Jinghong proposed that he would take the guards out for a walk, he only hesitated a little before agreeing, and only told him to bring more guards.

When he changed his clothes and walked out of the dormitory, Zhu Jinghong couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"It took me a lot of thought, but the rhetoric I came up with was useless. It seems that I can only save it for the next time!"
