She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

The capital government office.

Fu Jiao hasn't gone anywhere these days.

Ever since she got drunk with Zhao Yuyi, Fu Rudi gave her a good lecture and said she would never dare to do it again.

Fu Rudi and Xue Zhongliu met more and more frequently. Fu Jiao used to feel uncomfortable, but later she calmed herself down and became grateful to Xue Zhongliu.They were not relatives, but they were willing to work hard for her case, so what could she have to complain about.

On this day, Xue Zhongliu hurried to the government office to report the latest clues found.

Fu Rudyben and King Guangping were discussing matters in the lobby. Xue Zhongliu thought for a moment and said to Si Nan, "I'll wait for Mr. Fu in the backyard study and we'll talk in detail when he comes." Seeing that Si Nan was ordered to leave, she reminded again: "Don't let King Guangping know about it. I want to talk about this in private."

"Oh."

Simon didn't quite understand, but he did as he was told.

Xue Zhongliu stood at the door of Fu Rudi's study.

She looked left and right, and at this moment, the door next to the study room creaked open, and Fu Jiao, wearing a crimson skirt and fox fur cloak, walked out.

It snowed just last night.

The yard is covered in snow, and the dead branches and tiles on the eaves are piled with snow.The bright red color suddenly appeared on Fu Jiao's body, making her look more charming, more vivid and delicate than the bright flowers.

"Eh? Xue Captou, you're here."

Fu Jiao smiled brightly.

Xue Zhongliu's face was upturned and slovenly. At this moment, compared with Fu Jiao's pretty appearance, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

She didn't really like Fu Jiao's clingy way of acting coquettishly.

She believes that women should not be soft and cute, but should be strong and decisive like her, wielding swords and guns.What's more, it is simply inappropriate for Fu Jiao, a girl who has not left the palace, to stay away from home every day and live with her brother in the government office.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhongliu grimaced, and his attitude towards Fu Jiao was very cold, and he just said "hmm".

Fu Jiao would have been angry when meeting such an arrogant person before.

But it's different now.

She smiled and said, "Brother is discussing things with King Guangping. It will probably take a while. It's a bit cold outside. Why don't Captain Xue go inside and sit down?"

Just as Xue Zhongliu was about to refuse, Fu Jiao had already opened the door of Fu Rudi's study and invited her in.

Xue Zhongliu stood at the door and did not go in immediately. He frowned and asked worriedly: "This is Master Fu's study. Would it be impolite to break in without his permission?"

"nothing."

Fu Jiao looked back and smiled, her eyes filled with joy, "I often come in, but my brother never says anything."

Xue Zhongliu thought of Fu Rudi's blatant preference for Fu Jiao, and his tone unconsciously took on a sour taste, "Yes, Mr. Fu and I have known each other for so many years, and he is indeed the best to you."

Fu Jiao lit the charcoal basin in the study room.

The room soon became warm.

She moved a stool and was busy, so Xue Zhongliu couldn't continue to refuse, so she sat near the door and waited for Fu Rudi.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Xue Zhongliu looked at the burning sparks in the charcoal basin and kept his mouth shut.Fu Jiao knew by looking at her that she didn't like to talk, so she took the initiative to warm up and gave Xue Zhongliu a handful of the hot chestnuts she had just bought. She asked with a smile: "Xue Captou, you came to see my brother today to discuss me." That kidnapping case?”

It was understandable that he would not tell King Guangping about this matter. Faced with the person involved, Xue Zhongliu felt that there was no need to hide it.After hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "Well, according to the investigation of the families where Aunt Yun used to be an embroiderer, the one she is most likely to contact...is your family."

"my home?"

Fu Jiao rolled her eyes and understood.

Seeing that Xue Zhongliu was holding the chestnut without peeling it, she helped her peel off the chestnut shell and handed the yellow chestnut to Xue Zhongliu's mouth.

Fu Rudi usually couldn't resist her feeding, let alone Xue Zhongliu.

Xue Zhongliu had no choice but to take the chestnut and eat it. When the sweet and soft taste spread in her mouth, her mood became cheerful.At least when I look at Fu Jiao's bright and pretty face, I don't feel so repulsed anymore, and I even feel that she is a little more cute and naive.

Fu Jiao's expression was confused and naive.

Xue Zhongliu was afraid that she would not understand the meaning of what he just said, so he explained to her: "You have been in the capital for many years and have never made any enmity with anyone. The people you get along with the most are the Fu family. Therefore, the Fu family is the most suspicious. I don't know. Who joined forces with Aunt Yun to kill you?"

"I see."

Fu Jiao had already speculated.

Besides, anyone who tries to harm her will only suffer the consequences.

Fu Jiao was talking to Xue Zhongliu while peeling chestnuts for her.The warm and sweet chestnuts made Xue Zhongliu feel for the first time the feeling of eating someone with the shortest hand.

"Just think about who you have issues with at home."

"I do not know."

Fu Jiao held her mouth and shook her head, "No one in the family likes me."

"what does it mean?"

Xue Zhongliu asked.

Fu Jiao lowered her head, her thin bangs blowing in the wind beside her ears, making her white skin look more transparent, like a piece of delicate porcelain.Her disappointed expression inexplicably made Xue Zhongliu's heart tighten, and he even slowed down the speed of eating chestnuts. "You are the fourth young lady of the Fu family. Who wants to harm you?"

"Fourth Miss is just a superficial title."

Fu Jiao let out a long sigh and told Xue Zhongliu about her miserable and humiliating life experience in the Fu family.

Only then did Xue Zhongliu realize that the young girl in front of him, who looked so polished and polished, was living such a miserable life at home.No wonder Fu Rudi took her to live in the government office. Fu Rudi must have known about his sister's situation and wanted to protect her.Just now, Xue Zhongliu was mentally blaming Fu Jiao for not following the rules and staying away from home every day.If Fu Jiao had been living in the Fu family, she might have been killed.

Now that I think about it carefully, Xue Zhongliu misunderstood Fu Jiao. She was unhappy in every way and couldn't even eat the delicious and sweet chestnuts in her hands.

Fu Jiao thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of anyone in the Fu family who wanted her life.

Fu Zhenqing thinks the reincarnation of the evil star of the fourth lady who was born as a concubine is too annoying?Want to get rid of her and improve your luck?Or maybe the mistress and sister-in-law didn't like her, so they kidnapped and killed her out of sight and out of mind?
It doesn't make sense.

If Fu Zhenqing leaks something, his career will be over; she is already hair-haired, so Mr. Xie can just let her get married, so why take such a big risk?
There are other things like aunt, second brother, maid, etc...

"There is no evidence, and I'm not sure who it is." Fu Jiao lowered her eyes, feeling deeply sorry, "I can't provide any useful clues. You may have to worry about Capt. Xue and continue to investigate."

She looks very pitiful.

Xue Zhongliu was filled with sympathy at this moment.

How could you misunderstand such a fragrant and soft girl who peeled chestnuts for her?You really deserve to die!
