On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 453 Trial

After hearing what Lu He said, Xiao Zhou took a breath of cold air. It seemed that if she had not shown mercy, her man’s innocence would have been almost lost.

If this really happened, it would be as disgusting as swallowing a fly.

She felt a little relieved that this damn girl had not yet given up all her conscience, and she even felt reluctant to take her life.

But if I let Lu He go easily, I would offend my sister-in-law.

I had watched my sister-in-law use arrows to deal with them before, and I was very happy watching from the side. But if my sister-in-law pointed the arrow at me... Xiao Zhou shuddered and said to Xiao Xiao with an apologetic look: "Sister-in-law, I didn't take good care of them. I'll let you deal with me as you please."

The main thing is that these two people have become hot potatoes to her.

It's easy to imagine that if we investigate further, the case will involve too many people and it may even be a family scandal.

Therefore, Xiao Zhou was unusually alert and wanted to throw this hot potato to Xiao Xiao.

She thought that even if her sister-in-law couldn't solve the problem, she still had her elder brother.

My eldest brother is a military commander and can handle any trouble he encounters.

Her husband is a man of elegant appearance and scholarly talent, but he cannot stand being plotted against secretly.

Zhang Er, whose legs were as soft as noodles, finally spoke up: "These are just my own ideas. Lu He was forced to do this."

Lu He, who was lying on the ground, heard his words and cried and complained: "Second brother, it won't be lonely if we walk together on the road to the underworld."

She knew in her heart that she would never be easily forgiven for what she had done.

It is killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and also killing one to warn the hundred.

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said calmly, "Take them away and lock them up separately. Whoever can reveal the mastermind behind this will be able to leave alive."

The guards responded and took the two men away.

The main reason is that this is the backyard, and the guards cannot come in unless there is something important today.

In the backyard, with so many maids and old women staring at them, they felt very uncomfortable.

After everyone left, Xiao Zhou smiled awkwardly at Xiao Xiao: "Sister-in-law, can you really find out who is behind them?"

Xiao Xiao looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Do you want me to find out clearly, or do you want me not to find out clearly?"

Without waiting for her to come back, he smiled again: "I just said it casually. When my husband comes back, I will leave this man to him to deal with."

Xiao Zhou could only smile and say, "Sister-in-law, you are really thoughtful."

Forget it, she doesn't care about this matter anymore. Even if it is finally traced back to her uncle and his family, it will just make them understand that if they do less bad things, they won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on their door in the middle of the night.

When Li Yan came back in the evening, he was surprised to hear what Xiao Xiao said: "Your idea is good. The mastermind behind the scenes must be keeping an eye on them. I just need to send someone to keep an eye on them, and maybe I can follow the clues to find out who is behind it."

At this moment, Li Yan had a very strict filter towards his wife. He thought that if she was a man, she would definitely be an expert in torture in the Ministry of Justice.

It is always a happy thing to be praised by others.

The main reason is that Xiao Xiao has been in confinement for more than a month and has not left the house, which makes her feel like she is too idle.

Now that she can finally use her brain, how could she not put some thought into it?

Isn’t it said that if you don’t use your brain, it will rust?

Xiao Xiao looked at him proudly, her eyes moving, her red lips slightly raised, charming and attractive: "It's a small matter, the rest is up to you."

"Okay," Li Yan particularly liked to see her happy face, which made her look particularly lively, and his tone was full of intimacy that only couples can have. Therefore, he also specifically mentioned what Liu Da had said to him in the morning: "Now they have gone to check, and there should be results soon."

Xiao Xiao took a breath and said, "The Gu family members are really filthy-minded."

Then he asked him: "So what are you going to do?"

Seeing her interest, Li Yan did not hide it: "They will not open to guests until dark. Liu Da and the others will go and investigate carefully."

At this time, Meng Hui brought up a few maids with her to serve the food.

Xiao Xiao thought of what Li Yan had said to her before, and she came up with a good idea: "Let Liu Da pretend to be a lover who was bewitched by the courtesan and redeem the girl. Who knows, maybe we can get some information out of the girl?"

It’s not that she wanted to trick Liu Da, but Liu Da was a talkative person. Sometimes when he was driving, she could hear some gossip.

He had previously begged in front of her in a shy manner, saying that he wanted to marry Menghui.

It's a pity that Meng Hui didn't like him, and he originally thought that they were not destined to be together. But he didn't expect that Li Yan had mentioned to him before that Liu Da still wanted to marry Meng Hui.

Xiao Xiao did not object. Instead, she felt that although Liu Da's appearance was not outstanding, at least his facial features were regular and his small eyes were pleasing to the eye after looking at them for a long time.

Furthermore, men who are good at speaking are not necessarily treacherous.

But she wouldn't force anyone, so she specifically said it in front of Meng Hui. If she was interested, she would also come to her and tell her in private.

Meng Hui was stunned when she heard Xiao Xiao's words, but she still put the food on the table and stepped aside: "Uncle, grandma, please have some."

"Well," Xiao Xiao said naturally after sitting down, "You can go eat too."

Meng Hui opened her mouth, but then quietly retreated.

Seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, Xiao Xiao sighed and started eating.

Although she was still eating confinement meals, there were four or five dishes. In addition, she had coaxed her crying daughter into a hug, so she now had a good appetite.

Li Yan, on the other hand, actually thought that Xiao Xiao's idea was good: "Your idea is really good, but Liu Da often follows me out, which is still too conspicuous. I will ask someone to choose a more ordinary person later."

After saying that, he began to eat peacefully.

After dinner, he asked Xiao Xiao to walk around the house to digest the food while he went to talk to someone.

It was still very cold as the first month of the lunar year was not over yet. Although Xiao Xiao wanted to take a stroll in the yard, she did not dare to joke with her body. She was even more lazy to walk around the house like a millstone. She fell on the couch naturally and said, "Someone, come and give me a massage."

When the couple were in the inner room, the maids mostly retreated to the outer room to wait for instructions.

But if Li Yan was not there, the maids would always be there.

Meng Hui had already walked in after Li Yan left, and was carefully folding the clothes that had been dried. When she heard Xiao Xiao's words, she finally couldn't help but walk over.

When Mama Hao was teaching Mama Hu how to massage, she did not forbid the maid to watch. Seeing that Meng Hui was interested, she even gave her some pointers.

Therefore, Meng Hui was now beside the bed, massaging Xiao Xiao's back, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, did the master really ask Liu Da to go to the brothel to redeem her?"

Then, she tried to cover up the truth and said, "I just think that since he often follows the master, will the people in the Gu family know him?"

Xiao Xiao closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "It's Liu Da again, a toad wants to eat swan meat, and he mentioned that he wants to marry you in front of his husband."

"If he wants to get married so badly, I'll give him a wife for free, so he won't be thinking about you."

After saying this, he did not forget to take credit: "I thought it through for you, didn't I?"
