Daughter of aristocratic family

After having a vegetarian meal at Miaoying Temple, Zhao Wangshu excused himself as tired from walking and wanted to stay in the Zen room to drink tea instead of going to the release pool with Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu.

Look, she is such a good sister, who single-handedly made the two of them get along.

Zhao Wangshu sat in the Zen room, sipping tea and admiring the scenery outside the window.

After Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu came back from the Free Life Pond, they left Miaoying Temple and walked back.

When we arrived at the city gate, the road was blocked, and there was a long line of carriages in front of us.

Zhao Wangshu lifted the curtains and looked outside casually. He saw an acquaintance and blinked hard before looking again.

That's right, it's Fan Jinyao, but wasn't she exiled? Why is it here?

"Wangshu, what are you looking at?" Song Yuanqu asked.

"I didn't see anything." Zhao Wangshu quickly lowered the curtains and laughed.

Across the carriage, her eldest brother probably didn't see Fan Jinyao, right?

Zhao Wangshu was quite uneasy. Fan Jinyao was her eldest brother's white moonlight. This white moonlight was quite lethal.

She really didn't want anything to happen to her eldest brother's marriage to Song Yuanqu.

When she returned home, she deliberately asked Zhao Yin, "Under what circumstances will a person who was exiled for a crime be pardoned?"

"Why do you think of asking this question?" Zhao Yin asked.

"I went to the street yesterday and watched a play. In the play, an upright official was framed and exiled." Zhao Wangshu made up a story casually.

Zhao Yin pondered for a moment, "There are three situations. One is that His Majesty will grant amnesty to the world and will pardon some of the exiled prisoners. The other is that rich people spend a lot of money to buy their crimes, reduce their guilt, and even be pardoned. The third is that they can be rehabilitated and their posts can be restored to their original positions. .”

Zhao Wangshu nodded, "I understand."

Afraid of arousing Zhao Yin's suspicion, Zhao Wangshu quickly ran to find Mrs. Zhao Cui, "Grandma, I'm in trouble."

Mrs. Zhao Cui was sitting on the recliner, petting the cat with half-closed eyes. When she heard the sound, she sat up and said, "My dear, what's the matter? Don't panic, don't panic."

Zhao Wangshu took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "Grandma, I saw Fan Jinyao at the gate of the city. She has returned to Beijing."

Zhao Cui's eyes became serious, "Did you read that correctly?"

"Grandma, I have very good eyesight." Zhao Wangshu said seriously.

"It's really a bit tricky for her to return to Beijing at this time." Zhao Cui frowned, "But as long as your eldest brother doesn't get confused, it's okay."

"I'm just afraid that big brother will be confused." Zhao Wangshu sighed.

Mrs. Zhao Cui put down the snowball and patted her hand, "Don't worry, let Axiang keep an eye on him. If he dares to go to Fan Jinyao, I'll ask your father to break his legs."

"Grandma, you can't just stare at my eldest brother, you have to check Fan Jinyao." Zhao Wangshu was worried that Fan Jinyao would pester her eldest brother.

Mrs. Zhao Cui nodded, "You are right, we need to check it out."

Before anything could be found out, Mrs. Fan brought Fan Jinyao over for a visit.

After the exile, the appearance of the grandfather and grandson was different from before. Mrs. Fan's hair was completely white and she looked very old.

Fan Jinyao is no longer as charming as before, her figure is thin, and although she has applied makeup, she still looks lackluster, and her crystal eyes have long lost their former charm.

Although Ms. Zhao Cui sympathized with Mrs. Fan for being dragged down by her children in her later years and suffered a serious crime, her sympathy was sympathy and she would not be so unclear about it.

What's more, Zhao Yin is already engaged to Song Yuanqu, so there is no way she would abandon Song Yuanqu and choose Fan Jinyao.

"Yue'er, take your sister from the Fan family to play in the side hall." Zhao Cui said.

Zhao Wangshu took Fan Jinyao to the side hall. The maid served tea and snacks, "Sister Fan, please have tea."

"Okay." Fan Jinyao stretched out her hands covered with frost scars, picked up the cup, and took two sips, "Isn't Brother Zhao at home?"

"He is at the Yamen." Zhao Wangshu said calmly. "Brother Zhao, is he, is he okay?"

"It's good. We're getting married in October." Zhao Wangshu didn't want her to still have illusions about Zhao Yin.

"He's getting married?" Fan Jinyao was so shocked that she almost dropped the teacup in her hand, and asked with a pale face, "With whom?"

"Song Yuanqu, the daughter of Princess Rui, grew up." Zhao Wangshu told the truth.

The tea cup in Fan Jinyao's hand finally fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The tea splashed onto her skirt.

She looked at Zhao Wangshu blankly, her eyes full of loss and grief, "He...he is going to marry someone else?"

"Sister Fan, my eldest brother has no engagement with you. It's normal for him to marry. You shouldn't dwell on the past. Let it go and find your own happiness." Zhao Wangshu comforted softly.

"Happiness?" Fan Jinyao smiled sadly, "Can a person like me still be happy?"

Zhao Wangshu's silence and exile were the stains on Fan Jinyao's body. It was very difficult for her to find a good match.

But no matter how pitiful she is, she can't fill her eldest brother in, right?

After all, she was a person who had survived the bitter cold of exile. Fan Jinyao's mind was much tougher than before. After a brief period of loss, she quickly returned to normal.

"You're right. I can't regard exile as a lifelong shackle. I believe that I will find someone who can accept me." Fan Jinyao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Wangshu twitched the corners of his lips, "I hope you can figure it out."

The ancestors and grandsons of the Fan family had lunch at the Zhao family before leaving.

After seeing them off, Zhao Wangshu told Mrs. Zhao Cui, "Grandma, I told Fan Jinyao about my eldest brother's engagement."

She recounted her conversation with Fan Jinyao in detail.

"If she can keep her word, our two families can still communicate with each other." Mrs. Zhao Cui thought about the old relationship.

Zhao Wangshu had a vague feeling that Fan Jinyao would not keep his word, but Fan Jinyao hadn't done anything yet, so she couldn't make any assumptions.

A few days later, the shopkeeper of the board game store came over and told her, "Yesterday, a few strong men came to the store to cause trouble, and they were arrested by Feng Jijun."

"This Ma Qiaoqiao is really good at seeking death." Zhao Wangshu didn't ask anyone for help and directly asked her elder brother to handle the matter.

Let her eldest brother be busy so as not to be distracted by other women.

Don't think she doesn't know. If it weren't for Ah Xiang's cleverness, Fan Jinyao would have almost met her eldest brother by chance.

She had to change her eldest brother's daily trajectory so that Fan Jinyao could not find her eldest brother.

While Zhao Yin was busy helping his sister solve the problem, it was confirmed that the fifth prince secretly hid weapons, and this matter also involved Northern Xinjiang.

The fifth prince added another crime, having liaison with a foreign country.

Yun Hao took the confessions of the Fifth Prince's gang members and went to the prison to see the Fifth Prince, "What else do you have to say?"

The fifth prince stared at him, "Is the person who found my private residence one of your men?"

"Yes." Yun Hao readily admitted.

"Why? I ask myself that I have never offended you." The fifth prince said in confusion.

"Long Tingwei only obeys His Majesty's will." Yun Hao would not tell him that the initial investigation of him was due to personal enmity.

Who asked him to help Princess Anaya cover up the harm to Zhao Wangshu?

"You are really a useful dog." The fifth prince scolded.

"Roaring incompetently will only make your fate worse." Yun Hao said coldly.
