C111 (1/2)

How could a nameless emperor care about the lives of soldiers when he didn't even care about the kingdom?

In any case, the Great Wei had the Liu Family and the Xiao Family.

As a result, corruption and corruption became more and more serious on the part of the officials. Wasn't this the reason for the mutiny?

Su Zhi was busy buttering the cake in her hands. Listening to them, she felt depressed.

Xiao Qian was really wronged. She had never seen a general who would use his wealth to supplement his soldiers.

If the emperor didn't investigate everything and Xiao Gan became innocent, even a woman like her wouldn't be able to watch on.

He could not be bothered with all the work until the evening when the guests finally dispersed.

Su Zhi was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back. When she stopped, she thought about the army mutiny again. She was worried that Xiao Qian would be wronged.

Li Yi saw that it was almost time, and seeing that the woman who was staring blankly at the side had a heavy heart, he decided to let Flower Mansion close the restaurant earlier.

Su Zhi nodded in agreement. It was almost New Year's Day, so she could ask the shop assistant to go back early and prepare the new year's goods. Besides, today was the first day A Jin had gone to school, so she also wanted to go back early to check the situation.

The gate of the Moon's Residence Garden was opened early in the afternoon.

Shen Zhu personally sent A Jin and Dan Xue out. He reminded them, ”The weather is not good. The snow is slippery. A Jin should be careful when she returns.”

A Jin nodded and smiled. ”Yes, thank you for your concern, Teacher.”

”My garden is cold. A Jin, come back after the first day of the Chinese New Year.”

”Remember Teacher's warning.”

Shen Zhu waved his hand in satisfaction. ”Go. The snow will become even heavier in a moment.”

Dan Xue saluted and pulled A Jin onto the carriage.

After the carriage slowly left, Shen Zhu withdrew her gaze and sighed with a complex expression.

He turned around and looked at the direction where the branches and leaves of the cypress pine tree were concealed. His eyes suddenly turned cold. He gave a warning and turned around, walking into the yard.

The door closed with a bang, and the woman, who had been waiting, revealed her face. She pointed at the disappearing carriage and ordered, ”Think of a way to lure that woman away. I want to see that child alone.”

Xu Yue nodded and whispered a few words into the attendant's ear.

The two green-robed attendants received the order and turned around to rush to the side.

The snow on the road was too thick, and the carriage's speed was much slower than before.

As the coachman was driving the horse, he passed by a remote alley and fell into a quagmire. The whip landed on the horse's butt, causing it to struggle forward for a while.

Dan Xue lifted the curtain and asked, ”What's wrong?”

The driver apologetically replied, ”Lady, the carriage has been driven into a dark ditch.”

”Can you get up? The young mistress is already quite cold. ”

”Can I, can I not? You two go down and stand there for a while. I will whip this beast a few times.”

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Dan Xue could only carry A Jin and get off the car. She stood to the side and waited for the carriage to pull the cart up.

”Big sister Dan Xue, I want to relieve myself …” A Jin pulled on the woman's sleeve, her face red.

”Alright, then this servant will bring Big Brother Jin to a quiet place.”

”No, no. I'll go by myself. I'll be back soon.”

Dan Xue noticed A Jin's distress and could not help but find it funny. She was still worried, ”This place is secluded. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a place here.”

”I can, when I was in the village, I could go up the hill and dig for sweet potatoes by myself.”

Dan Xue couldn't force him. Knowing that the child was shy, she could only let him be.

A Jin received her permission and quickly walked towards the deserted alley behind her.

”Brother Jin, don't go too far. If you need anything, just shout. Your servant is waiting outside.”

A Jin answered without thinking, finding a corner to solve the problem before feeling a lot more comfortable.

Afraid that Dan Xue would wait for too long, he didn't dare to linger and hurriedly went back.

The alley was originally empty. He had only taken two steps when he bumped into a woman walking towards him.

Just as she was about to apologize, the woman asked anxiously, ”Who are you?”

He raised his head and saw the beautiful girl looking at him with tears in her eyes. She lightly bit her lips as her entire body trembled.
