"Furthermore, the commoner girl and her family were apprehended without ever seeing the victim. They were forced to work for them. As a young girl, what do I know? What can I do for them? Moreover, upon reaching the Zhong Residence, I learned about how the Zhong Residence treated the Lian Family. I was terrified; I feared the Government Office of Jingzhou would treat my parents the same way."

Ye Haoxuan remained silent for a long time before speaking, "If what you said is true, I naturally will not stand idly by. But if you deceive me with lies, the great Northwest would be the best place for you."

"I guarantee every word is true!" Huang Manli said this and repeatedly bowed to Ye Haoxuan.

Li Luru murmured quietly beside her, "Even if she speaks the truth, such selfish people should be sent to the great Northwest because of her replacement; six people from the Lian Family died."

"Indeed!" Ye Haoxuan nodded, "Even if I rescue your parents, you can’t escape severe punishment, even if you didn’t commit murder."

Huang Manli lowered her head upon hearing this.

Exiting the room, Ye Haoxuan walked slowly in the courtyard, seemingly pondering something.

"Master, the county officer of Jingzhou’s Government Office seems to be the prized student of State Duke Situ, Liu Cheng."

Ye Haoxuan knew of this person, "Indeed, the Situ Family has placed their people right under our noses."

He probably understood the situation.

This Huang Manli wasn’t sent by the Zhong Residence but clearly knowing Zhong Yongqian’s ambitions and his failure to report this matter to the Situ Family, they knew he would monopolize the benefits brought by this good deed, so the Situ Family sent her right under Zhong Yongqian’s nose, utilizing Zhong Yongqian’s hands to deliver her here.

Thus, the Situ Family knows nothing, and even if the Ye Family discovered something amiss, they could not trouble the Situ Family.

"What should we do now, Master?"

"Send someone to Jingzhou to investigate the truth of Huang Manli’s claims. If true, arrest Liu Cheng. No need to interrogate him; inform the Prefect that I’ll take Liu Cheng and Zhong Yongqian’s lives."

Ye Haoxuan thought, even if you didn’t make Huang Manli do anything but merely let her come to Heng River, do you think I wouldn’t trouble your Situ Family?

Dreaming too beautifully.

Your prized student from the Situ Residence, I want to see if his wrongdoing slaps the face of your Situ Residence.

"Yes!"

The master and servant spoke without excluding Li Luru.

Li Luru knew little about the significant matters in court, but she knew some people, such as the Situ Residence, where the Empress of Great Zhou was from.

"From what you’re saying, the Situ Family is responsible for this," Li Luru was puzzled, "Why would they do that? Since Huang Manli is clearly fake, why would they send her in front of you? Surely not just to annoy you?"

"Who knows?"

"Has Huang Manli withheld something?" Li Luru snorted coldly, "This girl looks calculating deep down. She didn’t tell the truth last time with Zhong Yongqian."

"It’s all the same whether she speaks or not," Ye Haoxuan said, "Anyway, we know who is behind this."

"Alas..." Li Luru sighed heavily.

"Tsk, tsk, you also know how to worry?"

"People are not plants; is knowing sorrow a problem?" Li Luru jumped off the rock and said, "I feel you might not be as unblemished as you seem; look, there are people plotting against you at all times; you could easily fall victim."
