Wait!
He really didn't know!
Now, he was still hesitating. To be more precise, he was conflicted.
If he reported this matter to the imperial court, it would involve the Imperial Duke's hundred thousand soldiers, Wei Yi, and even Ji Yunshu.
At that time, the imperial court would definitely send troops, and blood would flow like a river, staining the capital with blood.
Who would want to see such a scene?
Mo Ruo had been by his side for many years and had grown up with him, so he naturally knew what he was worried about.
Mo Ruo changed his lazy attitude and said, "I know what you're thinking. It's inevitable to have considerations on both sides. On one hand, as a prince, your responsibility is to protect Great Lin, so you should report this to the imperial court. On the other hand, the lives of the common people are in danger. You don't want to see countless deaths and injuries. Both sides involve a lot of things, so no matter who it is, they will have their considerations."
Jing Rong looked at him, "Then what do you think?"
"Me?" He pointed a finger at himself.
But he was also worried. Firstly, he had nothing to do with this matter, and secondly, he had never been interested in the affairs of the imperial court. Asking him was like playing the lute to a cow.
What a joke!
He laughed a little.
He got up and walked to Jing Rong, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "If I were you, I would do nothing and … wait."
"Wait?" Jing Rong was dumbfounded.
"That's right, wait." Mo Ruo said, "Usually, this is the best way to solve a problem. Wait, wait for someone to tell you what to do. Wait for the best time and do the most accurate thing. "
No matter how intelligent Jing Rong was, he was still confused by the man's words.
"Get to the point." Jing Rong's tone became heavier.
Mo Ruo let out a long sigh, "You asked me what to do? Now that I'm telling you, you just wait. "
I don't know!
I don't understand!
Jing Rong glanced at him. He was in a dilemma, but this fellow gave him this.
What the hell was there to wait for?
But he seemed to understand something.
He stopped pondering and summoned Lang Po. He looked outside and asked, "Where's Teacher Ji?"
"He just went out."
"Where did he go?"
Lang Po pursed his lips and carefully said two words, "Prison."
"Jail?" Jing Rong's expression immediately darkened. That woman's wings had really hardened. She actually went to prison during this sensitive period.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Shi Ziran ran over and reported hurriedly, "Your Highness, Teacher Ji is back. After going to the prison, he went to the yamen to pick up that little girl. He's now back in his own courtyard."
Hearing this, Jing Rong did not say another word and dragged his feet away.
In the courtyard.
Little Xiyue covered her mouth as she sat there, her big eyes staring at the plate of delicious snacks in front of her.
Qiao 'er took out a piece and stuffed it into her palm. "Little Xiyue, don't you like this the most? If it's not enough, I'll go get more for you. "
But —
Her small hands pushed the plate of pastries in front of her to the side. She raised her watery eyes and pursed her red lips a few times.
With a pleading look in her eyes, she said, "Big Sister Qiao 'er, can you please talk to Big Brother? I want to find my parents. I want to be with them. I also want to find my brother. I don't know how they are now. "
"This …" Wasn't this making things difficult for her?
Qiao 'er couldn't bear to see anyone cry, especially this cute little girl in front of her. Her big eyes were filled with tears, sparkling and translucent.
It made one's heart ache.
Qiao 'er reached out to rub her head and comforted her softly, "Little Xiyue, this matter … I can't make the decision. Your parents made a mistake and are now locked up in prison. Even if Teacher Ji is here, he might not be able to help you."
"Why?"
"This …"
She stuffed her mouth again.
Little Xiyue simply took her hand and shook it left and right, desperately pleading, "Just go and talk to Big Brother. My parents are not bad. They don't want your lives. Really!"
Suddenly —
A harsh voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Your parents led the army to rebel, stole the disaster relief funds, and killed so many officials who came to Yufu to investigate the case. These crimes are enough for them to die a thousand times, and you still say that they don't want your lives? Do you think everyone is blind? "
Ah!
The one who spoke was Tang Si.
She walked in while twirling the silver whip in her hand.
She directed all the anger that Zuo Yao had previously tied her up onto Little Xiyue through his fierce gaze.
Little Xiyue and she were natural enemies. Every time they met, she would pinch Little Xiyue's cheeks until they were red. Now that Little Xiyue said that her parents deserved to die, how could she stand it?
Therefore, a burst of strength suddenly burst forth from her small body. She stood up abruptly and pointed a short and slender finger at Tang Si.
"You're talking nonsense. My parents would never kill anyone or steal the disaster relief funds. You're framing them." Her tone was full of hostility.
"Framing?" Tang Si sneered, "I say, Little Xiyue, everyone says that you can read a thousand words at the age of three and can recite ancient books backwards. Why do you have such a stubborn little brain? You clearly saw with your own eyes that your mother brought people to capture us, and you clearly know that your father sent people to surround the Si Residence and wanted to capture Prince Rong and the others in one fell swoop. You know all of this, so why play dumb?"
Yes!
She knew all of it.
She knew it better than anyone.
But —
"But, they're my family after all." Little Xiyue's voice was no longer as high-pitched as before. Instead, it was soft and choked with sobs.
Little Xiyue sat down weakly again.
Tang Si saw her little head slowly droop and immediately felt a little sorry for her.
She also realized that her tone had been a little harsh just now. No matter what, this matter had nothing to do with the child.
She really wanted to slap herself right now!
She hurriedly said, "Little girl, don't be sad. What I said just now has nothing to do with you. You know that I'm straightforward and I like to speak the truth. My tone was bad just now, so please don't take it to heart."
She didn't respond.
"Little girl, I really …"
Before she could finish —
"Cough, cough!"
Ji Yunshu, who had just come out of the room, coughed lightly a few times. She had heard what Tang Si had said just now, and her eyes darkened. She glanced worriedly at Little Xiyue, who was sitting there in a daze and sad manner, and then turned to glare fiercely at the heartless Tang Si.
Then, she pulled her aside and reminded her.
"Can't you stop saying those things? This matter has nothing to do with her. "
"I know …"
"Also, during this period of time, she will be living here, so you still have to be careful when you speak."
"Ah?" Tang Si exclaimed and immediately covered her mouth. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Ji Yunshu with a shocked and curious expression. "That little girl is going to live here? Do you mean that you want to raise her? Do you want to be her mother?! "
Pfft!
