Bing-Er looked towards the door in confusion. An old woman in plain clothes walked into the room. Her eyes were red, swollen and tired. There was an obvious knife wound on her neck, and it was new and unscarred.

Bing'er turned her head to look at ZhiNing, confused.

"Grandma Lu is Lu Zhao's mother." ZhiNing slowly said yes to Bing'er.

"I know she's Lu Zhao's mother, but why did you bring her here?" She had seen Grandma Lu before on the street, so she naturally recognized her. However, she didn't understand why Bai Zhining had brought her here. Then, an idea struck her, and she looked at Zhining with a slightly troubled look, "You're not asking her to work for me, are you?" Ever since Mistress Shao's incident, she had never taken on any big clients. Right now, she couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she have the ability to hire other people! There was also the silver wire that she owed Sihan that hadn't been paid off yet.

She slowly walked in front of Bing'er, took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and placed it on the table beside Bing'er, "Old Liu, this is all my belongings. I will give it all to you, Young Master Liu, but please find out the truth about the young maid's death and return my son's innocence."

Seeing the stack of silver notes on the table, Bing'er's eyes lit up with excitement. How long had it been since she last saw so many silver notes? But soon after, she retracted her gaze from the banknotes, and turned to look at Grandma Lu, "Grandma Lu, you think too highly of me. I'm afraid I can't help you with this. The President of the Ministry of Justice had personally found out that Lu Zhao was the culprit. There was solid evidence, and the crime had been committed in the residence of the general, most importantly, Lu Zhao himself had already confessed. I don't have the ability to help you, so you should find someone else to help you. " The banknotes were very attractive, but she didn't have the ability to accept them.

Grandma Lu's hands intertwined nervously, and then she kneeled in front of Bing'er, with her hands holding onto a corner of Bing'er's body.

"Mister Liu, Zhao'er was wrongly accused. He was really wrongly accused, and I know that you will definitely be able to help Zhao'er. I beg you, help Zhao'er, I beg you." I've looked for all the officials in the capital. None of them are willing to reverse the case for Zhao'er, and none of them are willing to offend the Minister of Justice for a dead prisoner. Young Master Liu, other than you, I can't think of anyone else who can help Zhao'er get her revenge. "If even you don't help Zhao'er, then Zhao'er will die." As she spoke, the tears in Grandma Lu's eyes rolled down her face uncontrollably.

Madam Lu's words made Bing'er think of the sight of Lu Zhao walking on the streets, covered in wounds, with his firm and clean gaze. In her heart, she was somewhat convinced that Lu Zhao had been wrongly accused. However, she truly didn't have the ability to help Lu Zhao. She bent down to help Grandma Lu up from the ground and looked at her with a troubled expression, "Grandma Lu." "I really don't have the ability to help Lu Zhao, not to mention that Lu Zhao has already confessed. What can I do to help him?" It wasn't that she wasn't willing to help Grandma Lu, but that she didn't have the ability to.

Grandma Lu stood up from the ground, not knowing what to do as she looked towards Zhining with a pleading look. ZhiNing stepped forward to help Grandma Lu to sit on the chair next to the table, then gently patted on the back of Grandma Lu's hand. "Don't worry."

Grandma Lu nodded at Zhining, but her hands were still nervously intertwined together.

"Bing'er, I believe that Lu Zhao is innocent. Help Grandma Lu." ZhiNing looked at Bing'er with a begging look.

"Zhining!" Bing'er looked at Zhining in amusement and helplessness, "How would I have the ability to help Lu Zhao overturn the case? That's what your yamen is doing. "

ZhiNing looked at Bing'er seriously, her watery eyes filled with trust, "Bing'er, I believe you. I believe that you definitely have a way to find out the real cause of death of this young maid. "

"Zhining me."

"Bing-Er, can't you just help me?" ZhiNing interrupted Bing'er, looking at her with a begging look.

Bing'er sighed deeply, "Okay, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can help Lu Zhao." From modern times to ancient times, this was the first time Zhining had asked her for help. How could she refuse?

Upon hearing that Bing'er was willing to help her, Grandma Lu stood up from her chair, and once again knelt in front of Bing'er, kowtowing three times in succession, "Mister Liu, thank you, thank you for helping Lu Zhao. I thank you on behalf of Lu Zhao."
