"And then you came home?" Bing'er looked at Lu Zhao and asked.

Lu Zhao nodded, "Originally, I wanted to give all the silver in the family to Xiu-Er for her to keep for herself, but when I returned home, I saw that my mother was sick. So I hurriedly asked the doctor to treat my mother's illness, and then stayed by her side."

"You want to give all of your wealth to Xiu-Er?" Bing'er looked at Lu Zhao and asked.

Lu Zhao nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Can you tell me how much you have?" Bing'er asked Lu Zhao.

Lu Shao lowered his head in thought for a moment and then raised his head to look at Bing'er, "If you add in the jade pendant, it should be around three hundred taels."

"Three hundred silver taels?" "Bing-Er looked at Lu Zhao in disbelief. Three hundred taels was not a small number; it was enough for an ordinary family of a hundred and twenty years." "Three hundred silver taels, can you give it all to Xiu-Er?"

Lu Zhao couldn't help but smile, "My life was saved by Wen Feng. How could I have earned so much silver without him? [I am willing to give my everything to Xiu-Er!]

"Does Xiu-Er know that you are going to give her everything you have?" Bing'er asked Lu Zhao once again.

"I know. I told Xiu-Er before she left Wen Feng's grave that I would give her everything. As long as she is willing to leave the residence and return to her hometown." "However, Xiu-Er only paused for a second before she ran down the mountain. I remember Xiu-Er's expression at that time was one of disdain. It was like she didn't care about the three hundred silver taels at all." Lu Zhao answered Bing'er with absolute certainty.

Bing'er looked deeply at Lu Zhao; she believed everything he said. Now that he knew what had happened, he believed that Xiu-Er's death could be of great help.

"Grandma Lu, please say a few more words to Lu Zhao." She glanced at Lu Zhao, who had been squatting on the ground and looking at him with a pained expression, and said.

Grandma Lu didn't go up to speak to Lu Zhao, but instead stood up from the ground, "Young Master Liu, let's go, leave this place." Bing'er looked at Grandma Lu in surprise, "Don't you want to say a few words to Lu Zhao?"

Grandma Lu turned around and looked gratifyingly at Lu Zhao lying on the ground, then looked at Bing'er, "My son is innocent, I believe Young Master Liu will definitely help my son wash his sins. I'll talk to my son all night long on the day that Lu Zhao comes out of his cell. We have to leave this place as soon as possible, in case any problems arise."

Grandma Lu's words made Bing'er look at her in a new light. She did not expect that a woman like Grandma Lu would actually know how to think about the big picture. She looked down at Lu Zhao, solemnly swearing to him, "If you keep your life, I'll definitely wash away this grievance for you."

Lu Zhao looked gratefully at Bing'er, "Regardless of whether Lu Zhao's grievances can be wiped away, Lu Zhao is now thanking Young Master Liu!"

Bing'er stopped after a few steps. He turned around and squatted down in front of the cell. He asked Lu Zhao in a low voice, "Lu Zhao, answer me honestly. Do you and Xiu-Er have a physical relationship now?"

"Nope." Lu Zhao looked at Bing'er honestly.

"Do you know who Xiu-Er was involved with?" Bing'er asked Lu Zhao once again.

Lu Zhao thought about it carefully, then replied to Bing'er, "I only know that she is very close to a worker in the Prime Minister's house. I'm not very clear about the rest."

Bing'er once again instructed Lu Zhao to take good care of himself and not tell anyone that she and Grandma Lu had turned the case over for him. Then he led the landlady out of the cell.

Lu Shao looked at Bing'er and Grandma Lu's departing figures with both gratitude and excitement. At this moment, he suddenly felt a bright light in front of him.

When Bing'er and Grandma Lu walked out of the cell, all the guards and soldiers outside lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to look at her and Grandma Lu.

Bing-Er smiled with a hint of pride. She glanced at the token hanging on her waist out of the corner of her eyes. She didn't expect it to be so useful. She would have to wait a few more days before returning the … uh, eunuch.

Zhining rushed back to the Chen residence early in the morning. Just as she stepped into the gate, she saw Chen family guards standing at the entrance of the hall, swinging their swords.

She purposely ignored Chen Jiaxuan and walked past him towards her own residence.

Seeing that Zhining did not pay any attention to her, Chen family's Wei put away the sword in his hand and stood there looking at her figure with both helplessness and guilt. He sighed to himself and called out to her, "Zhining."

ZhiNing stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Chen Jiaxia with a cold face and asked faintly, "What's the matter?" "Father!" The tone of the question was filled with respect.

Chen Jiaxuan was at a loss for words, but soon after, he gave an awkward smile, "I want to ask you, did you eat breakfast? I specifically told the kitchen to prepare your favorite chicken soup, so I might as well have someone bring it to your room. " Finishing his words, he turned around and walked in the direction of the group of people.

ZhiNing turned to look away, looking coldly at Chen Jiaxuan's back, "Thank you for your concern, dad. Your daughter has already eaten." I don't want to drink any more chicken soup. " With that, Zhining turned and walked into her room without even looking back.

The Chen family guards turned around and helplessly looked at Zhining's departing figure. Originally, there was already a gap between the father and daughter. After yesterday's incident, the gap between them had probably grown even deeper! He let out a deep sigh, then strode into Zhining's room. He had already lost a son, and no longer wanted to lose his daughter.

Zhining returned to her room, sitting on a stool, she poured herself a cup of cold tea and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the tea entered her mouth, a knock came from the door. She put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Come in."

Chen Jiaxuan gently pushed open the door, his eyes somewhat twinkling. He did not dare to look at Zhining, but he walked up to the table and stood.

"Father, why have you come here to look for your daughter?" ZhiNing stood up from her chair and asked Chen Jiaxi.

The Chen family guard felt rather uncomfortable under Zhining's gaze. He wanted to say something to Zhining, but he was unable to do so in the end. However, he had already arrived at Zhining's room, and had no choice but to say something to her. "Actually, it's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that yesterday, someone wanted to hurt Sir Patrol Officer. Today, you have to properly protect him and prevent him from getting hurt again."

Chen Jiaxuan's words made Zhining snort coldly to herself. To Chen Jiaxuan, Southern Ocean had always been ranked at the top, and this daughter of hers was nothing to him, but it didn't matter. After all, she was not the biological daughter of Chen Jiaxuan!

"Your daughter knows. Daddy, don't worry. Your daughter will definitely protect the patron with her life. I definitely won't let the patrolman be harmed in the slightest." Zhining purposefully said the words' using her life to protect the adults' very clearly, as if she was afraid that the Chen family guards wouldn't be able to hear her.

How could Zhining not hear the mockery in Chen Jiaxue's words? He glanced at Zhining helplessly, "Since you can think like that, I'm relieved." Finishing his sentence, he turned around and left the room, and just as he was about to step out of the doorway, he paused for a moment, half turning to look at the motionless Zhining who was standing still on the spot, "It's important to protect the Lord, but at the same time you have to protect your own life. Otherwise, how can you protect others if you can't even protect yourself?

Chen Jiaxuan's words made Zhining secretly sneer in ridicule. Chen Jiaxue wanted her to preserve her life just for the sake of protecting others?!

She raised her eyes and surveyed her own residence. Other than this room, everything else here was foreign to her.
