The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

Those who were teaching in secret and those who were practicing favoritism began to shout and yell, and many people ran to the open space.

Liao Shiyu actually saw familiar faces, four talented young men from Dajing!

There was no panic on their faces; they just looked at the fire with some surprise.

"You are from Dajing, right? You are in danger now, do you know that?"

The four of them turned around and saw Liao Shiyu behind them.

A young man said in surprise:

"Hey, I recognize you. You also came here from Dajing by boat!"

Liao Shiyu did not reveal his identity at the time. He nodded.

"The people in this castle are not good people. Don't follow them. Leave here quickly!"

Another young man immediately said:

"You just got here too, what right do you have to say that about them? In my opinion, they are nice people, with elegant manners and civilized conversation, a hundred times better than the people in our Great Jing Country!"

Liao Shiyu said seriously:

"What you saw was just the surface! There were two other people who came with you. One was a girl named Yingying, who had already been killed by them! The other one was Liang Zhou, who saw that the situation was bad and fled."

A young boy said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Yingying was personally accepted as a disciple by a master. We all envy her. How could she have been murdered?"

"If you said someone had taken a fancy to a beautiful girl like her, I might believe you. But you said she was murdered? Who would kill her? She just arrived and she has no enemies."

"That's right. If I were an expert, I would also take Yingying away. Hahaha!"

The young men laughed in a low voice.

Liao Shiyu was simply speechless. If the person was not from Dajing, he would not have bothered to care.

"You better think about it. We are from the same hometown. I won't lie to you. If you insist on going your own way, it will be too late to regret it!"

Liao Shiyu's tone was very serious, fearing that these teenagers would not believe him.

However, it was useless. These people didn't care at all. One of the young men curled his lips and said:

"Come on, man, take care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."

"Are you trying to trick us away and take all the benefits for yourself?"

Liao Shiyu was furious.

At this time, a roar was heard:

"Who is it! Who sneaked into our castle and killed our people?"

The voice is as low as the muffled thunder in the sky, but it also has the same majestic momentum!

not good!

This is a powerful demigod!

Jiang Mingyue pulled Liao Shiyu back without saying a word and turned around to run away.

……

Emperor Jing did not want the news about Lady Liao to spread, but the opposite happened. Within a few days, the news spread throughout the court and the streets.

Emperor Jing was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into who leaked the news, but to no avail.

For several days, there was a heated argument in the court over how to deal with Liao Shiyu.

Nearly half of the officials in the court thought that Liao Shiyu should be treated with caution, and a small half of them thought that Liao Shiyu should not be reused and should be demoted. These were the people who opposed it.

Most officials supported it, saying that although Liao Shiyu was an orphan of the previous dynasty, his mother had not committed any crime and should not be considered a rebel. Moreover, he had done nothing wrong over the years, so no action needed to be taken.

But those who oppose it say that was in the past. Now that Liao Shiyu knows his identity, what if he has other intentions? No one can predict this. This is related to the safety of the country, so we must be careful.

Those who supported the idea said that Governor Liao had made great contributions and everyone knew what kind of person he was, and he would never have any other ideas. Others sarcastically said that some people should not be too selfish, saying high-sounding words but actually having ulterior motives.

Those who oppose it righteously say that you are the ones who are selfish, and that everyone should put the country first and not act on impulse just because of personal feelings.

Emperor Jing's head hurt from the noise.

Who can stand this kind of noise going on for several days in a row?

He had finally gathered up some energy, but after the trouble these past few days, he felt exhausted.

That day, he was too lazy to go to court, so he took Eunuch Shi with him and went out of the palace to relax.

It can be considered as traveling incognito.

The two were dressed similarly, both wearing blue robes and scholar's scarves. To outsiders, they looked like two old men hanging out together, except that one was in good health and had a strong look in his eyes, while the other walked with a shaky and listless gait.

Emperor Jing walked slowly, looking at the people coming and going on the street, some shouting and hawking, some bargaining, some stopping to watch a play, and some chatting...

It seemed like everyone was living a more fulfilling life than him, and for a moment he even felt a little envious?

It seems that I am really old!

"Old Shi, what do you think our lives would be like if we changed them? Would they be better than now?"

Eunuch Shi replied:

"Master, whether it is good or not depends on each person's opinion. Just like drinking water, one knows whether it is hot or cold."

Emperor Jing shook his head.

"Boring, Old Shi, your answer is too boring."

Eunuch Shi remained silent.

As a eunuch, he is of course boring. Isn't that normal? If you want to be interesting, you need entertaining artists like quick-speaking storytellers.

Emperor Jing was just chatting, so he took the lead and walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea, and drank it with Eunuch Shi while looking around.

How many years has it been since he last experienced this kind of life?

He couldn't remember any of it.

Just then, the conversation between several people sitting next to him caught his attention.

There were four businessmen at this table. One of them said:

"Hey, Old Song, I heard that the governor of the Dark Clothes Guard is actually the descendant of an orphan from the previous dynasty? Is this true or false? You are a local and you are more informed. Tell us about it?"

The man surnamed Song was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He took a sip of tea and said:

"You have quite sharp ears. This news has only been circulating for a few days, and even you know about it?"

"Ahem, I heard it occasionally, so tell me about it."

"Then tell me! According to my uncle's uncle's youngest brother, this is most likely true. He is paid by the emperor, so he should have heard about it through some channels. And now many people are spreading the news. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, so it should be correct."

"Is that so? That person is a favorite of the Emperor. Isn't he going to be in trouble now?"

"What bad luck? Those important figures in the rebellion were all captured by the Governor-General. The elimination of the Zodiac Pavilion was also the work of the Governor-General. If he had a problem, would he do these things? If you think about it with the back of your head, it is absolutely impossible!"

Someone else interrupted:

"That was in the past. Now that he knows his identity, who knows what will happen?"

"That's no problem! He has already become the sworn enemy of the rebels. Even if he wants to change his ways, it's too late, haha!"

"What are you talking about! Has the Governor ever done anything bad? On the contrary, he is upright and honest, eradicating corruption and being clear-minded. His wife is also a good person who helps the needy and is dedicated to public welfare. Even if they have a mother who is an orphan of the previous dynasty, so what?"
