After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

These words really frightened Xue Hefeng. He was the third master of Yangguo Duke's mansion. He was the minister of the Ministry of official affairs. He had a strong family background and a distinguished status. Others dared not touch him. But this person was Yan Mu. He did not mention his identity. He only said This man is a lunatic. If he wants to kill him, he really won't worry too much.

"Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, I, I will not pursue the case any further." Xue Hefeng rolled his eyes, thinking of deceiving them first and settling the score later.

"Don't pursue it?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, turned the knife in his hand, and made another slash on Xue Hefeng's arm the next moment.

The pain was so deep that Xue Hefeng whined.

Yan Mu patted Xue Hefeng's face with a dagger, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "If your hands and feet are not ruined, you'd better change your words."

Xue Hefeng was shaking all over in pain, but seeing Yan Mu smiling clearly made people feel chills running down their spines. He didn't dare to disobey, "I, I don't dare, I don't dare to go to the palace to report, I..."

Seeing Yan Mu's smile became colder, he hurriedly said: "I'm a bastard! I'm a beast! I'm not a human being!"

"Did you kill the girl?"

"I was just playing for fun... I didn't expect to play hard... I... I'm not a human being!" Xue Hefeng slapped himself in the mouth, "Your Majesty Seventh Prince, please spare me!"

Yan Mu stood up and stepped on Xue Hefeng's face, "I'll take them both alive and dead."

"Well... you... you take it away..."

Xue Hefeng's face was stepped on, and his words were incomplete.

Yan Mu ground it for a while, then kicked it away, "It's so dirty."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Xue Changfeng. Xue Hefeng understood and went in to help carry the person.

"Xue Hefeng, the kid who was falsely accused by you and put in jail a few days ago, His Highness just wants to ask you, are you willing to go to Jingzhao Mansion to prove his innocence?"

Xue Hefeng hesitated for a moment, and seeing Yan Mu's face darken again, he nodded quickly, "I, I'll go right now!"

Yan Mu nodded, "Very good, let's go now. My Highness will accompany you. I don't think you dare to play any tricks."

Xue Hefeng and Zhou Lihuai handled matters in the courtyard, while Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang took Xue Hefeng to Jingzhao Mansion.

"Mr. Xue, Xiao Wu was innocently killed, and the third lady was the murderer. You seemed to be very remorseful at that time, saying that you couldn't help the third lady. I thought you had some relationship with her as a couple. Now the third lady is still in the prison. , just waiting for the next spring to ask for death, but you, you continued to have fun, could it be that you were just acting in a show at that time?" Liu Yunxiang turned his head and glanced at Xue Hefeng.

Xue Hefeng covered one side of his face and whispered back: "She killed someone, and I went around to plead for her. I have done my best."

Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "You shirk your own responsibilities by saying 'to the utmost benevolence and justice'. It's so shameless!"

Coming out of the alley, Xue Hefeng's embarrassed appearance attracted the attention of the people passing by. He covered his face with his hands, feeling a little ashamed of this person.

As I was walking along the street towards Jingzhao Mansion, by coincidence, a group of people came galloping from the direction of the city gate.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and was surprised when he saw that the leaders were actually the third prince Qin Sheng'an and Qin Fei.

They are back in Beijing!

She and Yan Mu looked at each other and were about to catch Xue Hefeng and hide in the alley. Xue Hefeng was so clever that he staggered a few times and fell in the middle of the road.

At this time, the third prince and Qin Feishi naturally saw him, as well as Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang beside them.

The horse stopped. Qin Fei glanced at Xue Hefeng on the ground, and then at Yan Mu standing next to him. He narrowed his eyes and pulled out a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, isn't this Xue San? He was...who was he beaten by? In broad daylight, who dares to beat an official of the imperial court without his life?" Qin Sheng'an had no brains and did not compare Yan Mu and the person who beat Xue Hefeng at all. Get in touch.

"Old Qi, you are really a different person. This Xue Hefeng is a court official after all. You passed by here and you didn't even offer to help send him back to the Duke's Mansion."

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "What the third brother said is that I will send him back right away."

"It's better not to trouble His Highness the Seventh, let's send him back to the Duke's Mansion." Qin Feishi interrupted.

"Wang Zhou is tired from traveling in Anqing, so he should go back to Jinyuan to rest early."

"There are many of us." Qin Feishi pointed to the men and horses behind him, and then said with a smile: "Is it inconvenient for His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, was this a head-on confrontation?

Qin Feishi said that he had sent someone to lift Xue Hefeng onto the horse. No matter how tough Yan Mu was, he was indeed outnumbered at the moment.

"Your Majesty, Seventh Highness, Princess, Fei Shi just returned to Beijing today and has to go to the palace to resume his duties. We will definitely get together someday." Qin Fei Shi saluted Yan Mu and Yan Mu with clasped fists, and then walked away.

Seeing them taking Xue Hefeng away, Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath: "I'm afraid he will regret it and not prove Xiao Shuanzi's innocence."

Yan Mu snorted coldly, "He will definitely regret it."

If the person is not in their hands and the mouth is on him, there is nothing they can do.

Xue Changfeng and Zhou Lihuai helped bury the woman, and then sent the girl with the scar on her face to Liu Yunxiang's house.

After Zhou Lihuai put the girl's legs back together, he then treated the injuries on her face.

"Did that beast Xue Hefeng hurt you?" Xue Changfeng asked from the side.

The little girl's name was Wan'er. She shook her head when she heard this, "No, it's not."

"That is?"

"My sister."

Hearing this, several people present were a little surprised.

"Why?"

"My sister has been bullied by that beast. While he was looking for wine, my sister broke the porcelain bowl and gave me a piece of it, letting me ruin my appearance. Then the beast wouldn't force me. I don't Dare..." Wan'er said and couldn't help sobbing, "I was afraid...of pain...my sister asked me to close my eyes...she did it."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. Her sister was trying to save her sister, but she couldn't save herself.

"Bullying women, bullying children, this kind of man is not worthy of being a human being at all!" Xi'er turned blue with anger.

"I beat him. If he dares to report him, I will fight him head-on!" Xue Changfeng said, patting his chest.

"In the end, it's because someone died and his reputation was damaged. He probably won't pursue it. But it's hard to say what happened to Xiao Shuanzi."

"I will go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow morning to stop him, and I will take him to Jingzhao Mansion to change his confession!" Xue Changfeng said.

Outside the Duke of Yang's Mansion, Qin Fei dismounted his horse and personally helped Xue Hefeng dismount. At this time, Xue Hefeng's hair was messed up, his clothes were dirty, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his arms were still bleeding. He was really in a mess.

He got off the horse and his feet felt weak. Fortunately, Qin Fei held him up so he didn't hit the ground.

"His Royal Highness Prince Anqing, I am really grateful to you today, otherwise I would have been dismissed..." Xue Hefeng stopped mid-sentence, as if he did not dare to say more.

Qin Fei's mind suddenly changed, and then he sighed and said: "These Seventh Highnesses are really heavy-handed. Lord Xue is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he doesn't give him any face."

"To save face, he almost killed me!"

"Now that the Seventh Highness is handling government affairs with the Emperor, there is no guarantee that he will not avenge himself. Mr. Xue should be more careful."

Xue Hefeng frowned, "He shouldn't make things difficult for me..."

"What is he afraid of?"

Xue Hefeng was a little scared when he thought of Yan Mu's appearance when he was trying to cut off his hands and feet with a dagger, "Is it possible that no one can cure him?"
