"Are there any descendants of the Huo family?" Liu Yuefu asked.

When exiled to a place as far away as Lingnan, the escorts would whip the prisoners, and often only one in ten would be left alive when they arrived at the destination of exile.

"Yes. The person is in the capital." Ji Sheng said.

"In the capital?" Liu Yuefu's mind raced, "Is it because of the amnesty for the Queen Mother's birthday at the end of last year?"

Ji Sheng nodded, "Exactly."

"How many people are left in the Huo family now?" Liu Yuefu asked.

"There are only two siblings left." Ji Sheng replied.

"Make arrangements and bring them to see me." Liu Yuefu said.

Ji Sheng responded and went down after receiving the order.

The next morning, in a private room of the teahouse opposite Ruyifang.

Liu Yuefu arrived early.

After a while, a handsome young man in linen clothes pushed the door open.

The young man is tall and slender, with a heroic look between his brows.

Liu Yuefu smiled and said, "Are you from the Huo family?"

The boy looked alert, "Who are you?"

"I am Liu Erniang, the daughter of the Minister of Works Liu family. I have some friendship with the wife of the Prince of Anyuan." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

In fact, Liu Yuefu, the wife of the Prince of Anyuan, had only met him twice at palace banquets and had only said hello.

But she meant no harm. If I rashly said, "I sympathize with your sister's situation and want to help you."

How could a person who had a blood feud and had experienced all the ups and downs in the world believe her?

Liu Yuefu can't say that my past life experience is similar to your sister's...

When the young man heard Liu Yuefu say this, his expression relaxed, but he still looked at her warily.

Liu Yuefu said with a smile, "Please sit down first, and we will talk while we sit down."

The boy then sat down.

"When did you come to the capital?" Liu Yuefu greeted him.

"I just came to the capital with my sister recently. My sister is still young and can't walk fast, so we have only been in the capital for a short time." said the young man.

Liu Yuefu thought about it for a while, and decided to speak out, "Have you been to the Marquis' Mansion? Did you know that the Crown Prince's wife was in trouble?"

The boy frowned, then suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Something happened to my elder sister? What happened to her?"

The young man murmured, "No wonder, no wonder they didn't inform me when I went to Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, but just pushed us and told us to leave quickly."

"I originally thought that my sister and I were dressed too shabby, and those servants took advantage of their power to bully us..."

"The wife of the Marquis Anyuan has passed away. Please accept our condolences." Liu Yuefu said softly.

The young man's eyes suddenly turned red, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed out. He immediately wiped them with his sleeves, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Liu."

Liu Yuefu shook her head to indicate that it was okay.

"How did my elder sister die?" asked the boy.

The Huo family was guilty, but not as guilty as the married daughter. He was so glad that his elder sister was fine.

But why did the elder sister still die?

Why?

"I only know that your elder sister donated all her dowry to the Marquis' Mansion. Because the Marquis' Mansion was unable to make ends meet and could not get any money from your elder sister, they wanted to marry another rich girl to solve the current debt crisis of the Marquis' Mansion. In addition, your elder sister did not have the support of the Huo family, so the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion had no scruples. I guess it was the Anyuan Marquis's son who ordered someone to kill her." Liu Yuefu said in a deep voice.

"The son of Marquis Anyuan fell in love with Madam Wei Suxin, the daughter of the wealthy Wei family, who happens to be a good friend of mine. So by chance I got to know this secret." Liu Yuefu continued.

"So that's how it is. Thank you for telling me this. I am Huo Yongyi from the Huo family. I will remember this kindness." The young man said in a resounding voice.

"This is not a favor at all. I just told you a piece of news. You don't have to take it seriously." Liu Yuefu said in a gentle voice.

"I was just thinking about your elder sister, and when I heard that your brother and sister came to Beijing, how could I not talk about this blood feud? How could Madam Huo die in vain?" Liu Yuefu continued.

"Thank you." The young man bowed to the ground.

"I have said everything I wanted to say. If Mr. Huo has nothing else to do, I will leave now." Liu Yuefu said goodbye.

"Let's go together. I'll see Madam Liu off." Huo Yongyi said.

Liu Yuefu nodded, and the two of them went downstairs together.

Unexpectedly, Liang Jiuan was sitting in a private room on the third floor with the best view from the window.

The carved windows on both sides of this private room were wide open.

He saw clearly the scene of Liu Yuefu being sent downstairs by Huo Yongyi.

Liang Jiuan suddenly felt jealous.

"Xiao Hong, go and invite Madam Liu Er." Liang Jiuan seemed to squeeze these words out from between his teeth.

"Okay." Xiao Hong responded and went.

When he arrived, Liu Yuefu and Huo Yongyi had already said goodbye.

Liu Yuefu was about to get in the car and leave, but was stopped by Xiao Hong.

"Madam Liu, His Royal Highness Prince Jing invites you." Xiao Hong said.

If Liu Yuefu goes left, Xiao Hong goes left. If Liu Yuefu goes right, Xiao Hong also goes right.

Liu Yuefu ran quickly to break through, but Xiao Hong, who was more skilled, flew over to stop her.

Liu Yuefu was helpless, "I'll go up with you."

The two of them went up to the private room on the second floor.

Liang Jiuan sat by the window on a carved wooden couch. In the couch there was a square table with fruits, snacks and tea on it.

Liang Jiuan held a wooden paper fan in his hand, which was not opened. His right elbow was placed on the square table, and he was holding the fan to support his cheek, which was as pale and delicate as always.

It was actually the same white as the paper fan in his hand, but it was slightly transparent.

When he saw Liu Yuefu and the other person come in, he sat up straight and took the paper fan in his hand.

"My daughter greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing and pays her respects." Liu Yuefu bowed, her attitude polite and distant, different from the past.

Liu Yuefu still remembered what Liang Jiuan said last time, "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" When he said this, his indifference deeply hurt Liu Yuefu.

How come someone confessed yesterday and regretted it the next day? Is teasing people fun?

Liang Jiuan felt uncomfortable and even more jealous when he heard Liu Yuefu talking like this.

Liu Yuefu was chatting and laughing with the man, gentle and friendly, but when it came to her, she was polite and distant.

"Why are you talking to Master like this now?" Liang Jiuan said somewhat indignantly.

"Then how should I talk to His Highness?" Liu Yuefu asked back.

"Can't you just talk to me nicely?" Liang Jiuan frowned.

"Am I not talking nicely to His Highness?" Liu Yuefu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Are you talking nicely? You are obviously angry with me." Liang Jiuan said helplessly.

"Since Your Highness knows this, why bother looking for me to cause trouble?" Liu Yuefu said.

"Look at you, you don't even call me Master now." Liang Jiuan said.

"After all, I have forgotten many things from the past." Liu Yuefu said.

Liang Jiuan knew that she was teasing him. She was still sulking because he confessed to her that day and then rejected her the next day, but he had no choice.

"Who was the man who just went down with you?" Liang Jiuan felt jealous inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked calmly.
