I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Fang Yuzhu looked at Li Mian with satisfaction: "I was worried that you would choose to compromise and return to the Xu family under a different name, but fortunately you did not let me down."

Li Mian smiled bitterly: "What can I do if I go back? There is no place for me in the Xu family now. Even if I can't let go of my children, what can I do? If I go back, I will not only be unable to protect them and help them, but I may also cause trouble for them."

Fortunately, her children have grown up and are no longer of primary school age. But if that were the case, she would go back no matter what.

"In that case, I will go back first. Someone will arrange the rest for you. No matter who asks you in the future, don't bring up the past. Madam Xu died four years ago. Whether you are called Li Mian or Liu Mian in the future, you have nothing to do with that madam." Fang Yuzhu was tall and had to look down at Li Mian when she stood up. She lowered her eyes and said, "Don't forget what I said just now. The words of resurrection from the dead cannot appear in Daxia again."

"Mian Niang understands." Li Mian followed Fang Yuzhu and saw her off. "Thank you, Princess. I will never forget your kindness."

"Just send you here. What's the point of saying favor or not? How you live in the future depends entirely on your own luck. You are originally a citizen of Da Xia, and you have never done anything wrong. Why should I force you to death?" Fang Yuzhu noticed the maid waiting beside the carriage and asked Li Mian to go back first.

She walked over there and looked at the accessories on her waist: "Are you a maid in Song Shiqiu's house? What are you doing here?"

What are we going to discuss again?

The maid bowed and told Fang Yuzhu exactly what Song Shiqiu had said: "My Lord asked me to tell you that the Miss Cui Jiu, who was staying at the mansion, has been sent to the Dali Temple. She has made some mistakes. If you want to know the whole story, go to the Dali Temple and ask."

Fang Yuzhu was not surprised at all, as if she had already guessed it: "I understand."

She got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive the carriage to the Dali Temple. Her personal maid sat beside her and looked at Fang Yuzhu worriedly: "The Prime Minister is the same. You knew that Miss Cui Jiu was your good friend, so why did you send her to the Dali Temple first?"

She felt that Cui Xian was a girl, and a descendant of a wealthy family. Even if she accidentally did something wrong, it should not be a serious mistake. Sending her to the Dali Temple was a bit of an exaggeration.

"Hechun, be careful with your words." Fang Yuzhu sighed imperceptibly, "Don't tell anyone about this matter. Don't mention it again in the future."

He Chun realized the seriousness of the situation. Although she still didn't know what happened, she still covered her lips in disbelief and nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

No one knows what mistake Miss Cui Jiu made, even the princess doesn't speak for her.

Fang Yuzhu asked them to wait outside, and went into the Dali Temple alone. She asked someone to take her to see Cui Xian. She nodded slightly to the jailer who was guarding Cui Xian and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"My Lord, I am sorry for the trouble." The jailer wiped the stool with a clean cloth and moved it over for her to sit on. "Then I will leave first. The princess will take her time to interrogate you."

Fang Yuzhu nodded softly and sat on the stool looking at Cui Xian who was locked in the cell. The interrogation had not started yet, so her clothes were still neat and tidy, as if she was an innocent woman who had been wrongly accused.

"Xianniang." She called Cui Xian as she did before.

Cui Xian looked at her through the iron door of the cell: "You seem to have known it for a long time, so you don't really believe me, so why did you let me live in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I thought that after you met Song Shiqiu, you would understand how terrible this person is. I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing." Fang Yuzhu smiled bitterly, "Things can turn around before they end, but why do you have to go down a dead end?"

"Dead end?" Cui Xian smiled gracefully, "Of course you don't understand. You have been loved and pampered since childhood. How can you understand my pain?"

"After what happened four years ago, the originally arranged marriage was cancelled. Do you know how much I have been ridiculed in the Cui family over the past few years? Of course you don't know, you and I are different."

"Just because of this, you want to use this method to drag the entire Cui family into the water?" Fang Yuzhu didn't understand why he acted so impulsively just because of such a small matter. "Could it be that all the people in the Cui family have wronged you?"

Cui Xian chuckled, not like someone with ulterior motives at all: "So what. I just didn't expect Song Shiqiu to not take this opportunity to settle accounts with the Cui family. You know, the Cui family was also involved in the Song family's affairs back then, right? Isn't this the best opportunity for revenge? He didn't do it. I'm really disappointed."

"Of course he won't." Fang Yuzhu had heard about the grievances between the Cui and Song families when she was a child. Although the Cui family was also a pusher, the Cui family was not wrong on their side. At that time, the Song family's crimes had already been determined, and in the eyes of the Cui family, they were traitors and rebels, so naturally they had to be liquidated.

But this is what a subject should do, and the Cui family is just doing what they should do.

"Xian Niang, I've always hoped that you had some unavoidable difficulties. If you tell me, I will help you." Fang Yuzhu turned her face away and closed her eyes, hoping to hear the answer she wanted to hear.

"Of course I know, you have been like this since you were a child." Cui Xian muttered in a low voice.

Fang Yuzhu just waited for her quietly without rushing her.

Cui Xian raised her head and said, "On the day my mother gave birth to me, a Taoist priest came to my house and said that if I was a girl, I would be an evil fetus and I needed to be burned to death in order to get rid of the evil spirits. Only then could the Cui family rise to prominence in the future."

"This is sheer nonsense!" Fang Yuzhu frowned more and more as she listened. "Besides, I have never heard of such rumors in all these years. You don't need to take it to heart."

Cui Xian laughed softly, tears streaming down her eyes: "Of course you don't know, because no one except the Cui family knows. If my parents hadn't died, I wouldn't know either."

But just like that, the cause of her parents' death was blamed on her, as if the accident was all caused by her, and the rest of the people were implicated by her parents. She suddenly became the disaster star hated by everyone in the Cui family.

"These past few years, I've been driven crazy. I was supposed to get married in half a year, but because of something like that, I became the unlucky star that brought death to my parents."

"A prominent family is nothing but a fig leaf." Cui Xian said as she rolled up her sleeves. The burns on her sleeves were completely different from the skin on her palms. They looked like they were stitched together with her jade-like palms. "On the seventh night after my parents' death, my cousin shouted 'get rid of the evil spirits' and hit me with a torch."

"I thought it was just a child's nonsense, so I just took the burns as childish talk. But who knew that was just the beginning." Cui Xian recalled everything that happened to her in the Cui family in the past few years. "Just because of a wandering Taoist priest's words when I was just born, my parents' death became my fault."

Everyone in the Cui family had heard this sentence, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark. More than ten years had passed and everyone had forgotten about the matter until the accident that year.

"Then do you know that what you did would implicate your parents?" Fang Yuzhu raised her hand and wanted to touch her, but she took it back, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Cui Xian looked at her and laughed softly, "They deserve to die too. Why did they leave me alone? Why did they hide it from me? Why didn't they just listen to that Taoist priest and burn me to death when I was just born? Why... Everything is their fault. They are all wrong."
