C20 No One

Zhu Yiyan did not have the time to stop Li Su as she had already sent the carriage back into the City Lord's Mansion.

"I'll think twice about it this time." Zhu Yiyan grabbed Li Su's arm, and glanced at Lin Hong, who still had tears on her face.

"Could it be that I'm going to wrongly accuse him?"

Zhu Yiyan did not say anything else. After a while, he said, "Even so …"

"So it is the Son of Heaven. Even if he offends the law, he will still be punished like a commoner!"

Li Su was enveloped by a strong sense of justice, because no matter how Zhu Yiyan tried to calm her down, she could not hear him.

A voice in her mind was saying: We must seek justice for Lin Hong.

Yan Zijun was very surprised that Li Su had returned. Before he could ask, the other party had already questioned him loudly, "Yan Zijun, can you still be a man?"

At this moment, there were still other servants in the City Lord's Mansion. Yan Zijun gave them a look, and those servants left tactfully.

Yan Zijun looked at Lin Hong, who was still in tears, and had some thoughts. However, he pretended not to understand and asked, "General Li, did you come back?"

After being questioned like that, Li Su immediately became less imposing. Her mind regained some of her rationality, but right now, she was on the verge of being attacked. She had no choice but to do so.

"General." Lin Hong grabbed Li Su's sleeve, "It's just one-sided."

The word 'wishful thinking' made Li Su's mind buzz. She looked at Lin Hong embarrassedly, as if she had a knife in her head, "Hong'er, don't worry, I'll make the decision for you."

"It's true." Lin Hong lowered her head and said, "Sir, it is Hong'er who is too ashamed to continue living."

Just as she finished speaking, she rushed towards the nearest tree. If it were not for Zhu Yiyan, who was grabbing at her with quick eyes, Lin Hong's life would have been in danger.

This situation was something Li Su had never expected. She only wanted to seek justice for Lin Hong. She thought that Yan Zijun had bullied her.

Zhu Yiyan dragged Lin Hong, who was on the verge of fainting from his tears, and said, "General Li, let's return to the relay station first."

Before Li Su could react, Yan Zijun grabbed her wrist and said, "I still have something to say to your general."

Zhu Yiyan looked at Li Su, then said, "After I settle Lin Hong, I'll come pick up the general."

Yan Zijun brought Li Su to the study room and ordered some people to brew a pot of tea, "Calm down."

Li Su lowered her head and looked at the cup of tea in her teacup. She raised it and took a big gulp. However, the tea had just been brewed. The moment she took a sip, she knew that it was not scalding hot at all.

However, it seemed like there was no rule to it now. Li Su covered her mouth with her hand and forced herself to swallow it.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Li Su didn't understand what Yan Zijun meant by that. It was either referring to the reckless actions she did when she brought Lin Hong here, or the way she drank hot tea.

"Open your mouth and let me see."

Li Su was already very embarrassed, but Yan Zijun seemed to want to tease her, "No need to trouble yourself …"

Before she could finish her sentence, Yan Zijun had already pinched her chin and pried open her lips.

"Don't be so careless in the future."

This scene was extremely embarrassing, but at least she and Yan Zijun were the only two people in the study.

"Bro, what are you guys doing!"

Li Su was shocked and she almost jumped up from her chair. If she was unlucky, then she would really be afraid to do anything.

Yan Zijun calmly let go of his hand. Yan Zi, who had a look of disbelief on her face, and Ning Wanfeng, who seemed to be feeling pity for him, were standing outside the study.

Li Su wanted to explain, but the words were already on her lips when she turned around and thought, "Didn't I say there's no money left in this place?"

"Brother, you can't really …"

Yan Zijun acknowledged with a grunt.

Li Su also nodded in agreement. When she came back to her senses, Yan Zijun had already gently placed his hand on her shoulder, as if they were in love.

No, no, no, this wasn't her intention.

"Brother, you …" "You're going too far!" Yan Zi stamped her feet before turning around to chase after Ning Wanfeng, who was running away in grief.

It was obvious that Yan Zijun didn't like Ning Wanfeng, but he shouldn't use an innocent person like her as a shield. Li Su didn't want to get involved in this messy relationship, but Yan Zijun was determined to get him to.

"A'Zi has feelings for you." Yan Zijun was very calm as he said, "I'm afraid you can't be sincere towards her, right?"

"I …"

"If you also like Ah Zi, I can explain it for you. It was just a misunderstanding just now." After saying that, Yan Zijun was about to leave. Li Su anxiously stopped him. Yan Zijun turned his head, "What do you think?"

"It's not that I don't think Ah Zi is a good girl, but it's just that …" "His Majesty ordered me to come to the Sun Bian Pass just to help the mayor. It's not yet time for a girl to grow up."

It wasn't that Li Su didn't like Yan Zi, it was just that her current identity was her brother, Li Yang. Whether or not her brother would like Yan Zi would have to wait for him to come and change back to her.

"But even so, you shouldn't have hurt your sister so much."

Yan Zijun remained expressionless. "You think I'm using you?" Li Su did not understand the meaning behind his words. Could it be that Yan Zijun really liked her brother? Yan Zijun continued, "If I really let him go, that would hurt Ah Zi's heart."

"I see." After a moment's thought, Li Su stood up to leave.

"Wait." Yan Zijun asked Li Su to stay behind. Li Su looked puzzled. He sighed and explained, "Why do you think I left you alone?"

Li Su thought about it seriously, but she did not guess the answer. She only shook her head.

"I have investigated Lin Hong's background."

The reason why she first returned to the Mayor's mansion was for Lin Hong. What happened afterwards was not within her expectations, causing her to forget her original intentions. Now that she mentioned it again, she was stunned for a moment before recovering, "How is it, did you find her family?"

"It is indeed something interesting."

Yan Zijun pretended to be mysterious. Li Su had no choice but to ask, "How interesting?"

"No one in Ga Village has any impression of her," Yan Zijun glanced at Li Su, but seeing that she did not comment, he continued, "Logically speaking, there are women who do not leave their homes. However, the entire village knows nothing about a woman, don't you think that something is amiss?"

Li Su immediately understood what Yan Zijun meant, "Even if I don't know Lin Hong, what about her father?"

"Same."

Li Su pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you checked all of them?"

"When I sent all the girls back to the village that day, I became suspicious. An ordinary woman lost her family, and lost her only support. Shouldn't she be afraid first?"

Li Su recalled the scene from that day. Lin Hong's performance back then was indeed worth considering. However, this alone should not be enough to prove that she was suspicious, right?
