Chapter 594 She Should Be the Bad Guy
Xiao Yu said coldly, "Qin Yunyan, it was you who wanted to kidnap Xiaochu. I've already said that the Qin family's affairs are matters of the court. Your father embezzled money and harmed the people first. We are just investigating his crimes according to the law. Why are you so stubborn? Xiaochu is just a child. She doesn't know anything. How can you bear to harm her?"
After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Qin Yunyan hardened her heart and said, "Don't come over here."
Zhang Yumo watched Qin Yunyan pull out her hairpin and press it against Jiang Ruochu's face. She was so scared that she didn't dare to move. "Don't hurt Xiaochu. I can give you whatever you want. Please, she's still a child."
"who are you?"
Jiang Ruochu was not afraid either, and called out sweetly, "Mother."
She said to Qin Yunyan again, "Sister, my mother."
"Doesn't your mother dislike you?" Qin Yunyan said.
Jiang Ruochu said, "Mother likes Xiaochu. Grandmother said that mother likes Xiaochu the most."
Zhang Yumo didn’t understand how such a young child could know that she was distant from her. She just wasn’t used to having a child suddenly.
She just wasn't used to it yet. Xiaochu disappeared just now and she was very panicked. She had a strong desire to find Xiaochu in her mind, as if a voice was telling her that Xiaochu was her most precious daughter.
Xiao Yu thought Qin Yunyan wanted to hurt Xiaochu, and said, "I have always been your enemy. If you let Xiaochu go, I will give you my life."
He slowly approached Qin Yunyan, "Haven't you always wanted to seek revenge on me? Kill me to avenge your parents!"
"Don't come over here." Qin Yunyan never thought about really killing Xiao Yu. She just couldn't accept that Xiao Yu had deceived her. They were all from the same place and didn't have to be enemies.
At this moment, Jiang Ruochu suddenly burst into tears. She cried very sadly. Qin Yunyan was startled and quickly put down her hairpin, and asked anxiously: "What happened to Xiaochu?"
Jiang Ruochu cried and said, "Little Chuchu peed in his pants."
Xiao Yu didn't expect that Jiang Ruchu, who was usually not a crybaby, would suddenly cry because of wetting his pants. He also took the opportunity to grab Jiang Ruchu.
Qin Yunyan dodged subconsciously, and the next moment, she slipped and rolled down the slope. Before she fell, she handed Jiang Ruchu to Xiao Yu.
Zhang Yumo took Jiang Ruchu from Xiao Yu's hand and held her in her arms. Seeing her daughter crying sadly, her heart suddenly tightened, "Xiaochu is mother's most precious daughter."
Xiao Yu watched Qin Yunyan rolling down. He remembered that Qin Yunyan was protecting Xiaochu just now. Could it be that she didn't want to hurt Xiaochu at all? But why was Xiaochu in her hands?
Could it be that the people they just met took Xiaochu away, and it was Qin Yunyan who saved Xiaochu?
Xiao Yu had obviously misunderstood, he would not stand by and watch someone die, so he slowly went down along the vine and rescued Qin Yunyan.
Qin Yunyan thought she was dead, and she never expected that Xiao Yu would come down to save her.
She said, "Why did you save me? Just let me die and follow my parents and everything will be over."
Xiao Yu said, "I don't want to save you. Since you saved Xiaochu, I don't want to add another life for nothing."
Qin Yunyan was stunned. Did Xiao Yu think that she was the one who saved Jiang Ruchu?
She had fallen to this point and didn't want to lie anymore, "I didn't save Jiang Ruochu. I was planning to take her away to avenge her father, but when I was about to send her back to her grandmother, I happened to run into those people."
Zhang Yumo finally calmed Jiang Ruochu down and held her tightly in her arms. "When Miss Qin slid down the hillside just now, I saw that you didn't want to hurt Xiaochu. When you pointed the hairpin at her, you didn't really point it at Xiaochu's neck. Instead, you pressed your finger on the sharp part of the hairpin. Miss Qin shouldn't be a bad person."
For a moment, Qin Yunyan didn't know how to respond. Isn't she a bad person?
If possible, she would like to be a good person. Everyone has their own destiny. She is the daughter of the Qin family and the daughter of a corrupt official, so she should be a bad person.
She struggled to stand up from the ground. Her face and hands were scratched by branches and blood was left. She said coldly: "If Master Xiao doesn't arrest me, I will leave."
Xiao Yu paused. Her parents and the Qin family had already received the punishment they deserved. Qin Yunyan was only demoted to slavery. He had no reason to arrest Qin Yunyan now.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Yunyan turned around and left.
She took a few steps and then said, "Those people just now were Su Qingqing's people. They wanted me to go to the northwest with them."
She turned and stared at Jiang Ruochu, "Your Jiang family doesn't know how to teach your daughter. She is too credulous and will suffer when she grows up."
After saying this, she really left.
Jiang Ruochu shouted at her: "Beautiful sister."
Qin Yunyan didn't stop and limped forward.
The officers and soldiers also came down the slope, "I am helpless and let those people escape."
Xiao Yu said, "No problem, go back first and make plans later.
Zhang Yumo said, "Those people ran away. Will they embarrass Miss Qin if they find her?"
Xiao Yu didn't say anything either. He sent Zhang Yumo and Jiang Ruchu to the small road, and then asked the soldiers to send them back to the temple.
Looking at Qin Yunyan's figure getting farther and farther away, he suddenly followed her.
He caught up with Qin Yunyan and asked, "Where are you going? I'll send someone to take you there."
Qin Yunyan didn't expect that the great scholar Xiao, who was so cold to her, would suddenly show concern for her. "Where I go is none of your business. My purpose of coming to Shengjing is to kill you to avenge my parents. Unfortunately, I am too weak to kill you. I believe that one day I will kill you."
Xiao Yu's face was filled with black lines. He thought that Qin Yunyan only wanted to marry into a rich family and gain imperial power in her life.
He said, "Your family members were not beheaded, they were just exiled. If you want to see them, I can help you with that. If you want to avenge your parents, you should keep your life. Su Qingqing's eagle claws know you are still alive and will probably come after you again. If you are willing, I can arrange a place for you to hide from them temporarily and it won't be too late for you to leave later."
Qin Yunyan said, "Can you help me meet my brother? In the eyes of your Xiao family, our Qin family are all corrupt officials, which is what you scholars despise the most. Are you really willing to help me?"
"Your father has been executed, the stolen money your family embezzled has been confiscated, and the Qin family's case has been closed. It was my duty as the governor to investigate and punish corrupt officials." Xiao Yu added, "Miss Qin should not have done anything else that was against the will of heaven and earth except wanting to marry the emperor! I think there is nothing to be ashamed of, because it has nothing to do with me. Whether Miss Qin wants to leave or stay is also none of my business. I am just suggesting, not forcing."
He didn't want to say much to Qin Yunyan, but he saw that it might be difficult for her to live in the world as a woman.
Qin Yunyan was really dumbfounded when she saw him turn around and leave, and hurriedly said: "You can really let me see my brother."
Xiao Yu remained silent. In fact, the late emperor was behind the Qin family's case. Qin Tai's death was not unjust. He was indeed corrupt. Qin Yunyan was originally qualified to enter the palace and become a queen, but it was his meddling that blocked her future.
Qin Yunyan is not stupid either. She has nowhere to go now. As a slave, there is no place for her in this vast world.
So she limped and followed Xiao Yu again.
Xiao Yu learned from Qin Yunyan that the Su family's Eagle Claw was going to the northwest, and he wanted to send this news to Jiang Jinyan and the emperor.
