Chapter 70 Lu Yuan is released from prison
"Sister, how are you?" Xuan Jiuqing asked Princess Nanyang with concern.

The doctor has already cured Princess Nanyang of the poison.

Although the poison had been removed, Princess Nanyang still felt sore all over and very uncomfortable.

"Brother, my face, will it leave scars on my face?"

Princess Nanyang asked with great concern.

"Don't worry, Princess. The thief applied a secret medicine on your face. Although I cannot research the formula, judging from the efficacy of the medicine, not only will your skin not be left with scars, I'm afraid your skin will be even better than before."

The doctor said to Princess Nanyang.

He was Xuan Jiuqing's confidant, so he dared to answer.

Xuan Jiuqing saw the scar on Princess Nanyang’s face and asked everyone to leave.

"Nanyang, Brother Nine has prepared for you the pear blossom cakes that you loved to eat when you were a child. You were frightened today, so maybe you will feel better after eating something."

"Brother, you clearly know that my favorite food is sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I am your sister, and the mole on my chest is still there. The thief certainly doesn't know it."

Princess Nanyang said this while trying to pull down her clothes at her chest.

Xuan Jiuqing stopped him and rolled up Princess Nanyang's sleeves. The scar on Princess Nanyang's arm was still there.

This is the scar left by Princess Nanyang when she was a naughty child and climbed a tree.

Xuan Jiuqing remembered the shape of the scar. Other scars were easy to imitate, but this scar could deceive other people, but not him.

As for moles, they are also easy to imitate.

"Brother, don't worry, I am who I am, but I suspect that they may have someone lurking around me, so that they can imitate my every move and replace me quietly.

The woman who took me away today was so jealous that she did such a stupid thing."

Princess Nanyang did not say that she wanted to return to the capital, because she knew that if she returned to the capital at this time, it would be very disadvantageous to Xuan Jiuqing.

Xuan Jiuqing has found nothing and accomplished nothing now, and was frightened by a small remnant of the Rakshasa Sect.

Then Xuan Jiuqing would definitely have no chance of getting that position.

Although Princess Nanyang was very scared, she still did not ask to return to the capital at this time. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to capture the remnants of the Rakshasa Sect.

Because only in this way can Xuan Jiuqing achieve merit.

Even if they didn't find the Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain, at least they had captured the remnants of the Rakshasa Cult, so they didn't end up getting nothing.

"What do you mean, sister?"

Xuan Jiuqing actually already knew what Princess Nanyang meant, but he has always been hypocritical, so he naturally would not say this out loud in person.

"Brother, use me as bait! In fact, the best way to replace me is to lurk beside me and replace me quietly. Brother can block Taohua County, order Lu Changqing to arrest suspicious people throughout the city, and let most of the guards who protect me wait outside the mansion."

"There are already guards protecting you in the mansion, so there is no need to be outside. The person ambushing beside you is most likely one of the maids. As long as we don't check the maids and servants in the mansion openly, we won't alert the enemy. This will also make you safer. I will let my secret guards protect you closely.

Remember, you must not trust the people around you too much, even the senior palace maids. You never know when they have been disguised by the Rakshasa Cult."

Xuan Jiuqing spoke to Princess Nanyang with great concern.

At this time, he also thought that the Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain might not be found, so the only thing he could do now was to capture the Rakshasa Sect.

He hopes to obtain the secret medicine of Rakshasa Sect to restore his Dantian and meridians.

It would be a great achievement if I could present this medicine to my father at that time.

…………

On the second day, after Xu Qiuyue's complaint was presented to the magistrate of the neighboring county, the magistrate of Meihua County tried Lu Yuan's case.

Lu Yuan was released according to the law. Xu Qiuyue's reason was very sufficient. Lu Changqing and Lu Yuan were close relatives. In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Changqing was not qualified to try the case.

Xuan Jiuqing and Princess Nanyang were so focused on the Rakshasa Sect that they had no time to bother with these things at the moment.

The case was tried by the county magistrate of Meihua County, which was a good opportunity for the other party to send troops to reinforce Taohua County and jointly try the case.

The magistrate of Meihua County also wanted to climb up the ladder. This was a major case, and it didn't happen in his Meihua County. It wouldn't affect him if it wasn't investigated.

If the murderer is caught, it will be a great achievement and he will definitely be promoted.

So after Xu Qiuyue handed him the complaint, he immediately took it and rushed to Taohua County.

Lu Yuan was released.

Some people are happy, some people are unhappy.

In Xujia Village, a sad atmosphere enveloped the entire Xu family.

When Xu's mother received the news of Xu Chunhua's tragic death, her eyes were filled with uncontrollable grief and anger.

When she heard that it might be Lu Yuan who did it and that Lu Yuan was released, she felt as if a fire was ignited in her heart and she frantically wanted to go to Lu's house to find the murderer.

Why, why could Lu Yuan be released even though he harmed her daughter?

Whenever she thought of this, it was as if a huge stone had fallen on Xu's heart, pressing on her and causing her heart to ache.

She could no longer control her emotions and just wanted to find the murderer who caused Xu Chunhua's death and seek justice for her.

Father Xu knew the truth of the matter very well. He socialized outside all year round, so how could he not know the truth?

What's more, Lu Yuan's lawyer Wei Yunsheng took him to see Xu Chunhua's body and gave him one thousand taels of silver.

Tell him not to take away Xu Chunhua's body so that the government office will have enough time to find the real murderer.

Xu's father felt that Xu Chunhua's death was in vain and unlucky, and that Xu Chunhua had already married out, and burying her in the Xu family's ancestral tomb would affect the family's fortune.

So Xu's father never told Xu's mother the news of Xu Chunhua's death.

He felt that Xu Chunhua's body was worth one thousand taels, and the government also promised to help bury Xu Chunhua.

This will also save some money on the coffin.

He knew that it was not Lu Yuan who killed Xu Chunhua, but the notorious Rakshasa Sect. He could feel the murderous aura just by looking at the corpse.

Moreover, he understood that it was not wise for the Xu family to make enemies with the Lu family. Most importantly, he accepted money from the Lu family.

We can’t let Xu’s mother make a fuss about this matter.

"If you don't think about the Xu family, you should think about Qiuyue. Chunhua is dead, and you only have Qiuyue as your daughter. Lu Yuan didn't kill the person. Lu Yuan is innocent. He just sent the person back to the Ninth Prince's residence out of kindness.

Qiuyue will continue to live in the Lu Mansion from now on.

How is Qiuyue going to live in the future if you make trouble like this?

Even if she doesn't acknowledge me, she is still my daughter and you, and she has my blood flowing in her veins."

Father Xu grabbed Mother Xu's hand and spoke to her.

Father Xu really didn't want to make a fuss.

He couldn't afford to lose that person.

What he said was not just because of Lu Yuan's one thousand taels of silver.

There was also some sincerity in his heart, because Xu Qiuyue was his daughter, and he also had to save his face. One thousand taels was enough for him to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life, plus the gold that Xuan Jiuqing had given him before.
