The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 276 The Hero Saves the Beauty

When Huang Shuo mentioned Tian Xueyan, he immediately sighed as he thought of the lawsuit.

"Talking about her is such a headache. I just saved someone and she wanted to repay me, so I let her follow me. But then I realized I saved the wrong person."

When Zhao Xuan heard what Huang Shuo said, she was confused. Could it be that the hero who saved the beauty made the wrong choice?

Unless the hero is not a hero and the beauty is not beautiful.

But if her father isn't a hero, who is? His unfathomable martial arts skills aside, his devotion to his master and herself is unmatched.

There must be something wrong with the beauty!

"what happened?"

Zhao Xuan asked hurriedly.

"I went to Yue State to look for you. I didn't know you lived in the Honglu Temple. I thought you lived in the palace. I searched for you in the palace all day, but I kept getting lost."

Huang Shuo scratched his head as he recalled the messy palace buildings of the Yue Kingdom.

"One night, I accidentally broke into the girl's room in the middle of the night. She was taking a shower. Later, I got lost and accidentally broke into the girl's room again. She was sleeping..."

Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua almost dropped their jaws in shock, staring at Huang Shuo in amazement.

Huang Shuo didn't notice the expressions of the two people and continued:

"She begged me to save her, saying that she had witnessed the Yue Emperor, Tian Shang, who had now ascended the throne, personally murder her father and wanted to kill her to silence her. She cried so miserably that I had no choice but to take her out of the palace."

Huang Shuo looked up at Zhao Xuan with a guilty look.

"Then I brought her to you. She said she was the Princess of Yue. You are also the Princess of Yue now. How about we lock her up in the Xianwang Mansion? That way she won't reveal your secret!"

Huang Shuo gave Zhao Xuan some thoughtful advice, smiling in a flattering manner.

Zhao Xuan looked at Huang Shuo with both laughter and tears, complaining about his failure.

"That's not the point, Dad!"

Huang Shuo didn't understand what Zhao Xuan meant at all, so he didn't hesitate to ask.

"Huh? Then what's the point?"

Zhao Xuan counted on her fingers and analyzed them one by one to Huang Shuo.

"You saw her bathing and sleeping, this is the key point. You have to be responsible for this girl! The most important thing is that Tian Shang actually killed the king to ascend to the throne, and you brought back an eyewitness. This is the key point of the key points!

Whether she will reveal my secret is not important compared to the two key points I mentioned, Dad, do you understand?"

After several years of experience, especially this trip to the Kingdom of Yue, Zhao Xuan's horizons have been broadened and her perspective is very different from before.

In the past, she might have worried that the Yue princess brought back by Huang Shuo would be harmful to her, but now she cares more about the identity of this Yue princess as an eyewitness.

Another thing is naturally that he is worried about his father's lifelong affairs. A girl's most private activities, such as bathing and sleeping, have been seen by his father. If his father is not responsible, who will be responsible?

But Huang Shuo was obviously not interested in killing the king to gain the throne. Indeed, this matter was far away from him. He cared more about the word "responsible" in Zhao Xuan's words.

Huang Shuo really couldn't understand. He was already very responsible by lending a helping hand to a stranger he met by chance. How else could he be more responsible?

"She never asked me to be responsible! She only asked me to repay her kindness!"

"This is completely different. I won't argue with you anymore. Where did she go?"

"I asked the maid to take me to the toilet..."

As Huang Shuo was speaking, he looked up and saw Tian Xueyan walking towards the side hall, and quickly pointed towards the door.

"She has come back."

Huang Shuo himself didn't realize the joy in his tone, but Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua heard it keenly. They looked at each other and looked towards the door at the same time.

There was a girl about twenty years old, of medium build, with a plump and graceful figure standing at the door. She was looking at Zhao Xuan curiously with a pair of bright eyes.

Through the contact with Huang Shuo these days, Tian Xueyan deeply understood that in Huang Shuo's heart, his daughter always comes first.

unless……

The mountains are gone, the rivers are dry, the winter thunders and the summer snows, the sky and the earth merge, haha, Huang Shuo will not break up with his daughter!

Tian Xueyan was very envious of the father-daughter relationship between them. The fact that Princess Xian went to the Kingdom of Yue to meet Tian Shang as a fake princess and remained unharmed made Tian Xueyan admire her even more.

She was very wary of Tian Shang, otherwise she would not have risked everything to escape from the palace and come to Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, if you want to live a peaceful life in the future, the attitude of the virtuous princess towards you is very important.

Tian Xueyan weighed the matter over and over in her mind and immediately made up her mind. She bowed deeply to the radiant woman in front of her and spoke frankly.

"You must be the daughter of Mr. Huang. My real name is Tian Xueyan, and now I change it to Yang Xueyan. I don't care who you are. Tian Shiliu and I have never even met each other, let alone have any sisterly relationship!

All I need to know is that you are the daughter of my benefactor. I followed my benefactor here, hoping you would give me a place to stay."

Zhao Xuan was speechless for a moment. She spread her hands, feeling speechless.

Some time ago, the former Crown Prince of Yue, Tian Yuan, had just received the protection of his father, the Emperor, and the Xia Kingdom, and had changed his name and surname to live in seclusion in the mountains. Now, her father has given her a princess of Yue...

Judging from what Tian Xueyan said, she didn't want to return to the Kingdom of Yue. She even gave up her status as a noble princess and wanted to seek the protection of Prince Xian's Mansion.

Yes, the prince of Yue was being hunted down like a stray dog, and the princess of Yue was not noble at all. There was Tian Shiliu before and Tian Xueyan after. Zhao Xuan was no longer surprised.

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Zhanghua with a strong inquiring look in her eyes. She really couldn't make a decision on this matter.

Gu Zhanghua was silent for a moment, then asked Tian Xueyan directly.

"Did you really see Tian Shang kill his father?"

"Yes!"

Tian Xueyan took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the fear rising in her heart. At that time, this fear was like a shadow and could not be completely resolved in a day or two.

She clenched her fists, knowing that although Huang Shuo had saved her, the decision of the virtuous king and his wife was just the beginning of her road to survival. If the virtuous king and his wife opposed her staying with Huang Shuo, Huang Shuo would definitely not have the slightest pity for her.

This thought suddenly hurt her heart, but this was the reality. Huang Shuo was right. He had rescued her from the palace, which was a great favor.

Everything that happened afterwards was just her way of saving herself. She used little tricks to stay close to Huang Shuo, which allowed her to leave Yue State and reach Xia State, away from danger, and look forward to rebirth!

Thinking of this, Tian Xueyan did not hide anything.

"Tian Shang killed my father himself. We no longer have any brotherly feelings. If he knew I was there, he would definitely kill me to silence me! Fortunately, Hero Huang saved me from the flames..."

Tian Xueyan gritted her teeth and knelt directly in front of Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan.

"I beg the wise king and his wife to protect my daughter!"

"What are you doing? My daughter and son-in-law are not heartless!"

Huang Shuo walked up to Tian Xueyan, pulled her up, and brushed the dirt off her skirt.

"Tian Shang is not a good thing. You are a good girl. You can embroider, make money, and buy me food and wine. Good people will be rewarded. You will definitely be very happy in the future."

Huang Shuo's words were plain and unsentimental, but to Tian Xueyan, they were like a spring of spiritual energy gushing out, watering her anxious heart.

The wasteland gradually turned green.

Gu Zhanghua thought about it again and again and decided that this matter ultimately needed his father's approval.

"Miss Xueyan, would you be willing to come with me to the palace tomorrow to inform my father of all this so that I can make arrangements for your future life?"

Tian Xueyan bowed to Gu Zhanghua decisively.

"It is my duty! I thank the prince for his protection!"

Tian Xueyan was dressed in cloth and had a straw hairpin. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary village girl. Zhao Xuan sighed in her heart and couldn't help but blurt out.

"Who doesn't want to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth? But in your country of Yue, being a prince or princess isn't as good as living a happy life as an ordinary citizen. Everyone is so frustrated!"

Who says it isn't? Zhao Xuan hit the nail on the head, earning Tian Xueyan a wry smile.

Comparison is the thief of joy. The virtuous princess in front of her is a fake princess. She has heard from Huang Shuo that she and Huang Shuo have been displaced and living in seclusion in Heyan Village since childhood. Now she has a noble status and is loved by her husband, which is something she dare not hope for.

She didn't feel jealous, she just felt a little sad.
