Jing Wan'er heard Pei Tan calling her and had been prepared. She lowered her head and followed Pei Tan out of the house.

  The two arrived at the courtyard, Pei Tan was still dressed in a light and casual attire, he turned around to glance at Jing Wanyu who stood before him.

  Jing Wan'er's eyebrows and eyes were clear and calm as she said to Pei Tan, "Sir."

  Pei Tan looked at her and asked, without any surprise: "Is your father doing well?"

  Jing Wan'er lowered her head and looked at her shoes for a long time before saying, "Thank you, sir, for your concern. My father... is not seriously injured."

  Having suffered for so long in exile, anyone would have been severely traumatized. For the Jing family, however, just being able to survive was already the best outcome.

  Jing Wan'er is in the capital, could it be that other members of the Jing family have also...? Just as Pei Tan was thinking this, Jing Wan'er said: "Father and all our relatives have returned to our hometown to settle down. As expected, they won't come to the capital again in this lifetime."

  Pei Tan's eyes were deep and profound: "Are you a person?" A lone figure arrived in Chang'an.

  Now that family members have returned by your side, why return to Chang'an again?

  Jing Wan'er suddenly smiled: "Did that Lord Geng mention on his way here that he had spoken with Your Excellency?"

  Geng Wenzhong is the kind of person who would reveal everything.

  "Tell me yourself," Pei Tan said, staring at her. Confession and conviction have different natures of guilt.

  Pei Tan said this is more and more like Da Li Temple Master.

  Jing Wan'er couldn't help but smile slightly in her heart, and after a moment, she said, "Wan'er just remembered that there are still things to do in Chang'an."

  This explanation, Pei Tan didn't want to believe. What thing, was worth letting her fall into this whirlpool again.

  "Looking at her in a brand new wedding dress, Pei Tan couldn't help but ask: 'How did you end up entangled with the Li family?'"

  Lying there half-dead was Li Xiwei, the eldest son of the Zhaojun Li family. He was a carefree and dissolute person, but no one dared to really disobey him. After all, the Zhaojun Li family was not something that ordinary people could shake.

  Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan with a calm and open expression: "It wasn't me who pursued him, it was he who forcibly married me."

  It's different, she and Shi Wan are both victims.

  "Where is the real bride?" Pei Tan stared at Jing Wanyan's face.

  As expected of Pei Tan, one glance and he could see through the trick. Jing Wanyu blinked her eyes, "Wanyu doesn't know."

  Jing Wan'er could only look at Pei Tan with her eyes, Pei Tan's face was extremely pale, and she couldn't see any joy or anger. But Pei Tan's appearance always made Jing Wan'er feel uncertain, and she didn't know what to do.

  "Boiled pancake, Xishi, Shiwan. You and she exchanged identities, how could you not know where she is hiding now?"

  Jing Wan'er knew that Pei Tan had already seen through her, so she smiled and asked him directly: "Sir, are you asking this to inquire about the case?"

  If Pei Tan can take over, everything will be easy to say.

  Pei Tan paused for a moment, his eyes dimly lit: "This case is not within the jurisdiction of the Grand Justice Temple, I will not intervene."

  Jing Wan'er should be very clear about it, during those days in the Dali Temple, didn't she understand? Otherwise, how could she have chosen to use this method to meet Pei Tan.

  But when Pei Tan said she didn't care, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

  "But sir, if you don't take on this case, Shi Wan and Fan Ziye... won't last much longer."

  What a huge force Zhao Jun Li is, how could they possibly let go of two young people with no background or foundation on the streets of Chang'an?

  Pei Tan stared at Jing Yuanyu, "As a judge of the Supreme Court, I must not take the lead in abusing power."

  There are too many poor people who have been oppressed in this world, and there are also wronged souls who died unjustly. You can take care of the first day, but you can't take care of the fifteenth.

  Jing Wan'er stared blankly at Pei Tan.

  Looking at him like this, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

  Pei Tan stared at Jing Wanyu with his eyes fixed on her: "You can't even protect yourself, why get involved?"

  Jing Wan'er's situation was even worse than those two people, but she had no self-control and actually took the initiative to get involved in this family feud.

  Jing Wan'er slowly smiled as she looked at Pei Tan: "Wan'er thinks that even if it's inevitable to die, being able to help one or two people before death is good."

  For example, Shi Wan and Fan Ziyong, this pair of poor mandarin ducks, Li Xiu's current appearance is precisely to spare Shi Wan from suffering his poison.

  Pei Tan stared at her, no matter when, Jing Wanyu was always Jing Wanyu, never changing.

  "Is Shiweng the reason you entered Chang'an?" Does Jing Wanyi still have something to do with Shiweng?

  At first, the palace maids rescued by Jing Yuanyuan, after Zhongzong's great amnesty, more than half of them left the city. Moreover, since the Jing family had already been pardoned, these women no longer needed to stay in Chang'an.

  Only Shi Wan, because of the entanglement in her heart, refused to leave.

  Jing Wan'er fell silent for a moment again, and with a faint smile on her face, she looked at Pei Tan: "Sir has always been the most clear about me. If you've decided to intervene, how could you give up halfway?"

  Their conversation was like a thin veil, which could be pierced by anyone who reached out.

  Moreover, if Shi Wan married Fan Ziyuan smoothly, Yuanniang would also have achieved her goal and was ready to leave Chang'an as if she had never been there.

  But good things often come with trouble, and out comes a rogue.

  Pei Tan's eyes couldn't help but fluctuate at this, so he said that if he could see her again, he should thank Shi Wen.

  "Tell me," Pei Tan looked at her, "where did you hide Shi Wan?"

  Xī Huā is the one who's truly related to this case, Jiāng Yuàn'ér inserting herself like this only serves to give her own life an extra thread of connection to the Lǐ family.

  Ke Jing Wan'er was indeed like what she said herself - she would never betray Xi Wen's whereabouts, even if it meant her own death.

  She smiled at Pei Tan.

  Pei Tan felt the unsmooth air in his chest rising again, and he looked at the woman who seemed to be planning to remain silent, saying: "The Thousand Ox Guards will search every street and alleyway one by one, and they absolutely won't let a single person get away."

  Even if the common people live in Chang'an City, this city's fortress is still under the jurisdiction of Qian Niu Wei. Can a fly truly fly out of Chang'an City?

  Jing Wan'er looked at Pei Tan, her eyes softening: "Sir, Wan'er understands your abilities, but as for Shi Yun, you really can't find him."

  She was confident that as long as she didn't spit it out, even if Pei Tan was the most formidable, he wouldn't be able to find Shi Wan like he did with other cases.

  "If Shi Wan can't be found, you'll be locked up in the prison of Jingzhao Prefecture." Pei Tan also furrowed his brow.

  But she only saw a red glow on the girl's face. It was as if Jing Wanyu felt that forcing Pei Tan like this was a bit embarrassing for her.

  It's all because she has a deep understanding of Pei Tan.

  "Wan'er is not afraid."

  Pei Tan doesn't intervene in this case, Jing Yuanyu will remain silent all the way to the end. But if Pei Tan intervenes in this case, it will lead to more entanglements...

  Pei Tan was silent for a long time, "You follow me back to the Da Li Temple first."

  Jing Wan'er blinked her eyes and looked at Pei Tan.

  "Even if I were to take over the case, I would need to report it to the Ministry of Punishment. It's not something that can be done with just a word from me."

  Jing Wan'er's eyes finally lit up, "But, will that Lord Geng agree to take me away?"

  Geng Wenzhong was probably already mentally condemning Jing Yuanyuan, so why would he give up on this suspect who had fallen into his lap.

  "Don't worry about this." Pei Tan said calmly. He was still able to protect Jing Yuanniang.

  Jing Wan'er's eyes flashed, and although she had already shed her slave status, she still bowed to Pei Tanfu as before: "Wan'er... thank you, sir."

  Only Pei Tan is the adult in her heart.

  Just then, a shrill cry was heard inside the house: "Li Lang woke up!!!"

  The concubines were originally half-dead and leaning against the wall, crying and self-pitying. Suddenly, with a turn of their eyes, they saw that Li Xiu on the bed had opened his eyes.

  "Ah!!!!!" Another scream, accompanied by a puff of fragrant powder, as one of the concubines rushed towards the bed.

  "Li Lang! Li Lang! You've worried me to death!"

  The concubines who were squatting in the corner of the wall suddenly seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and rushed over.

  "What can our household do without you?" One concubine glared at the first one to react, and another concubine, unwilling to show weakness, burst into tears.

  The house was so lively it seemed as if the roof would be blown off.

  Only one of the concubines in red clothes came forward, violently pushing open the two concubine rooms beside Li Xiuzhi's body. Tears poured out along with her body: "I almost followed Master Li..." The previously brave body was as soft as a willow leaf, and she collapsed onto Li Xiuzhi's body.

  As for Li Xiu himself, he stared blankly with a pair of eyes and remained unresponsive to everything around him for quite some time.

  It's fortunate that he didn't have any other reactions, because the mere fact of him waking up had already shocked everyone in the room to death, or rather, everyone except Pei Tan and Jing Wanyan.

  Geng Wenzhong was so excited that his whole body trembled as if he had epilepsy. Unexpectedly, Li Gongzi actually came back to life, and his official hat was saved.

  However, Jing Wanyu stood by the door. She suddenly smiled and looked up at Pei Tan, saying: "Sir, it's better for me to go out now."

  Her voice was very soft, and with all the commotion in the room right now, no one would pay attention to her.

  However.

  Li Xiu finally made a move at this time, first his eyeballs had some reaction, moving left and right, which made those concubines think they saw him, each one excitedly shouting again: "Li Lang! Li Lang!"

  ……

  "I am Jin Yu Ah Liang!"

  "Li Lang, I am your fish..."

  The woman in the backyard, competing for favor is an instinct. As soon as she saw that her golden mountain was not dead, she immediately used all her skills to express her unwavering dedication to Li Xiuzi.

  And these women seemed to have fulfilled their wishes and called Li Xiuzhi's soul back. Li Xiuzhi suddenly sat up from the bed.

  It's like a fake resurrection, someone who was thought to be dead suddenly comes back to life.

  But those concubines didn't care, they thought Li Lang wasn't dead and their good days of wearing gold and silver were back again.

  Jing Wan'er stood shoulder to shoulder with Pei Tan, watching everything that was happening by the bed.

  Li Xiu looked around at the familiar, charming faces of his concubines and the sparkle in his eyes seemed to shine brighter. His first words were: "......Where is this?"
