On the morning of the next day, Feng Yan woke up very early.

When she and Wei Xingzhen went to the backyard and took care of the flowers and plants there as usual, both of them found that the Feng Mansion's secret whistle seemed to be slightly less than in the previous few days, and the arrangement was adjusted significantly compared to before.

Wei Xingzhen took the time to accompany Feng Yan in the Feng family's courtyard, and Feng Yan's expression gradually became solemn.

——I think Du Kuangfeng’s plan may be today.

During these days, Feng Yan met Xiaoqi several times. Sometimes she went to Xiaoqi's yard, and sometimes Xiaoqi came to see her. Every time, Feng Yan would remind her, "Don't go out."

Although Xiaoqi was reckless, she really realized something through Feng Yan's repeated profound suggestions. Last night, the two sat together to drink tea. Xiaoqi held the cup and asked, "Sister, you have been telling me not to go out these days. Is there something going on recently?"

This reaction made Feng Yan feel very pleased.

"I can't say it." Feng Yan replied.

Xiaoqi thought for a while, "...Did you swear to anyone?"

Feng Yan was filled with joy in her heart, but she could only shake her head again and forcefully sigh, "I can't say it either."

"Then I understand!" Xiaoqi put down his cup at that time, "Sister, don't worry. Don't say that it was the past few days. Even the God of Daluo came to invite me in the past half month, and I wouldn't go out."

Thinking of Xiaoqi last night, Feng Yan breathed a little relieved.

I hope that no matter what happened today, she could remember this conversation last night.

On the way back to the house, Feng Yan saw many servants walking towards the kitchen with fresh meat and vegetables. When the servants saw her and Wei Xingzhen, they all stopped to salute.

“…There are guests at home again today?”

"When it comes to the eldest lady, the master and his wife gave an order yesterday, saying that Mr. Mei will come to the house tonight and will hold a banquet for a banquet."

Feng Yan nodded and sighed - Yes, Mr. Mei is coming tonight.

When the servants left, Wei Xingzhen and Feng Yan also walked towards their courtyard again.

On the way, Wei Xingzhen glanced at Feng Yan, "Why did A Yan sigh just now?"

"I just thought of such a troublesome autumn, full of dangers everywhere..." Feng Yan looked at the gradually desolate autumn scenery in the courtyard and whispered, "Don't involve Mr. Mei in our troubles."

...

"Shi Shi Du!"

Xiaoqi, who was sitting by the curved corridor, saw Du Qianfeng's figure from afar, and couldn't help but get up and shout.

Du Huanfeng stopped in the distance and turned around, "Xiao Qi."

Xiaoqi jumped and ran to Du Xuanfeng's side, "Hey, I found out why you have been here in our house recently... Is something wrong?"

Just as Du Huanfeng was about to answer, he saw Xiao Qi's two swollen eyes, "Wow, Miss Qi is bullied by someone? Why did she cry so much that her eyes were swollen?"

Xiaoqi then realized that she remembered her eyes. She reached out to block her head, "Who... who said she was crying? I was accidentally stung by a poisonous insect..."

"That's dangerous. Do you want me to see your injuries?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no." Xiao Qi waved his hands repeatedly.

——I was stung by the poisonous insect of unrequited love. You can’t see it well.

She was about to continue asking why Du Xuanfeng was coming, but suddenly she saw something in his hand, which looked very familiar.

"Hey, isn't this Ji Ran's waist card?" Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment. She reached out to get it. Du Huanfeng didn't refuse and gave it to her directly, "How could he be here with the Heavenly Master?"

"He..." Du Xuanfeng looked at the waist card, a little reluctant to speak, "I have encountered some trouble recently."

Xiaoqi was stunned, "What... trouble?"

Du Xuanfeng did not answer, but just shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't ask, it's not a big deal."

Seeing Master Du Tian turned around and left, Xiao Qi chased after him, "Master Du Tian, ​​don't talk halfway. Although I haven't known Master Ji for a long time, I have a life-long friendship - just tell me, what's wrong with him? I promise not to tell anyone!"

"really?"

Xiaoqi nodded seriously, "Take it seriously!"

Du Xiangfeng sighed, "It was just a coincidence that he was unlucky. The night you and Ji Ran fell into the water, he should have gone to the east of the city to hand over a group of important criminals escorted from Chang'an in the second half of the night, but there was such a problem... The rain was heavy that night, and several prisoners worked together inside and outside, and almost ran away. Although everyone has been caught, Ji Ran has to be demoted to prison and wait for the defeat."

"...I understand the demotion, what does it mean to be imprisoned?" Xiaoqi frowned. "It was an accident that no one could have imagined. Even if he delayed any work because of this, he would not have to lock him up and await trial?"

"He couldn't tell where he went that night, so of course he would be locked up."

"Why can't I explain it clearly?" Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, "He has been with me that night."

Du Qianfeng shook his head, "He promised your sister that for your reputation, he could not make this matter public. The case is still in the preliminary trial stage, and the files are all openly verified. When the third trial is over, as a former Shaoqing, he will have another chance to defend himself. By that time, he will be able to prove his innocence."

Xiao Qi thought, "The secret song... means what most people don't know?"

"Yes, Jiran's defense will be directly heard from Datian, and His Majesty will pardon him."

"What's the point of such innocence?" Xiaoqi frowned, "Even if the emperor asked him to restore his post, his colleagues wouldn't know the whole story at all. Maybe they would mistakenly think that he had used some ulterior motives to protect his black hat-ah, Du Tianshi!"

“…what?”

"Take me to Dali Temple," Xiaoqi grabbed Du Kuangfeng's sleeve, "Which adult is trying Ji Ran's case? I'll clarify what happened that night with him!"

"Nonsense!" Du Xuanfeng shook Xiaoqi's hand away, "There have been enough things these days. Have you forgotten how the spirit-sacrificing man dealt with you, or do you think the matter has passed and it is calm outside? Ji Ran will be fine in Dali Temple - just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere."

Xiaoqi was also a little anxious, "Why can't you? Didn't you look at Ji Ran growing up? He is a arrogant person and takes the future so seriously. How could he bear such injustice..."

"Then he can wait for another ten days and half a month, and he can stand it."

"Tianshi--"

"Don't mention it anymore," Du Huanfeng lowered his face, "Miss Seven, I hope you can figure out the priorities of the matter and don't always act like this. Ji Ran has made his choice, so you don't have to worry about it here."

"Why are you worried about this..."

Xiaoqi still had a lot of words to say, but looking at Du Huanfeng's cold and determined expression in front of her, she suddenly couldn't say anything.

Such a celestial master is so cold that it is strange.

Xiaoqi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and anger rushed into his heart.
