"Cousin, I dealt with everything. Not only the letters we exchanged, but I also threw away everything he gave me. I also had people check all the places she stayed in my house. This time it was definitely not me who brought trouble to our family."
Chu Nanfeng felt full of grievances. He knew that Ah Man would definitely question him like this after he met her. However, after he learned about the strangeness of Su Jinxiu's letter in Da Zhou, he rushed back day and night and destroyed the so-called evidence.
But he didn't expect that a few days after he destroyed it, his aunt got into trouble in the palace, and then, something happened in the Duke's Mansion as well.
Even after staying in the prison for so long, Chu Nanfeng still hadn't figured out what kind of evidence the emperor had obtained...
"I also asked my father if he really did... and was beaten by my father. My father said that my aunt was the Empress of the Central Palace, Xuan'er was the Crown Prince, and he was guarding the country's borders for his sister and nephew."
When Chu Nanfeng said this, his words were bitter and his heart was even worse.
My father had no selfish motives towards his sister and nephew, so he was arrested and thrown into prison unjustly. However, these days, my father has not shown any resentment in prison. Even when Ah Man asked him a question just now, he kept silent.
"How come you don't know anything at all?" Ah Man was extremely looking forward to it, but now she is extremely disappointed.
My uncle didn't want to tell me the reason, and my cousin didn't know. I wanted to reverse the case for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but I had no evidence.
"Ah Man, I will find a way to ask, don't worry, we have a clear conscience, and the truth will come out one day."
Chu Nanfeng tried to persuade her earnestly, but these empty words could not make Ah Man feel at ease.
"I let you out this time to attend the funeral of my mother. You are my mother's family." Thinking of his uncle outside urging him to send him back to the prison, Ah Man had a headache.
"But father..." Chu Nanfeng also knew that Ah Man was making things difficult for his father. His father always kept his word. He said he wanted to go back to the Heavenly Prison, and if Ah Man didn't send him back, he would go to the Heavenly Prison himself.
"You try to persuade him nicely. If that doesn't work, let him take care of Jinxuan. He loves his nephew the most, so he should..." Ah Man really didn't know if Xuan'er could stop his uncle.
"I'll go and persuade him later." Ah Man said helplessly, but the reasons she had to convince her uncle were too weak.
A'man and Chu Nanfeng discussed for a long time but couldn't find a good way to persuade the Duke of Zhenguo Chu Zhenhua. However, after coming out of the inner room, without waiting for Chu Zhenhua to speak, A'man pulled Jinxuan and knelt in front of him.
"Princess, Crown Prince, this is absolutely not allowed." Seeing the brother and sister kneeling in front of him, Chu Zhenhua also knelt down quickly. The princess and the crown prince are both the emperor's children. Although they are his nephews, they are also his masters. He absolutely cannot let his masters kneel down in front of him.
Ah Man looked at the unshaven Su Zhenhua and was deeply moved by his perseverance.
Now she couldn't believe that her uncle, who strictly observed the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, would do something so unrighteous and treasonous.
Just as he said, he was guarding the border for his sister and nephew.
"Uncle, my mother is gone. Xuan'er and I are young. Although we are in charge of the funeral, there are bound to be omissions. My father has long forgotten my mother. Now you are the only one who can help me. I finally got you out of the prison. Can you help me, please?"
When Ah Man spoke, her eyes were already filled with tears. The only elder she could rely on now was her uncle.
Jinxuan was also a smart guy. He knelt in front of his uncle and cried for his mother. His cry was full of sorrow and despair, which made people feel extremely distressed.
Chu Zhenhua, a three-foot-tall man, looked at the helpless brother and sister in front of him, and his already red eyes began to cry again.
"Uncle, please, please help me, not only for me and Xuan'er, but also for mother. She is your biological sister, you..." Ah Man was so choked up that she couldn't speak, but her eyes were fixed on Chu Zhenhua, watching the hesitation and struggle in his eyes.
