Showz got one thing wrong from beginning to end.
He adopted Amo because he felt that Amo was like his dream girl, Carissa.
But Amo doesn't look like her, since she really looks like her mother, how could she like Xiuzi from the bottom of her heart.
In the past three years, Amo has endured humiliation. When her father was exiled, she also thought about standing up and telling the truth to the public. But she endured it, because she knew that a poor blacksmith who was spurned by the forging world, and a little girl who was only five years old, would not be able to bring down the big tree of Ji Hirata no matter what.
So she followed Xiuzi's favorite appearance, forced herself to smile and say something against her will, and cried alone in the middle of the night, biting the quilt. She stayed by Xiutz's side, serving him carefully, looking for evidence as much as possible. Evidence was hard to come by, but she quickly figured out the real reason why Xiuzi let Liushi go.
The Yoshihira family needs the research results of Liushi, and this thing can only be made by Liushi.
"Don't worry, I'll call him back with a letter as soon as he makes something. I'll give you a chance to avenge yourself!"
When Xiuzi said this to Amo, Amo quickly made a judgment. The Naru who went out with Liushi was probably not out of loyalty, and it was 100% a dog raised by Ji Pingtian's family. Otherwise, Xiuzi would not be able to understand Liu Shi's current situation, and would not know whether his research was finished and when it would be finished.
So when Liushi and Naru returned to Fengcheng three years later, and Luo Mei came to find Amo to explain the situation, Amo made the most sensible decision at that time.
Naru is unreliable, if he goes to see Liushi alone now, not only will he be taken back to the Jipingtian family together, but he will also give back the trust he has finally cheated from Xiuzi for three years.
Once you are suspected, it's all over.
So she immediately reported the whole story to Xiuzi first, and asked Xiuzi to give her a team of guards to arrest people.
Even if she saw her biological father being beaten to the point of bleeding, she still had to bear it, endure it.
When Xiuzi entrusts all her cronies to guard Liushi and relaxes her vigilance, seize this unique opportunity—
In the eyes of others in the past three years, she has been well-clothed and well-fed.
Only she knew in her heart that she had not slept peacefully at night in the past three years.
All for today!
…
And Fengcheng City Lord's Mansion.
There are two people sitting beside an elegant mahogany table, drinking tea leisurely.
One of them was wearing a purple robe, serving tea respectfully, and said with a smile:
"Come, come, Prince Huai's son is coming to our small broken city, I will offer a cup to Prince Huai first."
The other one took the tea, put it on the table, played with a folding fan in his hand, squinted his eyes and replied:
"Kay, your title really changes every day. You used to call me brother anyway, but now you're so born?"
Hearing this, Kay, the ninth son of the lord of Fengcheng City and Lord Huai, cupped his hands and said:
"It used to be the past, but now it is the present. Father is seriously ill. Don't you worry about all the big and small matters in Duke Huai's territory? Some people told me that brother Kaiya's status is getting more and more important, and we don't want us to worry about it anymore." ... Cough, let’s not talk about this matter, since Brother Kaiya is thinking about our previous friendship, I can call him whatever I want. Brother Kaiya is here to visit Fengcheng this time, what’s the matter?"
Kai Ya, the son of Duke Huai, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"It's nothing. I was in the capital when the ninth brother got married a while ago, and I couldn't make it back. Today I brought a special gift. One is to apologize, and the other is to have a banquet to make up for the regret that I didn't drink the wedding wine at that time. "
When talking about the royal capital, Kaiya frowned imperceptibly. The trip to the capital was far from smooth as he had imagined, especially when it was planned by an unknown pawn. Some time ago, Lord Lingwu sent a letter to his father, reprimanding Kaiya for using his name to make trouble when he was in the capital. For this reason, King Huai's territory compensated Lord Lingwu with a hundred horses, and Lord Huai scolded his son bloody that night.
But Kaia would not talk about these things with her younger brother, and soon brought the topic to Kay's new marriage.
At the beginning, it was a family routine, and the two became acquainted again.
At this moment, the dull sound of Mingyuan Drum sounded unexpectedly. The tea on the table shook for a while, and all the furniture in the room trembled slightly.
Kay immediately got up from his chair and said:
"I'll go out and see..."
Before he could finish speaking, a guard had already stepped into the door, knelt down in front of him, and said:
"Lord Kay! Someone sued Mr. Xiuzi of the Yoshihirata family for murder, illegal imprisonment and other crimes. He just beat the grievance drum, and now he is kneeling at the door of the Internal Affairs Office!"
Kai frowned and muttered:
"Xiuzi... Oh, I remember, the son of my family. Why did this kind of thing happen. Who is the plaintiff?"
The guard kowtowed deeply and said:
"The plaintiff claimed to be Amo, and said she was the daughter of Liushi and Carissa. She was... a child."
Kai frowned again, unlike his older brother who kept squinting and smiling, his eyebrows almost twisted into a rope when he thought about things:
"Amo... Liushi... Carissa... oh. Carissa seems to be the woman who separated the family before. She was killed three years ago, and I tried the case myself. Yes, I remembered, Liushi is Her husband, who was also the murderer at the time, was an unpopular blacksmith. Isn't it three years since this happened, why is it being brought up again now?"
The guard said:
"I don't know... that child named Amo is completely naked, and it seems that he came here with the intention of dying."
Kai rubbed his head and said:
"so troublesome… "
As if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at his elder brother Kaiya as if asking for help, and said with a flattering smile:
"What am I still struggling with? Brother Kaiya is a hundred times smarter than me, so there must be a way."
Kaya smiled silently.
Kay hurriedly served another cup of tea.
Kaya smiled and said:
"According to the ninth brother, this Xiuzi is from Ji Pingtian's main family, and Amo is the daughter of the branch family?"
Kay nodded:
"Yes. Almost three years ago, Yoshihira Tian's family sued their son-in-law, Liu Shi, for killing their eldest daughter Carissa, and Liu Shi himself admitted the crime. So I followed the plaintiff's idea and exiled the defendant Liu Shi. Unexpectedly, It's been three years, if it wasn't for someone wanting to overturn the case today, I almost can't remember it... "
Kaiya's folding fan tapped twice on her hand and said:
"I have heard of this Liushi a little bit. When I was living in no fixed place, I wanted to come to my house to do something. But the blacksmiths at my side protested unanimously, so I naturally couldn't keep him."
Kay smiled and said:
"That's natural. Liushi has a reputation of being a traitor. After killing his wife, his reputation is even worse. Everyone shouts and beats the rats crossing the street. If possible, I really don't want him to return to Fengcheng. It's just this case..."
Kaya smiled and said:
"Then why is the ninth brother so anxious? You might as well wait a little longer."
Kai thought for a moment and understood his brother's intentions.
Not long after, another guard strode in, holding a tray in his hand, and there was a piece of paper in the tray:
"Lord Kay, the gift from the Yoshihirata family has arrived. There are many onlookers outside the city lord's mansion, so the people from the Yoshihira family went through the back door. This time it was delivered by the head of the Yoshihira family himself. Another banquet has been prepared, and Lord Kai and his wife are invited to the banquet tonight."
Kaya smiled and said:
"It seems that there is no need for the ninth brother to organize the banquet by himself. Isn't there a ready-made one that can be used?"
Kay took the paper from the silver tray, glanced briefly at it, put it in the sleeve with satisfaction, and said:
"...you can be promoted."
