As Yan Xiaoxi sat beside Nangong Lin, she heard a few occasional reports from the butler. With the two key words, beggar and Liu Zhixue, she was able to quickly guess what they were.

That day, because the butler was investigating the truth of the beggar's words, Liu Zhixue's temperament had greatly changed to plead for them. Yan Xiaoxi then pushed the beggar to leave, in order to catch the big fish, follow them and find their lair.

In the Southern Water Country, it was extremely easy for the Lin King's Manor to find someone.

In one night's time, the steward had thoroughly grasped the whole situation. It could be seen that his ability to handle matters was extraordinary.

"Bring him in." Nangong Lin's eyes that were as pale as starlight did not reveal any emotion.

Those beggars had the audacity to make a move on the prime of their lives. They had offended someone they shouldn't have, but they had offended Nangong Lin instead.

Putting aside the jade pendant, the actions of the beggar really did affect the security and face of the Southern Water Country. If any other country saw this, they would think that the Southern Water Country was a place without laws or laws.

On this point alone, Nangong Lin would not let the beggar go so easily. Regardless of the reason, snatching things was wrong.

With a single command, the guards brought the beggars from the day before to the main hall.

They were still wearing the same tattered clothes, their hair was a mess. Compared to yesterday, they were a bit more tidy, and their faces seemed to have been deliberately cleaned up, making them a lot cleaner.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at the few people who were being cautious. She turned her head and looked at Liu Zhixue, who was standing beside her.

At this moment, she looked extremely calm, her face as calm as ever, without any signs of nervousness. However, her hands were tightly clasped together, and her entire body seemed very tense, as if it were a tight whirl on a bow. A light touch could break her at any time.

"Prince, didn't you let me go?" The beggar had thought that they would just leave it at that. Back then, didn't the person in question say that they would be let go? What was the purpose of calling them here now?

"Let him go?" Nangong Lin sneered.

The beggars suddenly shrunk, not understanding the meaning behind Nangong Lin's inexplicable smile.

"The Nanshui Country is a country governed by the rule of law. The Son of Heaven has violated the law and the citizens are no exception." If, for some reason, he spared the beggars the first time, there would be a second time, a third time, and a countless number of times, then what was the use of the royal laws set by the ancestors?

What Nangong Lin had to do was to tell the crowd that from the Southern Water Nation to the Son of Heaven, to the commoners, they had to follow the rules and abide by the laws. Once they made a mistake, they had no reason to do so.

"Your highness, I really have my own difficulties." The beggars flopped to their knees and kowtowed.

Nangong Lin also understood this. The butler had told him everything.

What these beggars said was indeed true, they were really cooperating in the robbery to treat his mother's illness. Before this, he had also seen with his own eyes that the beggars had obscenities and wanted to molest Liu Zhixue. Their starting point might be filial piety, but evil thoughts were still lurking in their bones.

"Brother Lin." Your Highness, can you please let them go? " Liu Zhixue took a few steps forward and knelt down next to the beggar.

"Xue'er, you …" Nangong Lin didn't expect Liu Zhixue to plead for the beggar again.

It was the first time that he could understand her pleading in front of so many people. This time, even Nangong Lin was puzzled. What was she trying to do?

"Sister Liu, they hurt you. Why do you need to plead for them?" Yan Xiaoxi was clearly asking this even though she already knew the answer.

How could she not know that Liu Zhixue was kind enough to let the beggar go without a second thought?

Firstly, to prove to everyone that she had gone from being an unruly and arrogant young miss to a kind-hearted and considerate woman.

Secondly, the few beggars in front of them were most likely related to Liu Zhixue. This act of theirs was indeed not bad.

People would often lie, but the body would always behave in an honest manner.

Ever since they had entered the room, the beggars had not glanced at Liu Zhixue, seemingly wanting to cover up their intentions. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they have looked at her with gratitude and expressed their gratitude?

"Everyone has times when they do wrong. I regret my past actions very much. That kind of me has disappointed the person I love, caused myself to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss. It was only until now that I completely realized it, so I wanted to change and become a me who only lived for myself." What Liu Zhixue had said was so sincere that it caused others to move.

After the maidservants on both sides heard this, they all nodded their heads, expressing their belief.

"I was very lucky, because Prince Lin still had a chance to live after pleading for mercy. From a beggar's point of view, they hoped that someone would appear here and give them a chance to start anew."

Yan Xiaoxi had never realized that Liu Zhixue was this eloquent and that she was so eloquent that it would stun anyone who heard it.

Looking at it today, he couldn't help but feel that once a person's mask was hung on for a long time, they would sink into the deepest recesses of their being, and their words and actions would be completely different.

Under the mask, what kind of face was hidden, the answer was unknown.

If, is a pure moving, innocent, kind and filial face, why wear a mask as a person?

"Thank you, Miss Liu. I'm sorry." The beggar repented of what he had done.

"Miss Liu, you are truly a good person. You don't care about the past, and you will plead for us." In his heart, he had already completely changed his impression of Liu Zhixue.

Many times, people's eyes and ears would be blinded by the surface of things. This was the case for beggars.

Wasn't this the goal that Liu Zhixue wanted to achieve?

Yan Xiaoxi smiled and said cooperatively, "Big Sister Liu really has a heart of a Bodhisattva."

She deliberately emphasized the words "Bodhisattva's Heart", and they all understood the meaning within it.

"Sister Wangfei, you're too kind." Of course, Liu Zhixue could hear the mockery in Yan Xiaoxi's words.

Of course, she also understood that it was impossible for one person to change in a short amount of time. It was also impossible for Yan Xiaoxi to believe her in just a few days.

The future was long. Whoever laughed to the end might not pass!

Seeing the confidence in Liu Zhixue's eyes, Yan Xiaoxi actually wanted to laugh. This woman had always been so conceited, thinking that she was the smartest person in the world. To Yan Xiaoxi, Liu Zhixue was nothing more than a toy in her hands.

Yan Xiaoxi also didn't know that the phrase 'set fire to one's own body' just happened to describe her current actions.

She had also done the same thing many times. For example, she had caused Nangong Lin's bath fire to burn and stole his clothes, causing him to slip away. In the end, she was the one who ended up suffering.
