Chapter 619 Don’t they deserve justice?
Zhang Zhirou understood what Shu He meant from her expression. Her slightly red eyes were filled with strength and a hint of indifference.
"Sister, if you are worried about Jiang Dongping, there is no need to worry!"
"Don't you always say that life is wonderful because of its imperfections, and that it is through missed opportunities that new things can be gained."
"Although Jiang Dongping and I are not destined to be together, it doesn't mean I won't meet someone better!"
"I believe that with my beauty, which is so stunning that it can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and my beauty that can make the moon hide and the flowers blush, I will definitely find a husband who is completely devoted to me!"
Shu He looked at her, his face showing relief, but there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.
She still remembered the excited look on Jiang Dongping's face when he lit up the sky full of Kongming lanterns for her; she also remembered the shy blushing cheeks every time she mentioned Jiang Dongping; she also remembered how she had spotted her wandering outside the Western Chu Palace late at night several times.
How can someone who is truly moved let go so easily?
"Okay, since you said so, I believe you can handle these things."
Zhang Zhirou smiled, with a hint of forcedness in her eyes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Yang Rongsheng opened the door, took something from a beautiful woman, and then closed the door.
"Princess, news from the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
Shu He took the letter and a hint of confusion appeared on his face after reading it.
Zhang Zhirou saw her serious expression and asked, "Sister, what's wrong? Is there any situation in the Fourth Prince's mansion?"
Shu He handed the note in his hand to Zhang Zhirou, and Yang Rongsheng also came over.
Zhang Zhirou frowned after reading it. "Sister, this letter says that the Fourth Prince uses drugs on the dancers who stay overnight. What does this mean?"
"Using drugs on the dancer? Yes, it's not interesting enough?" Yang Rongsheng asked doubtfully.
"Uh……"
After hearing this, Shu He looked at Zhang Zhirou with a slightly embarrassed look. As expected, the inexperienced girl blushed uncontrollably after hearing this.
"Rongsheng, your words are too harsh!"
You have to take care of the little girl!
Yang Rongsheng's face showed a bit of embarrassment. She didn't think too much about it and just blurted it out.
Zhang Zhirou suddenly scooped two spoonfuls of milk and stuffed them into her mouth, pretending not to hear.
Seeing this, Shu He smiled and passed over the matter, "The drugs used probably weren't for pleasure."
Zhang Zhirou said, "Then there must be something shameful going on, and they're afraid of being discovered."
Shu He nodded. That was true. But what on earth was the Fourth Brother hiding?
"Princess, do you have an antidote to the drug? I'll give it to the sister inside and ask her to secretly investigate this matter."
Shu He's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "No, Old Four is ruthless and merciless. Ordinary people can't possibly beat him! If they're discovered, they'll definitely die!"
Even if the women entered the Fourth Master's mansion voluntarily, she didn't want them to lose their lives.
A strange look appeared on Yang Rongsheng's face, and his eyes were slightly evasive, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Rongsheng, what do you want to say?"
Yang Rongsheng struggled internally for a moment before saying, "In fact, all the women who entered the Fourth Prince's residence were persecuted by the Zheng family and fell into prostitution."
"When they entered the Fourth Prince's mansion, they asked me to bring you a message: they are willing to sacrifice their lives at any time as long as it means they can bring the Fourth Prince to justice and avenge their families!"
Shu He's face was filled with shock. "Rong Sheng! You..."
"Princess, I know your rules!" Yang Rongsheng stood aside and interrupted her.
"When you asked me to establish Xiaoxiang Pavilion, your original intention was to shelter those homeless women who had been persecuted and had nowhere else to go. And allowing them to enter the various mansions in Kyoto was based on their own will. You also said that people from Xiaoxiang Pavilion were not allowed to enter the mansions of their enemies..."
"But Princess, some of them survived because of the hatred in their hearts! Revenge is their only thought!"
"Everyone knows that Xiaoxiang Tower may be able to give them a stable future, but not everyone wants such a future!"
"One sister once said, 'We are stable, but what about our deceased family members? Can they rest in peace in the afterlife?'"
Shu He stood there, looking at her trembling red eyes, feeling mixed emotions, but not knowing what to say.
"Princess, everyone has their own choices. Some want a stable life, while others just want to give an explanation to their loved ones in the afterlife. You can't force everyone to follow the path you've paved!"
Zhang Zhirou showed displeasure on her face. She didn't like what Yang Rongsheng said.
"Sister Rongsheng, what do you mean by forced? Sister He created this place to give you a safe haven for survival. Is this forced?"
"We don't let them go to the enemy's house because we're afraid that if they can't hide their resentment there, they'll reveal their true colors and end up exposing Sister He. What will happen? Have you thought about that?"
Yang Rongsheng's face turned pale, his expression revealing a hint of stubbornness and determination. "Miss Arou, please rest assured. No one in Xiaoxiang Tower knows of the princess's existence except me! If someone really betrays me, I will die before anyone catches me!"
"Yang Rongsheng!" After hearing this, Shu He's voice rose uncontrollably, with a hint of anger on his face, "Who allowed you to say such things?!"
"I saved your life with so much effort, and now you just want to give it up?!"
"Are you worthy of my hard work and efforts?!"
Zhang Zhirou could see that Shu He was really angry. She was not angry that someone broke her rules, nor was she angry that Yang Rongsheng was hiding something from her, but she was angry that those girls did not value their own lives!
"Sister Rongsheng, you're really hurting Sister He by saying that. You know very well that what she cares about most is the lives of the sisters in Xiaoxiang Tower! Isn't that why she's angry?"
Yang Rongsheng's eyes were filled with emotion, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes. "Princess, I have always known that you are a kind person. That's why I didn't tell you about the girls' decision because I didn't want to trouble you too much!"
"What happened with the Fourth Prince's Mansion was not something I wanted to do. It was their own decision."
"Hundreds of people in Liujia Village were massacred, and the truth was revealed in the hall, but what was the result?"
"Those were all living lives! They were the emperor's subjects! Yet, our emperor only let Zheng Zihe shoulder this enormous crime, while the Fourth Prince escaped unscathed, only to be imprisoned and continue to live happily!"
"Princess, there are so many innocent souls in Liujia Village. Don't they deserve justice?"
"Besides Liujia Village, there are many others who were killed by the Fourth Prince. Don't those people deserve justice?"
"Xue Ji's father was framed by him and his entire family was executed just because he opposed the Fourth Prince!"
"The hatred of genocide is irreconcilable. Even if there is no Xiaoxiang Tower, she will find other ways to take revenge!"
"Xue Ji said that as long as the damned can go to hell, they will be willing to go to hell together!"
"Princess!" Yang Rongsheng knelt down, holding Shu He's hands with both hands, with a pleading look on his face.
"Please help them!"
