Outside the cave, the sun shines on the entrance of the cave, and the breeze blows by, but it cannot blow away the solemn atmosphere in the cave.

Mrs. Mingyue stood quietly at the entrance of the cave.

Just as everyone was talking and worried, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

Everyone looked at him and saw Xi Yu appearing in their sight with a heroic appearance on his horse.

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Mrs. Mingyue's originally tight face, and tears of excitement flashed in her eyes.

Xi Yu turned over and dismounted, walked to Mrs. Mingyue, and said, "You can go."

Mrs. Mingyue looked at Xi Yu, her lips trembled slightly, and suddenly, tears burst out from her eyes.

She choked and said, "I was just trying it out, but I really didn't expect that Prime Minister, you are really willing to help me."

Xi Yu smiled gently and comforted softly: "Don't cry. As the prime minister, helping the people is my duty. When we really help your sister clear the grievances, it's not too late for you to thank me again."

Mrs. Mingyue wiped her tears and nodded vigorously.

"The prime minister's righteousness is unforgettable. Without further ado, let's set off now."

After saying that, she asked her subordinates to prepare their luggage and embarked on the way to Qingfeng County with Xi Yu.

Along the way, Mrs. Mingyue was full of gratitude for Xi Yu and full of hope for the upcoming journey of seeking justice.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves spread on the road, and the team was moving in the sun. Everyone looked expectant and solemn for this itinerary.

Depending on the itinerary, it will take about three days for them to arrive in Qingfeng County.

At the beginning, Mrs. Mingyue's subordinates had prejudices about Xi Yu because of previous events.

In their opinion, as the Prime Minister, Xi Yu might just be acting and would not sincerely avenge a civilian woman. Moreover, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had siege a hostile atmosphere between them and Xi Yu.

However, during the three days of travel, the situation quietly changed.

Xi Yu has no pretentiousness as a prime minister. When he encounters rivers blocking the road, he will take the lead in dismounting and work with the soldiers to find a suitable crossing point.

Whenever he went to a resting place, he always cared about the situation of the horses and the crowd.

While resting on the way, he will also share some interesting stories from the past with everyone, showing extraordinary wisdom and affinity.

Once, a subordinate accidentally sprained his foot. Xi Yu personally checked his injuries and took out the medicine he carried with him.

These actions were seen by their subordinates, and gradually, their views on Xi Yu began to change.

They found that the Prime Minister was a person who truly thought about the people, kind-hearted and outstanding ability. His previous prejudices disappeared without realizing them, and he became deeply aware of Xi Yu.

Mrs. Mingyue felt very relieved when she saw the change in her subordinates' attitude.

That night, after a long journey, they finally arrived at Qingfeng County.

At this time, the night had completely enveloped the small town, with sparse lights and quietness.

Mrs. Mingyue tied the horse's reins and said to Xi Yu: "Prime Minister, it's getting late, so we might as well go to my sister's place tomorrow." Xi Yu nodded and agreed.

Then, Mrs. Mingyue turned her head to look at her subordinates and said softly: "You have worked hard these days, so let's go and go home to rest. You don't have to come to my house tomorrow."

The subordinates responded in unison: "Yes, madam."

After saying that, they each rode their horses away.

Xi Yu and Mrs. Mingyue found an inn to stay in.

In the inn, Mrs. Mingyue briefly introduced to Xi Yu about the situation in Qingfeng County and her sister's current living conditions.

Xi Yu listened carefully and had some preliminary plans for tomorrow's investigation.

The next morning, the mist was everywhere, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.

Mrs. Mingyue and Xi Yu set out early and headed towards the village that cared about Mrs. Mingyue's hope and pain.

The two of them rode slowly, and the sound of horse hooves seemed particularly clear in the quiet morning mist.

About an hour later, the outline of a village gradually appeared in the fog.

Mrs. Mingyue tied the reins and turned to Xi Yu and said, "Prime Minister, this is my hometown."

In her eyes, she had both attachment to her hometown and complex emotions about what she was about to face.

Xi Yu looked at the village. It looked peaceful and peaceful, but the fog seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Houses in the village are arranged in a scattered manner, and occasionally you can see smoke rising from the chimneys.

"Let's go." Xi Yu said. He could feel the fluctuations in Mrs. Mingyue's emotions and knew that she must be in a mixed sense of emotion in her heart at this moment.

Mrs. Mingyue nodded, gently clamped her horse's belly, and continued to move forward. As they went deeper, they could hear the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking, and the villagers also began a day of work.

Some villagers saw Mrs. Mingyue’s eyes with a look of surprise and complexity, but no one came forward to say hello, but just looked at it from a distance.

Mrs. Mingyue's expression became more and more serious. She knew that the attitudes of the people in this village towards her and her sister were changed by that unjust case. Today, perhaps the beginning of all this change.

Soon, they walked along the winding path and soon arrived at a farmer's home.

This is Sun Qiushui's residence.

The farmhouse stands quietly by a field, surrounded by lush trees, like a paradise that is independent.

The thatch on the roof sways gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of time.

Mrs. Mingyue's parents have long passed away. In this world, only Sun Qiushui lives here alone.
