The first time Xie Yuan met Pei Du was the night Xie's family was raided.
He wore moon-white uniforms and stood in front of the steps to recite the imperial edict. The candlelight burned her father's lifelong innocence to ashes.
Three years later, she came back with a different face, disguised herself as a man and became an official. She was selected by Pei Du for an article she wrote.
The chair on the right side of the chamber had been empty for three years, so he let her sit.
She stood by his side for three years, making suggestions for him to find out the weak points of the Qing Dynasty, while digging out evidence from the old papers inch by inch to overturn the case of the Xie family. The more he checked, the more he felt that something was wrong with this face. After three years of checking, he found that she was a woman, but failed to find out-her surname was Xie.
On the day the case was overturned, she exposed the injustice of the old case three years ago in court, and Pei Du was suspended from office and imprisoned.
She stood outside the prison door all night, but what she was waiting for was another name.
It was never Pei Du who destroyed the entire Xie family. It's the eldest princess.
The person she had hated for three years had blocked her arrows for three years.
Xie Yuan knelt in front of the prison door and looked up at him. He smiled through the iron bars:
"I have been investigating you for three years, and I knew your face was fake. But I didn't know - you are also fake."
Fakes are easy to change, but truth is hard to hide.
