After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 313 Honorable Return
This is just a very simple statement.

When Xu Zhenying said this, his tone was calm, and even he called her by her name, and there was no excitement in his tone. However, Fang Ruyu still had slightly red eyes, "Your Highness, I don't have to work hard, as long as I can help you." good."

"How can it not be hard work? You have a simple and upright temperament. If you are to deal with a group of tigers and wolves, you must be walking on thin ice every day. You have to worry about your own situation and your family members thousands of miles away. Not to mention that you have to face each other day and night. I’m afraid only you know the hardships faced by an ex-fiancé who wants to take your life.”

Fang Ruyu bit her lower lip.

Xu Zhenying sighed slightly, and then patted Fang Ruyu on the shoulder like a big sister, "Don't be afraid, you are home."

Just the word "go home" made Fang Ruyu's tense emotions suddenly pour out. Her tears flowed down, and she hugged Xu Zhenying and cried loudly.

Fang Ruyu didn't know why she was crying.

She just felt like she had walked through a slender rope suspended high in the sky. She had been cautious and vigilant day and night, and now she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

She was once criticized by thousands of people in the Fang family. Everyone blamed her and hated her. They all wanted to expel her from the Fang family. Even her parents and sisters were scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.

She saw Fang Ningmo's tears.

Seeing my grandmother's hatred is as strong as steel.

She resented herself immensely.

She resented herself for trusting Zhou Heng so easily, resented herself for being stubborn and not listening to advice, resented herself for dragging her family into the abyss of eternal destruction, and all of this was because of Zhou Heng, the man who had killed a thousand people!
For countless days and nights, she couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but ask herself why she was in this situation.

She was once Fang Ruyu who was famous all over Bianjing City!
Nowadays it is worse than a wild dog on the roadside.

She always thought that if she saw Zhou Heng again, God would take pity on her and allow her to avenge her shame, so that her parents could hold their heads high in front of the rest of the Fang family -

So when Xu Zhenying reminded her half a year ago that Zhou Heng's people might be looking for her, she expressed her determination to use herself as bait to go deep into the enemy camp without hesitation.

And Xu Zhenying was actually willing to believe her, a person with a criminal record!

He even let her leave Jinzhou Mansion with the blueprints with confidence!

Fang Ruyu often thought that there was no better person than His Highness Prince Zhao.

Therefore, she relied on brute strength to hold on until now, like a lost traveler who finally found her home.

At this moment, all the grievances, pain, despair, and fear that she had swallowed came out, making her cry on Xu Zhenying's shoulder like a helpless child.

Xu Zhenying could only gently pat her back and comfort her silently, even as Fang Ruyu shed a lot of tears from her nose.

Ma Yao was very knowledgeable and only raised his hand to Xu Zhenying, and Xu Zhenying waved him to temporarily step aside.

Fang Ruyu cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped her trembling shoulders and calmed down her emotions. Then she felt embarrassed, her face turned red, and her voice was choked and she said: "Your Highness, I'm sorry for soiling your clothes."

Xu Zhenying smiled, "A piece of clothing is nothing. Just cry and go back to see your parents happily."

Fang Ruyu nodded and kept wiping her tears with Luopa.

"I heard that you used flour to cause combustion and explosions, thereby wiping out all the elite forces in Qiongzhou?" Xu Zhenying looked at her with a smile, seemingly not caring about the snot and tears on her clothes, "Tell me, how did you come up with this?" idea?"

"It's not a temporary idea." Fang Ruyu blushed slightly, "It rained a lot some time ago. Zhou Heng was worried that the gunpowder would get damp, so he always sent someone to check. Then I had a flash of inspiration and remembered that I had taught children in the intermediate class, and the scattered Flour will burn. Then I thought, no one in Qiongzhou knows this kind of details, maybe I can use this method to get rid of them without any blood. "

Xu Zhenying gave her a thumbs up, "What a great idea! Although those hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder were a huge rip-off for Zhou Heng, they have always been stored in the Qiongzhou warehouse, which is also a big hidden danger. I didn't expect you to be like this. Taking everything into account, now I can kill two birds with one stone and completely eliminate my worries. They are indeed my right-hand men."

The look in Xu Zhenying's eyes when he looked at her was softer than ever before, which made Fang Ruyu feel agitated.

Finally, one day, Fang Ruyu, like her sister and cousin, could stand upright in front of Xu Zhenying and make suggestions for the development of Jinzhou Mansion, instead of existing as an unspeakable shame to the family.

Fang Ruyu didn't know how to speak in an official manner, so she could only say sincerely: "His Highness taught me well. If His Highness hadn't allowed me to go out and work, and let me come into contact with those textbooks, I would never have been able to kill my enemies with my own hands." Things that Fang Ruyu couldn’t do before, at least.”

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "Everyone will grow and everyone will change. You are no longer the Fang Ruyu you used to be. You have proven yourself, eliminated enemies for your family, and protected yourself and your family. This is a great achievement. ”

Fang Ruyu's face turned red after being praised, and she just lowered her head: "How could His Highness say such a good thing? It's good that Your Highness doesn't dislike me."

"Don't be afraid to say good things. When you go to Qiongzhou, from a small perspective, you and your family are protected, and you prove your own achievements. From a large perspective, you not only help us solve the military expenses for next year, but also eliminate a Our powerful enemy, once Zhou Heng dies, there will only be a few small fish and shrimps left in the east. Without any good weather, the east will completely become our territory within a year or two at most. This dazzling report card is something to be proud of! "

"Military expenses?" Fang Ruyu opened her eyes slightly.

Xu Zhenying smiled and said: "You don't know, right? Zhou Heng spent nearly 600,000 taels of real gold and silver on the several hundred kilograms of gunpowder, the barrel, and the Tianyuan Pearl."

As soon as the Tian Yuan Pearl was mentioned, Fang Ruyu burst into tears and laughed, "Your Highness is really narrow-minded. He just gave me a fake blueprint to deceive Zhou Heng. He also marked in it that he needed to buy another Tian Yuan Pearl, crush it and fill it with gunpowder. "Zhong, the Yuanzhu that day was just a few glass balls, and the cost was probably only one tael of silver, but you actually sold it for ten thousand taels!"

Xu Zhenying laughed: "I just wanted to fool him, but who knew Zhou Heng would actually believe it?"

"The people over there in Qiongzhou are ignorant. They only think that the pearl is like glass, transparent and flawless. They also believe that it is really the relic of the eminent monk after his death, as is said by outsiders. They are willing to pay the asking price of ten thousand taels of silver for each pearl. ”

Xu Zhenying held up his forehead: "I really didn't expect them to actually fall for it."

Fang Ruyu smiled shyly, but when Xu Zhenying said that she actually earned a year's worth of military expenses for Jinzhou Prefecture, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement in her heart.

This sense of accomplishment far surpassed how many banquets she held during her purdah, how many celebrities and distinguished guests she entertained, and how many wives she praised as "virtuous".

She seemed to understand why Fang Ningmo and Xu Yinxi were willing to fight so hard for Xu Zhenying——

Fang Ruyu suppressed the pride in her heart, tried to look calm, and then asked: "Your Highness, what are your plans next?"

"Let's fully occupy the Eastern Territory first." Xu Zhenying looked at her with a smile again, "As for you, now that you have achieved success, what are your plans? Are you going to stay or go back?"

Fang Ruyu's handsome brows frowned slightly, "I'd better stay. Your Highness has occupied the Eastern Territory, and there will definitely be logistics, education, and agriculture in the follow-up. I worked in the education department in Jinzhou Mansion, and now it is... When there is a shortage of people, if His Highness doesn't mind, I will do my best. ""Why don't you go home first?"

To be honest, Xu Zhenying was still a little surprised.

She had the impression that Fang Ruyu was a very filial person, not to mention that after hovering in other people's land for a long time, Xu Zhenying thought that she must be like a nestling that had left the nest and couldn't wait to go home.

Fang Ruyu shook her head gently, "I want to go back, but they need me more here. I want to be a person that makes my parents and sister proud."

Xu Zhenying smiled and patted her shoulder solemnly, "Okay, then you stay here and come to me if you need anything."

Fang Ruyu explained some things in Qiongzhou to Xu Zhenying. Before she left, she had expected that Xu Zhenying would definitely summon her, so she summarized the work of the trip for more than half a year, including some information she had in Qiongzhou Mansion.

The two of them chatted until late at night before Fang Ruyu went back.

Unexpectedly, not long after she returned to her room, she heard the sound of pebbles hitting her window sill.

Fang Ruyu turned pale with fright, but then she remembered that she was already in the Jinzhou Mansion and should be safe.

Who's playing a prank?
Fang Ruyu suddenly thought of a person's face in her mind.

She quickly walked to the window sill, but she saw a silhouette of someone coming into the house uninvited.

Although the Jinzhou Prefecture did not pay much attention to the defense of men and women, and it was common for men and women to live together in the same room, Fang Ruyu still frowned slightly at Ming Xiaoshuang's behavior.

Fang Ruyu let down her guard and walked to her dressing table, turning her back to the person, "What are you doing here? A dignified minister broke into a woman's boudoir without permission. What's the point of speaking out? I'm not afraid of being treated as such. Flower picker?"

Ming Xiaoshuang walked in carelessly, as comfortable as in his own room. He even pulled a stool and sat down, crossing his legs leisurely, "As long as Miss Fang doesn't tell, and I don't tell, who will know? Besides, Miss Fang is going to kill someone today." There are hundreds of enemies, how can they be afraid of me, a little flower-picking thief?”

When mentioning murder, Fang Ruyu seemed to think of the earth-shattering explosion during the day.

Although she could not see with her own eyes how her enemies were shattered to pieces before her eyes, she could also imagine how miserable they must have been in agony before they died.

Fang Ruyu's face turned slightly pale and she almost felt sick.

Ming Xiaoshuang observed his words and immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said quickly: "Speaking of it, Miss Fang has made a great contribution today. I heard from His Highness that not only will I publish a report to praise your bravery, but I will also give your family a piece of cake." Where’s the plaque of Glory House!”

As expected, Fang Ruyu's attention was diverted, and she was surprised and happy: "Seriously?"

"Of course! I might even include you in the picture book of the Twelve Female Generals!"

Fang Ruyu said quickly: "How can I be compared with people like Dean Qiu and Zhang Wanjun?"

"Why can't you!?" Ming Xiaoshuang stood up anxiously, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and you were not sensible at the time. Just change it after you make a mistake. His Highness often said that no one is perfect. , as long as you change, you will be our good comrades. Besides, you dare to enter the enemy camp alone and deal with the enemy for half a year. Not only did you gain the enemy's trust, you also gave them a fatal blow, and finally earned money for Jinzhou Prefecture. With hundreds of thousands of taels of military expenditure, which girl in our Jinzhou Prefecture can be as powerful as you?"

Fang Ruyu clearly knew that Ming Xiaoshuang was teasing her, but she still raised the corners of her lips slightly, "You... always exaggerate when you speak."

"It's you who belittles yourself! Not to mention these great achievements now, just say that in the past two years, you have worked diligently in education, taught so many students, and imported so many talents to Jinzhou Prefecture. Later, you went to the almshouse, Help those girls who have been abandoned by their parents to become self-reliant, and they all call you Sister Fang!"

Fang Ruyu was a little embarrassed by his praise, and she couldn't help but feel shy, "His Highness has already praised me very well today! By the way, what are you going to do when you break into my room late at night?"

Ming Xiaoshuang conjured a bottle of plaster from behind and placed it on her table like a magic trick. He glanced at her fingers unconsciously and said, "Is your hand injured? I'll get you some plaster and put it on."

Fang Ruyu stared at that person. Ming Xiaoshuang blushed because of her stare, but she still held her chest up and raised her head without giving in at all, "What are you looking at?"

Fang Ruyu smiled softly, thinking that this fool actually knew that her hand was injured.

She was afraid of being discovered by Zhou Heng, so she ran away in a hurry. She didn't feel any pain when she fell to the ground, but now she calmed down enough to feel the pain.

This man looked stupid, but his observation skills were sharp.

It shows that he is not really stupid.

Also, how could anyone around Xu Zhenying be stupid?
"Okay, thank you very much."

Ming Xiaoshuang saw that Fang Ruyu's fingers were green and white. She opened the ointment, took out a little white plaster with her slender fingers, and then gently pushed it on the red and swollen fingers.

The spring breeze blew, lifting a strand of hair from Fang Ruyu's forehead, and Ming Xiaoshuang could only see the silhouette of her eyelashes under the moonlight.

This girl... is so pretty.

Ming Xiaoshuang thought a little foolishly.

Fang Ruyu raised her head and frowned, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Ming Xiaoshuang hugged her hands in embarrassment, "Why are you so eager to drive me away? Don't you want to know about your family's situation?"

"His Highness told me that everything in my family is fine."

"Then you don't want to know what happened to your family in the six months after you left?"

Fang Ruyu bit her teeth lightly, then looked at the man and said as if she was admitting defeat, "Okay, you go ahead."

Ming Xiaoshuang said proudly: "Since you want to know, why don't you quickly serve me a cup of tea?"

Fang Ruyu had no choice but to do it.

However, it seemed that Ming Xiaoshuang's joke had relieved the tension of the whole day.

Fang Ruyu also completely relaxed.
