Resourceful beauty

Chapter 3
"Xuan'er, is that you?"

A broad hand stretched out from the fence of the adjacent cell, grabbing Fang Ruxuan's direction vigorously, Fang Ruxuan only took one look, and recognized that it was his father.

"Daddy, it's me, I'm Xuan'er..."

Overjoyed, Fang Ruxuan stood up and walked to the side of the cell, stretched out her hand and grabbed Fang Qizhi's hand tightly.

It was cold at the beginning, which was very similar to the environment she was in at the moment, but Fang Ruxuan's heart seemed to be burning with a charcoal basin, which made tears burst out of her eyes unexpectedly.

"Xuan'er, are you okay? I saw they dragged you in just now, but you are not feeling well?"

Fang Ruxuan heard another familiar voice, it was Fang Zhengjun, the elder brother of her mother.

"Brother, I'm fine, I'm really fine, you don't have to worry about me..."

Wiping her tears with her sleeve in a panic, Fang Ruxuan sniffed, and stretched out her hand to reach Fang Zhengjun's.

In just a moment, Fang Ruxuan's tears fell again.

After five years, this was the first time she really heard the voices of her father and brother.

The three hands were tightly held together, as if the hearts of the whole family were stuck together, Fang Qizhi's voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs, "Xuan'er, my silly child, you shouldn't suffer with us .”

Before Fang Ruxuan could say anything, Fang Zhengjun retorted in disapproval, "Father, what are you talking about? Don't say that we were wronged, but that we really did such a treasonous thing. If we are going to die, our whole family People should be together."

"Yes, Dad, my brother and I have no regrets in our hearts. It is our blessing to be by your side and serve you."

Fang Ruxuan let go of Fang Zhengjun's hand, and patted his hand comfortingly.

"Good boy, you are all my good children, is it the father who hurt you?"

The words were full of apology, Fang Qizhi slowly let go of his hand, and carefully reminded Fang Ruxuan: "Xuan'er, the humidity in the prison is heavy, you should spread the hay on the ground thicker, don't catch cold..."

There were rustling voices, and Fang Zhengjun's urgent dissuasion sounded. The next moment, Fang Ruxuan saw Fang Qizhi stretch out his hand and handed over a jacket, "Xuan'er, you are a daughter's family, and you are not as strong as your father and brother." All right, come on, put on this jacket."

Knowing that this was the jacket on her father's body, without the clothes, only a single shirt was left on her father's body, Fang Ruxuan shook her head and called Fang Zhengjun, "Brother, let Dad put on the clothes, I'll catch a cold, I'm fine, I'm not cold..."

While speaking, Fang Qizhi turned sideways and threw the jacket from the fence to Fang Ruxuan's feet.

"Xuan'er, wear it, don't make Daddy feel uncomfortable."

Fang Qizhi finished speaking with sobs, and smiled with tears in his eyes, but the smile was indescribably bitter.

Picking up the jacket on the ground and patted the dust sticking to it, Fang Ruxuan dressed and fastened the plum blossom buttons on the skirt, and when she turned her head, she heard the sound of pushing and shoving, and then, Fang Qizhi He sighed helplessly.

Fang Ruxuan knew without looking that it must be his elder brother who took off his jacket and gave it to his father.

Although she was sad, Fang Ruxuan knew that this was not the time to be sad. According to the trajectory of her previous life, her father would be taken out of the prison for interrogation at noon tomorrow. At that time, the witnesses and physical evidence presented would make him irrefutable. The imperial envoy will decide the case accordingly, and three days later, they will be sentenced and sent to Ningbei to serve.

Therefore, tomorrow will be the most critical time.

Where to find a way?Where will their way out?

Huddled in the corner of the cell with her shoulders in her arms, Fang Ruxuan's mind was spinning rapidly.

Although even Fang Qizhi himself didn't know who framed him to such an end at this moment, Fang Ruxuan vaguely knew about it after living a new life.

That person probably had a good personal relationship with Prime Minister Qiu Zongde, or it was Qiu Zongde himself.

Thinking of Qiu Zongde, Fang Ruxuan clenched her teeth in hatred.

Holding a handful of hay tightly, without even noticing that the fangs had dug into her palm, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but think of what happened that year.

That year, when she was only ten years old, she went back to Beijing with her father to celebrate the New Year, and was coaxed and taken to the street to play. She met that stupid son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiu Zongde's second son, Qiu Ming.

For some reason, Qiu Ming kept blocking Fang Ruxuan's way and refused to let her go, even saying that Fang Ruxuan wanted to be his wife.

Fang Ruxuan is the beloved daughter that King Qi puts in the palm of his hand. Why would the royal family want to be a princess after Jiji? With the dignity of a princess, how could she be a daughter-in-law to the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion?What's more, Qiu Ming is still a fool.

It was just a few bad words, but afterwards, Qiu Zongde complained in front of the late emperor, with snot and tears, he said that the youngest son was humiliated by Fang Ruxuan, and that Fang Ruxuan, as a daughter of the clan, had lost her virginity. It should be punished severely.

This matter was settled in the end, but the rumors in the market were all saying that Qiu Zongde uttered cruel words, and he must hire Fang Ruxuan to be his stupid son as a wife and concubine in order to repay the shame of the year.

He thought it was just a rumor, neither King Qi nor Fang Ruxuan took it to heart.

But that night, after being knocked out and put into a sack, and seeing Qiu Zongde's arrogant and shameless face in Wutong Garden, Fang Ruxuan finally understood what it meant to offend a gentleman rather than a villain.

In the past few years, Fang Ruxuan has been imprisoned in the Wutong Garden like a woman. Although Fang Ruxuan has not seen how Qiu Zongde made money with her own eyes, Fang Ruxuan already knows a lot from the decorations in the Wutong Garden and the bad words of those maids and women. thing.

Prince Qi's mansion was confiscated back then, and part of the property fell into Qiu Zongde's hands.

Thinking back at this moment, Fang Ruxuan only hated that she was not a man, otherwise, even if she fought to the death, she would have to make Qiu Zongde decapitated in order to avenge that deep-seated revenge.

"I can't think about it, I can't think about it anymore..."

Shaking her head violently, pulling herself back from the memory, Fang Ruxuan thought to herself: The most urgent thing is how to get rid of the crime, otherwise, even if Qiu Zongde stood in front of her, she might not be able to avenge her.

Fang Ruxuan gradually calmed down.

After all, Emperor Rui'an was still his cousin, and his father was his uncle. With the trust of the late emperor and the respect that Emperor Rui'an had for his father when he was young, even if his father committed a felony, he would not be as innocent as he was in his previous life. Usually the case is settled so quickly.

If it is analyzed in this way, then someone must have said something in front of Emperor Rui'an, misleading Emperor Rui'an, and made him believe that King Qi had committed treason before he was convicted, and he had the idea of ​​dealing with it later, so that, Afterwards, imperial envoys were sent to try the case, which was just a formality.

"Who is this person..."

Familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared in my mind, and Fang Ruxuan murmured in a low voice, carefully screening out one by one.

If this person can be found, and when they see the imperial envoy at noon tomorrow, they will make an excuse and involve another important person. Maybe they will feel that the case is so important that they dare not decide it lightly.

As long as the imperial envoy can be persuaded not to convict so quickly, and to bring the case to the attention of Emperor Rui'an again, it is probably enough to win this opportunity.

As for those who can speak in front of Emperor Rui'an without arousing his disgust, they are either those senior ministers who are highly valued in the court, or they are those who often walk in the palace and are close to Emperor Rui'an and the Queen Mother. Prince.

What's more, they had to be in the capital when the incident happened.

But what if this person is Qiu Zongde himself?
Qiu Zongde's insidious and triumphant face appeared again in his mind, Fang Ruxuan's heart instantly turned cold when he thought that he met the conditions that he had selected.

Although it is not certain that he framed his father and made trouble in front of Emperor Rui'an at the most critical moment, as long as there is such a possibility, all his thoughts just now are useless.

It seems that the idea of ​​trying to persuade the imperial envoy to buy himself a chance is no longer feasible.

The urgency in her heart seemed to be burning, which made Fang Ruxuan a little uncontrollable manic.

Standing up and pacing back and forth in the cell, looking at the darkness outside the window, it looked like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open, Fang Ruxuan breathed in the somewhat choking cold air, forcing herself to calm down.

Since it is impossible to find that key person so quickly to express his feelings in front of Emperor Rui'an, can he use other means to persuade them?

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help thinking that in her previous life, before going to serve in Ningbei, her father gave a seal and a jade pendant to her elder brother and her respectively.

My father said that it was a family property that had not been recorded in Prince Qi's Mansion, and the seal and jade pendant were tokens that could mobilize those shopkeepers and get money from the Yinzhuang.

Leaving it to them is for the future. Maybe one day by chance, they can escape from Ningbei. At that time, they can live a worry-free life incognito with only the property in their hands, and they can still be rich for the rest of their lives.

In the previous life, the jade pendant on Fang Ruxuan's neck was snatched away by the people Qiu Zongde sent to abduct Fang Ruxuan, and its whereabouts are unknown.

this life...

Now that he hasn't been convicted yet, and hasn't gone to Ningbei, those things must still be in his father's hands.

It is said that money touches people's hearts. Although the only things left today are not comparable to the family properties that were confiscated in Prince Qi's Mansion, they are still a lot of wealth.

If this wealth can be exchanged for the safe reunion of the family, then it is worth it.

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Ruxuan felt a beam of light in her mind gradually become clearer and brighter.

At this moment, the first thing to do is to find the right person who can speak up in front of Emperor Rui'an. As long as he is not in a hurry to convict, other things can be planned slowly.

"You don't need a high position and authority, but you can speak up in front of the Holy One, and you won't show your traces. Such a person..."

While muttering, Fang Ruxuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

In just a moment, Fang Ruxuan felt hot in her heart, as if the wrongful accusation against Prince Qi's mansion could be cleared up immediately.
