That night.
"Sir, please let me go. I have nothing to do with the Rong family. You have arrested the wrong person." Inside the imperial prison, Sheng Pei climbed the fence and shouted hoarsely.
He was originally a temporary guest staying at the Annan Marquis' Mansion and had nothing to do with the mansion. Why wouldn't these people let him go!
"What are you arguing about? Get out of here." A weak voice sounded angry.
Rong Huanyao came to the door holding her arm, her tone sad, "Why didn't the eldest prince come to see me? Didn't you spread the news?" She still had the arrogance of a young lady from a marquis's mansion.
The jailer rolled his eyes at her and said, "How could the eldest prince come to such a filthy place? Don't dream!"
"Didn't you go, you bastards? Give me back my hairpin!" After roaring, Rong Huanyao couldn't stop coughing.
"Ahem... Dad, what should we do? I don't want to die yet..."
After Rong Yao was brought back to the cell again, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy in front of the small window, as if he had gone crazy.
The old lady also lay on the straw mat like a walking corpse, staring up in a daze, her tears having long since dried up.
"Han'er, I'm sorry for you. I should have left when I knew there was something wrong with Rong Qi Wang..." Mrs. Hu kept crying.
I knew from the beginning that Rong Qi Wang was a coward. Even if he became the prince by relying on unconventional means, his status would not last long!
She shouldn't have expected to be a marquis' wife. If she had waited until now, her entire family would have been executed.
"Rong Qiwang, you are a disaster. You have harmed me. You have killed me!"
Hu rushed towards Rong Qiwang and shook him.
Rong Qi Wang was disheartened at this moment and did not resist.
Mrs. Hu continued to curse, "If you and Qin Nanjing hadn't framed me, I would be the general's wife now, sought after by thousands of people."
"You've ruined me, destroyed my future, and now you're taking my life!"
Hearing this, Rong Qiwang had some reaction, as if he remembered something. He looked up at Hu, anger slowly rising on his face.
"What do you mean I designed you? It's obviously you who designed me!"
"If you hadn't exchanged my wine for mine, I would have been the one marrying Qin Nanjing. With the Qin family's help, I wouldn't have fallen to this point!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Hu's face was grim. "Even you like Qin Nanjing?"
"Why do you all like her? What's so good about her? Why do you all like her?"
Hey, another crazy one.
Rong Shihan sat in the corner. The light was dim and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Clang..."
The cell door was opened. "The execution meal is here. This is your last meal. Enjoy it."
Four or five people dressed as cooks entered the cell carrying food boxes.
The aroma filled the air and the whole family went to the table crying.
"Shihan, Shihan..." Someone sneaked up to Rong Shihan.
Looking up, Meng Fanfei's tense and determined face appeared in front of him.
"You...how did you get in?" Rong Shihan's eyes lit up.
"I sneaked into the chef who delivered the food. Shihan, I...how can I save you?" Meng Fanfei looked annoyed.
When the Annan Marquis's Mansion was besieged by the Imperial Guards, he wanted to go in to rescue people, but he could not find a way to get in.
"Do you really want to save me?" Rong Shihan asked softly with a sinister look in his eyes.
Meng Fanfei nodded without hesitation.
…
The sun is shining and the streets are bustling.
Vegetable leaves flew around in the air, and angry curses were heard everywhere.
Cries for mercy were drowned out as several prison vans drove through the long street.
At the vegetable market, there were constant wailing, knives were raised and fell, something rolled down, and was then covered with white cloth and thrown onto a cart.
The sun was setting in the west, and no wails could be heard from the place where blood was shed. Everything returned to peace.
The car curtain was lowered. "Let's go back." The man's voice seemed low, yet cheerful.
In the street corner and alley, a thin figure wearing a black gauze hat stared at the departing carriage.
In the hazy eyes, hatred is as real as substance.
"Uncle Rong."
The carriage stopped at the General's Mansion. Jiang Lingyu hurried over with a serious expression.
"Rong Shihan escaped."
"He still has this book?" Rong Baichuan raised his eyebrows.
"Last night at the execution dinner, his good friend Meng Fanfei sneaked in. Rong Shihan knocked him out and exchanged clothes with him."
Jiang Lingyu said, "I'm afraid he might harm you. You better be careful."
"Okay, we got it." Rong Baichuan nodded, "Don't worry, everyone in the family has guards, nothing will happen."
…
"Yue'e, are you really not living at home?" Rong Xuqing smoothed down the little girl's raised hair.
"..." Rong Yue'e shook her head. "Although these things have nothing to do with me, the people who did those things to you are all my family. I cannot stay by your side with peace of mind."
"Big sister, thank you..." Rong Yue'e bowed deeply to Rong Xuqing and Chaoxi, "Thank you for saving my life despite past grudges."
Rong Xuqing looked at this sensible little guy and felt quite distressed.
"Messenger, thank you for letting me go several times." Rong Yue'e looked at Rong Chaoxi with unprecedented piety in her eyes.
"Once I have resolved my obsession, I will return to accept my punishment."
Rong Chaoxi: “?…?”
Did she misunderstand something?
"Miss Xuqing, don't worry, I will take good care of the child." The director of the orphanage had a loving face and took Rong Yue'e back to arrange the house.
"Aunt Shuangying will be here soon. Mother has been taking care of the Cao residence these days. Let's go over and see her." Rong Xuqing said.
The two sisters walked back hand in hand.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the side of the road and rushed towards Rong Chaoxi. A cold light flashed by, and just when he was about to touch him——
Eh——
Rong Chaoxi slid away.
"Who are you? Be careful when you walk. If you hurt our Princess Chaoyang, you will be so exhausted that you will walk with trembling hands!" Zhou Ba was arrogant and kicked the person on the ground.
Why is this person so irritable outside? Is his well-behaved appearance at home just an act?
Fennel and Muxiu looked disgusted and moved away.
"Zhou Ba, don't be violent towards girls."
A stern voice sounded behind him, and then a head-banging blow hit him on the head.
Chen Ji came quickly and was about to help the girl up.
The girl slid two steps, got up, and rushed into the alley across.
Chen Ji withdrew his hand angrily.
Zhou Ba snorted heavily.
"You're so kind when you see a girl. I'll definitely tell Sister Shuangying about it!"
Rong Xuqing raised her lips and smiled softly,
"You've been together like this for six years?"
In the first year of Chen Ji's undercover work, he wrote to Rong Baichuan saying that he was very lonely.
So, Rong Baichuan sent Zhou Ba, who was eight years old and had good martial arts skills, over to help him bully others outside.
After a few years, Zhou Ba became more and more skilled in working outside.
Chen Ji sighed softly.
He never talks about the hardships he has endured over the years.
Rong Chaoxi withdrew his gaze and held Rong Xuqing's hand.
"Big sister, let's go and take Sister Yue'e home."
Rong Xuqing: “.”
