Chen Lianhe glanced at the half bowl of rice left in Xun Niannian's bowl and said, "Finish the rice in the bowl, and I will take you there."

"Really?" Xun Niannian narrowed her eyes.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe Chen Lianhe.

But, he agreed so readily that Xun Niannian was a little uncomfortable with it...

"Why, you don't want to go?" Chen Lianhe raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Think about it!”

Seeing that Chen Lianhe didn't seem to be lying to her, Xun Niannian picked up the chopsticks on the table without saying a word and quickly cleaned up the remaining rice in the bowl.

She did want to go see the people who were looking for their home.

Now that she has taken over someone else's daughter's body, she has the obligation to be filial to the original owner...

Half an hour later, Xun Niannian stood outside the Dali Temple.

Chen Lianhe did not go to the prison with Xun Niannian, but asked Su Wu to take her there.

Su Wu brought Xun Niannian to the entrance of the dungeon and said, "Princess, down below is where Xun's family is imprisoned. The men are on the left, the women are on the right, and Minister Xun is imprisoned somewhere else."

"I will wait here. Princess, if you need anything, just call me. By the way, the prince said that you should not stay in here for too long. I will take you back to the palace in half an hour."

"Oh, okay." Xun Niannian nodded.

Half an hour, or an hour, is enough.

After Xun Nian Nian came down from the dungeon, she did not walk forward immediately, but stood at the stairs to adapt to the dark environment below.

This was her first time to come to such a place where prisoners were held.

Although there was an oil lamp lit below, the light was still very dark.

Just as she was standing at the stairs adjusting to the environment, she could faintly hear some chatter coming from the dungeon not far ahead.

If you listen carefully you can hear it clearly.

"Mom, will our whole family be beheaded?" This was the voice of a little girl, who sounded only five or six years old, with a hint of tenderness in her voice.

Then, a soft woman's voice sounded: "Don't be afraid, Sisi. It won't happen. Daddy is innocent. The emperor will definitely find out the truth and let us go."

"Really?" the little girl asked.

The woman said softly, "Of course it's true. Have you forgotten that your third sister married the Sixth Prince, who is the governor in charge of the three departments. He is wise and fair, and he will definitely find out that Dad was wrongly accused."

Listening to these two voices, for some reason, some faces of people suddenly flashed through Xun Niannian's mind, and she almost immediately knew the owners of the two voices.

The little girl is the fourth lady of the Xun family, Xun Sisi, the fourth sister of Xun Nian Nian.

The woman with the gentle voice was Xun Nian Nian's mother, Zhao.

Xun Shangshu Xun Shenghong only married Zhao and had no other concubines.

Zhao gave birth to three sons and two daughters in total.

Xun Niannian is the third child in the family, with two older brothers.

The eldest brother Xun Wengui was born to be a businessman, and he basically manages most of the businesses outside the Xun family.

My second elder brother Xun Wenqing is extremely talented. He just turned twenty and has already won the title of the new top scholar. He now works under Mr. Zhou in the Hanlin Academy.

I have a younger sister and a younger brother.

My younger sister Xun Sisi is six years old this year, and my younger brother Xun Wen'an is just seven months old and is still in swaddling clothes.

"Unfair? If your uncle was wronged, how could the emperor arrest our entire family? Aunt, please stop deceiving yourself!" At this time, another shrill female voice suddenly interrupted in annoyance.

There was resentment in her voice.

This person, named Xun Ruowei, is Xun Nian Nian's cousin.

"Ruo Wei, don't be so rude." A scolding voice came from the cell opposite where the men were held.

Xun Ruowei cried, "Dad, it's already this late. Our whole family is going to be beheaded and die. Can't you let me say a few words?"

Xun Ruowei's words made the other party speechless for a moment.

Zhao looked at Xun Ruowei who suddenly started crying softly, feeling very apologetic. She took a handkerchief and went forward to wipe her tears, "Ruowei, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. Your sister Nian Nian is now the Sixth Prince's Consort. She will definitely ask the Sixth Prince for help. The Sixth Prince is wise and fair, and he will definitely not kill us unjustly."

"Stop pretending to be so hypocritical!" Xun Ruowei slapped away Zhao's hand that was stretched out to wipe her tears.

Then he snatched the handkerchief from Zhao's hand and threw it to the ground viciously.

"Nothing will happen? How can nothing happen? In this world, how many people who were imprisoned in this cell of the Dali Temple finally walked out alive?"

"Also, don't mention the Sixth Prince to me. Wasn't it the Sixth Prince who imprisoned us here?"

"He is the governor of the three divisions. If he hadn't given his approval, who would dare to bring our whole family here so casually?"

Xun Ruowei's roar made the surroundings silent again.

They all knew that what Xun Ruowei said was not wrong.

The cell they were in at the moment was where the Dali Temple held death row prisoners.

Almost no one who was imprisoned here survived the day of execution.

Xun Nian Nian, who was not far away, pursed her lips and snorted in her heart: [Didn’t Xun Ruowei walk out alive in the end? ]

Yes, in the original book, Xun Ruowei was the only person in the Xun family who was not beheaded and lived for most of the book.

As for the reason——

She was pregnant, but the child she was carrying was not an ordinary person's child, but the child of the Thirteenth Prince Chen Lianqi.

Chen Lianqi is the biological brother of the Fourth Prince Chen Lianmo. Chen Lianmo was able to successfully eliminate Chen Lianhe, a villain who was hiding deeply and was highly valued by the emperor, and finally become the crown prince. Chen Lianqi can be said to be a major assist.

Xun Ruowei is also one of the characters that Xun Nian Nian hates the most in the original book.

Of course it wasn’t because she was the only one in the Xun family who survived being beheaded.

Rather, she was one of the culprits in the unjust murder of the entire Xun family...
