Xie Fanglan thought about it carefully for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was very brilliant.
However, there are many things to do, and if this thing is to be completed, it must not leak out, and no one can see the clues. There are many people in the family and they talk a lot. If you are not careful, someone might overhear it.
Although after a recent reorganization and the swift sale of a group of people, County Magistrate Xie's backyard has been much more tidy, Xie Fanglan knows that her control still does not extend to the entire family.
Xie Fanglan made up her mind that she must make this thing happen this time.
Then, I can only wait until I have finished the things at hand and have some time to plan carefully, and I must ensure that there are no mistakes in every link.
Xie Fanglan made up her mind and felt sleepy for a rare moment. She closed her eyes and took a nap for a while. She slept for more than an hour.
I even missed lunch.
But she did not wake up by herself, but was pushed awake by her maid Hui'er.
Xie Fanglan was displeased when she woke up. How could there be such a bold servant in this house who dared to disturb her lunch break?
But when she opened her eyes, before she could get angry, she saw Hui'er's pale little face and a panic-stricken look.
Xie Fanglan knew that something big had happened!
Otherwise, Hui'er, the maidservant who was used to running around her mother and herself, would have seen all kinds of scenes. She would definitely not look like a lost dog.
Hui'er cried to Xie Fanglan:
"Seventh Miss, something big happened in our family!
Jinyiyunqi brought many fierce-looking officers and soldiers to search the house! They took off the master's hat and official uniform on the spot, and put the master in a wooden cangue and shackles!
My wife has fainted from crying!"
Hui'er's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Xie Fanglan on the head.
Her ears were ringing and her vision was blurry. She felt like she couldn't recover for a long time. Hui'er's voice seemed far away, as if it was separated by many barriers, making it difficult for her to hear clearly.
It took her a long time to understand what Hui'er meant.
"Miss Seven! Miss Seven! Wake up, Miss Seven!"
Hui'er shook her anxiously, crying and shouting.
Xie Fanglan's pale and dazed look really scared her.
Hui'er always felt that Miss Seven was no less capable than those men.
In all her years in the Xie family, this was the first time she saw Seventh Miss Xie Fanglan lose her composure, her mind, and look so pale.
Xie Fanglan finally came back to her senses from this stimulation. She felt her eyes go dark and her throat tasted fishy and sweet, as if a salty liquid filled her mouth.
Xie Fanglan knew that she was too angry and couldn't stand the stimulation, so she vomited blood.
She calmed down and stood up.
The clothes on my body were wrinkled because of the lunch break.
She didn't bother to change her clothes. She simply combed her hair, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, changed her handkerchief, and walked towards the front yard.
After taking less than two steps, she suddenly turned back and quickly packed up the small and easy-to-carry valuable jewelry in her dressing box and stuffed them into her waist.
As for some of the cheap ones that took up a lot of space, she left them in the box.
She also hurriedly wrapped up the banknotes hidden in the secret compartment of her dressing box in a handkerchief and stuffed them into her bosom.
In addition, she took a purse filled with small silver coins in her hand, ready to use them to give rewards at any time.
The Xie family had originally been looted, and these jewelry, banknotes, small silver coins and purses were later sent by relatives and friends to help them out.
I just don't know why my father is so unlucky. His house was just ransacked by thieves, and before he could even recover, he was punished by the imperial court!
Could it be that something happened to my father's letters and account books?
After Xie Fanglan went through the initial shock, her mind raced as she kept wondering what had gone wrong.
However, before she could reach the front yard, she ran into a group of soldiers who came to search the house.
Xie Fanglan's expression changed.
During the years that her father had been in officialdom, Xie Fanglan had seen houses being confiscated.
Those soldiers are rude, brutal and unreasonable. No matter how noble or delicate you are, you will only suffer losses and humiliation in front of them!
Xie Fanglan's heart began to beat wildly.
She was afraid of being molested and of having the banknotes and jewelry hidden on her body searched.
However, the expected humiliation did not come, and the discipline of this team of soldiers seemed to be quite good.
Behind them was a young man in black, directing them to make way for Xie Fanglan:
"It's the daughter of the Xie family. Don't disturb her, but ask her to leave the jewelry behind."
Upon hearing this, Xie Fanglan immediately took off a jade hairpin that was clear and translucent, a step-shake with gold and ruby, and a few pearl flowers from her head, and respectfully presented them with both hands:
"These are my favorite things, and they are very valuable. I hope you will accept them. The most valuable one is this jade hairpin, so please don't break it."
The young officer in black was very pleased with Xie Fanglan's tact and gave her some advice:
"Go through here and wait with Madam Xie in front! Don't wander around the yard, or the soldiers might be rude and bump into you again."
Xie Fanglan bowed, thanked him, and said goodbye.
Hui'er followed her, not daring to breathe.
The two men successfully left the soldiers, walked through the moon gate and entered the front yard.
