the other side.
In the dark cell, Wan Ruxueku was sitting in a corner, her eyes were looking outside the gate, and her eyes were always on the patrolling guards not far away.
It wasn't until the jailer deliberately walked from east to west and turned into another large cell that she got up, walked to the door, and whispered a word to the cell directly opposite her.
: "What about things?"
There was a person living in the cell opposite Wan Ruxue, who only entered an hour ago, saying that the men's cell was full.
After Wan Ruxue finished speaking, the middle-aged man who had entered the prison an hour got up, took out a letter folded into small squares from his sleeve, and threw it into Wan Ruxue's pocket without any mistakes.
cell.
Wan Ruxue picked it up, and through the dim light from the skylight, she saw the contents of the letter clearly.
After reading it, she crumpled up the letter paper again, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty.
In the opposite cell, the middle-aged man said: "Your Excellency means that you may wrong Miss Wronged."
Wan Ruxue looked at him, she was always arrogant and reckless, but now she was very calm: "It's nothing, Daddy will save me."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord also said that Mr. Qin has arrived in Xijin County, and he will come to see you today, miss."
Wan Ruxue's eyes brightened in vain, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if gaining momentum all at once.
…
Another hour passed, and there was the sound of footsteps outside.
Wan Ruxue looked up, and saw a figure against the light walking slowly towards her.
Wan Ruxue was suddenly a little nervous, curled her fingers lightly, and then hurriedly stroked her messy hair, trying to make herself look less embarrassed.
Although Qin Yuanchuan has a close relationship with the Wan family, he is still an official of the imperial court after all. Even if he is across the county, if he insists on asking, he is still eligible to enter the prison in another county.
When Qin Yuanchuan saw Wan Ruxue, he could barely recognize her. The proud woman who loves beauty as much as her life lost all her brilliance in this simple, desolate and dilapidated cell.
No matter how delicate it is, even because it hasn't taken a bath for a long time, the body smells faintly.
With the excuse of dismissing the jailer, Qin Yuanchuan stood in front of Wan Ruxue, and through the cold iron bars, he let out a deep breath.
Wan Ruxue reached out her fingertips through the railing to pull Qin Yuanchuan's clothes.
Qin Yuanchuan saw it, straightened his back, and frowned slightly.
Wan Ruxue let go of her hand again, and lowered her head.
"What should I do, the adults have already told you, and you know everything?" Qin Yuanchuan asked in a business-like manner.
Wan Ruxue nodded, but even if she was mentally prepared, even if she knew that her own father would not harm her, she would still be nervous, afraid, and worried, and asked shyly, "You
Will you stay with me? "
Qin Yuanchuan lowered his voice: "Are you going to involve me?"
Wan Ruxue immediately shook her head, a little flustered: "Yuanchuan, you know we'll be fine. I, I just want to see you more. With you here, I won't be afraid of anything."
Qin Yuanchuan said coldly: "Whether you look at me or not, you can't be afraid. This matter is of great importance, and you can't afford to lose it!"
Such an orderly tone hurt Wan Ruxue very much. She thought that Qin Yuanchuan would come all the way to see her in this state, and would feel distressed and cherish her.
So cold, just like before, never giving her any good looks.
Qin Yuanchuan only stayed for a while and then left. His appearance was like a reassurance pill, which was specially used to appease Wan Ruxue. When the effect was achieved, there was no need to waste time.
After leaving the prison, Qin Yuanchuan wanted to go back to the inn. His status was not suitable for shuttling through the yamen for a long time, especially since there were quite a lot of people patrolling the mansion here.
But before he left, he bumped into an acquaintance with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
He frowned.
"Qin Yuanchuan?" The other party called him immediately.
Qin Yuanchuan stood still, staring at the man approaching, his eyes flicked across the man's face: "Master Chong, you are..."
Wan Chong went straight to the county yamen after he left Rongrong Mansion. He wanted to see his adoptive father, but the people in the yamen didn't let him approach at all. After he lost his temper, he could only go to the prison to see his sister, but
Met Qin Yuanchuan by accident.
Speaking of which, Wan Zhong and Qin Yuanchuan are also very familiar. At the beginning, Wan Fu bought Qin Yuanchuan into the mansion as a servant, so that he could take care of Wan Zhong and be Wan Zhong's school boy.
It's just that the relationship between the two is mediocre, and later Wan Zhong entered the barracks, and the two of them didn't have much contact with each other anymore.
But Wan Chong also knew vaguely that his brother-in-law Sun Tong was a waste, and that his sister seemed to have something to do with Qin Yuanchuan, but with his identity, there was no room for him to intervene in these matters, besides
The adoptive father agreed, and he could only acquiesce.
Seeing Qin Yuanchuan outside the prison, Wan Zhong was a little relieved, and a sincere smile was forcefully squeezed out on his colorful face: "Are you coming to see my sister?"
Qin Yuanchuan nodded slightly, with a little pity in his eyes: "Your sister has suffered a lot."
Wan Zhong hurriedly followed up the interface: "Yes, when my sister was born in rich clothes and rich food, they are really strange when they have suffered such grievances. Why do they insist on slandering my sister for killing people? Besides, they don't even
There is no evidence, all day long I will bite my sister's bad things about punishing servants before, since she is a servant, of course she will be punished if she does something wrong. If the punishment is heavy, how can it be persecution
And does this have anything to do with her murder? That pink fan is pitiful, but it doesn't necessarily mean that my sister killed her, my sister herself said that she didn't kill her... "
Wan Zhong babbled a lot, as if he was trying to exonerate Wan Ruxue, but also as if he was trying to convince himself that the truth was like this.
Qin Yuanchuan listened quietly, the expression on his face was neither salty nor dull, until Wan Zhong said "the servant should be punished", he raised his eyebrows slightly, and his lips pursed into a straight line.
After Wan Zhong finished speaking, the gentleness on Qin Yuanchuan's face was gone, his facial features were strained, and his tone was slightly sarcastic: "Master Zhong is still the same as when he was a child, innocent and innocent."
Wan Zhong didn't understand his metaphor, so he let out a bewildered "ah".
Qin Yuanchuan chuckled again: "It's nothing, I just think that a person like Young Master Chong should live a more comfortable life."
Wan Zhong was awkward when he heard his address, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so alien, you are also my half-brother-in-law, and you are a few years older than me, just call me Ah Chong."
Qin Yuanchuan glanced at the palm on his shoulder, turned sideways to avoid it, and said in a shallow voice, "There is a difference between master and servant, Master Zhong, please don't break me."
Wan Chong frowned, and finally felt something was wrong: "Do you not like me that much? Or have I offended you before?"
"No." Qin Yuanchuan said coldly, "It's just that I don't want to overstep."
Wan Zhong opened his mouth: "What arrogance, we also grew up together, how can there be so many rules..."
"Master Chong still wants to see Miss? You should go."
Wan Chong was so choked by him that he couldn't finish talking, and in the end he still felt that Qin Yuanchuan didn't like him. He was quite disappointed. Today, wherever he went, he was disliked by others, and he was disciplined.
The eldest brother didn't say anything, and Qin Yuanchuan gave him a supercilious look when he came here.
