Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 200 Five Years
Xie Yanniang asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"The girl is sick. She developed a high fever in the middle of the night. She couldn't subdue it, and she didn't wake up. The imperial doctor only said that there is no problem, but she was suffering from a nightmare." Ruan Jingxin twisted the veil, sat in front of the couch, and wiped her face. Wipe your hands.

Xie Yanniang was overwhelmed by the flattery, and said bluntly: "My lord, it's fine for the girls to come by themselves."

"It's just a little effort. The girl has been lying down for two days and two nights, feeling weak all over. Let me do this little thing for you." Ruan Jingxin obviously didn't take care of others before, her movements were jerky and clumsy, and she gradually got used to it. There are samples.

"What did the girl dream about, and she never woke up?"

Xie Yanniang shook her head blankly, she had just had a dream and actually slept for two full days.It's just that the pain still seems to remain on her body, and she recalled that burning tear, and she couldn't help being sad: "I dreamed of a life and death, but it was just a dream after all."

"Is it a dream of life and death? The girl's last dream was life and death, or death?" Ruan Jingxin twisted the veil again, gently wiped her cheek, and asked in a low voice.

Xie Yanniang hadn't completely escaped from the dream, and when she heard his question, she felt as if her chest was firmly grasped by two hands, and the pain was so painful that she could hardly breathe: "What's the difference between life and death? What's the difference? It's just that the person who is left behind is always more sad."

Ruan Jingxin paused, then gently wiped her beautiful eyebrows with a handkerchief, and said in silence for a moment: "The girl is right, no one wants to be the one who is left behind. If we can stay together forever, then it will be even more difficult." All right."

After listening, Xie Yanniang felt that her hands were firmly held by him.

Never part again, the two of them?
She blushed immediately, was Ruan Jingxin expressing her feelings to herself?

"Boss, Fang's house has been ransacked—" Pang Yudi rushed in, wanting to report to Ruan Jingxin, who knew they were holding hands inside, looking at each other affectionately, and immediately turned their heads and turned the room hard. The door closed, and he muttered to himself: "I didn't see anything, you guys go ahead! I'll just go in when I'm done."

Xie Yanniang glared at the door angrily, what to continue, what to finish!
Ruan Jingxin withdrew his hand helplessly, and raised his voice, "Come in, isn't there something wrong with Fangfu?"

Pang Yudi poked his head into the door secretly, and saw that the gauze curtain on Xie Yanniang's bed had been put down, and only a faint figure could be seen. Ruan Jingxin sat aside with a straight face, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck, it seemed that the boss was interrupted It's a good thing, this is angry, and carefully slowed down his tone.

"Boss, the emperor decreed this morning that Fang's house was confiscated, the men will be beheaded tomorrow, and the women will be sent as slaves and prostitutes." He shook his head, Fang Shilang was in a good life before, but he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

The household department is a fat job, so many people stare at this position.

It's a pity that Fang Shilang was highly praised by the people around him before, so he was no longer cautious in doing things, and boldly wanted to stare at Ruan Jingxin in order to make meritorious service and please the young emperor.

In the end, it was not flattering, and the flattery was slapped on the horse's leg, which even exposed the other two groups of people.

Pushing the matter to Xie Churou obviously failed to appease the anger of the emperor and the surrounding ministers.

Xie Yanniang glanced at Ruan Jingxin, and indeed, being with a king is like a tiger, a servant of the household department was thrown into the quagmire just like that.

It's just that the emperor made such a quick decree, so there must be someone behind the scenes to fuel the flames: "My lord is also interfering?"

Ruan Jingxin smiled and did not deny it: "You should also give the young emperor a warning. I am not a soft-footed shrimp, and anyone can trample on it at will. It is the emperor's indirect apology to me for disposing of Fang Shilang."

It was just a scapegoat to appease his anger and appease himself.

Anyway, for the young emperor, Fang Shilang's death is not painful at all, but he can support more obedient courtiers belonging to his own faction, why not do it?
Fang Shilang is self-willed, with mediocre abilities, and offended Ruan Jingxin, he will die as soon as he dies, and he can still serve the emperor for the last time, there is nothing wrong with it.

Only Fang's family is really in a disaster.

Xie Yanniang thought that if Mr. Xie knew that he had put in so much effort to get involved with the servant of the household department and sent Xie Churou to Fang's house in person, now that his calculations have failed, he might even implicate Xie's family.

Not to mention losing a daughter, the Xie family also offended someone indirectly, how should they deal with themselves in the future?
Pang Yudi raised the letter in his hand, and sighed, "I heard that Mrs. Fang committed suicide by bumping herself into a pillar in front of the eunuch who announced the decree in order to keep the second daughter of the Xie family."

Xie Yanniang raised her eyebrows, feeling strange and said: "Didn't the Fang family make a fuss before, accusing Second Sister that the child in her womb was not Fang Shilang's, why is Mrs. Fang willing to commit suicide in order to keep her now?"

Ruan Jingxin waved his hand, Pang Yudi could only swallow the words, and withdrew disheartenedly: "Miss, you don't know, the child in Miss Xie's womb, whether it belongs to the Fang family or someone else, has to stay now. .”

Fang Shilang will be pushed out and beheaded tomorrow. He has no children and is an only son. With this departure, the Fang family will be considered dead.

There is only a glimmer of hope, the child in Xie Churou's womb belongs to the Fang family, and the incense will continue.

Even if it wasn't, it could only be the fifteenth prince's child. For the child's sake, he might help out a little bit, so that after the Fang family's vitality was seriously injured, there was still a chance to make a comeback.

What's more, anyway, if you go into that kind of unseemly place, even your face will be trampled on the ground, trampled on the ground at will, Mrs. Fang might as well die.

If he died like this, the emperor might be angered.To die for Xie Churou was considered a decent reason. As for being said to have left other female relatives behind, she committed suicide in order to escape because of cowardice and fear.

The corner of Xie Yanniang's mouth curled into a hint of sarcasm, Mrs. Fang died happily, and the poor remaining female relatives are probably under strict surveillance, so there is no chance of suicide?

Xie Churou was even more forced to go to Liangshan. Even if she didn't want to keep the child in her womb, she was forced to die by Mrs. Fang now. If she didn't stay, she would be a sinner of the Fang family.

"Second sister will definitely keep the child. She has never done anything leaky. If Mrs. Fang dies, if the child is gone, she will become an excuse for the Fang family to vent their anger." What she didn't say was that Xie Churou would go in even if she had a child. After going to such a place, there is at least nearly a year to plan, and there is no need to receive guests unprepared like others, without even a chance to resist.

Xie Yanniang paused, summoned up her courage and said, "My lord, in fact, the child in Second Sister's womb must belong to the Fang family."

Ruan Jingxin stretched out his hand to lift the gauze curtain, and looked at her with heavy eyes: "Why is the girl so sure? The second girl of the Xie family indeed once lived in the same room with the fifteen princes, a man and a widow, for half an hour."

The implication is that he sent someone to watch Long Zhiyu, a man and a woman spent so long alone, and Xie Churou intentionally seduced him, it's impossible that nothing would happen.

After Xie Churou returned to the mansion, she also confessed this point to the Xie family, but it was a pity that Xie Ruitong got ahead of her in the end.

"Second Sister is not a lie, but she didn't tell the truth." Xie Yanniang hesitated for a moment, she was a little hard to tell, but she didn't think about it before, but now it is very important to Ruan Jingxin.

She closed her eyes and decided to go all out: "Your Excellency, do you know why the late Emperor didn't leave anyone else behind but only the fifteen princes? That's because...the fifteen princes are unlikely to leave any heirs in this lifetime."

Xie Yanniang finished speaking in one breath, and then opened her eyes, but seeing that Ruan Jingxin didn't look surprised, she probably guessed it a long time ago.

He stared at Xie Yanniang with a complicated expression, and only when she felt uncomfortable looking at her did he speak slowly: "It's not the first time, the girl seems to have a deep understanding of the fifteen princes?"

Even knowing such a secret thing, if Ruan Jingxin knew that the person sent to monitor had never seen Xie Yanniang and Long Zhiyu getting close in private, he would have suspected that the two had actually been together a long time ago, otherwise how would Xie Yanniang know?

Xie Yanniang was left speechless by the question, but she fell silent and wanted to confuse, but Ruan Jingxin never gave her another chance.

Last time, it wasn't that he didn't want to ask, but he was waiting for Xie Yanniang to ask.

It's a pity that Xie Yanniang never explained it clearly to herself.

Ruan Jingxin was puzzled, what was the relationship between her and the fifteenth prince, how could she know so clearly?
If Xie Ruitong, the side concubine of the Fifteenth Prince, knew about this and told Xie Yanniang instead, it would be impossible.

After all, he knew very well that Xie Ruitong was full of hostility towards Xie Yanniang, and the relationship between the two was not good.

Especially Xie Ruitong tried his best to marry into the palace, showing off his might, how could he tell Xie Yanniang such a shameful thing to slap himself in the face?
Even if Xie Churou knew about it, she would die if she didn't compete with Xie Yanniang and leaked Long Zhiyu's secret.

After much deliberation, Ruan Jingxin couldn't figure out where Xie Yanniang got the news from.

Or maybe Xie Yanniang's so-called foresight can even know such a secret thing?

Under Ruan Jingxin's gaze, Xie Yanniang became more and more at a loss, twisted her hands together nervously, and her breathing became short of breath.

She pondered for a moment, knowing that the regent was suspicious, and she could no longer pretend to be stupid, so she half-truthed and said: "From time to time, the daughter of the people has some strange dreams at night, dreaming about things in her previous life."

Speaking of the past, Xie Yanniang only concealed the matter of her rebirth, and said eloquently: "In the previous life, in order to win a sigh of relief, the daughters of the people forced the two sisters to marry into the palace and become the side concubine of the fifteenth prince. They thought that this life would be prosperous. , Who knows that the fifteenth prince is not a good man, he tortured the daughters of the people to death, and died of illness in less than five years."

"So Miss Xie's power of foresight is actually seeing these dreams, seeing what happened within five years." Ruan Jingxin looked at her clear eyes and knew that Xie Yanniang may have concealed a little bit, but most of what she said was the truth.

"What do you mean, girl, you can't know what happened five years later?"
