After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 168
Lin Sujin still had lingering fears when she escaped from the East Palace. She hid in a small house where Lin Xixun lived.

She asked Hui'er to go out and inquire for a few days before she found out that the prince had already been imprisoned, the concubine and all the concubines were taken away and imprisoned, even the servants in the mansion were convicted, beheaded in severe cases, and imprisoned in light cases exile.

And her portrait has been posted all over the city, and officers and soldiers searched for her whereabouts from house to house.

She didn't dare to go out, she was suspicious all day long, and she was locked in this room, and she didn't realize that more than ten days had passed.

Apart from Lin Xi, she only had Huier as a maidservant, who didn't dare to cook, and ate dry food and pancakes brought by Lin Xi every day to satisfy her hunger. She hid in the house and didn't even dare to light a lamp.

She became a street rat, hiding in this small room, even if there was a slight movement outside, she was terribly frightened, she curled up in the corner of the wall, her body trembling.

Lin Xi opened the door and came in. Seeing her like this, she felt distressed, and said: "Miss, the city is peaceful now. After a few days, when the officers and soldiers in the city relax their vigilance, I will take the lady out of the city."

The city was heavily guarded, and the city gate was guarded by heavy soldiers. The abolished prince had no feelings for her, and he must have confessed in full when the case was adjudicated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. The crime she committed was enough to be executed by Ling Chi. Getting out of town is easier said than done.

Lin Sujin nodded and said, "Go and arrange it!"

She never thought that one day she would be in this cramped room. She was in fear all day long, and there was also an unpleasant musty smell. The suffocating and disgusting smell almost drove her crazy.

Only a few rays of light came in from the gloomy room, but she still felt that the light was very dazzling.

She thought for a while, and then called Lin Xi in again, "Jiang Ling must have cast a net in the city, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to escape. We have to bring someone with us to have a slight chance of escaping."

……

In just one month, Xing Ruyan made a marriage arrangement with the concubine of the sixth-rank official family. That Mr. Li was really stingy, and he was about to receive an auspicious gift tomorrow, but he only sent him a low-quality jade bracelet. And a piece of satin that was in fashion last month, not even a decent piece of jewelry.

She was so angry that she dropped the pair of green bracelets to the ground, and the bracelets were smashed into pieces. She lost her temper a lot, and Zishan persuaded: "Miss, these bracelets are worth some silver anyway. In the future, if you marry Li The government still has to live."

The family background of the Li family is really mediocre. The husband she is going to marry has three older brothers on his head. Such a good thing as inheriting the family business will not fall on his head. Thinking about it this way, I feel hopeless, and every day in the future will be a miserable and difficult day.

"I don't want to marry, I'm going to find my mother, and let my mother find a better marriage for me."

There was a burst of laughter from outside the door, "She is still wishful thinking! The old woman who has been returned by others is still picky, I am afraid that Mr. Li is going to divorce her engagement."

"Yes! She just gave up. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and Mr. Li was about to run away with others, so he really couldn't get married, haha."

That laughter was particularly piercing, Xing Ruyan held her breath in her chest, and those harsh words were like a knife piercing her heart.

It was her two young and beautiful concubine sisters who were talking. She was sent back by the Jiang family several times, and it was unknown who leaked the news. Everyone in the family knew about it, and everywhere she went, people laughed at her wishful thinking.

I heard that the Jiang Mansion is going to have a wedding. Ever since the general canceled the engagement with Princess Zhaoyang, there has been news that Su Mei is going to be his wife. My grandmother even sent her back for the sake of the Jiang family, so she went to Jiang Mansion to speak. After learning what she had done, she was so angry that she could not speak for a while, and went back that night.

She was about to turn back, but then she thought again, now that her father and brother knew that she had been sent back by the Jiang family and had not been able to get married with the Jiang family, since they had no help in their official career, their attitude towards her was no longer the same as before.

That bitch of the Bai family gave her father a pillow blow again, telling her to stay behind closed doors to wait for her marriage, so as not to be ashamed to go out.

She was afraid that the shabby dowry from the Li family would really make her laugh out loud in a few days.

Zishan held her back and persuaded: "Madam is in a difficult situation in the mansion, Miss, please think more about Madam."

She covered her ears, not wanting to hear those harsh words, but the more she avoided, those words kept drilling into her ears, and she was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes.

Since she was sent back, she suffered from insomnia all night, her face was dull, her eyes were dull, she seemed to have aged ten years overnight, her eye sockets were sunken, and she was tortured by those words, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled. The girl in her boudoir unexpectedly saw her 30-year-old appearance.

Tears blurred her eyes before she knew it. She held up her tears with a handkerchief, and cried softly under the blanket. After a while, the harsh voice outside the door finally stopped.

Her almond eyes were red and swollen from crying, only heard a muffled sound, Zishan suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, and a strange man broke in.

She was about to yell out when the dagger in the man's hand was already on her neck, and the cold eyes implied a warning.

"Don't make a sound, or I will kill you with one knife."

Xing Ruyan was terrified and trembling with fright, she could only nod, "I will give you all my money, please don't kill me!"

The man sneered, did not speak, but raised his hand to slap her on the back of the neck, and she immediately lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The man carried her and climbed over the wall in the dark.

Xing Ruyan was woken up by being splashed with water, and found that she was in a dark room with no light coming in from the room.

There was a woman sitting very close to her. She couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she only heard the woman say: "Do you want revenge? Your current situation is due to two people, don't you hate them?" ?"

Naturally she hated it, she hated Jiang Ling's ruthlessness, and she hated Su Mei even more for depriving her of the position that should belong to her, the position of the general's first wife should be hers.

"I'll give you a sum of money. After all, you're in a difficult situation. It's hard to survive without money."

Xing Ruyan needs a lot of money, and the Xing family has many children, so the dowry left to her is pitiful. She is used to living a life of pampering, so how can she be willing to live a hard life.

When money was mentioned, the fear in her heart eased a bit, "What do you want me to do!"

The woman said slowly: "It's refreshing to deal with smart people, but you can save yourself a bit of talking. I'll let you draw a map of Jiangfu."

Xing Ruyan lived in Jiangfu for more than a month, so she must be very familiar with the terrain of Jiangfu.

Xing Ruyan agreed without thinking.

She seemed to hear the sound of the door opening, a faint light came in, and a woman's slender figure walked out, but unfortunately the figure passed by, she couldn't see anything clearly, and she didn't know who the man and woman were.

It was the man who tied her up and came in with a pen and ink. There was a small box on the table. The man opened the box, and inside was a thick stack of banknotes. It is estimated that there should be a few banknotes in the box. Qianliang.

She drew a detailed map of Jiangfu and handed it to the man. Then she was knocked out again and sent back to her boudoir without a sound. When she woke up the next day, everything seemed to be a dream. The pain reminded her that the man had been here, and the small box on the table containing the banknotes, she was indeed kidnapped last night.

She quickly hid the box.

Lin Sujin looked at the map repeatedly for a long time, then gave Lin Xi some instructions and said, "Go and prepare!"

Now it's autumn, and the ends of the leaves of the pear trees in the pear courtyard are slowly withering and yellowing, and the autumn wind blows the withered and yellowing leaves, falling into the pool water.

As soon as the night fell, the wind began to blow, and the third watch had passed. The watchmen passed by Jiangfu yawning and beating drums. A wisp of smoke began to rise from the mansion, and soon the smoke became bigger and thicker. Rolling, a voice came from inside: "Hurry up and put out the fire, the yard is on fire."

Soon, due to the wind, the fire grew stronger and began to spread uncontrollably to every corner of Jiangfu.

Mrs. Jiang hurried out of the Shouhe Hall with the help of others, and hurriedly ordered people to put out the fire, and sent people to count the people in the mansion to find out the cause of the fire. In the time it took to make a cup of tea, the housekeepers in the mansion reported back and forth: "Old lady, The fire first started from the kitchen in the backyard, and then spread to Yuzhu Courtyard, Yuhe Courtyard, Shouhe Hall, and by the way, the fire in Luoli Courtyard is the largest."

Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows twitched, there were hundreds of people in the mansion, she felt that she had overlooked something just now, and she really disappeared from Luoliyuan.

Su Mei likes to be quiet and doesn't like too many people to serve her. There are only two servants in Luoliyuan, Nanny Shang and Jin Chuan, but she didn't see the three masters and servants come out just now.

She asked anxiously: "Have all the people from Luoliyuan come out? Have you seen Su Mei?"

Today, Jiang Ling was ordered to personally escort Princess Zhaoyang and Qin Mobei, and they were supposed to be back in two days. When Erlang was not in the mansion, the mansion caught fire.

The servants in the mansion quickly reported back and forth: "Madam, the fire in Luo Liyuan is too big, the servants can't put out the fire at all, let alone rush in to save people."

Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale, she staggered, and almost fell to the ground, "Help me to have a look."

Although she didn't like Su Mei, but the child in her womb was her great-grandson, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hurried to Luoliyuan.

The yard turned into a sea of ​​flames, the pear trees in the yard had turned into fire trees, those burning branches had begun to break, Su Mei's house had also been engulfed by the fire.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes went dark, and she passed out soon.
