Chapter 1371 Wherever I Go, I Am Disliked by Others.
the other side.
In the dark cell, Wan Ruxueku sat in a corner, her eyes looking outside the door bars, always looking at the guard patrolling not far away.
After the jailer deliberately walked from the east to the west and turned into another large cell, she got up, walked to the door, and called out to the cell directly opposite her in a low voice: "Where are the things?"
There was a man living in the cell opposite Wan Ruxue. He entered an hour ago, saying that the men's cell was full.
After Wan Ruxue finished speaking, the middle-aged man who entered the cell an hour later stood up, took out a letter folded into a small square from his sleeve, and threw it into Wan Ruxue's cell without any mistake.
Wan Ruxue picked it up and read the contents of the letter clearly through the dim light from the skylight.
After reading it, she crumpled the letter into a ball, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty.
In the cell opposite, the middle-aged man said: "My lord, I may be wronging you."
Wan Ruxue looked at him. She, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, was very calm at the moment: "It's okay, daddy will save me."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord also said that Lord Qin has arrived in Xijin County and will come to see you today."
Wan Ruxue's eyes brightened in vain, and her hands clenched into fists, as if she suddenly gained motivation.
…
Another hour passed, and the sound of footsteps came from outside.
Wan Ruxue looked up and saw a figure walking slowly towards her against the light.
Wan Ruxue suddenly felt nervous, curled her fingers slightly, and 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. Even if he is across counties, if he insists on requesting it, he is still qualified to enter the prison of another county.
When Qin Yuanchuan saw Wan Ruxue, he almost didn't recognize her. The proud woman who loved beauty as much as her life lost all her luster in this simple and desolate shabby cell. I took a shower and my body smelled faintly.
With an excuse to dismiss the jailer, Qin Yuanchuan stood in front of Wan Ruxue and took a deep breath across the cold iron bars.
Wan Ruxue stretched out her hand, passed her fingertips through the railing, and pulled Qin Yuanchuan's clothes.
Qin Yuanchuan saw it, straightened his back and frowned slightly.
Wan Ruxue released her hands again and lowered her head.
"My Lord has told you what to do, and you already know it?" Qin Yuanchuan asked businesslikely.
Wan Ruxue nodded, but even if she was mentally prepared, even if she knew that her biological father would not harm her, she would still be nervous, scared, and worried. She asked timidly: "Will you stay with me?"
Qin Yuanchuan lowered his voice: "Are you going to involve me too?"
Wan Ruxue immediately shook her head, a little panicked: "Yuanchuan, you know that nothing will happen to us. I, I just want to see more of you. With you here, I have nothing to fear."
Qin Yuanchuan said coldly: "You can't be afraid whether you look at me or not. This matter is of great importance and you can't afford to make any mistakes!"
Such a commanding tone made Wan Ruxue very hurt. She thought that Qin Yuanchuan, who had come all the way here, would feel sorry for her and cherish her when he saw her like this. She didn't expect that he would be so cold, just like before, he had never treated her well. What a good look to give.
Qin Yuanchuan only stayed for a while and then left. His appearance was like a reassurance, specially designed to appease Wan Ruxue. Once 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 traveling in the yamen for a long time, especially since there were many people patrolling the yamen here.
But before he left, he bumped into an acquaintance with a bruised nose and face.
He frowned.
"Qin Yuanchuan?" The other party called him immediately.
Qin Yuanchuan stood still and stared at the man approaching, his eyes traveling on the man's face: "Master Zhong, what are you..."
After Wan Zhong left Congrong Mansion, he went straight to the county government office. He wanted to see his adoptive father, but the people in the government office wouldn't let him get close at all. After losing his temper, he could only go to the prison to see his sister, but unexpectedly met Qin Yuanchuan. .
Speaking of which, Wan Zhong and Qin Yuanchuan were also very familiar with each other. Wan Mansion hired Qin Yuanchuan as a servant in order to let him take care of Wan Zhong and be Wan Zhong's book boy.
However, the relationship between the two was average. Later, Wan Zhong entered the barracks, and the two had no contact with each other anymore.
But Wan Zhong also vaguely knew that his brother-in-law Sun Tong was a loser, and his sister seemed to have some relationship with Qin Yuanchuan. However, due to his status, he had no room to interfere in these matters. Besides, his adoptive father agreed, so he could only acquiesce.
Seeing Qin Yuanchuan outside the prison, Wan Zhong was a little relieved, and a sincere smile appeared on his colorful face: "Are you coming to see my sister?"
Qin Yuanchuan nodded gently, with a hint of pity in his eyes: "Your sister has suffered a lot." Wan Zhong hurriedly followed up: "Yes, my sister has been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child. It's really strange to them. , why do they insist on slandering my sister for murder? Besides, they have no evidence at all, and they will keep biting the old sister for punishing servants all day long. Since they are servants, what should they do?
Of course you will be punished if you do something wrong. If the punishment is severe, how can it be considered persecution? And does this have anything to do with her murder? That pink fan is pitiful, but it’s not necessarily my sister who killed her. My sister herself said she didn’t kill anyone..."
Wan Zhong rambled on a lot, as if he was exonerating Wan Ruxue, and also as if he was trying to convince himself that the truth was like this.
Qin Yuanchuan listened quietly, with a neutral expression on his face. It was not until Wan Zhong said, "The servant should be punished" that he slightly raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips into a straight line.
After Wan Zhong finished speaking, the gentleness on Qin Yuanchuan's face was gone. He tensed up his features and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Young Master Zhong is still as innocent and innocent as he was when he was a child."
Wan Zhong didn't understand his metaphor and said "Ah" in confusion.
Qin Yuanchuan chuckled again: "It's nothing, I just feel that people like Master Zhong should live more comfortably."
Wan Zhong felt uncomfortable with his title, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop being so outspoken. You are 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 away from it, and said in a low voice: "There is a difference between master and servant. Master Zhong, don't try to hurt me."
Wan Zhong frowned and finally felt something was wrong: "Don't you like me very much? Or have I offended you before?"
"No." Qin Yuanchuan said with a cold expression, "I just don't want to overstep my bounds."
Wan Zhong opened his mouth: "What transgression? We have grown up together, how can there be so many rules..."
"Master Zhong still wants to see the young lady? It's time for you to go." Wan Zhong was choked by him and couldn't finish his words. In the end, he still felt that Qin Yuanchuan didn't like him. He was quite disappointed. Today, he was being harassed wherever he went. He was so despised, not only was he beaten by Brother Ji, but he also received a look from Qin Yuanchuan when he came here.
