After returning from the embroidery workshop, Furong kept thinking that she must help the Marquis, and the Marquis would see her efforts.
When the time comes, maybe the Marquis will take him into his room without the Queen Mother granting him a marriage.
Furong was very smart. As the days passed by, neither the maids who worked together in the mansion nor his wife Tao Shi Wanniang could tell what Furong was thinking.
Qinglan would also come to the house from time to time to look for Furong.
Since Qinglan was specially invited by Princess Xian from her natal family, she was very unfamiliar to everyone. Furong did not disclose her details, only saying that she was the embroiderer of the embroidery workshop and a sister from her own village.
Everyone in the mansion believed it, and naturally Mrs. Tao also believed it.
No one thought that Furong was willing to become the wise king's spy.
Several days passed in a flash.
One day Qinglan came to Furong and brought a message from King Xian, asking her to find a way to get a letter from the Marquis. Any letter would be fine, as long as it was in the Marquis's handwriting and had his seal.
Fleur was in trouble.
Because these things are in the Marquis's study, and only the ladies can go to the study, and they cannot enter.
Seeing Fu Rong hesitate, Qing Lan became a little anxious.
"This is the order of the wise king. If you can't handle it, think about your family."
Fu Rong said angrily: "I treat you wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect you to drag me down. I recognize you as my sister, but you hurt me like this!"
Qinglan sneered twice, "If you hadn't been greedy for Marquis Jingyuan, you wouldn't have voluntarily entered the prince's trap. Why would you have gotten off the boat? What's more, after it happens, you will be the prince's equal wife, what? Don’t want to be?”
"You?" Fleur gritted her teeth.
"Okay, my good sister, you should find a way to fulfill the prince's order. The day when you marry the prince is not far away, haha."
After saying that, Qinglan turned and left.
Two days later, Furong said to Mrs. Tao: "Madam, the weather is good today and the sun is suitable. The books in the Marquis's study are going to be dried."
Mrs. Tao thought about it, and that was exactly the case.
The books in my husband's study are his treasures. It has been rainy the past few days, and I was worried that the books would become moldy.
Today happens to be the sixth day of June, and the weather is fine. Folks say, "On the sixth day of June, every house is enjoying the sunshine."
"Okay, the weather has been bad the past few days, but the sunshine has been good these days. Today is the sixth day of June again. Come on, let's go to the Marquis's study."
Furong was happy, did you see it? God is helping her.
Mrs. Tao brought a group of girls and women to the Marquis's study and began to move the books to the yard to dry.
The Crown Princess also came, and she was responsible for looking after Lian Sheng and her own son.
The two uncles and nephews are very naughty. They are both children over two years old, which is when Si Liu doesn't understand.
Seeing the books on the ground, I became interested and wanted to run to the books. The busy princess and wives surrounded me everywhere.
Fleur rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Madam, please rest for a while. There are still more than a dozen books on the bookshelf. The servants and the girls will finish them soon."
Mrs. Tao didn't think about anything else, but her eldest grandson accidentally rolled into the pile of books, so she hurried forward to grab her eldest grandson.
After a while, Furong took a few little girls into the study.
While the little girl was taking the book, she quickly opened the drawer of the desk. There were actually several letters and a small box containing seals.
He grabbed a letter and a small seal and quickly stuffed them into his arms.
In just a few breaths, the little girls moved their books and walked out, and she quickly followed.
Fleur was the most capable person around Madam, so she had her own separate room. At night, she read the letters happily.
What a coincidence, this letter is really an autographed letter from Marquis Jingyuan. It is a letter of greetings to his mentor. It was not sent out due to time constraints before the expedition.
A few days later, the letter and the seal arrived in the hands of the wise king.
However, Furong did not wait for the Queen Mother to confer marriage, but instead waited for the man in black.
After finishing the cleaning in the evening, Mrs. Tao had just put her youngest son to sleep when she heard a commotion in the front yard.
The counselor Mr. Wu and the captain of the guard came in a hurry. Prince Xin sent someone to deliver the letter. The prince was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Ben and the prince were escorted back to the capital. However, he was ordered to be executed by the emperor on the way!
If someone wants to attack the Hou Mansion, please report to the king and ask his wife to leave quickly.
Mrs. Tao was shocked. She had been the mistress of the Hou Mansion for many years, and she calmed down instantly.
At this time, the Crown Princess came running. Someone in black was already at the door, and the guards were fighting.
Mrs. Tao picked up the sleeping Lian Sheng, kissed the child's little face with tears, and gave it to Mr. Wu.
"Sir, I will repay your kindness to Wan Niang in the next life. My husband and eldest son are dead, and Wan Niang will never live alone!"
"Yu Hui, quickly bring Mian'er and take her away with your husband!" Mrs. Tao quickly said to her eldest daughter-in-law.
Just as the Crown Princess was about to leave, the sound of fighting came from outside the house. It turned out that someone in black had arrived at Fuliyuan.
The Crown Princess Yu Hui was heartbroken, "Mom, there is no coward in the Hou family. Lian Sheng is his father's destiny. Mr. Wu told Lian Sheng that when he grows up, he will avenge his nephew."
After saying that, the Crown Princess took out the soft whip from her waist and jumped into the yard.
"Sir, hurry up!"
Mrs. Tao had no choice but to grit her teeth and open the secret passage in the inner room, and pushed Mr. Wu and the chief of guard in.
"Madam!" Fleur and a guard ran in from outside. "
"Madam, there are subordinates here, please leave quickly!" the guard said hurriedly.
Mrs. Tao grabbed Furong and said, "Fu Rong, the only thing I can do for you is to save your life. I can't give you anything else. Jia He, take Furong away!"
Then Furong's vision went dark and she didn't know anything anymore.
When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. She was in a small forest outside the city, and her guard Jia He was nowhere to be seen.
She only knew that last night, many men in black entered the mansion and killed them on sight, causing chaos in the mansion.
She didn't dare go into the city to find out the news.
After hiding for two days, in order to enter the city, she scratched her face and combed her hair before entering the capital.
This inquiry made Furong's heart freeze.
Overnight, the Hou Mansion became a ruin.
Madam, the Crown Princess, Su's family and grandchildren were all gone. The Crown Princess died in a fight with the men in black. Madam set fire to the Furou Courtyard and the Marquis's study.
A few days later, news came again that the escaped Su family counselor, the chief of guard, and the Su family's youngest son Su Liansheng were also intercepted and killed by men in black.
The entire Su family was wiped out!
Only then did Furong realize that King Xian had lied to her, and she wanted to ask Qinglan to find out why King Xian wanted to hurt Mr. Hou.
He clearly promised her not to harm the Marquis, and he would ask the Queen Mother for instructions and point him out to the Marquis, and then he would help him!
Why did he kill the Marquis and destroy the whole family of the Marquis?
But then she thought about it, if she went, she would be silenced by the wise king. Since the madam let her escape, how could she lose her life in vain?
So, Furong went to the pawn shop, pawned the only two pieces of jewelry she had on her body, and left the capital in confusion with more than ten taels of silver.
She didn't dare to go back to Huzhou, fearing that Prince Xian would come to her door.
When taking inventory of Furong Yuan, among the maids and women who were burned beyond recognition, Qinglan found a woman with a burned face and identified it as Furong from the half-ruined clothes.
Prince Xian was not at ease and sent people to Huzhou to keep an eye on him for more than half a year. After everything was normal in the Furong family, he withdrew the people.
Only then did the wise king believe that Furong had also died.
