Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

This is still the most crazy thing. The most crazy thing is that after Hu Ziyan left, a new leader who valued money more than anything else, Qian Lai, who was known as Qian Chuanzi, took his place.

Chu Ci, a generous, noble, and generous woman who was willing to help others make money, was treated as a distinguished guest by him, and he treated her with great respect, as if he were Chu Ci's errand boy.

Chu Ci naturally returned the favor and immediately paid money to buy two sheep. Although cooking was not her strong point, she had collected thousands of recipes.

So, mutton skewers, grilled lamb chops, stewed lamb, braised lamb, mutton soup, and mutton offal soup were served one after another. After a few days, not only did everyone not lose weight, they actually gained some weight.

If they could receive such treatment every time they escorted prisoners, they would be willing to stay on the road of exile all year round.

What a pity!

After another bowl of mutton soup, Erzi couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Huzi, he is so unlucky. Otherwise, he could have tasted the food of these noble gentlemen."

Old Liu at the side said: Erzi is still too young. "No matter how good the food is, life is more important..."

At this time, something unexpected happened. The fourth child, Fan Zengzhi, and the fifth child, Fan Chongrong, had unbearable abdominal pain, vomited, and finally fainted. The little Fan Qianxue was frightened and cried out.

"Ah, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, what's wrong with you? Dad, Dad...Grandpa, Big Brother, someone come quickly..."

During these days of leisure, everyone had more or less let down their guard, but they didn't expect something to happen at this moment.

Chu Ci didn't have time to think, he dropped the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and rushed over. "Xing'er, sweep..."

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Lao Liu arrived. "Did they accidentally ingest tung oil? Hurry up and bring the wine that you just heated up and give it to them."

At this time, the importance of tacit understanding was reflected. As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, Erzi came over with wine. Without waiting for Lao Liu's instructions, he cooperated with him to pour the wine into the two of them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the two woke up slowly. Chu Ci thought that the storm was over.

Who would have thought that when she saw that her husband was fine, Liu rushed towards Fan Qianyan like crazy, slapped Fan Qianyan hard a few times, and then asked loudly: "Is it you? Is it you, you dead girl? Speak up! Speak up!"

Fan Qianyan was treated like this, but she was like a piece of wood, not crying, making a fuss, or making excuses, as if she had acquiesced. Looking at the people in the Fan family, they had all turned their heads silently, as if they also agreed with Liu's questioning.

"What on earth did a twelve-year-old girl do to make everyone in the Fan family act like this?" Chu Ci frowned, feeling confused.

"Sister-in-law, can you help her?" Fan Qianxue didn't dare to step forward, nor could she convince her parents, so she had to quietly come to Chu Ci and plead in a low voice.

"Do you know why Fourth Aunt is sure that she was the one who poisoned him?" Although Chu Ci sympathized with Fan Qianyan's situation, he did not want to intervene rashly.

"I don't know, it's just another frame-up by my fourth aunt." Fan Qianxue said with great certainty.

Chu Ci frowned even deeper, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Fan Qianxue nodded, "Yes, I was only five years old at the time. I saw with my own eyes that Fourth Aunt scratched her face with the gold hairpin, and then pressed the hairpin into Qianyan's hand. But it was Qianyan who was rude, snatched her hairpin, and scratched her face."

"I told my father, mother, grandfather and grandmother what I was going to see, but no one believed me." Speaking of this, the little girl felt very aggrieved.

Five years old? A five-year-old kid who can't even express himself well? Chu Ci didn't care what was going on. He pulled Fan Qianyan behind him and shouted, "Stop!"

Although Liu stopped as she was told, she was still frantic. "You want to protect her? Do you know that I saw this girl drug her own father with my own eyes?"

Giving drugs to one's own father is a scandal for the Fan family. Qian Chuanzi, Lao Liu, Erzi, and the officials present all found excuses to stay away. "Well, I haven't finished my mutton soup yet!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my wine. It won't taste the same if it gets cold."

"It's not that good, leave it to me. I don't mind." Emma, ​​can you say that you really deserve to be called a money-grubber? If you never forget to make money for yourself, you are also a talent.

Chu Ci was almost led astray, but fortunately Fan Qianxue pulled her back in time and prevented her from making a fool of herself.

"Really? Then why didn't you stop it?" Chu Ci asked back.

"I...at first I just thought...I thought it was your anti-heat medicine. It's my fault. If I had been more careful, Licun and my uncle wouldn't have suffered this disaster." Liu's face was full of tears and she spoke intermittently.

But everyone present could understand what she meant.

Fourth uncle Fan Zengzhi looked even more distressed: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be that rebellious girl. Besides, a thief can only steal for a thousand days, but how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

He is acting in a romantic drama and yet he calls his daughter a thief. Doesn't this fourth uncle have some serious illness?

Chu Ci sneered, "You think you were on guard? After all this talk, where's the evidence? If I remember correctly, I only gave the ointment containing tung oil to the old lady, mother, and a few aunts, right? Fan Qianyan wanted to poison you, didn't you notice it at all?"

After that, he pulled Fan Qianxue in front of everyone and said, "Qianxue, tell me what you just told me. Tell your parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts again."

Others might forget, but Liu would not. She said anxiously, "Chu, Qianxue is still a child, what can she understand?"

"So, this is the reason why Fourth Aunt framed a child as a matter of course?" After saying that, Chu Ci blinked at Fan Qianxue, signaling that she could start.

With Chu Ci's support, Fan Qianxue became bolder. She eloquently recounted what happened before in front of everyone.

After she finished speaking, she stared at Fan Zengzhi in confusion and asked, "Fourth Uncle, other people's misunderstandings may be because they don't spend much time together. But, as Qianyan's biological father, why do you also act like this?"

Fan Qianxue's doubts were also Chu Ci's doubts. Chu Ci suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.

This fourth uncle, is he a love-brained person? He clearly knew that his wife had ulterior motives, but he still insisted on going his own way and gambled the entire Fan family. Thinking of this, Chu Ci suddenly felt unwell.

And Fan Qianyan, being ignored and abused? Is she still mentally normal? Thinking of this, Chu Ci was shocked. He turned around and stared into Fan Qianyan's eyes, and asked softly: "Qianyan, are you willing to believe me?"

Fan Qianyan tried hard to blink her eyes and force back the tears. She raised her head and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister-in-law, do you really believe me?"

Chu Ci smiled slightly, squatted down, and looked at Fan Qianyan at eye level. She gently stroked Fan Qianyan's hair and asked encouragingly: "Then are you willing to tell the truth?"
