Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile
Chapter 18 Something is fishy
"Worried-about-you." For some reason, although they were just three simple words and Fan Jingrui had no other thoughts, he just felt his face burning.
In order to get rid of this strange feeling as soon as possible, Fan Jingrui said almost without pause: "I think your biological mother and brothers are not complicated. But Chu Ling'er, although she concealed it very well, the calculation in her eyes can't deceive anyone."
Now it was Chu Ci's turn to be confused, "You can see that? Do other people know?"
You know, if there was no such thing as a substitute marriage, Chu Ling'er should have been Fan Jingrui's wife. Chu Ci now really wanted to know how the elders of the Fan family felt.
Fan Jingrui was helpless. His wife seemed to particularly enjoy seeing him make a fool of himself. "Can you hide the smile on your face before asking?"
I don’t know if this problem is contagious, even my grandparents often make fun of him.
Of course, all this is when Chu Ci is not around. If Chu Ci is here, then I'm sorry, everyone will become extremely cold. There is no way, the shadow left by Chu Ci whipping his fourth uncle is too big!
So, Fan Jingrui, Chu Ci's husband, was naturally pushed out.
How could Chu Ci not know? This is what makes it interesting. In her previous life, because of the existence of space, she had no worries about food and clothing, and no shortage of money. But she was always wary of people.
After her family members passed away, she didn't even have a close friend.
I have never felt this kind of attitude from the Fan family. They clearly don’t have much affection for me, but they still give me a lot of tolerance and warmth just because I am willing to stay.
Chu Ci's heart was actually very warm: "I can't help it, I'm really too happy. To celebrate, how about having grilled fish tomorrow?"
"Aren't you afraid that the two families will get angry?" Chu Jingrui was also convinced. "You should understand that it is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality. If the temptation is enough, fear will not be a big deal."
"I know that, but why should I put myself in a difficult position just because of the injustice in their hearts?" Chu Ci retorted with confidence.
Fan Jingrui frowned slightly and suddenly changed the topic to Chu Ci's unusual behavior in the afternoon: "Why did you suddenly drive away in the carriage in the afternoon? According to your personality, shouldn't you do whatever makes people uncomfortable?"
"Ah, how did you see that?" Chu Ci didn't expect to be seen through so easily. She thought she was pretending well! She had done this countless times in her previous life and had never been exposed.
She selectively forgot that in her previous life she had never spent more than a week with anyone, and most of the time they were online, so it would be strange if she could be seen through!
Fan Jingrui sighed. Chu Ci had a special status and acted without scruples. But sometimes he was as innocent as a child. "Can you tell me the reason? Maybe I can give you some suggestions."
Chu Ci stared at Fan Jingrui for a long time. It seemed like a waste to leave the intellectual ceiling in the book unused.
Chu Ci thought about it, and then told her everything that happened in the afternoon: "Chu Ling'er seemed to be absorbing my luck. The moment the pheasant rushed towards Chu Ling'er in the afternoon, I felt a pain in my chest for no reason. It was not until I was fifty meters away from her that the situation improved."
"Are you still in pain now? Are there any other abnormalities? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?" After hearing Chu Ci's answer, Fan Jingrui was really anxious.
"Do you believe me?" Now it was Chu Ci's turn to be surprised.
Fan Jingrui looked at Chu Ci's reaction and finally couldn't help but chuckle: "You! Do you have any misunderstandings about your status in everyone's hearts? You saved the Fan family and are the true savior of the entire Fan family."
"But, what about my attitude? And how I treated Fourth Uncle before?" Chu Ci felt a little embarrassed when he was seen through by Fan Jingrui. His face flushed and he seemed a little unconfident.
Fan Jingrui shook his head slightly, "Have you never had a normal relationship with anyone before?"
"How do you know?" Chu Ci was really shocked. The previously broken filter was intact again. She looked at Fan Jingrui with shining eyes. "If I say that the disaster of the Fan family is not over. And with the arrival of Chu Ling'er, it may be even worse? Do you believe it?"
"Tell me more about it?" Fan Jingrui was well-read and had witnessed strange things when he traveled around the world when he was young. Therefore, despite Chu Ci's hesitation, he chose to verify it at the first opportunity.
Chu Ci was slightly stunned, she was just a little excited. If she really wanted to talk about it now, she really didn't know where to start. She couldn't say that the world they lived in was a book, and they were all paper people in the book, and the endings were all designed by someone.
Who can withstand such a blow?
Chu Ci hesitated for a long time before saying, "I can't explain it clearly. It's just a hunch. When I was in the capital before, I was suppressed by Chu Ling'er for no reason. Later, Chu Ling'er arranged a replacement marriage, which helped me. After that, you also saw it."
"But I never thought that the Chu family would also be exiled, and the two teams were forcibly merged into one." Chu Ci felt unlucky when he mentioned this. Would Chu Ling'er be useless without her as a cannon fodder control group?
"Control group? Maybe?" Chu Ci suddenly had an idea and asked Fan Jingrui, "You are well-read. Is there a possibility that Chu Ling'er and I have been planted with some kind of contract. It allows her to absorb my luck, spiritual energy, and even my vitality."
I don't know why, but whenever I think about how Chu Ci had lived a miserable life because of someone's selfishness, I feel uncomfortable. "If this technique really exists, it must be an evil technique, and the price to pay must be high. So what is the purpose of the person behind it?"
"I don't know." Chu Ci's answer was very simple.
After hearing the answer, Fan Jingrui was speechless. He still did not give up and asked: "Since they knew that Chu Ling'er was a fake daughter, and took you back as the real daughter, the Chu family did not investigate. Why would such a blunder happen in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"It seems not." Chu Ci still shook his head.
The original owner does not have this part of the memory. The focus of the original work is always on how Chu Ling'er, as a fake daughter, was favored in the Chu family, how she fell in love with the second prince at first sight, and how they overcame numerous obstacles and finally got together.
As for the original body, he was just a tool used to highlight Chu Linger's luck.
The same is true for the Fan family. If it were not for highlighting Fan Jingrui's tragic situation and the great difficulties it brought him, the author would not have described the fate of the Fan family in such detail.
Well, Fan Jingrui finally understood Chu Ci.
Even though Fan Jingrui thought he was very well-mannered, he was still very angry about what the Chu family did. "What about your adoptive parents before you returned to the Chu family?"
"No, I have never seen her. I grew up with my master. My master once said that she found me at the bottom of the cliff behind Lianxi Temple in the suburbs of Beijing and picked me up." Chu Ci tried hard to recall the memories of his original body. The more he spoke, the more he felt that there was something strange.
