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

Chu Ci's heart was getting more and more grief-stricken, but she was also getting calmer. After she calmed down, she stared at Fan Jingrui and slowly said, "Fan Jingrui, you promised me at the beginning, when will you give me the divorce letter?"

Fan Jingrui was puzzled. It was just an ordinary case of infant drowning, but Chu Ci wanted to divorce him because of it.

Fan Jingrui was really excited at this moment, "I don't agree. Chu Ci, we have been getting along well these days, and you have been trying hard to persuade grandpa and grandma..."

However, the more he talked, the more uncertain he felt. It was all Chu Ci's sacrifice for the Fan family. Even though they didn't take it for granted, they never gave Chu Ci anything in return.

But Chu Ci was alone. After leaving the Chu family, a woman living alone outside would be easily targeted by people with bad intentions. No, he would never allow this to happen.

"My lady, I don't know what you saw when you went out today, but any change cannot be achieved by one person alone." Fan Jingrui tried to persuade her in a calm tone.

Change? Fan Jingrui knew what he was thinking? Chu Ci's eyes couldn't help but sparkle again. "Why do you want me to stay?"

"I really hope you stay." Fan Jingrui did not lie to Chu Ci and revealed his true thoughts: "To tell you the truth, I have made plans for every year for the past 18 years, until the night of my wedding, when you told me that the Fan family was about to be exiled. My first reaction at that time was to suspect that you were sent by the emperor."

"Sent by the Emperor? Why?" Chu Ci indeed did not know that Fan Jingrui had ever had such an idea.

"It's because the Fan family will be exiled, which is what grandpa wanted. For the prince, grandpa is willing to sacrifice the entire Fan family." At this time, Chu Ci realized that Fan Jingrui also harbored resentment towards Old Man Fan.

At the same time, I also understood why the Fan family in the original novel ended up being broken up.

In order to protect the prince, he took the blame on himself. In the eyes of the furious emperor, this was the tutor standing on the prince's side too early, wishing the emperor would die soon.

The same goes for the eldest prince and the second prince. Ministers who cannot be won over will naturally be eliminated.

As for the troublemaker Ming Guifei, who had instigated all this, she was probably more than happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. She even cursed them in her heart as fools!

"Do the prince and queen know about this?" Chu Ci was attracted by the affairs of the Fan family and couldn't help asking.

Chu Ci himself might not have noticed this, but Fan Jingrui noticed this subtle change. He pretended to be in pain and replied, "Even if I knew, what would it matter? At that time, the Fan family was already under the surveillance of many forces."

Little did he know that it was this sentence that made Chu Ci sober up. "So, you followed suit. Fan Jingrui, in your eyes, I am stupid, right?"

"No, that's not the case. It was An Qi who told me that every time you made a meeting, no one else was there except you." Fan Jingrui explained while apologizing to An Qi in his heart.

"You act too arbitrarily. Qianxue and Qianyan are completely your little fans and obey you blindly. I can only give them some reminders in secret." Fan Jingrui put on a pitiful look, as if to say that he was also helpless.

As expected, people living in the peaceful and harmonious environment of modern society are just like little white rabbits. If they are not careful, they may be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

Since arriving in Yazhou, the Fifth Prince has always been isolated from the crowd. Chu Ci would become suspicious whenever he comforted him. Chu Ci did not believe that the Fifth Prince really had no grudge against Fan Jingrui.

So, she deliberately asked tentatively, "What about the fifth prince? Did you also deliberately arrange this?"

Unfortunately, her test was too obvious, and Fan Jingrui noticed it immediately, "Madam, you are testing me. You don't trust me. Madam, I am very sad."

If she still couldn't tell that Fan Jingrui did it on purpose, then she was a pig. Chu Ci snorted coldly, "Will he die?"

"No." Fan Jingrui knew that his trick had been discovered, but he still looked pitiful. "My dear, I love you. Please don't abandon me, okay?"

What was going on? Chu Ci got goose bumps all over his body. He subconsciously touched Fan Jingrui's forehead. "He doesn't have a fever!"

Fan Jingrui was not angry, he took Chu Ci's hand and placed it on his heart. "My lady, can you feel it? It beats because of you."

Chu Ci: "Those who don't dance are dead."

In an instant, the romantic atmosphere that Fan Jingrui had painstakingly created was shattered.

Fan Jingrui finally returned to normal: "My lady, I really want to share the good and bad times with you, and accompany you through thick and thin."

It must be said that Fan Jingrui had a good timing. Chu Ci was moved: "You know my character. Even if one day I cause a disaster, you won't regret it?"

Fan Jingrui nodded heavily. He knew that if he hesitated at this moment, he would have no chance. "I will never regret it."

"Okay, I agree. We can give it a try." Since Fan Jingrui has done this, Chu Ci is willing to give each other a chance.

“Madam, I will go and ask grandpa, dad, and four uncles now…” When Fan Jingrui heard Chu Ci’s agreement, he stood up excitedly and thought about it.

Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly pulled back the overly excited Fan Jingrui and said, "Stop, stop, stop. There's no need to trouble Grandpa and the others."

Fan Jingrui stopped as he was told, but stared at Chu Ci and demanded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But you have to give me a deadline."

"Three months, three months later. If it's suitable, we will become real husband and wife. If it's not suitable, you must let me go." Chu Ci replied almost subconsciously.

Fan Jingrui raised his lips slightly, "It's a deal."

After making sure Chu Ci would not leave, Fan Jingrui asked cautiously: "My wife, we are now considered husband and wife. Now can I ask, what do you plan to do for those poor babies?"

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, "I was impulsive before. The fate of one baby can be changed, but there are thousands and millions of them. I can't do anything for the time being."

Seeing that Fan Jingrui didn't believe her, Chu Ci continued to explain: "Besides, what you said makes sense. This shouldn't be the responsibility of a weak woman like me. As for me, I can just study the food I like and make some beautiful clothes in my spare time. Isn't that good too?"

Chu Ci's change was too sudden, and Fan Jingrui was a little uncomfortable with it for a while. Until he heard a knock on the door outside: "Cousin, are you in there?"

"Fifth Prince? Why did he come here at this time?" Chu Ci asked in a low voice.

Fan Jingrui obviously understood what Chu Ci meant and shook his head: "My wife, the steamed cake will get cold if you don't eat it now. You eat it first. I'll be back soon."

The Fifth Prince outside was unaware of the little tricks between Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui. Seeing Fan Jingrui coming out, he asked directly, "Cousin, I heard that my cousin's wife had a baby drowned in Jingtian Village?"

Fan Jingrui didn't want Chu Ci to be sad again, so he said, "Let's go to Grandpa's room and talk."
