The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

But if she doesn't speak up for herself and express herself, who will fight for her basic human rights as a human being?

"Then Qianqian, you said you want me to divorce you? Are you sincere?"

Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian seriously, his whole body tense.

Lin Qianqian snorted, but was actually happy to be sent out of the house. She really didn't want to engage in intrigue with the heroine every day.

Seeing that Lin Qianqian didn't say anything, Gu Huai felt relieved. He smiled and said, "I knew you were just saying that in anger."

"Qianqian, you don't know how scared I was when I heard you say that! I was so shocked! Am I being mean to you? You actually wanted to leave the mansion!"

"I can't leave you now!"

Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's arms and hugged her, "Don't say such things again. You are not allowed to go anywhere except by my side."

Lin Qianqian smiled and said, "Of course I said that in anger."

Ziyunxuan is more than twice as large as Xiaoxiangyuan where Lin Qianqian lived before.

Not only was the yard luxuriously decorated, but the house also gradually grew taller and bigger. There were two small gardens alone, and the pine and peach trees planted there had formed a large forest.

Where willow leaves were hung, servants would stay away from them as they passed by, for fear of seeing unclean things or being entangled by them.

The night they moved into Ziyunxuan, Taozhi had a nightmare, and the servant Mother Wu also had a nightmare.

Both of them dreamed of sleep paralysis.

At night, I felt a force pressing on me, as heavy as a rock. I wanted to wake up but didn't dare to, so I just stayed up until dawn.

Seeing that Taozhi didn't look well, Lin Qianqian asked her. She said that she dreamed of willow leaves. Mother Wu also said that she dreamed of them. The two asked Lin Qianqian if she had dreamed of them.

Lin Qianqian shook her head. She wasn’t dreaming, but she couldn’t sleep either. She was somewhat used to her bed.

"Auntie Lin, I heard from the maids before that Liu Ye died with hatred in her heart. She had a lot of resentment, so she was able to affect so many people."

Taozhi's eyes were dark blue. She rubbed her eyeballs sleepily with her fists. "They didn't dare to pass by the place where Liu Ye hanged herself. I didn't dare to go there either. I heard that Liu Ye looked too scary when she died."

Lin Qianqian sighed, "How can it be a hanged ghost? The ghost you are afraid of is the relatives that others miss so much. You must have been influenced by what others said before. This is called psychological suggestion."

Taozhi said uncomfortably, "But we have had dreams about this for three consecutive nights. Maybe it's because the prince is in Aunt Lin's room, and the prince has strong yang energy, so ghosts dare not get close to him."

Lin Qianqian remembered something: "Oh, Liuye, do you know any amulets or Buddhist beads from the temple? I remember that such things can protect you from evil."

Liu Ye nodded, "Indeed, there are people who wear such Buddhist beads. They must have been blessed."

"That's it. How about this? I'll take you to the temple someday to get two strings of Buddhist beads, one for you, one for Mother Wu, and one for Uncle Zeng."

Lin Qianqian believes in exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

She didn't mind the servants in the yard reporting her news to Cheng Jiayao, she just hoped that they would not sell their lives at the critical moment.

Asking for the Buddhist beads was a small matter, so she didn't need to go there in person. But she wanted to get some fresh air and see more of the scenery outside. She felt bored staying in the mansion.

"That's great!" Taozhi said happily, "I will also go to worship the Buddha, hoping that he will bless my family to be safe and sound, and my brother to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible."

Mother Wu said, "Auntie Lin, I want to go too."

"Well, let's go together. Just treat it as a day off and go out and have some fun."

Mother Wu smiled happily, "Thank you, Auntie."

Jinwuwei Prison

Li He curled up in the corner of the cell, his body shaking uncontrollably.

His face was more deformed than before. His back and front were covered with hideous wounds from being whipped. Blood scabs and torn clothes were stuck together. There was hardly a piece of intact skin on his body.

A pair of black brocade boots stepped on the wet thatch and walked in front of him. He looked up and saw Zhang Qi shivering all over.

Li He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Sir! I was wrong! I confess everything! I confess everything! It wasn't my idea!"

"Someone told me to do this!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"

"Sir," Li He swallowed his saliva, looked around, and whispered to Zhang Qi,

"Please come closer."

Zhang Qi walked over and squatted in front of him, then he heard Li He whispering in his ear, "Actually, it was Cheng Yuanxiu, the son of the Cheng family, who told me to do this, sir. They just wanted Lin Qianqian to be ruined and kicked out of the mansion! They gave me a sum of money, it was really too much!"

"How much silver was given to you?"

Li He stretched out five fingers.

"In fact, I have no grudges against Lin Qianqian. I have only heard of her name before and have seen her once or twice from a distance. I am really short of money and owe a large sum of money to the gambling house."

"My Lord, I have already said it, please don't torture me anymore. I really didn't steal Lin Qianqian's handkerchief, let alone steal the golden unicorn! The people in the Marquis' Mansion are framing me!"

Cheng Yuanxiu?

The name sounds familiar.

Zhang Qi thought about it for a moment and suddenly remembered that his sister was Cheng Jiayao, the Crown Prince’s wife?

It turned out to be the case.

Early yesterday morning, Cheng Jiayao sent her maid Eryue back home and asked her to tell her elder brother Li He that he had been arrested. If the Jinwu Guards came to the house, he should refuse to admit that he had anything to do with the matter until his death.

However, those people still came at night and took Cheng Yuanxiu away.

Cheng Jiayao has always been worried about the situation at home, so she asked Eryue to go home from time to time to inquire about it. The moment she learned that her eldest brother was taken away, her heart was hanging in the air.

She asked Eryue to go again to inquire about her eldest brother's situation in prison.

Er Yue wiped her tears and cried hesitantly, "Miss, you don't know how badly the eldest master was beaten! The poor young master was beaten beyond recognition. He has never suffered such a punishment since he was a child."

"Miss, the eldest master said that he asked people to do this to vent his anger for his sister. They beat people up and refused to let them go. They wanted a large sum of money before they would let them go. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid that the eldest master's reputation as an innocent scholar will be completely ruined!"

Cheng Jiayao seemed to collapse and fell heavily to the ground.

Her eyes were red, and she clenched her fists and pounded the ground and cried.

After Lin Qianqian washed her body, she changed into a new set of underwear and sat on the edge of the bed with her waist twisted.

Suddenly she saw something extra on the bed, which was clearly not there before she entered the bathroom.

A piece of paper was pressed under a large, snow-white, translucent pearl.

This pearl looked familiar, like the one Zhang Qi had given her before but she didn't want it.

Lin Qianqian picked up the folded paper and opened it. Her heart skipped a beat after reading the words on it.

"There's no reason to take back something you've given away. Li He has revealed the person who harmed you. If you want to know, meet under the locust tree in South Gate Lane tomorrow afternoon."
