After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 523 Fire

"Click!"

The cell door opened, and two men brought in the food box and put it down respectfully.

"Sir, this was sent from our Lord Lin's residence. The cook made it according to your taste. When you are done, call us and we will clean it up."

A jailer smiled apologetically.

Qingyao looked at him coldly without saying a word.

The two jailers were used to it and retreated cautiously.

Qingyao only touched the lunch box after the others had gone far away.

Lin was a good planner. He locked him up while providing him with good food and drink.

Ah.

The first layer of the food box contained a plate of steamed fish and a dish of stir-fried vegetables. The second layer contained mutton soup, and the third layer contained a plate of steamed buns.

Qingyao picked up a steamed bun and took a bite when he realized something was wrong.

He used force to break the steamed bun open, and a small piece of paper fell out.

He frowned, looked at the cell door first to make sure no one noticed here, quickly picked up the note, and opened it in his palm.

After reading the words on the note, Qingyao's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Idiot! Su Qingya, this stupid woman! She's more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

There was a surge of anger in his eyes, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

After thinking for a while, he put the note in the candle flame and burned it.

That night, a fire broke out in the prison in the city.

Prince Ning was hit by a collapsed beam and his arm was broken.

Lord Lin was overwhelmed and finally managed to rescue the person.

As a result, Qingyao's guards came to his house, bringing the jade pendant awarded by the late emperor, and questioned him for his poor performance and harsh treatment of their young master.

Take the prince away!

Lord Lin was at fault first, and Qingyao hadn't clearly convicted him, so he couldn't suppress the person.

Finally, Lu Zhihuai came forward and suggested that Prince Ning could return to the villa to recuperate, but he could not move around freely.

Everything will be discussed after they return to the capital with the prince and the matter has a conclusion.

During this period, Lord Lin could send someone to "protect" Prince Ning.

Lord Lin agreed.

Qingyao was sent back to the villa, and the servants went to call a doctor.

Su Qingya came over in a hurry, and burst into tears as soon as she saw the person.

"Brother Qingyao, how are you? It's all my fault for being useless and unable to rescue you."

She looked at Qingyao's broken arm and felt heartbroken.

But the look in Qingyao's eyes when he looked at her was devoid of affection.

Su Qingya noticed something was wrong and looked up: "Brother Qingyao, why aren't you talking? Are you blaming me..."

Qingyao looked at the woman's hypocritical behavior and wanted to strangle her to death, she was a piece of trash.

But he closed his eyes and realized that this woman was still useful.

"You went to ask the prince for help? What did you give him?"

"They are just some farming methods, not very useful. Brother Qingyao, I have researched gunpowder." Su Qingya wanted to take credit for it.

Ever since she was forced to kneel as punishment, she was too embarrassed to go out. While recovering from her injuries, she wanted to make up for it, so she stepped up her research on explosives.

She was lucky and after seven or eight attempts, she finally succeeded.

It was just a little less powerful, only blasting a hole in the big rock.

But it doesn’t matter. If you make a few improvements to this recipe, it will be completely usable.

"Really?" Qingyao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he pinched her chin.

"Well, Brother Qingyao, you hurt me." Su Qingya frowned and said in pain and coquettishly.

Qingyao then relaxed his grip a little: "Sorry, I was too excited."

"Qingya, you are really my lucky star."

He pulled the woman into his arms, his tone gentle.

Su Qingya blushed, Prince Ning was indeed her man, considerate and gentle.

"Brother Qingyao, you're the only one who would say that. I've been greatly wronged these past few days since you were away."

Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was low: "What's wrong? Who dares to bully my woman?"

This domineering oath made Su Qingya feel even more benefited.

She lay on the man's chest as delicate and boneless as a skeleton.

"It's still Fang Nanzhi."

"In order to save you, I tried to get close to the prince, but my archery skills were not very good and I almost shot Fang Nanzhi. The prince then punished me by making me kneel for three days."

Su Qingya cried out in grievance.

"Let me see."

Qingyao seemed distressed, his voice hoarse.

Su Qingya half-heartedly agreed and let him pull up his trouser leg, revealing his bruised knee.

In fact, she knelt for three days and three nights, and her knees were bleeding. Fortunately, she used the secret medicine in the palace and recovered a little.

If it were someone else, these legs would be crippled if not disabled.

Qingyao felt disgusted. Shouldn't a woman's legs be as smooth and delicate as white jade?

But the movements are gentle.

"It's my fault. He's the crown prince, so his status is naturally higher. I..."

His voice was filled with self-abandonment.

Su Qingya felt distressed and hugged him tightly.

"I know. Brother Qingyao has great ambitions. Those who achieve great things must be able to tolerate temporary anger."

"I'm not asking you to avenge me, as long as Brother Qingyao can remember the injuries I suffered for you, that's enough."

Su Qingya's face was shy, and her eyes were full of hook-like charm.

Qingyao was disdainful in his heart. Women were really easy to deceive and always pursued love.

A look of emotion appeared on his handsome face.

The two of them snuggled together, and the atmosphere was just right.

There was a commotion at the door.

"Let me in. I'm the prince's father-in-law. Who of you dares to stop me?"

"Don't you have eyes? I'm the prince's grandfather!"

The guards at the gate remained unmoved and even drew their knives, as if they would kill you if you took another step forward.

Fang Jin's face turned pale. He didn't dare to act bossy anymore and just shouted towards the room.

"I, Fang Jin, beg to see the Crown Prince!"

Su Qingya's face was extremely ugly. These shameful people from the Fang family actually dared to disturb the prince.

She restrained her expression and gave the prince a fragile smile.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qingyao, I'll go get rid of them right away."

Qingyao's eyes flashed with coldness, and he touched her little face.

"I know, it's not your fault. You're always too kind and soft-hearted, which is why you gave those villains the opportunity to take advantage of you."

"Today, I will teach you once."

Su Qingya looked up at him, seemingly puzzled.

"Let them in."

Qingyao gave an order and the guards at the door immediately put away their swords.

Fang Jin's face lit up with joy, but he was in no hurry to go in. He straightened his sleeves carefully.

He thought that if he caught the prince's eye, he might be able to get a job without having to take the imperial examination.

He walked into the room with eight steps and saw a cold and slender man lying on the couch, with Su Qingya sitting beside him in disheveled clothes.

In his heart, he scolded Su Qingya for being unrestrained and shameless, but on the surface he saluted with dignity.

"I am Fang Jin, a commoner, and I am bringing my father..."

Before he could finish his words, someone kicked him in the knee and the Fang father and son were forced to kneel on the ground.

Qingyao stared at them with eyes like a poisonous snake.

"Are you Qingya's adoptive father, Grandpa?"

Without waiting for Fang Jin to speak, he continued.

"You're the ones who make Qingya do the hard work of washing clothes and working in the fields every day? You don't even feed her enough, and you always beat and scold her?"

Fang Jin's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, there is a misunderstanding."

Even though Mr. Fang was an old country man who had never seen the world, he was frightened by the scene and started to make excuses.

"Oh, sir, sir, we didn't mean to do that. We didn't know Qingya's identity before, so we did that. Later, we loved her so much. Neither of our two grandsons is as favored as her."
