The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Old Madam Xu moved her lips. She originally wanted her second son to divorce Xie and drive away the foolish girl who caused trouble.

In this way, the second daughter-in-law's dowry can be kept as well, after all, Xie still has a younger son who will stay in the Xu family.

I didn't expect the second son to be so determined. He would rather be expelled from the family than stay with that merchant girl. He is really blinded by greed.

If she said that she wanted to keep her daughter-in-law's dowry, it would be unreasonable. She would also be accused of being greedy and it would be detrimental to her eldest son's career.

Forget it, what good outcome can come from being locked up in the Ministry of Justice?

Wait until the regent's verdict comes down, and see if we can make some further efforts to get back the second daughter-in-law's dowry.

……

After a night's sleep and a full meal, Xu Keke was fully revived.

He walked to the iron fence, pulled it and started shouting.

"Let me out, let me out."

Ding Dong...

"Miss, stop yelling. This is a prison. No one will come even if you keep yelling. You'll just tire yourself out. Why bother coming?"

Xu Keke ignored it.

If I sit down and talk, you will say that I talk more than before.

The original owner doesn't like to talk, which causes his vocal cords to not be smooth enough. I have to train my voice first.

At noon, someone came to visit the prison.

The person who came was the original owner’s sister Xuanyunduo.

Xuanyunduo married her childhood sweetheart and cousin Xie Tianhua.

The Xie family was a merchant family that ran various cloth businesses. They not only had many teahouses and restaurants in the city, but were also one of the few ship merchants.

If the Xie family wasn't rich, Mrs. Xu wouldn't have let her second son marry their daughter.

Everyone in the streets and alleys of Shengjing City was talking about the regent being deposed, and Xuanyunduo naturally heard about it.

Last night, her mother sent someone to deliver the news, and Xuanyunduo only then realized that the person who had caused such a big disaster and was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice was actually her own sister.

After hearing the news, the Xie family was worried all night and was already planning what kind of gift to give to the Regent in order to keep their niece.

The nanny beside him secretly slipped a fifty-liang silver note to Prison Warden Wang, who then asked the warden on duty that day to bring them in.

In fact, even if they didn't hand over the banknotes, the prison warden Wang would let them go. Others didn't know, but the prison warden Wang knew that the prince didn't want to do anything to the silly girl.

He was sent here probably because he was still angry about being brought down and humiliated by her.

Didn’t Master Sheng Wu say that he would release the person after a few days of detention?

As Xuanyunduo walked into the prison, he heard his sister's screams and stumbled.

The wet nurse beside her quickly helped her steady herself.

"Miss, you have to be careful, you are pregnant!"

"I'm fine, Mammy, let's hurry up, my sister is calling me!"

Xuanyuduo quickened his pace.

My poor sister is not very smart. She is locked up in a place like this. She must be scared and that’s why she screams.

My sister hasn't said much in all these years, and it seems she's really been pushed into a corner this time.

Xuanyunduo followed the jailer and quickly arrived at Xu Keke's cell.

"Don't be afraid, Coco. Your sister is here to see you."

As he spoke, Xuanyuduo grabbed Xu Keke's hands with both hands.

"elder sister?"

Xu Keke looked at the pregnant woman in front of her and recalled the fragments of the original owner's memory in her mind.

She had seen this woman before. She was the original owner's biological sister and married her uncle's son.

Looking at her bulging belly, Xu Keke couldn't help but wonder, is it really okay to marry close relatives in ancient times?

She was very worried about the health of the baby in the woman's belly.

The jailer considerately opened the cell door, and the wet nurse and the maid stood outside the cell door.

Xuanyunduo walked in and pulled Xu Keke to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Keke, did you just call me sister? Say it again for me."

"elder sister."

Xu Keke called out for the original owner and sighed in her heart. After the original owner fell and injured his head, he didn't like to talk or call for anyone, and would only speak when he needed something.

For example, if you are hungry, you would say "eat."

When you are thirsty, you will say "drink."

When he needs to go to the toilet, he points to the toilet bowl.

This resulted in her loving family members being very excited when they occasionally heard her calling them.

Just like now, Xuanyuduo had tears of excitement in her eyes.

"Keke, don't be afraid! Your uncle and your brother-in-law will go to the Regent today to give him a gift and ask him to forgive your unintentional mistake."

"He won't take it."

Xu Keke answered seriously.

Screw his character. Since the original owner could be hit stupidly by something, why couldn't he just fall from the building and be alright?

It's tiring to act stupid all the time, right?

Xuanyunduo was obviously stunned when she heard her sister speak so clearly, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Keke, tell me why the prince won't accept gifts?"

"Giving gifts would have prevented us from being imprisoned. Yesterday, I wanted to give all the jewelry I was wearing to the man with the knife, but he didn't even look at them."

Xuanyunduo looked at the headdresses on her sister's head.

"How much are these worth? How could His Majesty even care about them?"

Xu Keke was silent.

It seems that the person who is trying to scam me this time is not easy to deal with.

Xuanyunduo was also worried about this matter.

However, she was secretly happy to hear her sister speak so fluently, for she was afraid that if she asked her how she could speak so well, her sister would become withdrawn and refuse to speak.

He just patted Xu Keke's hand gently.

"Sister, what should we do? We can't stay in this prison forever, right? I really want to take a shower and wash my hair."

Xu Keke looked anxious. Was it enough to just eat and drink enough? She was a very clean person and would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a shower for a day.

Xuanyunduo pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth.

"I'll go back and ask my father-in-law to give the family heirloom, the warm jade cabbage, and the three hundred kilograms of gold ship to the Regent. I'll see if he can rescue you, Coco."

Xu Keke...

It was impossible not to be moved. Even if she went out, she would never be able to earn such valuable things in her entire life.

These two things are heirlooms of the Xie family. Xu Keke had seen them in the original owner's memory fragments.

The warm jade cabbage is warm and transparent, and is carved from a whole piece of flawless jade.

Each leaf is stretched naturally, with fine and clear texture, just like the veins on a real leaf.

The whole cabbage looks lifelike, with strong and sturdy stems supporting plump leaves.

It is not only a precious work of art, but also a priceless treasure.

And the three hundred kilograms of golden ship was extremely luxurious.

The entire ship was made of pure gold, gleaming with dazzling brilliance. Its bow rose high, like a giant beast poised to break through the waves.

"Sister, your idea is too wasteful. Keke is not worth it. How about...giving a thousand taels of gold?"

Xu Keke held Xuanyunduo's hand in return and accepted this sister in her heart. Although she was not the original owner, since she had traveled through time, she should accept everything about the original owner.

Only in this way can you live a real life, instead of being a lonely soul wandering around.

The two sisters discussed with their heads together, and Dingdang listened attentively.

Suddenly, there was a "hahaha" laugh from outside.

"It really made me laugh."
