The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.
Chapter 12: Begging for alms in prison
Hey, someone else is coming.
Xu Keke immediately stood up and walked to the iron fence.
In addition to the maids who followed Xuanyunduo, there was also a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with a bun shaped like an ox's nose.
"I say, you, a Taoist priest, have you ended up in prison begging for alms?"
Xu Keke saw him grinning foolishly and asked in a bad mood.
This Taoist priest appeared silently, not only eavesdropping on their conversation, but also laughing non-stop. What the hell are you laughing at!
The incompetent Taoist was choked by her question and forgot to answer for a moment.
Xuanyunduo also walked over and took a look at Taoist Wuneng, and then she remembered that they had brought food for her sister.
Then he instructed the wet nurse, "Mammy, take a portion of the cakes in the food box and give it to this Taoist priest."
"Hey!"
The wet nurse agreed and took out a bag of lotus cake from the food box.
"Master, this is a small token of your appreciation. Please accept it."
The wet nurse handed the lotus cake to the incompetent Taoist priest.
The incompetent Taoist finally came to his senses, took the lotus cake with both hands, and thanked with a smile.
"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you, benefactor."
It turns out that he is here to beg for alms. This is clearly getting something for nothing!
Xu Keke rolled her eyes.
"Master, why were you grinning like that just now? Are you happy just because you see someone in trouble?"
The incompetent Taoist was not annoyed and glanced at the two sisters.
"My two benefactors, this is not a good place. It is inappropriate for you to discuss how to bribe the Regent here."
Xu Keke snorted coldly and muttered.
"You're talking as if we could talk somewhere else. Aren't we being held captive here?"
The incompetent Taoist approached the iron fence mysteriously and spoke in a low voice.
"I know a little bit about fortune-telling. Would you like me to help you with your fortune?"
Xuanyunduo's eyes lit up and he stepped forward eagerly to ask.
"Master, please tell my sister a fortune and give her some pointers."
The incompetent Taoist touched his chin pretending to be an immortal.
"Please also tell me your sister's date of birth."
Ah, even in the prison, we can encounter Taoist priests who cheat people out of their money? They are really ruthless in order to make a living!
Xu Keke quickly stood in front of Duoduo.
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. My fate is in my own hands, so I don't need anyone to calculate it."
Xuanyundu gave her a reproachful look.
"Do you still want to go out early?"
"Of course I do!"
"Since you want to, then give it to me. Why not give it a try?"
Xuanyunduo gently pushed Xu Keke away and whispered her sister's birth date to the Taoist Wuneng.
Xu Keke stepped aside and could only sigh silently.
I prayed in my heart that this broken Taoist priest wouldn't say anything about possessing another's body.
Over there, after hearing the original owner's birth date and eight characters, the incompetent Taoist priest closed his eyes, quickly calculated with his fingers, and muttered to himself.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes with a serious expression.
"It's not good, it's not good! This is a disaster that the girl is destined to face, and it has far-reaching consequences."
Are there so many people involved? Will the whole family be exiled?
The color drained from Xuanyunduo's face in an instant.
"Master, your words are too general. Can you be more specific?"
The incompetent Taoist stroked his beard, closed his eyes, and was in self-doubt.
He couldn't accurately predict the fate of this young donor. If the donor was confused, he could live his whole life in a dream.
If he is conscious, he will die.
Thinking back to when he had predicted the prince's death, and now both of them were alive, could it be that two negatives equaled a positive?
"Taoist priest?"
Many questions interrupted the Taoist Wuneng's thoughts.
The incompetent Taoist opened his eyes, his expression showing no sign of understanding, and he interpreted the hexagram hastily.
"To be specific, if you want to resolve this calamity, you need the help of a noble person."
"Noble? Who is the noble?" Xuanyunduo asked again hurriedly.
The incompetent Taoist shook his head.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You will know it in due time. However, before this noble person appears, the young lady needs to be cautious in her words and actions and avoid any rash actions."
Xu Keke breathed a sigh of relief and hummed twice.
"Master, you said nothing."
However, Xuanyunduo took out a gold ingot from his purse and handed it to the incompetent Taoist.
"Master, thank you for your trouble. Please accept this token of your gratitude."
The incompetent Taoist took the gold and said with a smile:
"Thank you very much, benefactor. I will definitely pray for you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Keke looked at his back.
"Sister, do you trust him so much? He might just be a swindler. Look, he's already got the gold."
Xuanyunduo patted her hand gently.
"Whether it's true or not, it's still a thought. As long as there's a glimmer of hope that it can get you out sooner, it's worth a try."
It seems like he's just desperate and trying anything he can get!
At this time, a jailer came over to urge.
"Visiting hours are over, please leave, family members."
Xuanyundu looked at Xu Keke reluctantly.
"Keke, I'll come to see you next time. I don't know how things are going with our parents, so just be good here and stop yelling in the aisle. It's useless and it will hurt your throat."
Xu Keke nodded and smiled as if she were in the spring breeze.
"I understand, sister, you are pregnant, don't work too hard."
Tears welled up in Xuanyunduo's eyes again, and she gently touched her sister's face.
"Keke, you've become smarter and more obedient. You should talk to us more often in the future."
"Well, don't worry, sister. I can't control my mouth."
Xu Keke nodded heavily.
Xuanyunduo, supported by her wet nurse and maidservant, left the cell, looking back every few steps.
Xu Keke looked at their receding backs and felt very uncomfortable.
My sister did live a good life for a few years after marrying into the Xie family, but later her family was destroyed by Shen Qingfeng, and even her young children were not spared.
Dingdang stayed beside her silently.
After their figures disappeared, Xu Keke slowly lay back on the bed, her eyes becoming a little dull.
She was thinking about the ending of the Xie family in the original owner's memory fragments.
The Xie family has been in business for decades and has many branches, but the main line has been a single-line inheritance for three generations, of course, the single-line inheritance refers to males.
The current head of the Xie family is the original owner’s uncle, Xie Jiye, the brother of the original owner’s mother Xie Yulan.
Xie Jiye was in his prime and had a son and a daughter. His son was Xuanyuedu's husband Xie Tianhua, and his daughter was named Xie Su, who was about the same age as the original owner.
Xie Jiye loves his only sister Xie Yulan very much.
When Xie Yulan married into the Xu family, she was given a luxurious wedding dress and countless gold and silver shops, and she almost took away half of the Xie family's wealth.
After the original owner married Shen Qingfeng, the Xie family quickly fell into decline.
The reason was that Shen Qingfeng, who was in the position of Shangqing, submitted an impeachment memorial: the Xie family merchant ship was transporting contraband and was suspected of treason, and he led people to search for bows and crossbows on the merchant ship.
In the end, the Xie family was completely executed, all their property was confiscated, and all nine clans were exiled to a cold and bitter place.
And Shen Qingfeng also became the prime minister because of this achievement.
This wolf in human skin, when Xu Keke thought of this, she gnashed her teeth in hatred towards Shen Qingfeng.
Perhaps it was God's will that the original owner was foolish all his life, and after death he woke up but was unable to change his fate, leaving her with these memories.
So if it were you, what could you do to change these outcomes?
Xu Keke suddenly thought of the man she had brought down.
That man had never appeared in the original owner's memory, which meant that the original owner had never had any intersection with him.
"Dingdang, tell me about the prince who brought us in. What's going on with him?"
"Miss, do you want to know about the current regent? Dingdang doesn't know much."
"Tell me everything you know."
