The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

After Hua's father brought back the marriage certificate, Qingran was betrothed to Fei Yuanying, and the wedding date was set for three months later.

When Du Heng came back from escorting the goods, he found out that Qingran was going to marry Fei Yuanying soon.

He was unwilling to give up and wanted to snatch the bride away, but was stopped by his father.

Du's father tried to persuade them earnestly that the Du family could not afford to offend the Fei family, as the Fei family was powerful and influential, and Hua Qingran was better off in the Fei family than in the declining Du family.

Du Heng cried bitterly for his own incompetence, but he also knew that his father was right.

He worked hard for more than two months and only earned fifty taels of silver, which was not even enough to pay for Fei Yuanying's meal.

Later, this incident became Du Heng's greatest pain in his life.

Just when Hua Qingran was in pain and confusion, the second master of the Fei family suddenly passed away in Luocheng.

Mr. Fei Erye had only two daughters and no sons. As his nephew, Fei Yuanying had to go to Luocheng to carry the coffin back to his hometown.

The second master of the Fei family is gone, and the Fei family has suffered a great loss.

Fei Yuanying knew Hua Qingran's father and was worried that if he went to Luocheng, the Hua family would break the contract and promise Hua Qingran to someone else.

So he asked to take Hua Qingran to Luocheng.

Although Dayu does not have strict separation between men and women and it is normal for unmarried couples to meet each other, it is naturally not allowed for them to go out of town together.

Fei Yuanying actually kidnapped Qingran when she went to the temple to fulfill her vow.

Fei Yuanying was a very high-profile person. Even when he went to handle a funeral, he always rode in the most luxurious carriage.

On the way to Luocheng, they encountered the bandits from Pulu Mountain.

Fei Yuanying, the groom and the guards were all killed, and Qingran was taken abducted to the mountains.

Liang Daying was not dead at that time. Qingran's beauty made Liang Daying's heart beat fast. No one except him was allowed to touch Qingran.

It was also during that period that Qingran learned a lot of secrets, and these secrets were also the reason why Qingran had to go to Jiyang.

Later, after Liang Daying died, Lin Sanqi took possession of Qingran.

But Qingran attempted suicide several times, which angered Lin Sanqi, so she was sent to the cave.

She stayed in that cave for two years. If it weren't for Lan Niang's careful comfort and care, she would have died long ago.

Later, they met Lu Yanyan and others and were finally rescued.

After Zhenzhen's family took Zhenzhen back home, Qingran also wanted to go home and visit.

She knew that her father would not tolerate her, but she wanted to meet her stepmother Liu and her sister Hua Qingrou.

However, when she returned to the Hua family, she realized that she was already dead.

Her father knew very well that the bandits in Mount Pulu would not kill a young and beautiful woman like her, but would only take her back and torture her.

But he never thought about saving his daughter. For a woman who had lost her virginity, even living was a sin.

Hua's father told everyone that his eldest daughter had unfortunately passed away. Except for his stepmother, sister and Du Heng who were extremely sad, everyone else could only sigh for the beauty's tragic fate.

When the servants in Huafu saw Qingran coming back, they thought they saw a ghost.

Soon, Qingran was locked up in the family temple and the servants were silenced.

No one knew that the former most beautiful lady in Lin'an, after being raped, actually returned to the Hua family alive.

During the first few months at the ancestral temple, Qingran's life was extremely miserable, with cold water, stale rice and endless work to do.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was that her father sent someone to persuade her to commit suicide.

Father Hua did not want to be stained with the blood of his own daughter, but he could not bear to have a daughter covered in filth.

Every time Qingran felt so miserable that she wanted to end her life immediately, she would always think of Lu Yanyan's words and Yanhua's words before she died that she regretted committing suicide.

She just kept holding on, even though life was hard, it was better than dying with no hope at all.

It wasn't until last November that her younger sister Hua Qingrou accidentally heard the servants mention her.

Hua Qingrou and Liu interrogated the servants and found out that Qingran had been imprisoned in the family temple.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the ancestral temple, Qingran was already ill and nearly dying.

Liu had a big fight with her husband and found a doctor for Qingran, but Hua's father refused to let Qingran out no matter what.

After that, with the care of Liu and Qingrou, Qingran's life in the ancestral temple became much better.

Life in the ancestral temple was dull and lonely, so Qingrou told Qingran about what was happening outside.

When talking about the second son of Prince Lin competing in the capital, Qingrou even listed the names of the ten Jinshi candidates as if they were familiar with them.

Hearing the three words "Han Qingyun", Qingran was shocked and asked Qingrou to inquire again.

Hearing that Madam Han and Madam Lu opened a shop in the capital and that Young Master Han had won the third place in the imperial examination, Qingran was happy for them.

But when he heard that they were going to be taken to Ji Yang, Qing Ran became worried about them again.

Qingrou once tried to let Qingran leave, but was caught red-handed and beaten by Hua's father.

Qingrou knew that she and her mother could not save her sister, so she went to find Du Heng.

Du Heng was overjoyed when he heard that Qingran was still alive.

Hua Qingrou was worried that Du Heng would look down on his sister after knowing Qingran's experience, so she hinted at it.

But Du Heng had been running a escort mission for many years and was very familiar with the bandits in Pulu Mountain. He knew very well what a woman might encounter in the mountains.

That was the wife he had chosen since childhood. Qingran's experience only made him feel distressed and guilty. How could he look down on her?

Du Heng disguised himself as Qingrou's bodyguard and met Qingran.

With just one glance, Qingran knew that Du Heng's feelings for her had not changed. Even though she had been bullied by many people, she was still Hua Qingran, the living Hua Qingran, and that was enough.

Afterwards, Liu, Qingrou and Du Heng planned to let Qingran escape from the ancestral temple.

However, they have not yet decided where to go after leaving Lin'an Prefecture.

It was at this time that the "Ten Crimes Questioned to Emperor Zhaowen", the "Jiyang Declaration of Independence" and Jiyang's new policies were passed on to Lin'an Prefecture.

Hua Qingrou told her sister that the person who wrote these was Han Qingyun.

Qingran decided to come to Jiyang.

Although Hua Qingrou was worried about the war in Jiyang, she was more worried that Qingran would be abused again in the ancestral temple.

Because Liu often quarreled with Hua's father, she had less and less say in the Hua family.

Hua Qingrou is going to get married soon. Who will be able to protect her sister then?

She could only harden her heart and send her sister away from the ancestral temple.

Hua Qingrou's fiancé's family is noble and he treats her well. Even if Hua's father is angry, he dare not take it out on Hua Qingrou.

Qingran finally escaped from the place where she had been imprisoned for a year and a half, came to Jiyang, and met Lan Niang and Qin Yuru.

After Qingran finished speaking, he smiled as if he had escaped death.

Qin Yuru clapped her hands distressedly: "It will be better in the future."

Qing Ran nodded...

On Beirong Hu City Street, Li Jixin, who was being hunted everywhere in Dayu, was leaning on a chair, discussing the next arrangements with a group of people.

Except for Lu Yanyan and his group who are still in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, most of his helpers in Beirong are here.

Except for the three people Li Jixin brought last year, the others were arranged by King Lin before.

In the past few years, Prince Lin has successively sent 26 people here, and four of them have sacrificed, including three who retired after achieving success in Qi Ye's internal affairs, three who stayed in Jiaozhou to help, and five people who are temporarily unable to appear here. The remaining eleven people have all come.

More than half of these people had never even seen Li Jixin. When they saw the face that looked 30% similar to Prince Lin, many of them couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Li Jixin also felt very bitter in his heart. These people sacrificed their youth and freedom for Dayu and were walking on the edge of a knife all the time.

"My dear uncles, I, Li Jixin, will not express my gratitude. Thank you all for your hard work over the years. After this is accomplished, I will take you all home!"

The air was filled with the sound of silent sobbing.

But soon, these people came back to their senses from their grief.

"Second Young Master, we heard that the prince was poisoned by Li Zhaocai's grandson... that bastard... ahem, by Li Zhaocai. Is the prince okay?"

The man spoke in an anxious tone and wanted to scold Emperor Zhaowen, but no matter how he scolded, it seemed that Prince Lin and his two sons would be scolded as well. He could only cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.
