Yuan Jia's eyes were wrapped with several layers of thick gauze, but the blood was still gushing out wantonly, and in an instant, those layers of gauze were stained red by blood. Wei Yuanjia only felt that he was being carried by four hands and thrown into a room where he didn't know where.

With the door closed, Yuanjia began to grope for this new environment. This place was filled with a strong smell of incense, and Yuan Jia stood up and tried his best to grope for it. With a snort, her hand touched the bronze tripod, which seemed to have just burned something, and the wall was still hot.

Yuan Jia fell to the ground, and his hands were burned with a lot of bubbles.

She fell to the ground and sobbed, if Xiao Rongshen was still there, he would never let himself be bullied like this by Wei Yuanxi. She didn't dare to move any more, and sat down on the ground with a huddle.

"Eldest sister, is that you?"

Hearing someone call her, Yuan Jia raised her head timidly and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

"Eldest sister, is it really eldest sister?" The man came up to pounce on her, and when he got closer, he smelled the blood on her body: "Eldest sister, I am the fourth sister, why are you here? What's wrong with your eyes?"

Fourth sister? When Yuan Jia heard the words Fourth Sister, she felt an inexplicable burst of ecstasy in her heart, and she almost burst into tears with excitement, but she remembered that she had lost her eyes, where did these tears come from? There was a tearing pain in the bottom of her eyes, and Yuan Jia covered her eyes in pain.

"Eldest sister, are you okay?What's wrong with your eyes?Who hurt you like this?" Yuan Jie nagged in her ear. If it was before, Yuan Jia would have been annoyed a long time ago, but now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it is already very good to have someone willing to talk to her, where is her choice?

"It's Wei Yuanxi, she took revenge on me for personal gain, she took her maid to gouge out my eyes, and brought me to this place. After Yuan Jia finished complaining, she remembered to ask, she fumbled with Yuan Jie's hand and asked, "Fourth sister, why are you here, didn't you escape?"

Yuan Jie sighed and said, "Escape, I want to escape, the prince's people guard the four gates of the capital to death, and everyone who goes out of the city must be carefully checked." I wanted to get out of the city, but who knew they had portraits of each of us, so I was recognized by them. ”

Yuan Jia stretched out his hand and touched Yuan Jie's cheek indiscriminately: "What's the matter, they didn't hurt you, right?"

Yuan Jie held Yuan Jia's hand, shook her head, and said, "No, they just brought me here." ”

The place where they were imprisoned was a dilapidated Taoist temple, and when the war broke out in the capital, all the Taoist priests here ran out, leaving only an empty courtyard. When Yuan Jie was imprisoned, several soldiers dragged the large tripod used for incense in the courtyard and lit firewood in it. Hearing that the master was going to send someone over again, and that they were not allowed to slack off, they moved the big ding they used to bake the fire into the house.

Several soldiers shrank under the eaves to avoid the rain.

The air was very humid, and the smoke in the room was very heavy, so that Yuan Jia's eyes hurt. Yuan Jia pushed Yuan Jie and said, "Fourth sister." You open the doors and windows a little more, and let the air inside, my eyes hurt too much. ”

Yuan Jie was a little frightened and said, "Sister, they won't let you open the door." ”

"Who said that?" Yuan Jia asked, "We can't run again, why aren't we allowed to open the door?"

Yuan Jie still cowered and refused to go, Yuan Jia had no choice but to kick her: "Don't go yet!"

Yuan Jie walked to the door with a twist and ripped open the door panel with both hands. The cold wind and rain poured into the room, Yuan Jie shivered, and several soldiers at the door glanced at them and didn't say anything.

"It's weirdly cold. Yuan Jie muttered.

After sitting like this for a while, Yuan Jie felt her stomach gurgling, she hadn't eaten all night. Outside, the soldiers set up a firewood pile and were roasting sweet potatoes and eating wine. When the sweet potatoes are charred over the fire, the sweet and greasy taste is just right.

Yuan Jie licked her lips and looked at the soldiers who were munching sweet potatoes outside the door.

She slowly crawled over, picked the most honest-looking, and whispered, "Can you give me a piece?" I haven't eaten all night. ”

Although the man was honest and kind, because of the master's speech, he held a sweet potato in his hand, and he didn't give it, and it wasn't okay if he didn't give it.

He was a little embarrassed: "The master said, I will starve you for three days, and whoever gives you a bite to eat will be beaten and served with thirty sticks." Don't embarrass me, who made you offend your master?"

Yuan Jie sat helplessly on the ground. From a distance, I saw a person coming to the door of the Taoist temple, carrying a food box in his hand. This person is Ling'er beside Wei Yuanxi, and she is so familiar with her that even if she turns to ashes, Yuan Jie can recognize it.

Ling'er held the food box, bypassed Yuan Jie, and sent it to Wei Yuanjia. In the food box is a bowl of boiled dumplings pressed with coarse grains, a bowl of fresh fish soup, and two wild vegetable dumplings.

The fish soup is not very cooked, there is a fishy smell on the face, the wild vegetable dumplings smell very astringent, and the boiled dumplings don't smell strange, but it really doesn't have any taste, and even the salt is not put in.

"Miss, this boiled dumpling, fishy fish soup, and wild vegetable dumplings are all meals sent by you when you hurt my young lady in the past, and it was the ancestral hall of the Wei Mansion that imprisoned the young lady at that time, and now it is almost the same here, it is an abandoned Taoist temple. These delicacies were all tasted by my sister and Miss back then, and she specially ordered them to be sent to the eldest lady, and if the eldest lady liked to eat them, the slave maid would give them to the eldest lady at night. ”

Ling'er stood up and walked in front of Yuan Jie with a sneer: "Fourth girl, don't look at me like that, the master didn't order to bring you food." ”

Yuan Jie glanced at her and lowered his face: "What does she want to do with our sisters?"

Ling'er smiled: "Fourth Miss is wrong, it's not what you sisters are like, it's what you are doing." The eldest lady's sins are naturally paid for by herself, and the lack of virtue done by the fourth lady is of course not involved in the eldest lady. ”

Ling'er waved her hand, called the two guards, and ordered, "Take her away." ”

Yuan Jie panicked when she heard this, and asked with a struggle, "Where do you want to take me?"

Ling'er tilted her face and looked at her with half sarcasm: "Fourth girl, what's the use of asking so much? No matter how much you ask, you are also a fool after all, since you are a fool, don't worry about it so much." ”

"You don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Jie struggled desperately, calling Yuan Jia's name, trying to beg Yuan Jia to say a few words for him. But what can Yuan Jia do, he can't protect himself, where can he take care of her?

"Fourth Miss rest assured, it's a good thing after all. Ling'er hugged her arms and said lightly.

"What's a good thing? Fart! What benefit can Wei Yuanxi give me?! Even my own second sister refuses to recognize me, why should she, a relative who can't beat me, care about me! You let me go! If you drag me again, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"

When the two guards heard this, they didn't dare to make a move, but they just looked at Yuan Jie on the left and right, and both looked at Ling'er.

Ling'er hooked the corners of her lips, stared at Yuan Jie, and said indifferently: "That's good, since the fourth lady has this kind of heart, it is just right for the slave maid to have a long insight." The slave is so big, and I have never seen the fourth lady have any backbone. The master said, if the fourth young lady refuses to obey and bites her tongue in disguise, you are not allowed to stop it, just stand there and watch her bite. If she refuses to bite, you will help her with knives. ”

Ling'er took out a saber from a soldier's waist, held it in his hand, and said, "Fourth Miss, do you bite it yourself, or do you want a slave to help you?"

Yuan Jie naturally didn't dare to bite her tongue because she was afraid of pain. But being so provoked by Ling'er, she didn't bite, she didn't bite, she didn't bite, and she stood there stunned.

"Come on, Fourth Miss, since you don't dare to bite, why do you want to be a chaste martyr?" Ling Er sneered.

"You!" Yuan Jie was so angry with her that she really bit her tongue, but only the tip of her tooth was bitten a little, and a little blood flowed out, and she burst into tears in pain, and she didn't dare to bite down again.

Ling'er stared at her and said indifferently: "Fourth Miss, why are you doing this? I don't want to punish you, I said that it was a happy event!"

This is the first time in Yuan Jie's life that he has been fortunate enough to enter the Prince's Mansion, although he is in prison, he still can't help but look up at the carved beams and paintings of the Prince's Mansion.

Yuan Jie was pushed to the ground by two soldiers, and when she looked up, Yuan Xi was sitting opposite her drinking tea. There was a middle-aged man standing next to him, a little ugly, but not too ugly. This person is wearing a colorful satin, which looks a little vulgar, but it looks quite rich.

"Fourth Miss, let's meet, this is your future husband, all of them are selected according to your standards, don't you want to marry a rich businessman?" Ling'er stood behind Yuan Xi and said loudly.

Yuan Jie stared at a pair of eyes and looked at the man for a long time, ugly, but he was a rich man. Although Yuan Jie's face was resistant, his heart was seven or eight points.

"Are you still satisfied?" asked Won-hee.

Yuan Jie didn't speak, but the man next to him spoke: "Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied." ”

The man spoke in such a thick dialect that if he hadn't spoken quickly, Yuan Jie could barely hear what he was saying.

"It's good to be satisfied," Yuan Xi put the teacup on the table and said indifferently: "My fourth sister, I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I can't do any work, after marrying into your family, you have to take care of it diligently, so as not to have a child in the future, and you can't even embroider a belly pocket." ”

"Yes, yes. The man bowed to Yuanxi and reached out to pull Yuanjie, Yuanjie looked at him for a while, but felt that this man was not bad. is a rich businessman, and he is quite gentle with himself, ugly is ugly, and being rich is the right thing. So he half-pushed and half-pushed, and followed the man who wanted to welcome and refuse.

Ling'er smiled and sent the two of her out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

"Lady, you wait first, I'll push the cart. The man said.

Yuan Jie was stunned for a moment, and saw him push a small truck used by merchants to walk the streets from under the wall.

Yuan Jie's face turned green: "You, aren't you a rich businessman?"

"Yes, in our village, I'm the richest mile!"

Yuan Jie turned around and wanted to smash the door of the prince's mansion, but was grabbed by the man: "You are already my person, it's better to learn to be obedient." ”

The man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of rugged black and yellow teeth.
