I want to collect the pieces quickly

Chapter 60 My World (Seventeen)

In the dark prison cell, Chen Jingxi sat on the dry straw in a daze, leaning closely on Mrs. Chen who was also sitting on the straw. Chen Jingxi raised her eyes and glanced at the still noble and elegant Mrs. Chen, and put her question Asked out: "Mother, why?"

She still didn't understand why her family was collaborating with the enemy and treason out of nowhere, and why all of her family was thrown into prison all of a sudden.

Mrs. Chen hugged Chen Jingxi's shoulder comfortingly: "Xi'er, don't be afraid, we will go out sooner or later." But she didn't answer Chen Jingxi's question at all.

"Oh." Chen Jingxi lowered her head and became dazed again.

The five members of the Chen family were all leaning on each other, and the cell was so quiet that only the sound of breathing was left. This was what Chen Jinghua saw when she came. .”

The jailer next to him couldn't bear it and said, "You can only stay here for a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to say, speak quickly."

Chen Jinghua turned her head and nodded to the jailer: "I see, thank you."

The jailer didn't say anything else, turned around and wanted to go out, before leaving, he sighed: "Fortune and misfortune are at stake, and the Chen family is really in bad luck."

Seeing Chen Jinghua, the youngest Chen Yao ran to the door of the cell, stretched his hand across the cell, grabbed Chen Jinghua's hand, curled his lips aggrievedly: "Sister."

Chen Jinghua touched Chen Yao's head, held back tears, and squeezed out a comforting smile: "Yao'er is good, sister will pick you up soon." Then she looked at the other four people sitting inside, "Father, mother, Sister, I'm sorry, there's nothing Hua'er can do."

Mrs. Chen got up, walked to the door of the cell, and held Chen Jinghua's hand: "It's okay." After speaking, she laughed, "Fortunately, I married you a long time ago, otherwise you would have to suffer with us."

It's okay not to talk about this, but when I talked about this, Chen Jinghua burst into tears: "Then I would rather not marry, and stay with my parents and younger siblings."

"You child, why do you say that." Mrs. Chen also shed tears suddenly, "Hua'er, remember, no matter what happens to us, you must be good, understand?"

Chen Jinghua nodded: "Hua'er understands."

"Hua'er, don't be too sad, everyone has their own destiny, this is our doom," Master Chen said, paused, and continued: "If possible, you can take Yao'er out. "

Chen Jinghua continued to nod: "Okay, I will try my best."

Before the Chen family could continue to say anything, the jailer's voice came over: "Are you finished? It's fifteen minutes."

Mrs. Chen patted Chen Jinghua's hand: "It's time, you go out first."

"Okay, then I'll go first, you wait, I will try my best to rescue you." Chen Jinghua looked at the two younger sisters who had been quietly watching her, clenched her fists, turned and left.

Here, Chen Jinghua had just returned to her residence in Dingzhou, when there was news from the prison: Mr. Chen couldn't stand the punishment, he confessed, committed suicide in the prison, and the second Miss Chen, Chen Jingrong, also passed away due to illness.

"Boom."

The teacup in Chen Jinghua's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered, making an ear-piercing sound. Chen Jinghua was in a daze, and turned to look at the maid who had just told her the news: "What did you say?"

The servant girl lowered her head: "Please, my Madam mourns."

Chen Jinghua suddenly shouted loudly: "I ask you, what did you just say? Say what you just said again!"

The servant girl was so frightened that she knelt down and stammered: "Chen, Mr. Chen committed suicide by confessing. Chen, the second miss, died of... illness..."

As if a hammer had hit the center of his head, Chen Jinghua's eyes darkened and he passed out.

"lady!"

Everything is like a dream, maybe after waking up from the dream, everything will be back to normal, she is still the third lady of the Dingzhou Imperial Merchant Chen family, and Chen Jingxi who is loved by her father, mother, sister, and younger brother.

"Xi'er, you're awake."

Just as Chen Jingxi opened her eyes, she heard Mrs. Chen's hoarse voice. Chen Jingxi got up and looked at Mrs. Chen: "Mother, I'm fine."

Mrs. Chen hugged Chen Jingxi, sobbing: "Xi'er, your father and your second sister have already passed away, and now there are only three mothers left to depend on each other. You must be well."

Mrs. Chen's voice has become hoarse from crying for a long time. Chen Jingxi couldn't help but feel a little dazed when she thought of the previous scenes. Her father was taken away by the jailer for interrogation. When he came back, he was covered in blood and his breathing was weak. I was stimulated to have a sudden attack, but because there was no medicine after taking the medicine, and...

Chen Jingxi came back to her senses, hugged Mrs. Chen, and closed her eyes: "Okay, I will be fine, and we will depend on each other from now on."

Dingzhou, which had been cloudy for many days, suddenly cleared up. Early in the morning, firecrackers were set off at the gate of the city, and a long red carpet was spread on the ground, from the gate of the city to the gate of the prefect.

"Hey, do you know what's going on here? What's going on at the magistrate's house?"

"I've heard others say this. It seems that Mr. Song from the magistrate's family has returned from his scientific examinations. Mr. Song seems to have won Tanhua."

"Song Gongzi is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, and he will definitely have a great future in the future, but I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry him."

"Hey, don't you know? Mr. Song has been engaged to the third lady of the Chen family a few years ago."

"The Chen family? I couldn't be the one who thought of the Chen family, right?"

"That's the Chen family, but now the Chen family is charged with such a crime, and a few days ago, Mr. Chen and Miss Chen have already gone to prison. Now only Mrs. Chen, Miss Chen, the young master and Mrs. Chen are left in the entire Chen family. That Miss Chen who is already married has no pillars in her family, and the Chen family, tsk tsk, is in decline, so I think this marriage contract is unlikely."

"Shh, you can't talk nonsense about this, if you hear it, it will inevitably lead to disaster."

"That's what you said. Hey, Mr. Song seems to be back over there. Let's go and have a look."

At the gate of the city, Song Yuhua wore a jade crown and rode a white horse. He looked handsome and had a gentle smile on his face, which made the cheeks of the little girls around him turn red.

Seeing Prefect Song, Song Yu got off his horse and bowed to Prefect Song: "Father, my son has lived up to everyone's expectations."

Song Zhifu nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, my son is really outstanding."

Song Yu smiled, looked around, but did not see the figure of Sisiyeyexiang, Song Yu couldn't help frowning, and asked Song Zhifu: "Father, have you seen Jingxi? Why didn't Jingxi come today?"

Song Zhifu's complexion suddenly changed, and he said vaguely: "You follow me back to the mansion first, as for other matters, we will talk about them later."

Song Yu didn't understand why, so she nodded, rode on the horse again, stepped on the red carpet, and walked slowly all the way to the Song Mansion.
