Feng Jiyuan walked in and looked at the clean courtyard. He saw that a special area was set aside near the base of the wall. Some wild flowers grew naturally, but there were no other weeds. It looked like it had been carefully repaired, and it looked a bit different. artistic conception.

He turned his eyes and saw clothes drying on a bamboo pole. A pink bellyband unexpectedly came into view. The light yellow embroidery on it moved slightly in the wind, as if it was playing with someone's heartstrings.

Feng Jiyuan's face suddenly turned red, from his cheeks to his ears.

"What's wrong?" Dong Jiafu looked over suspiciously. For a moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

She ran over as fast as she could, pulled off her bellyband, and put away the other clothes. She turned around and said, "You go in and sit for a while. I'll sort out the clothes and come out."

"Oh, okay." Feng Jiyuan immediately turned his face and walked towards the main room in a slightly panic.

Dong Jiafu carried the clothes into the inner room from another door and hurriedly threw the clothes on the bed. Just as she was about to turn away, she thought about it and picked up the clothes again and stuffed them into the closet. She even covered her belly tightly. Real.

She covered her face with both hands, took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Well, I washed the clothes this morning and forgot to put them away in advance."

Feng Jiyuan stood up from the chair and didn't know where to put his hands for a moment, "Yes, yes, the sun is pretty good today."

"...You sit down first and I'll make you some tea."

"Do not bother……"

Before Feng Jiyuan finished speaking, Dong Jiafu had disappeared.

Feng Jiyuan was stunned, and suddenly couldn't help laughing softly.

Wait until Dong Jiafu comes back with a cup of tea

By the time, both of them had recovered their emotions and looked as normal, pretending that the embarrassment just now had not happened.

"Please have tea." Dong Jiafu put the tea cup next to Feng Jiyuan's hand.

"Afu, please sit down too, don't be busy."

"Okay." Dong Jiafu sat down next to him.

Feng Jiyuan glanced at the tea on the table, raised his head and asked, "Afu, did you do all these things yourself?"

"Of course, after all, I live alone and I have to do everything by myself." Dong Jiafu replied with a smile.

"Afu, you've suffered." Feng Jiyuan's eyes were full of heartache, "You used to stay away from the sun and grew up pampered, but now you have to do so much menial work."

"Actually, it's not tiring to do these things. I'm used to it."

Dong Jiafu was unable to do many things because of her physical condition. Now that she is healthy, she is willing to learn to do these things.

It has now been proven that she can live well here on her own.

Feng Jiyuan couldn't bear it, "Afu, you should let me take you home earlier. If you have any concerns, you can tell me and I will help you solve them."

"Can you tell me why I was separated from my family?" Dong Jiafu asked what he had always doubted.

"It turns out you don't even remember this."

Feng Jiyuan sighed softly and began to say: "Your father used to participate in politics in Yingzhou. The weather in the winter three years ago was abnormal. It rained and snowed continuously for more than twenty days. The rain was so fast and fierce that the river dam burst. , causing floods. Many people along the river were displaced, even lost their lives, and their families were destroyed."

Dong Jiafu had the impression that when she first arrived here, she saw a long river several feet wide.

, I just don’t understand what being separated from my family has to do with this matter.

Could it be that their family was also affected by the disaster? But according to Feng Jiyuan, her father is a fourth-rank official and should not be affected by the flood.

Dong Jiafu said nothing and continued to listen to Feng Jiyuan's words.

"This incident alarmed the imperial court, and the late emperor sent people to Yingzhou to supervise the construction of the dam and resettlement of the refugees, and at the same time found out the cause of the dam burst. From the day of the accident, Uncle Dong had been arranging the construction of the dam and the resettlement of the refugees. It was common to stay awake all night. Later, the matter was almost settled, but the envoys sent by the late emperor found out that someone embezzled official money when building the dam, and that person was Uncle Dong. "

"How could this happen?" Dong Jiafu whispered.

"We all know what Uncle Dong is like. He is most upright and honest. It is impossible for him to be greedy for money."

Feng Jiyuan was very sure, and then said: "But by the time my father and Uncle Dong learned the news, it was already too late when they wanted to defend themselves. The envoy had already written a note and submitted it to the police together with the so-called evidence collected. The late emperor."

"What happened next?" Dong Jiafu couldn't help but hold the armrests of the chair tightly.

"The late emperor was furious after seeing what he had seen. He didn't even let Uncle Dong come to Beijing for trial. He issued a decree to convict you and banish your family to Mobei."

Dong Jiafu's face turned pale, "Then I..."

"All five members of your family were exiled, but you slipped and fell into the water on the road. The officer responsible for escorting you saw you with your hands tied and being washed away by the flood, and decided that you would not survive, so he reported your death to the court. ."

Dong Jiafu recalled that when she first met the original owner, her whole body was covered with bruises, and her wrists

The skin was broken in the last loop, so I guess I broke free of the rope and luckily escaped with my life.

When Feng Jiyuan mentioned the matter again, his face still showed sadness, "At that time, my father was busy thinking of ways to prove Uncle Dong's innocence. He was negligent and forgot to continue with his official duties. By the time he received the news of your accident, it was already too late. "

"So my family has been exiled in Mobei for the past three years?" Dong Jiafu's heart ached.

Feng Jiyuan said calmly: "Yes, although my father asked someone to take care of him, Uncle Dong and the others still suffered a lot."

"Then where are they now?" Feng Jiyuan said that if he took her to reunite with his family, they would not be still in Mobei.

"They are in Yangzhou now."

"Has the matter been found out?" Dong Jiafu asked eagerly.

"Yes, after the Holy One ascended the throne, he issued a general amnesty to the whole world, and personally included your family in the amnesty. Later, the Holy One asked people to re-examine the case of that year, and with the clues my father collected over the years, it was discovered that the embezzlement of officials and banknotes was used to build the dam. There is someone else."

"who is it?"

"It's your father's superior, Chief Minister Zhu."

Dong Jiafu thought for a while and said, "He framed the case. Did the envoy back then also have problems? Otherwise, why did the late emperor read what he handed over and made a conclusion without even examining it."

"Afu is so smart," Feng Jiyuan praised, "You are right, the envoy was bribed by Lord Zhu. To be precise, he joined the Second Prince's party."

Dong Jiafu was startled, "This case also involves party disputes?"

Feng Jiyuan nodded, "The second prince began to win over the ministers of the court a long time ago, Lord Zhu is one of them. After the flood in Yingzhou, Lord Zhu was afraid of things

When it was revealed, he begged the second prince. The second prince used coercion to lure the envoys, and while Uncle Dong was busy rescuing the disaster, they secretly created the perjury. "
