After Rouze was sent to Ganlu Temple, Xinghui's kneeling punishment finally ended.

But ever since Fei Yanggu found out that Xinghui had done such a foolish thing, he began to doubt his son's abilities.

Even though Rou was his biological sister, there was no reason for her to do such a thing to deceive the emperor.

Xinghui knew that Fei Yanggu had changed his mind about him, so he decided not to make any excuses and instead to prove himself with his ability.

On this day, news came in that the He family was convicted.

Judge He lied about the astronomical phenomena and tried to influence the emperor. He was an act of usurpation and was imprisoned and executed on the same day.

Official positions in the Imperial Observatory have been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times, and all of them are from fortune-telling families.

Occasionally, people with knowledge of astronomy were promoted. Such people could not hold high positions, but if the emperor of the dynasty attached great importance to astronomy, they would occasionally be assigned some important tasks.

The He family was promoted from the common people, and they had no foundation in the court. Now that the He family was convicted, no one came to help them, and they were quickly convicted.

The He family was not well-off. After Judge He fell, the houses awarded by the higher authorities were soon taken back from the other members of the He family. They had to dismiss their servants and go out to make a living.

The land price in the capital is high now. Although they were once the families of officials, they have now become criminals. After their property was searched, they are worse off than the ordinary people outside.

What's more, Mrs. He was completely mentally broken because of the execution of Judge He.

He Mianmian, who was only 28 years old, struggled to support her mother and younger brother.

He Mianmian sold the jewelry she had, but the pawnshop took advantage of her young age and gave her two taels of silver less. When she went to look for the jewelry again, the pawnshop denied it.

He Mianmian could only grit her teeth and accept the matter.

After finally finding a small courtyard that they could afford, He Mianmian didn't know how to take care of the next things.

The constant feeling of being at a loss made her burst into tears.

The two younger brothers ran up to her and comforted her, “Don’t cry, Sister.”

He Mianmian looked at her mother expectantly, but she was still staring at the door in a daze as usual, as if her husband would come back in the next second.

"mother!"

He Mianmian shouted, but her mother remained unmoved.

Ever since my father's accident, my mother has been like this. She seems to have completely lost her perception of the outside world. Even when her own children call her, she doesn't respond at all.

He Mianmian was desperate.

She hasn't encountered too many hardships in her life.

The first trouble she encountered in her life was such a devastating disaster.

Her frail back collapsed.

He fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

The two younger brothers were at a loss.

The mother remained unmoved.

He Mianmian cried for a long time before she stood up and wiped away her tears.

Maybe... maybe there is a way.

The young master of the Ulanara clan once said that he wanted to marry her.

Now that her family is in trouble, he certainly won't want her to be his wife anymore, so she...she can be his concubine.

My father is dead, and that is a fact that cannot be changed.

But mother and brother have to live.

If the son of the Ulanara family could help them, she would definitely repay him well.

He Mianmian first went to Ganlu Temple for two consecutive days, but no one came.

On the contrary, Mo Yan, the usually serious nun, always smiles.

On the third day, she saw a familiar figure.

Ulanala Xinghui.

He Mianmian used to like Zhen Yuandao more.

Although she had agreed to Xinghui's proposal.

But it was only because Zhen Yuandao wanted her to be his concubine for his future, and Xinghui, who was born in the Eight Banners of the Manchu, promised her the status of his wife.

But, looking at it again now, I actually feel that there is some light from the starlight on me.

"Starlight!"

He Mianmian went to meet him.

Xinghui subconsciously stopped his horse and looked at the girl.

He Mianmian no longer had gorgeous clothes at this time, only a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt.

However, the girl is young and pretty, and her beauty cannot be concealed.

Although her face looked a little haggard, it only made people feel distressed.

But Xinghui's gaze was no longer as eager as before. He looked away after just one glance.

He Mianmian didn't know the truth of the matter, but how could Xinghui not know it?

He also guessed that not only the He family, but also the Concubine De in the palace might have the intention of making moves on Concubine Yi.

It's just that the time is not ripe yet.

Having experienced the fickleness of human nature during this period of time, He Mianmian was keenly aware of Xinghui's small actions.

He Mianmian had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still wanted to ask one more question.

"Master Xinghui, do you still mean what you said that day?"

Xinghui said calmly: "It was just a joke, don't take it to heart."

He Mianmian took a few steps back and smiled bitterly.

She had thought about this result.

She knew that she was no longer a daughter of an official family and was no longer worthy of these young masters of official families.

But Xinghui, who had vowed to marry me as his wife a few days ago, actually cut off all ties with me.

She wanted to give Xinghui a decent smile, but she really couldn't.

"I see. Sorry to bother you, sir."

Xinghui rode his horse forward.

He Mianmian looked at his back.

But there was still a faint hope in her heart.

If Xinghui had completely forgotten about her, why would he come to Ganlu Temple?

She stared blankly at Xinghui's back.

He got off the horse, walked up to the serious nun and whispered a few words to her.

The nun went in, and soon came out with a beautiful and delicate woman.

The woman's clothes were not gorgeous, but it could be seen that they were made of very high-quality material.

Seeing Xinghui, a faint smile appeared on her face.

He Mianmian's eyes were sore, and her heart was even more sour.

It turned out that Xinghui met more than one person in Ganlu Temple.

It was indeed a joke.

She was the only one who took the joke seriously.

He Mianmian turned around and hurried down the mountain, but when she was near her home, she met another unexpected person.

"Brother Yuandao!"

He Mianmian just realized it after she shouted out loud.

The Zhen Yuandao in front of her is no longer her brother Yuandao.

Her brother who lives far away will not marry someone else for his future.

Zhen Yuandao turned around and saw He Mianmian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Mianmian!"

"I asked around for a long time before I found out you lived here, but I knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered. So you really do live here."
