The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 14: The big enemy in the previous life is still a madman

"So, this regent is so powerful that he's second only to the emperor?"

Xu Keke was eating the snacks her sister Xuanyunduo brought her, and chatting absentmindedly with Dingdang.

"Yes! Miss, we have offended a very important person this time. Hurry and eat more good food. If the regent is unhappy, we may lose our heads."

As Dingdang spoke, she fed herself another piece of osmanthus cake.

Xu Keke was stunned. Could it be that the servants are like their masters?

Isn't Dingdang also a fool?

Xu Keke rolled her eyes at Dingdang.

"Silly girl, you are such a careless person. Even when your life is at stake, you are still thinking about food. Can you be more ambitious?

Even if the Regent is extremely powerful, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to think of a way."

Ha, Miss, you think I'm stupid?

Dingdang's mouth was full and she stared blankly at Xu Keke, which looked a bit silly.

"Miss, what can we do? We are in this prison, and there is no one to help us."

Xu Keke frowned, fell into deep thought, and spoke after a moment.

"I just don't believe it. This Regent is an unreasonable man. Maybe once his anger subsides, we still have a chance of survival."

Dingdang swallowed the food in his mouth and sighed.

"Miss, please don't be so naive. Think about what you want to eat today! A noble figure like the Regent will never let us go so easily."

Xu Keke stood up and paced back and forth.

"No, we can't just accept our fate. Dingdang, think about it again. Is there anyone in the teahouse that day who can testify for me that we didn't intend to offend the Regent?"

Dingdang shook her head with a bitter face.

"Miss, I was willing to be with you at that time, but she said she went to the toilet. It's a pity that the servant was not there at the time."

Xu Keke sat back in her chair helplessly and started thinking.

After a while, Xu Keke came up with a good idea. Since no one could prove her guilt and the government wouldn't bring her to trial, she might as well prove her innocence herself.

He found a white undershirt from the underwear sent by Butler Liu, tore off a piece, and spread it out on the dining table.

Xu Keke made up her mind and bit her index finger. Red blood quickly seeped out and she used this blood to write on the white cloth.

Dingdang's mouth twitched when she saw this.

She was not worried that the young lady couldn't write. The young lady had been taught to read before her head was damaged. Over the years, the master would teach the young lady to practice calligraphy over and over again in his spare time.

But won’t it hurt the lady if she bites her finger to write like this?

When you think about the fact that your life is in danger, does it really matter whether it hurts or not?

Dingdang walked forward and planned to bite her finger.

"Miss, use Jingle. Jingle is not afraid of pain."

"Don't make things worse, miss. I'm almost done writing."

Xu Keke spoke out to stop him without even raising her head.

Although this little maidservant seems not very smart, she is loyal, and this alone makes her better than countless others.

Xu Keke finished writing quickly. Because biting her finger was too painful and the bleeding was not much, she only wrote a short line.

Then just leave it there and forget about it.

Dingdang leaned over to watch carefully.

As the maidservant beside the young lady, Dingdang has also learned to read and write, so she watched without blinking.

What are you writing, miss? These characters are all missing some parts, so I can only guess:

"Make a wish and push me down the stairs."

After understanding it, Dingdang immediately gritted her teeth.

"I think there's something fishy about Miss Yuanyuan from the first room, and I've already warned Madam, but unfortunately there's no witness!"

After saying that, he looked at the lady who was walking to the bed to eat pastries.

"Miss, who are you going to give this blood letter to? Are you going to show it to the Regent?"

Xu Keke nodded.

"Well, the one who tied the bell must untie it. Since it was the Regent who arrested us, we can only hope that he will be more careful and thorough."

Dingdang frowned, looking worried.

"Miss, will the Regent trust us? What if he doesn't believe us and instead blames us?"

Xu Keke muttered with pastries stuffed in her mouth.

"How can we save our lives if we are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind? And Dingdang, why did you follow me in like a fool?"

This question seemed difficult for Dingdang. She thought for a while before answering.

"I am the young lady's maid. Wherever the young lady goes, I will go. There is nothing to say."

As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the cell and a jailer walked in, speaking in a rough voice.

"Xu Keke, someone is here to visit the prison."

Xu Keke and Dingdang looked at each other and thought that they were quite popular. Before noon, they had already welcomed two groups of visitors.

"Hey! Here it comes."

The master and servant walked to the iron fence in tacit understanding, holding the iron fence with both hands and waiting for people to come and watch.

Just like the animals in the cages of the zoo.

Soon, a tall man walked in.

He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and facial lines that are as perfect as if they were carefully carved.

A pair of deep eyes were like cold stars, revealing coldness and sharpness, but there was a hint of concern when looking at Xu Keke.

He was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and had an upright posture, which made him look dignified and handsome.

Xu Keke was stunned for a moment, until Dingdang gently pushed her and she came to her senses.

The man approached, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Coco, you've suffered."

Isn’t this the original owner’s husband Shen Qingfeng?

It turns out that he is covered with a good appearance.

But to be honest, Xu Keke had just met the Regent Chu Musheng, and she didn't think Shen Qingfeng was that good-looking.

At least the naturally cool Regent can leave him far behind.

Xu Keke was surprised why he came here to see her?

Doesn't this prison have a gatekeeper? They let all sorts of people in?

Seeing Xu Ke staring at him blankly, Shen Qingfeng was not surprised. Could he expect a silly girl to communicate with him in a friendly manner?

"Keke, I passed the exam and became the top scorer. Are you happy?"

So you're here to show off? Xu Keke continued to stare blankly.

Shen Qingfeng continued talking to himself.

"Yesterday when I was parading through the streets with flowers in my hair, all I could think about was you."

Xu Keke...

Shut up! I'm not buying it.

"I wanted to go to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage to you today, but I didn't expect you to be imprisoned here. Don't be afraid. As long as you can get out of here, I will go to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage to you."

As Shen Qingfeng spoke, he reached out to grab Xu Keke's hand.

Xu Keke took a step back, avoiding his furry claws, and spoke calmly.

"I don't want to go out because I don't want to marry you."

Now Shen Qingfeng was stunned.

"Keke, why are you so talkative?"

Dingdang looked at Xu Keke with the same feeling.

"Which side are you on?" Xu Keke pushed Dingdang and looked at Shen Qingfeng again.

She had to get rid of the dog man who had hurt the original owner's life. Regardless of whether she could get out of this prison alive, she didn't want to have anything to do with the beast in front of her.

Even if there is, it's the kind that will kill you.

"Give up on this idea! You want to use me to build your reputation as a man who keeps his promises? I'd rather marry a pig or a dog than you!"

"You...you've gone crazy after being locked up?"

Shen Qingfeng took a few steps back, turned around and left, leaving behind a word.

"I'll marry you even if I go crazy."

Xu Keke...

This guy is still a crazy one???
