296 Torture

Just as the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, just as Jian Shuqi began to be tortured, another bad news reached Jian's house: the Pan family, who had been engaged to Jian Shushi, suddenly sent someone to the door to ask for a divorce.

After listening to the Pan family's request, Liao's eyes turned black with anger, and he almost fainted. After I went back, I almost hugged my daughter Jian Shushi and cried all night.

Of course, Jian Shushi was also very angry, but she cared more about her mother's body, and kept comforting her by the side.

Early the next morning, while her mother was still asleep, Jian Shushi ordered someone to return the Pan family's marriage book and Geng Ti.

The Pan family thought that this was the Liao family's decision, and quickly returned the Jian family's marriage letter and Geng Ti.

As soon as the marriage letter and Geng post of the two parties were withdrawn, it means that the marriage was canceled and the two families had no relationship.

When Liao woke up and learned about it, he felt distressed and guilty for his daughter.

In this world, any woman who has been divorced by the man will bear this shame for the rest of her life and be pointed at and talked about. That's why it's common to hear that some women commit suicide because they were divorced by their men.

Liao's didn't expect the Pan family to be so cold, she really shouldn't have made this marriage for her daughter, resulting in the bad reputation of being divorced by her daughter in vain.

Compared with Liao's self-blame, Jian Shushi was very calm, and did not dare to see people because of this, but more actively accompanied her mother to find a way to rescue her brother Jian Shuqi, and tried to share her pressure as much as possible.

So many things have happened in a row, and she has seen it very clearly, outsiders are unreliable, and only her mother and eldest brother are the relatives who really care about her. The most important thing now is to get my brother out as soon as possible.

Waiting for Liao's to recover, two days later, Luo's family suddenly came to the door and said that they would take Luo's back to her parents' house to visit Luo's mother, who was unwell.

This reason is really impeccable, and the Liao family naturally did not dare to stop it, so they could only let Luo's family take their daughter-in-law back to their parents' home.

When leaving, Luo looked depressed, and did not even dare to look into Liao's eyes when he said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, two days after this person was picked up, the Luo family sent someone to say that the Luo family wanted to reconcile with him because of his disagreement with Jian Shuqi.

The people sent by the Locke family also said that as long as the Liao family was willing to agree to the reconciliation of the two families, the Locke family would send someone to the government to deal with it, so that Jian Shuqi would suffer less in prison.

Again and again, repeated blows almost crushed the always strong Liao.

If it weren't for her daughter Jian Shushi who was always by her side and constantly comforting and supporting her, Liao's might not be able to hold on.

Anyway, Liao finally survived.

Because she knew very well in her heart that she must not fall at this time, otherwise her son Jian Shuqi would really be gone.

No matter what the cost, she will save her son.

After thinking about it for a full day, Liao finally decided to see her son in prison first, and then she wanted to make sure what his condition was.

So the Liao family sent someone to reply to the Locke family, saying that they could agree to leave the house, but the condition was that the Locke family would go to the yamen immediately, and she would personally go into the prison to let Jian Shuqi write the book and leave the book.

The Luo family didn't expect that the Liao family would be so simple, so they immediately went to the government to take care of it.

The Locke family is a well-known local gentry family, and with their assistance, the Liao family finally got the opportunity to visit her son in prison, for which she was both excited and sad.

Since the prison stipulates that only one person can enter, after the date of the visit was determined, Liao went in alone with his things.

In the prison filled with all kinds of peculiar smells and dimly lit, Liao finally met his son Jian Shuqi, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a month.

At the first glance of Jian Shuqi, Liao finally couldn't hold back crying anymore.

I saw that the son, who had always been handsome and clean, was sloppy and embarrassed like a beggar.

But this is not the most heart-wrenching thing for Liao, what really shocked her was that her son's clothes were stained with blood, which was obviously tortured!

Liao once wishfully thought that his son was a jinshi who had been an official no matter what he said, and the people in the yamen should not dare to execute him.

However, the reality is much more cruel than she imagined, her son is not only punished, but also severely punished.

Seeing this scene, Liao's whole person was close to collapse, as if a knife was constantly cutting her heart.

Originally, when visiting the prison, the family could only visit outside the cell. But because the jailers all accepted the benefits of the Luo family, they made an exception to open the cell door and let the Liao family go in and talk to Jian Shuqi nearby.

As soon as the jailer opened the cell door, Liao, who loved his son, immediately rushed into the cell and hugged Jian Shuqi and cried uncontrollably.

"Mother, I'm fine." Jian Shuqi said with difficulty in a hoarse and deep voice.

As a result of the torture he had been subjected to for several days, he was now covered in wounds, and almost the slightest movement was in pain. Now that I am being hugged by my mother like this, the wound I was pressed on is even more painful.

But for the sake of An Niang's heart, he could only endure and not show it.

After Liao cried for a while, he remembered that his son was injured, so he quickly let go of him, and then carefully helped him and asked, "Qi'er, how did you get this injury?" Did they really torture you? ”

Jian Shuqi knew that lying at this time would only make his mother more worried, so he nodded and said, "It's a little punishment, but it's not too serious." Mother, don't worry, I can stand it. ”

Liao Shi said excitedly: "Didn't you say that you can't punish the doctor?" How dare they do this to you? Is there still a royal law for this? ”

Jian Shuqi saw that the jailer in charge of the guard had already walked away, so he lowered his voice and said, "If I guessed correctly, Fan Zhifu and Shen Zhixian must have accepted the benefits of Jian Shuzhong and wanted to put me to death."

They tortured me in order to force me to sign a confession so that I could be condemned to death.

Once I confess my guilt, that's the only way to go.

So it's useless for you to beg them, they won't let me go. ”

"What then?!" After hearing this, Liao Shi was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the whole person was stunned.

Jian Shuqi looked around, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned over to his mother and whispered something in his mother's ear.

After listening to what his son said, Liao asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”

"The son is not lying, it is naturally true. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask Feng Xuan, I had already asked him to do this before he was taken away. ”

"But will the man you said really come to your rescue? After all, you haven't seen each other in years. ”

Jian Shuqi said word by word: "Mother, I believe him." ”

Looking at his son's face full of determination, Liao couldn't help but slowly swell with hope, and then muttered to himself: "That's good, that's good." ”

She said these words more to herself, and she also hoped that her son did not believe in the wrong person.

Until now, she can't think of any way to save her son, and now she can only hope for that person.

Jian Shuqi advised: "When you go back, get ready, wait for your son's news." ”

"I know, I'll be ready, don't worry." Liao, who had renewed hope, immediately recovered his spirits and hurriedly agreed.

Because they were afraid that the wall would have ears, the two didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, so Liao Shi told Jian Shuqi about the situation outside.

If it was before, Liao didn't plan to tell Jian Shuqi the real situation outside, so as not to worry him.

But now that she has new hope, she no longer hides it and tells everything outside.

After hearing that the patriarch was going to remove him from the clan, Jian Shuqi's eyes showed a strong hatred.

Like the Liao family, he believed that the patriarch did this because he received the benefits of Jian Shuzhong.

Otherwise, he was one of the top three Tanhua Yan, and he was also an official in the Hanlin Academy, how could the clan not even try to rescue him a little, and just give up on him directly, this is unreasonable.

As for the Pan family's divorce, Jian Shuqi was not very angry, but felt that it was a good thing.

The Pan family is so cold and unkind, it is not a good thing if my sister marries like this.

Although the divorce is harmful to the reputation of the younger sister, it is much better than being wronged after marrying.

After listening to his son's explanation, Liao also felt that he was reasonable, and he felt better in his heart.

In the end, the Locke family wants to reconcile with the Jane family. Jian Shuqi was silent for a moment, and then said very calmly: "Harmony is harmony, divorce, mother, do you bring pen and ink?" I'm going to write and leave the book now. ”

Liao Shi was naturally prepared, and took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the basket.

After pondering for a while, Jian Shuqi quickly wrote a letter of reconciliation and divorce on the grounds of disagreement and signed his name.

After putting away and leaving the book, Liao comforted his son very distressed: "Chess, Luo's family has nothing to do with you, don't be too sad." ”

Jian Shuqi smiled and said, "Don't worry about my mother, my son has already thought about it." You're right, it's Luo and I who have no fate, so it's no wonder that others. ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be forcing himself, Liao relieved himself.

Judging from her mother's performance, Jian Shuqi knew that she didn't know that the Luo family might be involved in this matter.

In order not to make her mother, who was already under great pressure, sad, Jian Shuqi decided to hide the matter and not let her know for the time being.

And judging from Luo's reaction at that time, she should also be the one who was deceived by Jian Shuzhong and Jian Shuqin.

It's just that the matter has come to this, even if the Locke family does not propose to reconcile, it is impossible for him to live with this woman who has trapped him in injustice.

It can only be said that he does have a relationship with the Luo family, and the two sides will be separated from each other in the future.

……………………

After visiting his son from prison, Liao simply handed over the letter of separation to the Luo family, and not only that, but also took the initiative to return Luo's dowry without any difference.

Luo's father and Luo's mother originally only wanted to get the letter of harmony and divorce so as not to be implicated by the Jian family, but they didn't expect that the Liao family even returned their daughter's dowry.

Seeing Liao's generosity so much, Luo's father and Luo's mother couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and they hurriedly returned the dowry gift given by the Jian family.

At this point, the two families have officially severed their relationship, and there is no arrears.

After helping his son deal with this matter, the Liao family did not go around begging for someone to rescue his son as before, but began to live in seclusion, and tightened the vigilance in his yard, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Although Jian Shuqin had the heart to investigate, due to the tight defense of Liao's courtyard, she couldn't find anything.

But thinking that the overall situation was decided at this time, she didn't care too much, and began to enjoy the satisfaction of being in the backyard.
