On the surface, Mrs. Huang is serving Mrs. Cai, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that she and several other mothers-in-law are Mrs. Lu's people.

Mrs. Lu is more generous than Mrs. Cai, in addition to the monthly case of one or two halves of silver per month, Mrs. Huang also took a lot of rewards, and when calculated in bits and pieces, there were ten taels of silver. The husband feeds the horses in the house, and he also has eight dollars of silver every month, and the silver that the husband and wife have saved for most of the past six months is worth the hard work they used to work for two or three years.

Mrs. Huang was very content, she thought that life would get better and better, but who would have thought that just two days ago, the doorman at the back door told her that her mother's brother had come to her.

It was her brother.

The younger brother said that he met a fellow villager who returned from the capital, and said that their family had climbed high branches, worked as an errand in Bofu, and earned a lot of silver, so they rushed over from Zhending just to see her.

How could Mrs. Huang not know her brother's intention, and took out a tael of silver from the monthly bill she had just received and gave it to her younger brother, and her monthly bill was only one or two halves, and one tael of silver was a large amount for her.

The younger brother threw the tael of silver to the ground and told her that because she refused to help the eldest brother repay the debt, the eldest brother was taken away by the usurious debtor, and without five hundred taels of silver, he sold the two nephews to the small house to pay off the debt.

The younger brother said to her viciously: "Daddy and mother have raised you for nothing, you live a good life by yourself, you don't care about the eldest brother, if something happens to the eldest brother and the two nephews, don't think about it!" ”

Mrs. Huang cried and said that she couldn't take out five hundred taels, let alone five hundred taels, she didn't even have fifty taels, at most she could take out five or six taels to help her mother's family.

The younger brother sneered: "You don't have it, but your owner must have it, you can borrow it from the owner." ”

Huang Pozi first arrived, how could she have the face to borrow money from the owner, she begged bitterly, and her brother scolded her and finally left.

But when Mrs. Huang returned home in the evening, she found that her eight-year-old son and five-year-old daughter were all gone.

The husband came back later than her, the two of them were on an errand in the house on weekdays, the two children were at home by themselves, they were very sensible, never ran around, the neighbors lived in Qingyuan Bofu, and they also took care of each other, an old lady told her that someone came to their house today, saying that it was the children's uncle, maybe the uncle took the two children out to play, the old lady also advised her not to worry, the uncle and the children should come back in a while.

After hearing this, Huang Pozi's legs trembled with fright, she knew that her younger brother must have taken the two children away, and if she and her husband couldn't come up with five hundred taels of silver, her younger brother would not let the children back.

But their mother's family is far away in Zhending, and they don't know where their younger brother settled in the capital, where they can find it.

The husband and wife thought of a lot of ways, and even wanted to steal and rob them, but they were honest people, and they just thought about it, but they didn't have the courage to do it.

Just this morning, Mrs. Huang was busy with the work in Mrs. Cai's house, and just after breathing a sigh of relief, a little girl told her that her maiden brother was here, just outside the back door.

Mrs. Huang ran to the back door in one go, and it was really her younger brother who came.

The younger brother gave her a packet of spices: "You use this to smoke the quilt for Master Huasi, and it is okay to smoke the clothes, and then send the smoked quilt clothes to the prison, if you don't do it well, you don't want to see your pair of children in this life." ”

Mrs. Huang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I am in the old lady's house, not waiting for the fourth master, and it is not my turn to do things in the fourth master's house." ”

The younger brother sneered: "That's your business, you can do it yourself, if you want your son and daughter to die, you can do nothing." ”

After the younger brother finished speaking, he left, and Mrs. Huang was stunned. It took a while for her to come to her senses.

How did my younger brother know that Master Hua Si was in prison? Also, she didn't hear that the government was going to send things to the prison.

When passing by Mrs. Lu's yard, Mrs. Huang wanted to inquire, and when she walked to the door, the mother-in-law guarding the door told her that the eldest girl, Hua Jingwen, had just gone in and asked her to come back later.

Mrs. Huang was waiting outside, and the eldest girl, Hua Jingwen, came out of the house with her front foot, and Mrs. Lu let her in with her back foot.

Mrs. Lu said to her: "The fourth master is also working hard in prison, you go back now, tell the old lady, and say that you will send things to the fourth master in the prison, and see if the old lady wants to bring it over." In addition, you will send you the things that the prisoner has brought with you, and I will talk to my uncle again and ask him to send a staff member to go with you. ”

If it was usual, Mrs. Lu would let her most trusted Mama Rong go, but Mama Rong fell and injured herself when she went to Shuntian Mansion yesterday, and the other two mothers-in-law she sent to Mrs. Cai's side were bruised and swollen by Shen Xiao and couldn't see anyone, this Mrs. Huang is also her person, and she usually does things steadily, so Mrs. Lu let Mrs. Huang go over.

After Mrs. Huang came out, she saw the figure of the eldest girl Hua Jingwen from a distance, and it turned out that the eldest girl did not go far, but seemed to have been looking around.

After Master Hua Si was arrested, Mrs. Huang also came over to ask Mrs. Lu for instructions, but at that time she didn't hear Mrs. Lu talk about sending things to the prison, and after the eldest girl came, Mrs. Lu said that she was going to visit the prison, could it be that the eldest girl reminded her?

She talked to Mrs. Cai, although Mrs. Cai cried and scolded because of the matter of Master Huasi, but this was just a reason, Mrs. Cai had never been waiting to see this concubine, and when she heard Mrs. Huang say that she was going to visit the prison, she asked Mrs. Huang to arrange it herself.

Mrs. Huang didn't go to Master Huasi's yard at all, but just asked the maid to get a few changes of clothes, while she herself received a new bedding and incense the bedding with her own hands.

She prepared bedding and clothes, and sent a food box from the big kitchen, Huang Pozi opened it and looked at it, and the food box contained steamed buns and a few side dishes.

The little girl said that this food box was prepared by Mrs. Lu, and said that the prison was strictly controlled, and it was not allowed to bring too much food, so it was simple.
