After Wang Mingyu left, Mrs. Wang Yi seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and she collapsed on the chair as if she had exhausted all her strength, and she didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang Yi spoke again, her voice was not as calm and powerful as just now, but a little tired and hoarse: "Xiu'er, come and pack up with your grandmother, I want to go see your grandfather and your father." Wang Xi's family and Xiaoque go to the kitchen to get some snacks, and I'll bring them over. ”

"Grandmother!" Qian Qian went over and helped the old lady up: "I'll go see my grandfather, you are old, don't go to places like prisons." ”

"No!" Mrs. Wang Yi's face was stern: "You are not allowed to go!" You can't go to a place like that for an unmarried girl! I'm half an old woman, what am I afraid of! You are at home, prepare the exam basket for your brother, nothing else matters, only your brother, everything can't be frugal, everything is as usual! ”

"I see!" Qian Qian didn't argue and nodded honestly. She could understand Mrs. Wang Yi's worries and anxieties, so she did not ask for trouble to visit the prison.

Before Qian Qian's stepmother left, she handed back the keys to the account room and the treasury to Mrs. Wang Yi, and the old lady took the key and instructed Qian Qian: "Go and see how much cash there is first, keep enough for your brother to use, and take out the rest, I am afraid it will cost a lot to fix the prison." It's just that the flowers should be spent, so that your grandfather and them will suffer less. ”

Because it has just been the New Year, Zhuang Shang has just paid a year's annual rent, and there is still a surplus of money in the account, plus when Qian Qian's stepmother left, she didn't bring anything except clothes, and she handed over a box of dowry jewelry to Mrs. Wang before leaving, so the money is enough.

Qian Qian didn't have time to carefully look at the family's accounts, but the education of noble girls, housekeeping and accounting is a compulsory course, Qian Qian has studied for so long, naturally she will not be blinded, she only briefly flipped through the recent account books at home to know that Wang Shangshu's household mainly depends on the income of a few shops and a few granges in addition to Yulu, at least from the books, the corruption of the gods and horses is really groundless.

However, Qian Qian, who has experienced several lifetimes, naturally knows that sometimes the crime is just an excuse, and political cleansing is the main goal. Maybe Wang Shangshu's family is really involved in something great, but I don't know who this upright father and son have offended. Knocking down Wang Shangshu and his son at once, this is not something that can be done by being a court master alone!

Qian Qian took a grandmother and moved all the cash and silver tickets in the family to Mrs. Wang Yi's house: "Grandmother, look at it, that's all now, I think it's enough, if it's not enough, there is still my mother's dowry to use." ”

"Your mother's dowry belongs to you and Yu'er," Mrs. Wang didn't raise her head, lowered her head to pack up the clothes in her hand: "There is a grandmother, where can you use your mother's dowry, grandmother's dowry is no worse than your mother's." ”

"Yes!" Qian Qian sat next to Mrs. Wang and packed up her clothes with her.

The grandfather and grandson picked up sturdy and thick cotton robes, middle coats, etc., and packed up a whole big burden. It just so happened that Xiaoque and Mama Wang also made some meals and snacks, packed food boxes and brought them over.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang Yi stood up and instructed Qian Qian: "Xiu'er, grandmother may come back late, you will follow your brother to sleep with Ying'er in his yard tonight, there are few people in the house, and it is not safe for you to stay in a girl's house by yourself." You brothers and sisters want to eat, so start the fire in your brother's kitchen, don't wait for me. ”

After instructing Qian Qian, the old lady put on a cloak, took two old grandmothers, and went to visit the prison with large bags and small bags. Qian Qian called the little bird, went back to his yard and simply packed up some things, hugged the rabbit and went to Wang Mingyu's yard.

Wang Shangshu and his son in prison didn't suffer too much, at least when Mrs. Wang went, they looked fine.

Mrs. Wang handed the package to her old man, and reported one by one: "I dismissed the family, and the eldest daughter-in-law I let her take the child back to her parents' house, leaving Yu'er and Xiu'er to accompany me." Don't worry, nothing will delay Yu'er's exam, Xiu'er, I won't let her go out, our mother is waiting for you at home. ”

Wang Shangshu nodded, his lips under the cover of his beard trembled slightly, and the beard that led to his chin curled up one by one. After so many years, it is the old woman in the family who knows him best.

The old man's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said what his wife wanted to hear the most: "Don't worry, neither the boss nor I have suffered!" It will take at least fifteen years before we can be arraigned, and now we are in custody, and no one embarrass us. ”

"Then ......" Mrs. Wang took her father-in-law's hand through the door of the prison: "Do you want me to contact my relatives, find a few people who can speak, and jointly write to the saint, and see if I can protect you and the boss." ”

"Don't! No! Wang Shangshu waved his hand and rejected his wife's proposal. He is not in prison to attract the attention of King Anping, how can Dingyuan Gong and others in the shadows act well!! It is estimated that the team of scouts who followed King Anping Liangcao is also coming back, and after so long, it is time to find out the situation. Now the situation is so delicate, if he goes out, there may not be any variables.

"Then be careful yourself." His wife refused to be rescued, and Mrs. Wang didn't say anything. She turned her eyes to look at her eldest son, who was detained with her husband, and earnestly entrusted: "Boss, take care of your father, I will come back in two days, tell me if you are missing, I will send it." ”

"Mother, don't come!" Wang Shilang leaned over and took Mrs. Wang's hand: "My father and I are fine!" Yu'er and Xiu'er will leave it to you, please take care of it. Help me tell Yu'er to study hard and don't think about anything......"

"Don't worry! Feel relieved! Mrs. Wang's eyes were a little red, she patted her son's hand, and said babblingly: "Yu'er and Xiu'er are very sensible, don't worry!" We're all fine......"

"Madame, go back! Don't come back during this time! Wang Shangshu said with a serious expression: "Recently, you and Yu'er and Xiu'er don't go out alone, it's best to stay at home, change rooms at night, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, I hope you are all safe." ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded vigorously. She took out a roll of silver from her bosom and handed it to her eldest son: "Don't worry, I'll leave now, take these things, you stay here, there is a place to make money." ”

"Don't worry! We're fine! Be careful. Wang Shangshu stared at his wife tightly, with a trace of worry and melancholy on his face: "Let's go!" Don't delay......"

It wasn't until Mrs. Wang's figure completely disappeared outside the prison gate that Wang Shangshu and Wang Shilang withdrew their gazes.

"Daddy," Wang Shilang's face showed a sad expression, "Are they really going to do it to their mothers and children?" ”

"It's hard to say!" Wang Shangshu sighed: "What they want is the whereabouts of the real military salary, if they can't get it from us, it is not ruled out that they will use some threats......
