Yumei came out of Fan's mansion, she was like a walking corpse, and from time to time there were a large number of officers and soldiers on the street, and she was pushed to the corner of the street by a group of people, and she came back to her senses.

Someone next to him whispered, and a thin man with a long beard sighed: "Hey, I don't know when this one will be going to be troubled!" ”

The man next to him was a little younger: "I heard that Gu Thief deliberately created this trumped-up crime in order to eliminate dissidents!" ”

"yes, hey, I don't know how many people have suffered."

"The state-owned Gu thief, the world is difficult to peace!"

Gu thief? Yumi listened for a while and heard the name. But my father never talked about politics at home, and she spent half of her time in the suburbs, so she didn't know him.

She muttered a few words in her heart, thinking that it had something to do with her father, and leaned over.

I heard the two men continue: "What do you call this! Once the prime minister was lawless, killing innocents indiscriminately every day, and the emperor was not in charge. ”

"If you want me to say, it's not certain who the real emperor is!"

"Yes, it's just that I pity these officials."

"Who says it's not, I heard that this time, there were seventeen or eighteen people arrested."

"Yes, big officials and small officials, it is said that none of those who provoked the prime minister were spared."

Prime Minister? Yes! Yesterday the officers and soldiers said that he was him!

Yumei now understands that her father must have provoked the prime minister of the dynasty, and she suffered this grievance for no reason, listening to the conversation between the two, I think there is little hope.

Thinking like this, I became more and more worried, and rushed back to my house.

When she entered the door, her aunt was waiting in the front hall, and I saw her take a sip of tea, but I don't know whether it was hot or bitter, and she took two sips and spit it on the handkerchief.

glanced at Yu Mei and said slowly: "General Li has been here." ”

Yumi hurriedly sat down and asked, "What did he say?" ”

"It's said that we provoked Xiangye, but ...... But your father is just a sesame little official, where can you provoke Xiangye. ”

said that he was about to cry again, but suddenly stopped again, stared at Yumei, and said hatefully: "It's you!" I remember, it's you! It was you who collided with Mrs. Xiangye in Buzhuang that day! The more he talked, the more certain he became, and suddenly got up and slapped Yumei twice.

Yumei was unexpected, and her cheeks were suddenly red.

When my aunt saw it, she didn't know if she was scared and didn't dare to fight anymore or if she was distressed and couldn't bear to beat again, but she cried loudly, crying and scolding: "Master, why are you so miserable!" actually raised such a troubled daughter! ”

Since childhood, even his father and master have never done anything to him, and he was slapped by his aunt in this situation, Yumei had mixed feelings in her heart, and wanted to refute, but she didn't know where to start.

But when Xiaoyu saw it, she couldn't get angry, so she rushed over and argued with her aunt: "How dare my aunt beat Miss!" But I forgot my identity! Moreover, if you hit it, you will fight it, and you should make amends! Why are you still talking nonsense! How can the affairs of the old man's officialdom be related to the young lady! Even if the young lady annoys Mrs. Xiangye, it is also a private matter of the women, and it is just a matter of asking people to do their hands and feet, how can it affect the master?! Auntie, if you are bullied by your juniors, can you still let the master send officers and soldiers to give you anger? Besides, so many old men in the capital have been arrested, is it all related to the fact that the young lady annoyed Mrs. Xiangye! ”

When she made this call, her aunt had nowhere to refute, but when she was hit by someone like this, her aunt couldn't be angry anyway, so she simply counted the fire that she had nowhere to vent in the past two days on her head. pulled Xiaoyu over, slapped a few times in succession, and scolded while beating: "Okay, I'm my aunt, I can't beat Miss, then I can beat you, see if I don't kill you, a slut who is not big or small, today!" ”

Yumei originally had some respect for her aunt, but she was also annoyed by today's trouble, so she reached out and grabbed her aunt's hand, was ruthless, and shouted: "Auntie! That's enough! ”

This drink is extremely unusual, quite like the eldest lady in charge, and the aunt was also stunned, and then stopped timidly.

Yumei picked up Xiaoyu and said to her aunt: "Now is not the time for infighting, let's think of a way to save Daddy!" ”

The aunt cried again: "What else can be done? What else do you say? If you offend the Prime Minister, you will offend the emperor! Who would dare to save? Who dares to save! ”

Yumei lowered her eyelids, thought for a while, and said slowly: "There will be a way." I don't know if I'm comforting my aunt or myself.

However, Yumei ran around for more than ten days in a row, all in vain.

On the other side, the imperial court has made a decision, and Master Xin is the first batch of prisoners to be sent to the execution ground. Not only that, but the imperial court sent officers and soldiers again, saying that Master Xin was corrupt and wanted to track down the dirty silver. But in fact, it was no different from raiding the house, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers searched the house indiscriminately, took away all the valuable things in the house, and smashed a lot of things.

The entire courtyard is even more dilapidated than the ruined temple outside the city.

On this day, Yumi returned home and saw this scene.

I thought that I had been used to seeing tragic things in the world in the past few days, but I didn't want to, there was no bottom line, there was an even worse side, and the spirit of fighting for many days collapsed at this moment, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "What's going on?" ”

The aunt sat on the ground with the child in her arms, and when she saw her coming back, she stumbled over and hurriedly asked her, "How is it, is there any way to save the master?" I heard ......" Then she began to cry: "Master...... Already...... Sentenced to death......"

Hearing her say this, Yumei couldn't hold it anymore, and tears flowed down like flowing water. She shook her head, like a doll that had lost her soul, and swayed back to her room.

There is no endless road, and the turning point of things appeared at this time.

A strange little guy entered the courtyard of Xinfu and shouted, "Who is your aunt?" ”

Although the aunt was scared and confused, she still walked over, and the little maid saw her and said, "My wife told you to go!" ”

"Dare to ask, who is your wife?"

"Mrs. Xiangye!"

When my aunt heard this, she was frightened and couldn't help but retreat: "This ...... This...... Mrs. Xiangye is looking for a slave family, but she can ...... But what's the matter? ”

The little servant snorted: "Madame is looking for you, naturally it's a good thing, do you still want to save your master?" Come with me if you want! ”

As soon as the aunt heard that the old man was saved, she was busy and followed the little maid.

When he returned home, he threw Xiao Yu a piece of silver, and ordered: "Go to the street and buy some good wine and good food to prepare, and call the young lady out for dinner in a while, I have something to say to her." ”

Xiaoyu was happy to see her, and she knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and she was busy.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yumei was dragged out of the room by Xiaoyu, but when she arrived in the hall, she saw a table of good wine and food, she was stunned for a while, and saw her aunt smiling all over her face, guessing that things had taken a turn for the better, and she hurriedly grabbed her aunt and asked: "Is this ...... Could it be that Daddy was saved?! ”

The aunt beckoned her to sit down, poured her wine and vegetables, and flattered her vigorously: "Yes, yes, your father is saved, don't worry about it, you have been running around for the past few days, and you haven't eaten well or rested, hurry up and eat some, ah." ”

At noon, I thought I had reached a dead end, but I didn't want two hours later, the willows and flowers were bright, Yumei was very happy, where could I care about eating and drinking, and hurriedly asked the truth of the matter: "Auntie, tell me quickly, who is it, who is willing to save Daddy?" ”

"Who else? Mrs. Xiangye. After a pause, he said: "I asked you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion a long time ago, but you didn't go, what happened to the result?" It's not like you have to rely on Mrs. Xiangye! ”

"Mrs. Xiangye?" Yumei thought about it again and again, but she couldn't figure it out, frowned and asked, "How could she save her father?" Unless......" Yumei looked directly at her aunt and asked, "Auntie, you tell the truth, what did you promise her?" ”

The aunt was already weak-hearted, and when she was stared at by this, she was cowardly, and replied in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just ...... It was Mrs. Xiangye who said that she wanted to ...... Marry you into the Prime Minister's Mansion and be a ...... Be a concubine. ”

"What!" Yumei shook her head in disbelief, and only said a sentence in a half-loud voice: "Auntie, you know, I have a marriage contract!" ”

As soon as the aunt, who was still weak, heard the word marriage contract, she became angry and said angrily: "Marriage contract? Seeing that it's the wedding date, where is your fiancé? It's been more than ten days since the Xin family had an accident, has he ever appeared? Mei! Don't be stupid, Xinfu is defeated, he doesn't want you anymore! ”

These words were poking at Yumei's sore spot, and she was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

My aunt took the opportunity to persuade: "Xiaomei, adversity sees people's hearts, what do you still think about such a man?" Besides, marrying Xiangye can't be begged by any woman, so why bother? ”

How could Yumi not know that she had no other choice. But she couldn't nod her head, just sat down in her chair, silently wept, and kept muttering: "Why? Why me? ”

The aunt flattered again: "It was the aunt who was wrong before, the aunt blamed you, your father has your daughter, it is a great blessing, in the future, you marry into the Xiangye Mansion, our Xin family will rely on you, Xiaomei, you must protect our family!" ”

For a while, Yu Mei had lost her bearings, and only instinctively shook her head: "No...... No...... Not ......"

When the aunt saw that she was so stubborn and lost her patience, she became angry: "Okay! You're so ruthless! I don't even want your father's life! ”

Father......

Yes, as long as you can save your father, let alone get married, even if you want your own life, can't you? Why is it really time for me to hesitate so much! Is......

It's so unfilial!

Thinking like this, she relentlessly and said slowly: "Okay, I promise to get married!" Did they say when they would let Daddy out? ”

The aunt smiled happily and nodded again and again: "Okay, it's good if you agree." Mrs. Xiangye said that as long as you get married, your father will be able to go home immediately, and he can be reinstated! ”

Yumei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay." Then she said, "But I also have one condition, you go and tell them, I will wait for my father to come out first, and I want my father to send me to marry himself." ”

My aunt said in her heart, oh, auntie, how can we be qualified to talk about the conditions. But looking at Yu Mei's resolute face, and there was also a hidden worry in her heart, she was afraid that she would not be willing to let go of her at that time. Then he changed his words and said: "Okay, Ming'er fought for this life, and I will also go and tell you about it!" ”
