Chapter 159: A Dark Year
Shen Ni understood now, it turned out that the problem was here.
She doesn't understand the things in the yamen, but her father-in-law is a fool! It shouldn't be implicated, right?
"Who can tell you clearly about the things in the yamen, when I come back this time, I just want to say hello to you and let your family prepare early."
"Well, then I know Dad." Shen Ni nodded silently and put this matter aside for the time being.
Shen Nidad didn't mention it again, after all, this kind of thing can't be solved by them, what the hell is going on, it can only be left to fate.
It's rare to see Daddy, Shen Ni didn't sleep all night, and chatted with the second elder for a night.
Before he knew it, it was already dawn, Shen Ni was worried about Wen Xiaolou, and said goodbye to his parents without even eating breakfast, and returned to Fengqi Village with Wen Xiaolou.
When I got home, my mother-in-law was just getting up and was about to cook.
When she saw that the two of them came back so early, her mother-in-law was naturally very surprised and asked her why she didn't stay for two more days.
Outside is not the place to speak, Shen Ni made a silent gesture and asked her mother-in-law to enter the house to speak.
"What are you doing, mysterious?" The mother-in-law was puzzled, and said that Shen Ni went out for a trip, why was she still nervous.
"Wen Ya, you take your sister outside to help me control the wind, I have something to say to our mother."
The stakes are very high, Shen Ni didn't want others to know, so he had to send the two Wen Ya sisters out, on the one hand, he was staring, and on the other hand, he didn't want them to hear, not because he didn't trust, but Wen Wan was young, and it was better to not know some words.
Looking at Shen Ni's appearance, her mother-in-law finally became nervous, and she had a premonition that something big would happen.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Mother, don't worry, listen to what I tell you."
After comforting her mother-in-law first, Shen Ni told her the rumors she heard from her father.
As soon as she heard Shen Ni say this, her mother-in-law's reaction was unprecedentedly strong, and there was even fear in her eyes.
"Mother, are you alright?" It was the first time for Shen Ni to see her mother-in-law with such an expression, and she couldn't help but ask with concern.
After a long time, the mother-in-law woke up from her stunnedness, grabbed Shen Ni's hand and said; "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and call your father back, be quick, this matter is too big, this matter is too big......"
"Mother, don't worry, is it really so serious?" Seeing her nervous appearance, Shen Ni also panicked, and said in her heart that it wouldn't be so serious, right?
The mother-in-law swallowed her spit and recalled to herself: "Daughter-in-law, you don't know how serious the disaster was twenty years ago, and all newborn babies were put to death.
That's not all, the imperial court issued a strict decree, but anyone who dares to hide the baby privately will be beheaded.
That year, the ground was full of yellow paper, corpses were everywhere, and there were seeping cries everywhere......
That year, I was pregnant for ten months, gave birth to my family's small building.
Your father couldn't bear to hand over Xiaolou, so he hid it in the cellar of his home, thinking that he could get through.
Who would have thought that there was a villain in the village, and he confessed to me for fear of being implicated.
Xiaolou's grandparents were beaten to death by the people in the yamen because of their resistance.
Your father and I fought to the death, but unfortunately the person was lonely, and the small building was still robbed by someone.
Finally, the rudeness of the court angered the people of the world, and countless people carried knives and forks to besiege the yamen and let them go.
The imperial court was also afraid of causing a mutiny, but in the end it made a compromise and released the children back.
Alas! After so long, I thought it was all over, but I didn't expect that this kind of worrying day would come again."
Thinking of the unbearable past, my mother-in-law was embarrassed and afraid.
