When Yu Ge heard in the study that someone had come to report that Mrs. Zhou had returned to her parents' house, he knew that it was for Zhou Hong's business. [No pop-ups. 】

Mrs. Zhou followed the maid ring in the backyard to the study in the front yard, and after entering the door, she respectfully kowtowed to the old Yu Pavilion and bowed, and looked up to see the old father's pale face and frosty hair, except for the bright eyes, the momentum of the body has not decreased, and he has grown so old.

When she met her parents a few years ago, the old couple of Yu Ge were not so old, and now when they look at Mrs. Yu, they are completely a drooping old woman, which makes people feel sad.

"I heard from my mother, my father has always been sick at home, has he invited a doctor to come and see me?" In order to save Zhou Hong, Mrs. Zhou didn't even bring Zhou Qi to the study in the front yard, leaving her with Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu summoned a group of granddaughters to accompany Zhou Qi, including her eldest cousin Yu Hongyan, who had already married Liu Han, and the wedding date was set for June this year. There are also second cousins Yu Hongyan who are engaged to Zhou Bin, as well as cousins such as Yu Hongyu.

Elder Yu Ge personally helped her up: "I can't save my life if I am too healed, I am dying, I just hope that you all live well." ”

It's good that he didn't mention this, but when he mentioned this, Mrs. Zhou's tears that had accumulated all the way suddenly welled up: "Father, you know all about Hong'er, right?" He...... The official did a good job, how could he be escorted to Beijing by order? ”

Yu Ge Lao's eyes were stunned at his daughter, and he didn't know how to explain it. The court is in turmoil, and even he takes refuge in the house, just to avoid getting involved in this muddy water, how can he explain it clearly to his daughter who never asks about political affairs.

"Hong'er...... At most, this time it will be a little suffering, or demoted, but there should be no worries about your life, you don't have to worry. ”

If Mrs. Zhou was struck by lightning, how could her son, who had a bright future in her eyes, come to this point?

"Father...... Can Father help Hong'er?! He's not a foolish kid, he must have been framed this time! ”

As a mother, most of them are short-standing, especially Mrs. Zhou, who has always been proud of Zhou Hong, and she can't accept this result.

Yu Ge is always bitter and can't say it. He has deep roots in the middle of the court, and on the surface he looks infinitely beautiful, but his disciples are the same as the same family, there are many townships, and the relationship is intertwined. And Zhou Hong's reform of the salt road really touched the interests of too many people, and even a few people in the Yu family wanted Zhou Hong to be pulled off the horse.

"It's not that my father didn't help Hong'er, but that what Hong'er did in Lianghuai offended too many people, even if my father tried his best to protect him, he might not be able to save it."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't believe Yu Ge's words at all: "How come? My father has been an official in the court for decades, who mentioned that Yu Ge didn't give his father a little thin face? If the father enters the palace to beg His Majesty, look at the father and the husband, His Majesty will also treat Hong'er a little bit leniently! She was almost demented, and there was only one thought in her mind, that is, she must try her best to rescue Zhou Hong.

Her eldest son, young and promising, has great military achievements, is a rare military wizard in the Great Wei, has received numerous awards from the imperial court, and how many ladies and wives in Mingzhou City praised her and complimented her on her godson. When she is praised, she always has to be modest: "Where can his little family deserve the praise of his wife, but he just follows her husband's experience!" But I didn't know in my heart that this was just a humble statement.

Her son, who deserves all the praise of this world, is her pride!

She couldn't let that pride shatter!

"Father, please save Hong'er! You can't just watch him fall into the mud! She threw herself down and fell to her knees at the feet of Yu Ge Lao.

Yu Ge Lao reached out to help her, but she stubbornly refused to get up.

"What are you doing here? If kneeling is useful, I will kneel in front of His Majesty for a few more hours for my father, and I am willing to rescue Hong'er! Elder Yu Ge sighed: "Why don't you understand? His Majesty's action this time was not out of his own heart, but Hong'er cut off other people's financial routes in Lianghuai, so this group of people had to work together to pull Hong'er down. Even His Majesty may not be willing to punish Hong'er, but he is just being coerced by his subordinates. The emperor is still like this, not to mention that the father is just a courtier, no matter how many officials are under the door, but everyone has selfish intentions, if they help Hong'er, they can't get along with their own purse, do you think...... Will they follow their father's command to help Hong'er? ”

Mrs. Zhou knelt on the ground stupidly, her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she was indescribably sad: "So, my Hong'er can really only be demoted this time?" ”

Yu Ge said in his heart: Degrading the official is probably the best ending.

But he didn't dare to stimulate Mrs. Zhou anymore, so he personally helped her up, and said: "For my father, let you go to your mother's courtyard, stay for the time being tonight, and I will send someone to inquire about Hong'er, and if there is a turnaround, I will tell you immediately." Don't worry too much, the Zhou family has been meritorious for generations, and it will not be cut down and exiled. ”

His words were like stabbing a knife in Mrs. Zhou's heart, she got up silently, wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief, and withdrew from Yu Ge's old study.

Since Zhou Qi was born, she has only been to the capital once, and when she was very young, Mrs. Zhou took her back to her parents' home to save her relatives, and she was very strange to her grandmother and cousins.

After Mrs. Zhou left, she cheered up to deal with it, but in fact she was anxious, and looked at the door from time to time, just hoping that Mrs. Zhou would come back quickly.

Yu Hongyan was concerned about Zhou Hong at the beginning, but later heard Mrs. Zhou's letter mentioning that she had ordered the Xiǎo Jiě of Mingzhou Guofu for her eldest son, and she was sad and obeyed
