The second master was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and Ye Ji and his three sisters in the second room had no one to ask for, and they were so anxious that they wanted to go crazy.

Yeats said cautiously, "Why don't we go and ask the eldest uncle?" He may have a way. ”

"What can he do? He doesn't even have an official position! "Ye Rong doesn't want to ask for help from the bottom of her heart, he is Ye Qian's father, and begging him is as awkward as begging Ye Qian.

Ye Fu was a little tempted, "Although he doesn't have an official position, he is also a marquis, and he has been a household servant before, so he still has some connections, why don't you try it?" That being said, she didn't have much hope in her heart, who let the criminal department have already sentenced the autumn queen to be beheaded, if the prince was willing to reach out and take care of it before, it might still be useful. Thinking of the prince, Ye Fu was even more chilled, he had been with him for a year, but he refused to help his father, so he watched the criminal department sentence his father to death.

Ye Fu secretly complained that the prince refused to help, but he didn't know that it was with the prince's instructions that Ye Chengxun was convicted of death so quickly.

Ye Ji pondered for a moment, "It's okay, as long as there is a glimmer of hope now, we can't let it go, go, go to Siyuan Hall." "There is no hope for the prince and the third uncle, he really has no one to ask for.

Ji Pinghou accompanied Ye Qian to deal with the affairs of the house in the morning, and then stayed in Siyuan Hall to accompany his wife most of the time. In March, when the deer doctor was supporting the pulse, Meng was only one month pregnant, and now it is four months old, and the lower abdomen has been slightly bulging, and Meng does not need to recuperate, and he takes a walk every day in the company of Ji Pinghou.

Meng Shi leaned on the soft couch and ate the sour apricots handed over by Ji Pinghou, this apricot was extremely sour, Ji Pinghou bit it once, and almost soured his teeth, but Meng Shi felt just right to eat it.

Ji Pinghou gently touched her stomach and said with a smile: "This little guy, why is he so jealous?" ”

Meng Shi glanced at him, "Don't talk about children, she can hear it, girls are cautious, when they hear you say that she is not close to you when she is born." Ji Pinghou insisted that this belly was a daughter, and Meng Shi followed him.

Ji Ping waited for a while, and changed his words: "The sour little girls are all beautiful, our one must be good-looking, as beautiful and cute as Qianqian." He missed Qianqian's childhood, and only hoped that Meng Shi would have another little girl come out, and this time he could accompany her to grow up and see how cute this beautiful little girl was from two to seven years old.

Meng Shi snorted, "I love sweets another day, and you want to say that the little girl who loves sweets is beautiful?" "Her tastes are always changing, one moment sour, the other sweet.

Ji Ping Hou Zhengse said: "No matter what you like to eat, our little girl is beautiful." As long as you are born, you must be as beautiful as Ah Jin. ”

The corners of Meng's mouth smiled, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at him.

Ji Pinghou was moved for a while, and leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ah Jin, let's ...... tonight"

The two were talking and laughing, and Lianxiang stood outside the door to report: "The second young master came with the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl, saying that he wanted to see the Hou Ye." ”

Ji Ping didn't raise his head, "No, let them go back." "You don't have to think about it to know what they are doing, Ye Chengxun's imprisonment was arranged by him and King Yu, how could he be rescued? He teamed up with the old lady and harmed his family of four one by one, how could he spare them?

Lian Xiang went lightly, and came back after a while, "The second young master and the three girls knelt outside the gate of Siyuan Hall. In addition, the mother-in-law who was guarding the yard of the second wife went back and forth, saying that the second wife was making a fuss and wanted to come out. ”

Ji Pinghou snorted coldly, "They like to kneel, just kneel, as for the Qi family, let her stay at ease, when the time comes, she will naturally come out." ”

Meng Shi frowned, "Let them go back and kneel outside the courtyard gate, what's the matter?" ”

"You can't die if you kneel, I think you couldn't get up after lying down for seven years." Thinking of his wife's sin, Ji Pinghou felt uncomfortable.

Ye Ji knelt for an hour with his three younger sisters, and Siyuantang didn't see anyone come out.

There were no trees planted at the gate of the courtyard, and a few people knelt under the sun, Ye Fu and Ye Zhi were fine, but Ye Rong couldn't kneel, "Second brother, the eldest uncle obviously wants to see death and not save him, it's useless for us to beg him, or go back?" Her knees were sore, and her face was red from the sun, these were still secondary, and the most terrifying thing was that there were people who passed by occasionally, even if they didn't point a finger, they kept peeking at them, Ye Rong felt that her face was lost today.

"Wait." Ye Ji said coldly. If he had another way, he would naturally not be wasted here, but now Ji Pinghou is the only hope.

Ye Rong had never knelt for such a long time, and gradually she couldn't kneel anymore, her body was tilted to the side, barely supporting herself with her hands.

was struggling, Ye Qian came over. She was wearing a pale green cool blue water silk skirt, and Bai Zhen held an umbrella over her head, slowly walking past everyone.

Her downcast and embarrassing appearance was seen by Ye Qian! Ye Rong was shocked and anxious, she jumped up suddenly, she knelt for too long, her knees were sore, she was dizzy when she jumped up, she was unsteady on her feet, she fell to the ground, and fell into the mud.

Ye Qian didn't look at her, and went straight into the courtyard of Siyuan Hall.

Ye Rong felt that she was being ridiculed, and shouted hissedly: "Ye Qian, don't be complacent, sooner or later, one day - woo." ”

Ye Fu covered her mouth and glared at her fiercely, "You give me a quieter!" "Her own sister only loses her temper all day long, and it is useless, so she is not as obedient as Yeats.

They made a fuss, Ji Pinghou came out, he didn't plan to pay attention to them, he couldn't stand his knees and left naturally, but they quarreled here, which affected his wife's mood.

"Get up." Ji Pinghou said in a deep voice: "I am idle at home now, although I have the name of a marquis, I have no real power, and I can't help you." Besides, the past is always counted in my heart, right? ”

Ye Ji's heart jumped, he had guessed what his father had done, but he couldn't admit it. As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw Ji Pinghou glance at him meaningfully, "Don't worry, no matter what your parents have done, you are still innocent, as long as you are safe, I will naturally not embarrass you." Get up and go back. ”

Ji Pinghou turned around and went back to the main house, Ye Ji sat on the ground paralyzed, cold, what his father did, he didn't hide it from Master Hou at all! He knows everything, but he hasn't shown it, it's good if he doesn't kill them all, how can he save his father again?

Ye Ji stiffly got up from the ground and walked away without looking back.

Ye Fu and Yeats looked at each other, what did Hou Ye mean by "what did your parents do"? Ye Rong shouted angrily: "Why did the second brother take care of himself, I won't kneel anymore!" ”

A few people quickly dispersed, and Siyuantang regained its calm.

No matter who the four brothers and sisters in the second room begged again, they never came to Siyuan Hall again anyway. The old lady was getting thinner and thinner, but she couldn't move on the bed, and there was nothing she could do.

The third old man, Ye Chengshu, wanted to save him, after all, he was a brother, and his brother was always a helper, but he couldn't go against King Rui's will, without King Rui and his father-in-law, it would be impossible for him to rescue Ye Chengxun on his own.

Qi's family was noisy every day, and the two mothers-in-law who guarded her only ignored her. Seeing that it was October, and the day when Ye Chengxun asked for the beheading was getting closer and closer, the Qi family stopped making noise, and begged the mother-in-law to deliver a letter to the Meng family, saying that she was going to see the second master for the last time.

Meng Shi is about to give birth in two months, her belly is already very big, she has difficulty moving, except for the necessary daily walks, that is, leaning on the soft couch, asking about the affairs of the house, flipping through the account book, or reading books without anything. After listening to the letter sent by the mother-in-law, I thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Qi finally came out of the small courtyard, she returned to the courtyard where she used to live, changed into clean new clothes, and took the four brothers and sisters in the second room to the prison of the Criminal Department.

The prison was dimly lit and smelled terrible. Ye Rong covered her nose tightly with a handkerchief, so she couldn't help but spit it out.

Qi Shi was unconscious, and walked towards the depths under the leadership of the jailer.

"Well, this is it." The jailer knocked on the iron railing, "Hey, someone has come to see you." With that, he stood aside, didn't go far, left a dozen steps and stood still, turned to look at them.

The floor of the cell was covered with straw, and there was a person curled up on it, with gray hair and shabby clothes, he slowly raised his head, and his dirty beard covered half of his face, and it took a long time for the Qi family to recognize it, this was the second old man Ye Chengxun.

Seeing Qi and the four children, Ye Chengxun's cloudy and scattered eyes finally had some brilliance, he struggled to get up, and staggered to the fence, "You, you are finally here." Two tears slid down his cheeks, leaving two clear marks on his dirty face. After such a long time, he had already recognized the reality, knew that he was calculated by the Hou Ye, and knew that he had ruined the prince's big business, and it was impossible for him to live. He only wanted to see his children again before he died.

"Sir!" Qi grabbed his hand holding on the railing, whimpered and cried, no matter how much she complained about Ye Chengxun, she never wanted him to die, she always looked forward to coming out of the courtyard, and she was still his wife.

"Father!" Ye Ji took a step forward and looked sadly at his father, who was in the past beautiful, but now he has become like this.

Ye Fu and Ye Zhi also came up, but Ye Rong quietly took half a step back, the smell on her father's body was so bad that she couldn't help but vomit.

Ye Chenghun looked at Qi Shi and sighed, "Don't cry, you and the four children are fine now, and they will be fine in the future." When I leave, you have to take care of a few children, supervise Brother Fu'er's studies, send Sister Fu to the East Palace smoothly, and find a good family for Sister Zhi and Sister Rong in two years. In the future, I will live in peace, and don't have any more incidents. He also understood that his harm was known to Hou Ye, but Hou Ye has not touched the Qi family and his four children until now, it is estimated that he will let them go, as long as they don't make trouble in the future, they can live peacefully.
