Xiahou Lin was ready to be held accountable by His Majesty, but when he thought that he would affect his family for his own reasons, he felt unpleasant, and now he saw his wife and daughter who should be good at home appear in prison, lest he would be reprimanded if His Majesty knew that he had gone out of the way because of his visit.

"This is not the place you should be, go back quickly. Xiahou Lin straightened his face and scolded the two of them repeatedly.

"Sir. Wang couldn't help but sob.

"Father, mother is worried that you are sick at home, and finally the prince found an opportunity to come in, why did my father ask us to go out. Xiahou Jing couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Xiahou Lin glanced at the Wang family at this time, and saw that her face was haggard but she had lost a lot of weight, and said in a soft heart: "Let you also work hard." ”

Wang saw Xiahou Lin like this, and immediately wiped his tears and said, "The concubine is fine, but I'm just worried about the master." ”

"Oh, I brought some food for the master, and we were talking while the master was eating. ”

Xiahou Jing hurriedly opened the food box in his hand and brought out the delicacies one by one.

Xiahou Lin has not eaten the food at home for a while, and the white porridge that is as clear as water every day in the prison has long been boring to eat with the hard steamed buns.

"Master, slow down, eat slowly, master. Wang looked sad, and hurriedly handed over a glass of water for Xiahou Lin to take a sip.

After the meal, the three of them whispered again, and Wang couldn't wait to ask helplessly: "Master, why did you go to prison, Your Majesty said that it was because of the lost batch of military funds, what is going on......

"Alas...... It's all because of my negligence, and that's why there was a mistake. At the mention of this, Xiahou Lin looked embarrassed.

"Father, is there anyone who is suspicious?" asked Xiahou Jing.

Wang also raised his face and stared at Xiahou Lin, eager to have an answer.

"The ...... of the Ministry of War"

"Father, did he suspect that he had colluded with outsiders to get you to prison, but we had no grievances with him, why did we do this?" asked Xiahou Jing with a look of surprise on her face.

Xiahou Lin nodded: "If not, my father can't figure out who can have such great ability to secretly transport military assets out from under everyone's noses." ”

When Wang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Since the master has any doubts, why didn't you inform Your Majesty of this matter?"

"Madame doesn't know, now I'm in a cage, and it's even more groundless and just suspicious, if you say it rashly, don't say it, and let them bite back, there will be no future. Xiahou Lin shook his head.

"Then we still can't do anything?" Wang immediately cried when he heard this: "If this continues, when will the master go out." ”

Xiahou Lin patted Wang's shoulder and comforted his old wife silently: "Madam, don't worry, you will inform Shuang'er of this matter when you go out, and Shuang'er will do it herself." ”

Seeing that the lord has now entrusted his net worth and life to the eldest lady, Wang's heart is at a loss, I don't know whether to be happy or worried, the eldest lady is indeed smart and capable, and now marrying the prince is even more noble, if the eldest lady comes forward with the help of the prince's power, maybe the lord can get out of the house as soon as possible.

Wang didn't cry anymore and nodded: "I will definitely go out to meet the princess and inform her of this." ”

As he spoke, the jailer came and knocked on the cell door and said in a low voice, "It's time." ”

"Master, you can take good care of yourself, and Jing'er and I will come over to visit in a while. Wang was reluctant.

Xiahou Lin waved his hand: "It's okay, don't come in, the prison is filthy, this is not a place for you to come." ”

After speaking, he told Xiahou Jing: "Take good care of your mother, I will go out to reunite with the family." ”

"Father. Xiahou Jing's eyes were also red.

"Let's go, let's go. ”

The jailer outside the door urged a few more times, and the two of them turned around and left in three steps.

The carriage drove straight to Prince Alcohol's mansion, and Xiahou Shuang heard that someone was coming to greet him.

"Princess. "Wang saw Xiahou Shuang and wanted to salute.

"Second aunt, what are you doing? Sit down and talk. Xiahou Shuang saw that Wang's face was not good, and his walking qi was weak and unstable, and he was shocked, and the second aunt looked very sick.

"Didn't you go to visit the second uncle, did you see anyone?" asked Xiahou Shuang towards Xiahou Jing.

Xiahou Jing nodded: "I saw my father, everything is fine, but my father told me ......"

Saying that, Xiahou Jing looked around, Xiahou Shuang understood in her heart, and said to the people who served around her: "You guys stand down and go find the prince." ”

Waiting for everyone to retreat, Xiahou Jing said at this time: "My father told me and my mother that he suspected that Wang Shaoyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, colluded with outsiders to make the loss of military funds. ”

"Second Uncle really said that?" Xiahou Shuang was shocked, Wang Shaoyuan is Wang Shuwan's father and Tang Juntong's father-in-law, the Tang family has the support of the Prince's Mansion behind him, if it is him, I'm afraid things will be much more complicated.

Smuggling military funds is a big deal, if it happens, maybe it will be beheaded, if it is really this person, then what is the picture?

Xiahou Shuang pondered hard and had no result, just when Xiao Xinrong arrived, several people informed Xiao Xinrong of the matter, Xiao Xinrong frowned when he heard it, this matter is serious, and now his father's health is not as good as day by day, in order to avoid a storm, it is necessary to find out about this matter as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, with this clue, I will send someone to investigate, and send it to the Hou Mansion in time when there is news. ”

"The concubine is here, thank you to the prince. After speaking, Wang got up and saluted Xiao Xinrong.

"The second aunt must not be like this. Xiao Xinrong hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for Xiahou Shuang to pick him up.

"I married Shuang'er, we are a family, this matter is obviously someone coming to the Hou Mansion, and it is our duty to find out about this matter. Xiao Xinrong said categorically.

Wang sighed in his heart, Xiao Xinrong, who is the prince, didn't have to be like this, and it wasn't because he married the eldest lady that he would treat the eldest lady's family as his own family, and I don't know if Jing'er would also be loved by the five princes in the future.

Xiahou Jing didn't know that her mother was still feeling emotion at this time, but she felt grateful in her heart, for her father's affairs, the eldest sister and the prince worked hard, and she also said at the moment: "Although it is a family, the prince's status is noble, and there is a prince these days." ”

"Okay, the second sister doesn't have to be so polite, I'll let you and the second aunt go back to rest quickly." Xiahou Shuang saw that Wang's face was pale and crumbling, obviously because he had worked too hard, so he was physically exhausted.

When Xiahou Jing saw her mother's appearance and knew that it was not polite, she nodded hurriedly and took the Wang family back to the house.

After listening to Xiahou Jing's words, the old lady nodded and sighed: "If your father suspects that it is true, I am afraid that the sky in this court will change again." ”

"How's your mother?"

"I've taken the medicine and rested. ”

"You take good care of your mother, let your third uncle and eldest brother do the things outside, your father is like this now, your mother can't have anything happening, I still have to watch our family reunite." The old lady was visibly tired when she said this.
