The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Although there was no disturbance at the prison gate, there were always officials coming and going on their business. Considering that her father worked in the Dali Temple, Sun Ruhui did not want the news that the old lady had made a scene here to spread, which would bring shame to her and her father.

Seeing that the old lady was about to burst into anger and curse, Sun Ruhui quickly interrupted her.

"It would be good if the master could pass on a message. Please, sir, go and pass on a message for us!"

The jailer glanced at her and snorted.

"You are quite sensible."

After saying this, he called another person to guard here for him, and turned around and walked towards the prison, ignoring the old lady who was staring at him.

Hua Jingqian's crime was serious, and the jailer didn't dare to communicate with him too much, so he was released after just a short while.

"The people inside told you two not to worry about him. They also said that he missed his daughter very much, and asked you to send someone to check on his daughter."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then understood what Hua Jingqian meant.

Hua Fuying is now married to Wu Ze. Now that her father-in-law is in trouble, Wu Ze and his son should think of ways to help.

After understanding Hua Jingqian's meaning, the old lady immediately took her people and went directly to the Shangshu Mansion.

When they arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, the old lady stated her identity and was about to go inside, but she was stopped by the steward.

"Madam, today is an unfortunate day. Concubine Hua has been ill for several days and is not suitable for seeing guests. Please go back."

Why did he get sick at this time instead of earlier? Hua Fuying is so unlucky!

The old lady cursed in her heart, then changed her words:

"It's okay if I don't meet her, but what about my grandson-in-law? I want to meet my grandson-in-law and my relative, the Shangshu."

The grandmother of a concubine dares to call the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion her grandson-in-law. She really doesn't know her own identity.

The steward's eyes were full of contempt, and he was not as polite as before. He said bluntly:

"My master and eldest son have important matters to attend to. They don't have time to see you. Please leave."

Seeing the housekeeper look down on her completely, what else could the old lady not understand?

It was obvious that the Shangshu Mansion saw that Hua Jingqian was in trouble and was afraid of being implicated, so they didn't want to see me. Maybe even the news that Hua Fuying was sick was fake.

For Hua Jingqian, she must enter the Shangshu Mansion today. Anyway, saving her son is the most important thing now, and her status and face don't matter.

The old lady glared and immediately started to act like a spoiled brat:

"I came to see my granddaughter, why won't you let me in? Has my granddaughter forgotten her parents' home after she got married and married into a wealthy family?"

The old lady became more and more excited and began to shout:

"Hey, everyone, come and look! This ungrateful, ungrateful girl, we worked so hard to raise her, but she just ignored her family after she got married! My daughter is so miserable, raising such an ungrateful daughter, I should have raised a dog instead!"

The old lady's cries to the heavens without caring about her image really attracted many passers-by to stop, watch and point.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the butler secretly thought that this was not good. The Shangshu Mansion could not afford to lose face like this!

The housekeeper quickly sent someone into the yard to inform the master, and soon the servant came back and whispered a few words in the housekeeper's ear.

The housekeeper glanced at the old lady impatiently and said:

"Come in with me."

After entering, the housekeeper led people directly to Hua Fuying's yard.

As the old lady expected, Hua Fuying was not sick at all, which made the old lady very dissatisfied. She didn't even respond to Hua Fuying's greetings.

"Humph, aren't you sick? I think you're doing fine!"

Hua Fuying lowered her eyebrows and smiled pleasantly:

"I did catch a cold a few days ago. The young master took pity on me and let me recuperate for a few more days."

This sentence reminded the old lady Hua Fuying of her current status. Wu Ze was not someone she could afford to offend.

The old lady was choked by these words and immediately gave up pursuing the matter that she avoided.

"Qian'er was thinking about you a lot, so I came to see you. Now that you are fine, you should also worry about your father's affairs. Don't just think about yourself. Go to your father-in-law more often and ask him to get up early and plead with the emperor to release your father."

Hua Fuying obediently agreed, saying that she would certainly not stand idly by and watch her father suffer.

After finishing her business, the old lady did not stay long.

Before leaving, she wanted to meet Shangshu Wu and his son, and personally ask them to plead for the emperor, but the servants in the Shangshu's mansion said that their master was busy and would not let her go near his room.

The old lady had no choice but to give up.

Hua Fuying, who was "advised" by the old lady, did not take her words to heart. At this moment, Minister Wu wished that Wu Ze would divorce her in order to sever his relationship with the Hua family. How could he possibly plead for Hua Jingqian?

Hua Jingqian asked the old lady to come and see him, obviously wanting him to find Ye Chuji and tell him that the things Hua Jingqian hid were very important to him, and asked him to come forward to protect Hua Jingqian.

Considering that Hua Jingqian's return to Beijing was at the center of public opinion, Hua Fuying did not rush to take action immediately.

The most important thing is to protect yourself first, so Hua Jingqian will just let him stay in jail for a few days.

I thought that after I went to find Hua Fuying, Hua Jingqian would be released soon with the help of the Shangshu Mansion, but I didn't expect that there was no movement until the third day.

During that period, the old lady visited several times, and each time she stuffed a handful of jewelry into the jailer's hands, asking him to go in and help see if Hua Jingqian had anything to say.

After waiting for a few days, the old lady could no longer sit still.

"Qian'er is also the master's son. After such a big incident, he should find a way to rescue Qian'er!"

Thinking of this, the old lady immediately got on the carriage and went to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Hua Rongyu and his son were not there during the day, so when the old lady arrived, she saw Hua Zhukong and Hua Wuke.

As soon as they met, they began to cry and wail:

"Master, you must find a way to save Qian'er as soon as possible. That prison is not a place for my Qian'er to stay."

Ever since she found out about the ugly things Hua Jingqian had done, Hua Zhukong had already treated as if she didn't have this son at all.

"He has committed a crime, so he should go to jail. I have retired from the army and cannot take care of this matter."

"He is your son! How can you just stand by and watch him die!"

Seeing that the old lady was trying to force Grandfather to come forward, Hua Wu Ke said:

"Grandfather has long stopped caring about the affairs of the court, and Second Uncle should have thought that this day would come when he dared to sell private salt. Why do you want Grandfather to pay for Second Uncle's mistakes now?"

The old lady glared and said dissatisfiedly:

"Even if the master retires, the military equipment from the past is still there. Why not use it to exchange for Qian'er's life?"

"And you, Hua Wuke, are now a princess after all. When you saw your second uncle was in trouble, you didn't even bother to go to the palace to beg for mercy!"
