"Didn't say? What does she want to do? Doesn't she want to get out of prison?" The old lady only grasped the key points.

After a pause, he asked again: "Did you tell her that thing can be exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver?"

Shen Zhinian nodded in annoyance: "I said it. Mother, I'm afraid the amount of money is too much, so she refused..."

Looking at Mrs. Du's reaction, he knew that the amount of silver he mentioned was inappropriate.

But the words have been spoken and cannot be changed.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand a little.

"Oh, she wants to wait until she's released from jail and then sell it herself, right? Is she willing to put money before her life?"

"In short, she probably won't tell you easily. It seems that we can only go to Yue'er to ask first." Shen Zhinian's face was gloomy.

The old lady nodded: "That's all we can do."

Prince Kang's Mansion.

Shen Rongyue had been living a relatively peaceful life in the past few days.

Considering that she had once again saved her son in time, Princess Kang did not make things difficult for her.

Even Qin Yueze, because she confessed to him every day and took care of him wholeheartedly, did not bring up the past with her for a while.

But after only two or three days of peace, the news that her mother, Mrs. Du, had sent someone to poison her adopted daughter spread.

Princess Kang's expression changed immediately, and she said, "What kind of mother you have, what kind of daughter you have. Such a vicious person, her daughter will naturally not be any better."

She ordered people to carry Qin Yueze back to Zhulan Courtyard and no longer let her serve her.

She was confined to the hospital again and her situation was difficult...

She didn't understand why her mother did such a stupid thing.

Some things should be left to the servants to do.

Why would you get yourself involved?

The situation she had worked so hard to build up collapsed again.

Even freedom is lost again...

She was angry and anxious, but helpless.

"Shen! Shen!" A low shout came from outside the door.

When Mrs. Cheng heard the sound, she immediately moved to the crack of the door.

The face outside the crack of the door was that of Mrs. Zhu, the sweeper in the palace.

"Someone from the Shen family came and said they had something to say to Shen in person." Mrs. Zhu lowered her voice, but her face showed a hint of joy that she could not hide. She had earned money again.

Mrs. Cheng hurried back to the house and told Shen Rongyue.

Shen Rongyue frowned.

I guess it was because of his mother, Mrs. Du.

Why do I have to tell her in person about other things?

I was a little reluctant for a moment.

In this life, up to now, the Shen family has hardly helped her at all, and has instead been holding her back.

Shen Rongyue hesitated for a long time, but had to sneak out of the dog hole under the cover of Mrs. Zhu to meet the people from the Shen family.

Although the Shen family didn't help much, she was in a difficult situation at the moment. If anything happened, the Shen family was still her only way out.

After all, Mrs. Du was her biological mother, and she was responsible to her daughter.

She couldn't just go too far.

When they reached the corner gate, the hood of the visitor was lifted, and Shen Rongyue was surprised to find that the visitor was actually Old Lady Shen.

"Grandma, since you are here in person, why don't you go to the front yard?" Shen Rongyue asked.

If the old lady came in person and asked someone to inform her at the front gate, the palace would probably let her in to see her for the sake of face.

In that case, she wouldn't have to spend money and endure the humiliation of crawling through a dog hole...

"It's troublesome to go to the front yard, and it's not convenient to talk." The old lady said with a pout.

Shen Rongyue nodded slightly.

This is also true.

It is more upright to walk through the front yard.

But there had to be servants from the palace watching over it.

There are some things that cannot be said...

"I'm here today all about your mother's matter." The old lady looked at Shen Rongyue with a hint of anxiety on her face.

Shen Rongyue bit her lip.

It was just as she expected.

"Is mother doing well in prison?" she asked in a low voice.

The old lady shook her head with a sullen face: "Not so good. What good can there be in prison? Do you want to rescue your mother?"

Shen Rongyue looked embarrassed: "Of course I want to, but grandma, my granddaughter is now in the palace and has no choice... I can't even go out, let alone save my mother... To save her, I have to rely on my father and grandmother..."

"I won't make things difficult for you!" The old lady didn't want to say too much nonsense and interrupted Shen Rongyue directly.

"As long as you give me the yellow brocade box your mother gave you and the things inside, the Shen family will be able to save her."

As the old lady spoke, she stared at Shen Rongyue intently.

"Yellow brocade box? What yellow brocade box? My granddaughter has never seen it before." Shen Rongyue was confused.

"You really don't know? It's just a brocade box the size of a palm." The old lady still stared at Shen Rongyue, trying to figure out whether what she said was true or false.

Shen Rongyue shook her head: "Grandma, mother has never given her anything like this. What's in the brocade box?"

Seeing Shen Rongyue's face full of confusion and as if he knew nothing, and not like he was lying at all, the old lady looked disappointed.

It seems that the things are not with Shen Rongyue.

Wasted trip?

Not reconciled!

"There are nothing but some jewelry in there. The Shen family is already selling things to save your mother... Alas, it's a pity that it's far from enough... Yue'er, that's your biological mother. Even if you can't get out, you should at least get some money together." The old lady changed the subject.

Shen Rongyue bit her lip again.

She guessed it again.

What he said was looking for the brocade box and selling things, in the end, he was just asking her for money...

Never mind, she was prepared anyway.

She sighed softly and took out a silver note from her bosom.

"Grandma, my granddaughter is in a very difficult situation right now. Money is needed everywhere in the mansion. Even coming out to see you cost me half a penny... This is the maximum amount my granddaughter can take out..."

The old lady was secretly delighted.

Finally it was not a wasted trip.

But when he took the banknote, he saw that it was only fifty taels!

Immediately dissatisfied: "Fifty taels? How can it save your mother?"

Shen Rongyue's eyes immediately turned red: "Grandma, I have tried my best... The palace is not like the Shen family, the expenses are really high, I hope grandma will sympathize..."

As he spoke he began to sob and was about to cry.

"Forget it, let your father and I figure out a solution."

The old lady turned around and went back to the Shen family angrily.

As soon as he entered the house, he looked for Shen Zhinian.

"Zhi Nian, it looks like you still have to go to the prison. This thing is obviously not with Yue Er."

Shen Zhinian looked unhappy.

He really didn't want to go to prison again.

Thinking of the two times he visited Mrs. Du from prison, he felt a terrible headache.

But this can't be done by others.

It’s so difficult!

But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to go ahead.

The old lady was anxious because that thing was valuable.

But to him, the value of the thing was not the most important thing, otherwise he would not have given it to Du for safekeeping.

The most important thing is that that thing cannot fall into Shen Qingyin’s hands.

Otherwise, given her current status as the general's wife, her strength is extraordinary and she might find out something.

If it is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous...

Shen Zhinian called a servant who was sweeping the front yard into his room.

"Take off your clothes!"
