Dai Yuxin says

Chapter 164

He couldn't help grinning.

He thought of how beautiful Jia's mansion was when Jia Yuanchun was there, and how glamorous these people were. Now, in front of him, these people are like shrinking rats locked in a cage, all of them As if terrified.

Prince Zhongshun sat high on the chair of the grand master, admiring the group of women in front of him like a cat playing with a mouse.

Soon, the imperial guards who ransacked the house reported that several boxes of belongings hidden by the criminal Zhen's family were found in Mrs. Wang's house, and illegal notes for usury were found in Jia Lian's house, as well as many illegal forbidden items in the palace.

After hearing this, Prince Zhongshun happily stood up from the grand master's chair, sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to be so courageous."

Grasping the evidence, the licentious and loyal prince suddenly had an evil idea, wanting to humiliate the women of Jia's mansion, but he grinned ferociously, his eyes flashed like a beast, and he yelled at the Imperial Forest Army to pull down these women. Headgear, strip off their warm and beautiful clothes, and drive them to the yard to let the wind blow.

These fierce imperial guards were like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. When they rushed to the crowd of old and weak women and children, Jia Gui in Baochai's arms was cold and hungry, and burst into tears.

This rough and naive voice made Prince Zhongshun feel very familiar and kind to his ears.

He walked up to Baochai involuntarily, and asked with a ferocious smile, "This little bastard has a pretty loud voice." As he spoke, he stretched out his fat and fat paws, and took a look at Jia Gui's swaddling clothes.

Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he was stunned looking at Jia Gui.

He found that the child's forehead, eyebrows, especially the nose, and the pointed chin were exactly the same as his own.

Perhaps it was due to the nature of father and son, when this Jia Gui saw Prince Zhongshun, he stopped crying with a thud, and curled his small mouth, as if he was smiling.

Prince Zhongshun hurriedly took two steps back, and asked Baochai firmly, "How old is this child?"

Baochai replied in a weak voice, "Today is the child's full moon."

Prince Zhongshun didn't ask any more questions, and after a quick calculation in his mind, he made sure that this child was planted by himself.

It is true that the tiger does not eat the poison.Prince Zhongshun is very lecherous, has many women, but his heirs are not prosperous, so far he only has one son, and he is still an idiot, in his twenties, he talks so hard that people can't hear clearly, and he doesn't even know how to avoid people when he urinates.

When he saw the child in Baochai's arms, he was surprised, happy and at a loss.

However, he knew very well that the child in Baochai's arms was destined to have nothing to do with him.

He absolutely cannot recognize this child, otherwise his own reputation will be ruined, and if the emperor pursues it, the crime of perverting the law for personal gain will be serious.

He couldn't help touching his own neck, trying to harden his heart, strip Baochai mother and son out of the clothes, think about it, if this is the case, his son's life may be lost.

There is always a way out!Just when King Zhongshun was fighting fiercely, Prince Shui Che sent Prince Beijing here.

Prince Bei Jing came in and saw the chaotic scene in the room, he didn't bother to explain to Prince Zhongshun, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Everyone stop!"

"This?" Prince Zhongshun stared bull-eyed, and looked at Prince Beijing Jing puzzledly.

Prince Beijing saw that the Imperial Forest Army who was attacking the women of Jia's mansion stopped, glanced at Jia's mother who was lying on the ground in a semi-comatose state, and went to support her personally, saying: "Quick! Help the old lady into the room and upload it immediately." The doctor is here."

Hu Po, a mandarin duck with disheveled hair, supported Jia Mu and shouted loudly: "Old lady! Old lady!"

Wang Xifeng, with a sallow complexion, climbed up to Jia Mu and cried loudly, "Old Ancestor, wake up!"

Mother Jia slowly opened her eyes, looking at the people in the room with tears in her eyes.

Prince Bei Jing held her hand and said, "Old lady! Old lady!"

The first thing Jiamu saw was the crown on Prince Beijing's head, followed by the royal robe on his body. She sat tremblingly on the ground, wanting to kowtow to him.

Prince Bei Jing waved his hands and said, "Madam, please go inside and rest."

Mother Jia is worthy of being Gao Ming's wife. At such an age, she is not confused at all when encountering such a big event.

She understands that although Prince Beijing is a family friend with her family, the relationship has always been good.If there is no emperor's will, he would not dare to wade into this muddy water with ten courage.This must be to look at Daiyu's water-melting face, so that she won't make things difficult for herself.

She was supported to stand up, and tremblingly wanted to go forward to salute Prince Beijing.

Prince Beijing shook his hand again, looked at King Zhongshun's puzzled face, and explained with a smile: "The prince wants me to rush over here, so that people don't embarrass the old lady Jia, and don't insult the female family members of Jia's family."

"However, these are the family members of criminal officials. I was ordered by the emperor to ransack the house." Prince Zhongshun said unwillingly.

Prince Bei Jing smiled slightly and said, "This is not contradictory, didn't you confiscate the house?"

"The family members of these prisoners, I will take them away according to the usual practice, and imprison them in the Prison Temple." Prince Zhongshun felt that this was too cheap for Jia's mansion, and his prestige had not yet been shown.So, he uncompromisingly wanted to take the person in front of him away.

"No, when I came, the crown prince had already entered the palace to meet the emperor, presumably the emperor will have a decree in a while." Prince Beijing smiled kindly, his eyes glanced outside the door.

Sure enough, the emperor soon issued a new imperial decree, saying that Nian Jia Mu was old and the wife of a hero, and he would spare her, not to be prosecuted and punished, and allowed her to stay in Rongguo Mansion to live up to her old age .

It seems that the supplementary decree of Shui Jing was issued at the request of Prince Shui Che himself.

In fact, it is not the case, Shui Jing issued this supplementary decree because he was concerned about Daiyu's feelings.

Shui Jing considers that Jia's mother is Daiyu's direct grandmother after all, and they are related by blood. During the years when Daiyu was in Jia's mansion, Jia's mother still loved her very much.In the case of conflicting with Jia's interests, she abandoned Daiyu, which hurt her feelings and chilled Daiyu's heart.

It is only natural for Daiyu to hate Jia's mansion and hate Jia's mansion.

Daiyu is reasonable and understands right and wrong.He must be able to understand the matter of plagiarizing Jia's mansion, and he will not have any objections.

However, if an old man who is in his dying years, who has not done much crime and has not affected the safety of the court, is imprisoned, I am afraid that Daiyu will still have feelings in his heart, which is not very pleasant.

Love means always thinking about each other and silently dedicating to each other.

When Shui Jing attacked his wife and son, he didn't frown, and he didn't show softness at all.

When making a move on this small Jia's mansion, he was full of hesitation and foresight.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with this small Jia's mansion, and it wasn't that he missed Jia Yuanchun's old love, but that he was afraid of hurting the jade plate by hitting a mouse.In order to make Daiyu feel better, Shui Jing let Jia Mu escape from prison.

Not only can Mother Jia continue to live in Rongguo Mansion, but her private property has not been affected at all.

According to the order of Prince Shui Che, Prince Beijing left all of Jia Mu's maids and servants to take care of her.

In addition, for the safety of Jia Mu, Prince Shui Che also sent several servants to guard the Rongguo Mansion day and night, in fact, it was also for monitoring and control.

Prince Shui Che had nothing to do with Jia's family, but this time he rescued him, which was of great significance.

What he did so, on the one hand, made those who still had ulterior motives for Jia's mansion dare not act rashly, and on the other hand, prevented the people of Jia's mansion who were in deep prison from receiving extraordinary treatment.

Shui Che's kindness to Jia's family is as heavy as a mountain, and the purpose is obvious, it is to sell a great favor to Daiyu, and also to make the relationship with Shui Rong more harmonious in the future.All men and women in Jia's mansion, except Jia's mother, were imprisoned in the prison temple during the first month.

The emperor sent Prince Zhongshun and Prince Beijing to jointly try the case, which made the people of Jia's family fearful and full of hope.

After the Ningguo Mansion was raided, people were taken away, the gate was locked and sealed.

Rongguo Mansion is now lifeless, except for the whistling wind, almost no human voices can be heard.

Mother Jia supported the mandarin ducks, and walked from the gate of this yard to the gate of that yard, looking here and there, except for the yard where she lived, the gates of other places were locked and sealed by the government.

"Old lady, you have walked so far, take a rest." Yuanyang persuaded in a low voice, but Jia Mu didn't seem to feel anything at all, she just walked and watched silently, neither crying nor screaming.

Yuanyang supported Jia's mother, and said to the woman next to her, "Go find a soft sedan chair."

"Oh!" Mother Jia sighed for a long time, and said, "Don't read it, go back."

Although Jiamu's house was ransacked and turned into a mess, all the things were still there, and there was no great damage. Yuanyang and others supported Jiamu back, and soon restored to its original appearance.But the other houses were empty, as if they had been looted by robbers. Except for the empty walls, there were tables and chairs with broken legs and broken linings.

"Old lady, you have to take good care of yourself, the whole family is still counting on you, you can't fall down." The maid and woman in the room knelt down and begged her bitterly.

Mother Jia nodded slightly, took out a veil from her bosom, spread it on the table, bit her index finger sharply, and wrote crookedly on the veil, "Yu'er, please, Save the Jia family!"

She hasn't written for many years, but these blood characters are still written very powerfully, especially the word "begging", which is very large and shocking.

In the evening, large snowflakes floated in the sky above the capital city.

Yuanyang came to Yuyuan with Jiamu's blood letter asking for help, knelt down on the ground, and begged to see Daiyu.

When Xiu Gu heard the guard's report, she hurried out to pull up the mandarin ducks and said, "Our girl and the prince left the capital ten days ago."

Yuanyang raised her teary eyes and asked, "When will Miss Lin come back?"

Xiu Gu said in a sympathetic tone: "Young lady and the prince went out for a trip, and when they left, they said that it might take three to five months, or it might take a year or so, and they might come back when."

Yuanyang had no choice but to tell Xiugu about the situation of Jia's house, handed Jiamu's blood book to Xiugu, and begged: "Aunt Xiu, please send someone to give this to Miss Lin for the sake of our old lady. Miss Lin came back late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the old lady again."

Xiu Gu said in embarrassment: "Miss Yuanyang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I don't know where the girl and the prince have traveled."

Mother Jia couldn't eat or sleep at home, and when she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Jia Zheng suffering, and she seemed to hear Baoyu shouting in her ears: "Old lady, help me!"

Now her body is numb, she doesn't feel tired or tired, her eyes are shining, she keeps thinking about how to save her children and grandchildren.She went through all her relatives and friends in her mind, and she felt that Daiyu was the most reliable and powerful.

"Old lady, I'm back." Hearing the mandarin duck's voice, Jia's mother looked up as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and asked, "Did Miss Lin and the prince go to beg the emperor?"

Yuanyang wept mournfully, and replied weakly: "Miss Lin left the capital ten days ago, and now Prince Shui and I don't know where they have traveled, and Aunt Xiu said they couldn't be found."

Suddenly, like a deflated ball, Jia's mother slumped down, tears streaming down her face, and said sadly, "This is God's death for my Jia family!"

The Prison Temple is miserable. Although the King of Jing wanted to take care of it, so many people were taken in at once, and each cell was filled with more than a dozen people. There were not so many beds and quilts. We only got a little grass and a reed mat.The wives, grandmothers, sons, brothers, and misses are also treated the same as the servants, but here everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, everyone is a prisoner.

When they got here, people suddenly separated from each other. Wang Xifeng hugged the terrified Qiaojie and sat in the corner of the cell. Ping'er sat next to her silently, and Mrs. Xing quietly moved to Wang Xifeng's side.

Mrs. Wang, with disheveled hair, sat with Baochai at the other corner of the cell, blinking at the eldest daughter-in-law Li Wan, and saw that although she looked ugly, she was calm.Turning to look at Aunt Zhao, she was leaning against the wall, looking around with her big eyes.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang is imprisoned, jealous, and the more she thinks about it, the more angry she feels. She thinks that when Tanchun left Beijing, she must have a deep meaning to take Jia Huan away. Jia's unfavorable wind has spread.

The male prisoners were locked in another courtyard, and the conditions there were no better than those in the women's prison.

Looking at Baoyu beside him, Jia Zheng saw that he was trembling non-stop, whether it was from cold or fear.Contrary to the strictness of the past, he took off his robe and put Baoyu lightly on his body.

With tears in his eyes, Baoyu took off his outer robe, put it on Jia Zheng again, choked up and said, "My lord, I'm young and I can bear it. You should wear it yourself."

"You don't think it's cold, put it on for me, I'm suffering from the cold." Jia Amnesty reached out to snatch it, but was pushed away by Baoyu's servant, and said disdainfully, "Which one is not cold here?"

As night fell, the cold wind blew in through the drafty doors and windows.

Everyone didn't eat at noon, and they were tossed for another day, and now they are cold and hungry.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Dinner is ready!"

People from the men's and women's prisons rushed to the door of the cell, and saw the jailer coming with a rice bucket and a bowl basket. First, he gave each person a thick bowl and a pair of chopsticks. If it's broken, it's useless."

Then, the jailers began to distribute food. Each person only had a large spoonful of thin, dark things, and there were about half of the bowl in the bowl.

Qiaojie was so hungry that her heart was on her chest, she picked up the bowl and drank.

She just took a sip, and spit it out with a "poof", and asked, "Mother, is this rice?"

Wang Xifeng comforted: "Good boy, eat."

Sister Qiao cried: "I won't eat, I can't swallow."

Hearing this, the jailer at the door sneered and said, "This is made from wheat bran mixed with vegetable leaves. It tastes good after being hungry. If it wasn't for the care of Prince Beijing, how could you eat this? Prisoners only have two porridge a day. "

These pampered people suddenly fell from heaven to hell, their lives were miserable and their spirits were tortured.

Prince Zhongshun is dedicated to this case, no matter it is day or night, whenever there is a little gap, he will come to interrogate these prisoners. Every time the interrogated person is released, either his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, or he is in a trance.

Just when Jia's mansion was destroyed, the affairs of Daiyu and Shui Rong in Yangzhou went smoothly unexpectedly.

Shui Rong took Shi Jian every day and disguised himself as a porter coolie who came to make a living from out of town, looking for work everywhere, carefully looking for the route of salt lords to traffic smuggled salt, and the results were great.

Ah Shan slept during the day and moved around at night, and soon found out all the places where the salt lords hid private salt within a radius of [-] miles from the center of Yangzhou.

The old ladies and ladies of the Wang family of Yan Xiao, since they invited Daiyu to the theater that day and got to know Daiyu, they made up their minds to marry Daiyu to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Wang family and to add luster to the Wang family.

The ideas of the women of the Wang family quickly gained strong support from the men of the Wang family. The men of the Wang family seemed to have seen a road leading to the nobility in the capital. In society, it is an excellent way to marry the royal family and nobles.

In front of Daiyu, who came to Yangzhou to relax in the capital, no matter in terms of appearance, talent, learning, and family background, it seems that she is unattainable.

Through years of experience in dealing with the government, Yan Xiao feels that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as he is willing to spend money, money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and money can make officials subdued.

The brains of the Wang family have already set up the idea of ​​subduing Daiyu, that is, to use money to win over Daiyu, make Daiyu a slave of money, and willingly like the rich Wang family, and then pass through the bridge of Daiyu, with money Get through the high society behind Daiyu, until it leads to the imperial palace, so that her descendants will no longer be the descendants of rich but not expensive salt merchants, but rich and powerful red-capped gentry.

In order to achieve their goal, the old lady of the Wang family either sent someone to visit Daiyu with things, or sent a sedan chair to the West Garden to pick up Daiyu to watch a play.

However, ever since Daiyu went to Wang's house that day, Zijuan Xueyan always had many reasons for Daiyu to refuse to go every time she came to pick her up before going to the theater.

This made the old lady of the Wang family and the wives and wives very anxious, so they had to come to visit in person.

Every time Daiyu received them very politely, the value of the gifts they gave in return was equal to or even higher than what they sent.

This makes the Wang family feel that this beautiful girl is the one they must have, and they are even more respectful and respectful to Daiyu, trying every means to win Daiyu's favor.

Soon, the actions of the Wang family attracted the attention of other salt lords.

We all live in the same city of Yangzhou, and we are bound by each other, and there are people who deliver news to each other.

Xiyuan has become the focus of attention of the big and small salt lords in Yangzhou, and Daiyu has also become the person who is evenly matched by the salt lords.

The women in Yanxiao's backyard in Yangzhou joined forces and came to please Daiyu in various ways.

Daiyu, despite the wind and waves, sat on the fishing boat and watched the world with cold eyes, and I stood still.

Every day, Daiyu can get information about the collusion between Yan Xiao and government personnel from different Yan Xiao women, and then carefully select the most valuable ones, and ask Ah Shan to implement them one by one and collect evidence.

It was originally planned that it would take a year and a half to collect all the evidence of Yan Xiao's crime here, but he never expected that things would go so smoothly.

Within half a month of arriving in Yangzhou, Yangzhou officials colluded with the salt lords, did not sell official salt, smuggled in large quantities, bought and sold private salt, and evaded salt tax, so that the imperial court's annual salt tax was less than two levels.

And these salt lords and corrupt officials in Yangzhou who are rich in private pockets, rich in fat, eating, drinking, committing crimes, and committing all kinds of crimes are happily enjoying the wealth brought by the law without knowing it at this time.

Their debauchery and extravagance are really staggering.

The woman from the Wang family showed off to Daiyu: Wang Tonggui will spend 50 taels of silver to eat a bowl of egg fried rice, because this bowl of egg fried rice must ensure that each grain of rice is complete, and must be separated, and each grain of rice must be soaked. Through the egg juice, fry out golden on the outside and white on the inside.This bowl of rice is matched with Baiyu soup, which includes crucian carp tongue, silver carp brain, carp white, grouper liver, yellow croaker fat, shark fin, soft-shelled turtle skirt, eel blood, bream paddle, mullet fillet Wait, it's extremely delicate. It is said that the eggs he eats are from chickens that have been fed with ginseng, atractylodes and other medicines, so they taste very good.

Needless to say, other salt lords eat, drink and have fun. It is said that the salt merchants will come up with all kinds of tricks to entertain them.For example, in order to compare who is richer, everyone engraved their names on the gold leaf one after another, and ran to the pagoda of Zhenjiang Jinshan to throw the gold leaf out to see whose gold leaf floated to Yangzhou first.

In order to earn more money for their own enjoyment, the salt lords raised the price of official salt on the one hand, making the official salt seriously unsalable; The patrolling soldiers who attacked the salt smugglers on the land turned into the escort of the salt lords.

In the evening, Daiyu and Shui Rong'a Shan drank tea together and discussed the collected information.

Shui Rong couldn't help but said: "Yu'er, I think these criminal evidences are enough to kill them a hundred times, I have to deal with these gangsters immediately, we can't delay."

Daiyu turned her eyes to Ah Shan, only to see Ah Shan bowed his head, kneading the fingers of his left hand with his right index finger and thumb, silent.

"Brother Rong's opinion, I also agree with it. The news of our departure from the capital may spread to Yangzhou soon. If those villains destroy the evidence, we are not in vain? It's just that the officials and soldiers here can't use it. I need to borrow troops." Daiyu nodded and smiled, talking eloquently, with a relaxed tone, as if to say: "Look, the pattern on this dress is pretty good."

Ah Shan raised his head, stared at Shui Rong, and said seriously: "I agree with what the girl said. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, otherwise, I'm afraid that the salt lords and officials in Yangzhou will smell it and hurt the girl."

Hearing this, Shui Rong was shocked in his heart, stared at Ah Shan with beautiful phoenix eyes, and said, "Ah Shan, you are right. From tomorrow onwards, please don't leave the West Garden to protect Yu'er. I think today Take Shi Jian to the Jianghuai camp at night and night, transfer [-] troops, take them away at dawn the day after tomorrow, and then write a letter back to the emperor."

Ah Shan smiled and nodded: "This method is very good. It is my duty to protect the girl, so I don't need you to worry about it. But, let's cut it first and play it later, okay?"

"The general is away, and the king's life is not acceptable. Victory or defeat is a matter of a moment, and the opportunity of battle must not be lost. If I write a letter back to Beijing to ask for orders now, I am afraid that I will delay the opportunity of battle. When I left Beijing, the emperor asked me to have many things to do with Yu I can discuss it with you, and you can deal with it according to the circumstances. Besides, I am the auxiliary prince, and I have the military talisman in my hand. Except for the father, I can mobilize the imperial army." Shui Rong explained to Ah Shan, and waved his hand decisively. He said firmly: "If you two don't have much disagreement, then it's settled."

Here, Shui Rong is gearing up, giving orders to Ah Shan and Dai Yu with high spirits.

A pale lantern hung on the flagpole of the Prison Temple courtyard in the capital, illuminating the miserable and sad faces of the Jia people in the prison.

"Mother, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry." Sister Qiao whispered to Wang Xifeng crying.

"Good boy, mother rubs your belly for you, close your eyes, and go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep." Wang Xifeng whispered softly, leaning her body with one arm around Qiaojie, and one hand lightly Gently rubbing Qiaojie's deflated belly.

"Wow, wow..." Jia Gui cried out of breath. Although his voice was weak and intermittent, it was very heart-wrenching in Mrs. Wang's ears.

She looked at Baochai in disgust, wishing to rush over, grab her by the hair, bow left and right, and open her face.

During that interrogation, because of the presence of Prince Beijing, the yamen servants did not make things difficult for her. The presiding officer sitting on the case had a very kind attitude and warned her in a slow voice. Putting her to death will not embarrass her.

That was the day when she saw Prince Zhongshun very clearly. At that time, she didn't think much about it because she was nervous.

After returning to the prison and taking over his grandson Jia Gui, he discovered that Baoyu's son, with his forehead, eyebrows, especially the bulbous nose and pointed chin, looked like the loyal and obedient prince no matter what he looked at.She thought about it and analyzed it, but she couldn't figure out how Baochai and Zhongshun colluded.

However, no matter how he couldn't figure it out, the Jia Gui in front of him was a copy of Prince Zhongshun, and no one could have any doubts about it.

The deeper the love, the harder the hate.

Mrs. Wang shook her head angrily. Apart from herself, the only thing she loved in her life was her own flesh and blood, Yuanchun and Baoyu. She put Baoyu above everything else.

Now, Baoyu is put on a cuckold by Baochai ignorantly, and also got a cheap son of a thief.

At the beginning, I still gritted my teeth and took out my own money to make a full moon for this evil.

Thinking of this, she was going crazy with hatred!

In the dead of night, the hungry and cold man curled up and was just about to fall asleep in a daze when he suddenly heard Baochai crying.

At this time, no one sympathizes, let alone comforts, but only disgust and hatred.

"Madam! Madam! I beg you to remember that Baoyu is still in prison, and the whole family is suffering. Please let him live." Baochai's pleading alarmed the women in the prison.

Everyone opened their eyes from the twilight, and saw Baochai begging and tugging on Mrs. Wang's hand.

Jia Gui, who was under Mrs. Wang's hand, seemed to sense danger, opened her eyes, looked at the palm less than half a foot away from her in horror, and burst into tears in fright.

The people in the cell woke up completely, thinking that if this Jia Gui died, Prince Zhongshun might torture the people of Jia's family even more.

For their own safety, they all came over to comfort them and said, "Madam, the child is innocent, at least his surname is Jia."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she wailed loudly: "It's a crime! It's a crime! Even an adult can't bear this crime, and I want a child to suffer along with it!" He said, unwilling to admit that Baochai stole people.

She would rather Jia Gui die than Baoyu's son in name to be the son of the loyal prince.

This is really not easy!

Especially when I look at Jia Gui every day, my heart is blocked, and listening to Jia Gui's crying is like a thunderbolt.uncomfortable ah!

The sky has been cloudy for several days, and today is a good sun. The women in the women's prison looked at the bright outside of the house, saw the sparrows chirping and jumping in the yard, and came over to grab the iron gate railing, looking at the outside of the cell with envy. Jumping sparrow.

The gate of the courtyard opened, and several jailers and women greeted a noble beauty with nods and bows.

The women in the prison felt a burst of joy, they thought it was Daiyu who had come.

The beauty walked slowly to the prison door, stopped, and looked carefully at the familiar faces in the prison with a smile.

"Second Sister! Save Qiaoer!" Wang Xifeng was the first to call out.

"Second aunt, save me!" Sister Qiao rushed to the iron gate, grabbed the cold iron railing, and shouted loudly.

The prison woman opened the cell door, Yingchun walked in, pulled Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie up, Xiuju handed the basket in her hand to Wang Xifeng, and said: "After our girl hears about it, go to Yuyuan to meet Miss Lin. Then I left the capital to travel. Our girl entrusted the queen's brother, saying that sister Qiao is young and weak, so we should bail her out first."

The haughty Wang Xifeng rushed over to grab Yingchun's hand, with unspeakable gratitude in her eyes, choked up and speechless.

Aunt Zhao squeezed in front of Yingchun and begged, "Second Miss, please write a letter for me to my Third Miss and brother Huan."

"Oh. I went to the men's prison just now and saw Huan'er. I only found out after asking. The third sister-in-law's family already knew that Jia's mansion was dismissed. The prince there sent someone to send Huan'er back. I heard it happened just yesterday. Arrived. Auntie, don’t worry, I saw Huan’er just now, although he came in, he’s still in good spirits. Huan’er wants me to bring a message to Auntie, and ask Auntie to relax a bit, the third sister is having a good time over there.” Yingchun After finishing speaking with a smile, he turned around and was about to leave.

Li Wan quickly grabbed her and asked, "Second Sister, have you seen my Lan'er? How is he?"

"I just took a quick look at the flowers and walked around casually. Huan'er and I are both slaves. We used to play together a lot. When we met, we naturally said a few more words. How could I notice other people?" Yingchun Pulling sister Qiao, she smiled and said: "Qiaoer, tell your mother, don't think too much about it when it comes to this matter, take one step at a time, and try to take good care of your body."

Walking out of the prison door, Yingchun felt that Qiaojie was wearing a thin prison uniform and shivering from the cold, so she took off her big ermine fur cloak, gently draped it on her body, and pulled her away without looking back.

"Bah! What a white-eyed wolf! You don't bring anything to eat, so what's the point of coming here empty-handed?" Mrs. Wang spat on the ground resentfully, rolling her eyes in anger.

"Madam, the second sister must still be resentful for not letting her go home." Baochai looked at Yingchun's leaving back and analyzed to himself.

Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Xing who was thinking about her thoughts in the corner, and said sarcastically, "You are also her mother after all. I have never seen such a daughter. It can be seen that she is not her own. There is always a layer of skin between her. You see, she Today I came to rescue Qiao Jie, Lian Er and Feng girl also have hope. This is really a litter of dogs, pity my Baoyu, leaving a sister who is a concubine, but it is useless."

Now Mrs. Xing is not afraid of the mother of this imperial concubine at all, she squinted her eyes, smiled disdainfully, and said coldly: "I am born with a hard life, and I am not as filial as my own children, so there is nothing to be angry about. It’s just that for some people, their children do some scandalous things outside, which adds humiliation to others, and they are kept in the dark, which makes people feel more sad and disturbed.”

Aunt Zhao feels that everyone is now a prisoner, and no one is more noble than the other.Thinking that at least he still has a daughter who is the concubine of the world. The son came back, and just now people believed him to be relieved, so there was hope.

She couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Wang, and said: "Tanya let her brother Huaner come back, which means that Huaner will be fine. When the case is over, I will follow my Huaner. Support me. In the future, I will see those noble people, don’t be ashamed of them anymore, that’s fine.”

Aunt Zhao's last words deeply hurt Mrs. Wang's heart, she couldn't help getting up, and raised her hand to hit Aunt Zhao.At this time, how could Aunt Zhao tolerate it?The two fought in the cell.Mrs. Xing Wang Xifeng sat still, just watching with cold eyes.

Li Wan was hindered by his status, he stretched out his hand in a coping manner, and said perfunctorily: "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore."

Baochai also put the child in her arms aside, and turned sideways to fight.

The prison woman heard the sound of fighting in the cell, ran over to open the cell door, kicked Aunt Zhao's feet, and dragged them away.

Mrs. Wang glared at Aunt Zhao angrily and cursed at her, even reaching out to beat her.

Because Aunt Zhao was kicked twice by the prison woman, she didn't dare to move at the moment, and she didn't dare to scold back, she just covered her face and cried.

The prison woman felt that her prestige had been challenged, turned around, grabbed Mrs. Wang, cracked, kicked and beat her and dragged her to the yard, punishing her to kneel on the ground, and said viciously: "Okay, okay, aren't you Do you have the energy? You will be fined to kneel until you eat. Also, you are not allowed to eat for two days, so you have the energy to make trouble!"

Baochai picked up Jia Gui, ran out and begged, "I am my wife's daughter-in-law, please let me kneel on my wife's behalf."

Seeing that Baochai was haggard but still beautiful, the prison woman felt narrow-minded, and said maliciously, "That's fine, because of your filial piety, you can come and kneel. However, the one in your hand The baby has to be held, lest you run back to sit in the house with the excuse of needing to breastfeed."

Baochai looked at Jia Gui in his arms, although this child brought him a lifelong shame that would never be washed away, it was after all the flesh that fell from his body, and mother and child were connected.She couldn't bear Jia Gui's exposure to the cold outside, and seeing Mrs. Wang staring at her, she could only cruelly say: "Yes, I am willing."

The cold wind blows, and little Jiagui cuddles tightly in Baochai's arms.

Baochai was kneeling on the icy ground, wearing only a thin and worn prison uniform, and shivering from the cold.After a while, little Jiagui's lips turned purple from the cold.

He hid in his mother's arms, Yiyi, and could only let out a weak cry. Baochai knew that if this continued, he would die.

She really wanted to beg the prison maid to send Jia Gui back to the cell, but just as she was about to plead, Mrs. Wang's disgusted eyes flashed in her mind, and she immediately closed her lips tightly.

She thought: Even if you send little Jia Gui back to the cell, he will only be thrown in a corner, or will freeze to death.Rather than letting him freeze to death alone, it is better to let him die in his arms.At least, he has his mother to accompany him, so he won't die alone.

"My lord, this way please!" I don't know it was the gust of wind that brought the lord Zhongshun here.

He stepped into the yard of the women's prison, and saw Baochai shivering kneeling on the icy slag in the yard.

Prince Zhongshun's face became ugly, because his son might be frozen to death in the cold wind.

Although, he has made up his mind that he will not recognize this son.But after all, this is his blood, the seed he sowed.How could he watch his son freeze to death in front of him and remain indifferent?

He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and walked in front of Baochai as expressionlessly as possible.

He coldly looked at Baochai who was kneeling, and saw that she was a little out of her mind, holding the child tightly with her hands, bowing her waist hard, with her head lowered, wishing she could wrap her body around the child in her arms .

Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but bent down and looked at the child in her arms, only to see that the child's face had turned blue, his lips were dark purple, and his eyes were tightly closed.

He couldn't help reaching out to pick up the child's swaddling clothes, only to see the child whose eyes were tightly closed suddenly opened his eyes, staggered towards his little mouth, and made a yapping sound.
