Chapter 483: SOS!
ing to let go.Jiā'ān pleaded, "Grandmother, I truly am not cut out for studying. In the academy, I only enjoy horseback riding and archery!""Me too, Mama. Just let us go south, please. I want to follo...The Marquis dined at home and spent some time playing with his plump daughter. He secretly slipped her some good treats, making her eyes light up with delight. Only then did he ride back to the camp on horseback.
The following day at noon, Jiayin had a short nap. When she woke up, Huiniang brought the twin dragons and phoenixes over to move around. Cui's wife also came over to chat.
The classroom was moved to Li Laotai's house.
But before the sewing basket could be opened, there was a commotion outside the yard.
Li Lao's wrinkled brows, called the water-ling serving at the door to see in front.
As a result, Grandma He rushed in and reported, "Old Madam, Madam Cui, Old Madam Wen has come again. She's making a fuss in the front courtyard, demanding to see Madam Cui. She says that Mr. Wen has had an accident and wants Madam Cui to help..."
Everyone's faces changed color. Although they all guessed this was the men's arrangement, they were also worried about unexpected situations.
Then, they quickly arrived at the front yard.
This time, Madam Wen didn't come over, only Old Madam Wen brought a nursemaid.
Mrs. Wen cried until her eyes were red. As soon as she saw Mrs. Cui, she rushed forward and grabbed her hand, crying out, "Jinrou, you must think of a way! My second son... he's in big trouble! They say he advised the Emperor, making him faint with anger! Wah wah, they say my second son will be beheaded!"
Dizzy the Emperor
Decapitation
Everyone was taken aback. Mrs. Cui opened her mouth to speak, but she was stopped by Old Madam Li.
Li Laotai shielded Madam Cui behind her and said to the older Mrs. Wen, "Mrs. Wen, you've been pestering Jinrou to cry for days now, constantly saying that Mr. Wen was painstakingly cultivated by your Wen family, that you nurtured him with all your care and teaching, and that he carries the burden of bringing glory to your Wen family."
Since Mr. Wen cares so much about the Wen family, this is the time when your Wen family should step up and find a solution. What are you doing here looking for Jin Rou Doesn't your Wen family dislike her
“She, a woman, came forward at this time to plead for Mr. Wen, risking her own reputation! What if Mr. Wen is saved, and your family still treats her with disdain How will she live then How will she face the world!”
Mrs. Wen's heart skipped a beat at his words, and she whispered, "That... wasn't me. It was my husband. They said... they had to avoid suspicion and couldn't save the second son. The second son likes Jinrou, so I could only ask her for help. She's familiar with the Liu family..."
Li Laotai became increasingly angry, “Oh, your family wants to avoid suspicion so even your own son is unwilling to help. Then Jinrou isn't afraid of people gossiping, isn't afraid of being implicated, she just wants to go out and run around, is that right Your family really does have a good plan!”
Hui Niang also chimed in, her face cold as she said: "You've all grown eyes but can't see! When there are benefits, your son is yours, but when it comes to hard work, you remember other people!"
"The Wen family isn't a scholarly household, is it What on earth are they doing Even our small families know how to share both hardship and prosperity. Mr. Wen is truly pitiful!"
Mrs. Wen was speechless after being scolded by the two, feeling a thousand grievances in her heart, "They don't let me interfere, and I just wanted to tell you because Second Son is my own flesh and blood. You actually scold me like this Well then, I won't interfere anymore!"
She was so angry that she flung her hand away, supported herself with the midwife's arm and went out. She got into the carriage and left.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Hui Niang's mouth was sharp, and she sneered, "Was Mr. Wen picked up from a roadside gutter When his son is in trouble, a mother should try her best to save him. She comes here asking for help to rescue her son, and yet expects others to be grateful!"
Old Mrs. Li also shook her head, "It is indeed rare to be a mother like this, but in the end, when you consider all those people in the Wen family together, only she still has some affection for Mr. Wen..."
Everyone sighed in unison. Mrs. Cui was still uneasy and called upon Qiong to harness the carriage. She was determined to go into the city herself to see what was happening.
Li Laotai found Ye Tong and asked him to follow her. If anything happened, he could return immediately to report…
At this time, the city was also bustling with activity, and almost all teahouses and restaurants were discussing it.
"Have you heard The Imperial censor, Mian Sheng, directly confronted the Emperor and made him faint with anger!"
"No way, who would be so foolish Even if they wanted to speak out, they'd have to pick the right moment!"
Of course it’s true! This imperial censor is the second son of the Wen family, a disciple of Grand Scholar Cui Zhengqing, and the successor of this generation of the Xinxue school.
"Ah, the second son of the Wen family Isn't that the one who was at the Imperial Academy before, and then later brought northern refugees to petition the court, causing the county magistrate from the dock area to be removed from office"
Yes, yes! That's him!
The Wen family is quite well-established, though they've fallen from grace in recent years. Now, their eldest son holds the rank of fourth grade official, and the old Master Wen, a former jinshi who has stayed out of office for many years, still carries some weight in our region. With a little effort, this matter shouldn't be too difficult to resolve, right At most, Mr. Wen would be dismissed from his post and sent home, at least he could keep his life...
Everyone was talking and discussing, but they didn't think this matter would be a big deal.
After all, Wen Yu Shi was not an assassin and did not intentionally want to harm the emperor. He was merely speaking frankly and offering his advice.
But things don't often go as everyone expects, and soon news came out that Wen Yishi was thrown into the Dali Temple prison.
Things have gotten serious now.
But someone had been watching the entrance to the Wens' house. Although half a day had passed since the incident, Old Master Wen remained indoors.
Not only that, but Lord Wen even took leave from the yamen, claiming illness and returning home.
Is this just pretending not to care about Wen Yu's history, the whole family shutting themselves in to think about it!
Everyone was baffled and couldn't figure out what the Wen family was planning...
At this time, Mrs. Cui's carriage had already entered the city and was heading straight for Liu's house.
Soon, Liu Zhiheng brought silver and rushed to Dali Temple's jail.
Just as he arrived at the door, he ran into Li Zhensheng and Old Master Li, the two brothers. The pair had brought a lot of food.
Food and silver were delivered to appease them, making them laugh and happy. Bedding and clothing were also successfully sent in.
But their request to see Wen Yu's was rejected.
Li Zhensheng and Liu Ziheng went their separate ways to inquire about news. Old Master Li stayed in the carriage, guarding outside the prison until nightfall. When the patrolling city guards came to drive people away, he left.
Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Master Li's carriage reappeared at its original location.
And the xiankelai, specializing in breakfast, also filled two large lunch boxes and sent them into the prison.
Noon, evening, every meal like this.
The honorable uncle acted as the gatekeeper, bribing everyone in the prison so diligently just to ensure that even Wen Yu had a hot meal inside his cell.
While Liu Ziheng brought his adopted sister and his father's letter of introduction, he went to visit the old friends and classmates of Cui University Scholar.
Just so they could jointly write a plea and intercede on behalf of Wen Yushi.
Even Liu Zhiheng had given up. Regardless of his friendship with the fellow scholar who was also a warm-hearted man, he was still a man after all.
But even if Cui's wife was wearing the identity of her junior sister, a woman running around for a man like this would inevitably be criticized.
She, however, didn't care at all and used her entire network without reservation.
While the Li, Liu, and Cui families exerted every effort, the Wen family was like the dead, without any reaction whatsoever...
Sorry, today's update is a little late, still four chapters! back to Er Cun first to wash up and have dinner, then come back later to unload the goods.""No, no, Miss, we should unload first!"Old Hei quickly waved his hand and smiled, saying: "County Princess,...
