When the order came that Shen Qi'an, the Marquis of Weiyuan, was imprisoned and his family members were not allowed to go out at will, Mrs. Shen immediately fainted.

The Zhou family also panicked. Her father should have had a hard time ending such a rebellious thing. She was already in panic all day long.Later, she found out that her husband hadn't participated, and she was relieved, but it turned out that her husband knew about it earlier, but he didn't act with her father.

She was completely messed up, and everything happened to her natal and husband's family.

The only one who could keep calm was Jiayu. She directed the powerful mother-in-law to take his wife back to the room, and let the maid go out to invite the doctor.

But the servant girl came back after a while, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Miss, there are now a large group of guards around the mansion, saying that Hou's mansion can't enter or leave."

Jiayu's face changed slightly, she pondered for a moment and then said: "Then go and invite Sun Nanny here, she knows some medical principles."

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen didn't have a big problem, it was just a fainting caused by the rush of breath. Nanny Sun asked the kitchen to prepare calm soup and pour it down for Mrs. Shen.

But half an hour later, Mrs. Shen woke up leisurely.

Jiayu's eyes lit up: "Mother, how are you?"

Madam Shen burst into tears, she squeezed Jiayu's hand tightly and said, "Jiayu, your brother..."

Jiayu took the handkerchief and wiped Madam Shen's tears while saying, "Brother has never been involved in the sale of smuggled salt, but he just didn't report what he knew. His crime is not serious, mother, don't worry."

Of course, there are different types of non-reporting, such as knowing that someone steals and not reporting it, the stick is twenty.Knowing that others are collaborating with the enemy and not reporting it, and killing everyone, her brother's failure to report is not as serious as the latter, but it is not light.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Shen seemed to be grasping at straws, "Your brother never sold illegal salt, he is not a major crime, not a major crime." As she spoke, Mrs. Shen, who has always been gentle and weak, rarely showed a ruthless expression, "That Zhou Min was so bold and greedy for profit that he did such immoral things, my son has always been prudent and cautious, if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have encountered such a disaster."

Zhou's face, who was guarding the side of the room, turned pale.

Jiayu looked at it, and winked at Zhou, suggesting that she leave.

It's just that Mrs. Zhou was in a daze and didn't react. On the contrary, Mrs. Shen saw Mrs. Zhou. She struggled up from the bed and cried, "It's my fault. Why did you choose such a person as a wife for Da Lang?", I am blind, Mrs. Zhou, get the hell out of here!"

"Mother, sister-in-law doesn't want to either." Jiayu stopped her, and then said to Zhou Shi, "Sister-in-law, you go back and stay with Qi'er first, mother has me here."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Shen who was in tears, responded in a low voice, and left.

Mrs. Shen just scolded Zhou Min for a rare outburst, Jiayu didn't use much force, and helped her sit on the bed.

"Mother, it's hard for you to take care of yourself now that your elder brother is in prison. What if something happens, what will your daughter do?" Mrs. Shen was about to cry when she heard the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, she looked at the delicate and weak woman sitting beside her.The weak daughter was shocked.

Although she has a weak personality, she is strong as a mother, not to mention that she does not favor boys over girls. On the contrary, she loves her delicate and sensible daughter more than her naughty and stubborn son since childhood.

What if she has a daughter with three long and two short?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears, forced out a smile and said: "Mother is fine." As she spoke, she also reached out to smooth Jiayu's hair at the sideburns.

Jiayu stayed with Shen's mother all the time, and she didn't go back to her own yard. After Shen's mother fell asleep, she left for Zhou's yard.

Sitting in front of the shaker with dull eyes, Zhou's eyes fell on Shen Qi, but they didn't focus on it. Jiayu called her several times before Zhou raised his head in a daze and said, "My sister is here."

Jiayu ordered the nanny to carry Xiao Shizi down, and then she sat down next to Zhou Shi: "Mother was stimulated today, and she spoke a little too aggressively, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart."

Zhou lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands, and didn't answer.

Jiayu saw teardrops dripping on the back of her hand, she patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry."

Mrs. Zhou raised her head suddenly, and cried, "If he hadn't married me, he wouldn't have encountered what happened today. It was I who harmed my husband."

"Sister-in-law, don't think that way." Jiayu said softly, "You are gentle and reasonable. It is his blessing that my brother married you. You don't know about this matter. Even if it has something to do with Mr. Zhou, you didn't do it.Now that my brother is still in prison, as Mrs. Hou, you must remain rational and take good care of Qi'er, what's the use of crying blindly."

To be honest, Zhou's heart is pure and kind, if he didn't have such a character, he wouldn't blame himself so much.But she was not weak. Hearing what Jiayu said, she quickly recovered her mood, gritted her teeth and looked at Jiayu and said, "Sister, you are right, crying is useless, and now is not the time to cry."

Seeing that sister-in-law cheered up, even if she tried to hold her spirits up, it was better than complaining about herself, Jiayu comforted her softly: "Sister-in-law is right to think so, besides, if eldest brother comes back and sees that our eyes are bigger than walnuts, I'm afraidAnd scare him."

Zhou wiped away her tears and looked at her sincerely: "Jiayu, thank you, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law told me why, you and I are family." Jiayu said.

After comforting Mrs. Zhou, Jiayu returned to Mrs. Shen's bedroom, where she lit Ningshen incense, Mrs. Shen was still frowning in her sleep.

Jiayu guarded her for a while, until it was getting late, and went to rest in the warm pavilion in Zhou's bedroom.

She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her mind was so clear that she couldn't sleep.She comforted her mother and Zhou to be orderly, but she didn't seem to be calm, it was just that the two of them were already in a mess, if she was in a panic again, Weiyuan Houfu didn't know what would happen.

Because it was in Mrs. Shen's courtyard, Qingzhu didn't have a room of her own, so she slept on the footrest, and when she heard the sound of the bed tossing and turning, she whispered: "Miss, can't you sleep?"

Jiayu opened her eyes wide, looked at the bed curtain and said, "Is it because I'm moving too much? Go to sleep, I won't move."

Qing Zhu said silently: "The servant girl knows that Miss is worried about Lord Hou, but with the prince here, Lord Hou will be safe and sound."

Hearing this, Jiayu smiled wryly and said, "I don't know whether I want the crown prince to help eldest brother."

"Miss, what do you mean?" Qingzhu was surprised.

Jiayu took a deep breath: "I'm afraid of implicating the prince."

There is a lot of rumors about the private salt incident, and His Majesty revealed that he meant severe punishment. If the Crown Prince pleaded for her elder brother, would His Majesty think that the Crown Prince was against him and disregarded his wishes, or that the Crown Prince valued love and did not speak the law?

But if the prince doesn't show up, she has read the law before, and her brother's crime can be beheaded.

She really doesn't know how to weigh her brother and the prince.

The Marquis of Weiyuan was sealed off for five whole days, because outsiders were not allowed to enter and those inside were not allowed to leave, and the carriages purchased could not leave. The daily meals became more and more simple, but now everyone is not particular about meals..

Even if I have no appetite, I have to force myself to drink two bowls of porridge every day.

Jiayu sometimes hoped for news, and sometimes hoped that there would be no news. In this way, at Sishi five days later, the door of the Marquis of Weiyuan was opened.

"By His Majesty's order, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and others will be put in prison and wait for their release."

What……

Jiayu was startled, and asked, "Dare to ask this lord..."

Before she finished speaking, the leading general interrupted her directly: "Miss Shen, we are also following orders. Do you follow obediently or ask someone to escort you over."

As the family members of the criminal ministers, Jiayu, Mrs. Shen, Zhou Shi and Qi'er were locked in the same cell, and the other slaves and servants were never known where they were locked up.

The only good thing is that although the mother and sister-in-law looked terrified this time, they kept calm, and Xiao Lin'er didn't cry or make trouble.

When it was time for dinner, the jailer brought the dinner over. Jiayu saw that it wasn't a very good dish, but it was clean, with both meat and vegetables, enough for the few of them to eat.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't eat, but the nanny was not around, so she had to breastfeed Qi'er herself, forcing herself to eat a lot, and Mrs. Shen also used up half a bowl of rice.

After eating dinner in silence, the sky darkened, and it slowly became night.It's mid-autumn, the night is windy, cold and damp, which usually doesn't appear in the mansion, but when we arrive in the prison, the golden crow outside just falls, and the cold and dampness in the air suddenly intensifies.

Jiayu took off her coat to Xiao Qi'er and asked Mrs. Zhou to wrap it up for him, but Mrs. Zhou refused repeatedly: "I'm not cold, just use my coat."

"Sister-in-law, you broke your body when you gave birth to Qi'er. I'm young and powerful, use mine." Jiayu said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "It's better to use mine. I wear thick clothes. It doesn't matter if I take off a coat." Madam Shen was about to take off the coat.

Jiayu quickly stopped her: "Mother, you are always afraid of the cold, what if you take off your coat and catch the cold, I have always been afraid of the heat but not the cold, so don't fight with me."

Mrs. Shen should not, she stubbornly wants to take off her coat, she is usually afraid of the cold, but as a mother, she would rather be cold by herself than to let her daughter suffer from the cold.

When the mother and daughter were arguing about this matter, suddenly there were voices outside, which were indistinct and could not be heard clearly, but when Jiayu heard the word Your Highness, she suddenly turned her head away.

The sky outside should be completely dark, and there is no light coming in from the small windows in the prison cell. The light in the sky prison only depends on a few oil lamps, and it is impossible to see far and clearly.

But the man who came was holding a plain white gauze lamp, which illuminated the road under his feet extremely brightly, and Jiayu could easily see his facial features.

"Your Highness, this is the prison cell." After a few steps, they came to Jiayu's cell. The jailer took out the key from his waist and opened the iron door. "Xiaomin went outside to guard."

The crown prince nodded, and after the jailer left, Jiayu saw him looking sideways at her.

When Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhou saw the prince, they were shocked and knelt down to salute.

The prince helped Mrs. Shen up: "You don't have to be like this." After speaking, the prince's eyes fell on Jiayu's thin figure, frowning, he took off the cloak and put it on her and asked, "Is it cold?"

Jiayu shook her head blankly.

The prince sighed, fastened the cloak tie around her collarbone and said: "Don't worry, I will let you leave safely."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen was overjoyed.

Jiayu frowned, and asked cautiously: "Does Your Highness know why we were put in jail?"

This is what Jiayu has been wondering since this time, if it was because of selfishness, why didn't they be imprisoned five days ago.

The crown prince stood in front of Jiayu: "I really want to know?"

Jiayu nodded immediately.

The prince said: "Yesterday someone sued the Marquis of Weiyuan for committing a murder, occupying good land and oppressing good people."

"What?" Jiayu sniffled, "Brother wouldn't do such a thing."

"Yes, Your Highness, my husband is not such a person." Zhou said in amazement, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

The prince was silent for a moment, his eyes swept over several people, and finally he stopped on Jiayu and said: "Shen Qi'an never ordered Lin Yi from Zhuangzi to do this, but Lin Yi used the reputation of the Marquis of Weiyuan to occupy the good land.Several farmer households were destroyed. Not only that, he also forcibly occupied several women in the name of the Marquis of Weiyuan, yesterday was the father of one of the victims who sued the Marquis of Weiyuan to Jing Zhaoyin, His Majesty was furious."

Lin Yi has met Jia twice, and he looks honest and honest.His mother was a dowry maid by his mother's side, and his father was an old man in the family, so he got the position of head of the village. How dare he do such a thing!

Mrs. Shen was dizzy and said: "How is it possible, how is it possible." Seeing that her body was tottering, Jiayu helped her to sit on the pile of licorice.

Zhou said with hope: "But those things were all done by Lin Yi, and we didn't know about it."

The prince responded lightly: "Lin Yi is a servant of Weiyuan Marquis."

Jiayu's heart sank uncontrollably.Even if the Marquis of Weiyuan didn't know what Lin Yi was doing, they couldn't escape. First of all, it was a big hat of ineffective supervision.Furthermore, if they said they didn't know about His Majesty, they might not necessarily believe it, and they might think that their words were eloquent and they didn't know how to repent.

The Marquis Mansion of Weiyuan is dangerous, very dangerous, maybe their family's lives will not be saved.

The prince seemed to read what Jiayu was thinking, and said softly: "I can only keep you safe, don't be afraid."

Jiayu raised her head and looked, the prince was following the dim light, his eyebrows were warm and clean, obviously he was in the simple and gloomy prison, but seeing the gentle and determined expression on his face, the uneasiness in Jiayu's heart gradually subsided.

"Your Highness, you should think of yourself more in everything." Jiayu lowered her head and said.

The prince smiled when he heard this, and he knelt down in front of Jiayu: "Jiayu, I am in everything." He stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Jiayu's hair.

Mrs. Shen was very anxious, but she inadvertently noticed that the prince's behavior was inappropriate.She was about to take a closer look, but the prince withdrew his hand: "Don't worry, cousin, sister-in-law, you will be able to go out in a few days."

After saying that, the crown prince looked at Jiayu again, and walked away.

And the prince's back completely disappeared from the eyes of several people. Although Zhou was still uneasy, his spirit improved a lot.

Mrs. Shen looked at Jiayu with her head bowed, hesitated to speak, and finally looked at Mrs. Zhou on one side, but did not ask any questions after all.

Jiayu never noticed Mrs. Shen's face, she was full of entanglements now, she hoped that the prince would keep her whole family, but if so, she was worried that the prince would pay too much.

Their crimes in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion are not light, and every item is fixed and cannot be changed.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of the jailer's footsteps came from outside again. Three or two jailers silently put a few clean and warm quilts on the wooden bed, and left quietly.

Not only that, but clean baby swaddles and a dozen or so clean diapers.

He has always been so thoughtful and considerate in his work, Jiayu thought silently, such a good prince, she really couldn't bear to involve him, but if it was only her, let it go, and her eldest brother and mother, she couldn't bear to let them die.

A few red candles with thick forearms lit up the entire palace, and the man standing facing the window concealed his complexion in the gloom.

A counselor behind him advised in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Weiyuan offended His Majesty, if His Highness protects him, I'm afraid His Majesty will be displeased, and now His Majesty is jealous of His Highness because of rumors, Your Highness should keep a low profile and obey the holy will in everything.Furthermore, Marquis Weiyuan has not contributed to His Highness's great cause, so he is not worthy of His Highness's help."

The prince laughed softly: "Is it true that His Majesty will not like you for saving Marquis Weiyuan and his family?"

The counselor responded: "Your Majesty has become more and more irritable recently. He hates people who disagree with him the most. Your Highness thinks twice, and now the Prince of Zhaoping and others are staring at His Highness. I wish His Highness could anger His Majesty."

"I don't know, you go down." The prince said, looking at the osmanthus tree under the moonlight.

The counselor said cautiously: "Is His Highness Weiyuan Houfu not saved?"

"Of course..." the crown prince elongated his voice, and there was still a slight smile in his voice, "I need to save you."

When the counselor heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, think twice, saving Marquis Weiyuan is not beneficial to His Highness."

Harmless?The prince raised his eyebrows. His little girl, after learning that he would protect their family regardless of himself for her, no matter what he asked for in the future, the little girl would willingly agree.
