Jiayu stayed in the prison for seven days. Every day she had clean meals and warm quilts, but she felt uneasy.

In just seven days, her face became thinner, and her oval face turned into a melon-shaped face. Not only did she lose weight, but Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Shen also lost weight.But because of what the prince said, they were in good spirits.

It's just that as time passed and there was no more news, they gradually became uneasy. The Weiyuan Hou Mansion was charged with a lot of crimes. If His Highness the Crown Prince can't persuade His Majesty to show mercy, then what will happen.

In this way, on the seventh day, the head of the jail opened their cell and said, "Your Majesty is tolerant, Nianer and others are all weak women and children, take them back to the Marquis of Weiyuan, and wait for their disposal."

Several people were overjoyed when they heard the words.

The crime has not been absolved, but it is an excellent thing to let them return to the Hou Mansion and not continue to live in the dark and gloomy sky prison.

Jiayu helped Mrs. Shen stand up, and asked the head of the prison: "The Marquis of Weiyuan, Shen Qi'an, can be taken back to the Marquis Mansion for custody?"

The attitude of the head of the prison is not bad: "No, only you few."

Jiayu asked again, "What about the servants of the Marquis Mansion?"

"They will naturally continue to stay in the sky prison."

The three of them looked at each other, and it was better for them to leave temporarily than for everyone to continue to be imprisoned in the prison.It's just that when they were sent back to the Marquis of Weiyuan to take care of them, there were no servants, so they had to clean up the room by themselves.

The few of them were born in the family and have never done such things, but in today's situation, it is His Majesty's kindness to be able to return to the Hou's Mansion. It is impossible to ask for many things. Anyway, the family is safe and sound, so it is okay to do some work.

The only difficulty is the food, Mrs. Shen Zhou's Jiayu has never cooked.As far as they are concerned, the food they make by themselves is nothing more than turning over the spatula when the girl is cooking the fire and the cook is preparing the ingredients.

Now this is the case, but no one will.

But before they could figure out how to solve the lunch, the soldiers who were ordered to supervise them came in with a food box: "Lunch."

After speaking, he didn't stay long and left.

Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect the food in the food box to be delicious and precious, as long as it was the same as the prison food in the sky prison, it would be several times better than any one of them.

Just waiting for the food box to be opened, Jiayu couldn't help being shocked, the dishes are not expensive, but each one is carefully cooked, suitable for nourishing people.

More importantly, there are two other dishes that she likes.

When Mrs. Shen saw the dish, she subconsciously looked at Jiayu, and then thought of the prince.Only Mrs. Zhou didn't hesitate, and divided the bowls and chopsticks for everyone to sit down.

When Jiayu and Zhou saw the dishes, they both suspected that the prince had someone prepare them, but they couldn't make a conclusion. It wasn't until the next few days that there were two dishes that Jiayu liked in the daily meals, and they couldn't be sure.

However, unlike Jiayu's gratitude, Mrs. Shen's suspicion became stronger and stronger. The prince has always been stable and reliable, and she wanted to take care of them and invite someone to deliver meals. Apart from being grateful, she would not doubt the prince's feelings for Jiayu.But now Jiayu likes every meal, the people below don't know what Jiayu likes to eat, the only one who may know is the prince, what does this mean?Explain that each meal is personally ordered by His Royal Highness.

Is there such a considerate cousin who takes care of ordinary cousins?

Mrs. Shen hesitated to speak several times, let alone mentioning that the crown prince has made a crown prince concubine, only that Jiayu married Prince Ping's son, and Prince Ping's son is His Highness's blood brother, so there is no relationship between Jiayu and the crown prince.

But the top priority is not this matter, it is still waiting for the Shen family to settle down.

His Majesty's punishment for the Marquis of Weiyuan came out five days later.

That day, Jiayu and the others heard loud footsteps in the front yard.

"Now Marquis of Weiyuan, Shen Qi'an, covers up the culprit, disrespects the monarch, indulges slaves to commit crimes, and causes harm to one party. He is an unloyal and immoral person. But thinking of his ancestors' contribution to the community, he is demoted as a commoner and loses his family property."

Shen Qi'an repeated what the eunuch Xuanzhi said to Jiayu and the others with a dejected expression on his face, covered his face and immediately knelt down, and smiled wryly at Madam Shen: "Mother, the foundation of our ancestors was completely destroyed by our son."

Mrs. Shen felt weak when she heard the news, but she had thought of ransacking the house a few days ago, and now her children are by her side, but without the title, everyone is still there.Thinking of this, she cheered up and said, "I can't blame you for this."

Jiayu also persuaded: "Brother, our whole family is together now, as long as everyone is fine."

"But... how can the common people and the Hou's mansion be on the same level." Shen Qi'an said in a daze.

Of course it is not the same, but the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to ask His Majesty to take back the order, they can only accept, accept the new status of common people, and start to live the life of ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Jiayu said, "Brother, we must always look forward."

Now that the title is gone, it will be gone. It will be even more troublesome if the elder brother is in a slump because of this.

The guard commander next to him saw it, and said in a stern voice: "The Marquis Mansion of Weiyuan is the mansion of the Marquis Mansion bestowed by the Holy Ancestor, and now everyone needs to move out as soon as possible."

Shen Qi'an's expression changed after hearing this.

Knowing that Shen Qi'an was feeling uncomfortable, Jiayu persuaded him a few words, and saw that he was stunned, like a silent stone sculpture.She was anxious and angry: "Brother is the only man in the family now, and now he doesn't want to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family. Do you still expect mother to take care of you?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it, and tugged Jiayu's arm.

The commander of the guards folded his arms and looked at them: "Everyone, this house is no longer the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion, so don't blame me for being rude if you don't leave."

Mrs. Shen's face was pale: "Let's go pack our luggage and leave right away."

As soon as he took a step, the cold wild goose-winged knife lay across Madam Shen's waist: "I don't have any property, and now everything belongs to Your Majesty. I don't know what Madam Shen wants to take care of?"

Mrs. Shen opened her lips and was about to say more, but the commander of the guards said coldly: "If you continue to entangle, I will send someone to search your body, and you may not be able to keep everything on your body."

Hearing this, Jiayu pulled Mrs. Shen back, each of them had a few pieces of valuable jewelry on them, if they were searched, they would really lose their last money for self-defense."Mother, let's go." Jiayu lowered her head.

Mrs. Shen wiped away her tears: "Let's go, let's go."

Zhou Shi heard the words and hugged the baby in her arms tightly.

Jiayu took half a step, turned around and found Shen Qi'an frozen in place, motionless, she stopped and said: "Brother, without the title, you still have us."

Hearing this, Shen Qi'an's eyeballs moved slightly, he turned his head, and his eyes fell on them with sad eyes. After a while, he silently followed.

When she stepped out of the gate of the Marquis Mansion, Jiayu couldn't help but turn her head back, she looked at Weiyuan Marquis Mansion with gold hooks and iron marks on the gilded black wooden plaque.

Mrs. Shen lowered her head: "Don't look."

Zhou suppressed her emotions, and at this moment, she couldn't help it anymore, she said with a sobbing voice: "Husband, it was I who harmed you."

Shen Qi'an shook his head stiffly: "It's my fault, it has nothing to do with you." He stretched out his hand and took Qi'er in Zhou's arms. Qi'er was only two or three months old and didn't know anything. He squinted his eyes and smiled happily.He said silently: "Let's go."

The location of the Marquis of Weiyuan is in the noble circle of Kyoto, where the houses are poor and the walls are deep, and there is no buzz of people.The Shen family didn't say a word, and it took half an hour for them to walk out of this area, out of the circle of nobles, and they came and went row after row.

"Mother, I still have some money on me, let's find a place to live first," Jiayu said.

Mrs. Shen asked in amazement: "When did you bring the money?"

Jiayu smiled, she thought about His Majesty raiding the house, and just in case, she took all the bank notes in her room with her, the amount was not much, but there were five hundred taels, and she didn't expect it to come true.

To the former Mrs. Shen, five hundred taels of silver was just a dignified price, but now that she knew it was five hundred taels, she couldn't stop crying: "Well, don't sell the jewelry for now, let's find a place to rest."

Just as he was talking, a low-key green shed carriage suddenly stopped in front of several people, blocking most of the light.The groom was dressed in a neat and clean jersey with sleeves, and his facial features were serious. He got out of the carriage and said in a low voice to them: "Master, let the subordinates come to pick you up."

Jiayu looked at Mrs. Shen, and they both thought of the prince by coincidence.

Thinking of this, Jiayu asked softly, "Your master is..."

The groom made the mouth shape of the prince, and said: "Miss Shen, everything has been arranged properly, please get in the carriage."

When Jiayu heard this, she hesitated, not because she couldn't trust the crown prince, but because His Majesty demoted them to commoners and confiscated their property, the crown prince then sent someone to resettle them.If the news got out, wouldn't it be that the prince openly disobeyed His Majesty.

She thought for a while and said, "Brother, wait a moment."

As she spoke, she dragged Mrs. Shen and the others to discuss in a low voice, but Jiayu's scruples hadn't been uttered yet, Mrs. Shen said first: "We have some money now, so we can find a place to live by ourselves, and don't bother Your Highness with everything."

Zhou was stunned for a moment, the place the prince found for them must be safer and more comfortable, why did the mother-in-law refuse, she thought to herself.

However, both mother-in-law and mother-in-law spoke, and Zhou Shi still nodded in agreement despite her concerns.

Only Shen Qi'an shook his head in disapproval: "Mother, we'd better go with the prince's people." Before they asked the reason, Shen Qi'an explained directly: "My sister's appearance is prone to problems in the market, and besides, the Hou's mansion has been in trouble for so many years.Although we don't fight or grab, there are a few enemies, if they have bad thoughts..."

Madam Shen's face turned pale.

Jiayu took a deep breath, she had to admit that what her elder brother said was right."Mom, let's get in the carriage."

When Madam Shen heard the words, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then agreed in a low voice.

The house arranged by the prince is in an unremarkable alley in the south of the city.There are children playing, and there are several shops selling grain and groceries.

The rooms in the courtyard are clean and tidy, and cannot be compared with the Hou Mansion, but the furnishings are all practical, not only that, but there is also a cook.

After a closer look, it is quite different from the Weiyuanhou's Mansion, which was once entered six times, but it is several times better than what they expected this afternoon.

After the groom settled them down, he left without hesitation.

The cook got the order, and cooked the rice porridge early in the morning, along with a few appetizers, but everyone was exhausted, and everyone had no appetite, so they used some casually, and went back to the room to sit.

The bedding and furnishings in the bedroom are all arranged, there is no need to reorganize, and it is not simple. There are thousands of beds, veils, dressing tables, mercury mirrors, and beauty beds.Jiayu glanced at it casually, but couldn't arouse her interest.

At this moment, there was the sound of the door being knocked outside, Jiayu frowned, and walked out of the room, Shen Qi'an was opening the door, when the Zhu Hong door opened, he saw someone coming, and immediately knelt down.

Jiayu hurried over, the prince was dressed in black, under the moonlight and lamplight, only his face was white.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he helped Shen Qi'an to stand up, and turned his head to the side, just in time to see her.

His eyes were like obsidian soaked in a clear spring, and when he looked over, the sky was full of stars reflected in it.The prince was born good-looking, unparalleled in the world, and a sight to behold, but Jiayu found that he was not only good-looking, but also gave people a sense of security.

And when the prince looked at her, he also told her that he was here, so don't be afraid.

"Don't stand at the door, let's go in." Jiayu avoided the prince's eyes.

Shen Qi'an nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, let's go into the house."

Today's Shen family does not have good Biluochun Longjing tea, so Jiayu went to the kitchen to wash the teacups, poured a cup of warm white water, and put it by the prince's hand.

Seeing the prince, he put his fingers on the wall of the cup that Jiayu's fingertips touched just now, and blamed himself: "I couldn't keep it..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Your Highness has exhausted all our efforts to get our family to escape safely. Stop talking about those things."The five ethnic groups and some officials involved in the case ranged from confiscating their property to beheading their heads for public display or exile for five thousand miles.

Even the governor of Jianghuai, who didn't know about it, was convicted of ineffective supervision because of it.At thirty, he was demoted to common people.

Shen Qi'an not only did not report what he knew, but also about Lin Yi's fish and meat villagers. It was not easy to leave the prison without any torture.

Although Mrs. Shen lived in the back house all year round, her father, brother, husband, lord and son were all officials in the court in the past few decades, so these things are not unclear.The crown prince has devoted all his efforts to their Shen family.

Upon hearing this, the prince no longer mentioned this matter.He took out a few banknotes from his cuffs and handed them the land deeds: "My aunt will accept these things. Although I will not be able to live as well as before, I will still be able to live comfortably."

"How is this possible?" Mrs. Shen was startled and pushed back.

The prince smiled softly: "You don't have to refuse, Aunt Biao, these things are not worth anything to Gu, but you have to spend them anyway."

"But..." Madam Shen looked at Jiayu hesitantly.

Jiayu nodded: "Mother, take it." The prince took out the things, and according to his character, he would never take them back.

The prince looked at Jiayu with a smile: "Cousin, you listen to my cousin."

Mrs. Shen hesitated again and again, seeing that they all said so, she accepted it.

Seeing Mrs. Shen accepting the money, the crown prince said that now that His Majesty is using thunderbolts to purge the officials, and the cranes in the capital are buzzing, don't go out if it is not necessary during this period.Then he said that the old servants of the Hou Mansion will be sold in a few days, and if they want to redeem him, they can just bring money with them.

After these words, the prince stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Qi'an stood up and said, "The grass people will see off His Highness."

The prince waved his hand and said no need, but his eyes fixed on Jiayu.

Jiayu saw it, and she read from the prince's eyes that Jiayu was sending me off, and she also had something to ask the prince in her heart, so she took a step forward: "Brother, I will send you off to Your Highness."

After hearing this, Shen Qi'an frowned slightly, but the prince spoke first, and he said yes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.Even though the crown prince is interested in Jiayu, but the crown prince is always prudent and courteous, and it is impossible for him to do something rebellious.What's more, even if he likes it now, when the prince gets married and has a beautiful wife and concubine, Jiayu will naturally be forgotten. Besides, the current Shen family is in turmoil and cannot do without the protection of the prince.

Said it was to see off the prince, the distance from the main room to the gate was only tens of meters, and it took only a few steps to reach the gate.

The prince stopped in his tracks: "Cousin stopped, she should leave." After saying this, the prince didn't move, his gaze fell directly on Jiayu's face.

Jiayu had something on her mind, she didn't pay attention to the prince's actions, she said softly: "Your Highness, please walk with me.

The prince heard it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The two walked slowly along the dark and silent alleyway, and from time to time, the barking of dogs could be heard through the light gray courtyard wall.

After Jiayu took two steps, she called out to the prince softly: "Your Highness, it's good to be at the court now."

"Nature is good." The prince said slowly, "I know what you mean, but for you, I will think twice before doing anything alone."

As the night wind blew, the prince's voice was just like the night wind, soft and low-pitched, brushing against Jiayu's cheek.

Jiayu was stunned, she raised her head to look at the prince.

The crown prince lowered his head halfway, and the eyes of the two collided. The crown prince stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair: "I may be very busy these days, so I can't see you often."

Jiayu licked her lips, an impossible guess welled up in her heart, she whispered, "Your Highness, I have nothing to look at."

The prince shook his head, and she heard his gentle voice like the mountain breeze in spring: "In my heart, my cousin is the prettiest."

Jiayu was quiet for a few seconds, her heart beating like a drum, and she concealed a smile: "Your Highness will see more people in the future, and you will know that I am not the prettiest."

Her voice is calm and peaceful, but only she knows that at this moment, the river is overturned, the dragon is entering the sea, and there is no peace.

This, how is this possible.
