Chapter 315 She is a very lucky person!
The prison of the magistrate's office was crowded with hundreds of members of the Xie family.
The weather was hot and the prison was dark and humid. Occasionally, rats and cockroaches would crawl through, causing the women to scream wildly.
It had been two days since she was caught in the cell. Shen was sitting calmly on the hay while the mouse jumped over her skirt. She had no expression on her face and was even interested in admiring the mouse's shiny hair.
"It is said that Sioux City has outstanding people and the women are smaller than those in Beidi. Why are the mice so fat?"
As if sensing the malice in Shen's eyes, the mouse shook its body and quickly fled towards the corner.
Next to Ms. Shen, sat a girl with a delicate appearance and a bookish air. She said with a slight sadness on her eyebrows: "Second Aunt, where are these bandits from? What's the situation of Third Brother in the capital..."
Xie Wei's father is the prefect of Su City. In terms of family ties, she is Xie Zhao's cousin.
After the bandits broke into the city and robbed the caravan's property, the people were so frightened that they dared not go out, and the city fell into chaos.
Xie Wei never expected that, relying on their large number of people, these bandits would bribe people in the government and get their father's idea.
In fact, the entire Xie family is the target of bandits!
Mrs. Shen sighed and said: "The south of the Yangtze River is rich and there are many bandits nearby, but where have you ever seen so many people gathered in one place?"
For the sake of profit, there may be a bigger master behind it.
When bandits enter the city and occupy the magistrate's office first, they are not just trying to make money.
After Shen figured it out, he suspected that it was related to the situation in the capital.
"Then, will it be harmful to us..."
Xie Wei's face turned pale. She heard that the bandits were raping women. She was already engaged and was supposed to get married at the end of May. With such a thing, she didn't know whether the marriage would be possible.
At the moment, marriage is a trivial matter, and whether or not he will live is unknown.
Mrs. Shen closed her eyes, sighed softly and said, "Weier, if your fiancé-in-law dislikes you for this, it's okay not to have this marriage."
The Xie family members were caught, like fish on a chopping board, and fell into the hands of bandits, and they had already lost the initiative.
Shen speculated that if the bandits were related to the mastermind behind the rebellion in the capital, they would not kill the Xie family members for the time being.
Keep it, escort it to the capital, and negotiate a deal with Xie Zhao.
"Second Aunt, wouldn't that be detrimental to Third Brother?"
Xie Wei lowered her head, feeling sad.
The food brought by the bandits was all rotten, and it was left in a corner overnight. The smell was disgusting.
Xie Wei caught a glimpse of the fly falling on it and was filled with sadness.
"Xie Wei, why are you crying?"
Xie Wei's mother-in-law, Sun Shi, looked majestic and reprimanded like the eldest daughter-in-law of the clan, "You are a member of the Xie family. Remember not to bring shame to your ancestors at any time."
The Xie family is a century-old family in Jiangnan with strict rules.
The girls in the clan have been educated and taught rules by their mothers since they were young. Whether they walk, sit or lie down, they must follow the standards of noble girls from aristocratic families. Even if they are placed in the capital, they will never lose to the high sects.
"My mother said so."
Xie Wei lowered her head, looking like she knew she was wrong.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Shen changed the subject and said, "Sister-in-law, my in-laws and Yuan He are both in the capital, but Yuzhu is in the north. There is no news from both sides."
Xie's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sun, looked serious and said solemnly: "You are worried..."
No need to ask, Mrs. Shen must be worried about her son Yuan He, who is the backbone of the Xie family.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen took over the conversation naturally and said, "I'm worried about Yuzhu. My daughter-in-law is very fragile, and I don't know if the people around her are taking good care of Yuzhu. It's bitterly cold in the north, and there's no access to green and yellow. How does Yuzhu survive in the winter?" My daughter-in-law always reports good news but not bad news..."
Sun: "..."
Because Xie Zhao is the most promising in the clan, according to the rules of the Xie family, Shen is the wife of the clan leader.
Mrs. Shen went to the capital, and she didn't know what kind of ecstasy was poured into her. Instead of worrying about her own son, she was worried about an outsider, which made her brain wet.
"Brother and sister, you are in jail yourself, why are you still worried about outsiders?"
Ms. Sun broke her head and couldn't figure it out. She had always been wary of her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Shen immediately became displeased. She had always been kind and could not help but reply: "What are you talking about? My jade beads are no worse than my own daughter, so why are you still an outsider?"
"What are you worried about Yuanhe?"
Mrs. Shen sneered, "Don't underestimate our Yuzhu, she is a very lucky person!"
"So what if you're lucky? We borrowed all the money in Jiangnan?"
Mrs. Sun was not without resentment in her heart because she did not become the patriarch's wife.
Her daughter-in-law came from a small family in the south of the Yangtze River and was not liked. Her status was far inferior to that of the Jiang family.
In the past, Ms. Sun heard that Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu were not in good terms with each other, and they were always in a weird mood.
When Shen returned to Jiangnan and talked about the situation in the capital, Sun felt very sad.
Sun even blamed Xie Zhao and said sarcastically: "Isn't it true that Yuan He had perfect plans, so why did he make such a big mistake?"
All the agencies have been exhausted, but the Xie family members have not been imprisoned.
Xie Wei couldn't listen anymore, her face turned red and she was bleeding, and she muttered: "Mom, you don't consider yourself a noble lady, so you have to say such harsh words."
It is a good thing for the Xie family that Niangsun cannot be the wife of the clan leader.
Otherwise, the clan won't be able to do well for those who seem to know the rules but are petty.
Mrs. Sun was exposed by her daughter. She couldn't keep her face and had to feel depressed.
After being detained for two days, cracks began to appear in the harmonious Xie family.
Everyone's heart is hanging, and they can't sleep at night, not knowing what the next fate will be.
"Mother Shen, do you hear any movement outside?"
Just now, the guarding bandit ran out in a panic, and then there was the sound of blades clashing.
Shen paid attention to the movements outside and made sure that she heard correctly.
At this time, Ms. Sun ignored the bickering and put her ear to the iron railing and said, "It's chaos outside!"
Could it be that reinforcements from nearby cities are coming?
The Xie family members looked at each other with a hint of hope.
About half an hour later, the cell door opened, and a thin beam of light shone in.
Xie Wei rubbed her eyes, her heart beating faster. She stared at the door and almost didn't dare to breathe.
The first person to walk in was a young and beautiful woman wearing a peony dress. She looked like a young girl without makeup, but like a hibiscus emerging from water, which was incompatible with the dark and damp dungeon.
Jiang Yuzhu saw Xie Wei first, and was about to ask if the Xie family members were being held here, when she saw Shen with sharp eyes.
"mother!"
Holding up the hem of her skirt, Jiang Yuzhu trotted forward.
A fresh and floral scent spread, and Xie Wei hurriedly adjusted her skirt. She had seen a fairy!
"Jade beads?"
Shen opened her eyes, closed them again, and whispered, "It must be a dream, I miss Yuzhu so much..."
"Mother Shen!"
Jiang Yuzhu had no choice but to look at Aunt Shen. Unexpectedly, Aunt Shen also quickly closed her eyes, not believing that she would appear at all.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, because she was less than three months pregnant before setting off, and Yan Lin insisted on not allowing her to spread the news, so Jiang Yuzhu didn't send a letter to the Xie family.
"Hongjin, what are you doing standing still? Break the big lock open."
Jiang Yuzhu almost vomited due to the unpleasant smell, but finally held back and gave the order.
