At that moment, she was familiar with sweeping the silver barley into her sleeve. Then she looked around again to make sure there was no one around. She just walked out of the door with a candlestick in her hand. Went out.
After leaving the door, what she saw was the main hall. There was only an Eight Immortals table and four benches in the main hall. Otherwise, the place is empty.
This layout is the same as the layout of her home.
As she went out, she soon saw more familiar scenes, and she was basically sure that she was back at home.
So the silver barley just now belongs to my family. I am happy for nothing.
And she didn't know how she came back at the moment, but none of that mattered now.
After all, when she was beaten in the yamen just now, she thought that she would die in the yamen sooner or later. Now that she could come back, it was something she couldn't even imagine.
After confirming that this was her home, Mrs. Zhao finally relaxed.
At the same time, she finally felt the burning pain in her butt.
So the reality of this pain only made her more certain that she was not dreaming tonight.
She didn't dare to stay outside anymore. After all, she had nothing in her stomach since she went to the Yamen, and now she was very hungry.
So after some consideration, she finally chose to rush to the kitchen.
There were still some leftovers from the day before yesterday in the kitchen. These things were not rancid, so she didn't care whether they were edible or not. She just rolled the food into her stomach like a wind and cloud.
At the moment, she only ate until she burped, and then she stopped what she was doing.
After drinking and eating, she began to apply medicine to her wounds again.
At the stall where medicine was being dispensed, she was also thinking about her future. It was obvious that such a life could not continue.
My son and husband are both in jail. If I try to get them out, I may lose all my money to get them out, so instead of wasting money to save them, I might as well treat them as dead.
It’s just that the world is too difficult. For an old woman like her, she can hardly find a way to make a living. Although she can also do some starching and laundry work like her sister-in-law, but now she There was no such relationship that could have done this job in the past.
Secondly, she couldn't be so diligent.
However, if she was not diligent, she would not even be able to afford food. After all, her nephew had stolen the family's money, and now she had nothing.
So after much deliberation, she finally decided to take a crooked approach.
At this time, she didn't know why, but then she suddenly remembered what Zhu Yuewu and Zhu Ershao had said to her. That Zhu Ershao only said that if she wanted to save her husband and children, instead of begging him, it would be better to ask her daughter to come. Reliable.
Although she didn't know why she wanted her daughter to be reliable.
But if Er Shao Zhu can say such things, her daughter must be doing well, even if she can't rescue her father and eldest brother.
If he had his back to her, he must have enough food and clothing.
However, the possibility of a maid getting ahead is very low, unless she fills in the house for Mr. Zhu, but even if she fills the house, her status may not be as good as that of the second young master.
So what the second young master said was actually not a joke in the end, right?
And the most important point is that even if she knows that Jixiang is prosperous, she actually doesn't know where Jixiang is prosperous now.
So in the end she still doesn't know anything.
In this dazed mood, she soon fell asleep.
On the other side, after Wu Chengwei rescued Mrs. Zhao, he was actually conflicted in his heart.
He didn't know if he should tell Jixiang about Mrs. Zhao's current situation.
After all, Mrs. Zhao is having a very bad life now. If Mrs. Zhao is in trouble because of this, and Jixiang is not aware of the trouble,
Watching her die at home, he was also worried that this would become a hurdle in Ji Xiang's heart.
However, let’s tell Jixiang about this. Firstly, Mrs. Zhao is too good at being a monster. He is worried that Jixiang will be dragged down by Mrs. Zhao if he really takes care of her. Secondly, Jixiang hates Mrs. Zhao very much now. He is worried that Jixiang will hear Mrs. Zhao. There will be some stress reactions.
So when Wu Chengwei returned to his residence, he was still looking depressed and thoughtful. Seeing him like this, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but take the initiative to say, "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? But there is no progress in tracking today." smoothly."
Hearing Shen Fanghui's question, she happened to be the only one here at this time. Seeing this, Wu Chengwei simply admitted the matter.
"It didn't go well! The witness I was looking for was killed by them, and the information I wanted was cut off, but that's not what I'm worried about right now."
Hearing Wu Chengwei's words, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but ask, "What is that? Can it be more annoying than what you are doing right now?"
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Wu Chengwei couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Yes, because this matter is imminent, and it is also related to auspiciousness."
"Is it related to auspiciousness? What is that?" Shen Fanghui couldn't help but asked Wu Chengwei with concern after hearing that it was about someone around her.
Wu Chengwei only peeked outside the door secretly. After making sure that no one was there, he lowered his voice and told Shen Fanghui what he had seen.
"It's a big event related to auspiciousness, and it's also related to her mother."
"I met her mother today. Her mother is in a very bad condition now. I rescued her mother from a mass grave. Later, after I rescued her, I asked her why she was here. This question made me I know that her nephew had her money stolen from her, and when she tried to get it to no avail, she was almost killed by her own nephew! All in all, her mother’s life was miserable, and I’m wondering whether I should tell Jixiang about this.”
Hearing Wu Chengwei's words, Shen Fanghui felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She thought for a long time, and then she whispered, "I think this matter should be told to Jixiang. After all, she has the right to know. We won't tell you now." She won't be able to choose after the fact, and she will definitely be even more sad if she finds out. As for what to do in the future, it is her own choice."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Wu Chengwei nodded.
And Shen Fanghui then said, "Also, why don't you just leave it to me to handle the matter you mentioned? After all, we are both girls, and it is easier to talk."
Wu Chengwei still agreed with Shen Fanghui's words.
The two of them immediately chose this method, and Shen Fanghui also took the initiative to find Jixiang.
At this time, Jixiang and Mrs. Zhang were handling a sea bass.
With their help, Madam Zhang has temporarily rented a large courtyard in a family's house, and Madam Zhang is currently living in this courtyard. They also followed Madam Zhang and settled here smoothly.
Seeing Ji Xiang and Madam Zhang talking and laughing, Shen Fanghui felt a little bit intolerable, but after thinking about it, she finally called Ji Xiang's name, "Jixiang!"
Hearing Shen Fanghui's call, Jixiang couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him. At this moment, Jixiang could be said to be truly carefree.
"Miss, what did you call me for?" Ji Xiang turned around and asked happily.
Shen Fanghui did not walk over, she just waved to Jixiang.
"Jixiang, come here, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Shen Fanghui waving, Jixiang didn't know Shen Fanghui's intention, but Jixiang still cooperated and walked to Shen Fanghui. At the moment, she just took the initiative to say to Shen Fanghui, "Miss, why did you ask me to come over?"
Shen Fanghui heard this and whispered, "It's about your mother."
"Mother?" As soon as Ji Xiang heard this title, the expression on his face froze.
It was obvious that Ji Xiang was very unhappy at the moment.
"Miss, why are you mentioning her? I don't want to know about her, and she is not my mother."
After hearing Ji Xiang's words and seeing Ji Xiang's reaction, Shen Fanghui was not surprised at all.
She only whispered to Jixiang, "Jixiang, I know you are very dissatisfied with what your family is doing, but your family is your family, and you are you. Now that you have escaped, they can't do anything to you! So I I feel that I still need to tell you their current situation."
Hearing this, Ji Xiang only said, "My brother and my father were imprisoned. I know this. You don't need to tell me. As for the old woman, with her stingy and evil temper, I I think she must have had a pretty good life in a short period of time. Isn’t their life just like this? What else did you specifically tell ***? Anyway, I don’t plan to get involved in anything among them.”
Facing Ji Xiang's words, Shen Fanghui just whispered, "Of course, no matter what choice you make, I will support your decision, but your mother's situation is much worse than what you said." Already."
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Jixiang stopped saying anything.
It can be seen that although she is against her parents, she still cares about them.
Shen Fanghui then whispered, "Your mother was thrown into a mass grave today and almost buried alive."
Hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Ji Xiang looked at Shen Fanghui in shock.
"How could this happen?" Jixiang said in surprise.
"It was your eldest brother and his son who did this. I heard that it was because this nephew stole all the money from your family. Your mother was so angry that she went over to argue with them, not wanting them to treat your mother because they didn't want to pay back the money. A fatal blow. But although your mother was beaten, she did not die. Fortunately, Brother Wu showed up in time, so your mother was saved. But your mother's current situation may not be good. After all, she later sued for this matter. She was rejected by the official and was beaten up by the county magistrate. In addition, all your mother's money was confiscated by her nephew, so she is actually penniless now."
