After leaving a hurried letter to his son, Huangfu Lianyi followed her husband Yin Qianhua, took his own bodyguard, and ran out of Yanzhou Mansion overnight, heading straight for the capital.
Huangfu Lianyi and her husband were sitting in the carriage, and young guards were all riding around the carriage.
Because there were too many things to prepare, and he had to travel back and forth between Yanzhou Prefecture and Teng County in a very short period of time, Huangfu Lianyi was extremely tired at this time.
Amidst the rolling sound of the wheels, she put her head on her husband's shoulder and fell asleep leaning against him.
Yin Ganhua lowered his eyes, looked at his wife's messy black hair, and pursed his lips unconsciously.
Carefully, he stretched out his hand to grab the folded blanket on the side, covered his wife with a gentle movement, and finally slowly held his wife's waist, trying to make her posture as comfortable as possible.
He turned his face sideways, pressed it against his wife's hair, and slowly closed his eyes.
Since he took up the position of official in Yanzhou Prefecture, he has rarely had such an opportunity to completely relax his mind and body and get along with his wife quietly without any worries.
From the first day he entered the Yanzhou government office, he had an ominous premonition.
He has always known his own strengths, and he understands that he is not like his cousin who can deduce the truth of a case with only minimal evidence, no matter how difficult the case is.
He also understood that when faced with various bribes, he did not have enough family background to back him up and could refuse them forcefully.
He can only adopt a more tactful approach and try to stick to the bottom line without damaging other people's face.
Because he knew clearly that if he, who was not a genius, wanted to detect every case in a down-to-earth manner in Yanzhou Prefecture, he could not make too many enemies.
Before the incident happened to the Wen family, he was not considered a member of the Wen family at all.
Although he and Wen Xian were nominal cousins, they were only the adopted sons of Wen Xian's distant aunt's family. He and Wen Xian got close because they had similar interests and ambitions.
He does not want to rely too much on the Wen family's reputation.
After something happened to the Wen family, he was included in Wen Xian's close sect by Jin Yiwei. If he was not careful, Jin Yiwei would take advantage of the loophole and seize the opportunity to deal with it together.
It was not that he was unwilling to appeal for the Wen family's grievances and mobilize his connections to save them. It's just because he has more important missions that need to be completed in Yanzhou Mansion.
As long as he dares to cry out for the Wen family, he will become the next target of Jinyiwei's attack. If we get to that point, not only will Wen Zhuyun and Yin Nuo be unable to be protected, but even the clues found in Yanzhou Mansion will be discarded.
Of course, the most critical thing is the whereabouts of Yin Xianxian.
When he thought about his daughter, Yin Qianhua's heart clenched.
The other hand on his knee also suddenly clenched tightly.
He closed his eyes, bit his lip, and swore secretly in his heart.
When he comes to Beijing this time, he must break new ground!
In order to wash away the grievances of the Wen family; to thoroughly expose the huge conspiracy that was carefully investigated in Yanzhou Mansion, and make it known to the world; and to completely rescue the daughter Yin Xianxian from the devil's cave, success or failure can only be achieved now and only in the future. This move!
Huangfu Lianyi on the other side also slept very uneasily.
Her mind was in a state of confusion.
On one hand, she was worried about Yin Nuo, who was taking Wen Xiaojun with her, and on the other hand, she was worried about her husband, who was desperate to make a desperate move. However, in addition to these, there is another thing that cannot be explained to outsiders, and that is her most beloved and precious daughter.
But her body was really tired and anxious. With her pillow on her husband's shoulder, as the carriage shook slightly, she fell deeper and deeper into sleep, and finally lost consciousness completely.
In a daze, her body seemed to be rocking back and forth with the bumps of the carriage.
At this moment, she fell into a dream, into a terrifying nightmare that had been with her for almost half her life.
Everything stems from a major flood twenty years ago.
At that time, she was not called Huangfu Lianyi, her real name was Wang Lian'er, and she and Wen Zhujun's mother, her nominal sister, Huangfu Shuiqing, were neighbors in the same village.
Of course, Huangfu Shuiqing is not my sister’s real name. My sister’s real name is Xie Qingxin.
Twenty years ago, the two of them were only sixteen years old. Because they both showed off their skills as prostitutes, the two girls would get together when they had free time, spinning and weaving together, and doing embroidery together.
After finishing her sewing, Wang Lianer dressed up as a boy and went to town with her father, a hunter, to sell.
The Wang family only has one daughter, Wang Lian'er. Fortunately, Wang Orion is a carefree person with a very cheerful and open-minded personality. He not only loves this daughter very much, but also teaches her hunting and archery when nothing happens, and raises her like a boy.
Wang Lian'er couldn't bear to go against her old father's wishes. On the surface, she learned everything her father taught her with her heart. But in her heart, she wanted to be a little girl who stayed close to home, doing embroidery and planting grass. Because of this, she had a particularly good chat with her neighbor's girl, Xie Qingxin.
However, it is always right to listen to her father's words, otherwise she would not have the chance to travel around town selling goods as a boy.
In addition, she and Sister Qingxin designed many new patterns that no one else had, so their embroidery was particularly popular. After selling the money, she would share it equally with her sister when she got back.
My sister always remembers the hard work she went out to sell goods and is unwilling to take them all. Even if Wang Lian'er forced her sister to collect half of the money in the end, her sister would always bring a lot of fresh eggs and good wine to Uncle and Aunt Wang the next day.
These two are the favorites of the royal father, so every time, the Wang family happily accepts them.
Because of this, Wang Lian'er treats her sister Xie Qingxin better. Although the two sisters are not related by blood, they are far better than their own biological children.
At that time, Wang Lian'er and Xie Qingxin made an appointment, and the two of them helped sew the most beautiful and novel wedding dress for each other.
However, God did not fulfill his wishes, and all the peace and beauty were washed away by a ruthless flood.
It was a flood that could have been avoided, but due to human control, the embankments broke deliberately, bringing disaster to many villages downstream of the river.
When the flood rushed into the village, it was late at night and everyone was sleeping soundly.
Only Miss Wang Lian'er and Miss Xie Qingxin had to rush to make the latest wedding back and other embroidery for a wealthy family in the city, so they lived together and sewed it all night.
At that time, they had no idea that a ruthless massacre was quietly approaching, with the wails of countless innocent souls, completely rewriting their lives.
