Mrs. Qin understood that she was unwilling to be wronged. She was obviously falsely accused by others, but she had to pay such a heavy price by having her home confiscated and her family exterminated.
The old lady let out a long sigh, "My child, this is officialdom. Your father and brother have been cautious year after year, walking on thin ice, just to maintain the status quo. Our family tree is big and attracts the wind. Even if we are careful, we will not escape the disaster we are facing now." …”
Mrs. Qin looked at her silent granddaughter. Although she felt distressed, she had to teach her to see the current situation clearly.
"The people belong to our family, and the things are also in our family. The person behind the scenes has not shown up at all. Who can prove that it existed? Maybe it was compiled by Zhongnu to protect the chief. The people and the stolen goods are together, this has become evidence of guilt."
"The officials of the Ministry of Punishment have no friendship with our family. If the people behind the scenes can arrange such a careful frame-up, how can they not arrange good people in the Ministry of Punishment? Is it possible that your father will reverse the case in the Ministry of Punishment and fail in his success?"
"Sigh... the opponent's move did not happen overnight. If we want to blame it, we can only blame it on our carelessness and following other people's ways."
Qin Xuanyi bit her delicate lips, unwilling but powerless, "Then, is there really no possibility of turning over? Can we just watch the evil people laugh, and we can only protect ourselves in embarrassment?"
"It's difficult..." Mrs. Qin shook her head and sighed, "The people behind the scenes are very cautious. According to what the boy you like heard from the boy, they have never seen the person behind the scenes, and they want to find him out. It is even more difficult, and all your father can do now is to prove his innocence and protect himself."
The old lady was originally sarcastic about a certain boy, but the little girl was thin-skinned. When she heard the old lady's words, "That boy you like," she added a touch of shame and annoyance to her originally uneasy heart.
"I, I don't like him that much either. Grandma, please don't talk nonsense~" Qin Xuanyi retorted subconsciously, and then said in a panic when Old Mrs. Qin looked at her half-smilingly.
"So in addition to dad proving his innocence, if we can directly catch the person behind the scenes, our family will be safe, right?"
Old Mrs. Qin nodded in affirmation, "Catching the person behind the scenes will naturally prove that our family was framed, but didn't grandma just say that? If you can't be caught, that bastard didn't leave any traces. Where did you ask your father to go? Arrests?"
The little girl half lowered her head, but she remembered what the man said to her before leaving. She didn't understand it at the time, but now I think that's what he meant, right?
When Mrs. Qin saw her granddaughter lowering her head in silence and raising her eyebrows, she noticed her quietly blushing face and suddenly understood, "Does that kid have a way?"
When Qin Xuanyi looked at her grandmother with a bright look, she knew that she had seen through most of it.
She bit her pink lip shyly and said softly, "I, I don't know either. He said he would make me fine. I don't know what he meant..."
Even if the old lady didn't like a certain brat, she couldn't hide her hope at this moment and expressed surprise, "Since that brat can suddenly expose such a secret, he must have found something. His skills are not ordinary. "
Qin Xuanyi also nodded, she thought so too.
This can be regarded as the only good news since the incident. Mrs. Qin finally had a little breather from the heavy stone on her heart.
She twisted the rosary in her hand, closed her eyes and recited a few words silently. When she opened her eyes again, she looked at her little granddaughter who was bowing her head in silence beside her, and said half-jokingly,
"Stupid girl, why don't you ask more about serious things like this? You should listen less to the sweet talk around that kid."
