The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

The handkerchief in Yuhua's hand fell to the ground: "Beicheng is also my hometown now. My whole family is in Beicheng. My parents-in-law, my husband, my daughter Niuniu, my two younger brothers-in-law and my sister-in-law are all in the Li village in Beicheng."

Shang Xi felt uneasy when she heard this. If a large number of Yatuo people moved into North City, would Uncle Chen's family be persecuted? The Yatuo people were not only barbaric, but also cruel.

Seeing that Yuhua still looked like she knew everything, Sister Wu quickly asked, "Yuhua, didn't you receive any letters from home?"

Yuhua's eyes turned red and her mouth trembled. "Recently... recently my family wrote to me. I received a letter before the New Year. At that time, everything was fine at home. No one mentioned the tax increase or the war. My wife just told me to do good things for Shang Xi and Cheng Feng in Fengqi. She didn't say anything else!"

Sister Wu said, "That should be because your boss didn't tell you. In fact, the tax has been increasing for a long time, but it has increased again recently. The increase is getting more and more outrageous. This is making life difficult for everyone."

Yuhua was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. "Sister Wu, please come into the room and get me a piece of paper and a pen. I'm going to write a letter to my husband to ask what's going on."

"Yuhua, don't write to me now!" Sister Wu hesitated to speak.

Shang Xi asked: "Sister Wu, do you know anything else? Tell us what you know so that we can think of a solution."

"Yes, Sister Wu, why don't you let me write a letter? How can I contact them if I don't write a letter?"

"Yato is frantically snatching things, and Dalang is desperately conscripting men. There are so many male laborers in your family, maybe they will all be conscripted to serve as soldiers."

"What?" Yuhua was so confused that she almost fainted. "Shang Xi, please arrange a carriage for me. I want to go home. I haven't been home for several years."

Shang Xi heard that this was a desperate attempt to find a cure, so he tried to dissuade her, "Yuhua, don't be anxious. Now is not the time to go back to North City. If you run into Yatuo's soldiers on the way, you will be dead."

Sister Wu also advised, "Yuhua, your Beicheng is almost in ruins. What can you do if you go back? You might end up with nothing. Now many people cannot afford the land tax and are fleeing. Maybe someone in your family is also fleeing."

"Jump? Where to? You should at least tell me. Where am I going to find them?"

"Yuhua, your whole family is in Beicheng, why do you stay in Fengqi?" Sister Wu felt more and more that Yuhua was a big-hearted person. How could a woman abandon her family and stay in Fengqi?

"My husband has been building a hot spring for the dog emperor of Dalang. It took three or four years for him to build it. I didn't see him. At that time, Cheng Youning was still young. I was worried about him, so I came to beg for mercy. Sister Wu, didn't we come together? Didn't you arrange to go home?"

"Our situations are different. My family is waiting for me to make money. My son and daughter-in-law are all counting on me to support them. You are so young, why bother? If the war separates us, it will be difficult to see each other again!"

"I didn't want to either, it was all because of that damn hot spring. It took three or four years to build, and it was only completed the year before last. But at that time, there were wars everywhere, so my Chen Qingliao wrote to me and asked me to stay in Fengqi and wait for the war to settle down. I listened to him. I thought that Dalang would be fine after asking for peace, but why are they still so stubborn? They really made me suffer!" Yuhua finally burst into tears. "Where can I find them!"

Shang Xi said, "Yuhua, don't cry. Let's go back to the palace first. I'll write a letter to Uncle Chen and see if I can deliver it."

Yuhua cried and said, "Aren't you going to find the Imperial Master?"

Even so, Shang Xi still had no time to look for the imperial teacher. Her son only suffered superficial injuries. If his muscles and bones were not broken, he would be able to get out of bed in ten days at most, or seven days at least. The child was not that fragile. The most important thing now was to find out the situation of Uncle Chen's family.

"Go home and write a letter first, Sister Wu, what did you just say to me? You don't want to go back to your hometown too, do you?"

"I won't go back. My son and daughter-in-law have already taken all the gold and silver in the house and are on the way, saying they are coming to seek refuge with me."

"Okay, this is a smart person. I guess Uncle Chen and his family are on the way. I'll go home and write a letter first."

"Shang Xi, my son and daughter-in-law are here. Is there anything suitable for them to do?"

"There's not much to do, let's wait until they arrive safely. Sister Wu, we can't delay any longer. I have to go home and write a letter."

Just like that, Shang Xi and Yuhua left in a hurry.

When she returned to Prince Pang's mansion, Yuhua was still sobbing.

The two of them happened to run into Cheng Feng who was about to go out.

Cheng Feng asked: "Are you two going to the Prince's Mansion?"

Shang Xi nodded.

This is really confusing. "You two just went to the Prince's Mansion, why is one of you crying and the other frowning? My son should be fine!" Cheng Feng never thinks badly of Cheng Youning. Apart from being punished, the child has never encountered any major disasters.

"Your son isn't doing well either. He had a fever and was talking nonsense last night. Sister Wu said the imperial physician checked him out and he took medicine, but he just wouldn't eat."

"Is the food not tasty?"

"Sister Wu cooked everything he liked, so it was impossible for him not to like it. I heard that his lips were cracked and his mouth was ulcerated."

"Fire?"

"It's all because of Huang Chenming's dismissal. Cheng Feng, if you have time, go find your uncle and ask for mercy. Punishment is punishment, but don't change the master. The child is very angry. This time he realizes his mistake."

"I'll go to the palace right now to see if my uncle has calmed down. If he has, I'll mention it. If not, just wait a little longer. Youning's butt will probably need ten days to recover, so there's no rush to go to class. I'll go to the street and buy him some oral medicine to bring to our son."

"Sister Wu means Youning is eager to study. After being beaten with a stick yesterday, he came back and clamored to go to early class."

"Then I'll mention it to my uncle later. At most I'll get scolded. By the way, why is Yuhua sniffling? There are many people coming in and out of our house, especially those gossipy women who are the best at making up stories. Don't let them see it."

Who would want to cry if there was nothing sad? Shang Xi told Cheng Feng what happened in Beicheng.

After hearing this, Cheng Feng was very calm, "Just wait, they are already on their way to beg."

"How do you know they're on their way?"

Yuhua also asked: "Yes, Cheng Feng, how did you know?"

"Wrote me a letter."

"I wrote to you, why didn't you write to me?"

Yuhua was puzzled, and Shangxi couldn't understand it either, "Cheng Feng, how did the letter get to you? When did the letter come? Why didn't you mention it before? Where's the letter? Take it out and let me see it."
