Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

After waiting for a while, the old woman's voice came from inside, "I'm here, wait a moment."

After a while, she saw the door open.

The old woman thought it was the neighbor next door, but when she saw it was Chuntao, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

When she saw the person behind her, she was even more shocked. She quickly opened the door and asked nervously, "The young lady is here too?"

When she saw the official saluting to Xiao Lengyue yesterday, she had already guessed that this person's identity was not simple.

I had originally planned to bring my old man with me when I went to set up the stall at night, but I didn’t expect that they would come to my door first.

Seeing how nervous she was, Xiao Lengyue curled the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Today, we want to ask the old man to help us weave a doll."

When the old woman heard this, she nodded blankly, then turned sideways and let Xiao Lengyue and the others in.

After Xiao Lengyue walked in, she saw the house was a little crooked.

The three connected rooms were now tilted to one side, and the kitchen next to the house, except for a bracket, had been completely damaged by the flush.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the simple stove and table built in the corridor, and understood everything.

What surprised her the most was that the tiles on the roof had fallen all over the place. The tiles on one room were almost gone, but the tiles on the other two rooms, although broken, could still provide shelter from wind and rain.

Seeing Xiao Lengyue looking at her own house, the old woman said with some embarrassment: "Miss, my humble home is too simple. How about we go to the inn to help you weave?"

Xiao Lengyue shook her head, "Nothing, grandma cleaned it up very well."

Although the whole house looked like it had been hit by a flood, it had been cleaned very well and there was no unpleasant smell.

Although it looks very shabby now, you can still see its former warmth.

Seeing that Xiao Lengyue really didn't mind, the old woman hurried back to the house and brought out three stools.

When Chuntao saw the exquisite stool woven from bamboo, her eyes were filled with shock.

The bamboo stool that the old woman took out was smooth and delicate, without any burrs, and its color was a light and warm light yellow.

There are some simple and lively patterns carved on the edge of the bamboo stool. These patterns flow as naturally as flowing water, adding a bit of artistic charm to the bamboo stool.

It is a very simple and common bamboo stool, but it looks very beautiful.

After the old woman took out the stool, she brought some tea. After everything was done, she looked at Xiao Lengyue and said, "Miss, I'll go get the old man out right away."

After the old woman finished speaking, she turned and went back into the house. When she came out again, she was seen pushing an old man out.

The old man looked very kind. Although he was a little thin, he looked very energetic.

When the old man saw Xiao Lengyue and Song Ye, he guessed that these two people were the noble persons his wife had mentioned yesterday.

He clasped his fists and apologized, "My legs and feet are not very convenient, I hope you can forgive me."

Song Ye was very fond of his temperament and said with a slight smile: "It's okay. We were rude to come here suddenly today."

The old man waved his hand quickly and was about to speak when he heard Song Ye say, "My wife likes the dolls you knit. I have to trouble you today."

"No trouble, no trouble."

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to ask his wife to get the bamboo sticks, but he saw that she had already taken out everything he needed.

Xiao Lengyue watched them getting along, a smile flashing in her eyes.

After the old woman had taken everything, she sat down, and seeing this, Xiao Lengyue also took off her scarf.

When they saw her appearance, the old couple were amazed, but given their age, they calmly started weaving after a while.

Xiao Lengyue looked at the yard and sighed softly, "If there hadn't been a flood, this yard would have been very beautiful."

When the old woman heard this, she glanced at the yard and sighed softly, "As long as the person is still alive, that's all."

Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly when she heard this, "Heishui Town is in the flood, are there a lot of people affected?"

The old woman shook her head and said, “Because there is no wall here, when the flood came, almost everyone ran to the mountains, so not many people were killed.

But because the roads on the mountain are difficult to travel, there are more people injured.”

When the old woman said this, she glanced at Xiao Lengyue, and hesitated slightly when she thought of her identity.

Xiao Lengyue naturally saw her expression, but did not urge her. Instead, he waited for her to think clearly about whether she should tell him about these things.

The old woman was indeed hesitant, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, she told her everything.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Lengyue finally understood that the old man's leg was hit by a rock in the flood when he was evacuating while trying to save a child, and he could not recover.

Seeing the sad look on the old woman's face, Xiao Lengyue said, "The court has provided subsidies to the people whose houses were destroyed and who were injured. Didn't you receive it?"

When the old woman heard this, her eyes instantly moistened, and she choked up and said, “I know, but this money has never reached us ordinary people.

My son worked as a carpenter in the Liu Mansion next door. When he heard the news, he hurried back to tell the people. Unexpectedly, he was arrested by the county magistrate, and when he came back he was covered in wounds.

We didn't dare to leave him here, so we had him taken to the next county."

When Xiao Lengyue heard this, she didn't say much, but said: "Don't worry, your son's beating will not be in vain."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Chuntao, after leaving the address of the inn to the old man, hurriedly followed him out.

After Xiao Lengyue got on the carriage, he ordered in a cold voice: "Go to the government office."

When Long San heard this, he didn't dare to delay at all and drove the carriage towards the government office.

The old woman watched them leave, and when she returned home and saw her old man, she asked worriedly, "Old man, do you think that young master will help us?"

The old woman said these words to Xiao Lengyue because she felt that they were not ordinary people, especially Song Ye, who had a sense of righteousness.

The old man naturally understood his wife's thoughts, but according to his intuition, that woman was the most powerful one among these people.

He did not tell his wife about this, but changed the subject and said, "There is no bamboo stick left. Go get me some."

The old woman was interrupted like this and forgot what had just happened.

When Xiao Lengyue arrived near the government office, he saw the people all lining up and talking to the officials about Wang Fu.

She didn't even have to go down to hear the people's grievances. After eating for a while, she went back to the inn.

As soon as she returned, she started to ask people to investigate the person behind the scenes. She couldn't believe that just one branch of the Wang family could have such a powerful force.
