The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Mr. Xie understood this principle, but on the balance between family affection and reason, he could not give up the blood ties. He could not sit idly by and watch his wife and son being imprisoned, even if all this was caused by his family's momentary impulse.

"Tianyi, your father has no choice but to do this. Since Chen Xi is your fiancée, we will become a family in the future. She will definitely listen to you and help us get through this difficult time."

Mr. Xie's voice was full of fatigue and expectation, and he tried to persuade Xie Tianyi with the possible harmony in the future.

However, Xie Tianyi just responded coldly: "That may not be the case."

In his opinion, although Chen Xi would legitimately become his wife, the emotional foundation between the two was weak. Moreover, Chen Xi's independent thinking that transcended the times made it difficult for him to predict her true thoughts.

Even if they can really get married in the future, Xie Tianyi believes that he will be the one who listens to the other party's opinions more often.

"Tianyi, father begs you, father kneels down for you!"

Before Mr. Xie finished speaking, his body was already trembling slightly, and he was about to kneel down. His weather-beaten hands tightly grasped his clothes, revealing his inner struggle and helplessness.

Xie Tianyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and the coldness in his eyes melted instantly. He quickly reached out to support his father who was about to kneel down, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Finally, he sighed, his voice low and firm: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Chen Xi. From now on, Xie Tianyi will have nothing to do with the Xie family."

Mr. Xie's lips trembled slightly, and he obviously had not expected his son to say such decisive words. His wrinkled eyes were full of disbelief and pain.

Seeing this, Xie Tianyi's heart was also in turmoil, but in recent years, the behavior of other members of the Xie family has repeatedly touched his bottom line, and the warmth and friendship of the past have long been worn away by the erosion of time.

The county government office is majestic and solemn with its carved beams and painted buildings.

As the daughter of a county lieutenant, Mo Shiyu has been accustomed to the convenience brought by power since childhood. With the help of her father's power, it is just a small matter for her to release a few people.

After careful arrangements and consultations, Mo Shiyu, accompanied by two maids in gorgeous costumes and two capable servants, entered the dark place where the prisoners were held.

The day before yesterday, Mo Shiyu accidentally witnessed the scene of officials escorting Qin and others on a busy street. Qin cried loudly in the crowd. Her sad cry was mixed with pride in her son Xie Tianyi's identity and a desire for help. She begged the officials to show leniency. This scene happened to fall into Mo Shiyu's ears, which gave her a different plan.

At this moment, inside the prison, dim light shines through the narrow window lattices, barely illuminating this desperate space.

"Mom, what should we do? Chen Xi actually reported us to the police and had us arrested."

Xie Laoer was restless in the prison, running around like a headless fly, looking for a way out that didn't exist at all.

Qin was also filled with indignation. Although her family lived in poverty, it was a place full of warmth and freedom after all, far better than this dark, damp, sunlightless prison.

In this depressing environment, Qin felt unprecedented despair, as if the whole world had closed its doors to her.

Qin, who was standing by, felt pain in her mouth and tongue due to the previous conflict, and could only utter intermittent sobs, which sounded particularly desolate in the silent cell.

Qin, on the other hand, remained silent, feeling extremely uneasy.

After all, it was she who came up with the idea of ​​instigating Boss Xie to go to Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi's residence.

If everyone realizes this and points the finger at her, the consequences will be disastrous.

Inside the cell, everyone hung their heads, frustration and despair intertwined, cries were heard one after another, and the air was filled with despair and helplessness.

Mo Shiyu was dressed in gorgeous clothes and stepped into this dirty place. She couldn't help but cover her nose and mouth with a delicate silk handkerchief to block out the pungent smell.

If it weren't for Xie Tianyi's mother, she would probably never want to set foot in such a place in her entire life.

When he arrived at the cell where the Liu family members were imprisoned, Mo Shiyu did not rush to state his purpose, but chose to observe them silently.

The more she looked, the more she felt that these people were rude and uneducated, which was in stark contrast to Xie Tianyi's gentle and elegant image.

Thinking of this, Mo Shiyu couldn't help but imagine her future life with Xie Tianyi.

She would never be willing to stay in this secluded village for the rest of her life. Once Xie Tianyi passed the imperial examination, she would go to the capital with him to start a new life.

As for her parents who stayed in the countryside, perhaps it would be better for them to have less contact with her. After all, she was thoughtful and far-sighted, and had already planned her own life blueprint.

"Cough-cough-"

Mo Shiyu coughed lightly, breaking the dull atmosphere in the cell and successfully attracting the attention of everyone in the Liu family.

"Hey, girl, girl."

Qin was the first to react and called out anxiously, hoping to attract the attention of this strange woman.

"Miss, please help me find Xie Tianyi. He is a scholar and is studying in the county academy. We were arrested purely because of a misunderstanding."

Qin's words were full of pleading and expectation.

"Yes, little girl, please help me find my son. I am Xie Tianyi's mother. If he finds out, he will definitely come to save us."

Qin quickly agreed, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

After hearing this, Mo Shiyu deliberately showed a surprised expression, as if she was surprised by their identities.

"Are you really relatives of Master Xie?"

She asked in feigned confusion.

Everyone in the prison looked at each other in bewilderment, but they were secretly glad in their hearts that this seemingly noble woman actually knew Xie Tianyi. This was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for them.

"Girl, do you really know Xie Tianyi? He is our brother. Please tell him that we are locked up here. It's all his wife's fault. Please, girl."

Boss Xie pleaded anxiously, with a hint of urgency and pleading in his tone.

At this moment, they no longer cared about their previous breakup with Xie Tianyi. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would grab it tightly, even if it meant asking a stranger for help.

"In that case, I will just ask the yamen runner to let you out."

Mo Shiyu pretended to be calm, and her words revealed an unquestionable authority.

When Qin and the others heard this, they were shocked and even more incredulous.

"Girl, what did you say? Can you let us out?"

There was a tremor in Qin's voice, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Mo Shiyu blinked and nodded slightly to confirm.

"Of course, wait a moment. I'll go inform the jailer and everything will be resolved."

After saying that, Mo Shiyu turned around and left with her servants, leaving everyone in the prison stunned.

They couldn't believe it. Could it be that a young woman they just met could really rescue them from behind bars? This was simply unbelievable!
