It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Aju lost her temper instantly, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Young Marquis Lu, Madam Lu, my sister was at fault for what happened last time. I will stand in her place for you..."

"She has her own mouth. If she feels that she did something wrong, she can apologize herself. There is no need for you, her brother, to apologize." Lu Sui interrupted Ash directly, "And do you know what your behavior is called?"

"Uh..." Ash looked confused.

"You are aiding and abetting the evil."

"Young Marquis Lu, don't think that you can teach us a lesson just because you saved our stepmother." A'ru swept away her friendly attitude and said, "You can go now, but you can't talk nonsense about what happened today. Do you hear me?"

"Humph."

Lu Sui rolled his eyes at Aju, pulled Yuan Buwei and walked out of the room.

"Hey, what's your attitude?"

"Okay, A'ru, is this the time to quarrel?" Ash held A'ru, with some fatigue in his eyes, "You take good care of your stepmother, I'll go find out about the situation of the cold doctor girl."

"Brother Ash, do you think I'm impulsive?" A'ru looked unhappy, "I'm just too nervous for my stepmother."

"Then you have to consider the situation. Young Marquis Lu has a bad temper. Can you expect anything good from confronting him head-on?" Ash rubbed his frowning brows. "As for Madam Lu, she has always been very friendly to us and has taken care of our stepmother. Even if we don't like them, we have to distinguish right from wrong. These are the principles of life that our stepmother taught us when we were young. Have you forgotten them?"

"How could I forget? I..." Aju twisted the tassels on her clothes with her fingers, "I also have a bad temper. When I'm angry, I lose my mind and don't care about anything."

"Okay, let's talk about your temper later. Take good care of your stepmother. I'll be back soon."

"Then be careful."

"understood."

Because of this incident, Yuan Buwei failed to cook the meal, so the two of them found a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

Halfway through the meal, I saw an acquaintance outside the door.

"Ye Shaoqing?"

"Young Marquis, Young Madam?" Ye Shaoqing walked towards the two of them with a surprised look on his face, "Why are you here?"

"We have something to do today, but we're hungry, so we just find a place to eat. What's the matter, Ye Shaoqing?" Lu Sui looked at Ye Shaoqing.

"This small restaurant had a dispute with a customer before, and I handled it. Later, I asked and found out that the owner of the restaurant is from the same hometown as me. In addition, he cooks dishes from my hometown, so I come here to eat every now and then." Ye Shaoqing raised his hand and said to the big man who came out of the kitchen, "Old Li, copy a few more dishes for me and heat up a pot of rice wine."

"okay."

It can be seen that the two are very familiar with each other.

Yuan Buwei pulled open the bench and said, "Ye Shaoqing, please sit down. I just happened to meet you and I have something to ask you."

Ye Shaoqing took a seat in response: "Young Madam, you want to ask Yuan Jinse, right?"

"As expected of Ye Shaoqing, you know what I want to ask before I even open my mouth."

"According to the emperor's request, Yuan Jinse is now being held captive and tortured every five days." Ye Shaoqing paused, "The emperor has placed all his hatred for Mu Qing and Shan Ji on Yuan Jinse, and said that executing her would be too easy for her, and that we must keep her alive and torture her."

Yuan Buwei frowned when she heard this. Yuan Jinse was reaping the consequences of her own actions, but the emperor blamed his own mistakes on a woman, leaving her speechless.

"So Yuan Jinse is pretty tough. She's tortured every five days, but she's still alive." Lu Sui sighed, "If she puts her perseverance and faith in the right path, there's nothing she can't accomplish."

"By the way, Madam, do you know what's happening with Yuan Hanshu?"

Yuan Buwei didn't answer.

Yuan Hanshu sent his son here before, and Lu Sui sent him to Shaolin Temple the next day.

A few days later, Yuan's father came to visit his son and learned that his son had gone to Shaolin Temple.

He was so angry that he cursed at Yuan Buwei and Lu Sui, and was finally beaten out by Butler Ye with a broom.

Since then, Yuan Buwei never paid any attention to his news again.

"Yuan Hanshu lost his official position. In addition, his family's well-known affairs made people point fingers at him wherever he went. Sometimes, naughty children would throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at him. In desperation, he moved to the countryside with his dull wife and found a job selling nightshades. This job was tiring, dirty and smelly. There was nothing to do, but he did it because at least he could earn some money. But somehow he offended the town bully, was chased and beaten, and finally broke one of his legs."

"Ye Shaoqing, how did you know about this?" Lu Sui asked.

"Yuan Hanshu was so angry and couldn't stand the humiliation, so he had been waiting for the bully. If others hadn't discovered him in time, he would have stabbed the bully to death. Then they came to the Dali Temple. The bully's family insisted that Yuan Hanshu give an explanation. Yuan Hanshu said that his daughter was the young lady and his son-in-law was the young Marquis Lu. He wanted an explanation or money. He asked them to go find you. But no matter how brave they were, they didn't dare to go to the Wanning Marquis' Mansion to find you two..."

"So how was the matter finally resolved? Ye Shaoqing, you didn't pay for it, did you?"

"How could I possibly give money?" Ye Shaoqing said, "I'm not going to be taken advantage of." "I asked the yamen runners to check what bad things the bully had done in the local area, and finally we arrested the whole family, which was considered to be ridding the people of harm."

"As expected of Ye Shaoqing, you defeated the bully without any effort and won the praise of the people." Lu Sui gave Ye Shaoqing a thumbs up. Just at this time, the wine and food were served. "Come on, Ye Shaoqing, let's have a drink today."

"What about Yuan Hanshu? Given his personality, he won't just let it go like this, right?" Yuan Buwei was not afraid that Yuan Hanshu would come to find her, but she was afraid that he would become desperate and do something immoral.

"He said his leg was broken and he had no money to treat it, so I found him a doctor. He could complain, and so could I. In the end, he was speechless, and he left on his own. Later, because there were many things to do at the end of the year, I didn't pay much attention to him. If I hadn't met the young marquis and the young mistress today, I wouldn't have remembered this matter."

For some reason, Yuan Buwei felt uneasy.

Based on her understanding of Yuan Hanshu, he would want to make even the slightest problem known to everyone.

And now, even though he had a broken leg, he didn't even bother me.

But there is only one possibility.

Yuan Buwei looked at Ye Shaoqing and said, "Is Yuan Jinse under special supervision, or are you keeping her in solitary confinement somewhere?"

"Shaoqing, Shaoqing, this is not good."

Suddenly.

An officer ran in from outside, his eyes showing a bit of panic: "Yes, someone broke into the prison."
