After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Don't cry. Didn't I tell you that you are the pillar of the family now?

The pillar of the family cannot cry easily, otherwise how can we protect our family."

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Qiuhua stood outside the door.

Lin Xiangxi and Lin Xiangbei looked outside the door and looked at Qiuhua.

Qiuhua, who has always been independent-minded, is now like a helpless and weak child.

She went into the house and closed the door.

"Mother and sister, have you been bullied?"

When her mother and the others came back, she saw them.

But they seemed to see no one in the house.

She saw her mother covered in blood and her sister hiding in her mother's arms, dazed and scared.

I watched the disheveled group of people walk towards the main house and study.

She wanted to move forward, but she saw her two younger brothers were also standing there and did not move forward.

At that moment, she knew that things at home were about to change.

She stayed alone in the room, curled up in a corner, and cried silently.

It was not until Lin Xiangxi returned from the palace that she heard the sound and came to her brothers' room.

"sister."

The tears in Lin Xiangbei's eyes had not yet dried, and he looked at Qiuhua pitifully.

Qiuhua gently hugged Lin Xiangbei, and then sat on the edge of the bed, facing Lin Xiangxi.

"Have you achieved your purpose of entering the palace? Will mother and the others be okay?"

Lin Xiangxi sighed, "Someone bullied my mother and elder sister, and they resisted, resulting in the death of others, including an official of the current dynasty.

Even if my mother had her reasons for doing so, since more than one person died, according to current laws, my mother cannot escape responsibility.

Not only that, we... we lost a brother or a sister today.

My mother had a miscarriage, so her clothes are covered in blood."

Qiuhua and Lin Xiangbei were so shocked that they opened their mouths slightly, unable to take in so much information at once.

"Then...will mother be executed?" Lin Xiangbei was so panicked that he stuttered.

“At the moment, probably not.

As for the punishment, it depends on the game between Dad and Prime Minister Liu in the court tomorrow."

Lin Xiangxi remembered his father's expression just now.

Tomorrow in the court, he will fight desperately for his mother.

Lin Chengfeng knew that Lin Xiangxi had already entered the palace and had obtained the imperial decree of divorce between him and Shen Yunwan.

There is no point for him to enter the palace now.

Lin Xiangxi used himself as a bargaining chip in exchange for Shen Yunwan's chance of survival.

And he wants to return freedom to Shen Yunwan.

Now is not the time for love affairs, now is the time to fight for survival.

He took the bloody shirt back to the study.

In the study, Liu Ze was still there.

"I need you to cooperate with me after the court tomorrow." Lin Chengfeng put the bloody clothes in a bag and placed it on the top of the cabinet.

He didn't even look at Liu Ze, nor did he speak in a tone of request. Instead, he told Liu Ze what to do tomorrow.

Liu Ze looked at Lin Chengfeng, who seemed like a different person.

Without the dejection just now, he returned to his previous state as Lord Lin.

"Xi'er just came back from the palace. The person in the palace already knows about what happened today, and knows it better than us who were present at the scene.

Liu Xianggang also entered the palace, so Concubine Liu must have also looked for that person.

Now, the Liu family wants to defeat Yun Wan.

play hard.

So, tomorrow, I need you to cooperate with me.

It's just you and me at the scene today, so what we see is what we believe, isn't it? "

Lin Chengfeng sat at the cracked table, picked up the cup beside him, and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold.

Liu Ze looked at the gloomy man, picked up the cup beside him, and took a sip of the cold tea.

"Your son went into the palace alone? Not long after we returned? We didn't tell him anything, but he guessed everything and went into the palace to meet the emperor and resolve the matter?"

He had also seen Lin Xiangxi. When he first came to the Lin family, he only thought that this child was handsome and relatively introverted.

More mature than his younger brother Lin Xiangbei.

Although he knew that there were talented young people in the world, this was only in the field of studying.

What they are going through today, let alone a child.

Even more mature officials like him and Lin Chengfeng could not come up with a solution in a short period of time.

Lin Chengfeng did not respond to Liu Ze, but was thinking about the divorce letter.

Since no one from the palace came to read it, can we just pretend that it didn't happen?

"Did he go to the palace to ask the emperor for forgiveness for Yun Wan?"

"No. I just want to find a way to survive.

As for the punishment, we'll see what Prime Minister Liu will do tomorrow. Today, will you stay at the Lin Mansion, or..."

"I'm going back to the inn." Liu Ze stood up and said.

Lin Chengfeng didn't keep him either.

He stared at the closed door of the main house, his eyes never leaving it for a long time.

Inside the main house.

"Are you asleep?" Yang Xiangru asked softly as she looked at Chunhua who had finally fallen asleep.

Chunhua's head was resting on Shen Yunwan's legs, and even though she fell asleep, her brows were still furrowed.

Shen Yunwan nodded.

Gently place Chunhua's head on the pillow.

The two of them tiptoed out of the room, the oil lamp was still lit and the door was ajar.

"I want to go back to the Wang family before they know what happened.

Take out the silver I hid in the room and my good citizen certificate."

After tomorrow, I don’t know what kind of rumors will spread. I also don’t know what the situation will be like at the Wang family.

"After I took it out, I found a secluded inn to stay in.

you……"

"Tomorrow, the government officials will come to detain me.

I guess they’ll have to investigate for a few days and lock me up for a while before they can punish me.

You don't have to wait for my judgment, just take Chunhua out of the city."

"No, Chunhua doesn't agree either.

Besides, he might not be…” Yang Xiangru couldn’t utter the word beheaded.

These two words are the nightmare of her life.

When her father was beheaded in public, she was forced into slavery and her life was turned upside down.

Now Shen Yunwan may be facing the possibility of death, what will happen to her children?

“Even if he doesn’t get beheaded, the punishment is still not light.

Fortunately, I have an imperial decree and Lin Chengfeng is still a favorite minister, so the children should not be affected.

I'll leave Chunhua to you."

Shen Yunwan was quite calm.

From the initial anger to the subsequent fear, now there is only calmness.

Calmly waiting for the judgment given to her by this dynasty.

Shen Yunwan held Yang Xiangru's hand tightly, as if entrusting her with her care before her death.

Yang Xiangru didn't say anything to comfort her. No one knew better than her how unfair and cruel the laws of Dai Viet were.

She nodded heavily and left the Lin Mansion.

Shen Yunwan looked at the house on the other side of the corridor.

There was no light, but she knew the children were there.

What happened today must have scared Qiuhua, Lin Xiangxi and Lin Xiangbei.

They had many questions, but no one came to the main house to look for her. They just locked themselves in the house.

Being sensible made her feel distressed.
