Chapter 657 Outer Room
After Yan Zhigao was taken away, Mrs. Yan became suddenly ill. Although she had been an old feudal lord for several years, the old lady had never experienced such a big event. When she saw something happened to her son, she collapsed as soon as she became anxious.
p>
Mrs. Li is also very panicked. The Yan family has been going smoothly these years. She is in charge of the small back house of the Yan family. Even if she wants to take care of the outside world, she is unable to do so. She can only place all her hopes on the Yan family.
On the eldest son.
Yan Zhiyuan saw Yan Zhigao being taken away with his own eyes, and also heard with his own ears that Yuan Buzheng envoy said that the Yan family would be confiscated and exiled because of the delay in military affairs. At this moment, the whole room was in a panic, but there was a useful way.
Can't think of it.
Yan Zhiqiang only takes care of the Yan family's fields on weekdays. Zhuangzi, who knows how to deal with such matters, can only watch Mrs. Li and Yan Zhiyuan anxiously.
Other female relatives and juniors have experienced less, so they don’t even pay attention to it.
Han Xinran and Zhu Qiyun were a little calmer. One was born in the Earl's Palace and had a lot of experience; the other lost his father at a young age and his endurance was far beyond that of his peers. However, both of them were brides and had just integrated into the Yan family. Even if they had ideas, it was difficult to express them.
.
When Daohua came over, she saw a room full of anxious and helpless family members.
"Sister, are you back?"
Han Xinran was the first to see Daohua standing at the door.
Daohua walked into the house, glanced at everyone, pondered for a moment, and then said to Yan Zhiqiang: "Third uncle, my father and eldest brother are not here. People in the house are in panic. Please lead the nursing staff to guard the house tonight."
There are a lot of people inside, so don’t let them cause trouble. It’s best to patrol more times at night.”
Yan Zhiqiang nodded quickly: "I will call for a patrol of the nursing home right away, and I will definitely keep an eye on the home."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Others in the room watched Yan Zhiqiang leave quickly, and then looked at Daohua who looked calm, and the anxiety and panic in their hearts inexplicably eased.
Daohua looked at Yan Zhiyuan again: "Second uncle, I heard that after the grain was loaded onto the ship, my father gave you the task of guarding it. Is this true?"
Yan Zhiyuan sat down when Daohua entered the room. Hearing Daohua's question, he immediately nodded: "That's the case." He said, frowning, "Yiyi, why are you asking that?
What do you mean? You don’t think I lost the food, do you?”
The smile on Daohua's face remained unchanged: "Second uncle, don't worry, I just want to understand the situation. 100,000 shi of grain is not a small amount. If possible, you would also like to get it back."
Yan Zhiyuan's face looked better, but he still couldn't help but muttered: "There are many people who know the location of the grain ship. Who knows who the elder brother has told."
Daohua ignored these words and continued to ask: "Second uncle, since you are responsible for guarding the grain ship, will you be there all the time?"
Yan Zhiyuan immediately said: "Of course." After saying that, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Yan Wenjie on the side suddenly squeezed his wife's hand.
Zhu Qiyun shook it back, with worry in her eyes.
Daohua looked at Yan Zhiyuan quietly: "Second uncle, are you sure you have never left?"
I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but Yan Zhiyuan stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Of course I have never left. Yiyi, are you interrogating your second uncle?"
Everyone else in the room was shocked.
Daohua's face remained unchanged: "Second uncle, I'm just confirming the problem. As far as I know, all the government servants guarding the grain ships were killed."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the Yan family changed.
There was a hint of panic in Yan Zhiyuan's eyes. Yes, if he had been guarding the grain ship, how could he still be standing here well?
Mrs. Sun caught a glimpse of Yan Zhiyuan's face and immediately understood that her husband had lied. However, she still stood up and looked at Daohua dissatisfied: "Yiyi, it sounds like you are very disappointed that your second uncle is fine."
"Fortunately, it was convenient for your second uncle to go on the way, otherwise..." At this point, Mrs. Sun choked up and sobbed in Yan Zhiyuan's arms, "If there is anything wrong with the head of the family, I will do it."
No longer alive."
Hearing this, Yan Wenjie, Yan Yihuan and Yan Yile also looked frightened.
Yan Zhiyuan saw that Mrs. Sun had lied to him and patted her back stiffly.
Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter who didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "Okay, don't cry. My second brother is fine because our ancestors have blessed me. My mother is still resting in the room, so don't disturb her."
Mrs. Sun knew that this was not the time to be troubled, so she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and did not continue to cry.
Daohua didn't say anything else. Seeing that Mrs. Li couldn't hide her tiredness in her eyes, she said to Han Xinran: "Sister-in-law, please help my mother go back to rest. Grandma has me here."
Han Xinran quickly looked at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li shook her head and said: "I don't know what's going on with your father, so I can't sleep."
Daohua: "With big brother helping Zhou Xuan, my father will be fine. Mother should go back to her room to rest. You still have to look after the house."
Mrs. Li raised her eyes to look at her daughter, and saw that there was not much panic in her eyes. Then she remembered that her daughter's identity was different now, and she suddenly decided in her heart: "Okay, I'll go back first."
Han Xinran looked at her mother-in-law in surprise, wondering why she suddenly changed her attention.
Daohua looked at the others: "Let's all leave." After saying that, without explaining anything, she went straight into the inner room to see Mrs. Yan.
Old Mrs. Yan had woken up a long time ago, and she had heard everything said outside. When she saw her granddaughter coming in, she wanted to get up.
Daohua quickly stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, lie down quickly."
Mrs. Yan held Daohua's hand: "Your father..."
Daohua smiled and said: "Father is fine. If nothing happens, he will be able to go home tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Envoy Yuan Bu captured his father because he lost military rations. Now that his granddaughter has provided for it, he has no reason to keep his father in prison."
”
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan was relieved, and then asked: "You just asked your second uncle like that, did he do something?"
Daohua comforted her: "My granddaughter just doesn't understand the situation. Please ask your second uncle to find out. Grandma, don't think too much."
Mrs. Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After a while, she suddenly sighed.
She understood her son. Every time the second son made a mistake, he would bite others because of a guilty conscience. What did this rebellious son do?
......
Yan Wenjie has remained silent since he came out of the old lady's yard.
Zhu Qiyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, then sat quietly aside to accompany him.
After a while, Yan Wenjie finally spoke: "Did you say that when my eldest sister asked Dad like that before, she was suspecting what he had done?"
Zhu Qiyun: "...I think the eldest sister may really just want to know the situation when asking her father."
Yan Wenjie suddenly looked at Zhu Qiyun, with uncertainty in his eyes: "Qiyun, do you think the loss of military rations is really related to dad?"
Zhu Qiyun was startled and immediately denied: "No way, no matter how stupid my father is, he can't do anything to harm the Yan family." The uncle is the backbone of the Yan family. If he falls, it will not be of any benefit to the second wife. She
I don’t think her father-in-law, who is a little scheming, would do such a stupid thing.
Yan Wenjie also thought it was impossible, but he had no idea in his heart. He was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and then seemed to have made up his mind: "Qiyun, you go to my grandmother's yard again and tell me about my father's extramarital affairs."
Tell my eldest sister."
"The reason Mom made up casually before doesn't hold up at all. It's better to let everyone know that Dad left to see the outer room than to be suspected of losing military rations."
Zhu Qiyun looked at Yan Wenjie: "Are you sure? If this matter is known to the family, my mother will be the first to make a fuss."
Yan Wenjie nodded and sneered: "My father's wife is more than three years old. Sooner or later, we will have to make trouble. The sooner we make trouble, the sooner we make trouble."
Seeing that Yan Wenjie had made up his mind, Zhu Qiyun said nothing more. In fact, as soon as she knew that her father-in-law had an affair, she felt that she should tell her family.
......
"Girl, the second grandma is looking for you."
Daohua sat by the bed and accompanied Mrs. Yan. After watching her fall asleep, she was about to wash up when Zhu Qiyun came over.
Daohua was surprised and hurried to the outside: "Second sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Qiyun nodded, looked inside, and asked in a low voice: "Is the old lady asleep?"
Daohua nodded: "Yeah."
Zhu Qiyun was relieved, hesitated for a while, and looked at Daohua with some embarrassment: "Sister, there is something my husband asked me to tell you." As a daughter-in-law, it was really hard for her to talk about the fact that her father-in-law had an extramarital affair.
.
Daohua's eyes flashed: "Second sister-in-law, please speak, I'm listening."
Zhu Qiyun: "My father-in-law... He has an outhouse outside, and he also gave birth to a son. He is almost three years old now. When my uncle asked his father to guard the grain ship, my father-in-law left. He left just to
Go and see the outer room and her son."
Hearing this, Daohua was extremely surprised.
She believed that her second uncle would not do anything to harm her father, but there was something wrong with him, that was for sure, but she didn’t expect it to be such a problem.
Daohua was silent for a while and looked at Zhu Qiyun: "Thank you second sister-in-law for informing me about this. Go back and tell second brother. I asked second uncle today for no other reason. I just wanted to know more about the situation, and then I gave the lost 10
After Wan Shi's grain was recovered, he never doubted that his second uncle would harm his father."
Zhu Qiyun immediately said with a smile: "Your second brother knows this, but we think the family should still know about the father-in-law raising an extramarital wife."
Daohua nodded: "I will find an opportunity to tell my mother about this."
Zhu Qiyun said no more, said goodbye to Daohua, and left.
