Cousin Chang Xi is on her way back to Yiyang, and his aunt Wei is also in Yiyang to take care of her. It is Zhao Jin's other lair, and its safety is unquestionable. That's why Wei Guangnan made such a proposal. .

The company thought of Yiyang's geographical location and nodded. He had stayed there before, and he had his eyeliner there, so this arrangement is feasible. In addition, Chang Xi and Zhao Jin have not established a relationship with the outside world, which is very confusing. Sex, just like this time the mighty Marquis Mansion was not angered by the so-called Emperor Chongde and Queen Mother Zheng.

The two began to discuss specific implementable plans, which were not finalized until dawn, and the rest was to implement them in an orderly manner.

The sixth prince's wives, concubines, and children had already been taken to the battlefield as hostages, so the imperial prison was not heavily guarded. After all, the fourth prince didn't need to be too guarded when he was weak, and the eighth prince hadn't jumped out to raise the "anti" flag, which gave Zhu Guo Opportunity to rescue the hostages.

When Chang Xi returned to Yiyang, the weather was already turning cold. Seeing her safe return and knowing that the eldest son's family was safe, Wei's heart relaxed, and immediately fell ill. It took several days to see improvement. .

The family of the fourth concubine and the family of the eighth concubine arrived at this time.

The two were imprisoned for a long time. After being rescued, they didn't even have time to rest. They rushed to Yiyang again. Now that they are old and haggard, how can they still have half the demeanor of the former princes and concubines?

The fourth concubine grabbed Chang Xi's hand and cried loudly when she saw Chang Xi. Jin's blessing, so she attributes all this to Chang Xi.

This made Chang Xi speechless in embarrassment. This matter really had nothing to do with her. At this moment, she could only comfort her, "Fourth Imperial Concubine, don't get excited. Come, let's talk in the room." Then he helped the fourth concubine, who was obviously in poor health, and went to the back room.

Wei's body had just recovered from his illness, and when he heard the news, he rushed over immediately, just in time to see the Eighth Prince and Concubine walking into the room with a silent face, holding the hands of her children. She seemed to be a different person again, and she almost couldn't recognize it for a while.

"The eighth concubine?"

Hearing the call, the Eighth Prince's Concubine turned her head to look at Wei Shi, her eyes narrowed slightly, and it took a while before she recognized the person, "Are you Mrs. Wei Wuhou?"

"It's me." Wei replied hastily, and then stepped forward to find that there seemed to be something wrong with the eyes of the Eighth Prince, so he took a deep breath, "Your eyes?"

The Eighth Prince's Concubine said sadly, "I accidentally broke my eye in prison, I'm not blind, but my vision is a little unclear."

Wei Shi did not expect that the battle for the heir apparent would be more cruel than he imagined. As soon as the men patted their buttocks and walked away, the women and children would suffer a great crime and be left behind to cover for the men. He was tortured inhumanely in prison.

The fourth concubine who was walking in front was stunned when the eighth concubine spoke. She seemed to be remembering the days in prison, her body was still shivering. She had lived a noble life for half her life. Just remembering, her heart is like being roasted on a raging fire, a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.

Chang Xi looked at the two of them like this, and then looked at their children. The older one had dull eyes like a log, and the younger one was silent. It seemed that they both had very serious post-traumatic diseases. It's a pity that she was not psychologically Doctors don’t know how to counsel them psychologically, so they can only ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. By the way, they can prescribe some medicine to unwind their minds, and then slowly enlighten them. After a period of time, they should be better.

Hearing that a doctor should be consulted, the Fourth Prince and Concubine said, "Don't be so troublesome, I have seen a doctor along the way, and the injuries on my body are probably healed..."

"It's also good to ask for a safe pulse," Chang Xi said.

Seeing Chang Xi's insistence, the fourth concubine and the eighth concubine looked at each other. The two sisters-in-law did not object anymore. After all, they are still hostages now under the fence, but one does not treat them as human beings, and the other treats them with courtesy Waiting, the fool will think of resisting and go back to the days when pigs and dogs are inferior.

The eighth concubine muttered for a while, then said, "Miss Chang, can you back up your pen and ink, I want to send a letter to my husband."

Although no one asked her to do this, she did so consciously. Regardless of whether the letter to her husband is useful or not, at least she has shown her value to others. This can also be exchanged for a few days of safe life, which is worth it .

Chang Xi smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'd better let the doctor take a look first. By the way, the yard is ready. Compared with the prince's mansion in the capital, this place is much simpler. Please don't mind the princess..."

"Why do you mind? This is very good, really, very good." The fourth princess hurriedly waved her hand, for fear of causing more trouble to Chang Xi, compared with being sent to prison, no other place It's heaven.

The eighth concubine also hurriedly said that this is very good, and she didn't dare to find fault at all. She was still arrogant before, but after this experience, how can she still be proud?

When her husband really becomes the emperor and takes her to be the queen, maybe she will come back at that time, but when she thinks that her natal family is still in prison, her eyes darken again.

Chang Xi doesn't try to figure out their thoughts in detail, anyway, the things that have been experienced will always leave a mark on people's body or spirit.

Taking advantage of the servants sent by the company to settle them down, she told Wei Shi, "It's good for mother to have more time to talk to them. Come out to bask in the sun more..."

Wei Shi nodded one by one, and finally said with emotion again, "I'm glad I came to Yiyang because I missed you at that time. If I stayed in the capital and was sent to prison, it would be worse than death. Just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy." numb."

I don't know how the mother-in-law and husband are doing now. She has never asked. She really can't continue to give her heart to those who have hurt her, so it's better not to care whether they are alive or dead. None of her children are in that mansion, so what does it matter to her who has been tortured?
Seeing Wei's expression relax, Chang Xi knew that she wasn't worried about the scumbags, well, she didn't care at all, so she didn't mention the mighty Marquis Mansion at all.

The three-entry house usually accommodates the mother and daughter and the servants brought by the Wei family. It is quite spacious, but now the fourth concubine, the eighth concubine and their children live in, and the company sent to wait and monitor People, it seems a bit crowded.

Chang Xi was planning to send someone to inquire privately about the neighboring house if anyone wanted to sell it. She bought it and repaired a moon gate, so that it would be much more spacious to live in. After giving this order, she was about to go out Going to the workshop to deal with affairs, the fourth master Xie came to the door in a hurry.

Greeting people, sitting in the flower hall, Master Xie went straight to the topic and asked about the placement of the fourth and eighth concubines, obviously he received the news immediately.

Chang Xi was also unambiguous, she would answer whatever he asked, at this time she would not play tricks with Master Xie Si, for those who were on the same boat, it would be serious to push the boat to the other side first.

Master Xie Si nodded frequently at Chang Xi's performance. Although he had some unpleasantness with Xie's family at the beginning, Chang Xi still has a good view of the big picture and is very organized in his work. He is indeed a hero among women, because his attitude towards Chang Xi has changed. So he is also a little bit sincere.

"It's a secret thing for them to be with you. How about this? I'll handle the matter of whether people in the vicinity want to sell their houses, and I'll send the land deed and house deed later. You don't need to come forward, so as not to make suspicious people."

It's a good thing, Chang Xi couldn't wish for it. With Xie's presence, there is no problem that cannot be solved in Yiyang City, and no one dares to ask why Xie's behavior is so much better than her, so she put the problem aside logically. To solve the fourth master.

For a while, the two of them developed a kind of friendship that they had never known before.

Sending off to get to know the fourth master, it was already late, Chang Xi didn't go to the workshop, but went to have dinner with the fourth concubine and others, so as to relieve their uneasiness.

After dinner, the Eighth Prince's concubine handed the written letter to Chang Xi, and said politely and a little uneasy: "Madam Chang, please send the letter to my husband, and try to make him abandon the dark and turn to the light as soon as possible, and don't go all the way black."

Chang Xi took the letter, "Don't worry, the Eighth Prince, I will definitely have someone hand it over to the Eighth Prince."

The Eighth Prince's Concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and then she smiled embarrassedly because she was afraid that others would laugh at her.

After the hustle and bustle calmed down, Chang Xi sat on the Arhat bed and watched the various reports of the workshop brought back by Huniu. Now, whether it is the tea brick workshop or the spinning workshop, they are making money every day, especially the tea brick workshop. Because she brought back a large number of orders from the northwest, and now she has recruited a group of people working in three shifts day and night, but the supply is still in short supply.

It seems that the automation of tea bricks researched by Lin Yuqi has to be put on the agenda. The successful development of rubber has made automation no longer a fantasy. Although the automation is still rough in her opinion, it is actually usable, and it is enough for the time being.

On the other hand, the second tea brick workshop has entered the stage of site selection. Xie Ming is in charge of the inspection in person, and she can just be a hands-off shopkeeper. Yarn workshops compete for resources.

When he was so busy, the boss sent by the company to serve and monitor the two princes and concubines hurried in with the letter from the eighth concubine, and reported in a low voice, "Ms. Chang, there is something wrong with this letter."

"Oh, what's the problem?" Chang Xi immediately stopped what he was doing, with a serious expression on his face.

The boss was also unambiguous, and he spread the letter directly, pointing out several points, "There is a code word in this letter. We tried several methods, but we couldn't fully decipher it, but we know that the eighth prince concubine is passing it to the eighth prince. According to our news, this should be the secret language for the couple to communicate..."
