After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 459 Tears
Jin Liushi left in despair.

When she came, she thought she was sure of victory and would be able to coax Jin Jiashu into obeying her words.

When she left, she was like a lost dog, afraid that she would make Jin Jiashu unhappy and reveal her secret.

Today's Jin Jiashu is no longer the pitiful person she used to be at the mercy of her predecessor. Although he has lost his parents, he has an amazing aunt who is actually a popular person in front of the Queen Mother! No wonder the Zhenguo Government took such good care of him. It must be because the Queen Mother had spoken...

With such a prominent backer, Jin Jiashu didn't take advantage of the Zhou family's power and directly kill all the people in their second room. Isn't it considered a mercy? Now he is even willing to let her, who has always bullied him, come in to talk, which can be regarded as well-behaved and sensible.

But such a well-behaved and sensible person may not last long.

If one day he suddenly becomes angry with his second wife and exposes the truth about the Hu family's case to the government, I'm afraid even the perpetrator will be ready-made, and the Hu family brothers and sisters will immediately take their family to court!
Mrs. Jin Liu had already started to retreat in her heart. When the lawsuit between mother-in-law Jin Er and her brother-in-law Jin Miao is over, as long as the Chang'an prefect has no intention of arresting her and her husband Jin Xin, they will leave here immediately! Stay far away from Jin Jiashu, and you must not live under his nose, risking his secrets at all times.

I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to my hometown in Zunhua Prefecture...

The second sister-in-law and his wife were both idiots. Faced with the questioning from the new magistrate, they honestly tried everything and handed over all the land deeds and house deeds. Now that the new magistrate has sold off all the property belonging to Jin's parents' house and second house, they have exchanged them for silver notes and sent them to Chang'an. Even if their family goes back, they will have no livelihood and will have to make their neighbors laugh.

Besides, Zunhua Prefecture is only more than three hundred miles away from the capital, and it can be reached by horseback in a day or two. Once Jin Jiashu wrote to his aunt in the palace about Xu Qiuniang, then Lady Xu took the blame and asked the Queen Mother to punish their family. Their second wife would not be able to escape at all!
It would be better to escape far away to a place where no one knows them, and rely on the money they have left on hand to survive...

But where should they go? Except for their hometown in Zunhua and the capital, and Chang'an where they have been staying for several months now, they are not familiar with anywhere...

Mrs. Jin Liu walked out of the Jin family's new house in despair, not even realizing that there was a third person on the road.

After she left, Haitang walked out from the back of the house and stared at her back. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he remembered the conversation he had just heard between her and Jin Jiashu.

When Jin Jiashu met Jin Liu today, why was he trying to find out the whereabouts of his mother? He clearly knew that his mother had become the emperor's virtuous concubine and had given birth to the eighth prince. Just to silence the second wife of the Jin family, he deliberately frightened and threatened the Jin Liu family. Not only did he force out the Jin Liu family, he also made her dare not say anything more about Xu Qiuniang's matter.

These days, he deliberately moved in advance, left the strict Hai family, and started an independent house, just to allow people from the second room of the Jin family to come to him smoothly. He took advantage of the Jin family's second brother's eagerness to save himself and forced him to find out the true identity of the female corpse they buried in the capital. He then deduced the truth about the Hu family's unjust case. He used this as a handle to threaten the Jin family's second brother to shut up to avoid leaks. Xu Qiuniang’s true whereabouts. Is he actually clearing away troubles for his mother?
In this way, during his sojourn in the Hai family, he has been living in seclusion and not seeing outsiders, which may be part of the plan. It was precisely because the second roommate of the Jin family could not find him to intercede for a long time and had no way to ask for help that he hurriedly came to the door after hearing the news of his move, accidentally exposing his flaw. However, considering Jin Jiashu's situation, Haitang can also understand why he refused to tell anyone and planned all this alone.

In his opinion, his secret is only known to him, his mother, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor in the world. But they were all far away in the capital and couldn't help him. He must hide it from everyone around him and eliminate hidden dangers for his mother. Once you act carelessly, your mother and younger brother who are far away in the capital will be affected at any time. How dare he mention it to anyone? !

Haitang hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was better not to reveal too much in front of Jin Jiashu. Although someone who knows the inside story can openly advise Jin Jiashu, given his current mental state, if he knows that both she and his brother Hai Jiao know the secret of his true life experience, the psychological pressure will be too great. It's pitiful for a young man to be separated from his relatives by thousands of miles and helpless. It would be better for her to be kinder...

With this thought, she heard footsteps coming from behind her. When she looked back, she met Jin Jiashu's astonished eyes.

Haitang blinked, showing an expression of embarrassment and shame: "Brother Jin, I didn't mean to eavesdrop... I saw her following you in, and I was worried that she was cunning and coaxed you into hiding, and wanted to plot against you, so I followed her quietly. Just in case...I didn't know you were going to talk about that..."

Jin Jiashu recalled the content of his conversation with Jin Liu, and quickly calmed down: "It's nothing, you are also worried about me." He originally wanted to use words to deceive his mother-in-law, Jin Liu, and it did not involve real secrets. It would be okay if others heard it. . Sister Hai is not a talkative person. Although his lies also deceived her, she felt a little sorry for the Hai family's kindness to him. But if the Hai family knew the truth, it would be more harmful than helpful. Let the Hai family's sister believe his conversation with the Jinliu family as truth.

Thinking like this, he lowered his head and showed a somewhat sad expression: "I have actually known for a long time that it is not my mother who is buried in Jingli. When I was a child, I was beaten and scolded by my father, and I missed my mother very much. If I were still alive, my father would never do that to me. I told my nurse that I wanted to see my mother and asked her if she could take me to the capital. That grave in Jingli is my mother. The person whose head is buried there has nothing to do with me. My mother is not dead yet!
"From then on, I knew... No matter what others said, it couldn't be my mother buried in the grave in Jingli. My father and the people in the second room said that, there must be an ulterior secret. Maybe it's because there is This secret was why my father allowed the second wife to take away the family's property, but he ignored it. In the past, I didn't dare to ask my father, for fear that he would beat me and prevent me from studying. Now I can't ask him either. I can only play against my uncle and aunt. Now that they are in this situation, as long as I threaten them a little, I am not afraid that they will not tell the truth!"

Haitang asked him: "Then what are you going to do now? Since the person buried in Jingli is not your mother, then where has your mother gone?"

Jin Jiashu's eyes were red: "Although my uncle's words are unpleasant to listen to, they are... not unreasonable. If my mother were still alive, there would be no way she would not come back these years. Even if our family leaves Beijing in a hurry, she will not be found. When it comes to us, we can go back to contact our aunt, or go back to our hometown. There has been no news from her. I'm afraid... it's true... she's gone..."

He lowered his head and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears and took a deep breath: "I want to tell my aunt about this and persuade her to calm down. As long as the Sun family does not have the emperor's favor, they will fall sooner or later. When they fall Taiwan, we can hope to find out from their mouths whether they captured my mother and where they took her! At any rate... I want my mother to be buried in peace."

After saying that, he shed a line of tears, which made his pale and handsome face look so pitiful.

Haitang looked at this scene with a complicated mood.
