The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 522: One Cut and Two Breaks (1)
"Ma'am, if you are really worried, or else this old servant will take madam to Tiancheng to have a look. This old slave went to Tiancheng with his previous master when he was young, and he still knows the way!" Mu San said while driving the car.

Hao Shi immediately shook her head, "I can't go far, I'm not in good health, and maybe Ping'er and the others are already on the way, just wait a little longer!"

Mu San hurriedly responded.

After the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hao Shi couldn't help but feel a little anxious before he could find anyone. He asked Mu San and Yuan Kui to go to the Huayao shop in Yuancheng to inquire. I can send a message!
In the evening, Mu San and Yuan Kui finally came back, both of them looked bad and spoke hesitantly.

"What's the news, tell me quickly!" Hao Shi became even more anxious when he saw the two of them like this!

"Ma'am, there happened to be someone from the Huayao shop who just came back from Tiancheng. He said that this year's top scholar offended the emperor for some reason and was sent to prison. I don't know if it is our young master..." Wooden Three whispered.

Hao Shi was taken aback for a moment, his face turned pale, his body softened and he almost fell to the ground.

Tao Zi hurriedly stepped forward to support Hao Shi, and persuaded: "Ma'am, the people in the medicine shop must have misheard, our young master is the number one scholar, how could he be sent to prison!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought too, that sister-in-law, don't worry!" Yuan Kui said hastily.

Hao's legs began to feel weak, but she held on.She can't fall, she is the head of the family!
"Mu San, come with me to the yamen and ask!" If something happened to Hao Ren, the yamen should know about it!

Mu San hurriedly responded.

Hao Shi went to the Yamen overnight in a carriage.

When they arrived at the yamen, it was already dark, so Hao could only stay for one night, and went to the yamen's catcher, Wang Hu, early the next morning.

"We only learned of the news yesterday that Hao Zhuangyuan seems to be involved in the embezzlement case of his teacher, but now the Ministry of Criminal Justice is investigating, but it has not been implemented. Madam Hao, don't worry too much!" Wang Hu said quickly.

When Hao Shi heard this, she couldn't be in a hurry, but that's all Wang Hu knew. She had no choice but to thank Wang Hu. When she returned from the yamen to the inn, she was already powerless.

"Ma'am, Didn't Catcher Wang say that he hasn't been convicted yet? Besides, the young lady is here, and the young lady will definitely try her best to deal with it!" Seeing Hao's behavior, Mu San hurriedly persuaded her.

At this moment, the worries and worries in Hao Shi's heart can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. She bit her lips tightly, clenched her hands, and said in a low voice: "Musan, let's go back first and prepare something. Let’s go to Tiancheng tomorrow!”

Mu San hurriedly responded.

For some reason, news of Hao Ren's imprisonment spread throughout the villages. When Hao returned to Taiping Village, he was surrounded by villagers before he entered the village.

"Hao Renniang, is this true?" Ninety-year-old clan elder Yu Xiuman supported him, stepped forward tremblingly, and asked in disbelief.

Hao Shi was speechless.

"Clan elders, folks, our young master has only been investigated, not convicted yet!" Mu San said hastily.

"So you really went to the prison? If you're fine, why did you go to the prison?" Someone muttered.

"That's not it! Tell me how hard it was to get into the top prize, why..."

"I must have been confused by the outside world! No matter how smart a child is, it depends on his age. The child is too young to withstand temptation..."

Hao Shi clenched her hands, her eyes were clouded with tears, she raised her eyes to look at the villagers who were discussing, and said slowly: "Ren'er is my child, I believe Ren'er is innocent, and Ren'er is also the one that all the villagers look at. The big one, all the folks can see what kind of kid he is! The matter of Ren'er has not yet been concluded, so I beg everyone here to be kind and don't slander my Ren'er casually!"

As soon as Hao Shi said this, the crowd stopped talking and just stood there, some people sighed.

Hao Shi told Mu San, "Let's go home!"

Mu San hurriedly drove the car, and rushed the onlookers out of a lane.

Yu Xiuman supported the clan elder and stood aside, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hao Ren, you have let us down!" the clan elder said tremblingly, wiping away his old tears.

Yu Xiuman also shook his head.

Over the years, their village has gained a lot of benefits because it is the Zhuangyuan Village. Although they don’t farm land anymore, even if they go out to work, they heard that they are from the same village as Hao Zhuangyuan. Others still think highly of them. Now...

"What am I talking about? Don't look at the hustle and bustle at that time. You have to make a list now. You guys, you had to do things with the Hao family. You even offended the Leng family. Now you don't even have to plant land. Now Hao Ren If something goes wrong, the Hao family might be implicated, let alone a year's worth of money, or go to prison!" Liu Erbao was very proud at the moment, sitting under a big tree smoking a pipe, baring his hands. With big yellow teeth, he smiled.

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts sank all of a sudden.

The fact that Hao Ren entered the prison caused everyone in Taiping Village to panic.

"I heard that you offended the emperor, will you punish the nine clans?" Someone asked around in the village.

"Do those who work in Hao's family count as the Nine Clans?" Someone asked even more anxiously.

No one in the village knew about it, and even some people went to the city to inquire. The next day, half of the people who went to Leng's house to work!
Hao Shi couldn't care about anything at the moment, and took Hua'er, Mu San, and Liang Ma to Tiancheng the next day. As for Shitou, because Master Yan wanted him to try next year, he was given a late holiday a year ago. Hao Shi didn't intend to disturb the stone.

In Tiancheng, Leng Ping went to the Ruan Mansion to ask to see Ruan Ji, but was blocked by people from the Ruan Mansion.

"Brother, go and tell me that I am Leng Ping from Licheng, your lord and wife will definitely see me!" Leng Ping stepped forward and said without giving up.

"My lord is on a business trip, and it will take several days to come back. As for Madam, we reported it, and Madam said that she doesn't know you!" said the guard at the gate, "I think you should leave quickly, or I won't be here in a while." You're welcome!"

Leng Ping bit her lip, and asked coldly: "Your wife really said you don't know me?"

"Is there still a fake?" The guard became impatient and immediately started to chase people away, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

Leng Ping raised her eyes and glanced at the signboard of the Ruan Mansion, then pursed her lips coldly, "Okay, please tell your wife that I, Leng Ping, will not beg her again, and we will make a clean break with her from now on!"

The guard was taken aback, watching Leng Ping get into the carriage and leave.

"It's quite ambitious to beg for help!" The guard muttered and turned around.

At this moment in the gatehouse, Mrs. Ruan was standing holding Ruan Xiang's hand, tears streaming down her face.
