pampering wife

Chapter 135

On the other side, Qingmei got out of the carriage, seeing that Junli was still angry, she tugged at the skirt of his shirt.Jun Li's expression softened, he lowered his head and said to her: "I'll go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion right away, you stay in the courtyard and don't run around. If someone comes, delay as long as you can." After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant behind him After a few words, he rode away in a hurry.

When Qingmei entered the courtyard, she saw Mrs. Xu and the hired workers walking around anxiously inside.A few soldiers surrounded the outside and were not allowed to go out, and they didn't dare to force their way in.

Seeing her enter the door, Mrs. Xu rushed over immediately, "What's the matter? They said they want to arrest you." Qingmei hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, the King of England has already dealt with it." Seeing that the hired workers were looking at her hesitantly , and said: "You don't need to panic, some small things will be fine in a few days. You just work with peace of mind, and the wages will be paid. If the tavern does a good job, there will be additional subsidies."

The hired workers saw that she was not as panicked as Mrs. Xu, and the soldiers outside the door really withdrew, so they went to the wine cellar in peace.

With her mother and daughter left, Mrs. Xu hurriedly took her hand and walked into the house, a little worried: "I was scared to death just now, those people rushed in and wanted to arrest people, I thought..." After that Why didn't they say it clearly, the two of them knew it well.

Qingmei comforted Mrs. Xu, "Mother, you don't have to worry too much. We will have a chance to clean up our grievances if this case is exposed. What's more, father's case is an unjust case. The emperor is wise, and the King of England and Marquis of Wu'an are helping each other. I will make my father innocent."

"Shengming?" Xu lowered his voice and sneered, "Shengming won't make a wrong judgment back then!"

Qing Mei was speechless at the words, thinking about it, it was indeed the truth.But the matter has come to this point, the unjust case has been completed, what else can be done at this moment other than rehabilitating the unjust case?It's impossible to turn back time.Her face darkened, "I'm just waiting for the day when the He family falls down."

The two mothers were relatively speechless, and Lu Zhu had already prepared simple meals in the kitchen, and the few of them used them hastily, and each took a rest.

It was a very restless sleep that night.Qingmei was lying on the bed tossing and turning, what does it mean for the emperor to ask the prince to intervene in this matter?The He family is the grandfather of the prince, so isn't he afraid that the two places will join forces and cause unjust, false and wrong cases again like before?

After squinting in a daze for a while, Qingmei woke up before dawn.She opened her eyes wide and stared at the finely crushed jasmine flowers scattered on the tent, in a sober daze.It was very quiet outside, except for the faint sound of cock crowing in the distance, there was no movement at all. She didn't know how the discussion between Junli and Marquis Wu'an was going last night, she didn't know what the emperor was planning this time, and she didn't know this time , where will my own road extend...

At dawn, Qingmei got up and went out of the house. Luzhu was drawing water by the well to heat it up. Qingmei scooped cold water into the basin and told Luzhu to go to work by herself. She bowed and stood by the well and slowly washed her face.

The cold well water slid across the cheeks, fresh and cold, and the water splashed across the temples, and the mind became more and more awake.

Mrs. Xu probably didn't fall asleep last night, and came out after hearing the movement.After the two women washed and dressed, they went to the wine cellar to check the wine jars, and when Luzhu had prepared breakfast, they went back to the house to eat.

The streets and alleys have already become lively, there is a faint sound of horseshoes, Qingmei goes outside the house, and she can hear someone riding a horse from far to near.Before the hired workers came, the courtyard door was still locked, there was a rapid knock on the door, and Luzhu ran to open the door, and several soldiers rushed in, and quickly walked through the arched door into the inner courtyard.

Standing in front of the door, Qingmei recognized the leader who was with Junli yesterday.He was polite, and said to Qingmei: "Miss Qu, the lord is busy today, I was ordered to lead someone to take you into prison." He said and took out the official document.

This situation is completely different from yesterday's vicious gang, Qingmei said "Thank you, sir." Hearing that, the soldiers were stunned, they had never seen arresting people so politely, and they could still thank them.

Without the expected ups and downs and fierce disputes, Qingmei was taken to the car outside, looking very calm.Mrs. Xu sent her out, holding Qingmei's hand and refused to let go, Qingmei said: "Mother, please run the tavern with peace of mind, wait for me to come back." It can only make Xu more worried.

The car drove out of Huazhi Lane, passed the lively Hede Street, and strung along several long streets, gradually the voices of people became cold.When Qingmei got out of the car, she saw a building in the shape of a government office in front of her. The government servants took the paperwork and handed over the pledge, and then the jailer took her in.

Different from the prison she had imagined, although this place was also tightly guarded, it was not as dirty as she had imagined.The prisons are divided into rooms, with stone walls in the middle. Most of the prisoners inside the iron gates are sitting quietly, and the jailers are patrolling back and forth.

She was taken to the innermost prison, and the jailer opened the iron gate to let her in. The inside was a bit cramped and crude, but as a prison, such conditions were already excellent.As soon as she went in, a jailer came over with a food box, Qingmei thought it was still early in the day, could it be that she was about to eat?

After the others walked away, she couldn't help laughing when she opened it to look at it.Except for a few pastries wrapped in greased paper, there was no other food in the food box, only a soft blanket.

This prison is built of stones, and the place is remote and desolate, and the inside is much colder than the outside.It's early April summer outside, but it's chilly inside, Qingmei is wearing thin clothes, and she smiles happily when she sees the thin blanket - don't even need to guess, it must be arranged by Junli in advance.

After all, she is the daughter of a criminal minister who escaped from the law, and it is unknown how much Jun Li has put in such treatment to be able to receive this kind of treatment.Although Qingmei also complained about the emperor's misjudgment back then, she was still very grateful to Junli.After sitting for a while, she heard the voice of the jailer from outside, "Qu Changyan is locked in the innermost room, please the crown prince, please the King of England."

As soon as she heard the arrival of the crown prince, almost subconsciously, Qingmei hid the food box and blanket, and then sat quietly on the straw mat, making a dull look.
