When Yang Wanyu saw this, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. However, she also knew that if she went to look for Prince Hui now, she would always have to lower her head before him after they got married. This would be detrimental to her future.
But if she didnât save her father, what would happen to her marriage? Her dowry and her wedding would all be ruined.
âYouâre the eldest in the family. Are you just going to watch your parents get jailed and not care?â
âSo now you think me of your elder sister? Iâve never heard you call me sister once.â

âItâs too late. Begging anyone wonât help us.
âYouâd better return to bed. Weâll go to prison tomorrow and ask Father for his opinion.â After Yang Wanning finished speaking, she left.
When she returned to her courtyard, Chunxi helped her wash up, hesitantly asking, âYoung Miss, are you really planning to meddle in your fatherâs matters? I heard the people who took Master away were the palace guards.â âNo matter what, I have to do something to show action.
âBy the way, are the servants in the courtyard obedient now?â
âYes. Ever since Mrs. Cui was arrested, everyone has been doing their best.â
âWe canât relax at times like this. Otherwise, if something happens, itâll be bad.â
âI understand.â Chunxi nodded solemnly.
The next day, Gu Chengrui brought more than ten sticks of roasted donkey meat and left for the manor in a carriage with Lin Yitian.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen to prepare the base and dipping sauce for her hotpot. When she came out, she saw Zhou Dong yawning in the distance. She called him and asked, âBrother Zhou Dong, whatâs wrong? Those who donât know better would think you were out late stealing last night.â
âI wish 1 had the skills of a thief. At least I can earn money quickly.
âAfter over half a month of learning, I finally understand that doing business is complicated and difficult.â
Zhou Ying smiled and asked, âSo, what are you thinking? Do you want to quit?â âNo. What other options do I have? Farming is even more tiring.â Zhou Dong paused and continued, âTo be honest, although 1 donât have freedom and sometimes I get beaten up, my life is pretty comfortable. At least 1 donât have to worry about food and clothing.â
Zhou Ying secretly rolled her eyes after hearing that. That was because he had his parents protecting him. Otherwise, he wouldnât even know how he died.
So, she still tried to persuade him. âEverything has a process. Youâve been living too comfortably, so you canât stand the sudden change.
âAfter some time, Iâm sure it will get easier once youâre familiar with your work.
âJust like when you started farming, wasnât that as difficult as well?â
âThatâs right. Alright, Iâll have to leave. Otherwise, Iâll be late.â Zhou Dong nodded in agreement, then turned around and ran out.
Zhou Ying walked around the residence. After seeing that everything was well cleaned, she returned to her courtyard.
She thought of what Gu Chengrui had told herâto monitor the capital closely. So, she poured a cup of tea, took a book as a cover, and spread her divine sense to the Yang residence.
Coincidentally, she saw Yang Wanning and Yang Wanyu carrying bags as they left their residence.
A trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that these two people were like fire and water. Zhou Ying couldnât believe there would be a day when they would walk together in such harmony.
After following them for a while, she realized they were sending Yang Shicheng some cotton clothes and quilts.
Zhou Ying followed them as well. However, when they arrived at the Ministry of Justiceâs prison, the two women were denied entry, regardless of whether they were delivering silver or mentioning Prince Hui or Prince Rui.
They could only leave the things they had brought behind and walk back with a heavy heart.
Zhou Ying entered the prison and found King An interrogating people from the Cui family.
In order to get some confessions as soon as possible, King An even busted out the Tiger Stool.
But in the end, they couldnât find any evidence that could convict Yang Shicheng..
