Uncle Zheng couldn't stop sighing, "Old sister-in-law, what's the use of complaining about these now, I have to find a way to rescue Shi Sheng!"

"Houfu ......" Shi Mu muttered and repeated these two words, and then turned into deep hatred, "Twenty years ago, Shi Sheng's father was beaten to death by Houfu, but I didn't expect that now, Shi Sheng will have a relationship with Houfu again, wronged, really wronged!"

When Uncle Zheng heard this, he said guiltily: "I'm sorry, old sister-in-law, if I hadn't taken Shi Sheng to listen to this errand, he wouldn't have had an accident." ”

Shi Mu shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, it's the Hou Mansion that is powerful and unreasonable!"

"Aunt Shi, why was Uncle Shi beaten to death by Houfu?" Ling Ruo had never heard Shi Mu talk about Shi Father's affairs before, only that he had died after Shi Sheng was born.

Shi Mu was saddened by her, and tears fell in her cloudy eyes, "Back then, the old man waited for a concubine and set up a flowing water mat for two days, after Shi Sheng was born, Shi Sheng and his father wanted to earn more silver, and asked someone to go to Houfu as a two-day errand, but he didn't come back on the first day, and the next day someone sent Shi Sheng's father's body, saying that Shi Sheng's father was light and waited for Mrs. and had been killed with a live cane!" If it weren't for Gu Shisheng at that time, I really wanted to take twenty water and fire sticks to sue him for indiscriminately killing innocents and disregarding people's lives!"

"I've buried this incident in my heart for 20 years, and I didn't want to mention it again, but I never thought that this surnamed Hou would harm us once, and he would harm us a second time, so that my wife would become a lonely person before I was happy?" The more Shi Mu spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't stop her tears.

Uncle Zheng was gloomy for a while, according to the current situation, it is indeed difficult to save Shi Sheng's life......

After crying for a while, Shi Mu said sadly: "Uncle, tomorrow please accompany me to Houfu, I will go to beg the Hou Gongzi, if he insists on refusing to let go, my wife will fight for this life, and I will go to the Yamen to sue them for wronging my family Shi Sheng." ”

"Old sister-in-law, why are you doing this, let's think of a way, maybe there is another way." Uncle Zheng persuaded him, but looking at his expression, he was obviously not optimistic. Three hundred taels, for the wealthy and powerful Houfu, it is just a pair of jade pendants of silver; But for them, they can't earn it for a few lifetimes without eating or drinking!

Ling Ruo didn't speak on the side, she vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as she saw, she believed that Shi Sheng was a human being and would never steal people's property, but Hou Fu would not wronged him for no reason, there must be something hidden in it, could it be that Xiao Xiang stole something by herself, and then blamed Shi Sheng?

This night, everyone spent sleepless.

Early the next morning, Uncle Zheng brought Xuan'er over, only to see that her eyes were red, and she seemed to have cried, she came to mean that she wanted to go to Houfu with Shi Mu.

In the end, all three of them went, Ling Ruo stayed and waited for news, when she was the only one left, Ling Ruo returned to the wooden bed where she had slept for more than a month, and took out a small cloth bag from the bottom, which was a pair of mutton fat jade white bracelets and a few beaded flowers, all of which she brought with her when she escaped from Tongzhou, and later in order to avoid attracting attention, she collected these things, after all, these things are from the palace, in case they are found by those who chase and kill them, it will lead to death!

I thought that I would never use these things in my life, but now, alas, Shi Sheng has always been his savior, and when he is in trouble, how can he sit idly by. However, once these things are taken out, they must not stay in Qingjiang Town, and they must leave immediately.

At noon, Uncle Zheng and his group came back, in just half a day's effort, Shi Mu seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, haggard, when she saw Ling Ruo, her and Uncle Zheng's eyes were a little weird.

Entering the house and sitting down, Shi Mu said to Ling Ruo, who was pouring water: "Miss Ling, have you seen Hou Gongzi?" ”

Ling Ruo's hand shook, a few drops of warm tea splashed on the back of his hand, turned around and brought the tea cup to Shi Mu's back and said: "Yes, when I went to the market a few days ago, I had a relationship with Hou Gongzi, if it wasn't for the eldest lady to mention it, I would have forgotten it, what's wrong?" ”

Shi Mu didn't speak for a while, and it was Uncle Zheng who told the matter as it was, it turned out that when they went to Houfu today, Hou Mu Bai Gongzi saw them, but no matter how Shi Mu begged, he refused to let go, and said that he would either pay three hundred taels or see him at the yamen, and there was no room for accommodation.

After that, there was an invitation from the prince of Beppu, and he left, but there was a little servant who asked them if they knew a very beautiful girl after Hou Mubai left, and said that Hou Gongzi had been thinking about it since they met him in the market last time, and if she was willing to come to intercede, Hou Gongzi would open the net and spare Shi Sheng's life.

"Despicable!" Ling Ruo was originally an extremely intelligent woman, Shi Sheng had just felt that this matter was a little strange when he had an accident, and now when he heard Uncle Zheng say these words, the original unclear place suddenly became clear, and he also figured out the whole thing. Shi Sheng's theft, fundamentally, from beginning to end, is a bureau set up by Hou Mubai, the purpose is to lure himself into the bait, once he steps into the Hou Mansion, then it will become a fish and meat for him to slaughter, and he will never leave by himself.

"Miss Ling!" Shi Mu suddenly pushed away Uncle Zheng's support, knelt down in front of Ling Ruo, and said with tears in her eyes: "I know that this matter makes you very embarrassed, but I only have one son in Shisheng, and if he dies, my wife doesn't want to live anymore." I beg you, for the sake of Shi Sheng saving you back, go and plead with that Hou Gongzi and let him let Shi Sheng come back, as for the silver...... We'll give him a little bit of it! ”

Her kneeling made Ling Ruo hurry, and she hurriedly bent over to help, "Aunt Shi, you get up first." ”

"No, if you don't grant me this request, I won't be able to kneel long." Shi Mu has lived a lot of age, and she can guess a little bit about Hou Mubai's intentions, knowing that she shouldn't be so strong, but people are selfish, she only has to give birth to a son, no matter how against her conscience, she hopes that Shi Sheng can be safe.

"Auntie, you get up first, there may not be no way to do Shi Sheng's affairs." No matter how Ling Ruo persuaded her, Shi Mu just refused to get up, in her opinion, there was no other way to seek Shi Sheng.

"Girl, you...... You just go and beg the prince!" Uncle Zheng also said beside him.

Hou Mubai, a gentleman, has always been lustful, if he goes, his innocence will definitely be difficult to guarantee; But if he doesn't go, Shi Sheng will die, how can he be worthy of their mother and son, in the final analysis, the cause of this disaster still lies with himself.

Ling Ruo's mind changed sharply, and he made up his mind and said: "Auntie, listen to me, Shi Sheng's matter may not be the only way to go, I still have a way." ”
