He threw himself into Mrs. Shen's arms and sobbed. Seeing this, the whole family was in tears again, and it seemed that their tears were about to run dry.

It’s a pity that Shen Min can’t speak yet. No one knows why she came here or what she encountered along the way. These mysteries have yet to be solved.

Shen Min, who was already weak, could no longer bear the stimulation of several excited tears. Looking at his sleepy daughter, Shen Yan stopped talking and comforted her:

"Min'er, if you're tired, take a nap. This is your home, so just sleep peacefully. We can continue to spend time together tomorrow morning."

Old Madam Shen nodded repeatedly, and the tired Shen Min fell asleep again. Everyone turned around and left because they were worried about disturbing her rest.

Old Madam Shen gently placed her daughter in her arms on the bed and prepared to get up and leave. However, she did not expect that her thighs were numb because of her improper posture when she was supporting Shen Min. When she stood up, she accidentally fell to the ground.

"mother!"

Mother Shen was originally walking behind, and she couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this situation. She didn't expect that there was a sister-in-law still lying on the bed.

The others also turned around and looked over. It was Shen Yan, who was closest, who reacted in time and supported his old wife.

Everyone felt that the scene just now was extremely terrifying. If someone of Old Lady Shen's age fell down, what would happen?

Shen Yu also hurried over to help Old Madam Shen up, and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go get the doctor right away."

As he was about to turn around and walk outside, Old Madam Shen grabbed his sleeve and explained:

"I'm fine. My legs are a little numb from sitting by the bed for so long. I'll be fine after a while. Don't bother the doctor with such trivial matters. He's already come to our house twice today. It would be rude to come again."

And help me out quickly. If you continue to disturb your sister's rest, I will teach you a lesson."

He was even in a hurry to walk out regardless of his inconvenient legs and feet. Father Shen quickly turned back and supported Mrs. Shen on the other side, and everyone left quietly.

Mother Shen, who was walking at the back, realized that the noise she had just made was quite loud, and guilt immediately appeared on her face.

Looking back at Shen Min lying on the bed, it seemed as if she hadn't heard anything, still lying in the same position as before, I could finally let go of my worried heart.

When everyone was leaving, they happened to meet Mrs. Jiang who came to ask if dinner was ready. Shen Jia hurried over and after knowing that she was asking about dinner, he asked her to put the food away first and the meal would be served soon. After saying that, he waved his hand to signal her to leave first.

A stranger appeared in the house, and no one except Shen Jia and Shen's mother paid much attention to him. Everyone was still immersed in the sadness of seeing Shen Min's miserable condition for the first time.

Especially Mrs. Shen, who was already in poor health, Shen Jia felt that she looked more tired and older than ever before.

Even if he was in a bad mood, he couldn't skip a meal. So Shen Jia came forward, walked beside his grandfather, and whispered, "Grandfather, the servants just said that the food is ready, and we can eat now."

Chen Yan looked at Shen Jia, who was talking quietly with his head bowed, then glanced at his wife, and said behind everyone's back: "Let's have dinner first. I will continue to consult the county magistrate on other matters. We can discuss the rest after Min Niang wakes up."

In this way, the group moved to the dining area, where the food was already placed. It was still the southern style that Shen's mother had been thinking about before, but it was a pity that she had no appetite now.

Everyone's appetite is still not very good, and Shen Ci has not returned yet. At the dinner table, Shen Yan couldn't help but ask again:

"Shen Jia, please tell me more carefully. What happened when you saw your aunt? Your uncle's account just now wasn't clear. I want to hear what you have to say."

Although everyone knew that understanding would make their hearts ache even more, as soon as their grandfather said it, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Jia.

Facing everyone's gaze, Shen Jia slowly spoke, "My mother and I originally wanted to buy the poor brother and sister there. Just as we were about to discuss with the broker, someone suddenly banged against the wood in the wooden cage next to us. After hearing the noise, my mother turned around and recognized that the person was my aunt.

I even thought I was seeing things and looked a few more times, and then I almost exposed myself as a relative of a slave in front of the broker. My granddaughter had no choice but to step forward and deal with the broker..."

Shen Jia asked himself if he had told the people at the table everything about his encounter with Shen Min in detail, without leaving anything out.

Mother Shen nodded heavily after hearing this, but the others felt even more uncomfortable than before. Anyone who knew that a daughter whom they loved so much was being locked up in a cage like a lowly slave and not treated as a human being would be unable to control themselves.

Shen Han heard a more detailed version this time. He was furious. He stood up with a bang and kicked the chair under him.

"I really can't stand it anymore. These people are clearly doing the same thing as human traffickers! They're actually making my sister suffer. If I saw this, I'd beat them to a pulp!"

The look of gnashing teeth was the most ferocious that Shen Jia had ever seen. It seemed that Shen Min was really loved by her family. No one else raised any objection to Shen Han's words.

This was what Shen Ci saw when he came back. He was also worried, and when he sat down he said, "In this case, we can go to the gathering place of the yamen tomorrow to guard it, and by the way, get some news for the county magistrate."

"You're right. I'll be there early tomorrow morning. If I don't go up and lend a hand, I'd be incompetent."

Shen Han immediately agreed to Shen Ci's proposal and was willing to step forward to be a pawn. When his grandparents heard this, they did not object, which meant that they also agreed with this decision, otherwise it would be difficult to let go of their hatred.

No one ate much during this meal as they were all worried about Shen Min. Fuqiu, who came back last, came back very late because she was dealing with something in the workshop and had to eat the midnight snack prepared by Shen Jia in the kitchen.

Seeing the young lady preparing food for herself, no one could tell how excited Fuqiu was. Looking at the bowl full of minced meat noodle soup, she said with tears in her eyes:

"Thank you, Miss. Actually, I can do it myself. There is no need for you to do it for me personally. I can't bear it."

"You don't have to be like this. Today, the Shen family suddenly brought back the injured aunt. No one paid attention to you, and I forgot that this was an apology to you. Just eat."

"Aunt? How come there is an aunt in the Shen family? According to her age, she should be married, right? I remember that misfortune does not affect married women, so why did she go home?"

"No one knows what happened now. We can talk about this later. You should focus on the workshop. You don't need to worry about things at home."

Shen Jia looked at Fuqiu eating noodles and recalled the scene when he first met Shen Min. The scene was really shocking.

After that night, Shen Jia continued to work on his workshop. Looking at the new workshop that had already taken shape, he began to think carefully in his mind. At the same time, the arrest operation on the other side had also begun.

Maybe Shen Jia really didn't expose himself in any way yesterday, so they were still staying there peacefully, and were a little at a loss when faced with the officers and soldiers who suddenly surrounded them.

Magistrate Wu Wei looked at the traffickers tightly surrounded in the center and shouted, "Catch them all! Don't let any one go!"

At the same time, uncle and nephew Shen Han and Shen Ci, who had been waiting in the distance, saw this scene. In the end, they saw everyone being caught and the imprisoned people being rescued.

Only then were the two willing to turn around and leave. After watching the criminal being caught, they left to report the news to their families. Because their daughter had gotten into this kind of trouble, Shen Yan also asked for leave from the Qin family and stayed at home to keep an eye on Shen Min's condition.

After seeing the situation, Shen Ci turned and went to the local workshop, while Shen Han went home to tell everyone the good news.

After the two of them told others about these things, Shen Min, who was listening on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief as if he had let out a burst of anger. Seeing this, everyone felt even more distressed.

Just when everyone was still thinking about how to comfort Shen Min, Ma Song stepped forward and reported: "Master, there are distinguished guests outside. Please move aside."

Looking at the little boy who was bought into the house with his daughter, Chen Yan walked out of the room and said with concern:

"There's no need to be so formal when doing things in our family. Did the person outside tell us their name? We, the Shen family, don't know anyone in the Northern Territory."

Ma Song did not relax after hearing this, but continued with his head down, "There seems to be a scholar outside, who looks very bookish. The name he announced is Wu Wei."

"Wu Wei! This is the name of the magistrate of Linyuan County. Go and call out the people in the room. I'll go to the door to greet them first."

He had just heard that the magistrate had arrested the human trafficker, and now that he was visiting, Chen Yan felt for the first time that perhaps not all of the students he had accepted as an official were ungrateful.

He also got a little reward. When he arrived at the gate of the Shen family, he saw the magistrate Wu Wei appear with a man. He couldn't help but shout:

"Huaiyuan, why are you still here today? Your teacher is currently serving his sentence. If you continue to interact with the Shen family, it will be detrimental to your career."

"Master, this is serious. What can others say when I come to visit you? Besides, everyone knows the reason why you were demoted. Who knows, the emperor might show mercy and reinstate you in the future.

At my age, I am still just a small county official in the remote northern border. It seems that there is no hope of promotion in this life, so what is the point of talking about a career in the government? "

Hearing Chen Yan's words of concern, Wu Wei was filled with emotion. He had finally become an official, but could only work hard in this remote place. His original ambition was long gone.

After sighing, he also found that Shen Yan's eyes looking at him were full of regret, so he bowed again to express his apology, "Just treat these words of your students as wind, which will be blown away. Because of what happened yesterday, I came to visit you today."
