The wind was howling at night, and everyone looked at the gloomy sky, saying that it would definitely rain or snow tomorrow or the day after.

When Shen Qianli returned with the firewood, his expression was not good.

Knowing what he was thinking, Madam Zhou advised him, "Don't overthink it. It's a good thing that the princess hasn't found Wanli's family yet."

If we find it, wouldn't we be close to death?

Shen Qianli sighed, "It's so cold, I wonder where they went. The adults are alright, but Liu Liu is so small, I hope she doesn't get too cold."

He was really worried.

But apart from worrying about not being able to eat every day at home, there was nothing else he could do.

What kind of older brother or uncle is he?

“Father, don’t worry. I think Uncle’s family should still be at the county government office,” Zhou Yushu suddenly said, surprising everyone.

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Yun'er grabbed his arm anxiously and asked urgently, "Really? How did you know?"

"Yun'er, think about it, the fact that the princess hasn't been found for so many days can only mean that your uncle and the others have hidden her in a place that the princess hasn't been looking for."

The princess's men have been guarding the entrance to Qingyang Town, so it's impossible for Uncle's family to leave Qingyang Town.

"So, think about it, the princess's men turned the entire Qingyang Town upside down, but wasn't there one place they never checked?"

This is something he only just realized.

How could it be so easy to escape?

If I had that ability, I wouldn't have been arrested.

So someone must have helped them.

"You mean... the county magistrate, or someone in the county government who has the final say?" Shen Yun'er was incredibly clever and understood immediately.

This is also an important reason why she and Zhou Yushu get along well.

Zhou Yushu liked talking to intelligent people, especially his wife.

“Clever. The princess’s people made the mistake of being blind to what’s right under their noses, and with the magistrate injured, they’ve been neglecting the county government.”

Zhou Yushu said with a smile.

So, Uncle's family is safe for the time being; they won't go hungry or get cold.

"But why did those adults help your uncle's family? There are so many good people out there." The naive little Zhou thought it was Chun Chun's kindness.

You have to admit, the mother and daughter are just alike in temperament.

Shen Yun'er also said, "Yes, there are still more good people than bad in this world."

"You two, mother and daughter, are really simple-minded," Shen Qianli couldn't help but complain.

Luckily there were a lot of people?

Shen Yun'er and Xiao Zhou were completely bewildered and asked blankly, "Isn't it because of good intentions? We've never heard of Uncle knowing or being on good terms with the people in the county government."

“Yun’er, think about it. The princess is a princess who lives far away in the capital. Why would she pick a fight with a commoner from Lotus Village? And why would she travel all this way to cause trouble? No one in my family has ever left the city, let alone gone to the capital.”

Zhou Yushu's favorite thing to see was his wife's adorable and innocent expression.

However, staying at my father-in-law's house now is quite inconvenient.

But Zhou Yushu couldn't resist and reached out to squeeze his wife's hand.

Shen Yun'er's palms itched, and a blush gradually rose to her cheeks.

"What are you doing?!"

Shen Qianli was so angry he was practically fuming.

He's still here!

Shen Qianli glared fiercely at Zhou Yushu, and then forcefully sat down between his daughter and Zhou Yushu.

Strictly guard against and defend!

Make sure the two of them don't have any eye contact from any angle!

Zhou Yushu: ...

Shen Yun'er's face immediately turned hot.

"You old fool, what are you doing?" Little Zhou was speechless.

The son-in-law has already explained everything clearly, so there's no need for him to keep keeping a dark face. He should also consider his daughter's situation.

That old geezer.

"Never mind that, I just think this is the most comfortable place to sit." Shen Qianli said with a dark face.

The whole family: ...

This old man... I really don't know what to say.

However, everyone subconsciously chose not to argue with an elderly father.

"...By the way, Yushu, you just said that the princess came here on purpose to get revenge on your uncle? But your uncle doesn't even know her."

Little Zhou then remembered what she had just said and couldn't quite understand it.

Zhou Yushu said, "It must be that boy named An'an. I heard he's also from the capital. I guess the people who helped Uncle's family this time were doing it because of An'an."

Adding flowers to brocade is nothing compared to providing charcoal in the snow.

Of course, there's still the possibility that the person who helped the old man was simply kind-hearted.

Both are possible.

But he always felt that the greater reason for taking such a big risk was for the sake of profit.

"That's not bad... So what do we do now? Should we just keep waiting? Zhou Yushu, do you have a way to get out?"

Shen Qianli asked.

Although he hasn't forgiven his son-in-law yet, he hasn't been coy when it comes to Wanli's affairs.

"I am now..."

Before Zhou Yushu could finish speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from the courtyard.

Shen Qianli and Zhou Yushu immediately got up and went out.

In the courtyard, there was a blurry figure under the moonlight.

"who?"

Shen Qianli lowered his voice and asked.

He didn't want to attract attention, lest he draw the attention of the princess's people.

"Ahem, Second Uncle, it's me."

Under the moonlight, Shen Tiantian's weak voice could be heard.

"Sweetie?"

Shen Qianli recognized Shen Tiantian's voice and was surprised: "How come it's you?"

The two hurried forward.

Shen Tiantian was lying on the ground in a disheveled state, seemingly unable to get up after the fall.

"Ouch."

Shen Qianli quickly picked up Shen Tiantian and carried her straight back into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Wife, quickly check if Tian Tian is hurt anywhere."

This child looks injured.

Since it was no longer appropriate for Shen Qianli and Zhou Yushu to stay in the house, the two of them went outside.

Xiao Zhou immediately fetched a basin of warm water and washed Shen Tiantian.

Looking at the numerous wounds, large and small, on Shen Tiantian's frail body, Xiao Zhou's heart trembled with heartache: "That's too cruel, that's heartless! You're still just a child..."

Shen Yun'er was also heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. She gently stroked Shen Tiantian's long hair again and again to comfort her.

"Sweetie, it's okay, it's okay, everything will be alright. You're home now, everything's alright, really."

Actually, Shen Tiantian's injuries were not serious.

Things like falls, bumps, or scratches aren't too serious.

Shen Tiantian quickly explained, "Second Aunt, Sister Yun'er, don't worry, I'm really fine. I... I have something I want to talk to my brother-in-law about."

She's already wasted quite a bit of time; if she delays any longer, things might get messed up.

"Oh? We still need to apply the medicine first."

Looking at the wounds on her child's body, Mrs. Zhou felt extremely distressed.

But Shen Tiantian refused: "Let's talk about it after we finish talking."

Having no other choice, Madam Zhou called Shen Qianli and Zhou Yushu back.

Shen Tiantian told Zhou Yushu everything as soon as she saw him.

"...Liu Liu asked me to come to you and ask my brother-in-law to think of a solution."

Shen Tiantian, intentionally or unintentionally, emphasized the name Liu Liu.

It seemed as if they were deliberately reminding everyone.
