Zhao Ying was surprised. "Why do you think so? How could your mother bear to sell you?"
Jiang Youhou glanced at his brothers and sisters, his voice choked with sobs and grievance, "Didn't you sell me because my family was poor?"
Everyone: ? ?
The old Duke hid in a corner, and sneered a few times when he heard it. He thought to himself that he would not do that before, but from now on, if the Duke’s Mansion runs out of money, he will sell you off!
Who told you to win all the money?
Zhao Ying cast a questioning look at the children, "Which of you said these words to your brother?"
Shangguan Chengjing Sanwa quickly shook his head.
Shangguan Qingwan looked at Jiang Youhou and said, "Third brother, we wanted to tell you a long time ago, but you wouldn't let us. You were lost by the nanny at home, not sold!"
Now it was Jiang Youhou's turn to be confused.
He looked unwilling to believe it.
Shangguan Bailin came over and gave him a slap on the head. "Silly brother, if our family was so poor that we had to sell you, would we be able to come up with so much silver to gamble with you?"
Jiang Youhou: ...
Jiang Youhou stammered, "Didn't he steal it?"
Everyone was amused by Jiang Youhou's train of thought and laughed helplessly.
Shangguan Chengjing also walked towards Jiang Youhou, took out his eldest brother's money, and patted Jiang Youhou on the shoulder, "Qi You, come home with us, everyone misses you!"
Jiang Youhou fell silent.
Zhao Ying didn't want to embarrass him, so she said, "Let's talk outside. Let's all rest first."
Shangguan Qingwan hugged Zhao Ying's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, there's a pigpen across the street. It's smelly and dirty. How can we rest?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying looked towards the pigpen opposite.
Then, Zheng Miaomiao's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
Then, she slowly shifted her gaze to the cell next to the pigpen. Inside, a man, disheveled and unkempt, sat facing the wall, his identity impossible to discern...
Zhao Ying was frightened by her own guess.
No, it wouldn't be such a coincidence...
However, she had already spoken.
He called out weakly towards the cell, "Third Uncle?"
As soon as the words fell, the entire cell fell silent, so quiet that only the snoring of the pigs could be heard.
Old Duke: ...
Shangguan Zhu: ...
Shangguan Chengjing, Bai Lin, Qingwan: ...
Jiang Youhou:? ?
Shangguan Zhu walked towards the cell across the street, grabbed the bars, and called out in disbelief, "Third brother?"
The man inside seemed to have heard his voice, his back trembled, as if he couldn't believe it. He paused deliberately, then slowly turned around.
Everyone met each other.
I don't know who gasped.
Shangguan Dan felt like he was hallucinating for a moment. He murmured, "I must be missing home too much. I'm hallucinating..."
He rubbed his eyes desperately and looked again...
Um?
Was he seeing things?
"Second brother!!! Dad!!"
Shangguan Dan was wearing a prison uniform that was stained all over. His black hair was messy and stuck together in clumps. He looked even more miserable than a beggar!
He rushed towards the railing like a wild monkey...
The strong pig odor from Shangguan Dan's body came into Shangguan Zhu's nose across the corridor. Shangguan Zhu couldn't help but block his nose and took a few steps back, bending over and retching.
"vomit!"
"Third brother, just stand there and don't come over again!"
There was a hint of crazy excitement in Shangguan Dan's eyes. He grabbed the railing with both hands, and half of his face was squeezed out from the railing.
He stared at Zhao Ying with his eyes wide open and grinned, "Sister-in-law is here too! Sister-in-law!! It's me, Third Brother!!"
Zhao Ying pursed her lips, unable to bear to look.
Shangguan Dan had never called her so affectionately before...
Shangguan Bailin screamed, "Uncle San, how did you become like this?"
The old Duke also stood up at this time and looked at Shangguan Dan with an unconcealable look of disgust on his face.
"Third brother, how did you get yourself into this state!"
Shangguan Dan almost burst into tears when he heard this.
As to why he became like this, it’s all thanks to Zheng Miaomiao!
As a judge of the Dali Temple, even if he was imprisoned, he would be kept in the cleanest and tidiest cell, the kind that could get sunlight, and be supplied with fresh fruits and vegetables every day, clean clothes to change into, and even a bath every day if he wanted to.
However……
The whole tragedy started when the two pigs were sent in!
All the jailers he arranged were replaced. With the replacement of the jailers, naturally all the benefits were gone. Not only that, even the daily meals to sustain life were gone.
Even these two pigs had food delivered to them, but he didn’t!!
He yelled and cursed, but no one paid any attention to him!
He cried out to heaven and earth but no one answered him!
Finally, when he was dizzy with hunger, he looked at the pig's trough.
Perhaps it was fate... The pig's stone trough led to the pigpen on one side and to his cell on the other...
While he was having lunch with the two pigs, Zheng, the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Justice, walked in.
Laughing so hard that he fell over.
"Hehehe... There are all kinds of new things in this world. Someone married a princess... and someone, hehehe, actually married a boar! Hahahahahahahaha."
The laughter almost broke his eardrums.
Then, Zheng Miaomiao talked about her long-standing hatred for him.
Only then did he understand a saying: Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
Woman, you really hold a grudge!
He couldn't get out even if he wanted to.
He can't get the message out at all!!
Just like that, day after day, he ate, drank, defecated, urinated and slept with the two pigs... He really couldn't imagine that if time went on for a long time, would he forget that he was a human being?
