Shang Yuanshan said with a smile: "Yan Qing, let him go. There are people in the prison waiting for us to take action, but we just can't find any evidence against them."
"Ah~" Shang Qing'an was deflated, and he sat down on the chair. "Daddy, why don't you go find the emperor and ask him to execute Shang Wanning directly, which would make people happy."
Shang Yanqing sighed: "Do you think the emperor and father don't want to?"
"Then kill him."
"Do you know how Daddy would be criticized if Shang Wanning died?"
Shang Qingan frowned: "He did something wrong."
"There is no evidence."
Shang Qingan slapped his thigh. "If I had known that when I forged the letter to Madam Cong, I should have written that Shang Wanning knew about it. This is really ruined."
Shang Yanqing couldn't help but pat Shang Qingan on the head. "Are you stupid? Can they believe everything written in detail?"
"Oh~"
"That's not right, big brother. What does Shang Wanning's death have to do with daddy?"
"If there is no evidence, what will the death penalty be for? Then people will say that Daddy can't tolerate his brothers, and cruelly killed his mother and then killed his brothers."
"No, brother, it is the Li family that has harmed our family."
Shang Yanqing shook his head. "But filial piety comes first. We had the right time, right place, and right people. Everything was brought to us by them. If we took the initiative, people would still throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at our door."
Shang Qingan nodded dumbly. "The water is too deep, too scary, and my head hurts."
[Hahaha, it turns out that the second brother is not very smart.] Shang Yangyang covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
Shang Qingan looked back at the snickering Shang Yangyang, and he ran forward. "Xiao Yangyang, hehe." Shang Qingan stared at Shang Yangyang with a sly smile.
"Ah, Erguo is crazy~" Shang Yangyang pulled Yun Shu aside and they ran out.
Shang Qingan was chasing after them from behind, and they couldn't stop laughing when watching this scene.
Yun Shu: "Yangyang, slow down~"
"Huff, huff, huff~" Shang Yangyang panted and stopped. She turned back to look at Shang Qingan who was still following behind her: "Stop."
Shang Qingan stopped obediently. "Yangyang is tired?"
"Hmph~ I don't want to play."
Shang Qingan nodded: "Okay, Second Brother won't chase you anymore."
Shang Yangyang was really tired from running, so she just lay down on the grass. "Yunyun, first period."
Yun Shu followed Shang Yangyang and lay down on the ground. They both looked up at the sky, lost in thought. Shang Qingan also came over and sat next to Shang Yangyang.
Shang Yangyang stuck out her tongue at him, then continued to look at the blue sky, and heard Yun Shu say, "Yangyang, I'm going back to the Yun Mansion tonight."
"Ah?" Shang Yangyang couldn't help but tilt her head when she heard that, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Yun Shu said to her with a gentle smile and soft eyes: "Yangyang, today is the seventh day after my father's death. I want to burn some paper money for him, and I can't stay in the mansion forever."
Shang Yangyang sat up with a somersault and said hastily, "You can do it all the time."
Yun Shu also sat up. "Yangyang, you can come to see me often in the future, and I can come to see you often, but I need to stabilize the Yun Mansion. This is my responsibility, and I don't want to hand my fate over to those so-called relatives."
Shang Qingan, who was standing by, knew why Yun Shu was like this, and he knew in his heart why Yun Shu was so persistent. Recently, Yun Qiyu's cousins and uncles frequently visited the Marquis' Mansion. They were under the banner of taking care of Yun Shu, but in fact they coveted the Yun family's property.
In the past few days, Yun Shu's attitude clearly showed that she didn't want them to be involved, and she didn't want to let her future life be controlled by those greedy relatives, so she decided to return to the Yun Mansion. But facing those greedy relatives, how can a seven-year-old child protect herself?
Shang Yangyang also knew what had happened in the past few days, but she just couldn't bear to let her good friend face those things. Shang Yangyang's tears fell, and she turned and ran away.
Seeing Shang Yangyang like this, Yun Shu couldn't hold back her tears and chased after him. "Yangyang, slow down."
Shang Qing'an sighed and followed after him.
Shang Yangyang had already rushed into Shang Yuanshan's arms, sobbing.
"Yangyang, did your second brother bully you?"
Shang Qingan, who had just caught up with him, quickly explained: "It wasn't me, I didn't bully Yangyang."
Yun Shu explained on the side: "Lord Shang is me."
Shang Yangyang raised her head. "Not like that, Yunyun..." The more Shang Yangyang spoke, the more she cried. But they heard Shang Yangyang's inner voice, and with Shang Qingan's words, they all knew what was going on.
Shang Yuanshan rubbed Shang Yangyang's head and looked at Yun Shu. "Yun Shu, are you sure you want to go back to the Yun Mansion?"
"I want to go back to the Yun Mansion."
Shang Yuanshan: "Yunshu, you are in the Marquis' Mansion, we won't make things difficult for you."
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously to show that she agreed with Shang Yuanshan's words.
"Lord Shang, you have helped me a lot, but I can't always live under your protection."
Shang Yuanshan smiled and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, we won't stop you."
Shang Yangyang jumped down in Shang Yuanshan's arms. She put her hands on her waist and looked at Shang Yuanshan: "It's dangerous."
"Wait until Daddy finishes speaking."
"Oh." Shang Yangyang retracted her momentum and waited for her father to continue.
Shang Yuanshan looked at Yun Shu and continued, "But you are still young and have many things to learn. If you want to go back to Yun Mansion to live, we won't stop you, but you can see that Yangyang is worried.
You can help me, uncle, by letting me send people to Yun Mansion to protect you. After you have trained your own people, my people will withdraw from Yun Mansion, okay?"
Yun Shu's eyes were filled with tears at this time. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shang."
"We should thank you. From now on, our little fellow will definitely come to your house to bother you more often."
"No trouble, I like Yangyang very much."
"Hehe." Shang Yangyang stood aside and laughed. She ran to Yun Shu. "Let's go tonight."
"good."
"Hehe~" Shang Yangyang hugged Yun Shu tightly.
Shang Yangyang really did as Shang Yuanshan said, she went to Yun Mansion every day and even spent more time in Yun Mansion than in Hou Mansion.
The capital city was relatively calm during these four months. The only thing that caused a sensation was the government's introduction of fine salt and the promulgation of new laws, which prohibited anyone from privately refining fine salt, otherwise they would be treated as selling contraband salt.
Once this fine salt and the law came out, coupled with Lu Guze's swift and decisive handling of the matter, the salt smuggling business suffered a severe blow and the national treasury was greatly enriched.
Lu Mubai slammed the account book in his hand. "In just four months, the private salt business has already started to lose money."
Wang Liang's breath stagnated, and he said with difficulty: "Your Highness, ever since the crown prince introduced fine salt that is cheaper than ours, our fine salt has been falling in price.
Later, the crown prince led people to crack down on private salt, and directly confiscated a lot of our salt. Now it is really difficult to make money from private salt."
Lu Mubai took a deep breath to calm himself. "Go away~"
