Chapter 266 Xiao Yan was arrested
Lu Qinniang could figure out these principles herself.
Whoever's child it is, he or she will feel sorry for it.
Lu Qin's mother felt so distressed when she looked at Daya.
Daya was also silent for a long time.
Finally, she spoke slowly, her long eyelashes stained with tears, but her eyes were firm.
She said, "Dad, Mom, I know the wisest thing for me is to protect myself. But I can't do that. Jiang Xuan treats me very well, and I can't watch him lose every chance of recovery and slowly become a living dead."
If Jiang Xuan could make his own choice now, Daya firmly believed that he would choose to believe in Doctor Hu.
"I think so too." Lu Qin's mother said, "But Daya, how do we tell his parents? I'm afraid you'll be blamed in the future! How about Xiao Yan, I go and tell Jiang Xuan's parents? If anything happens to Jiang Xuan in the future, they can blame me, okay? Don't blame Daya."
"No matter who of you goes to talk to Jiang Xuan's parents, they probably won't agree. I've already persuaded them." Xiao Yan shook his head.
He also thought of what Lu Qiniang could think of.
He was also willing to help Daya bear the possible criticism.
But he didn't do it.
"Dad, Mom, this is my business. Give me some time and I'll figure it out myself. Believe in me, I can do it."
Yun Ting looked at Daya and was very worried. He also helped to make suggestions, "I'll go home and find my father to see if he knows anyone who is familiar with Jiang Xuan's father. That way, I can persuade him. If it really doesn't work, I'll go find my grandmother and see if she can help."
"No need for that." Daya said, "Give me a moment, I'll think about it. Dad, Mom, you guys should first look at the gunpowder issue and get our family out of the way so we don't get implicated."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded.
Daya went back to her room first.
Erya looked at her back and her tears never stopped flowing.
She now hated herself for being useless. She knew her elder sister was sad, but she could not help at all.
She is usually so powerful, but it's all blind power. At the critical moment, she is nothing.
Seeing this, Yun Ting took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.
Arya blew her nose hard.
The family was shrouded in shadow because of this incident, and for a while, no one had the mind to think about the shop business.
The Fifth Young Master and Jiang Yi both heard about this.
They didn't think about the gunpowder, they just thought it was unfortunate that Daya's fiancé had such an incident.
The Fifth Young Master came to see Daya, and Jiang Yi asked the maid to deliver something.
When other good friends heard the news, they came to offer their condolences.
But all these consolations were blocked by Lu Qinniang herself.
Just listen to her and don't let Daya's wounds be opened again and again.
Daya locked herself in the room, and Erya and Sanya didn't dare to go in and disturb her.
No one knows what she is thinking.
But it never rains but it pours.
Zhang Heyao came early in the morning on the 17th.
Although he said he came to see Lu Qin's mother this time, he kept looking at Xiao Yan while speaking.
He said, "Abandoned Mother, I'm afraid you're in trouble this time. The Emperor has ordered the Imperial Guard to investigate the source of the gunpowder, and I'm afraid you'll have to cooperate with the investigation."
"Cooperate if you want." Lu Qiniang said, "I'm not afraid of things I haven't done."
"Emperor's Prison, aren't you afraid?"
"I, I'm not, not afraid!" When Lu Qiniang said this, she was actually feeling guilty and her legs were shaking.
The Jinyiwei Prison is a place that makes people shudder.
The people demonized the Jinyiwei even more.
Lu Qiniang was scared.
But she consoled herself.
There was a little person in her heart telling her, you and Lu Jin had talked!
You are still with the emperor and have a high status. What are you afraid of?
But there was another nasty villain in my heart saying, who are you? The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can he control you?
Not to mention Lu Jin, you call him second brother, but he has never called you sister. Don't try to claim to be related to you.
"You guys should prepare yourself a little bit, that's all I have to say."
For the first time, Zhang Heyao didn't insist too much and just left after saying his words.
After he left, Xiao Yan took Lu Qiniang back to the room.
"Abandoned Mother, listen to me——"
"No, you don't have to say it." Lu Qiniang said firmly, "Xiao Yan, the money earned from the warehouse and shop business is all mine. There is no reason to push you out if something goes wrong."
She knew that Zhang Heyao came to her house and kept staring at Xiao Yan just to make Xiao Yan go out and take the blame for her.
Lu Qiniang doesn't need it.
She has to take care of her own affairs.
In the worst case scenario, she would suffer a little, but she could bear it.
If you can't bear it any longer, you will be tortured into confessing, and the only consequence is death.
Although he was reluctant to part with his daughters, he had already left them dowries. With Daya around, they could get through any hardship or difficulty.
And she believed that since she didn't do it, she would be able to get out.
——If she were to die, wouldn’t the real murderer go unpunished?
How can that be true?
That is a wrongful conviction.
There are unjust cases in the world, but they are a minority after all. She is not that lucky.
But Xiao Yan is different.
Xiao Yan will become the General Po Lu in the future.
He cannot be tortured and cannot be disabled, so what's the difference between that and killing him?
So Lu Qiniang made up her mind not to let Xiao Yan go out no matter what.
Xiao Yan said, "Abandoned Mother, you can't bargain with the government. It's true that the business is yours, and you are in charge of the profits, but don't forget, you are mine."
"How did I become yours?"
"I am the head of the family, and you are my wife." Xiao Yan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, obviously trying his best to calm her down. "You forgot, I didn't marry into the family. I traded the little god for my freedom, and then married you."
If something happens at home, why would you blame a woman?
"No, we are not like that. You have to listen to me!" Lu Qiniang was anxious.
"Don't be anxious, Qi Niang, listen to me. First of all, we are not guilty, we are just suspected and we must cooperate with the investigation. Secondly, others may not know how the emperor treats me, but Lu Jin knows. The emperor didn't dare to abolish me, so Lu Jin wouldn't dare either."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm only going to cooperate with the investigation for a few days. In fact, I'm just taking a break from jail. The burden of the family will fall on you. Especially Zhao Zhao, you need to spend more time with her. Don't worry about me, don't go around looking for someone to save me, I'll be fine."
"No, I don't agree."
But no matter how Lu Qiniang tried to have her arrested, the Jinyiwei still came and took Xiao Yan away.
"We didn't do that kind of thing. We didn't harm the emperor..." Lu Qiniang murmured, "Didn't the emperor know the news in advance? Then why didn't he investigate those people properly instead of coming to find us..."
