"These letters are..."
Shu Ying frowned, pulled the hairpin out of her hair, and gently peeled off the wax seal.
Upon unfolding and reading them word by word, it was discovered that all of these letters were written in the handwriting of Shu Xuecheng, the uncle.
What was written inside sent chills down her spine.
She had always been puzzled as to why her parents, who had already tried to keep a low profile, were still targeted by others time and time again.
She suspected that someone was behind this, but she never expected that the person would be her own relative.
She felt a tightness in her throat and couldn't swallow the breath no matter what.
Originally, he intended to throw those so-called "banned books" at Shu Xuecheng's house in a fit of anger.
This way, he can be labeled as "knowingly committing a crime and promoting feudal superstition."
As a result, Shu Xuecheng's days in prison will certainly not be easy.
But Shu Ying wasn't an impulsive person, and she quickly calmed down and realized that this was inappropriate.
The so-called "banned books" in her collection are all top-notch professional books in their respective fields.
It contains not only medical texts, but also many ancient books passed down from ancient times.
Some of them are about feng shui, and some have become rare copies due to the wars of previous years. Some are even related to historical events.
Aside from Shuying's place, it can't be found anywhere else.
She knew how valuable and important these books were for historical research.
Shu Xuecheng is just a worthless life, not worth paying such a high price to deal with him.
She also thought of her friend, Weng Lanhui, who had been sent down to the countryside with her.
Weng Lanhui's family is not well-off now, but her ancestors were very wealthy and were a scholarly family that had lasted for over a hundred years.
The ancient books kept in her home could fill an entire truck.
Not only are all the books exquisite, but some are even ancient books that Shu Ying had only seen in books before, such as the Yongle Encyclopedia, Guo Que, and Annotations on Su Dongpo's Poems.
She witnessed these books being taken away with her own eyes and knew that those who took them could never possibly understand how important they were.
It won't be long before they're all reduced to ashes.
It is precisely because of this precedent that Shu Ying is now being particularly cautious.
She was determined to protect the rare books she had hidden in the space, and absolutely could not allow the same tragedy to happen again.
Shu Xuecheng and his wife have never been capable at all. Although they are quite old, their brains are full of shit.
They've always lived off their family's wealth, fattening themselves up to a crisp.
Now that the Shu family has fallen, they have no one to rely on and have lost all their treasures; they are completely finished.
This couple is not going to do anything good, whether it's arresting them or making them spend their lives in jail.
They should wait until this catastrophe is over, their crimes are pardoned, and they regain their freedom.
Their lives are certainly not much better.
Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie were both pampered people with no ability to take care of themselves.
Even if they are forced into a desperate situation, they may not necessarily be able to swallow their pride and abandon their past to make a living by working odd jobs.
