Chapter 20: Knowing the Current
Chen Yanrong took the children to play in the yard, while Lu Yao went into the house and put all the harvest of the day into the space.
After everything was cleaned up, the two of them sat under the eaves with their children to play.
It was said to be playing, but in fact, it was mainly Lu Yao teaching the two children how to do handicrafts.
As for the materials, they are naturally sourced locally.
There are so many weeds in the yard, just use them as a makeshift.
Lu Yao's hands were very skillful. The weeds that could be found everywhere slowly turned into a cute little rabbit under her manipulation.
"Wow, Mommy is amazing."
The two children were shocked but more than that they admired him and said that they wanted to learn it too.
Lu Yao wanted to rub the two children's heads, but her hands were covered with grass debris, so she had to give up.
"Okay, Mom will teach you." she said.
Chen Yanrong also joined in the fun and said that he also wanted to learn. Lu Yao had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's all learn."
Anyway, I have to stay in prison for the next few days. I might as well learn a skill. Maybe I can make a living by doing it if I am desperate in the future.
Lu Yao thought jokingly.
At this time, there was a faint sound of noisy crying coming from the distance.
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong looked at each other, and both saw the relief in each other's eyes.
"Sister Yao, do you think I'm cruel?" Although he knew how things were going to develop in advance, he didn't have the slightest intention of warning anyone.
Lu Yao didn't understand why this fool had such an idea. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's the inevitable outcome, whether you're there or not."
The power of the plot cannot be shaken by a butterfly like her.
Furthermore...
"Do you regret it?" Lu Yao teased.
Shen Yanrong shook his head: "The Shen family and I have long been strangers. Now that I know what they did back then, it is even more impossible for me to forgive them."
He only regretted that he couldn't send that man to the west with his own hands to avenge his mother and his maternal grandfather's family.
"That's it," Lu Yao said, sharing the same hatred with the enemy. "They deserved it." Thinking of what happened to their family, she felt even more angry. "When things were going well, they couldn't benefit from it, and now they're bringing trouble to our family of four."
Who can be happy about this?
Speaking of this, Chen Yanrong felt a little guilty. Not only did his wife and children not live a good life with him, but they were implicated because of his identity. He really...
Seeing that he was about to get stuck in a rut again, Lu Yao said something else: "Everything Shen Shiren has done over the years will be thoroughly investigated. I believe that my grandfather and his family will be able to redress their wrongdoings soon."
But the deceased is gone, and the sufferings of these years have been endured, and it is still hard to come to terms with it.
She also hated the Shen family. When she thought of the ending of herself, her husband and children in the book, she wished she could send all of them to the West to find the Buddha.
After all, they deserve to be husband and wife, as they have such similar ideas and concepts.
Yun Hao, who was studying the little rabbit with his sister, pretended not to hear his parents' conversation and spoke to his sister in a very loud voice to make sure that she would not hear anything.
Hey, he is just a six-year-old child, why should he endure so much?
Lu Yao was amused by the little guy's appearance. She blinked at Chen Yanrong and pouted in the direction of the little guy.
How come their little Yunhao is so popular?
Don’t think that children are too young to understand anything. In fact, children are smarter and more sensible than adults think. Hiding everything from them may not be good for their growth.
Therefore, even for little Xinyue, they would tell her some things as appropriate, so that she could develop the habit of thinking about problems independently.
Now that their lives are about to undergo earth-shaking changes, they must be mentally prepared.
"Mom, when can we go back?" little Xinyue suddenly asked.
She likes her home more than here. Although it is not as lively and lively as in the city, and the environment is not as good as in the city, she can go to many places to play with other children, and go to the mountains with her parents to look for herbs, freely.
When Lu Yao heard the child's innocent question, her eyes became hot. She was afraid that they would not be able to go back in a short time.
The officers and soldiers arrived very quickly. After a while, the sound of impressive footsteps could be heard outside the door, and it was obvious that they were well-trained.
In addition to her admiration for the military, she also had a special feeling for the guards. Even though she knew what she was about to face, she did not panic too much.
"This place is so remote and desolate, is there really anyone living here?"
"Could the people living here be from the Shen family?"
"Who knows about this wealthy family?"
"In short, we just do our own thing. The rest is not our business."
“…”
The people who were talking were speaking very loudly, and everyone in the yard heard it clearly. Fortunately, there was no malice in their words, which made the couple feel relieved.
They held the two children in their arms and waited for the officers and soldiers to come in.
The gate of the courtyard was pushed open from the outside, and when I looked closely, I saw a group of soldiers in armor.
These soldiers exude a cold aura, and are obviously very different from the ordinary guards in the city. Especially the man with the tie, his eyes are very sharp, and once you meet his, you will feel like you are being hunted by a hunter.
These people should all be men who have actually been on the battlefield, seen blood, and killed enemies.
When someone arrived, the two of them quickly got up, holding the child.
Shen Yanrong asked respectfully, "Soldiers, what are you doing?"
The leader looked around the yard, then at the clothes of several people, with a complicated expression. This should be the eldest son of the Shen family, right?
When Shen Yanrong answered this question in the affirmative, the leader looked at them with a little sympathy. Although this family had the title of the eldest son, they lived such a hard life. Thinking of the news he had heard before, he felt even more pity.
The Shen family is not a human being, and now they are implicated because of the Shen family. It is really pitiful.
Thinking of this, his attitude towards the family of four became much gentler, and he simply explained his purpose.
The general meaning is that Shen Shiren disregarded the emperor's favor, framed his colleagues, embezzled money, and allowed his family members and servants to harm his neighbors. He was disloyal, unkind, and unjust. He is now dismissed from his post and investigated, and his entire family is imprisoned pending sentencing.
"You mean my father, he..." Shen Yanrong was shocked and looked unbelieving.
"This is an order issued by the emperor himself. We will definitely find out the truth." The leader couldn't bear it when he saw that Shen Yanrong was still worried about his father at this time, so he didn't say anything more.
"Thank you all for your help." Shen Yanrong thanked everyone, said nothing more, and took the initiative to cooperate with their work.
As for Shen Shiren's matter, as a son who was kicked out of the house, he cared too much and it would cause misunderstanding. It would be better for him to be honest about the amount of compensation to leave a good impression on these people.
Seeing how cooperative they were, the leader compared their attitude towards them with that of the previous courtyards and became a little better.
This legitimate young master is better than those who are not legitimate.
When they entered the house and saw the empty room, they felt even more sympathy for the young master.
Thinking that they had been kicked out of the Shen family a long time ago and were now forced to come back because of other things, they simply put up a seal and took their people to meet up in front.
Before the group reached the front yard, they heard crying and wailing coming from the distance. When they heard that those people were threatening to die and refused to cooperate, the leader's face instantly darkened and he immediately ordered that all those who refused to cooperate be tied up and dragged back.
Hearing this, Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong were extremely relieved.
Sure enough, those who know how to adapt to the times are not only heroes, but also receive preferential treatment.
