The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 81
Su Wanqiu didn't know what to say, so she could only pat Qu Shiran's hand to show comfort.

Qu Shiran received Su Wanqiu's kindness, took a deep breath, shook her head and said to Su Wanqiu with red eyes: "Although so many years have passed, but every time I think about it, my heart still hurts."

Su Wanqiu said with a heartbroken expression: "This kind of loss of a loved one cannot be healed by time. However, the disappearance of Master Yuan alone will not make you fall to the point where you live and sleep in the open."

Qu Shiran looked outside the hall and murmured: "Yes, if it's just a simple disappearance, how could it be reduced to this point?"

Qu Shiran continued to recall.She was stunned by the sudden news.But she still tried her best and hurriedly notified the staff in the mansion, hoping that they could help to make suggestions.Find out how to find Yuan Hesong, and ask them to help report to the official and write the paperwork.

The Jingzhao Mansion accepted this matter, but said that this matter is not under their control, and it should be reported by the officials in the place where the accident happened.However, because the accident happened to a senior member of the court, they can report it to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment on their behalf.Only then did Qu Shiran realize that things might not be that simple.Otherwise, there has been no news from Lingnan for so long.It also depends on the two servants who are traveling with them to notify them.

Soon the Ministry of Punishment sent someone to take away the servant, the coachman and the local official.She waited painfully in the mansion, and also wanted to find out some news through the wives she had befriended in the past few years in the capital.She had thought that these wives are used to stepping on the low and praising the high, but she never thought that those wives who usually bully her all closed their doors to thank guests at this time.

At this time, the staff members in the mansion also asked themselves to leave one by one.But it's a request if it sounds good, and they just tell themselves if it's bad.She had no choice but to send the housekeeper to various yamen to inquire about the news.But the money was spent, but no useful news was found.The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment also kicked the ball with each other.At this time, she really panicked, she was like a person whose hands and feet had been cut off and could do nothing.She spends her days in the mansion with her young Ping'er like years.

She didn't know if the imperial court had sent someone to look for her husband.She didn't know what happened to the boy and the coachman who were taken away, and why they hadn't returned home yet.

Until one day officers and soldiers surrounded their Shangshu Mansion.A man in official uniform held a sacred decree and read it in front of her, and she realized that everyone had blamed her husband Yuan Hesong.They even said that he falsified accounts to frame local officials, and because he was exposed, he absconded in fear of crime.

But the strange thing is that this kind of crime is obviously going to kill everyone.It turned out that they just sealed the Shangshu Mansion, confiscated all the property in their mansion, and drove their mother and son out.She was full of grievances and distress and had nowhere to tell.So she used the silver that Yuan Hesong asked her to prepare, except for staying in the hotel, to write a petition to rehabilitate her husband.

But something even weirder happened.Jingzhao Mansion would accept her case every time, but no one took care of it, and no one in the city talked about it.It seems that there has never been a person like his husband in Beijing, and there has never been a tax deduction in Lingnan.She also made a fuss, but in the end she was just thrown away far away.As if she was a psychopath.

Until all her silver is used up, and all the things she can pawn are used up.She was kicked out of the inn peacefully.Because I put all my thoughts on rehabilitating my husband, and neglected to take care of Ping'er, as a result, Ping'er almost fell ill and died.At this moment, she gave up the idea of ​​finding her husband and rehabilitating him.Because she realizes that the little human being in her arms is all hope.

She tried her best to save Ping'er with the last remaining silver.But there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she never left the capital.She hoped that she could suddenly see her husband in the alleys of the capital.Even if he is disabled, as long as he is still alive.

When hearing Qu Shiran say this, Shao Zhiyan's figure unexpectedly flashed in Su Wanqiu's mind.She couldn't help but froze for a moment.

At this time, Qu Shiran sneered and said: "I haven't seen my husband's figure for so many years, but I have seen those his former aides go in and out of other people's mansions. I know they also want to make a living, so I can understand." They changed the doors. But many of them went to the houses of my husband's political opponents. I couldn't help but suspect that all this was someone else's game. But I can't do anything. "

"And we were supervised when we were about to be kicked out of Yuelaiju, and the only things I had were rummaged. But I really don't have anything of value. So I didn't lose anything. But I think someone wants something from our family. This is also very likely the reason for my husband's real disappearance."

"Later, I hid my tracks. During this period, I met Qiu Ke, Xiao Si and Wei Wei one after another. They were all abandoned babies I picked up. Maybe you want to ask me, why did I adopt Ping Er when I couldn't support him? They." Speaking of this song, Shiran smiled wryly, looked at Su Wanqiu and continued, "Maybe you are still young, and you have never been a mother before so you can't understand this feeling. When you lead Ping'er through those dark and dirty alleys When you see a white baby smiling and reaching out to you, or crying for food, that kind of heart-soft muddled feeling.”

Su Wanqiu really wants to tell her that she understands this feeling, because she was once a mother too.But she couldn't speak, she could only smile and nodded to her.At this time, Qu Shiran suddenly turned her head to look at Wu Quantum and said with a smile: "Actually, I should be most grateful to Master Wu Quantum. Not only did he save me this time, but he also pointed me to this mountain temple. Otherwise, you How could we, the five of us, mother and child, have been able to spend these years safely in this desolate wilderness?"

These words made Su Wanqiu feel deeply surprised.Can't help but look at Wu Quantum.Seeing them looking at him, Wu Quan shook his head and said, "Why do you have a new understanding of me? Hurry up and consider asking me to be your teacher to learn that one thing."

Su Wanqiu nodded sincerely, but looked at Qu Shiran strangely and said, "Since you met old Mr. Wuquan before, why didn't you ask him to do a divination for you? Look at your Where is your husband?"

Hearing this remark, Qu Shiran was also taken aback, and then said: "At that time, I, Heping'er, and Xiao Si were in a very difficult situation. The master told me that there is a temple here, and there are some tricks outside the temple, which can protect us, mother and son, to spend the rest of the year in peace. I never thought about making any request, and I didn't know that the master knew divination. At that time, I was more concerned about how to live with Ping'er." Su Wanqiu nodded upon hearing this.

Qu Shiran continued: "Miss Su, this is my past. Since I settled down here, I have relied on doing some handicrafts, or going out to do some odd jobs to support my family. This year I finally saved money and bought a few chickens to raise. I got up. I thought I could finally live a better life. But I didn’t expect my body to collapse all of a sudden.”

"Since Miss Su gave Ranniang a chance to think about it, then Ranniang also hopes that Miss Su will consider whether to let Ranniang's family follow her."
