Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 410

"Of course I know you can't do it. I'm not asking you to help me get her out, but I hope you can cooperate with me. Also, before she gets out, please take good care of her and don't let her suffer too much."

It is impossible not to suffer once you enter prison, but if someone takes care of you, the suffering will be much less.

Old Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just to help take care of things, then there would naturally be no problem.

He nodded, probably thinking that his refusal was a bit too harsh, and said as if to make amends: "This matter is really difficult to handle. After the Xie family's people were sent here, someone from above came to pass on a message saying that the Xie family's people were serious crimes and we must not let our guard down. So, if you want to take them away, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Qin Cui smiled and said calmly, "Thank you for the reminder!"

Xiao Chenyu also added: "We also know that it is difficult, but everything depends on human efforts. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

After talking for a while, Xiao Chenyu and Qin Cui got up and left, and Old Zhao and Lu Xiangyin followed them out.

Xiao Chenyu and Qin Cui went straight out and got on a carriage. Only then did Old Zhao see that there were several people following the carriage.

Lu Xiangyin stood and waited for the carriage to go away before turning around and walking towards Old Zhao at the door. Old Zhao thought he was there to call him to leave, but who knew that Lu Xiangyin was actually there to give money for the banquet.

After he gave the silver, Old Zhao grabbed Lu Xiangyin's arm and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lu, tell me the truth, who is this person today?"

Lu Xiangyin laughed and said, "I know brother didn't eat well today. How about we go home and have a drink and talk about it?"

Of course Old Zhao was willing. At this time, the shop assistant came over with two food boxes. Lu Xiangyin took one box and asked Old Zhao to take the other box.

Old Zhao took it in a daze. Before he could ask what it meant, he heard the waiter ask, "Master Lu, are you sending someone to bring this food box back, or are we going to get it in person?"

Lu Xiangyin said, "We'll just bring it over. We won't bother you."

After saying that, he took the confused old Zhao away.

As they walked along, Old Zhao had too many questions.

"Brother Lu, what's in this food box?"

"It's just some food. We will give one portion to each of our two families, and give it to our wives and children to taste at night."

Old Zhao was very happy, and his face showed some of it. But thinking that the silver was given by Lu Xiangyin, he felt a little embarrassed: "Why do I feel like it was you who gave it to me?"

Lu Xiangyin waved his empty hand and said, "No, I can pay for whatever I use."

By this time, they had arrived at Old Zhao's house. Lu Xiangyin went home first and asked Old Zhao to put his things down and come over.

When Old Zhao came over, the wine and food had already been served, and only Lu Xiangyin and Old Zhao were sitting opposite each other in the room.

Lu Xiangyin did not have an easy life in the past few years. The business of his family's shop was not very good and they could barely make ends meet. He also had a father who was a gambler, and coupled with what happened later, his life was also very unhappy.

Later, when Lu Xiangyin sold his only shop, the neighbors privately mocked that their family was going to fall into complete ruin. But later they found that Lu Xiangyin had changed from his previous decadence and became more and more high-spirited. His wives and concubines also wore gold and silver jewelry, and even the cotton clothes that the noble ladies were said to be fighting for, were also worn by Lu Xiangyin's wife. Their life was so wonderful.

"Tell me in detail who this person is today and what is his relationship with the unlucky old lady of the Xie family?" Lu Xiangyin poured two glasses of wine, and the two of them clinked their glasses. After drinking them all, he said, "Xiao Chenyu is now an official in the court, the kind who got in through a serious imperial examination. His wife is actually my boss. You know, I am living a stable life now, all because of my boss."

Old Zhao asked hurriedly, "Which family is this Xiao Chenyu from? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"Hey, he comes from a poor family, not from a rich family, so he looks even more amazing!"

Lu Xiangyin admired Xiao Chenyu very much, and was also very envious of him.

Then, he said puzzledly: "Besides, they should have no relationship with the new wife of the Xie family. I also wonder why they suddenly went to such great lengths to save a completely unrelated person?"

"If that's the case, their family has no background, so why would they want to get involved in this mess? Let me tell you, this is really not an easy matter." Then, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and sighed heavily.

"Although I've seen a lot of this in prison, every time there's a house raid, I still feel a little sorry for it, especially for the women and children. Alas, they're all implicated by the men outside!"

Lu Xiangyin stopped talking. Like Old Zhao, he also had a daughter. If his daughter fell into such a situation, he would be so scared that he would want to die.

The two men talked, drank, and cursed the heavens and the powerful people in the world, but their lives went on as usual.

No one understood why Qin Cui wanted to save Old Madam Xie, even the Ninth Prince and Yao Xiang strongly disapproved.

Only Xiao Chenyu understood Qin Su's thoughts. In fact, she was trying to redeem herself in her previous life, and also to save the little Qin Su hidden in her heart now.

Therefore, Xiao Chenyu stood firmly by Qin Sui's side, supporting her, understanding her, and tolerating her.

The couple came to see the Ninth Prince, hoping that he could help get Mr. Xie's newly married wife out.

Of course, the Ninth Prince did not agree, and Yao Xiang on the side was unwilling to help.

Yao Xiang also said: "You have completely forgotten what I said to you a few days ago. I asked you to keep a low profile and not become a target of the Du family, but you are still offering yourself up to them?"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard someone report that Yaoxiang's child was crying and asking Yaoxiang to go and take a look?
Seeing Qin Cui lowering her head and remaining silent, Yao Xiang got up and left.

There were only Qin Rui and his wife, the Ninth Prince and his eunuch attendant in the room.

"Your Highness, I wonder if this can be of any use to you?" Xiao Chenyu took out something wrapped in a piece of cloth from his body and handed it over.

The prince took it and placed it on the table, waiting for the eunuch beside him to come over and open the cloth. At the same time, the prince advised Qin Su and his wife: "Qin Su, you are too soft-hearted. This won't work. Xiao Chenyu is the same. How can you listen to her in everything?"

In this matter, the cloth was opened, revealing two account books. The prince just flipped through them casually, his eyes became serious and sharp, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Qin Sui and Xiao Chenyu looked at each other, blinked knowingly, and raised their lips unconsciously.

These two account books, one was the one Xiao Chenyu brought out when he put out a fire in his hometown, and the other was the one he brought back when he went to get the money from the Xie family.

When the two books are put together, Qin Sui and Xiao Chenyu may not understand the ins and outs, but the old prince must know.

"What is this?" The prince asked, and then asked: "Where did it come from?"
