After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1133 A Twisted Package
Zhu Liushi hurriedly stopped: "Hey, this old servant won't go, please rest assured, Scholar's wife."

Aunt Zhu pried Yun's hand off Zhu Liushi's sleeve, helped her sit down in a chair, and let her cry.

After she had finished crying, Aunt Zhu Liu comforted her, saying, "Although the Eastern Desert is as fierce as a tiger, don't be afraid, Scholar's wife. Our Wei army, especially the Northwest Army, is not to be trifled with. We will block the Eastern Desert army and prevent the Eastern Desert people from rushing into the city and slaughtering us for food."

You might as well not comfort me.

Upon hearing this, Yun almost tore her hair out and screamed... She was filled with fear, guilt, and uncertainty about who to help. She also wanted to save her own child, but even if the child could live, if he was truly a descendant of spies, this identity would not allow the children to live a happy life.

Only if her husband is not a descendant of spies can her children and relatives continue to live their peaceful lives!

Yun seemed to have made up her mind. She washed her face with the tea on the table, tidied her hair, and said to Zhu Liushi and his wife, "Thank you for your explanation... But could you please keep today's events a secret for me, as if I had never been here?"

Zhu Liushi: "..."

Aunt Zhu Liu smiled and said, "This old servant understands, please rest assured."

He then comforted her, saying, "Scholar's wife, there is really no need to be afraid. Even if the Eastern Desert army comes and kills all the people of our Northeast Prefecture, even if the rat plague is real and kills everyone in our prefecture, it is the sins of the Eastern Desert people. When we get to the underworld, the Emperor of the Underworld will punish them and send them to the animal realm."

"We, the people of Wei, only need to fulfill our duties as people of Wei, and we can have a clear conscience from the highest heavens to the deepest hell."

Don't try to comfort her; Yun's face is as white as a corpse.

"Scholar's wife, this old servant will see you off." Aunt Zhu Liu stopped there, helping Yun Shi to leave through the side gate.

Before parting, he said, "Scholar's wife doesn't look too well. Please take good care of yourself. You still have children and parents to take care of... If there's anything you need, please come and tell me. I'll do my best to help if I can."

His ancestors have made it so clear, if you still don't understand, then your entire clan will be implicated and beheaded, and don't blame the government troops.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you." After saying this, Madam Yun picked up the things given to her by her family, left through a side path, circled around to the entrance of Qiming Street, and returned home via the main road.

When Mo Xiucai learned that she had returned, he immediately called her to his study. Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, he asked with displeasure, "What did you say to your family? Why are you crying?"

Yun's tears welled up again, and she choked out, "Mother gave me a bag of eggs and two pieces of meat, and also let Xi'er live in the Yun family to learn the Yun family's cooking skills. My sister-in-law had some complaints, and I also felt sorry for my family... I have been married for so many years, and I have not been able to help my family. I have always asked my family for things."

"Ridiculous! Haven't I helped your family? If it weren't for me, your scholar son-in-law, your family's embroidery shop would have been swallowed up by powerful families long ago, and your family would have been reduced to slavery. Your Yun family is truly a bunch of ingrates, heartless!" Scholar Mo cursed.

Startled, Madam Yun hurriedly apologized: "Husband, please calm down. I was wrong to speak... My family is very grateful to you, saying that you are only temporarily frustrated and will surely rise again in the future. They told me to take good care of you and help you get through this period."

Mo Xiucai remained silent, only staring coldly at her.

Madam Yun was stunned. She first looked at Mo Chunmang, but after her son turned his face away, she began to panic, feel afraid and guilty. Finally, she bent her knees and knelt down before Scholar Mo: "Husband, it was my fault. Please teach me and don't abandon me."

Mo Xiucai was finally satisfied, and his expression softened. He stood up and helped her up himself, saying, "Fei Niang, don't be angry with your husband. It's just that you come from a humble background and know too little about the rules of noble families. I can only be strict with you so that you can improve faster."

He then pulled Yun to sit down beside him and said, "I've been reflecting on myself lately and think it's better not to teach at the academy. I can focus on my studies and take the provincial examination next time. If I can pass and become a Juren, I can have a better life. Then I can try to get a government job and serve the country."

Lady Yun was delighted: "My husband's plan is excellent, excellent."

She asked nervously, "Husband, don't you dislike the government's wasteful preparations for war and plague? Are you still willing to serve the country?" Mo Xiucai glanced at her and saw her looking at him expectantly. He smiled and said, "Only when there are more people like me in the court of our Great Wei will the local government not dare to engage in wasteful and extravagant activities just because of a few rumors."

"Therefore I must study hard and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible so that I can serve the country."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will fulfill my duties as a wife, take good care of the household, serve my husband well, and help him pass the imperial examination as soon as possible." Madam Yun was overjoyed and began to work hard without complaint again.

She ate the staple food with vegetables herself, leaving the meat and eggs for Scholar Mo... She thought that since she cared so much for her husband, he would definitely, definitely, definitely not do anything to betray the country, and then their family could continue to live like this.

However, you're dreaming!

……

In late April of the lunar calendar, the weather has already gotten hot, and people with dry skin have started wearing light summer clothes.

The husband of Yun's second sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law knocked on the door of Yun's embroidery shop.

Bang bang bang!
"Uncle and aunt, second sister and brother-in-law, it's me, Lao Feng. Open the door." Feng's brother-in-law called out.

The Yun family embroidery shop has a front shop and a back residence layout, as well as a two-story attic, so the whole family can live there. Upon hearing the noise, the Yun family members, who had already gone to bed, hurriedly went to open the door.

"Oh, it's Brother-in-law. What brings you here at this hour?" Second Brother Yun opened the door and welcomed Brother-in-law Feng into the main reception room in the back courtyard.

Yun's parents also got up; after all, unless it was something extremely urgent, no one would come to their door at night.

Thinking of what their daughter had said about her son-in-law, the two elders' hearts pounded, and they asked, "What happened to your second brother-in-law?"

"Uncle and Aunt, my dear in-laws." Without delay, Brother-in-law Feng said, "My cousin from my aunt's family sent someone to tell me that there is a package for your family at the warehouse sixty miles outside the city, and asked me to pick it up for you when I go to work."

Originally, the granary was located 30 li outside the city. However, due to the rat plague, General Liang issued a military order to all prefectures to set up a temporary granary 60 li away to isolate the area from the plague.

Brother-in-law Feng continued, "But you sent someone to tell us a while ago that things are tense lately and we shouldn't bring things into the city for people. I was worried, so I rushed over tonight to tell your family... Who is this package for?"

"Get everyone up, not a single one can be missing!" At Yun's father's command, all the men, women, and children in the family were called up and gathered in the main room for guests.

After asking around, everyone shook their heads: "No relatives or friends said they wanted to send anything over, and we didn't ask them to bring the package."

Brother-in-law Feng was a minor foreman of porters who made a living through the government, so he had a token that allowed him to move around at night.

It was precisely because of this connection that he was able to come into contact with warehouses and the delivery and handling of goods.

As Yun's father thought about what his daughter had said when she came home, and then looked at his brother-in-law Feng, and thought about the business he and his cousin-in-law were doing, he carefully reviewed the scheme of having a distant relative help carry the package. Cold sweat broke out in his brows, and his hands and feet felt icy cold.

Mo's son-in-law—his family—his second daughter-in-law's eldest brother-in-law—Feng's family—Feng's cousin's family.

This involves four or five layers of connections; it's quite convoluted.
