The next morning, Yu Shiyao came back, but brought a piece of good news to the Mu family. Master Yu tried his best to protect him from being tortured in prison, and he had secretly kept the amount of private salt to a minimum. It's just that the final conviction power is still in the hands of Shen Zhifu.

In other words, Master Mu's life and death are in Master Shen's hands.

"Mother, what my father means is for us to ask Shen Zhifu for a favor. After all... Lan Xizong also went to their residence. Maybe they will give him a lighter punishment for the sake of the friendship between the two families, and then punish him. Just some money." Yu Shiyao pursed her lips, seeming to hesitate to speak.

"Shiyao, did your father explain something else?" Mrs. Mu narrowed her eyes and stared at Yu Shiyao steadfastly. She is a woman who can't lie. She must have something to say in such a dilemma, but she feels uncomfortable. Yes, that's why I'm so shy.

Yu Shiyao pursed her lips in embarrassment, but her eyes revealed a little helplessness.

"Is it related to the people in the house?" Mrs. Mu is a shrewd person, seeing her eyes dodging, she guessed, "Yun girl?"

Yu Shiyao immediately lowered her head as if being told what was on her mind, and she didn't want to answer without looking away, but this appearance made Mrs. Mu understand that she was right.

"What exactly did your father say? You can just say it straight." Mrs. Mu also frowned, thinking in her heart that this matter is really related to Liu Yun. Yesterday, Liu Yun and Mrs. Lin together She had already heard about the one who went to Shen's Mansion. At first, she thought that Lan Xi would be able to intercede nearby if she lived in Shen's Mansion, but later she heard that she was in a difficult situation to protect herself.

"My father said that the severity of the criminal responsibility is in the hands of the magistrate. If the Mu family and the Shen family are related by marriage, then the Shen magistrate will naturally know how to avoid the serious and take the light." Yu Shiyao paused and said, "Shen Zhifu is a sensible person. The master usually has some friendship, but he always wants to avoid suspicion, unless there is some inevitable reason, otherwise he will definitely not use his official career to escort a friend."

This is true, people do not kill for themselves, even if they have been friends for many years, not to mention that officials and businessmen are always scrupulous about avoiding suspicion, and the relationship between the magistrate and the richest man has always been easy to criticize.

"Mr. Shen is the emperor's most respected number one scholar, and he is also the newly promoted Prime Minister of Fengtian Mansion. In many things, he is the prefect of Shen who can speak better. If...you can let him help, you will be able to clean up the charges against the master." Yu Shiyao She knew some things about the mansion, so she naturally knew that the young miss had no intentions for Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen's marriage proposals were rejected many times.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin jumped out immediately, and she pointed to the Jinpa and whimpered: "Old lady, the master is weak, and he has been in the yamen for a few days. It is not an option to go on like this, or else we can Let the eldest miss go beg Mr. Shen."

Madam Mu's eyes flashed brightly, it would be great if she could save people just by begging.

What kind of person Shen Yi is, other people can't understand, how can she, an old woman who has lived most of her life, not be able to see it?Someone who can be highly regarded by the Holy Spirit at a young age, and who is also the Prime Minister of Fengtian Mansion, is not a simple person.

To put it nicely, it was a begging, but in reality, it was sending someone to Shen Yi's bed, and the two of them became physically close.

However, apart from this method, it seems that there is really no other way.

"Old lady, the master has spoiled the eldest lady since she was a child. She can do whatever she wants. Now that something happened in the house, can she stay out of it?" Lin couldn't help crying, "If the concubine If I can help, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, I will die as a concubine."

"However, that girl Liuyun is stubborn, how could she obediently go to find Shen Yi? What's more, she went to Shen Yi's place, can she still come back?" Mrs. Mu's worry was not unreasonable, they had already gone to Shen Yi yesterday. Once, Shen Yi also talked with Liu Yun alone, since the two of them failed to reach an agreement, naturally she rejected Shen Yi.

Yu Shiyao bit her lips, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "The old lady has always liked the eldest lady, but now, I ask the old lady to consider the overall situation. The eldest lady went to Mr. Shen's place, at most it was a matter of marriage, but If the Eldest Miss is stubborn and refuses to go, then the master...if Mr. Shen becomes angry from embarrassment and secretly plays tricks, then the master will be in danger."

Mrs. Mu's face was stunned. Yu Shiyao's words carried more weight than Lin's words. What they were afraid of was not that they would not be able to get rid of their crimes, but that they were afraid of people doing bad things. If Shen Yi really became angry and plotted secretly, it would be impossible to guard against.

"Old lady, after all, the eldest lady is still young and has a high temperament, so she will embarrass Mr. Shen several times. From my own point of view, Mr. Shen is an excellent husband-in-law candidate. The second lady is not lucky, but the eldest lady is a lucky one." What's more, Mr. Shen has been in love with the young lady for a long time, so he will definitely not treat the young lady badly." Lin glanced at Yu Shiyao, and naturally couldn't let her gain the upper hand, and immediately echoed to persuade the old lady.

When the master was rescued, at least she had persuaded the old lady, so she couldn't just let the Yu family take the credit for it.

The old madam's heart has been shaken. She has only such a son, so she loves him since he was a child, but she is also a high-minded person after all. She can't do it by sacrificing her granddaughter to save her son.

The palm of the hand is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh, the old lady is really hesitant.

"Old madam, there is news from our lurking in the yamen. The master caught a cold in the yamen, and prefect Shen secretly invited a doctor to check his pulse." Uncle Zhong's voice came from outside the study.

"Madam, I beg you to save the master. The master was infected with a cold a while ago and has not recovered. I am afraid that the old disease will recur now. Madam, I beg you..." Lin suddenly knelt down on the old lady's side In front of her, her tearful eyes begged bitterly.

Yu Shiyao also bit her lip, and stood aside with red eyes: "Old Madam, it's important to save the master. Let's think about other things after the master is fine."

The old lady clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and nodded heavily: "You guys go and handle this matter."

With the consent of the old lady, the two nodded and left the study.

"Sister Lin, it's up to you to talk about the eldest lady. I will report to my father first, and then arrange to send the eldest lady to Shen's residence." Yu Shiyao has a thin skin and doesn't know how to communicate. Yun said, and asked Mrs. Lin to go by herself.

Lin shi was eager to go to Liyuan by herself, it was a rare opportunity to show her prestige in front of Liu Yun, how could she give in to others, she immediately agreed and turned around to go to Liyuan.

She walked too fast, so naturally she didn't notice the shrewdness in Yu Shiyao's eyes and the mocking sneer.

[Author's digression]: Woohoo, Liuyun is about to be sent to Shen Yi's bed, help!
