Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Shengsheng opened her purse and found a silver note and some loose silver inside.

All in all, it came to more than two hundred taels.

The little dumpling sighed, "This is half of Liang Youqi's entire fortune!"

Yun Shengsheng felt a pang of guilt. [I hope I can see her again later and return the money!]

Life was already difficult for women in ancient times, let alone a woman who had been divorced and was carrying a child...

The little fritter nodded: "That makes sense. I'll keep an eye out, and if I encounter anything, I'll alert the host!"

Yun Shengsheng nodded: 【Thank you!】

She casually stuffed the purse into her spatial storage and jumped onto the carriage. They continued on their journey.

As evening approached, the convoy stopped for a rest in a small county town.

The county town is not large, but it is conveniently located at the junction of the official road, where merchants traveling from the north and south would stay overnight, so there are quite a few inns.

Yan Shijin asked Mo Ning to choose the cleanest inn in town for them to stay overnight.

The shopkeeper was a perceptive man; he could tell from their entourage that they were important people, so he personally ran around taking care of everything.

As soon as Yun Shengsheng stepped into the inn, Xiao Mao Tuanzi began to remind her.

"Host, Liang Youqi is inside!"

Yun Shengsheng blinked and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure.

Liang Youqi held her child and sat at a table in the corner with Uncle Cao.

A middle-aged man was sitting opposite Liang Youqi.

The man was in his forties, wearing a blue cloth robe. He had a kind and honest face, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness that came from having seen the world.

There were several small dishes in front of them, but they barely touched them.

Liang Youqi was speaking to the man with her body turned to the side, her voice low and her expression anxious and impatient.

Yun Shengsheng's hearing was naturally better than that of the average person.

In addition, her senses became more acute after practicing martial arts. Even though there were several tables between them, Liang Youqi's lowered voice still drifted into Yun Shengsheng's ears intermittently.

"Uncle Zhang, is there really no other way?"

"I heard that if I can get my two younger brothers to sever their father-son relationship with him, they will be released."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just want my two younger brothers to be safe and sound."

Yun Shengsheng paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

[It turns out Liang Youqi wanted to save her two younger brothers!]

She believed that as long as they severed their father-son relationship with Liang Boyan, they could be released from prison!

Yun Shengsheng sighed: [Liang Boyan's two sons with his first wife, Song, were implicated and imprisoned after Liang Boyan's downfall.]

[However, Su Jinse's twins, a boy and a girl, remained unharmed thanks to the protection of Prince Yong.]

Both are Liang Boyan's children, yet they are worlds apart.

The middle-aged man, "Uncle Zhang," sighed, his voice filled with helplessness.

"Miss, this might have worked if the case had just been decided."

"Back then, things were tense but not completely settled. You could spend some money to smooth things over, clear your name of being father and son, and you'd be released. But now..."

Uncle Zhang shook his head, picked up his teacup and took a sip, as if using the tea to suppress the frustration in his heart.

"Now that the higher authorities have designated him as a serious criminal, the case is irrefutable, and no local official dares to easily change it."

"How could his descendants possibly escape unscathed?"

"Besides, the investigation is very strict now. Everyone says your father embezzled several hundred taels of silver, and the stolen money hasn't been found yet!"

"At this critical juncture, whoever gets involved is doomed."

"No one will be willing to help!"

Liang Youqi clenched the handkerchief tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"He actually embezzled so much! He's inhuman! Isn't he trying to kill my two younger brothers?!"

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "It's clearly that woman and child's fault! My two younger brothers and I are completely innocent, yet we have to be dragged down by them!"

"But the woman and her two children were completely unharmed..."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her cheeks flushed red, and finally, she couldn't hold back her tears.

She wasn't upset for herself, but for her two younger brothers.

The two younger brothers have never benefited from Liang Boyan's influence since they were young.

When Liang Boyan saw them off at a distance, one was seven years old and the other was only four.

Aside from the tuition fees for the private school, which were paid by Liang Boyan, his mother secretly provided for all his other needs, including food and clothing.

Later, when Liang Boyan's embezzlement was exposed, they didn't get to enjoy wealth and status; instead, they were the first to be imprisoned.

Uncle Zhang nodded, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He had been the steward of the Liang family for half his life and had watched these children grow up since they were little. His resentment was no less than Liang Youqi's.

"Isn't that why they say the way of heaven is unfair? Good people don't get good rewards, while bad people live a comfortable life."

"That woman Su Jinse has powerful backers; she has a powerful backer. We... have nothing. We can only hope that God will open his eyes one day."

He put down his teacup, looked at Liang Youqi's pale face, and couldn't help but sigh again.

This young lady hasn't had a single day off since her father's accident.

First she was divorced by her husband's family, and then she ran around tirelessly trying to find a way to rescue her two younger brothers.

She was not even twenty years old, but she already had a few gray hairs at her temples.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help but advise, "Miss, you've been traveling for quite some time now; even the strongest person can't endure that."

"You should take the young lady to rest. If you fall ill, who will run errands for the two young masters?"

Uncle Zhang stood up and pushed the stool under the table. "I'll think of something else for you."

"I'll be going to Hucheng Prefecture in the next few days. I still have a few old connections there. I'll visit them one by one, and maybe I can get a word in edgewise."

Liang Youqi nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhang!"

Seeing that the child was already asleep, she quietly carried him upstairs.

Her figure appeared exceptionally frail in the dim light of the oil lamp, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Uncle Zhang watched her figure disappear around the corner of the stairs and shook his head.

After exchanging a few more words with Uncle Cao, he quickly left the inn.

Yun Shengsheng sat not far away and listened to the whole thing, feeling a mix of emotions.

She couldn't help but look at Yan Shijin.

[As the Crown Prince, Yan Shijin can surely help her!]

But in the end, Yun Shengsheng sighed inwardly and remained silent.

As the Crown Prince, Yan Shijin should consider more and more comprehensively. I shouldn't have a saintly heart and interfere with Yan Shijin's decisions and the laws of the court.

[And what if what I'm seeing is just the surface? Or what if it's just a show staged specifically for me?]

Yun Shengsheng nodded inwardly: [Yes, let's wait and see...]

Yan Shijin also overheard the conversation.

They also heard Yun Shengsheng's inner thoughts.

He chuckled inwardly, then pushed the plate of osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice lotus root that Yun Shengsheng loved towards her: "Let's eat, the food's getting cold."
