Zhao Xiyan couldn't win over her friend, so she had to get on the carriage together and soon arrived outside Wang's house.
Ye Qinyao took a look.
General Zheng was heartbroken that his eldest son Zheng Xuanfeng lost his right leg, and he turned his anger on Wang Tong. It has been more than two months, and the door of the Wang family is still locked. More than 20 soldiers with sharp weapons are guarding the inside and outside. Ordinary people have no idea.
Don't dare to get close.
"I wonder if they are willing to open the door and let us in." Ye Qinyao whispered, looking at Zhao Xiyan with a pair of big, watery eyes full of expectation.
What a silly girl with a soft heart.
Now she can no longer find this innocence and kindness.
Zhao Xiyan sighed softly in her heart and got off the carriage with Ye Qinyao.
Half of the soldiers guarding the Wang family were soldiers of the Zheng family. The tall, strong and fierce-looking leader of the soldiers immediately became a docile sheep when he saw Zhao Xiyan: "I have seen Miss Zhao Liu before."
The second son of the family has become a disciple of Master Zhao. Miss Zhao Liu is the apple of Master Zhao's eye. They, the soldiers of the Zheng family, must treat her with all due respect.
Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly: "We would like to meet Miss Wang. Is it convenient?"
The leader smiled hurriedly and said: "It is inconvenient for others, but Miss Zhao Liu is very convenient." He turned around and waved, and a soldier stepped forward and opened the heavy copper lock and opened the main door.
The Yang family died, Wang Tong surrendered to the bandits, and the two sons of the Wang family were taken away. Today, only two young children and Wang Wei are left in the Wang family.
Zhao Xiyan politely thanked her and walked in with Ye Qinyao.
The Wang family was imprisoned for more than two months. All the original servants and guards were taken away. There were also some frightened maids and servants in the house. The ground was covered with grass and leaves, and no one was cleaning it. At first glance, it looked dilapidated and withered.
.
A steward mother in her thirties rushed out from nowhere, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and cried heartbreakingly: "I don't know anything about this slave! You two girls will do well and take this slave out. From now on.
The slave serves as a cow or a horse to repay the girl."
Before he finished speaking, two more maids rushed over, kneeling on the ground with tears in their eyes.
If the master commits a serious crime, they are all slaves of the Wang family. What awaits them is either to be beheaded together or to be resold as official maids.
The two young maids kowtowed heavily, and before they could stop them, one of them had already kowtowed blood.
Ye Qinyao was startled and looked at Zhao Xiyan subconsciously.
"I can't save you." Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "Where is Wang Wei? I want to see her."
The mother in charge wiped her face carelessly with her sleeve and whispered: "Our girl shuts herself in the room all day long and almost goes blind from crying."
When a teenage girl encounters a sudden change in her family, what else can she do except cry in despair?
Ye Qinyao immediately took Zhao Xiyan's hand: "Let's go to her yard and have a look."
You’re here, let’s go and have a look!
Zhao Xiyan nodded slightly and went to Wang Wei's yard with Ye Qinyao.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard gate, I heard a burst of heart-rending crying. The voice was dull and hoarse, as if it was a wail squeezed out of the throat.
The mother in charge came forward and knocked on the door: "Girl, please stop crying, Miss Zhao and Miss Ye are here..."
The crying in the room paused.
Then the door opened suddenly.
A girl with disheveled hair and a smelly dress appeared at the door. Her eyes were swollen like peaches and squeezed into slits with angry and unwilling fire: "Zhao Xiyan, Ye Qinyao, what are you two doing?
?Are you here to see my miserable fate? Or do you want to give me alms and sympathize with me?"
"The Wang family is ruined and everyone is in this state. Do you feel sorry for me? Even if I, Wang Wei, die, I don't need your sympathy."
Ye Qinyao, who meant well, was scolded before she said anything. However, it was not convenient to care about it now.
Ye Qinyao patiently said softly: "We heard that your two brothers were taken away, so we came here to see you."
"Get out! Who wants you to come and see me? Get out!"
Wang Wei suddenly rushed over and stretched out her hand to push Ye Qinyao.
Zhao Xiyan, with her sharp eyesight and quick hands, pulled Ye Qinyao away first. Wang Wei was unable to catch up quickly and stumbled to the ground.
Unfortunately, he landed on his buttocks again and was hit by a branch on the ground.
Wang Wei felt hurt and embarrassed, so she pushed away the maid who was trying to help her, and just sat on the ground, howling and crying.
Zhao Xiyan had no intention of coming to comfort her. She stood six feet away and said, "Wang Wei, there is no use crying at this time."
Wang Wei covered her face with her hands, tears welling up from between her fingers: "Do you think I don't know? But what else can I do? The soldier guarding the gate said that my eldest and second brothers were taken away. Next,
It's my turn."
Shrouded in the shadow of despair and death at any time, Wang Wei is not crazy yet, so she is doing well.
In fact, even though it is like this, it is still better than the previous life.
Zhao Xiyan's heart was as solid as a rock, but she remained calm: "Your father committed a serious crime of collaborating with bandits. His crime is unforgivable. Your two brothers have no way to live. If you still want to live, there is another way."
Wang Wei cried for a while and slowly put down her hands.
It is true that she hates Zhao Xiyan. However, she can listen to what Zhao Xiyan said about how to survive.
Zhao Xiyan looked at the embarrassed Wang Wei and continued slowly: "Your father defected to Qinglong Village and led the bandits to guard the gate of the village. The imperial officers and soldiers were unable to attack for a long time and suffered heavy damage. Captain Murong, who led the troops, was extremely angry.
Next, I ordered someone to take away your two brothers. I think I want to use them to force your father to surrender."
"Your father is determined to join the bandits. Even if your eldest and second brothers die in front of him, he may not be willing to betray him."
"If I were you, I would take my two nephews to Qinglong Mountain."
"No matter how cruel your father is, he will still waver when it comes to his young grandson. As long as you can persuade your father to surrender and make great achievements, you can save your own life. You can also save the blood of the Wang family."
"Wang Wei, this is the end of the matter. There is no worse outcome. Think carefully whether you want to live or whether you want to give it a last try. No one can save you. The only one who can save you is yourself."
"If you are determined, I can send a message to the Crown Prince and General Zheng on your behalf. They will have you escorted to Qinglong Village."
"I'll be right here, waiting for you to burn some incense."
Ye Qinyao on the side was dumbfounded and looked at her friend blankly.
Along the way, Zhao Xiyan never mentioned this incident!
Wang Wei's whole body was shaking and her expression was changing.
Zhao Xiyan did not urge her, and waited patiently for a stick of incense before she opened her mouth: "If you don't want to, it's okay, just think of me as being troublesome." She turned to Ye Qinyao and said, "Let's leave now!"
Ye Qinyao has long since become a woodcarving and can only nod her head.
The two left hand in hand.
After taking a few steps, Wang Wei's hoarse voice sounded from behind: "I'm going! Zhao Xiyan, I'm going today!"
