When Yang Wanyu saw this, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. However, she also knew that if she went to look for Prince Hui now, she would always have to lower her head before him after they got married. This would be detrimental to her future.
But if she didn’t save her father, what would happen to her marriage? Her dowry and her wedding would all be ruined.
“You’re the eldest in the family. Are you just going to watch your parents get jailed and not care?”
“So now you think me of your elder sister? I’ve never heard you call me sister once.”

“It’s too late. Begging anyone won’t help us.
“You’d better return to bed. We’ll go to prison tomorrow and ask Father for his opinion.” After Yang Wanning finished speaking, she left.
When she returned to her courtyard, Chunxi helped her wash up, hesitantly asking, “Young Miss, are you really planning to meddle in your father’s matters? I heard the people who took Master away were the palace guards.” “No matter what, I have to do something to show action.
“By the way, are the servants in the courtyard obedient now?”
“Yes. Ever since Mrs. Cui was arrested, everyone has been doing their best.”
“We can’t relax at times like this. Otherwise, if something happens, it’ll be bad.”
“I understand.” Chunxi nodded solemnly.
The next day, Gu Chengrui brought more than ten sticks of roasted donkey meat and left for the manor in a carriage with Lin Yitian.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen to prepare the base and dipping sauce for her hotpot. When she came out, she saw Zhou Dong yawning in the distance. She called him and asked, “Brother Zhou Dong, what’s wrong? Those who don’t know better would think you were out late stealing last night.”
“I wish 1 had the skills of a thief. At least I can earn money quickly.
“After over half a month of learning, I finally understand that doing business is complicated and difficult.”
Zhou Ying smiled and asked, “So, what are you thinking? Do you want to quit?” “No. What other options do I have? Farming is even more tiring.” Zhou Dong paused and continued, “To be honest, although 1 don’t have freedom and sometimes I get beaten up, my life is pretty comfortable. At least 1 don’t have to worry about food and clothing.”
Zhou Ying secretly rolled her eyes after hearing that. That was because he had his parents protecting him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
So, she still tried to persuade him. “Everything has a process. You’ve been living too comfortably, so you can’t stand the sudden change.
“After some time, I’m sure it will get easier once you’re familiar with your work.
“Just like when you started farming, wasn’t that as difficult as well?”
“That’s right. Alright, I’ll have to leave. Otherwise, I’ll be late.” Zhou Dong nodded in agreement, then turned around and ran out.
Zhou Ying walked around the residence. After seeing that everything was well cleaned, she returned to her courtyard.
She thought of what Gu Chengrui had told her—to monitor the capital closely. So, she poured a cup of tea, took a book as a cover, and spread her divine sense to the Yang residence.
Coincidentally, she saw Yang Wanning and Yang Wanyu carrying bags as they left their residence.
A trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that these two people were like fire and water. Zhou Ying couldn’t believe there would be a day when they would walk together in such harmony.
After following them for a while, she realized they were sending Yang Shicheng some cotton clothes and quilts.
Zhou Ying followed them as well. However, when they arrived at the Ministry of Justice’s prison, the two women were denied entry, regardless of whether they were delivering silver or mentioning Prince Hui or Prince Rui.
They could only leave the things they had brought behind and walk back with a heavy heart.
Zhou Ying entered the prison and found King An interrogating people from the Cui family.
In order to get some confessions as soon as possible, King An even busted out the Tiger Stool.
But in the end, they couldn’t find any evidence that could convict Yang Shicheng..
