Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Lin Shuangshuang stuffed a banknote into his pocket without making a sound, and asked politely, "What crime have they committed?"

"In reply to Lord Lin, they did not commit any crime. It was their son who committed the crime."

"That is, you... you..."

Eunuch Li knew that the two had divorced, but divorce was an exception in that era, so he was at a loss for words and couldn't find a suitable name.

Lin Shuangshuang helped him and said, "Are you talking about my ex-husband, Gu Hanzhou, getting into trouble?"

"Yes, yes, it's your ex-husband."

"He collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and now he is comfortably serving as the imperial teacher in the Jin Kingdom."

"The emperor was furious and ordered the execution of all nine clans."

"I came here to escort the prisoner to the capital to be beheaded in public."

Lin Shuangshuang frowned. Was it that the emperor's mind was unpredictable, or was it that the Lin family was playing tricks?

The emperor knew that Gu Hanzhou was going to the Jin Kingdom on a mission, so why wouldn't he protect the Gu family?

Could it be that the emperor has begun to doubt Gu Hanzhou?

"Eunuch Li, can I go back to Beijing with you?"

"I was going back to Beijing to report on the situation during my last voyage. Now that I am following the escort team into Beijing, I will be safer on the road."

Eunuch Li smiled and bowed, his attitude very humble: "It is an honor for me to return to the capital with Lord Lin."

"Okay, then I'll go home and pack up, and take care of the business at hand. How about we set off early tomorrow morning?"

"this?"

Eunuch Li was in a dilemma. He was afraid that it would delay his return to Beijing, and he was also afraid that the prisoner would escape and something unexpected would happen.

Lin Shuangshuang was used to observing people's expressions and said, "Eunuch Li, why not temporarily detain these people in the yamen prison."

"You and the other officials will temporarily stay at Wangjiang Tower tonight, and all meals and lodging are included."

"What do you think?"

"I'll go talk to the government office and I won't make things difficult for Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li smiled on his fair, beardless face: "Will this be too expensive?"

"I heard that the cost of eating at Wangjiang Tower is not low?"

Lin Shuangshuang responded calmly: "I have my own business, so I still have enough money to treat Eunuch Li to a meal."

"It's settled then. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you Eunuch Li."

"Please wait for a moment, sir. I will go back and write a letter to Manager Bai and Master Li."

Lin Shuangshuang turned around and told the guard, "Yang Cheng, escort Eunuch Li to Wangjiang Tower to rest, and give the letter to Shopkeeper Bai and Lord Li."

"Yes."

Lin Shuangshuang wrote a letter and handed it to Yang Cheng, and Eunuch Li left with his men in a grand manner.

"Village chief, please come to my house to discuss in detail."

"I may have to go back to Beijing to see if there is any room for easing the situation in the Gu family."

"After all, Gu Hanzhou has severed ties with his parents and has been removed from the family tree. Logically speaking, Gu Hanzhou's accident shouldn't involve his family."

"Someone must be interfering."

"I'll leave the affairs of the village to you. As for my children, please help take care of them."

"The transformation of the village will proceed according to the original plan. The academy, newspaper office and library cannot be stopped under any circumstances."

Lin Shuangshuang explained many things in detail, then sent the village chief away and went to the home of the head of the Gu family.

She hoped to use the Gu family tree to prove that Gu Hanzhou had been removed from the list and was no longer a member of the Gu family.

This time, the emperor only let Eunuch Li take away Gu Hanzhou's immediate relatives, and did not really arrest the nine clans, otherwise all the people on the Gu family tree would be in trouble.

Therefore, she was not sure whether the head of the Gu family would lend her the family tree.

After all, if things go wrong, everyone in the family tree will suffer.

This is a matter of life and death. If it weren't for a deep friendship, who would use their own name as a joke?

What she didn't expect was that Patriarch Gu actually gave her the family tree very readily, and it was agreed by the majority of the clan members.

She was moved and admired by the Gu family's family love.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, you must rescue them."

"The mistakes made by the fourth child cannot be blamed on others. Your parents-in-law are both honest and good citizens."

Patriarch Gu was old and in tears.

"Don't worry, Patriarch. I will try my best."

After Lin Shuangshuang returned home, she started packing her bags, and the youngest sister's eyes were red.

"Sister, are you going to the capital?"

"Ah."

"When will you be back?"

"uncertain."

"Take good care of your younger brothers and sisters at home and don't let them be bullied."

"If you encounter any difficulties, go to Shopkeeper Bai. If all else fails, go to Lord Li. They will both take good care of you."

The youngest sister said worriedly: "Sister, don't worry about us, we will be fine in the village."

"I'm worried that something might happen to you."

"You really won't be implicated?"

"Collaboration with the enemy and treason is a serious crime..."

"Okay, don't worry about me. I will take care of myself and won't let anything happen to me. I will do what I can."

"You and the two children are waiting for me at home. I won't let anything happen to me."

"If you have no money, go ask Shopkeeper Bai for it..."

"Take good care of Xiaochen, urge him to study, tell him that this matter has nothing to do with me, and don't let him have any messy ideas."

"Ah."

Lin Shuangshuang packed up her things and left Hegou Village.

When he arrived at Wangjiang Tower, he briefed Bai Qiu Shui on business matters and asked her to help look after the newspaper office. He did not fall asleep until very late.

The next morning, Eunuch Li was dumbfounded when he saw the dozen or so large trucks behind Lin Shuangshuang.

Are you going to Beijing to report the situation or to do business?

"Master Lin, are these what you are going to bring back to Beijing?"

"Is there any cargo in here?"

Lin Shuangshuang explained with a smile: "Everything."

"There are my newly grown crops, as well as some goods and daily necessities."

“There are a few more things, but it will definitely not delay the trip.”

"If I really delay the trip, Eunuch Li can leave me behind and return to Beijing first. In short, I won't cause any trouble for you."

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

"Then let's set off."

"Row."

The escort team had been walking for about half a day, and the Gu family members were obviously exhausted.

Gu Shunxin was already ill and could not withstand such a long journey.

The women and children were already exhausted after walking for half a day.

Originally, half a day's journey was nothing for Gu Jinguo, but he became the most tired person as he carried Gu Jinzhong on his back.

Wang looked at her husband with heartache and wanted to speak several times, but she held back.

I could only wipe his sweat and give him water when he was resting with red eyes.

"Second brother, if you abandon me, I will die sooner or later anyway, so dying early will save me from being a burden to you."

Gu Jinzhong was extremely upset and hit his unconscious legs in hatred.

He really wants to die now. The sooner he dies, the sooner he will be free, and he won't have to be a burden to his younger brother.

"Second brother, you take a rest. I will take over the responsibility later." Liu handed Gu Jinzhong some water with red eyes.

"Sister-in-law, there's no way you can carry my brother. Besides, that eunuch Li won't agree."
