Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

After everyone fell asleep at night, Shen Fugui quietly found Yao Shu.

Sure enough, she stayed up all night, waiting for dawn with her eyes open.

Seeing his son coming to him, he frowned slightly.

"What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Shen Fugui blinked and quietly came to her side, making sure that no one was awake around him before asking the question.

"Mom, do you know something?"

Hearing this, Yao Shu was shocked, but her face still maintained the original look.

"What do you want to ask?"

Shen Fugui smiled "hehe" and spoke mysteriously.

"Does Third Brother have other plans?"

After hearing this, Yao Shu glared at him, confirmed that no one was awake around him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, so stop asking. Besides, do you know that after what you just said, our family is likely to be beheaded."

Shen Fugui didn't get the news he wanted and was a little unhappy.

"Mom, just tell me, I know you must know something."

Yao Shu didn't want to be pestered by her son anymore, so she closed her eyes.

"Okay, it's already so late. If you don't sleep, others will still sleep. Go back to your place quickly. Don't tell others what happened tonight."

Shen Fugui had no choice but to leave in anger.

Yao Shu squinted her eyes and watched him lie back without saying anything, then she felt relieved.

However, she was also worried in her heart, when will this matter end?

……

After one night, the officials did not want to waste any more time on the road and accelerated their journey.

Less than half a month later, some people finally entered the capital.

But before they had time to appreciate the prosperity of the capital, they were imprisoned.

Looking at the dark cage around them, the Shen family members didn't say anything even though they still had complaints in their hearts.

They thought they would be tortured when they were imprisoned, but they were fed delicious food and drinks every day. This was beyond their expectation.

The rest of the Shen family ate carelessly, but Yao Shu, who was unusual, took a few chopsticks and didn't move.

Seeing her like this, the officers and soldiers guarding outside cautiously came over to ask.

"Old madam, is there something that doesn't suit your taste?"

Yao Shu shook her head, frowned, and asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

"I dare to ask Mr. Guan, is this really prison food?"

I thought that the first thing she would ask when she opened her mouth was how long it would take to get out, but she didn't expect to say that. It caught the guarding officers and soldiers off guard, and they were silent for a long time without finding the answer.

Yao Shu felt more and more something was wrong and directly stopped the Shen family nearby.

"Since it's not prison food, it's better not to eat it. Please ask the steward to clean it up."

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers at least wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and opened their mouths to explain.

"No, no, no, don't worry, madam. This is indeed not prison food, but someone specifically asked me for help."

Even if he didn't say anything else, Yao Shu could still make a rough guess. A person's name flashed in her mind, and she asked tentatively: "Is it Marquis Ning Yuan?"

Anyway, it was no longer possible to hide it, so the officers and soldiers simply vomited completely.

"That's right, it's Marquis Ningyuan. He feels pity for your family to suffer such an unreasonable disaster, so he wants to take care of you until the truth comes out."

Having said this, guilt appeared on Shen Nanshan's face.

In fact, he already knew through the officials who escorted him that Marquis Ning Yuan was not having an easy life, and now he had to extend a hand to help their family, which made him feel guilty.

Yao Shu thought of the same place as him and inquired from the side.

"I heard that something happened to Marquis Ning Yuan recently. I wonder if this matter is related to our Shen family?"

The officers and soldiers seemed to tell everything they knew because there were no outsiders around.

"It does have something to do with it. The officialdom is already messy and there are intrigues everywhere. People in high positions are even more cautious in restraining themselves and the people around them. Maybe one day they will be dragged down by the people around them. Fall off a cliff.”

As soon as these words came out, the Shen family gradually fell silent.

Although the words of the officers and soldiers only stated a truth that could not be more straightforward, they also knew that this time someone was afraid that someone would use the Shen family's affairs to embarrass Marquis Ning Yuan. For a moment, everyone felt guilty.

The officers and soldiers noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and spoke to comfort them.

"Old madam, you don't have to be like this. Since Marquis Ningyuan has his own destiny, he will definitely be able to turn danger into good fortune and eradicate villains."

Although everyone was still feeling sad, they felt a little relieved because of the officers and soldiers' words.

Yao Shu murmured: "I hope so. Everyone will be fine. We must not let the real villains go and let the good people suffer unreasonable disasters for no reason."

After she finished speaking, there was a sudden noise at the end of the corridor. The officers and soldiers immediately looked over. When they saw the person coming, their expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly said "Be prepared" and went to meet them.

Yao Shu was the first to react. Thinking that they had been so comfortable here recently, someone must be looking for trouble, so she ordered the rest of the Shen family to clean up the things on the table.

Not long after, the voices of officers and soldiers were heard over there.

"Sir, why do you suddenly have time to come to a place like this? There are dark rats and bad luck everywhere. Don't let it get to you."

The man in official uniform patted the non-existent dust on his body and walked forward.

"What do you know? There has been no progress in the case so far. The Holy Father asked me to come here to interrogate myself. By the way, I heard that they have been eating and drinking well recently. It seems as if they have come to their own home. This can't be because of you, right? ?”

His sharp eyes immediately swept around the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were completely panicked in their hearts, but they didn't dare to reveal it on their faces. They just hoped that the people inside could hear their words and react faster.

"How is that possible? Sir, I am doing this in accordance with the rules. I will never do anything that violates the rules."

It seemed that the officials did not come here to settle scores with him, so when faced with his statement, they just nodded hastily.

"It's best to bring them all out. I want to interrogate them one by one."

The officers and soldiers responded, opened the cell door as quickly as possible, and then pretended to reprimand: "You all line up one by one. Your Excellency is going to conduct an interrogation now. If you have anything to hide, I will let you know how powerful this is."

Yao Shu winked at the family and took the lead.

Seeing that they were all behaving well, the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the officers with a flattering smile: "Sir, what do you think? Do you want to start now?"

"Well, take them out one by one."

Soon, screams rang out in the cell, and almost everyone had some wounds, but they were still unwilling to say anything.

Seeing this, the official sneered: "Even if you don't say anything, a lot of evidence now points to your Shen family. You can't escape."
