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

The emperor smiled with satisfaction and glanced at Yao Shu.

Yao Shu knew that he still had something to say, so she kept her head bowed respectfully and did not look at him. Although the so-called eye contact can make the emperor trust him more, sometimes it may be regarded as a provocation.

During critical periods, it’s better not to be too showy.

After waiting for a long time but not hearing the emperor's answer, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and look gently. I noticed that the emperor had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was pondering over how to respond.

"Are you Yang Aiqing's brother Shen Nanshan?" the emperor suddenly asked Shen Nanshan, making him tremble immediately.

He has rarely seen such a big scene, and he doesn't know how to react at this moment.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Yao Shu beside him. This small move was also noticed by the emperor.

The emperor smiled coldly, looked at him, and whispered: "I heard that Yang Aiqing's younger brother is henpecked. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is indeed well-deserved."

"Your Majesty, minister..." Shen Nanshan was still not used to this title, but after all, he was the younger brother of the then Ning Yuan Marquis, and he could be a minister in front of the emperor with both emotion and reason.

Seeing that he was speechless, the emperor smiled softly: "You don't have to be afraid, henpecking is not a bad thing. The so-called people who love their wives often have a harmonious family. From my point of view, your wife is not a bad lady. A virtuous person.”

Shen Nanshan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in response: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Is this really a compliment?

Yao Shu was keenly aware that the emperor's words were definitely not that simple, so she carefully observed the emperor's expression.

As expected, the emperor's expression changed in the next second, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.

"Nowadays, regardless of whether you are a man, a woman, or a child, your marriage must be of a good match. Now Aiqing is the younger brother of Marquis Ningyuan, and his status is very different from before. Although Yao Shu has the title of county lord, after all, his status is different. In the future, Aiqing will There will definitely be great achievements, and the county leader must continue his efforts."

The emperor stopped talking and did not want to waste too much time on them. He waved his hand and let them leave.

On the way back, because there were officers and soldiers following them, the two did not communicate much.

Back in the prison, the Shen family members immediately rushed forward, scrambling to ask about the current situation.

Yao Shu shook her head gently: "The emperor has not made it clear that he will let us leave, but you can rest assured that as long as you wait here quietly, there will definitely be good news."

"We have all contributed such good things, but the emperor still..." Shen He couldn't help but frown, and before he could finish speaking, he was punched hard by Shen Bei.

Now that we are in a critical situation, we should not say anything nonsense, and be careful that the walls have ears.

Seeing Yao Shu's displeased expression, Shen Nanshan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked softly: "Old lady, are you still worried about the boss's situation?"

They were detained separately from Shen Qiu. Now they don't know where Shen Qiu is or whether he was tortured to extract a confession.

Yao Shu was naturally worried, but judging from the emperor's appearance just now, Shen Qiu should be safe now. If the emperor really acquiesces to torture and extorting confessions, according to Shen Qiu's temperament, he will not admit it easily, and he will definitely suffer physical pain. The emperor would definitely feel a little guilty and surprised after seeing the map they presented.

But looking at it today, the emperor's eyes were filled with only joy, thinking that Shen Qiu should be safe and sound.

However, Shen Qiu's safety was not Yao Shu's biggest worry. She looked at others. The Shen family was still immersed in the joy of leaving a dark place, and did not take into account the situation here at all.

"Old woman, what on earth have you thought of?" Shen Nanshan couldn't help but ask.

Yao Shu looked serious: "Do you know what the emperor just said?"

"Don't we just want you and me to work hard and not lose the face of Marquis Ning Yuan?" Shen Nanshan was still as careless as ever, and we couldn't expect him to react at this moment.

"The emperor means that I am no longer worthy of you, implying that you should find someone else as soon as possible for your future." Yao Shu said angrily.

Shen Nanshan didn't believe it at all: "Aren't you kidding? How could the emperor mean this? And you haven't done anything, so why would the emperor embarrass you?"

Speaking of this, Shen Nanshan was suddenly stunned.

I didn't react just now, but now I suddenly think clearly about what I just said.

Yao Shu was right, the emperor was beating him.

Although the emperor's specific plans are not yet known, Yao Shu and Shen Nanshan agreed to observe temporarily with the idea of ​​​​taking one step at a time.

That night, officers and soldiers came to them. Emperor Xuancheng had found out that they had been wronged and allowed them to be released.

The Shen family members were ecstatic, looked at each other, and began to discuss choosing a day to take a tour of the huge capital.

Listening to their few words, Yao Shu also felt particularly happy.

Ningyuan Marquis Yang Yu had arranged a residence for them in advance. It was a house located on the outskirts of the city. Although it was not as good as the Shen family's village in Zhangzhou City, it was still suitable for the next generation of his family.

Yao Shu was thinking about Yang Yu's favor, so she planned to go to Yang Yu's house the next day to express her gratitude. Looking at the thoughtful look on Shen Nanshan's face, Yao Shu knew that he still harbored it in his heart.

"The reason why we were able to live in peace during this period of time in prison was entirely due to the help of Marquis Ningyuan. If it weren't for him, how would we have enough to eat every day. Now that we are temporarily out of danger, the kindness of providing help in times of need is natural. In return." After saying that, Yao Shu began to prepare things for tomorrow.

They have just moved here from Zhangzhou City and have not prepared enough things.

Yao Shu originally thought about taking this opportunity to move her family directly to the capital, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't worry about the business in Zhangzhou City. At present, we can only take one step at a time, and step by step is the best.

"Old lady, I will listen to you." Shen Nanshan always believed in Yao Shu's arrangements. Yao Shu would never do anything to harm him at any time.

Along the way, through ups and downs, Shen Nanshan became more and more dependent on Yao Shu.

He gently hugged Yao Shu's slender waist and whispered softly: "No matter what, I will never reconcile with you. If the emperor insists on doing so, then I will definitely resist to the end."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist again to express his determination.

Yao Shu nodded, she understood what Shen Nanshan was thinking. However, I still hope that everything will go smoothly, and I will try to avoid unfounded charges and unnecessary pain.

Today, Yao Shu rarely suffered from insomnia and got up early to prepare for the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
