Chapter 388 The Truth
"The woman just missed half her life with her child. She didn't know the truth until more than ten years later. She regretted it. However, a big mistake has been made. She really wants to make up for something, but she doesn't know how to make it up, little lady."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang stopped and looked at Wenshu, "If the little lady is that child, what would you expect the woman to do?"

It turned out that this was the reason she was abandoned.

Wen Shuxin sneered, the truth was the same as what she had guessed, but there was a little more helplessness behind it.

She put down her teacup, looked towards the palace and murmured: "I'm not that child, so I can't answer for her. However, I think she should understand. As for making up. If something is missed, it is missed. If you can If you make up for it, there won’t be so many shortcomings in the world.”

"Can't it be made up for?" Wang Shi sat there in a daze, a little absent-minded.

Wen Shu sighed: "Actually, why should Madam be obsessed with making up for the past, cherish the present, and look to the future, wouldn't it be better?"

"Looking at the future?" Wang's heart was shaken, and she looked at her hopefully, "Young lady is saying"

Wen Shu didn't understand her change of mood, nodded her head lightly, and said softly, "Actually, I didn't want to come that day, it was Miss Wang who knelt down and begged me, and I did."

"Qiao girl?"

"Well, she treats Madam as dearly as a mother, why doesn't Madam cherish the people in front of her."

Just coming here, Wang Qiaoqian, who hadn't approached yet, heard this from a distance, and couldn't help but pause.

"Qiao girl is a good child. All these years, I have treated her like a mother, and she really treats me like a mother. I will never forget the relationship I have had for so many years. I will plan for her future, and I will never forget her. It will send her away."

"But I can't let go of the past, I still want it"

"Ma'am." Wen Shu interrupted her suddenly, looked at her and said, "If the woman is given another chance, does Madam think she will make a different decision from before?"

Do it all over again?will she?Wang seriously thought about it.

After a while, there was no sound.

Wen Shu smiled, "Thank you Madam for the story, it's very nice." She looked up at the sky, but the corners of her eyes were moist for some reason.

It's all because of the sun, it's too shaky.

In the colorful garden, one person was silent, one person looked up at the sky, and the other person leaned on a pillar in the distance and looked this way.

From a distance, it looks like a painting, although silent, but hides their own sorrows and joys.

It wasn't until a voice broke the silence that the picture came alive again.

"Ma'am, Master Xiang sent someone a message."

"How to say?"

"Xiangye asked Mrs. Wen to calm down and said that her father was involved in an old case and would not be able to come out for a while, but nothing happened."

Wen Shu didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, he only waited for such a sentence.

Whether what Qin Pei said was true or not, should she believe it?

According to his previous official voice, she shouldn't believe it, but after contacting her in the past two days, at least when he faced her, he still kept his word.And at present, he is also the biggest official she can reach.

If even he can't get her father out, she can only go the last way.

After thinking for a while, Wen Shu decided to wait another day. If there was no definite news about her father tomorrow, she could only make her own way.

Anxiously, she couldn't help but glanced at the system's upgrade progress, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the progress had reached 80.00%, and the upgrade might be completed at night.

Can't help but decide in my heart.

In order to wait for Qin Pei to come back and ask for clarification, Wen Shu waited in the prime minister's mansion until nightfall when he came back from the yamen.

"I've seen Mr. Xiang."

As soon as Qin Pei stepped through the gate, he saw Wen Shu waiting at the gate, "Why are you here?"

He was a little surprised, according to her past behavior and dislike for the prime minister's mansion, shouldn't she go home early at this time?
"Bai Ri Xiang Ye entrusted someone to bring back Liao Liao's few words, I really feel uneasy after listening to them, so I am waiting here, just want to ask Xiang Ye, why is my father in prison?"

"It's a long story." Qin Pei touched his belly, "I'm hungry, let's talk at the dinner table."

This time Wen Shu didn't refuse or refute, and followed Qin Pei obediently to the flower hall in the front yard.

Over there, Mrs. Wang had already prepared a table of rice and tea, and she was standing by the door looking up at them.Seeing them coming, he rushed forward a few steps and greeted them to enter.

"Your father committed a murder more than ten years ago, and now it has been found out"

As soon as Qin Pei opened his mouth, he gave Wen Shu a shocking blow.

"Impossible, why did my father commit murder?!" Wen Shu couldn't believe it, "Is there any injustice in this, wrong judgment?"

"There are all witnesses and material evidence, and your father has also drawn a charge on the confession, and he surrendered himself back then."

Wen Shu still didn't believe it, "Since it's a capital crime, how can I live to this day!"

Could it be that her father escaped from prison?
No, no, if her father was really a murderer who escaped from prison, how would he dare to open a shop in the capital openly.After all, to open a shop in the capital is to register and pay taxes, and you can't pass the Hukou alone.

"The county magistrate at that time did not sentence your father to death, but sent him to Qiantang to repair the embankment." Qin Pei said lightly.

"Huh?" Wen Shu was stunned, thinking that he had heard wrong.

Although it was her father, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the murderer was punished with death, so could he be given a light sentence?
Can't help but wonder if Qin Pei is fooling himself.

"Because there is another matter here." Qin Pei told the case in detail.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Shu jumped up and praised, "The magistrate is really wise and powerful."

"You admire him very much?" Qin Pei stopped his chopsticks.

"No, it's admiration." Wen Shu glanced at him, "An upright and honest official like this is simply a model for all officials. Isn't such a person worthy of admiration?"

It's better than a traitor like you, who encourages the officials to flourish, wastes money and wastes money.Before doing this, Wen Shu could spit on him.

Now I can only bear it, who made her ask for something.And this person is still her.
Qin Pei smiled noncommittally, "Unfortunately, this kind of person usually doesn't end well."

Hey, why are you still cursing people?I have a bad temper.

Wen Shu really wanted to roll up his sleeves and yell at Qin Pei, but the words turned around a few times, and finally turned soft, "Man is doing it, and the sky is watching. It seems that such a good official, God will Bless him."

Qin Pei smiled and said nothing.

It took a while before he said: "Your father's matter can't be decided for a while. I'm afraid the court will have to fight for a few days. You can stay at home in these few days. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you."

"I want to visit the prison tomorrow, but I wonder if the Prime Minister can do it?"

Qin Pei thought for a while and said: "Yes, I just want to ask clearly how he changed from Li Shi to Wentai." He took a sachet from his waist, "Here is my private seal, you Take this with you tomorrow, and the jailer will naturally let you in."

"But remember, keep it safe and return it after use."

Wen Shu nodded, indicating that he had written it down, and then put the sachet into his arms, and said goodbye.
