Chapter 44
Old Mrs. Xiao sighed. It seems that the money earned by the Xiao family will not be warm this year. Around this time, 40 taels of silver have already gone out.However, Mrs. Xiao is also a person who has experienced storms. He is more important than a person with money. If the money is gone, you can transfer it again. If the person is gone, the Xiao family will really decline. It is just two or three years of savings. Although it is a bit heavy for the family, it cannot move at all.

After only two days of prison life, Xiao Nianyou seemed to be ten years old in an instant, with an unshaven beard, unkempt face, and a few gray hairs in his hair. Hearing that the prison boss said that he would be released from prison, Xiao Nianyou still looked like I couldn't believe it in my dream.

The prison chief looked at Xiao Nianyou, who was in a state of distress and vicissitudes, and was puzzled in his heart. He was surprised on his face, and said to himself: "It's incredible that this person who was sentenced to death by the emperor can walk out of the cell alive."

Until the jailer opened the chain, Xiao Nianyou walked out of the cell step by step, and saw the bright sun outside, the sun dazzled his eyes, he closed his eyes involuntarily, dared to open them after a while, he looked at the brightly colored Only then did he believe that he had finally come back to life, that he had really been released from the death penalty.

The Xiao family had already prepared the sedan chair, the old man Xiao was waiting outside the door early, when he saw Xiao Nianyou coming out with such a haggard appearance, his heart felt sore and he couldn't help but shed tears.When did his grandson suffer such a crime?

Xiao Nianyou saw Mrs. Xiao standing outside looking up and watching, probably after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Xiao's teary appearance caught Xiao Nianyou's eyes, which made him feel very guilty, and immediately knelt down in front of him and said in a deep voice: " Grandpa, grandson has made you worry and suffer!"

Mrs. Xiao just shook his head vigorously. At this moment, he had too many things to say, too many emotions to vent, but he didn't know how to start them.He doesn't feel tired, and it's a matter of course for him to work hard for his grandson.Although he was in tears, he was actually very happy at the moment, so happy that he could only vent his emotions with tears.

Xiao Nianyou and Mrs. Xiao went back to the Xiao Mansion in sedan chairs. There were a group of people standing in front of the door. Du Zhongheng, the manager, sprinkled grapefruit water on Xiao Nianyou who entered the door to ward off bad luck.

Ye Xinwei's forehead was covered with gauze, and her hands were also wrapped with gauze. She stood there pitifully, with a look of worry on her brows. Looking at Xiao Nianyou who was in a mess, her heart was full of pity, and there was no trace of grievance on her face. She looked at her husband tenderly and sadly.

Liu Yan was very excited, her husband was finally released, her face was moved, both happy and worried, looking at Xiao Nianyou who walked in without saying a word, she seemed to feel that after this, Xiao Nianyou was in prison The look was different, and she couldn't tell why it was different.

The other concubines were also very excited. When the parents of food and clothing came back, their glory and wealth could continue. Otherwise, they would probably be kicked out by Mrs. Xiao as before. Getting a severance package is not as good as it is now. What's more, they are all looking forward to having a child, especially a son who can inherit the Xiao family in the future. It is not a problem if the mother is expensive by the child, so there is hope , How could they be willing to leave?
They were overjoyed when Xiao Nianyou came back, and they saw hope again, although Xiao Nianyou went to their house very infrequently, but once he was not sure, he was pregnant?The more they can't get it, the more they look forward to it. As long as there is a little bit of hope, these women will not let it go. Maybe it is too boring to be born in the back wall, and only this kind of hope makes them feel that their lives have a purpose.

There are quite a few business partners of the Xiao family gathered at the door, some of them are gloating, as long as something happens to Xiao Nianyou, then the Xiao family will be ruined, and the business in the capital will definitely be affected, and they will get a few more shares of the pie. It's not the Xiao family's dominance.But when he heard the news that Xiao Nianyou had really escaped from the death penalty, he quickly put away his thoughts and came to the door to congratulate him.

The fact that Xiao Nianyou didn't die shows how confident the Xiao family is. In their opinion, it's not just because the Xiao family has a Fengying Princess named Xiao Muling. What can a baby like her do?They think that the biggest possibility is that the emperor is still reluctant to kill Xiao Nianyou, the emperor has friendship with Xiao Nianyou, the emperor attaches great importance to the Xiao family, it is a great honor for the ancestors to have friendship with the emperor, they have to curry favor no matter what.

Xiao Nianyou couldn't listen to the words of his family members and colleagues, whether it was words of worry, congratulations or sadness, he frowned, his face was full of tiredness, and he didn't say a word.The faces of the people who appeared in front of Xiao Nianyou with different expressions made him feel very dazed, even blurred, he couldn't see clearly and couldn't recognize who was who!
Mrs. Xiao watched his grandson's reaction, saluted the friends who came, and said loudly: "Thank you for caring about Nianyou! Nianyou is too tired physically and mentally to entertain everyone. Please move to the main hall. The banquet has been set up there, thank you Everyone appreciate the face!"

Seeing this situation, Liu Yan showed a trace of seriousness on her charming face, showing the aura of the second lady, and ordered all the people in the inner courtyard to retreat.She could only hear her say in a harmonious voice: "Sisters, my husband is tired, you go back first, you are ready to eat, dress, play, and have fun, and someone will send it to your husband's yard tomorrow. Alright, my husband is already You have come back safely, you can also rest assured, Husband knows that you are worried about him and will take it to heart."

Liu Yan's words blocked back the concubine's room in the backyard, which also showed the generosity of the headed wife, and also showed her concern and understanding for her husband. She was the whole good man herself, but the words were right. Hearing what other people in the backyard said, she herself followed Xiao Nianyou to his yard.

Ye Xinwei didn't pay attention to Liu Yan's words, and didn't even frown. She and Liu Yan are of equal status, why should she listen to Liu Yan?She also followed behind Xiao Nianyou, walking quietly, keeping a distance, looking at Xiao Nianyou from time to time.

At this time, she didn't want to disturb Xiao Nianyou, she noticed that Xiao Nianyou seemed a little out of his mind, and seemed to be thinking about something, paying no attention to the things around him and very focused.

Xiao Nianyou returned to his own yard, and his attendant, the handsome and young Chen Jin, took care of him to take a bath and renew his makeup.

He shaved off his beard, and his face became much fresher. He was still dressed in white, with a silver silk ribbon tied on a clean square bun. The deep eyes are not glowing with bright colors, but the whole person is a little less casual and less unruly, a little more calm and a little more charming.

He drank the porridge briefly and then fell asleep. This sleep was very deep.

Liu Yan and Ye Xinwei just watched from outside the door and were not in a hurry to go in. They had followed Xiao Nianyou for three years and knew his temper.At this time, whoever goes in and talks about who is unlucky, but seeing Xiao Nianyou fell asleep, both of them felt a little disappointed.

But they saw Xiao Nianyou was so tired and couldn't bear to blame, so they left one after another, but none of the female family members in the inner courtyard slept soundly.

After a good night's sleep, Xiao Nianyou woke up the next day and felt much better. The bright sunlight came in through the doors and windows. The warm golden color made people feel bright and warm. It was already high in the sun.

Xiao Nianyou calmed down to think about something, a woman's voice came from outside the door, which made Xiao Nianyou agitated for a while, but he didn't know who was muttering outside, and sometimes even sharp words came out, although they were faintly discernible but could not be heard clearly It's not a good thing to think about.
