After my rebirth, I married my ex-husband and his uncle

Chapter 258 Now is a Sensitive Period

When Qin Fenghua said this, his heart was a little heavy, and he added: "I will ask someone to take care of them, and I won't let them suffer in prison."

Early the next morning, Qin Fenghua and Rong Jing had breakfast in the main hall. Qin Jin walked in with He Tingrong. After the four greeted each other, Qin Jin and He Tingrong sat down to eat.

Qin Fenghua first looked at He Tingrong, and saw that she looked okay, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, how is the fourth sister? Why don't you come out for dinner?"

He Tingrong paused while holding the spoon, thought for a while, and finally put down the white porcelain spoon in his hand, looked up at Qin Fenghua, and said: "She has suffered a lot along the way, suffered a lot of fear, she cried herself to sleep last night. I went, I'm still not awake yet."

Qin Fenghua was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "Sister Si can tell you how she escaped?"

"Well, I said it," He Tingrong lowered her eyes, stirred the Ruyi eight-treasure porridge in a white porcelain bowl, and said, "When grandfather and the others walked to Huangzhou, they were caught up by Dongchang's fans. Tingyi happened to leave to run some errands, and when she came back with the little maid, she found out that grandfather had been arrested after inquiring."

"She was a little girl with a maidservant who was younger than her. She went all the way to inquire and go back to the capital after going through a lot of hardships. When she arrived in the capital, she found that the whole city was hunting for her father. Knowing that the He family was involved in a major imperial examination case, Ting Yi was too young to panic, so he just...knocked on the door of the Hou's residence last night."

Qin Fenghua lowered her head and pondered. Although what the second sister-in-law said was not wrong, she still felt that there was something strange about it. He Tingyi, a delicate young lady, walked back to the capital from Huangzhou thousands of miles away. People find it incredible.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Qin Fenghua's mind, and she immediately raised her eyes to look at He Tingrong: "Sister-in-law, does Fourth Sister have a guide?"

The Great Xia Dynasty had strict control over the movement and migration of the population. Most people who wanted to travel far away had to carry guides, and soldiers at the city gates along the way would let them go, otherwise they would be detained as fugitives.

He Tingrong: "I've never asked about this, I'll ask after Tingyi wakes up."

Qin Fenghua nodded, and said: "That's fine, by the way, Second Sister-in-law, didn't you say that she fled with the little maid, what about her little maid? Why is it missing?"

He Tingrong fell silent, and said in a deep voice, "Dead."

Qin Fenghua raised his head suddenly, surprised: "Dead? How did he die?"

He Tingrong: "He was beaten to death."

"He was beaten to death?" Qin Fenghua was extremely surprised, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"I heard that when they walked halfway, all the money and jewelry that could be exchanged for money had been spent. Without money, the dry food on their bodies would naturally run out. When they were in Tong County, miles away, they were completely out of food, and the little girl was loyal, so in order to survive, she had to choose to steal, so they stole all the way, walked all the way, and the two of them walked a long way."

"Later, once the little girl asked Tingyi to wait for her in a ruined temple outside the city. She went into the city to find food, but that day, Tingyi waited outside the city until it was almost dark, and the little girl never came back. Tingyi Don't worry, go to the city to find her."

Speaking of this, He Tingrong's voice choked up, she lowered her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to speak, and after a moment of silence, He Tingrong continued: "Tingyi searched every corner of the city, big and small, I finally found the little girl in a gutter, there was a huge bloody hole in her temple, her body was so cold that she died."

"When she died, she was still holding a half-torn bun in her hand, and there was a bun shop not far from that gutter. When she went to the bun shop to steal buns, someone threw a stone at her. dead."

"That maid's death dealt a great blow to Tingyi. After she collected the maid's body, she begged along the way and finally arrived in the capital."

What happened to He Tingyi made everyone present silent. After a while, Qin Fenghua continued to ask: "Sister-in-law, how do you plan to arrange for the fourth sister now?"

He Tingrong was silent, she knew what Qin Fenghua was asking.

There was a flash of struggle on He Tingrong's face, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Little sister, can't you temporarily place Tingyi in the mansion?"

Although He Tingyi was not very close to her before, but... He Tingyi is also her sister after all, how could she have the heart to send He Tingyi to prison?Besides, she traveled thousands of miles, holding great hopes, and almost climbed to the capital to join her sister, how could she, how could...

Qin Fenghua silently looked back at He Tingrong and didn't speak, but her meaning was already obvious.

He Tingrong looked at her, strands of grief flashed in his eyes, he was so sad that he almost cried out.

Qin Fenghua sighed lowly, and said yesterday's promise: "Sister-in-law, I will say hello to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and I won't suffer too much after I listen to you. When the dust of the He family is settled, you will come back again." Answer the question and come to the Hou's residence for a short stay."

Qin Fenghua paused, and then said again: "Now, it is indeed too sensitive."

After finishing speaking, Qin Fenghua and his elder brother Qin Jin looked at each other, motioning for his elder brother to persuade He Tingrong, and left the table with Rong Jing.

Water floating courtyard.

This courtyard is the temporary residence arranged by He Tingrong and He Tingyi. It is very close to her courtyard, so it is convenient for her to take care of He Tingyi.

He Tingrong stepped into the yard with a heavy heart. The maid who was sweeping the yard was sweeping up the autumn leaves that fell last night. When the maid saw He Tingrong coming in, she quickly stopped her hands and saluted He Tingrong. He waved his hand indifferently, and walked straight towards the direction of the house.

The woman standing in front of the door saw He Tingrong coming from a distance, and hurriedly opened the curtain for He Tingrong, but He Tingrong stopped suddenly and asked the woman, "Miss Biao, is she awake?"

The mother-in-law replied respectfully: "Back to Second Grandma, Miss Biao cried all night last night and fell asleep at dawn, and she is still awake."

He Tingrong was silent for a while, then gave an "um" if there was nothing, and finally lowered her head, crossed the curtain, and entered.

He Tingrong walked slowly to the inner room, seeing that He Tingyi was still asleep, she couldn't bear to wake her up, so she sat on He Tingyi's bedside, looked at an autumn chrysanthemum on the window sill, and was lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft call suddenly sounded, calling back He Tingrong's wandering thoughts.

"elder sister."

He Tingrong looked down and saw that her sister had woken up and was looking at herself with red and swollen eyes, which was the trace of crying all night.
