After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Something happened to daddy?

Looking at the few words on the letter paper, Shen Ruoyan was in a state of confusion. Her fingers holding the letter paper unconsciously exerted force, and she accidentally poked a hole in the letter paper.

Seeing this, Twelve asked worriedly: "Tangtang, what's wrong with you? Did my brother say something in the letter?"

Trying to hide the panic in her heart, Shen Ruoyan folded the paper and put it back in the envelope, and said calmly: "It's okay. Brother Wei wrote to tell me that my father was sick and asked me to go back and take a look. Just now I was temporarily I was so impatient that I accidentally tore the letter paper."

Xiao Twelve frowned, "It turns out your father is sick. Is it serious?"

"Don't worry, it's probably the old habit that happened again. It's not a problem." Thinking of her father, Shen Ruoyan's heart beat a little faster, but she still squeezed out a smile on the surface and said to Twelve, "But my father is old Now that I'm older, I can't worry anymore, so I still want to go back and see with my own eyes. The Young Pavilion Master is resting, so I'll go ask the Old Pavilion Master for a leave of absence."

Twelve nodded, without thinking about why Shen Ruoyan was in such a hurry to leave, and said kindly: "Tangtang, please wait for me. I usually save a lot of money, and I will bring it back to you later. Your father is sick. , it costs money to see a doctor and buy medicine, we are good sisters, don’t be polite to me."

Shen Ruoyan was touched by the little girl's sincerity, and her worries were relieved a little. She took Xiao Twelve's hand and said, "Thank you, but I have enough money here, so you'd better save it.

By the way, when did you receive this letter? "

Something big must have happened to her father, otherwise Brother Wei would not have written to her specially. Shen Ruoyan was afraid that she would get the news too late and that by the time she rushed back, it would be too late.

Twelve thought that Shen Ruoyan was worried about her father's condition, so she explained: "This letter was sent together with the information my brother sent back to the pavilion just now. It is included in the family letter my brother gave me. I think his name is I'll hand it over to you as soon as possible and deliver it to you right away. Don't worry, I didn't waste any time."

Shen Ruoyan thanked Xiao Twelve and immediately walked up to the old pavilion master's house.

In the room, the old pavilion master was sitting on a Taishi chair. There were several pieces of paper spread out on the small table next to him. The old man was a little surprised by Shen Ruoyan's arrival, but he soon felt that her appearance was reasonable, so he He asked directly: "Did Wei Xu tell you the matter?"

Shen Ruoyan did not practice Tai Chi with him, but nodded and admitted directly. For fear that the old pavilion master would blame her, she took the initiative to plead: "Don't blame Brother Wei. I asked him to tell me if anything happens at home."

The old pavilion master raised his eyebrows. Wei Xu was a secret guard trained by him. He had received strict training since he was a child. How could he just listen to Xiao Nizi's casual request and do things for her? He had just regarded Shen Ruoyan as a misunderstanding. Only one of them would tell her the news privately and against the rules.

"I didn't expect that this kid Wei Xu looks so naive, but he is quite smart." The old pavilion master joked, without any intention of pursuing Wei Xu. He picked up the two pieces of letter paper at hand and handed them directly to Shen Ruoyan, "Girl, This is the news from our informants in the capital, see for yourself."

Shen Ruoyan took the letter with both hands, scanned it line by line, calmed down her mood, and read it again word for word.

Compared with Wei Xu's sentence "Master Shen is in trouble, please come home quickly." This one describes the whole story of what happened in great detail.

It all starts with the turmoil in the spring.

That unprecedented disaster destroyed almost all the local buildings, and the people in Yizhou were in dire straits.

In order to rescue the victims, the imperial court allocated a large sum of money, thinking that it could help them tide over the difficulties. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a man in ragged clothes suddenly beat the Dengwen drum hanging outside Chaoyang Gate.

The man was unkempt, and the guards thought he was a lunatic. They were about to chase him away, but the man answered rationally. It turned out that the man was the magistrate of a small county in Yizhou. He relied on his own feet to walk from Yizhou went to the capital for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Yizhou.

According to that person, those people in Yizhou who narrowly escaped from the earthquake are now living in misery.

There were no medicines, no clothes, and no food. Many people managed to survive the devastating natural disasters, but because they had no medicines, they died of pain and no food, and starved to death.

As a parent official, he really couldn't bear it. He had no money to hire a carriage, so he relied on his own legs to trek thousands of miles to the emperor's feet to complain, hoping that the emperor could help them. Before winter, There will be more people who cannot survive.

The emperor was furious after hearing this. It had been so long since the turmoil. A large amount of money had been allocated, and various memorials were reported every day. They were all good news praising the great achievements of the imperial court.

It wasn't until he met the county magistrate with his own eyes that the emperor realized that he had been kept in the dark. Not even a penny of the disaster relief funds had been spent on the victims. Master Shen, the Minister of Household Affairs, naturally bore the brunt of the disaster. Unfortunately, he was imprisoned in Dali Temple by the emperor, and he was told that he would not be released until the case was clarified.

Shen Ruoyan put down the letter and frowned even more.

Her mother was weak and afraid of getting into trouble, and her brother was a knight-errant and never paid attention to the affairs of the court. Her father was now imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the family must have been in chaos. No wonder Wei Xu would use the word "return quickly."

"Lord Pavilion Master, I have to go back immediately." Shen Ruoyan said worriedly, wishing that she could grow wings and fly home directly now.

"Good boy, don't worry, I'll send some people to take you back." The old Pavilion Master stood up and walked behind the desk, picked up a pen and paper and said, "I will edit a book now and let Wei Xu take orders directly from you. There are many secret stakes in our pavilion in the capital, and you can allocate all available manpower and material resources at will, no need to be polite to me."

Faced with such a great gift, Shen Ruoyan didn't know how to react.

You must know that it is just a Zuiyue Tower, but behind it is a stream of silver and all kinds of first-hand gossip.

The value of all Tianyan Pavilion's resources in the capital has exceeded her ability to estimate, and the old man directly handed this power into her hands, and Shen Ruoyan was afraid that she was not capable of it.

"Yan'er, our family doesn't speak the same language." Seeing Shen Ruoyan's hesitation, the old pavilion master said cheerfully, "I am old, and the world will be dominated by you young people from now on. Don't think that you are young, You are a girl, so you are timid. I am particularly fond of you, so don’t worry about anything, just go ahead and do it boldly. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."
