Gu Yunxi saw the two people's actions out of the corner of his eye, and sneered in his heart. This uncle was really afraid of injuring him.

Even Aunt Lu was heartless. Her own brother was taken away, yet she was so indifferent.

That's all, that's all, Gu Yunxi originally came here with He to seek their help with just a glimmer of hope.

Since they said they couldn't help, don't force it. From now on, just pretend that they don't have this kind of relationship.

"Mom, let's go and find Sister Zhen."

Mrs. He nodded, like a mirror in her heart, and took a deep look at Xu Wei and Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu looked slightly uncomfortable when she was looked at by Mr. He, and she did not dare to look directly at Mr. He.

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Aunt Lu pulled Xu Wei and said, "His father, why are you stopping me and not letting me talk?"

"Stupid woman, didn't you hear your sister-in-law say that your brother was taken away by people from the government? The government can take people away, but also wrongly accuse your brother?"

"You are not from the Lu family now. I won't let you speak because I don't want to get into trouble. People from the government are no joke."

Aunt Lu muttered a few words, but still didn't want to believe that Father Lu had committed any crime and was taken away by the government.

However, under the pressure of Xu Wei, she did not dare to say anything more.

Besides, Gu Yunxi and He walked to Shixiufang and hurriedly went in and called Wang Jiaozhen.

Wang Jiaozhen looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were in a hurry and was very surprised.

"Sister Yunxi, aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yunxi didn't have time to tell her in detail, so he just picked out the important ones and told her that Father Lu had been captured by the government.

"Sister Zhen, do you know anyone in the government who can help me find out something?"

Wang Jiaozhen nodded. She really knew someone from the government, who was her brother.

"Yunxi, aunt, don't worry, let's go, I will go with you to find my brother."

After saying that, Wang Jiaozhen gave a few instructions to the clerk at the embroidery shop and rushed to the government office with Gu Yunxi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

At this time, Wang Jiaozhen's brother Wang Baotou was still on duty. He was surprised when he heard that his sister was here.

"Jiaozhen, why are you here at this time? But what happened at home?"

His sister had almost never come to the Yamen to look for him, and it was at this hour, so there must be something urgent.

I, Wang Baotou, hurriedly walked to the door, only to see two unfamiliar faces standing next to my sister.

"Brother!" Wang Jiaozhen shouted with a smile on her face, maybe she hadn't seen her brother for a long time.

"There's nothing wrong at home. It's a good sister of mine who's having trouble at home. I'm here to see if I can help you in any way."

Captain Wang was a little surprised. His sister came back from Heli and was busy with the business of the embroidery shop. Where are the other sisters?

The woman in front of her, whom she could call a sister, had a lot to do with her.

Gu Yunxi's eyes were anxious, and he followed Wang Jiaozhen's words and said to Wang Captou: "Brother Wang family, my father-in-law was taken away by your government officials this morning. We are from Xijiang Village, and my father-in-law's name is Lu Lide."

"My father-in-law is an honest man and everyone in Xijiang Village knows it. Can you help us find out why my father-in-law was taken away?"

Mr. Wang: "Ah! This is your home!"

"Mrs. Lu, let me tell you the truth. Yesterday, the Yamen received news that someone reported that someone was planting prohibited plants in Xijiang Village."

"Does your family grow anything that is strictly prohibited by the imperial court?"

Gu Yunxi quickly shook his head and explained: "Brother Wang, our family has planted ten acres of medicinal herbs, but they are all honeysuckle, and there is nothing strictly prohibited."

Wang Jiaozhen also added: "Brother, sister Yunxi's family has definitely been framed."

Capt. Wang was also a little confused. He didn't have this case in his hands and he wasn't very clear about it.

However, he told the others not to worry. He would go and inquire first, and if there was any news, he would pass it on to Gu Yunxi.

He and Gu Yunxi thanked him profusely. Gu Yunxi handed over another bulging cloth bag and said, "Brother of the Wang family, my father will ask you to take care of me."

Inside the cloth bag, there were twenty taels of broken silver that Gu Yunxi had saved in his daily life, as well as ten taels from selling honeysuckle.

They all say that money makes things easier. I hope that with the money, Mr. Wang will be able to inquire about information more easily, and Mr. Lu will be able to live a better life in the government office.

The sky was starting to get dark. Gu Yunxi and He were worried about their family again, so they said goodbye to Wang Jiaozhen and Wang Captou.

On the other side, at home, Lu Qingqing and Gu Yunle made a few simple dishes, cooked the rice, ate some perfunctorily, and sat eagerly at the door waiting for Gu Yunxi and He to come back.

From time to time, villagers came to the door of the Lu family, asking for information and wanting to know what the Lu family had done.

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, and Lu Jian'an was asleep. Two black shadows were getting closer and closer under the moonlight. It was Gu Yunxi and He who were back.

"Mom! Sister-in-law! You are back!"

"Sister, aunt!"

When Lu Qingqing and Gu Yunle saw the two coming back, they jumped up and shouted excitedly.

Sister-in-law Liang was also on the side. Seeing them coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Aunt, Jianchuan's wife, you are back."

"Sister-in-law Liang, I'm really sorry to trouble you. We came back late."

Gu Yunxi was apologetic. It was almost dark before she and He rushed home from the town. The road was too dark and the two of them walked slowly, so they were delayed.

Sister-in-law Liang actually waited for her at the door with Lu Qingqing and the others at such a late hour. This feeling was really rare.

"Have you heard the news? How is uncle's situation?"

Sister-in-law Liang then added that her father-in-law and the man were back and said they had not found any useful information.

Gu Yunxi shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, thank Uncle Village Chief and Brother Yuanping for me."

"My uncle, when I heard that he was asked to help inquire about this matter, he directly told us that he couldn't help. It was really disappointing."

"However, fortunately, I went to a friend for help. There is no news yet. I can only wait and see tomorrow."

Sister-in-law Liang nodded and comforted her a few more words, saying that any family would collapse if this kind of thing happened to them.

After Sister-in-law Liang left, Gu Yunxi ate in a hurry with Mr. He, then fetched some water to wipe himself a few times, and then returned to the house.

An oil lamp was already lit in the room at this time. Under the light, Lu Jianchuan's face was a little grim.

"Daughter-in-law, you're back? How are you?" Lu Jianchuan asked anxiously.

Gu Yunxi sat on the edge of the bed, their eyes facing each other.

"Lu Jianchuan, I went to the medicine field today. What do you think I found? Someone secretly planted rice bag flowers beside the medicine field!"

Lu Jianchuan was not surprised, because Doctor Qin told him about this after he came back.

"Later, my mother and I went to the town. By coincidence, sister Zhen's brother was the head catcher in the yamen."

"He has promised to help us find out the news. Dad will be taken care of by him there, so he shouldn't suffer too much."

Lu Jianchuan nodded, and his stern expression softened a little.
