Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 139

When Yin Jiafu saw that her father was about to lock her up, she panicked and shouted, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are you locking me up? Dad, open the door!"

"You stay here and think it over. I'll let you out when you've figured it out."

The noise was quite loud and alarmed Mrs. Yin.

"Master, what's going on? Why is Fu'er's room sealed?"

"Mom, mom, please save me." Yin Jiafu shouted through the sealed doors and windows.

"Fuer, did you do something to make your father angry again?"

Madam Yin knew her daughter's temper. She was very willful and often acted without considering the consequences. She had done many stupid things on impulse based on her momentary likes and dislikes. Yin Qianlan had punished her for this many times, but it was the first time she had seen her locked up and the doors and windows nailed shut like today.

"My daughter didn't do anything."

"Fuer, although you are usually a little willful, your father would not do this for no reason."

"My daughter just wanted to teach her a lesson. She really didn't do anything."

"You still don't repent, so you should reflect on yourself in prison." After saying this, Yin Qianlan flicked his sleeves and left.

"Mom, please save me and let me out."

"Fu'er, your father is angry. Please be patient. Mother will go and persuade your father. You just stay here. Que'er, take good care of the young lady."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Mrs. Yin finished speaking, she hurried after Yin Qianlan.

"Master, although Fu'er is a little willful and sometimes does things without considering the consequences, we watched her grow up after all. Why should we lock her up?"

"Madam, don't defend her in everything just because you love her. Doing so will only hurt her."

"What happened?"

Yin Qianlan told her that Yin Jiafu had colluded with gangsters to murder Prince Chen and Princess Shaohua.

Madam Yin was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time after hearing this. "Master, could you be mistaken? How could Fu'er be so bold to do such a thing?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen personally interrogated him, so there is a high probability that he is correct."

"What should we do, Master? You must save Fu'er!" As he spoke, tears began to flow.

"It is a serious crime to murder His Highness and the Princess. I have locked her up now in order to give her a glimmer of hope. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and report to His Highness to seek a glimmer of hope. You must not be soft-hearted and release Fu'er, otherwise the whole family will suffer."

"Yes, sir, I understand. I will go and comfort her."

"Fu'er still refuses to admit what she did. You should find a chance to persuade her and ask her to admit her mistakes. Maybe there will be a chance for a change."

"Well, I know what to do."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Jiang Long knew that Peng Hu had failed when he learned that their stronghold was surrounded by soldiers. Just when he was thinking about whether to resist or surrender, Yin Qianlan sent someone to deliver a message.

"When Jiang Zhaizhu saw the soldiers outside, he should know what happened. Jiang Zhaizhu has been entrenched here for many years, and my master also knows it, but he has not taken any action. It is also because he knows that Jiang Zhaizhu and his brothers in the village are forced to gather here for a living, and they have not done anything extremely bad, so my master turned a blind eye and let it go."

"Lord Yin is indeed a rare honest and good official."

"But my Lord can't just ignore what happened today."

"We are also paid to do the work, and we really don't know the tricks involved."

"My master also believes that Jiang Zhaizhu is not lying, so please come with me and go to the government office to explain the whole story in front of my master."

"I can go with you, but my brothers in the village..."

"Master Jiang, please rest assured. As long as you control your brothers and make them stay in the village and don't act rashly, my master will not make things difficult for them."

"Okay, I'll go and explain and then I'll go with you."

"Please."
