Chapter 409 Forced Smile
Chapter 409 Forced Smile
When Zhou Yuwei learned that her mother couldn't rescue her immediately, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
Wei was so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe, but there was nothing she could do. It was all because Zhao Mingyuan was too cruel and ruthless. Her daughter was deeply in love with him.
Wei'er is just a weak woman. How could he be so cruel to lock her up in this place where it is neither human nor ghost.
They clearly said that they could compensate the dead soldier, and if that wasn't enough, they could add more.
Wei held her daughter's hand across the fence, tears streaming down her face, but she was powerless to do anything.
Finally, the jailer came in to remind Wei that the time was almost up and asked her to leave quickly.
The servant was more sensible. He flattered the yamen runner with a smile, stuffed a silver ingot into his pocket calmly, and asked the yamen runner to give him more time.
Seeing the two female prisoners staring at Wei's mother and daughter with murderous eyes, the servant was startled.
He was also a small-time man and knew that these female prisoners were extremely vicious.
After they leave, the young lady will probably be tormented by them again, and a beating will be considered the least of her worries.
The servant sighed, divided the things Wei brought into two parts, and then went over to Wei and told her his plan.
After hearing what the servant whispered, Wei felt that the meaning of his words made sense. Moreover, the servant seemed to be thinking about his daughter, so he could be considered loyal.
Wei was glad that she had called a smart servant to follow her, otherwise she would not have been able to figure out these things for a while. After all, she was born into an official family and had no idea about these dark things in prison.
She nodded in agreement, and the servant stepped forward and politely handed the things to the two female prisoners.
The female prisoner didn't make things difficult for a servant. She took the things with a smile on her face. The servant and Wei both breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Yuwei curled her lips when she saw this and was about to ask the servant why he gave things to the female prisoners because they beat her so hard.
Of course, Wei understood what her daughter was thinking. She quickly covered her mouth and whispered to her that if she had any grudges, she could go out and take revenge. The situation was beyond her control now, so she should just say less.
Zhou Yuwei agreed with a frustrated attitude.
After Wei left, the female prisoner didn't make things difficult for her. She just asked her to massage the two men's shoulders to relax them.
Zhou Yuwei was angry but dared not say anything, because they beat her so hard.
While massaging, she was thinking viciously in her heart how to find someone to deal with the two female prisoners after she got out.
Wei reluctantly left the prison and rushed home to see Zhou Cheng.
After all, Zhou Cheng is the head of the Zhou family. If anything happens to him, the Zhou family will be truly finished.
Let’s not talk about the Zhou family’s affairs for now, and talk about the Liu Mansion first.
Since General Liu learned about Zhou Cheng's affairs, he did not ignore them.
It was not only because of the generous gift from Zhou Cheng's family, but also because he had to do a good job of appearances, after all, there were many people following him.
At this time, everyone under him was watching his actions. If he really abandoned Zhou Cheng, his subordinates would be disappointed.
How can I work hard for myself in the future?
When his subordinates were reporting military affairs to him, they vaguely mentioned the Zhou family's affairs. General Liu said with a serious face that he would naturally speak for the Zhou family.
The daughter of the Zhou family was also saved. After all, she didn't do it on purpose. She was just young and in love with General Zhao, so she unintentionally ruined General Zhao's plan.
They are all comrades, and General Zhao is really making a big deal out of nothing. While General Liu is expressing his feelings, he is secretly "slandering" Zhao Mingyuan.
When he saw that there were also expressions of dissatisfaction on everyone's faces, General Liu was very satisfied.
What's more, the reputation of the Zhou family's daughter is ruined. He can take her in to his own house. Anyway, after this incident, no one in the entire Liuguan Town, even ordinary people, would want to marry a woman who had been in prison.
General Liu might as well be a good man and take this woman into his own backyard. One more woman is no big deal, and he doesn't mind.
If I accept Zhou Yuwei, I can also help Zhou Cheng.
So General Liu talked to Madam Liu, and when he had some free time, he went to find Zhao Mingyuan.
Of course, when he went to find Zhao Mingyuan, it was in front of many generals.
I don't know what he said to Zhao Mingyuan, or what agreement they reached, but in any case, General Liu's face was not very good when he came out. When he saw his generals, he forced a smile and said that the problem was solved.
In fact, he felt very aggrieved, but he had no choice. Zhao Mingyuan seized the things he cared about and asked him to make an exchange. If he did not agree, he would have no face in front of his own people, and he probably would not be loyal to him anymore.
That day, Zhou Yuwei was beaten with ten boards and sent back to the Zhou family. Zhou Cheng was demoted from the sixth-rank lieutenant general to the seventh-rank guerrilla general, and his salary was deducted for two years and fined 100 taels of silver as punishment for not educating his daughter properly.
