The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 238 Taking refuge

"Mother, I carefully observed the girl's expression. There was not a trace of hypocrisy in her clear eyes. I thought to myself, if she didn't have an identity or means that should not be underestimated, how could she move freely in this heavily guarded place as if she were in an empty place?

Qin's eyes lingered on the mottled iron bars of the cell for a moment, as if looking for some clues. Then she spoke slowly, with some certainty in her tone: "It is true. This woman may be hiding powers and secrets that we don't know about."

Time flies, and soon, Mo Shiyu returned with a team of extraordinary followers. Their steps were steady, and there seemed to be a majesty in their clothes that could not be ignored.

The old man, who was called the jailer by everyone, was extremely respectful when facing Mo Shiyu, almost in a worshipful manner. With a slight wave of his hand, the Liu family prison door that had been closed for many days opened silently.

The cell door creaked, and it seemed like a long-lost song of freedom, echoing in this dark and damp space.

Qin, Xie the eldest, Xie the second, as well as Jiang and Qin, all looked stunned and hesitated, as if they could not believe what they were seeing.

The sunlight shines through the narrow window onto their dusty faces. At that moment, light and hope seem to be within reach.

“This…this is coming out just like that?”

Xie Laoer muttered to himself, his eyes showing both surprise and disbelief.

"Girl, what method did you use to allow us to see the light of day again?"

Qin's voice trembled slightly, and she realized that the young woman in front of her was no longer the person she could call by a nickname at will in the past.

The respect at this moment is not only out of gratitude, but also a reverence for the unknown power.

Qin secretly calculated in his heart that if he was not careful and angered this mysterious woman who had the ability to rewrite fate, the freedom they had just gained would be gone in an instant, and they would be imprisoned in this cage without seeing the sun again. How desperate and sad that would be.

Therefore, she weighed every word and sentence carefully, fearing that she would make even the slightest mistake.

My father is a county lieutenant, so it is no problem for him to handle trivial matters."

Mo Shiyu covered her lips with her hand, and her chuckle was filled with confidence and coquettishness.

"You are all new here, and perhaps you don't know where Master Xie's residence is. How about I lead the way?"

She suggested, a hint of gentle concern in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qin nodded in agreement and made some calculations in her mind.

The plan to return to Xianghe Village today has become a pipe dream. After traveling here at night, the group of people are all exhausted, as if their skeletons are about to fall to the ground.

They had no place to stay in the county town, so they had no choice but to seek refuge with Xie Tianyi.

Even though there had been rifts between the two families, how could the friendship of many years be severed just like that? Qin felt mixed emotions, knowing the ways of the world, friendships cannot be severed in one day, but accumulate over time and gradually drift apart.

Mo Shiyu didn't want these dusty travelers to defile her carriage, so she rented another one with her own money.

It was the first time for the Liu family to ride in a carriage. Besides being curious, their faces were filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Mo Shiyu was sitting in her own car, and the noise from the car behind her could be heard. She couldn't help feeling a little irritated, but the distance was limited after all. Once she could safely deliver the person to Xie Tianyi, he would surely be grateful.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on her lips again.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Chen residence on Taohuawu Street. Mo Shiyu jumped off lightly and turned to announce to everyone, "We're here. This is Master Xie's residence!"

She got this address by secretly sending someone to follow Xie Tianyi and inquire from various sources. Even she herself was setting foot here for the first time.

Everyone got off the car and was stunned by the magnificent mansion in front of them.

They had originally thought that the blue brick courtyard in the village was a paradise on earth, but they had not expected that Xie Tianyi's residence in the county town would be a hundred times more luxurious than the village house. Their expressions at this moment were just like Granny Liu's first visit to the Grand View Garden, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.

Just as everyone was amazed, the door of the Chen Mansion slowly opened from the inside, and Xie Tianyi and Old Master Xie walked out side by side.

"My dear!"

Qin called out excitedly, with uncontrollable joy in her voice.

Mr. Xie rubbed his eyes and confirmed without a doubt that it was Qin. He was extremely excited and walked forward quickly.

Xie Lao Da and Xie Lao Er were also overjoyed to see their long-lost father, as if all the gloom had been swept away.

"I was planning to find Tianyi and try to rescue you from prison, but I didn't expect you to come out on your own."

Mr. Xie's words were full of relief.

The whole Xie family was filled with the joy of reunion, except for Xie Tianyi, whose expression was a little complicated and not very happy.

He turned to look at Mo Shiyu, who responded with an innocent and slightly provocative smile.

Seeing this, Xie Tianyi's prepared polite words almost turned into vulgar words.

"Master Xie, I heard that they were your mother and brother, so I decided to release them without authorization. After all, we cannot let our elders suffer in prison. I hope Master Xie will not blame me."

Mo Shiyu gently covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looking shy and innocent.

If Xie Tianyi were living in modern times, he would definitely secretly say some obscene words in his heart.

After discussing it with Chen Xi, he was about to rescue Qin.

After all, Mr. Xie has already knelt down, how embarrassing it is.

As for the evil-minded Xie Da Lao, Xie Er Lao, Jiang and Qin, it would not be excessive to keep them in custody for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, Mo Shiyu released them all without permission.

Chen Xi's residence had been occupied, and he was already filled with rage.

Now, Xie Tianyi wanted to take the opportunity to repair his relationship with Chen Xi at home, but unexpectedly Chen Xi treated him as coldly as a stranger, and his road to courtship became more and more bumpy.

On the other side, Mr. Xie and Qin's emotions gradually calmed down.

"It's good that you're out. Let's go home."

Mr. Xie said softly.

After seeing such a luxurious mansion, Qin and her son and daughter-in-law were not willing to leave easily.

"Oh, old man, I'm dizzy and my feet are rubbed raw."

Qin's acting was stiff and her intentions were obvious, but Xie Tianyi saw through her at a glance.

"Dad, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Xie Tianyi suggested.

"No, I can't move a step. I need to find a place to rest."

As Qin spoke, she kept stealing glances into the house, and her thoughts were obvious.

"Your two sons are still here, how can we let you faint here? Go to the clinic quickly, don't delay."

Xie Tianyi insisted.

Old Master Xie was in a dilemma, but when he heard Xie Tianyi mention the clinic, he thought it made sense.

"Big brother, second brother, help your mother get in the car and go to the clinic."

he ordered.

The Xie brothers were starving, their feet were raw, but they still had to force themselves to carry Qin on their backs.

"Why don't we take a carriage? You guys sit in the back, and Master Xie, please bear with me."

Mo Shiyu suggested, with a hint of cunning in her tone.

However, Xie Tianyi is not someone who would easily accept favors.

"No need to trouble you, miss."

He responded calmly, his tone revealing a sense of distance.
