Chapter 533 We Cannot Stand By

Suzhou, the Wang family.

"Sanlang! Quickly, have someone pack our bags, hire the best carriage, and take the two children to the capital to see our daughter! Hurry!"

“Ah Jiao, that man’s news may not be true. Our daughter is not only a hero in treating the plague, but she also solved the flood in Jizhou and even subdued Shu and Yunnan. His Majesty is overjoyed to have such a talented and fierce general! How could this be…”

Yang Yunjing's mind was in turmoil. Half a year ago, the emperor conferred the title of Princess on his daughter. Not only did he announce it to the world, but he also sent a flood of rewards to the Princess's residence. He entrusted his daughter with important responsibilities and appreciated her in every way. Not long ago, his daughter even quelled a rebellion in Shu.

Although they were far from the capital, they had at least done some business and kept a close eye on their daughter's news. Given how much the Emperor valued his daughter, how could he possibly change his attitude so easily?

"How could it not be? Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. My Huai family has been loyal and righteous for generations, but that dog emperor killed us whenever he wanted, and wiped out our entire family at will! My dear son-in-law, A-Fan is incredibly capable, outstanding, and ambitious, but she is still just a child. All these years, we have respected her wishes to venture out into the world. Now that her safety is at stake, regardless of whether what that person said is true or false, the presence of us elders by her side will give her more support!"

“Mother is right! Sanlang, the Imperial Prison is where death row inmates are held. How can our little Afan go to such a filthy place at such a young age? The imperial power is supreme. I know we are but lowly people, but I only want my daughter to be safe! Even if I die, I want to be with my daughter!”

Wang Zhixun was heartbroken, and tears were already streaming down her face.

When Afan left home at the age of eight, her mother worried about her every day. Although she knew that Afan was going to learn a skill, she still couldn't help but wonder if Afan was eating well, dressed warmly, and sleeping soundly.

Even now that she has two children, A-Fan's importance in her heart is unparalleled. She can't bear to say a harsh word to her daughter. How can she not hate that dog emperor who wants to execute her on another day!

Yang Yunjing hurriedly wiped away her tears, a pang of sadness rising in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't love his daughter; he's afraid that others will use false information to deceive them and then use them as hostages to threaten his daughter, putting her in a difficult situation!

"Alright, alright! I'll have someone prepare right away. Jintian and Jin'en, guard your mother well. Father will hire a carriage, and we'll head to the capital to find our elder sister!"

The two toddlers, who were just learning to speak, didn't know why their mother was crying. They only knew that their mother was very sad, so they sobbed along with her, which made Huaiying feel a pang of heartache.

"Remember to send a message to your parents. If they are willing, we can go to the capital together to see A-Fan."

"Alright, Mother!"

The Wang family was bustling with activity. Upon hearing the news, Zhao quickly grabbed the wooden box and rushed over to Huaiying with An'an.

"Madam, the journey to the capital is long. Are you sure you can handle it? I have some dowry and savings here. Please take them with you. They might be helpful on the way."

Zhao put down the wooden box, but Huaiying stopped her: "I am going to the capital to seek justice for my granddaughter. I will make thorough preparations. How can I use your things? Zhao'er is of marriageable age. As her mother, you will have to worry about her. Keep the money safe. Although the Wang family has treated you well, there will be many places where you will need money in the future."

"Grandmother, An'an also wants to go and support her sister!"

The little baby rushed into Huaiying's arms. She knew everything. Her cousin had gone to the capital to share the emperor's burdens and had made many merits. Yet the emperor still wanted to execute her!

The Emperor is the biggest villain!
Touching the little girl's fluffy head, Huaiying's worried face finally broke into a smile.

“An’an, you’re leaving with your grandmother. What will happen to your mother? After we leave, your brother will take over the entire Wang family business. Your mother will have to manage such a large family all by herself. The Wang family needs someone to oversee things. Can An’an bear to let her mother suffer alone?” The little boy fell silent. After his father died, his brother studied diligently with his uncle’s father, working tirelessly every day, leaving early and returning late. His grandmother also valued and trusted him more and more, and he simply didn’t have any extra time to spend with his mother.

After her foot healed, her mother became much more cheerful. Her grandmother tacitly approved of her being with Uncle Mo, and they lived a fairly good life. However, the Wang family was a respectable family, and she was still officially the wife of the second branch of the Wang family. It was impossible for them to be together openly. Most of the time, her mother stayed in her room by herself, feeling bored.

“Yes! An’an will stay and help Mother. If Grandmother sees Cousin, please remember to tell her that I miss her, I miss her so much! An’an has also prepared a gift for Cousin.”

It's an exquisite and adorable tiger pillow, a birthday gift that Zhao embroidered by hand for her this year. The little one treasures it dearly, and she can't bear to look at it for long, so she specially chose a box to store it.

It turns out it was meant for her older cousin.

"Okay, Grandma will definitely help An'an deliver the gift. My cousin will be so happy if she knows it's from An'an!"

After several hours of busy work, the family finally boarded the carriage bound for the capital, followed by several dark figures.

South Town, Wanzhai.

"Son, listen to your parents and eat something! You've been staying in your room all day, and your parents are worried about you."

"Yes, Maotang, your parents know you're upset, but dreams aren't reality. What if that young doctor is alright? Wouldn't we have made a wasted trip?"

The nine-year-old boy, who had been meditating with his eyes closed in the room, opened them. His eyes were clear and calm. He had never had a wrong dream since he was a child. This time, he dreamed that his older sister was suffering in prison. He had dreamed of the same scene for several nights in a row.

There can't be any mistake!
"Father, Mother, I still want to go to the capital. Even if I can't help her much, at least someone will speak up for her!"

The elderly couple looked at each other, and seeing that they couldn't persuade them, they sighed silently.

When the child was one and a half years old, he suddenly became intelligent and could foresee the future. At first, it was related to his relatives, but later the scope expanded and more and more people came to him for help. He could also accurately dream about things related to the people who asked for help. He was called a "prodigy" by the towns within dozens of miles.

Later, he was taken in as a disciple by an old Taoist priest at a Taoist temple, who allowed him to visit his parents often. Now, he has made a special trip back to beg his parents to take him to the capital to plead for the young doctor who had once treated him.

They remembered that the young doctor was indeed skilled in medicine, but wasn't she the apprentice of Doctor Gu from Guxi Village?
What is his relationship with the eldest princess of the capital?
Moreover, the Gu family moved away seven years ago. One was a country doctor, and the other was a princess who was capable of governing the country and suppressing rebellions. It seemed that there was no connection between the two.

“My son, even if the young doctor really is the princess, she was only imprisoned in the imperial prison because she offended the emperor. If we go to seek justice for her, wouldn’t that be going against the emperor? Our whole family shares the same fate, good or bad. We can accept either outcome, but what if it implicates our clan? Wouldn’t that be a sin?”

"Father, she is the one who saved my mother and me!"

"Father knows."

"Our savior is in trouble, we can't stand idly by!"

"……it is good."

Dear friends, four thousand today!
