Nie Wushuang"s heart jumped “Yes, what"s wrong?”
The old lady glared at her for and asked hesitantly, “Does guniang‘s family have any business in there? In that case, I would send a letter but if it"s Nie"s family. I"m afraid I can"t help it."
Granny wanted to say nothing, Nie Wushuang"s heart leaps, her hoa.r.s.e voices asked. "What happened to Nie"s family?"
“Nothing, just lao shen heard some rumours. Right, who is guniang looking for?” The old woman didn"t want to go deeper, just asked.
Nie Wushuang hesitated for a moment and smiled reluctantly. “Then ask grandma to send me a letter. My aunt works in there. In fact, she"s only my relative at all.”
The old woman pulled out the crinkles paper and ink from the drawer at the bedside.
Nie Wushuang was still weak, she endured it, wrote a letter until finished. then took a piece of gold and handed it to her: “Please accept this as kindness.”
The old woman shook her head. “Lao shen dared not ask for guniang‘s things. I just sent a letter. Guniang still keeps money herself for nourish her body. Tomorrow I"ll deliver it. It"s late today. Let"s go about tomorrow morning.”
Nie Wushuang was so touched that she could only nod, half anxious and half peacefully sleeping.

The next morning, the old woman took a letter from Nie Wushuang and went out. After a day and a night of rest, Nie Wushuang has recovered some strength, but she had lost too much blood and still dizzy.
The old woman went out for an hour, suddenly ran back in a panting breath. When she entered the door, she yelled: “Bad news! guniang, disastrous issue! the emperor edited that he would confiscate from Nie"s family! Confiscated all the properties of Nie"s Clan!”
Nie Wushuang was drinking water. As soon as she heard it, the bowl in her hand “banged” down and shattered on the ground.
The old woman quickly opened the door and came in. Before she could sit down, she patted her breast. “Guniang, I just went to the east of the city and saw a large group of officers and soldiers rushing fiercely. When lao shen walked until less than one hundred zhang (19) His Excellency Nie"s house, lao shen saw the officers and soldiers surrounded His Excellency Nie"s house and grabbed people one by one… Oh my! what"s wrong with you, guniang?
Before she finished, she saw Nie Wushuang covering her chest and fainted. She was busily squeezed her hands and legs, filling her mouth with water. For a long time, Nie Wushuang woke up weary, her clear eyes full of pain and aimless.
“How could it be, how could it be like this…” She muttered, and suddenly got out of bed like a mad man and rushed out the door. “Father! I don"t believe it, I don"t believe it!…”
The old woman was shocked by her, and she quickly grabbed her and hurriedly said, “Guniang, what are you doing, you just miscarriage, clothes are not worn, shoes are not worn, what are you doing? Where are you going…”
Nie Wushuang cried and struggled harder but the old woman"s strength was stronger. She pulled her to sit on the bed. Looking at her crazy state like understood something.
"Guniang, What about your relationship with His Excellency?"
Nie Wushuang"s heart was chaotic, and Shen Rumei"s words echoed in her brain. Word by word, she felt pain like a bone-digging to the core.
She howled and wailed, “He"s my dad! I am Nie Wushuang! Gu Qinghong, how can you be so heartless like this!"
