After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The 'young master' in Xiaolian's mouth is Xue Kong. Because of helping him, her son was framed and dropped out of the Imperial College. This matter is very harmful to the child, so to be honest, she doesn't want to care about it.

"No matter what help you want to ask me for, you are asking the wrong person." Liu Yunxiang said.

Xiaolian hurriedly kowtowed again, "Princess, I have no choice but to beg you. My young master was driven to another courtyard by the Duke's Palace, but the gang in the other courtyard were ruthless. Knowing that the young master did not have the protection of his mother, they treated him harshly. , without enough food and clothing. This slave wanted to go back to the house and ask the old lady to help the young master, but the second lady stopped him, and casually found out a mistake in the slave, and sold the slave. "

As soon as Xiaolian finished speaking, she saw a few people coming to the street. She was so frightened that she quickly hid in the alley.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw several men, all wearing blue robes, looking like someone's nursing home. They looked around with ruthless expressions on their faces, as if they were looking for someone.

"That little bitch dared to sneak away. It seems that the beating she received was not enough!"

"I asked her to pick up a guest last night, but she didn't serve the guest well, and she even asked the steward to pay for her with a lot of nice words. The steward said that when she is caught, she will be beaten hard. She is a low-ranking woman anyway. If she is beaten to death, she will be thrown into a mass grave."

"Damn it, I obviously saw him running this way, let's look for him separately."

The people searched separately. After everyone left, Xiaolian shrank out of the alley. She wanted to kneel down, but the quilt pulled her arm, but this time it touched her wound, causing Xiaolian to gasp several times in pain.

Zi Jin rolled up her sleeves and saw several blood marks on her arms, as if they were whipped by a whip.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Where did they sell you?"

Xiaolian lowered her head and pulled her clothes, "Flower Street."

When Zi Jin heard this, he couldn't help but cursed: "These are bastards!"

If a maid makes a mistake, she will be sold only if it is really serious, but generally she will not be sold to that kind of place. Especially for an aristocratic family like Duke Yang's Mansion, they want to be decent, do good deeds, and have continuous blessings, but the second lady's behavior is somewhat out of personal hatred.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Liu Yunxiang asked with a sigh.

When Xiaolian heard this, she quickly took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, "I only ask the princess to send this letter to my wife. I am afraid that I will not survive and will no longer be able to take care of the young master." The letter said After explaining the situation of the young master, I know that my wife is in jail and there is nothing I can do, but I can only tell her to ask her to find a way, because I have failed her."

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and let Zijin take the letter. Xiaolian said this, indicating that she was ready to die.

"Ms. Feng must be very good to you, otherwise you wouldn't be so dedicated."

"Madam is very kind to this slave. She is useless and can no longer take care of the young master."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, then turned to Zijin and said, "Take her to Zhang Qi, ask Zhang Qi to go to Huajie to redeem her life, and then let her go free."

Zijin nodded, "I understand."

When Xiaolian heard this, she really couldn't believe it, "Princess..."

"It's just a piece of cake for me, princess, so you don't have to worry too much."

Zijin took the maid to Zhang Qi's place. Liu Yunxiang looked at the letter in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Halfway through, it suddenly started raining, so Liu Yunxiang bought an umbrella.

When she arrived at the prison, the rain was already pouring heavily. Under the boiling rain and mist, she saw a child standing in the rain. There was no one around him, he was the only one, facing the direction of the door of the prison.

Liu Yunxiang came closer and saw the child's face clearly through the rain curtain. It was Xue Kong. He was wailing, but the sound of rain covered his cry and disrupted his tears. He stood there helplessly, staring at the prison.

At this time, a woman and a man came over. The woman was caught in the rain and her face was full of anger. She stepped forward and slapped Xue Kong first, and then pushed him to the man. The man was also angry and twisted Xue Kong's arm hard, then picked him up and turned around to walk back.

Xue Kong struggled and couldn't break free, so he stretched out his hand and shouted loudly: "Mother! Mother, save me!"

These two people should be servants of the Duke's Mansion. If they dare to attack Xue Kong, they obviously do not regard him as their master.

Liu Yunxiang sighed and walked towards the prison door.

She had given Feng a chance. As long as she told the truth about Xiao Wu's murder, she would help her. She kept waiting for her to speak, but when spring came and the execution was about to take place, she still gritted her teeth.

Sometimes she thought, maybe she really killed Xiao Wu, otherwise why wouldn't she say anything even to death.

Arriving at the death row, where a female prisoner was held, the warden took her to Feng's cell. It was too dark inside and no one could be seen. The prison guard patted the cell door, and a disheveled man came out.

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand and asked the prison guard to guard outside. Feng kept her head lowered, her hair covering her face. Perhaps she had no strength, so she sat down against the wall.

"Seventh Princess, in half a month, I will be taken to Caishikou to be beheaded. Why don't you give up?"

Her voice is very low and hoarse, you can only hear it clearly if you listen carefully.

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "I have given up. I admit you killed Xiao Wu."

"Then why are you still here?"

"I'm here to ask you about the crime of not educating your adopted son."

When Feng heard this, she slowly raised her head, revealing a thin face, "What do you mean by this?"

Liu Yunxiang recounted what happened in the Imperial College two days ago, and then said: "Three children saved your son's life, but your son refused to prove his innocence for them. I know your son came here because he was afraid. Let me ask you, should this debt be borne by you?"

After hearing that her son was pushed into the pond and almost died, Feng was about to collapse.

"Kong'er...who harmed my Kong'er..."

Liu Yunxiang said calmly: "The son of Marquis Yun and the second eldest son of Duke Yang's Mansion are named Xue Meng."

Feng raised her head suddenly, "How could it be possible? He is Kong'er's cousin..."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "It seems that you don't know yet. Since you entered the prison, the Yangguo Palace felt that it had lost face, so it drove your son to another courtyard. And the slaves in the other courtyard bullied your son because he had no support. He, your maid wanted to seek justice from the Duke's government, but she was sold to Flower Street. Your son had neither enough food nor clothing, and was bullied in school because his mother was a murderer. The Xue family did not recognize her at all. "

Seeing that Feng was extremely anxious, Liu Yunxiang added another sentence: "What your son suffered today is all because of you!"

After hearing this, Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

"No, Kong'er is also a child of their Xue family, and they won't treat him like this."

Liu Yunxiang took out the letter from his arms and threw it to Feng: "Your maid Xiaolian asked me to give this to you. If you don't believe me, you shouldn't disbelieve her."
