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

"Ouch, you kid is crazy, stop tormenting yourself!" Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xue Kong, but his eyes were hollow and he didn't listen to the advice at all. He still stubbornly knocked on the stone pillar.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened and she turned to look at Liu Yunxiang and the others, "Could it be that they have been possessed?"

At this time, someone came to Lao Jijiu and said that it was time for the lecture to begin, so Lao Jijiu took Qin Yan and his children there first.

"Let's take this child out and give it to the mother-in-law who takes care of him." Su Rumeng suggested.

This was all that could be done at the moment. Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao was strong enough to lift Xue Kong up.

Come outside and find the woman taking care of Xue Kong. But when Mrs. Xiao put him down, he continued to kowtow, and when he couldn't find the stone pillar, he knelt on the ground.

And bang bang, as if all the strength was used, with a decisive ruthlessness.

There was no other way, so Liu Yunxiang could only find a rope for Mrs. Xiao and ask her to tie Xue Kong up first.

Seeing that the person who was fine before going in was like this when he came out, the woman was anxious and panicked.

"My young master, what's going on?"

Mrs. Xiao told her mother-in-law what happened when she went in, and asked her, "Is there anyone in your family who can make the decision?"

The mother-in-law shook her head, "When our young master was driven out of the Duke's Mansion, he was originally accompanied by several mothers-in-law and boys. However, after the third master was taken into prison a few days ago, the Duke's Mansion took those mothers-in-law and the boys with him. The servants withdrew. Most of the remaining ones were old and useless. The servants were originally handymen in the outer courtyard. Since there was no one around the young master, they started to take care of him. There were no stewards in other courtyards, and the more people left, the more they left. The less we have, the rest will do their own thing and become a mess.”

Judging from the meaning behind these words, the Duke's Mansion probably didn't care about Xue Kong at all.

"This child must see a doctor in a situation like this." Mrs. Xiao frowned.

"Yes, to be honest with the ladies, we have trouble eating in other courtyards. How can we have money to treat the young master?" The old lady smacked her thigh in worry, "I shouldn't have come here in the first place. I also persuaded the young master. , but he insists on coming. And he shouldn’t go to the Imperial College again. Every day he comes back, he will definitely get new injuries. His clothes are either torn or dirty. He is only a child of that age and has not made any mistakes, so why bother? Torture him like this."

Hearing what the mother-in-law said, everyone present felt a little sad.

"Has he been in this situation before?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

The mother-in-law thought for a while and said: "In the past few days, the young master often wakes up crying in the middle of the night, shaking all over, as if he is frightened. He does not dare to cry loudly, and calls for mother while crying. I guess he was bullied in the Imperial College. The young master refuses to tell what exactly happened."

"Mother... mother..." Xue Kong finally stopped struggling now. He was probably tired. He lay on the ground shivering, his eyes still empty, and he called mother over and over in a low voice.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xiao blushed.

"Seventh Princess, please mind your own business and help this child meet his mother."

This matter is not difficult to handle, but is it really good for the mother and son to see each other and then separate?

But seeing Xue Kong like this, if he left it alone, the child might really be ruined.

"Okay, let's take him to Jingzhao Mansion now." Liu Yunxiang said.

When they arrived outside the jail in Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang first went to find Li Chong. After hearing the situation, Li Chong readily agreed, taking her face into consideration.

"Princess, I would like to remind you that Feng secretly conspired to murder her husband. This is a very serious crime according to Darong law. It is estimated that it will take ten years or more."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Ten years or more?"

Xue Kong is still so young, let alone ten years, he can't survive even one year.

Liu Yunxiang asked the woman to take Xue Kong in. She, Mrs. Xiao and Su Rumeng were waiting at the entrance of the cell door.

Not long after, heartbreaking cries came from inside.

"Oh my God! What to do with my son!"

"Someone come and save my son!"

"I was wrong I was wrong!"

This was Feng's cry, and the three of them felt uncomfortable hearing it.

"Is there no other way?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

"Still waiting for Xue Hefeng's investigation at Dali Temple. It will take at least three months to complete the case and sentence him. In Feng's case, it will take at least ten years."

"Ten years?" Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Then who will take care of this child? Is there anyone else in Feng's family?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I asked Mrs. Feng before, since the Duke's Palace does not want Xue Kong, why not let her parents take care of her first. Her father was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Xue Hefeng was able to enter the Ministry of Personnel after marrying her. Because of this, Her father thought highly of him, and his rank rose step by step. However, at this time, her father discovered that Xue Hefeng was using his official position for personal gain. After giving him a lesson, he recommended someone else to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Xue Hefeng held a grudge for this. Once, an official below was about to be demoted due to poor official performance. Xue Hefeng found him and conspired with him to frame Feng's father, accusing him of corruption. The official said he had noses and eyes, and when Dali Temple searched Feng Shangshu's mansion A box of banknotes was actually found, and the crime was confirmed. Feng Shangshu was stripped of his official position, and the former minister of the Ministry of Personnel was promoted to minister, while Xue Hefeng was promoted to minister. Not long after, the minister made a mistake and was dismissed. Xue Hefeng became the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. After Feng's father was demoted, he was so angry that he fell seriously ill and died soon after. The Feng family hated Xue Hefeng and had a grudge against Feng, and they did not allow her to return to her natal family. The Feng family didn't care about anything that happened to Feng this time, and their attitude has been very obvious."

The three of them didn't talk for long before the woman came out with Xue Kong on her back.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Xiao stepped forward and saw that Xue Kong had passed out.

"I haven't eaten well all day, and my body is already weak. I don't have the strength to cry, so I fainted." The old woman sighed.

"Hey, let's do this. You carry this child on your back and follow me, and I will take you to the doctor."

"Oh, thank you very much."

Mrs. Xiao led the mother-in-law and Xue Kong away. Su Rumeng went to pick up the three children. Liu Yunxiang thought for a long time and decided to go to Feng's house.

"You should know where your mother and brothers live, right?" Liu Yunxiang came to the cell and asked Feng.

Feng almost collapsed when she saw her son being tortured like that. Hearing this, she looked at Liu Yunxiang with red eyes for a long time, tears streaming down her face, and finally she had no choice but to speak.

"They won't help me take care of Kong'er."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"No, I can't cause them any more trouble."

"Or can you entrust your son to someone else?"

Feng shook her head, she had no one to trust.

"I will continue to deal with your case and try to reduce the sentence to a few years, but during this period, you must entrust your son to a trustworthy relative." Liu Yunxiang analyzed it for her calmly.

Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally shed tears and told where the Feng family lived.

"After my father passed away, my eldest brother and second brother also fell ill and died one after another. Their sons also had an accident. Now there are only my mother and two sisters-in-law at home. They are living a very difficult life. I wanted to take care of them before, but They refused and kicked me out.”

"Don't worry, if they refuse, I will not embarrass them."
