Xiao Yu said goodbye to the prince and Lu Yan and hurried to the place where the exiled criminals lived.

The prisoners all lived in a large courtyard, with two soldiers guarding the door. Xiao Yu first saluted the two and said, "Hello, brothers. I am from the Northern Frontier Army. Lord Lu asked me to follow our team to the Northern Frontier Army's base this time."

The two soldiers greeted Xiao Yu and thought he looked familiar. Before they could ask, Xiao Yu said, "Could you please call the former Minister of Personnel's family for me?"

The two then remembered that Xiao Yu looked very similar to the wife of the former Minister of Personnel. They thought that they were probably related, and it was common to want to help someone in trouble. The two agreed quickly, and one of them went into the courtyard to call someone for him.

Not long ago, the Shangshu's wife, Qi, came out with her youngest son. Qi was still wondering how someone in Liaozhou could know them, but when she saw Xiao Yu standing at the door, she was stunned.

Xiao Yu was also a little stunned. He had heard that he and the Shangshu's wife looked alike, but he didn't expect them to be so similar.

Xiao Yu came back to his senses and greeted Qi: "My name is Yu Shi, you can just call me Xiao Yu. I am affiliated with the Northern Frontier Army. This time I will go to the Northern Frontier Army base with you. If you need any help, Madam, just come to me directly."

Qi felt like she had lost her mind since she met him. Blood connection is a very wonderful connection. Even if one has not seen each other for more than ten years, one will still feel a subtle sense of intimacy when they meet for the first time.

Qi didn't pay any attention to what he was saying. She just asked absentmindedly, "Kid, how old are you this year?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "When my adoptive father found me in the mountains twelve years ago, I was about four or five years old, so I am probably about sixteen or seventeen years old now."

Before Qi could say anything, her youngest son who was beside her spoke first: "Mom, isn't that about the same age as my eldest brother?"

Qi's heart was in turmoil, but she didn't show it on the surface. She continued to ask Yu Shi questions: "Good boy, you were picked up and raised by your adoptive father when you were four or five years old? Do you remember where you lived before you followed your adoptive father?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I don't remember anything before that. My earliest memory is living with my adoptive father."

Qi felt a little regretful. If Xiao Yu didn't remember the earlier events, then the investigation line from him would be broken. But Yu Shi's identity must be suspicious. Qi thought about it and told her youngest son: "Go and call your father out."

This matter must be investigated thoroughly, and now she will see whether the master knows about this matter. Is he also in the dark, or is he colluding with others to deceive her.

The younger son quickly brought his father over. Qi kept observing his reaction. Fortunately, his reaction was normal, so he was temporarily ruled out as a suspect.

When the former Minister of Personnel, Lord Feng, saw Xiao Yu, he was so shocked that he stood there speechless.

Xiao Yu greeted him and broke the silence: "Hello, sir. My name is Yu Shi, you can just call me Xiao Yu."

"I am a criminal, not an official any more." Master Feng came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "My last name is Feng, Xiao Yu, if you don't mind, you can call me Master Feng."

Xiao Yu decisively agreed: "Master Feng."

Mr. Feng returned the greeting and asked the same question as Qi: "Child, how old are you this year?"

Xiao Yu then told Mr. Feng what he had told Mrs. Qi about his life story. After listening to it, Mr. Feng and Mrs. Qi looked at each other, and they both saw profound meaning in each other's eyes.

The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries. Xiaoyu came here to meet people and tell them that he would escort them to the exile place and help them rebuild their lives in the exile place. Xiaoyu had achieved his goal and was not going to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left.

Mr. Feng thought for a long time and said tactfully: "This Xiao Yu really looks like you. None of our two sons and one daughter looks more like you than him, especially the eldest."

Qi glanced at Master Feng and said calmly, "There must be something fishy about Xiao Yu's background. It seems that you just found out about it. As long as you are not colluding with others to deceive me, that's fine."

Master Feng smiled bitterly: "How could you think of me like that?"

Qi continued, "If Xiao Yu is really our child...you must find out the truth about this matter for me."

The youngest son standing nearby was completely confused and didn't understand anything, so he was dragged away by Qi. Mr. Feng stood there for a while and then left.

Lu Yan also took the prince to a brick kiln to show him how glass was made. She also gave him two convex lenses that the craftsmen had polished when they had nothing to do.

Lu Yan taught the prince the principle of the convex lens. After listening, the prince suddenly understood and slapped his thigh excitedly: "It has a magnifying effect. If the sentries in the barracks use it, they will be able to see more clearly."

When Lu Yan heard this, she was amazed. As expected of the prince, he quickly grasped how to use the telescope.

Before Lu Yan could reply, the prince held the lens in front of his eyes and gestured, "Can those with eye diseases who can't see clearly use this to help them see?"

Lu Yan applauded: "You are worthy of being the prince."

He even figured out how to use glasses.
