Seeing Wu Ming had more bleeding wounds on his body, Zhou suddenly stopped caring about anything else.

"What are you doing? Just because you're an official you can kill people without any scruples!"

Wu Yong pulled her, but Zhou slapped him in the face.

"Didn't you see your father was stabbed by them? You are here to speak up for your father, and you actually stopped me!"

Wu Yong was slapped hard and got angry.

"I help him? Can't you see that he wants to run away? He doesn't want us anymore, why should I help him!"

Zhou was stunned by what he said. She looked at Wu Ming in disbelief. Wei Hu walked forward.

"Isn't that where you moved Jiang Lin's body?"

Wu Ming looked up at Wei Hu and said calmly

"The matter has come to an end. If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

Zhou walked up to Wu Ming and slapped him several times. Wu Ming's face instantly turned red and swelled up slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wu Ming, how dare you abandon us mother and daughter! How have I, Zhou Li Niang, ever done anything wrong to you! Yong'er is your biological son, yet you actually used us to pave the way for you! Are you still human?"

Wu Ming looked at Zhou with an indifferent expression, but said nothing, as if Zhou was just a clown.

Zhou was furious and slapped him several times.

"say!"

Li Si looked at them and said jokingly

"It really is true that husband and wife are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

The young yamen runner beside him said

"Fourth brother, what do you think he wants? According to our Dongchen laws, if a person escapes privately, his family members will be executed on the spot. His portrait will also be distributed to various prefectures, counties and towns. Even if he can escape for a while, he can't escape forever.

He was so scared being alone, and I don't know why he was running."

The young yamen runner's voice was quite loud and everyone around could hear it clearly. Wu Ming opened his mouth in surprise and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Zhou, who was so angry, slapped him hard several times.

Wu Yong on the side smiled bitterly and said

"Who said he was alone?"

When Wu Ming heard him say this, his expression finally changed.

Zhou looked at him in disbelief.

"Yong'er, what do you mean?"

Wu Yong looked at his mother and lowered his head in shame.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Wei Hu walked up to Wu Yong

"What did you mean just now? Is there anyone else besides your Wu family?"

Wu Ming struggled to get up

"Yong'er, you...you..."

Wu Yong didn't even look at him.

"The third house from the entrance of Qingyi Lane in the capital is the one that Wu Ming arranged to live with. The concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter for Wu Ming. The son should be twelve years old now, and the daughter should be six years old. Wu Ming was afraid of being discovered, so the household registration of the three of them fell into the hands of a distant relative of the Wu family who no longer existed."

Wei Hu saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he asked

"Why didn't you tell me when you were exiled?"

Wu Yong said after a long time

"I also found out about it accidentally last year. He has always been controlled by my mother at home. My mother also made him a laughing stock in the capital. In my eyes, he had no choice but to have a mistress.

He didn't bring anyone into the house, which was the greatest respect he gave to my mother and me.

But I know that I am useless and cannot live up to his expectations. I heard that my half-brother is very smart and has good academic performance, and he is a completely different person to me.

At that time, I thought that my Wu family must have a bloodline to pass on. If my half-brother becomes successful one day, he may be able to save us from suffering."

However, unexpectedly, the mother and daughter were never in Wu Ming's consideration. He had already decided to abandon them early on.

Wu Yong knew that his mother was strong and overbearing, but he had to admit that his mother's love for Wu Ming was always the same, and the two of them were everything to her.

They had been married for many years, and he was his biological son, yet he was still abandoned.

It’s really ridiculous when I think about it.

"Wu Ming tried every possible means to escape, just to reunite with the mother and her three children. Since this is the case, as a son, I'd better help him again."

Wu Ming pointed at him with trembling hands, and was about to say something when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wei Hu said to Li Si beside him

"Send a pigeon to the capital and ask them to verify it. If it is true, send someone to bring them here."

Li Si nodded and turned to write a letter.

Zhou was stunned. He rushed to Wu Ming, grabbed his collar and said loudly:

"Wu Ming, you are a treacherous beast!

What did you say at the beginning!

It was you who took the initiative to ask for marriage, and it was you who promised never to take a concubine.

It’s not that I, Zhou Li Niang, cannot get married, but I have to rely on you!

Now you dislike me for being aggressive and strong, but when your Wu family was bullied, it was me who supported this family!

If I wasn't there, you could be at ease and be the quiet and non-competitive Lord Wu!"

Zhou beat Wu Ming desperately, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment and grievances he had accumulated over the past few decades.

Wu Ming let Zhou fight him without fighting back. After a long while, he sighed and muttered to himself:

"It is precisely because I knew this that I never thought of bringing them into the mansion."

He just wanted someone to inherit his legacy. He was proud of his talent and ability. He didn't want the Wu family to fall into ruin under his hands. Otherwise, why would he...

Alas... It's useless to talk about it now. When he was running away, he indeed didn't think about the fate of the mother and daughter.

Fathers and sons are alienated, wives and children are separated, one wrong step leads to all wrong.

Wei Hu ignored their family affairs and just had someone handcuff and shackle Wu Ming.

As for his injury, he did not mention it himself, so no one treated him.

In order to prevent other exiled prisoners from following suit, all of them, except for the Lu family, were handcuffed and shackled.

They were very angry about this, but there was nothing they could do.

For this reason, he often said some sarcastic words to put pressure on Wu Ming.

Yuzhu leaned against Jiang Sheng and whispered

"Miss, I suddenly feel that this Zhou seems a bit pitiful."

Jiang Sheng sighed softly

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people. There is nothing wrong with devoting yourself to your family, but it is too extreme and you are using the wrong method."

After dealing with Jiang Lin’s body, Wei Hu let his men continue on their journey.

Now that the weather was good, they were already halfway there, and Wei Hu was no longer urging them to hurry up like before.

Everyone seemed to be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The food quality of the Lu family has improved again. Before making lunch that day, Jiang Sheng went for a walk in the woods and brought out four wild rabbits and two pheasants.

This good luck makes others envious and jealous.

Except for the ones for Wei Hu and the others, she stewed all the rest.

She kept enough for her own family and distributed the rest to others. The Zhang and Sun families received the largest portions, and each of the other families received a small portion.

People who have received favors from others should be grateful for what they have received. Some small favors can prevent them from doing bad things in the future out of envy, jealousy and hatred.
