What Xia Yingying didn't know was that in the bushes behind their carriage, there was an old man who was dirty, with tattered clothes and many large chilblains on his hands and feet, secretly observing them.

Lu Ziren had already spotted the man, but he was not sure which faction the man hiding in the bushes belonged to, so he did not take action. Instead, he waited and watched.

After Jingjing, Lu Haojie and Xia Yingying got on the carriage one after another, Lu Ziren also got on.

The carriage was about to leave when Xia Yingying suddenly heard a voice coming from behind the carriage. The voice was very rough, as if the person had not had water for several days. It was very hoarse, as if all the strength had been drained away. Upon hearing such a voice, Xia Yingying subconsciously felt that it was unlucky.

But she didn't know who the person who called her was, so she asked Daqiang, who was driving the carriage, to go and take a look.

Just as Daqiang was about to jump off the carriage, a dirty and smelly old man immediately rushed in front of the carriage.

His hair was gray, but because of the stains and dirt, it had now become strands, and you couldn't tell what color his hair had originally been. He looked very unapproachable.

When this old man just appeared, many people standing in front of the Imperial College were very curious about the scene and started talking about it.

"Who is that old man? Why is he standing in front of Lu Haojie's carriage?" Student A asked in confusion.

"Maybe he's here to beg." Student B said after hesitating for a while.

"Who would come to beg in front of the Imperial College?" Student A asked in confusion.

"Yes." Student C agreed.

"The old man just now went directly towards Lu Haojie's family. Maybe the old man knew them." Student B explained.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lu Haojie must know that dirty old man. Have you heard about the rumors in Beijing?" Student A nodded as he spoke, as if he remembered something.

Although these kids didn't care about current affairs, they would have heard about the rumors in Beijing a few days ago, because they were so shocking. Especially since the protagonist in the story was the mother of their classmate.

"We have asked Lu Haojie before, didn't he say that his mother was the victim?" Student B said calmly again.

"Are you stupid? Whatever he says is what it is. Are you his follower?" C looked at B idiotically.

"We all know what kind of person Lu Haojie is during this period of time. I don't believe his mother would do such a thing." Student B immediately defended Lu Haojie.

"Hmph, I know you have spoken a few words to Lu Haojie, but you don't have to defend him like this. I don't care what kind of person Lu Haojie is. The main thing is to watch the show, and the show is about to begin." Students A and C said.

Daqiang frowned, looked the dirty old man up and down, and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you blocking our carriage? Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Who am I? I am your master's biological father. Where is Xia Yingying? Let Xia Yingying come to see me." The dirty old man threw back the dirty hair that covered his forehead and face, revealing a dirty, wrinkled face.

He was pale and thin, like a matchstick man.

In addition, I haven't paid attention to hygiene during this period, so the stains on my face can be rubbed into black dirt balls.

Especially when he opened his mouth, the smell plus the stench on his body made people want to vomit.

Daqiang couldn't help but hold his breath.

Finally, because he had been holding his breath for too long, he immediately covered his nose with his hands, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Yingying, Lu Ziren, Jingjing and Lu Haojie naturally heard the noise outside.

"Xia Xinsen? Didn't he go to the Sixth Prince's Mansion?" Xia Yingying was stunned when she heard the name, and then looked at Lu Ziren with confusion. This was different from the news Lu Ziren told her.

When Lu Ziren saw Xia Yingying looking at him, he immediately explained to her.

"Yingying, it's true. Xia Xinsen has really gone to the Sulfur Purple Palace. As for how he suddenly came here, I really don't know." Lu Ziren was afraid that Xia Yingying would misunderstand him.

After listening to Lu Ziren's explanation, Xia Yingying did not blame him.

"I guess he came here by hiding his tracks. It seems he has some skills."

Xia Yingying didn't want to face Xia Xinsen, nor did she want to go out and be laughed at. But if she ignored Xia Xinsen, others would think she was in the wrong, so she couldn't stand the confrontation and ran away, and the discussion behind her became even louder.

So Xia Yingying chose not to get off the carriage. It would be best if the problem could be solved in the carriage.

Xia Yingying sat in the carriage and said directly, "Don't talk nonsense. There is no relationship between us anymore. Don't try to be a relative here. I haven't held you accountable for spreading rumors about me in the capital a few days ago. What are you doing here now? To apologize?"

"Xia Yingying, you are an ungrateful bastard. I am your biological father. Look at the tone you use when talking to me. Aren't you afraid of being struck to death by the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning?"

Xia Xinsen originally wanted to ask Xia Yingying to give him some money to go back, but when he heard Xia Yingying's sarcastic tone, he was instantly irritated and even forgot the purpose of coming here in the first place.

Xia Xinsen had a very miserable life outside these days. Not only did he have to endure hunger, but he also had to endure the pain of being beaten for a long time by the beggars in the temple.

Thinking of this, Xia Xinsen's tears flowed down like crazy, but because his face was so dirty, the tears flowed down and directly formed two yellow lines on his face.

Some of the children watching were not very sensible. They only saw an old man crying heartbrokenly, and then they remembered the advice given to men at home not to cry easily, so they said to the crying old man, "Shame on you, you are so shameless, a man is crying in public."

Xia Xinsen didn't know that the children who went to school in this academy were either rich or noble, and when he saw the child saying that, he chased after him madly, wanting to grab the child and beat him up.

The child didn't expect Xia Xinsen to do this suddenly, and he didn't run away. He was just held in Xia Xinsen's hand like a fool.

"Madam, the old man grabbed a young boy nearby and was about to beat him." Daqiang immediately told Xia Yingying about the situation outside.

When Xia Yingying heard this, she immediately opened the curtain and got off the carriage.

Seeing this, Lu Ziren raised a finger, and then a figure snatched the child that Xia Xinsen was holding. Xia Xinsen was pushed backwards due to inertia, rubbing his body against the floor. His clothes were already tattered, and the fabric on his buttocks was rubbed bare. His buttocks were even burning with pain, with only his buttocks exposed. He looked very funny.

The child was still in shock because he had just been caught by Xia Xinsen. When the secret guard put the child on the ground, he burst into tears.

After Xia Xinsen realized what was happening, he yelled even more crazily in front of the Imperial College gate, "Someone wants to kill someone, someone wants to kill someone, it's unjust..." "Please vote"
