The Zhang family had to suspend mourning for seven days, and the gongs were beaten all night long.

Xin Yi had no intention of keeping vigil for Zhang Xun, so she hid in the backyard tinkering with her medicinal materials when she returned home, waiting for Fu Jiuqu to fulfill his promise.

Compared with the villain's patience, she is not in a hurry.

She believed that no one would be indifferent to death.

Unexpectedly, the person she was waiting for was not Fu Jiuqu, but Lu Tiedan's mother, Mrs. Xiao Cao.

Mrs. Cao led a group of Lu family relatives into Zhang Xun's mourning hall early in the morning, smashed it like crazy, and cried for an explanation from the Zhang family.

They said that Tiedan was pushed into the ditch yesterday and knocked on the head by the children of the Zhang family. Now he is unconscious and wants to kill the two little beasts of the Zhang family.

The first and second thoughts were pulled out by Mrs. Liu and they knelt on the cold mud floor in the courtyard. The third thought was held by the aunt Gong, crying.

Mrs. Liu put her hands on her hips and cursed in front of the Lu family.

"Tell me, was it your shameless stepmother who ordered you to push the iron egg into the water?"

Yi Nian straightened his back and remained silent, his little face full of stubbornness.

Er Nian shouted: "No. Tiedan hit people first. Tiedan called us wild children. He called us father and mother!"

"Little beast." Mrs. Liu stepped forward and slapped the child, "I told you to be tough and you still don't tell the truth? Who instigated it?"

Er Nian stroked his painful little face, raised his neck stubbornly and shouted:

"What I told is the truth! I just bullied others, and I did nothing wrong!"

Sannian cried loudly and whispered for her brother.

"Brother is not wrong. My head was broken by the iron egg."

Mrs. Liu's face was distorted with anger, and she cursed in a high-pitched voice.

"You brat, you are defending the bitch. Have you forgotten who caused your father to die outside? If you don't tell the truth, are you going to die for Tiedan? I'll call the officials to arrest you later..."

Suddenly he raised his head and said, "Just scream! I'm going to find Uncle Fu..."

The child got up and was about to run away, but Mrs. Liu grabbed him back and pushed him to the ground, "Little beast, I've rebelled against you. I won't tolerate your presumption in front of grandma..."

Xin Yi was so noisy early in the morning that his brain hurt. When he woke up and heard these words, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Mrs. Liu wanted her child to identify her as the instigator, and then push her out to be punished. Killing someone with a borrowed knife would kill two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, the three children would risk their lives to protect her.

"What are you making all the noise about?" Xin Yi opened the door with a bang, his eyes coldly swept across the noisy crowd in the yard, looking at the first and second thoughts.

"stand up!"

The two children did not move.

Xin Yi lowered his face, walked over, grabbed their collars, and lifted them up, "I won't let you kneel down from now on, and no one is allowed to kneel down."

The little mouths of Yi Nian and Er Nian trembled, but they did not cry.

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"One person does the work and the other takes the responsibility."

"I pushed him."

"I will pay with my life for him!"

The two little guys each said one sentence, and they spoke quite eloquently.

Xin Yi saw that they were so scared but refused to testify against her, and became inexplicably cruel.

It seems that if the tiger doesn’t show off its power, these “paper figures” don’t know who is God——

"Mrs. Xiao Cao, right?" Xin Yi locked his eyes on Tiedan's mother and smiled warmly: "The son of a bitch commits crimes, is domineering, and speaks evil words at a young age. If Tiedan is what he is today, don't blame others, just blame her.

I was born in the wrong child to have a mother like you."

Mrs. Cao was so angry that she roared hysterically.

"Thief woman, you must have pushed my son into the water. How could Zhang Yinian and Zhang Ernian, such young children, push him? It was you, the one who harmed my son!"

"Ms. Cao, stop talking nonsense with her. Ever since this thief married, the village has never had a peaceful life. Aunt Liu is right, she is a water ghost. Catch her and burn her to death."

"Burn her, burn her."

"Cook it all with a fire——"

Groups are the most easily incited.

One person shouted, and ten people responded. The crowd was excited for a while, and they were all gearing up to come and take someone away.

Xin Yi sneered, "Burn me to death? It seems you don't want Tiedan's life anymore."

Mrs. Cao's angry face calmed down slightly.

"What did you say?"

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "No one can save your son except me."

Before Mrs. Cao could speak, those relatives in the yard who were worried about the chaos in the world started shouting.

"Mrs. Cao, don't listen to her nonsense. How can a vulgar woman know how to treat patients and save people if she doesn't even know a few Chinese characters?"

"Didn't Tiedan's father invite Langzhong Cui? Is she more powerful than Langzhong Cui?"

"The thief woman has no good intentions."

The yard was very noisy.

Mrs. Cao was dizzy. Seeing that Xin Yi was wearing filial piety, her face was as white as skin and bones, but she did not show any cowardice in the siege. She looked calm and indifferent, and gradually became a little shaken.

She came from the Xiao Cao Mansion. Although she was a concubine in the family, she had seen a lot of things in the world. Especially when she thought about Xin Yi eating pig sow ears, she didn't dare to gamble with her child's life.

"Okay. Let me see what you are capable of. If my son cannot be cured, I will not only ask you to pay for the burial, but also your whole family!"

The woman said harsh words and turned away.

The relatives who came with him did not expect such a result, and followed him out cursing.

When Mrs. Liu saw this, her face turned green with anger.

"You little thief gets into trouble, but don't bring trouble to the Zhang family. What disease can you cure? I still don't know how much you weigh? Let me tell you, you won't get a good result if you mess with the Cao family..."

"Are you annoyed?"

Xin Yi turned to look at Mrs. Liu with an angry look that didn't wake her up.

His eyes were cold, cruel and fierce.

Mrs. Liu wanted to go up and slap her, but her palms were itchy and her scalp went numb thinking of her strength.

In the end, he had no choice but to stare at him without admitting defeat, cursed and left.

Xin Yi squatted down and patted the mud on Yi Nian and Er Nian, "Go back to the house and don't pay attention to anyone. If anyone asks again, just say that I ordered you to push the iron egg into the water. Do you hear that?"

Second thought, look at it, first thought, "Why?"

Xin Yi poked his forehead with his finger.

"Where are there so many and why? Be obedient and go back."

Er Nian was about to say something, but was stopped by Yi Nian. Yi Nian shook his head, dragged his brother and sister, and went back to the room without saying a word.

Just as Xin Yi was about to follow him out, his sister-in-law Gong came slowly over, looked around, and said in a low voice:

"Don't take this matter on yourself. Mrs. Cao doesn't dare to do anything to the child's mistakes... After all, this is Sanlang's child. The Prince of Guangling County is taking care of him. At most, they can even curse them a few times and dare to beat them to death.

No? You will be different..."

Mr. Gong let out a sympathetic sigh.

"We are all people who have no family to rely on. We have no one to protect us. We are worse than pigs and dogs... Think more about yourself and don't force yourself to stand out..."

Speaking of this, Gong's voice lowered a bit.

"If you have the chance, just run away."

Gong is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Yan, the elder man, but other than the words "the sisters-in-law don't get along", Xin Yi doesn't understand the relationship between her and Mrs. Zhang.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xin Yi gave her a gentle smile.

"I am also someone I can rely on. Just take care of the child for me for a while."

…

Under the same sky, the eldest princess's mansion is very pure.

The eldest princess has a weak body and often goes to Taoist temples in the mountains to practice meditation. If she does not return to the mansion, there is only one master in the mansion - Fu Jiuqu, the prince of Guangling County.

Zhao Guan's family loves their only sister, and the eldest princess loves her only son. Therefore, in terms of high status, no one from the aristocratic family in Beijing can compare with Fu Jiuqu.

No, Master Jiu said he was ill at home today, and he closed the door and spent his free time writing and writing. No one dared to make irresponsible remarks.

Duan Sui hurriedly walked through the courtyard, walked past the waterside pavilion, and arrived at Qulin Pavilion.
