Duke Chen failed to save the person, and the old lady was very disappointed.

Chen Shoucheng was angry at the time, "Do you don't want to save him or can't save him? He was so injured that the yamen still watched him die?"

Yuan curled his lips and said, "The two people are just fighting, not very serious, and they are injured, why can't they be rescued? If they want to clear the money, the eldest brother said it was right. Mother would not be reluctant to pay the money. If the uncle thinks, he has to give you some money before he is willing to save it..."

"Shut up!" The old lady's face turned pale and she stared at Yuan.

Yuan had to shut up.

The old lady looked at Duke Chen and said earnestly: "Stay your career. Over the years, my mother has been in charge of the affairs of the Duke's Mansion for you. She has worked hard to manage the inside and outside. Except for the past two years in the South, she has devoted almost all her efforts to you. But how many times have my mother begged you over the years? You can calculate it with your fingers. This time Qi'er is not good at it, but after all, she is a member of our Chen family and your nephew. Now she is injured again. If she is not treated, no one knows what will happen. For your mother's sake, you will save him this time. When he comes back, I will definitely teach you strictly and never ask him to commit such a confused thing."

This is the old lady's trump card.

Every time in the past, it almost made Mr. Chen very moved.

But this time, he was indifferent.

I have heard too many illegitimate sons in the past two days, and his heart is numb.

If it were the past, he would have been heartbroken, but now he has been moved by his face, but he has no feeling in his heart.

"My son can't help him even if he wants to help him. When his son came in to see him, he was unwilling to vomit a word of truth, but there was someone's confession. If he didn't say it, how could he help him? How could he teach him to refute the other party's confession?"

When Yuan heard that he was interested in helping, he quickly said, "This child has always been spoiled. He is probably afraid of such a thing. Moreover, he was framed and must be angry. Brother, you can't be harsh when you talk to him. If you coax him, he will say everything."

Duke Chen was very disgusted with Yuan and said lightly: "My brother and sister, this is related to his future life, and he still needs to coax him? He is not a three-year-old child. He doesn't care about it himself, so why do you expect others to care?"

Yuan's face was long, "Although he is not a three-year-old child, he is not sensible. What's wrong with coaxing a few words? If the eldest brother is unwilling to coax, he will ask me to go in and I will coax him."

Duke Chen said lightly: "Okay, I will arrange for you tomorrow. He is very safe now. He lives in a stone house. A doctor has treated his injuries. He also said he would meet his grandmother. I will arrange for you to go over and have a look tomorrow."

Yuan said anxiously: "Will you wait until tomorrow? He must be afraid tonight..."

The old lady glanced at her faintly, "Can you go to the yamen again and again to disturb me in the middle of the night?"

Yuan muttered: "Qi'er has never been outside overnight."

"Why didn't he sleep in Hualiu, he didn't come back for many nights, don't you ask?" The old lady got angry when she said this. She didn't know about this at first, but Yuan knew that Yuan actually helped him hide it and deceive her.

Yuan knew that the old lady was in a bad mood today, so she didn't dare to do it again, so she stepped aside and lowered her head and silenced her voice.

Duke Chen also bowed out.

The night stars are colorful and the night wind is soft. It is a beautiful night, but Mr. Chen is in a very bad mood.

The third uncle of the junior high school walked with him and said, "It's still late, it's time to go back and rest."

"Go and see if Brother Hui is asleep." said Chen Guogong.

Chen Lianghui didn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep either.

For him, what happened tonight would be something he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Not to mention that he couldn't sleep tonight, he probably couldn't sleep for several nights.

He used to feel that as long as he did well enough, even if he could not get the likes of his grandmother and father like other brothers and sisters, he would never reject him anymore.

But he was completely awake tonight.

Sobering is painful, heart-wrenching.

It hurts because I once cared.

"Little Stone!" He sat up and called the servant beside him.

"Young Master, are you not asleep yet?" Xiao Shitou pushed the door and said in surprise.

"Pour saliva for me, I'm very thirsty!" Chen Lianghui looked a little stunned.

Xiao Shitou responded. He prepared tea to prevent him from getting up in the middle of the night to drink. He poured a cup and took it to the bed, "Young Master, don't think about it. You have to report to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow. Tomorrow is your big event."

"Little Shitou, where is your mother?" Chen Lianghui drank a glass of water in big mouthfuls. The water was already cold. After drinking it, it made him feel hot and irritable all over his body, as if he drove away some of it.

"The villain's mother is dead." Xiao Shitou said, "The father later married his stepmother and then turned the little girl into the slightest mother.

The man sold it to the hands of the manzi, and finally turned around and entered the Duke's Mansion."

"It seems that the stepmothers in the world are not good people!" Chen Lianghui sighed.

Xiao Shitou shook his head, "No, the stepmother of the villain is a good person. Xiao Shitou was sick when he was a child. He was the stepmother who took care of the villain and made porridge for the villain. She would leave it to the villain if there was something delicious."

"But she sold you." Chen Lianghui said.

Xiao Shitou smiled, "This is what a villain means. When my stepmother is sick, she will die if she doesn't have any money to get medicine. So the villain secretly asked the third brother next door to introduce the man to the son. After selling three taels of silver, my mother was cured later."

Chen Lianghui looked at his eyebrows and said that his stepmother was filled with happiness. It can be seen that the stepmother was really good to him. This kind of goodness even made him sell himself to someone else as a slave to save his stepmother.

"Then how is your stepmother now?" Chen Lianghui asked.

"I moved to Beijing with my dad. My dad worked odd jobs at the wharf. My mom was washing clothes for people, and the villain went back to see them once a month." Xiao Shitou said with a smile.

The servants and girls in the mansion have one day off every month, and they can go out to the mansion to have fun on this day.

"Then you won't see them in the past two years after I went to the South?"

Xiao Shitou shook his head and said, "No, when they were in the South, they also followed them to the South. My mother said that she would take her father wherever the villain went."

Chen Lianghui felt very sad when he heard this, and also felt that Xiao Shitou was very happy.

He grabbed Xiao Shitou's hand and said, "I'm sorry for you."

Xiao Shitou grinned, "Don't feel wronged, this is the villain's own choice."

Chen Lianghui secretly wrote down that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely promote him, and good people should be rewarded.

"The eldest son hasn't rest yet?" Uncle Junior High School appeared at the door and asked.

When Chen Lianghui saw the third uncle in, he quickly handed the teacup to Xiao Shitou and put his shoes on, "Uncle Three, it's so late..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the Duke appear behind his third uncle.
