Man Bao seemed to feel his kindness. The most important thing was that she remembered the longevity lock hanging around her neck. She took two steps forward, looked at Xia Xia carefully and said, "My mother, Mrs. Xia, is very pleased."

Xia Xia grabbed her hand, looked at her carefully again, and finally focused on her eyes. He nodded affirmatively, "Okay, okay, okay."

He remembered something, looked behind her, frowned and said, "Where are your parents?"

Man Bao paused and said, "My father and mother passed away fourteen years ago."

Although Xia Xia had already made a guess, he still couldn't help but cry when he heard it: "I knew it, I knew it, Xin Niang's child is so filial, and Zhou Yin is not a person who doesn't keep his promises, how could he suddenly

Whether he’s going back or not, he clearly agreed to settle down and write back with the address, and he’ll come back often to pay homage to his ancestors…”

"But I didn't expect that they left fourteen years ago. Didn't they just leave soon..."

Man Bao didn't speak for a while.

After Xia Xia finished crying and wiped away his tears, he squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "Who are these two?"

Man Bao quickly introduced: "These two are my junior brothers."

After a pause, she introduced Bai Shan emphatically, "He is still my fiancé."

Xia Xia was surprised and asked quickly: "Since your parents are dead, who raised you? Who made this marriage for you?"

Man Bao glanced at the other two old people standing aside and smiled: "I was still young when my parents died. Due to some accidents, I couldn't even tell anyone about their deaths, so I was raised by my uncle and aunt.

Yes, I didn’t know about my background until two years ago.”

Man Bao briefly talked about Zhou Yin and his wife's involvement in the King of Yizhou, and by the way mentioned that her father has now been posthumously named Mianzhou Mu.

At that time, after the incident was exposed, because her household registration was with the Zhou family in Qili Village, and her father also recorded the household registration in Luojiang County, no one knew that Zhou Yin was married into the family except the emperor, the prince, and Wei Zhi who had conducted detailed investigations.

.

Moreover, the Xia family no longer had any direct relatives, and the incident happened in Mianzhou and Yizhou, so the reward went directly to the Zhou family.

Except for the people in Qili Village, no one knew that Zhou Yin was a bride-in-law, and few people knew that Zhou Man's mother's family was in Shangzhou.

As for Shangzhou, not to mention the common people, even the officials only knew about this one thing. Who bothered to find out who the Xia family was after Zhou Yin?

So Xia Xia knew nothing about it, but he knew about the rebellion of King Yizhou. When the incident came out, everyone was secretly worried that there would be another war.

After all, Shangzhou was sandwiched between Beijing and Yizhou. If the king of Yizhou wanted to attack the capital, he would probably pass through Shangzhou.

He just didn't expect that this matter would be related to Zhou Yin and his wife.

Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu, who came with Xia Xia, focused on Zhou Man's last sentence, "Now I am working as an imperial physician in the palace."

Mr. Du couldn't help but interjected and asked, "It is rumored that there is a little miracle doctor in the capital. She is a woman. She works as a female official in the palace. Could it be a little lady?"

Man Bao naturally couldn't admit that he was the little miracle doctor, so Bai Shan nodded and said, "That's her."

Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound. They became more enthusiastic and said to Xia Xia one after another: "If Mr. Xia knows something, he can rest in peace."

Man Bao immediately asked: "I wonder if my mother has any relatives here. What did my parents say when they left?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a government official came in and reported: "Sir, Xia Yi has brought you here."

Magistrate Zhai asked, "Why did it take so long?"

Even Xia Xia, who was seriously ill, came, why was Xia Yi so slow?

The yamen officer glanced at Chief Xu and said, "Xia Yi is not at home. The younger one found him at Chief Xu's house."

So it took a little effort to go back and forth.

Magistrate Zhai also glanced at Xu Lizhang, smiled, and then asked someone to lead Xia Yi in.

Xia Yi was a little confused and a little nervous when he came in. When he saw so many people standing in the lobby, he felt even more uneasy.

He was called back from the shop by the village chief's family. As a result, he stared at the village chief's house for a long time but no one came back. Instead, he was brought by the yamen who came to the door.

Unlike Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu who are very old and have some prestige and are occasionally invited to the county government to discuss matters, he is just a very ordinary and ordinary citizen. In the past thirty years, the number of times he has entered the county government can be counted with one slap.

There are many.

So he was a little uneasy. He stepped forward in a restrained manner, knelt down to salute the county magistrate first, and then looked at the others tremblingly, mainly at Xu Lichang, hoping that he could give some hints.

Xu Lichang didn't even look at him, as if he didn't know him.

Magistrate Zhai asked Zhou Man to take a seat. Then he sat down and leaned against Xia Xia on the wicker chair and said with a smile: "Master Xia, Master Zhou is not just an imperial physician, she is also the editor of Chongwen Guan."

The people present, including Chief Xu, didn't know how old the official was, but it sounded like he was very powerful. He should at least be older than Magistrate Zhai, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for Zhou Man to sit down before sitting down.

So after hearing this, Xia Xia had a look of relief on his face and was so happy that he was speechless.

Magistrate Zhai then asked Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu to sit down. Of course, Xu Lichang was not left out, so among the people in the room, only Xia Yi, who had just gotten up from the ground, was still standing.

Magistrate Zhai had no intention of inviting him to sit down, and said directly: "Since everyone is here, let's get started."

He is not stupid, and has roughly guessed what is going on. Although it is not uncommon for an only daughter to have a wife, it is also rare.

He could figure out the entanglements behind this with his toes, and now that Zhou Man's property was in the hands of others, there were probably a lot of things involved.

Even when Zhou Yin and his wife left Shangzhou fourteen years ago, there might have been some internal disputes, but now is not the time to talk about those events.

Although he was very curious, as a county magistrate, the most important thing was to ensure peace in his administration.

Therefore, he said: "Both the two old men from this county and Songhua Lane are here. Not only can they clear Mr. Zhou's doubts, but they can also mediate for you. Otherwise, it will not look good in court."

Zhou Man nodded in agreement and said to Magistrate Zhai, "I don't want to do that either. If I go to court, I'm afraid it will be said that I am using my power to suppress others."

The two sang together, Xia Yi looked confused, but Xu Lichang was dripping with cold sweat.

Magistrate Zhai knew about it and asked Xia Yi, "Xia Yi, what is your relationship with Xia Yan?"

Xia Yi was stunned for a moment and then said, "Sir, Xia Yan is my uncle."

"Since he is your uncle and he has an only daughter, why did you live in his house? Do you have the deed to No. 23 Songhua Lane?"

"Yes, yes," Xia Yi said anxiously: "Sir, my uncle is dead, my sister got married and left with her brother-in-law. This house is also ancestral property. After discussion, the elders in the clan thought that I was their
