The main courtyard of Zhongyuan Hou Mansion is brightly lit.

As soon as Ling Xiao stepped into the courtyard, the door of the main room was opened from the inside. Mrs. Yang of Zhongyuan Marquis was sitting in the middle of the main room, looking at Ling Xiao who was approaching her step by step.

"You're finally here." Yang asked gently, "Is your injury healed?"

"The blood-throat sealing tree is also known as the arrow poison wood. Once it comes into contact with the wound, it can paralyze the poisoned person's heart, coagulate the blood, and suffocate to death." Ling Xiao looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him and said: "We Hou When did the guards in the mansion get into the habit of smearing poison on their arrows?"

"I have written a memorial to the emperor in the name of your father, listing all your crimes over the years in a book. There are both witnesses and physical evidence." Yang looked at the man in front of him with frosty eyes and said: " If I were you, I would never return to the Hou Mansion."

"I want to know why?" Ling Xiao walked into the room and sat on the chair at the bottom. "I have grown up under your knees for more than 20 years and call you 'mother' every day. Do you think you have never regarded me as a mother?" Treat him as his son?"

Yang's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Our Ling family's century-old foundation cannot be destroyed in your hands. Even if I agree, the ancestors of the Ling family will not agree." Yang sighed and said, "Even if you are my son, I can’t do that either.”

"Aunt Yang or Aunt Ma, who is my biological mother?" Ling Xiao coughed lightly and said, "I hope you can tell me the truth for the sake of our 20-plus years of mother-son affection."

Yang's face changed slightly, "What are you talking about? You were born to me in ten months of pregnancy, and everyone in the house knows?"

"It should be Aunt Yang, right? She was your dowry girl. The second year after you married into the Marquis Mansion, she got pregnant at the same time as you, but she gave birth three days earlier than you. On the day of giving birth, she had a difficult delivery. And died." Ling Xiao asked: "If nothing happens, she should be my biological mother, right?"

Yang looked at Ling Xiao solemnly, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

"You want to kill me." Ling Xiao's palm gently rubbed the handle of the chair. Yang always told him before that when he was young, he liked to climb up and down on this chair, and he was not honest at all.

Yang felt a little hesitant.

She didn't want to kill Ling Xiao.

Although he was not her child, she did love him as her own son before the second child was born.

But now she had to kill him.

Because he already knows that she is not his biological mother, he will only hate himself.

As her elder brother said, if you cut the grass without removing the root, the sprout will still sprout.

"I have sent someone to send a letter to my father. Before my father comes back, I hope you can calm down and be patient for a few more days." Ling Xiao stood up and said, "Also, if you don't want to let the Ling family live for a hundred years, If the foundation is destroyed, you should quickly ask the people hiding in the dark to evacuate, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Yang stood up and called him nervously, "Where are you going?"

"Do you think I will still live in the Hou Mansion?" Ling Xiao smiled coldly and sadly, "This place was no longer my home eight years ago."

Seeing that one of Ling Xiao's feet had already stepped over the threshold, Yang's heart was in her throat.

As long as he goes out, he will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die!

Ling Xiao's feet were raised, but they didn't land for a long time.

He was waiting for Yang behind him to stop.

But what disappointed him was that Yang behind him did not shout to stop.Ling Xiao raised his legs and stepped out of the door. Several "thump" and "thump" sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground were heard in the yard.

Seeing that Ling Xiao was safe and sound, Yang quickly walked to the door.

At this time, there were seven or eight more corpses in the yard.

"The following offenders shall be punished with death." Ling Xiao said as he walked out of the courtyard gate in a swagger.

Yang's face was as dark as ink.

This was the master her elder brother was looking for, and he was killed so silently?
Ling Xiao walked out of the gate and vomited blood before getting on his horse.

Changfeng supported him and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

"Master?" Ling Xiao smiled sarcastically, got on the horse and said, "Send me to Zuofu!"

"Sir," Changfeng quickly changed his words and said, "The toxins in your body are not yet cleared, so you should go back and let the doctor take a look."

"Go to Zuo Mansion." Ling Xiao was now eager to see Zuo Xiangning.

He wanted to tell her that from now on, he has no mother and no home. He only has her and he can no longer live without her!
But he got on the horse, and within a few steps, he fainted on the horse.

When Ling Xiao woke up again, it was already two days later.

The eldest aunt of the Jiang family arrived in the capital from Cangzhou.

She went directly to the Jiang family's house, and Jiang Ruochen came over to deliver a letter to Jiang, "My mother said she would come to see the old lady and you tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly sent someone to call Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Xiangyu, and they went to the Jiang family's house together.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't someone tell me in advance? I could pick you up outside the city." Jiang held the hand of the eldest aunt of the Jiang family, her eyes red, "Why didn't mother come with you?"

"My mother was originally going to come with me, but the weather was not very good. Your eldest brother didn't let her come. He said that she would come back when the weather gets warmer." The eldest aunt wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and smiled. Then he looked at Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Xiangyu who were standing aside.

"Are these Yu'er and Ning'er?" The aunt's eyes turned around the two people's faces and stopped on Zuo Xiangning, who had a bright smile and beautiful appearance.

"Sister-in-law hasn't seen them for many years. Maybe you won't recognize them now, right?" Ms. Jiang introduced the two children to Aunt Jiang's family with a smile.

Aunt Jiang was impartial and rewarded each of them with a red gold bracelet.

"You go to the backyard to play with your cousin and your third brother." Jiang said with a smile, "I'll have a chat with your aunt."

After Zuo Xiangning and Zuo Xiangyu went out, the eldest aunt of the Jiang family said bluntly: "I came here this time just for the matter of Ruochen and Xiangning. Mother, me, and your eldest brother, we all believe Yours, but if I don’t see it with my own eyes, I will always feel unsure.”

"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you in my letter? The emperor said that he would grant marriage to the fifth prince and Xiang Ning. Our master was afraid, so he just said nonsense. Xiang Rong and I have already discussed it. After a while, Just find an excuse to get rid of the marriage." Jiang said with a smile.

"Is Xiang Ning disapproving?" Aunt Jiang asked shrewdly.

"Xiang Ning is still a child, so she has no right to speak." Jiang said with a smile: "I think this marriage was proposed too hastily and I should be more cautious."

"If Xiang Ning has no objection, then the marriage should be settled as soon as possible." Aunt Jiang's family said with a smile: "Actually, you are our aunt and Ruochen's biological aunt. Let me tell you that I'm not afraid of your jokes... ...If this marriage is not settled, your silly nephew may not even be able to read the book! Just think of it as pitying your silly nephew, and hurry up and settle their marriage!"
