Ling Xiao met Changfeng early in the morning.

"Mrs. Wei has summoned everyone." Changfeng handed a bunch of papers to Ling Xiao, "This is a bad thing she did for Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou. She put her fingerprints on it."

Ling Xiao took it, took a cursory look, and then said to Changfeng: "Take me to see her."

Arriving at the room where Mrs. Wei was kept, Ling Xiao walked in alone.

"Master... Marquis Jingyuan, I have told you everything I know. Please spare my life! All the bad things were done by Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou. The lives of my entire family have been spared." It's all in her hands, I really don't dare to disobey." Granny Wei burst into tears, "I still have an eighty-year-old mother and a six-year-old grandson to raise..."

"You are four generations living under one roof." Ling Xiao interrupted her and said coldly: "In good times, no one would be willing to die."

"Master...Master Hou, please show your noble hand and spare this slave. I will never dare to do it again!" Wei Po collapsed on the ground and kept kneeling towards Ling Xiao.

"You stay here honestly for now, and when the old Marquis recovers from his illness, I will naturally save your life. But if you want to run away, or want to honor yourself, then you will miss your mother and grandson at home! "The moment Ling Xiao opened the door, he looked back at Mrs. Wei and asked again: "Is this prince the son of Zhongyuan Hou?"

Mrs. Wei was about to stand up when her legs gave way, and she knelt down and sat back on the ground. She looked at Ling Xiao with the corner of her mouth trembling slightly.

Ling Xiao never expected that Granny Wei would have such an expression after just asking her casually.

"Who are my biological parents?" Ling Xiao asked.

Mrs. Wei looked at Ling Xiao's eyes as if she wanted to kill someone. She quickly lowered her head and whispered: "At that time, Madam wanted a little girl, but Ren Yazi secretly brought a few of them, but Madam didn't like them. Later, it was about to arrive. On the day of delivery, Madam was a little anxious, so Ren Yazi brought a boy over, saying that it was a new baby and that it looked very good. Madam fell in love with you at first sight, and despite the objections of everyone in the Yang family, she forcibly kept you. As for your biological parents, Renyazi said they were all dead... The capital was in chaos at that time, and there were gangs everywhere. Madam only thought they were the children of dead parents, so she gave Renyazi a large sum of money... Yes Yes, you were brought here in a hurry. The midwife didn't notice that you had a pair of jade pendants on you. When you were carried out, the old marquis saw it. In desperation, the lady said that it was given by the old lady of the Yang family. The old marquis said that the jade pendants were a little bit... The year is a good thing, so it hangs around your neck."

Ling Xiao walked out of the room in despair and said to Changfeng outside the door: "Arrange someone to keep an eye on her here."

Ling Xiao returned to the front yard, still thinking about what Granny Wei said. Logically speaking, Granny Wei should not lie to him.

His mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

Marquis Zhongyuan treats him better than Ling Chen, so how could he not be his biological father?
He could accept that he was not the son of Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou, but it was difficult for him to accept the fact that he was not the son of Zhongyuan Hou.

When he was extremely sad, Yang Zhi came to the door.

Ling Xiao sneered and asked someone to invite him in.

"Xiao'er, why didn't you accept the ginseng I gave you yesterday? This is a hundred-year-old ginseng." Yang Zhi put the ginseng in his hand on the table next to Ling Xiao and said in a sincere tone: "You keep it first. Just in case it comes in handy.”

"The emperor rewarded me with two ginseng, and the Zuo family also sent two." Ling Xiao glanced at the ginseng and said calmly: "They are all hundred years old."

Yang Zhi's face was slightly astringent, his fingers touched the corner of the table, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Ling Xiao stood up and said, "I still have to send Xiang Ning to the palace. The Queen and the Prince want to see her."

Yang Zhi also stood up, took a step in front of Ling Xiao, and whispered: "Actually, I came here so early today, and there is something else I want to tell you."

"Say it." Ling Xiao said calmly.

"Someone was lost in the backyard of Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion yesterday." Yang Zhi paused and said, "I would like to ask you to help find him."

"My father is still here. It's not my turn to take care of the affairs of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion." Ling Xiao sneered: "If it's convenient for you, you can help search for it, or if it doesn't work, just report it to the official. It's a crime of escaped slavery. Not small."

After Yang Zhi said this, it was hard to say anything else.

"If it is not convenient for you to come forward, I can ask my guards to go over and guard all the doors to ensure that no one will be lost again." Ling Xiao continued. "You still have to take care of the old Marquis, so I'd better ask someone to find it." Yang Zhi sighed, "If you need me for anything, just ask someone to tell me."

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded in agreement, sent Yang Zhi away, and turned back to the inner courtyard.

Zuo Xiangning had already packed up and was about to leave. When she saw Ling Xiao coming in, she said with a smile: "You don't have to wait for me for lunch. I'm afraid the Queen will keep me for lunch."

"I'll ask Changfeng to accompany you there. He'll be waiting outside." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You can come back whenever you want, as long as you don't live in the palace."

"Then I'll come back at night." Zuo Xiangning picked up the cloak and put it on her body.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and helped her fasten the belt in front of her clothes, "Don't come back too late. Let's have shabu-shabu tonight."

"Seeing that you are so sincere, I'd better come back early." Zuo Xiangning hugged Ling Xiao's waist, turned around beautifully, lifted the curtain and left the room.

Ling Xiao followed her and watched her graceful figure leave the courtyard. He turned around and went to the east courtyard.

Liu Qian was fumigating the medicine for Marquis Zhongyuan.

The smell of medicine in the room was pungent.

Ling Xiao stood at the door of the outer room for a while, and then Liu Qian came out of the inner room covered in sweat.

As he put down his sleeves, he said to Ling Xiao, "Master Marquis is here."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ling Xiao said gratefully: "You don't have to do some things yourself, just let the guards and servants do it."

"They can't control the time and temperature well." Liu Qian said: "This is a new method I came up with. Taking a bath with medicinal soup can activate blood circulation and remove blood clots. It may have some effect."

Ling Xiao nodded and went into the inner room to look at his father lying on the bed.

"Doctor Liu, I noticed why the color on my father's face looks better than before?" Ling Xiao said in surprise.

"This is a good sign." Liu Qian said: "Many diseases are reflected on the face. Otherwise, the most basic thing in treating a doctor is to learn to observe words and colors."

Ling Xiao's confidence doubled after what Liu Qian said, and he sighed with a slight expression on his face, "If you need any other medicinal materials, just tell me."

"I asked Mingyue to prepare the safflower." Liu Qian said, "There are other medicinal materials in Madam's pharmacy."

Ling Xiao nodded and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.

He went to the study and took out the pair of jade pendants from the bottom box.

This pair of jade pendants has been on him since he can remember, and he likes them very much.

Later, with the help of the emperor and his father, he established Wufutang, using pawn shops and escort agencies to collect intelligence from various places. This pair of jade pendants became the keepsake of Wufutang.

It turned out that this was left to him by his biological parents.

What about his biological parents?

Is he dead? Or just abandoned him?
