Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

But he didn't say anything more and just glanced at Shangguan Chu.

"Since you have asked for the prescription, take good care of Jingheng and don't let him get sick again. You should act like a wife." She reminded him, and Shangguan Chu also responded softly.

"Yes, granddaughter-in-law understands."

"What are you so proud of, haha." Aunt Xiao San showed dissatisfaction in her eyes and couldn't help muttering sarcastically.

But no one dared to make trouble. At the dinner table, everyone calmed down and ate in silence.

At dawn the next day, Wan Shufang took Shangguan Chu's younger brother Shangguan Yu to the Xiao Mansion. It was the Xiao Mansion's housekeeper who opened the door. When he saw that it was Wan Shufang, he immediately let her go.

"The Duke's wife is here. The young lady is in the room. Please follow me."

"Okay." Wan Shufang nodded, took the child's hand, and walked into the house step by step.

When the two appeared in front of Shangguan Chu, she was really scared. Seeing Shangguan Yu's familiar face, Shangguan Chu was excited and hugged the person in front of her.

"Ayu, you're okay!" She said anxiously, half-kneeling on the ground in collapse, her eyes constantly looking at Shangguan Yu, fearing that he had some other scars on his body. Only after she was sure that the person in front of her was really safe did her heart slowly settle down.

Seeing her like this, Wan Shufang felt unbelievable. Logically speaking, Shangguan Chu should not like Shangguan Yu given her identity. After all, everyone dislikes a concubine's daughter.

But she did this, which made Wan Shufang look at her with a higher opinion.

Thoughts surged, and Wan Shufang reached out and placed her hand on Shangguan Chu's shoulder: "A Chu, now that your family is fine and Zhao Yue is dead, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Chu instantly broke down, tears bursting out, pulling Shangguan Yu to kneel in front of Wan Shufang, and sincerely thanked her: "Madam, thank you for saving Ayu."

"I have very few relatives, and I value family ties very much. So even though Ayu is... that kind of person, I never looked down on him. Back then, Liu Mochen suddenly found me and forced me to poison Jing Heng."

"He also asked me to pretend to surrender to Zhao Yue, spread false information, and confuse the madam. I... I'm sorry to the madam." Shangguan Chu said, his face full of tears. He kowtowed heavily to Wan Shufang, his eyes full of remorse.

Seeing her finally, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel distressed, and subconsciously held her hand tightly: "Sister, don't cry, it's all because of Ayu that you do this, Madam, just blame Ayu."

Although Shangguan Yu is young, he has seen the ups and downs of life since childhood due to his identity. He is also smarter than ordinary children and is very good at judging the situation.

Seeing the two siblings so affectionate, Wan Shufang held her forehead helplessly: "When did I ever say I blame you? I understand you, that's why I went to rescue him."

She reached out her hand, helped Shangguan Chu up, and gently ruffled her hair: "You are my student. I know a thing or two about your character. I know you would never do this suddenly."

"Take good care of him in the future. Now that I know about this matter, I will take care of it. You can rest assured. Besides, Jamel Xiao will be fine."

Hearing these words, Shangguan Chu was deeply moved. He pulled his younger brother and kept thanking Wan Shufang. Worried that she would kowtow again, Wan Shufang quickly made an excuse to go see Xiao Jingheng to suppress Shangguan Chu's emotions.

After finishing the treatment of Xiao Jingheng, Wan Shufang left the Xiao family and went straight to the Dali Temple with the evidence. She put the evidence of Liu Mochen's house arrest of Shangguan Chu's family on the table.

His face was filled with anger. "Minister of the Supreme Court, this matter should be thoroughly investigated. Liu Mochen secretly harbored my young son, abused private punishment, and threatened others to poison them. According to the laws of Great Yong, he deserves to be cut into pieces."

"Yes, yes, Madam, calm down first." The Dali Temple Minister said soothingly, then picked up the evidence from the table and examined it carefully: "To think that such a thing could happen, this Liu Mochen is truly audacious."

"We at the Dali Temple were unaware of this before, but now that we know, we will not tolerate it. I will send someone to capture him right away."

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Wan Shufang hurriedly followed and went to the Liu family with the Dali Temple Minister.

At the same time, inside the palace, Chen Changli also brought evidence to the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the reason Liu Mochen dared to do this is because he has the support of General Liu Qingshan."

"Over the years, Liu Qingshan has relied on his power to oppress the people, secretly plundering a lot of their wealth, and is even involved with the Beidi royal family..."

The more Chen Changli spoke, the uglier the emperor's expression became. Looking at the evidence before him, he slammed the table and angrily shouted, "Damn Liu Qingshan, damn the Liu family."

"How dare you collude with foreign enemies and betray me!" The emperor was so angry that he swept all the memorials to the ground, leaning on the table, his chest heaving violently: "Come here!"

"I have issued my order. Liu Qingshan has colluded with the enemy and committed treason. His military power will be revoked immediately, his general's residence will be confiscated, and he will be exiled to Mobei, never to return to the capital. As for Liu Mochen... the entire Liu family will be executed."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

A group of people knelt on the ground, shouting, and hurriedly retreated. After that, Chen Changli personally led the troops to search the general's mansion and captured Liu Mochen and his followers in one fell swoop.

The matter came to an end for the time being, but the fact that Shangguan Chu had drugged her could not be hidden from the old lady after all. However, considering that she was coerced and because of Wan Shufang's plea, old lady Xiao finally softened her attitude.

She looked at Shangguan Chu and sighed softly, "Never mind. It's not easy for you either. For the Duke's wife's sake, take good care of Jing Heng from now on."

"Our mansion still owes the Duke's wife a life. We have to repay her life-saving grace. When you have time, please go to the Duke's mansion more often and take it as a way to plan Jingheng's career."

Hearing this, Shangguan Chu instantly understood what the old lady meant. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately said nothing. She simply knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude: "Yes, granddaughter-in-law understands. Thank you, Grandmother, for your forgiveness."

"Get up, go see Jing Heng, don't kneel here."

"Granddaughter-in-law, please retire."

Shangguan Chu stood up, bowed slightly, and walked out of the room.

The matter came to an end here. Afterwards, under Shangguan Chu's care, Xiao Jingheng's health gradually recovered and he began to prepare seriously for the palace examination.

The palace examination will begin in half a month. The entire Xiao family is eagerly looking at Xiao Jingheng and dares not disturb him every day.

In the capital, students preparing for the exam can be seen everywhere. Seeing this scene, Wan Shufang couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, heroes are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. There are a lot of such geniuses in the court. I wonder if Xiao Jingheng can break through the siege."

Hearing this, Chen Changli put his arm around Wan Shufang's waist and softly consoled her, "No matter what, as long as he doesn't regret it."

After the words fell, the two smiled at each other, stopped looking at the student, and walked back home to rest.
