Jing Lei sent another letter to the Song family, and inside the envelope was a finger of Jiang Bowen.

When Song saw the contents of the letter and the severed finger, she was shocked and frightened. She trembled all over and could not even stand steadily.

The government has already issued an order to search for the person, but these bandits dared to send a letter. They are so brave. If she really doesn't do what they say, Song believes that her son's neck will be cut off this time.

After Song calmed down, she and Jiang Huaiqing found an excuse to leave.

As soon as she went out, she panicked.

She personally ran to the backyard and had the carriage harnessed in the stable, then asked the driver to leave through the back door without taking any servants with her.

It's still a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

Song arrived at the temple at the appointed time and finally saw her long-awaited son. However, Jiang Bowen was tied to a pillar with blood all over his body and his head hanging down. It was unknown whether he was dead or fainted.

"Bowen!"

Song trembled and rushed towards Jiang Bowen, but just as she shouted, a dagger was pressed against her neck from behind: "Don't move."

Song was so frightened that her whole body froze. She dared not move at all, and even stopped crying. She raised her hands holding the handkerchief and stammered, "I won't...move...don't...don't...kill my...son."

The voice behind her was low and cold, and the cold blade pressed against her neck even tighter: "As long as you tell me how much silver Jiang Huaiqing got from the mine in recent years and where he hid the silver, I promise to return my son to you. But - if you lie, both of you will die today."

How to choose depends on what the Song family thinks.

……

In the evening of that day, the government officials tore down the notice - the magistrate's son was found.

Brothers Jiang Hao and Xu Xing came out of Yakeju after dinner. They heard the people who came in talking and subconsciously glanced at Xu Xing with deep meaning in their eyes.

Xu Xing happened to be looking at her, their eyes met, and then they looked away from each other.

"Thank you both for your hospitality today. It's getting late, so goodbye."

Jiang Hao offered to leave.

Xu Xing said calmly: "It's really late, let's take you back."

"Need not."

Jiang Hao immediately rejected his kindness: "I have something to do on the way back, so I won't bother you two."

After saying this, he turned and left without caring whether they agreed or not.

Actually, Xu Zhao found an excuse to treat Jiang Hao to this meal because of what happened that night. She agreed because Xu Zhao kept nagging her. When she arrived, she saw Xu Xing was there too.

If I had known earlier, I would definitely not have come.

She felt embarrassed to hear Xu Zhao calling them "big brother" and "sister-in-law". If the two brothers had not come to enforce justice, she would not have tolerated Xu Zhao's words.

But, the Xia people are most particular about “since you are already here”, so in this case, let’s sit down and eat together.

They ate, and the three of them spoke very little during the meal. Xu Xing almost took the "no talking while eating" rule to the extreme. Xu Zhao occasionally spoke, and she responded politely.

The three of them were concentrating on eating the whole time.

After Jiang Hao walked away, Xu Zhao scratched his head and said to Xu Xing: "Brother, do you think that my sister-in-law looks like someone?"

What nonsense is this!

Xu Xing withdrew his gaze, glanced at him unhappily, and left.

"Brother, didn't you notice? Hey, hey, hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me!"

Although Xu Xing did not respond to Xu Zhao, a face appeared in his mind.

Jiang Hao... he really does look like someone.
