Song Xiao arrived at Wangjiazhuang the next day and went to find the village head first. When the village head saw Song Xiao coming, he hurriedly tried to avoid him.

"Don't hide, Zhuangtou, where is my mother?"

He dodged her gaze and stammered, "Master...Master...I'm not hiding, how do I know where the Madam is?"

"My father has told me that my mother is at the farm you are in charge of. Please tell me where she is."

"My dear, I don't know what you are talking about?"

"You know it very well, but do you have to make me angry before you tell me where my mother is?"

"Master, the Prime Minister told me not to tell you where your wife is. If I tell you, he will definitely not forgive me."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't forgive you if you don't tell me? Although my father is now in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am the eldest son in the family. Sooner or later, I will take over the family business."

"If you want to be the village head in the future, tell me where my mother is and I will forgive you for what happened."

"Otherwise, the first thing I will do as the head of the family is to drive your whole family out of the village and make sure that your whole family has no place to stand. I will keep my word."

Song Xiao roared: "Hurry up and tell me..."

The village head paused for a moment and said cautiously: "Master, I will take you there now. Please don't tell the Prime Minister that it was me who took you there."

"understood."

Song Xiao anxiously followed the head of the village to the door of a dilapidated old house. Nanny Li was decocting medicine at the door and when she saw Song Xiao coming, she burst into tears with excitement.

"Master, you are finally here. Your coming will save the lady."

"Madam Li, where is my mother?"

"My lady is inside."

"Madam, the young master is here."

Song Xiao looked at the dilapidated house with a big hole in the roof. How could people live in such a house? A strong person would get sick sooner or later if he lived here, let alone a patient. He felt distressed.

"Mom, my son is here. Doctor, come and see me."

The Prime Minister's wife slowly opened her eyes, dimly saw her eldest son, and forced a smile.

She said weakly: "Xiao'er...you're here...I thought I would never see you again."

"Mom, I'm late. I'm sorry you've suffered. I'll take you home after the doctor has examined you."

"Mom, I don't have a home anymore."

"We are going back to our home where only our son and grandson live. The Prime Minister's Mansion is too cold and our son doesn't want to stay any longer. We brothers have already moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"From now on, we brothers will serve our mother well, and when Liuli comes back, our family will live a good life."

"Is your father willing to let you brothers come out?"

"He has sons and daughters, and us brothers are redundant in that family."

"What will you brothers do if there is no one to protect you in the court?"

"Mom, don't worry about us, just get well."

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

"Let's go out and talk."

"Doctor, there's no need to go out and tell me how long I have left to live, so I can understand when I die."

"Madam, you don't have any serious illness. It seems that you are poisoned. I am not familiar with poisons, so I dare not treat you carelessly."

"The doctor that Dashan found for me last night said the same thing. He just prescribed some medicine to suppress the spread of the toxin."

"Do you know which clinic in Xingqing Prefecture is better at treating poisons?"

"It's OK to treat illnesses, but few doctors know poisons. Since you are the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can ask the imperial physician to see you."

"Thank you."

"Mother, your son will take you home. I will then go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to diagnose your pulse."

"it is good."

Dashan and Huzi hurriedly blocked his way, "Master, you can't take the Madam away. The master told us that we must watch over the Madam. If the Madam leaves, we brothers will be the ones to die."

"You are guards, not killers. How could you be so cold-blooded? You watched a person die like this and you were indifferent."

"You have families too. Just imagine how helpless you would feel if your family members were dying and no one was there to help."

"Master, we are helpless too. After all, we are paid by the master and we have to do things for him, otherwise the master will not forgive our whole family."

"He is the prime minister, not the emperor. He doesn't dare to kill people at will. He is just trying to scare you. My mother must go find a doctor now. If anything happens to my mother, I will not let you go."

"Master, please don't embarrass us brothers."

Song Xiao roared: "Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."

"Young Master..."

Song Xiao carried his mother on his back and left, and Nanny Li hurriedly followed.

He took out a fifty-liang silver note from his pocket and put it in the village head's hand.

"Zhuangtou, please prepare a carriage for me."

"Yes."

On the way back, they met Song Qiao, and they took the seriously ill Deng back to their current residence.

He hurried to the palace to ask the imperial physician to come and take his pulse. The imperial physician said that they could only suppress the spread of the poison but not cure it.

"Xiao'er, Qiao'er, even if it can't be cured, maybe this is mother's fate! It's a pity that I can't see your sister Liuli before I die. It's a bit regrettable."

"Mom, you will be fine. I will find a famous doctor to cure your poison."

"Brother, I will go back and ask the Prime Minister for the antidote."

"Qiao'er, your father just wants me to die to make room for Chen's company. Don't go back and beg him. He won't give you the antidote. Instead, you will be insulted by him."

"Mom, I would rather die than watch you brothers being insulted by him."

"mother……"

Song Qiao still secretly ran back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for the antidote.

When Prime Minister Song saw him coming back, he said coldly: "Why are you coming to my house when you are not from my family? You are not welcome in my house."

He knelt down hurriedly, "Dad, I beg you to take out the antidote! Mom is dying soon, please save her for the sake of our decades of marriage!"

"Even if mother is well, she will not compete with Chen for the position of Madam. You can divorce mother but you can't let her die. I beg you, son."

"I don't have a son like you, and I don't have the antidote. Go back! I want to see how well you brothers can live after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"You dare to fight me for the Deng family. You are simply courting death."

"Are you really unwilling to save your mother?"

Prime Minister Song threw the divorce letter on the ground and said gloomily: "Take back Deng's divorce letter and we will never be apart again."

Song Qiao picked up the divorce letter tremblingly and stared at Prime Minister Song fiercely.

Gnashing his teeth: "Okay, from now on we are done with each other."

"roll…"

Song Qiao ran out with the divorce letter and returned home to give it to his eldest brother.

"Brother, Prime Minister Song is unwilling to give the antidote and has even written a letter of divorce."

"I knew he wouldn't give you the antidote, but you just refused to give up. Now you should see his cold and ruthless face clearly."

"Brother, what should I do?"

"Let's go to Fengtou and find out who knows how to cure poison."

"it is good."
