Xu Feng still didn't respond.

He was not qualified to ask for forgiveness on behalf of that person. He could only listen as a bystander, nothing more.

"Lord Xu is willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice. This is truly admirable." Old Mrs. Bo raised her thumb in admiration. If Xu Feng had not made a heroic move, perhaps the Emperor of Northern Qi would have sent troops to start a war at this moment.

It's been so long and there's no news from the palace.

The return of the real Third Prince was the finishing touch, disrupting the Northern Qi Emperor.

Whether the Emperor of Northern Qi was investigating Ning Xianyun or anyone else, it was all true.

Old Mrs. Bo didn't dare to think too much about it. If Bo Yan really accomplished this one day, what kind of status would he have?

"Master Xu, can you tell me how he has been doing these years?"

Xu Feng cleared his throat and whispered, "He was taken away by his wet nurse to Nanliang. If it weren't for my aunt's help, he would have starved to death. When the wet nurse heard that my aunt had died, she started to mistreat him. It was normal for him to not have enough to eat. He was also forced to study hard and be severely beaten if he was not careful."

Old Mrs. Bo was startled.

"He was good at both literature and martial arts. At the age of fourteen, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and won first place among tens of thousands of people. He became the youngest number one scholar in Southern Liang. He caught the eye of the Southern Liang emperor and became a close minister to the emperor. He also became the object of countless people's ridicule. He offended too many people and was even hunted down in his sleep."

Xu Feng paused for a moment and said, "But compared to the days in the Bo family, I am still content."

In the Bo family, he was almost beaten to death because of a vase.

A human life is so worthless.

Mrs. Bo blushed with shame and asked anxiously, "Where is the wet nurse?"

According to Bo Yan's intelligence and means, he would definitely torture the wet nurse to death to vent his anger.

But Xu Feng said: "No, after becoming the emperor's close minister, the wet nurse became an honorable old lady in the capital of Southern Liang, surrounded by people, dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and wearing an imperial decree, and she enjoyed happiness for many years."

Old Mrs. Bo was surprised and obviously a little unconvinced, but then she thought that it must be because Bo Yan wanted to remember his kindness in raising her that she didn't care about those things.

"This child, alas..."

Old Mrs. Bo regretted more and more. She should not have allowed the Bo family to bully him, even if it was just sending him to be raised on a farm outside.

Then the Bo family must be at its peak at this time.

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

What Xu Feng didn't say was that this wet nurse was so ungrateful that she actually dared to plot against Lu Jingning, touching Bo Yan's bottom line. Although she didn't die, she lived a hard life.

Just consider it as repaying the kindness of raising me.

"Mrs. Bo, is there anything else you want to ask?" Xu Feng asked in a light tone. After he left, he might never see her again.

Mrs. Bo shook her head: "He is the only one who can achieve what he has today. It's better not to mention the Bo family."

Xu Feng stood up and left.

Old Mrs. Bo sat on the stone bench for a long time. She didn't even notice the cold wind until Mrs. Bo came to her in person.

"Mother, what did you talk about with Lord Xu?" Mrs. Bo was very curious.

Old Mrs. Bo made up an excuse to get away with it, then stood up and walked towards the mourning hall. She felt numb all over.

"Mother, what should we do next?" Mrs. Bo was a little nervous. Her husband was dead, but she didn't want to die yet. She wanted to leave the capital and go far away.

But Mrs. Bo was worried about how to go, and she couldn't say it directly. However, the old lady saw through her thoughts at a glance, but did not expose her. Instead, she gave her some advice.

"Now the emperor has already despised the Bo family. Sooner or later, we will die if we stay here. Chuan'er and Yan'er cannot live without their mother. My old bones are no longer able to do this. I still have to protect the Bo family." Old Madam Bo showed a look of despair on her face. She held Madam Bo's hand and excitedly warned: "The only way now is to fake your death and escape. Otherwise, if they investigate, your family will be implicated. The emperor will not embarrass your family anymore."

Mrs. Bo was waiting for Old Lady Bo to say this. She couldn't hide her excitement and shook her head reluctantly, "No, no, my husband is gone. How can I bear to abandon you all alone?"

"I am an old man and will die sooner or later, but it's different for you. You still have three children to take care of. You must promise me that you will train Chang'er well. He still has the blood of the Bo family in his bones." Old Mrs. Bo warned solemnly.

Mrs. Bo had no choice but to pretend to be helpless and nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely treat Chang Ge'er as my own son."

But Mrs. Bo was thinking that she and Chang Ge'er were not related at all, so she would sell Chang Ge'er if she had the chance to avoid him becoming a burden.

"In that case, let's start preparing, so as to avoid any more trouble." Old Mrs. Bo asked someone to prepare the medicine for fake death.

Mrs. Bo was very excited.

Old Madam Bo also asked her to write a letter of confession in her own handwriting, stating that Mrs. Bo had voluntarily followed Mr. Bo.

After doing everything she was told, Mrs. Bo couldn't wait to take the fake death drug and drink it.

Old Mrs. Bo sat on a chair nearby and watched Mrs. Bo's face slowly change. She covered her chest and fell down bit by bit.

Mrs. Bo felt as if her internal organs were burning. She looked up at Old Lady Bo with a terrified look. She had seen with her own eyes Chuan Ge'er and Yan Jie'er swallow the fake-death drug, and they clearly did not feel any pain, but fell asleep very quickly.

"Puff!" Mrs. Bo suddenly vomited blood.

Looking at the dark bloodstains on the ground, Mrs. Bo panicked and raised her finger to point at Old Lady Bo: "You! This is real poison!"

Old Madam Bo glanced down at Madam Bo, the sandalwood beads in her hands twirled rapidly, and she murmured, "Life for life, this is what you owe to the Xu family."

Mrs. Bo wanted to say something else, but her throat seemed to be blocked. She fell to the ground, rolling over and over, wailing in agony.

He struggled for a long time before he died.

Old Mrs. Bo closed her eyes and said, "Go and ask the doctor to come. Tell him that Madam couldn't take the blow and took medicine. Ask the doctor to think of a way to treat her."

"Old lady?"

"Go and get the imperial physician!" Old Mrs. Bo ordered.

So two imperial doctors rushed over, and after taking the patient's pulse, they found that the patient had already died of the poison. Old Mrs. Bo embarrassedly apologized to the two imperial doctors and asked someone to seal a generous consultation fee.

The next thing to do was to ask someone to arrange the funeral.
