Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

The two of them walked further and further away, not noticing that Mu Yunhe, dressed in brocade clothes, came out from the corner behind them.

He looked at Mu Yuanzhi's back with a hint of sarcasm, "Fool, you dare to offend father at this time."

He glanced at the Nanshan Jade in his hand which had a warming and nourishing effect. He was not stupid enough to go against his father. He would just go along with his father.

Mu Yunhe brought Nanshan Yu into the study with confidence, and he seemed to see that his father was becoming more and more satisfied and fond of him.

Who would have thought that in just a cup of tea, Mu Yunhe and his Nanshan Jade were thrown out.

Mu Yunhe was full of confusion. He was not following his father's orders, so why was his father so angry?

He was puzzled and picked up the Nanshan Jade and left in embarrassment.

At the same time, he secretly swore that he must find a Taoist priest who was more powerful than Master Wu. He didn't believe that he couldn't make his father happy.

At the same time, on the other side, Xiao Qingzi took the elixir of immortality and fed it to the man in eunuch clothes in front of him without hesitation.

Except for him and Song Zhi, no one knew that the young eunuch who tested the poison had been replaced by a death row prisoner with a lot of crimes on his hands.

The emperor is high and mighty, and there are countless eunuchs in the palace. How could he really remember the face of any one of them?

Even Eunuch Li couldn't recognize everyone.

Song Zhi found her some medicine and mixed it with the elixir of immortality for the prisoner to eat, achieving a realistic effect.

The real little eunuch had already been sent out of the palace.

Because he only took one elixir of immortality, the young eunuch was somewhat addicted, but not to the point where he could not quit.

The withdrawal process was a bit painful, but fortunately it went smoothly.

After successfully quitting addiction two days ago, Song Zhi sent the young eunuch away from the capital with profuse gratitude.

Xiao Qingzi had also made arrangements. When his cousin the guard asked him for ten taels of silver again, he followed his cousin out the door.

He thought that his cousin would hurriedly give all the silver money to his seriously ill mother.

But after leaving the palace, the other party walked in the opposite direction of his home, and soon came to a gambling house.

"Damn it! I spent all the five taels of silver last time. I don't believe I'll be this unlucky this time."

My cousin walked into the gambling house cursing.

Even at this time, the young eunuch still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart.

It’s okay for my cousin to gamble, even if it means using his ten taels of silver.

As long as the money is not lost, as long as he can help take care of his mother and do his best to get medicine and hire a doctor for her, he will turn a blind eye.

But he sat outside the gambling house for several hours, and his cousin didn't come out.

It was not until midnight that my cousin was thrown out by the people inside in a ferocious manner.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to cause trouble in our casino, you don't want to live anymore!"

My cousin was like a vicious dog with red eyes. He struggled to get up from the ground.

"No, I can still turn the tables. I can definitely turn the tables. Please let me in, let me in!"

Several people stood at the door with sarcastic expressions, "Come in! Do you have any money?"

"I……"

My cousin frantically searched his body and realized that he had lost all his money.

He punched the ground unwillingly, "How could I be so unlucky!"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and jumped up from the ground.

"Yes, cousin, I went to find my cousin and told him that the money for his mother's medicine was not enough, and asked him to give me another ten taels, no, twenty taels. He cares so much about his dying mother, he will definitely do everything he can to get the money for me."

My cousin stumbled towards the palace, not noticing a pair of angry, murderous eyes staring at him from behind.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly slapped his head and changed direction and walked in the opposite direction.

Xiao Qingzi's heart moved. Could it be that her cousin realized his mistake and planned to go back to see his mother?

He suppressed his urge to kill and followed his cousin carefully.

After a while, they saw their cousin coming to where they lived.

Before entering the yard, just a glance outside made Xiao Qingzi's eyes red and she almost cried.

Since he entered the palace to work, he lost his freedom and was never able to come back to see her.

The courtyard that I remembered as clean and tidy when I was a child is now dilapidated and out of place with the courtyard next to it.

Even the main gate was shaking as if it could be blown down by the wind at any time.

But there was no need to wait for the door to be blown down by the wind, because my cousin walked over and kicked the door open.

There was a loud bang, sending up dust in the yard.

Only then did Xiao Qingzi see that the yard was in an even more desolate state.

The flowers that my mother once took good care of have long since withered, and the small vegetable garden next to it has become abandoned.

He remembered that when he was a child, his mother loved to stand under the grape trellis, feeding the chickens and urging him to study while smiling.

Memories of the past lie before my eyes, but the reality is so dilapidated that it is hard to accept.

He followed her in with tears in his eyes and heard cursing coming from a room with dim candlelight.

"You're quite a tough old woman. This didn't kill you."

Then, an old and weak voice sounded from inside, "Aqiao is back. Where is Qing'er? How is Qing'er doing in the palace now?"

My cousin, Zeng Aqiao, snorted coldly.

"You're about to die, and you're still so worried about your son."

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, your son has committed a crime in the palace and needs money to pay for it. If you still have any money, take it out quickly, otherwise you will have to wait for your son's body to be collected."

"what?!"

The old voice obviously couldn't bear such a blow, and he couldn't breathe and almost fainted.

But for the sake of her son's safety, she forced herself to cheer up and said, "Why did you get into trouble again? Last time, I sold all the things in the house for two taels of silver to give you. And the previous few times..."

Zeng Aqiao interrupted impatiently, "You know, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. There are so many nobles in the palace. It's not unusual for him to be punished for repeatedly offending them. Just tell me if you have any way to get more money."

"I... I don't have the money. You can see I'm broke now. I've sold everything I could."

Zeng Aqiao rolled his eyes and said softly, "Not necessarily. Don't you still have this yard to sell?"

"A yard? But where would I live if I sold it?"

"Then there's no way."

Zeng Aqiao said in a businesslike manner, "Are you reluctant to leave this yard or your son? It's your choice."

"I...I'm selling the yard. As long as Qing'er is fine, I'm fine with anything."

"now it's right."

Zeng Aqiao smiled happily, "I have a day off tomorrow, so I can help you find a decent buyer."

The old voice secretly shed tears when he heard this, but he had no other choice but to grab at a life-saving straw.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingzi couldn't bear it anymore.

He rushed in without thinking, like an enraged lion.
