After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Master, please save me, I will behave myself and won't cause you any trouble.

Please save me, considering that I have served you for twenty years and even borne you children."

She knelt at Xu Qingsong's feet and begged bitterly.

Xu Qingxia and Xu Zhao also knelt in front of their father, begging for mercy.

Xu Qingsong felt a pity when he saw the mother and her two children crying at his feet.

Mainly, if his wife entered Shuntian Prefecture, his reputation would also be damaged.

"Sir Wang, can you wait until Madam Lin wakes up before interrogating my wife?

My wife will be there whenever you call her, and I'll be your guarantor, okay?"

Lord Wang thought about it and decided that this was not against the law. As long as Mrs. Xu could be called upon for interrogation, she would not have to be imprisoned now.

After all, all this still needs to wait for the complaint from Lord Lin.

With Xu Qingsong's guarantee, Lord Wang agreed with some difficulty.

After giving repeated instructions to Lord Xu, he left with the officials.

Leaving behind the panicked Xu family.

Xu Qingxia knelt on the ground exhausted, without any sign of a noble lady.

It was clearly just a minor quarrel between her brother and Lin Xiangxi, how did it develop to this point?

Xu Qingxia was really scared.

But there was only hatred in Xu Zhao's eyes, and he wished to tear the Lin family into pieces.

Another person who hated the Lin family to the core was Mrs. Xu.

Although she was scared, it did not stop her from hating the Lin family.

···

Lin Xiangxi came to Lin Chengfeng's side.

"This is a list of students and teachers who are close to Xu Zhao." Lin Xiangxi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

He thought of Xu Zhao's sister Xu Qingxia, who had also tripped up his mother.

Girls' schools are not located together with boys' schools, and the subjects of study are also different.

His two elder sisters, Chunhua and Qiuhua, were in a girls' school, and students in the girls' school also had to go out to learn needlework from famous teachers.

These past two days they have been going out to learn about fabrics and embroidery techniques.

Lin Xiangxi glanced at the man beside him and frowned, "I heard that Xu Zhao's sister Xu Qingxia likes you?"

"Throw away those messy thoughts in your head." Lin Chengfeng stuffed the paper into his sleeve and went to the kitchen to burn it later.

No need to ask, just looking at Lin Xiangxi's expression you can tell what's on his mind.

Do I still want to keep this son? I actually want to push him away.

Lin Chengfeng glanced at the closed door and took out a bottle of medicine. "This is what your mother asked me to give you."

Lin Xiangxi took it and stroked the bottle with his fingers. He had never seen such a bottle even in the capital.

He opened the bottle and drank it.

After a while, a surge of heat seemed to surge through his body, opening up his Ren and Du meridians.

The bruise from yesterday didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

"Give me the bottle." Lin Chengfeng took the empty bottle. This kind of thing must not be known to others.

Lin Xiangxi was not curious either.

The two of them kept the secret tacitly.

Lin Chengfeng stuffed the bottle back into his sleeve, without even looking at Lin Xiangxi, and walked into the house.

The next day, Shen Yunwan was still recuperating in bed, and three meals a day were brought into the room by Nanny Li.

For a time, the rumor that Mrs. Lin was stabbed and couldn't even get out of bed became more and more intense.

There was even news that Mrs. Lin was dying.

For a time, everyone in the Xu family was in panic.

"That bitch must be faking it. Is she going to die soon? She clearly bumped into me herself!"

Madam Xu was filled with anger. Although she did want to stab that bitch to death that day, didn't she die?

Xu Qingsong was just pacing around the hall in annoyance, not knowing how Lin Chengfeng would impeach him in the court tomorrow.

But when he heard that Shen Yunwan did it on purpose.

He squinted his eyes, as if he had caught Lin Chengfeng's pigtail, and was in a good mood.

The rumors have been getting more and more intense these days, accusing Mrs. Xu of being a murderer.

As a result, the Xu family stayed in the house these days and did not dare to go out.

The next day.

This was the first time Lin Chengfeng put on his official uniform after Shen Yunwan was injured.

As a figure in yellow sat down on the dragon throne, the low-pressure atmosphere in the court made it difficult to breathe.

The emperor frowned as he looked at the unkempt Lin Chengfeng.

As he expected, Lin Chengfeng impeached Xu Qingsong and the teachers in the school one by one.

It was rare that he wrote so many memorials while taking care of his wife.

Xu Qingsong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my wife is stupid and dull, and I dare not plead for her.

However, Mrs. Lin broke into the school and injured her son. My wife acted rashly because she loved her son so much.

However, regarding my wife stabbing Madam Lin, I have something to say."

Xu Qingsong paused for a moment and looked at Lin Chengfeng.

"I didn't intend to stab Madam Lin at that time. Madam Lin intentionally stabbed the golden fork in the chest."

Following Xu Qingsong's words, the eyes of the gentlemen nominated for impeachment by Lin Chengfeng lit up.

They all came forward to describe the scene at that time.

Lin Chengfeng still stood there proudly, his face expressionless.

"Then why did my wife force her way in?" He looked at the Imperial College's chief priest.

Before the chief priest could speak, Lin Chengfeng continued, "It's because Xu Zhao, the son of Lord Xu, led others to bully my son."

"Lord Lin, that was just a fight between children. There's no need to make a big deal out of it, right?" Xu Qingsong also knew that Xu Zhao had led people to beat Lin Xiangxi. So what if they did?

At most we can say that he is a bad parent and needs to be disciplined more in the future.

"Besides, isn't it Mr. Lin's talent that makes people suspicious?"

Lin Chengfeng stared at the chief priest. "Lord Xu said my son cheated. What do you think?"

The chief priest was sweating in his heart. If he said yes, Lord Lin would definitely pester him for evidence.

If they say no, now they are in the same boat with Lord Xu, isn't this a slap in Lord Xu's face?

Just when the chief priest was at a loss as to what to do, the person on the dragon throne spoke up, "Cheating? How good were Master Lin's answers?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Lin Chengfeng's face showed a slight fluctuation.

Why is this person focusing on this brat? Is he planning something again?

The chief priest has not yet recovered from the question of whether Lin Xiangxi cheated.

He was a little confused when he heard the words of the emperor. What did this mean?

"Why? As the chief priest, you don't even know if the students cheated?"

The emperor looked at the person kneeling on the ground, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

"How can you teach a good student if you are so irresponsible? Since you can't do it well, then just go home and retire!"

He was dismissed from his post without saying a word, which is unprecedented.

Fortunately, he survived.

The former chief priest did not argue any further and quietly withdrew.

Xu Qingsong was also at a loss as to what to do after the emperor's action.

After a moment, A Shun handed an answer sheet to the emperor and whispered something in his ear.

Everyone knew whose answer sheet he held, but even if a student cheated, or an official bribed someone to buy an official position, it would not be the emperor's turn to personally investigate.

Half a minute later, the emperor spoke with a hint of admiration, "Mr. Lin, have you read your son's answer sheet?"
