"Little Xi, what are you looking at?" Seeing his granddaughter in a daze, Old Madem said anxiously, "Let's go in quickly and take a look. Your father and mother should be back soon."

Hanxi did not dare delay, and immediately helped her grandmother into the tavern, and asked the owner, saying that they had gone out and were not in the tavern.

Since the Old Madem didn't want to, he said that she wanted to wait at the shop. Hanxi naturally followed his grandmother and sat down.

Upstairs, Ershan had just awoken and the unfamiliar and cold faces were no longer in front of him. In this one month of hard work, he had been placed under house arrest, his daily meals were good and his drinks were good. There were people who wanted him to take care of him, but he was not allowed to leave.

He had tried all sorts of ways to escape, but none of them had succeeded. Although it was unlikely that someone would hit him because of this, they were getting impatient, so he finally thought of a hunger strike. Even if he died, he wouldn't be locked up for a lifetime without knowing why.

"We didn't even wait for you to come home before we found our way to the capital. You really are in trouble." The Xiaowan said with tears in his eyes, "God bless us, Ershan, you are truly worried for us."

Lian Yi held Ershan's hand tightly, she could not say anything. If the one she loved could come back alive, then she would be willing to do whatever the heavens wanted her to do in the future.

"Ershan, you rest first. With us here, no one will capture you again." The Xiaowan said, she looked at Lian Yi, "I'll leave him to you."

Lian Yi nodded with tears in her eyes. Xiaowan was about to leave without worry, but then she turned around and Ershan called out to her.

"My brother …" The moment Ershan opened his mouth, tears fell like rain, "Xiaowan, how did my brother die?"

Xiaowan's heart was twisted, she shook her head: "An accident like falling off a cliff, no one wants to, Ershan, you rest first. If you still care about him, take care of your body and prepare for the conference in August to be a useful person to the country and the people. "

She did not turn back her head and rushed outside the door. The moment she mentioned Ling Chaofeng, it felt as if his body was going to be torn apart. She wanted to stay calm.

Holding onto the railing, he saw a white-haired Old Madem and a young lady sitting in the hall.

Although there were rich and powerful people everywhere in the capital, the inn was still a market, and the local nobles didn't usually come.

The people downstairs also saw Xiaowan.

They looked at each other, and the Xiaowan nodded in a friendly manner. She turned her gaze away and was about to leave when she heard someone call out to her from downstairs, "My wife, are you Ling Yu's family?"

Xiaowan was startled. She looked at the shopkeeper below and helplessly nodded, meaning that they were looking for Ling.

Old Madem did not wait for Xiaowan to agree as he shakily climbed up the stairs. When Xiaowan saw the old man working so hard, he unconsciously reached out to support him.

"My wife, are you Ling Yu's family? Who are you to him? "

Old Madem saw that Xiaowan was very young, with her hair tied up in a bun. She did not dare call him by any random name, and even thought that she might be the industry's own daughter-in-law.

At this point, the Xiaowan simply confronted him openly, and said: "I am Ling Yu's sister-in-law, why do I know my Ershan."

"So it's his sister-in-law. What about his brother?" Old Madem looked around, her eyes filled with anticipation. She wanted to thank this family for bringing up her grandson.

"Hubby is no longer here. He left in three months." Xiaowan lowered her eyes.

"Where did you go?" Hanxi was young, so she couldn't understand what she meant.

But when the Old Madem saw Xiaowan's expression and simple yet elegant makeup, he immediately understood. It was a pity that good people did not live long, and he only said: "I wanted to thank you all for raising my industry, but who would have thought … Sister-in-law, please forgive me. "

Old Madem followed Ershan and called him "Madam Sister-in-law". Naturally, Xiaowan did not dare to accept and wanted to carry her down to talk.

He did not know what was happening outside and immediately asked: "Xiaowan, I will go and get some medicine for Ershan."

Everyone was startled, the Old Madem thought for a bit and asked in surprise: "Is the industry here?"

Furthermore, Ershan's real name was Ling Wu, and his family called him Ershan. Furthermore, his real name was Ling Wu, and he was a good person.

Only his grandmother, who cared about his grandson, could understand.

The old man barged in without explanation and saw his grandson lying on the bed. Beside the bed sat a young and beautiful girl, but at this moment, she could not see anyone except her grandson.

The Old Madem looked up and down while supporting Ershan's arm, he said worriedly: "How are you so skinny? Industry, did they mistreat you?"

"Grandma, did you know that I was arrested by him and placed under house arrest?" Ershan asked.

Old Madem was conflicted. He stiffly nodded and said while holding onto his heart: "He promised me, as long as your brother can smoothly pass the top scorer's test, after the exam is over, he will bring you back home. He said that if you hinder Zhenye's future, that woman would definitely not forgive him. At that time, our family would not be able to return home, and we would lose all our face. I promised him, I... But I didn't expect him to mistreat you. "

The matter was a little complicated, and the people present were all confused. Bi Hanxi even more so, did Grandmother know where her grandson was?

Old Madem said that she was afraid that his son would betray her and that he would tell his daughter-in-law in advance. He was afraid that Mrs. Bi would harm the industry.

Uncle Biao, Xiaowan, and Lian Yi were all confused. They only understood after Ershan told them everything honestly.

Ershan was the second son of the original wife of the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi. When he was six years old, he lost his birth mother and was sent out of the capital.

What happened afterwards, was that during the Ling Xiao Inn for more than ten years, Uncle Biao knew about it, but not a single person knew. Ershan had always understood who he was and where he had come from.

The problem in front of him was that after Old Madem recognized his grandson, he wholeheartedly wanted the industry to recognize him as its ancestor. However, Ershan had requested for him to recognize him after obtaining the title, otherwise, he would disappear without a trace. Old Madem was worried, so he promised Ershan that it would be kept a secret, but in the end, he was forced to tell Ershan by his son.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi came to a consensus with his mother, saying that in order to protect the industry, they would lock him up first and bring him home after Zhenye obtains his title.

Old Madem was moved by his son and actually agreed to it.

At this moment, Ershan coldly said: "He never thought of letting me back, he will keep me under house arrest for a lifetime, or directly kill me."

Old Madem shook his hands and said, "That won't happen, in the industry, your father has promised me …"

Ershan smiled bitterly and asked his grandmother: "You have never thought about how my mother died?"

Old Madem was startled, and replied: "Didn't she die of illness?"

Ershan sighed lightly, avoiding his grandmother's gaze, and said to Uncle Biao and Xiaowan: "Uncle, sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to send my grandmother out, I'm tired."

"Industry..."

"Old granny, you should leave first. Your child can't take the pain off his body. If there's anything you need, you can come back in a few days to discuss it." Uncle Biao stepped forward and blocked his path. Looking at how tall and sturdy he was, Hanxi was a little afraid.

After waiting for someone to go empty in the room, Lian Yi had not woken up yet. After hearing Ershan coughing, she came back to her senses and quickly went to pour him a cup of water.

Lian Yi brought the teacup in front of Ershan, but Ershan took the opportunity to hold her hand. "I've been hiding this from everyone, and you as well."

"Take care of yourself first. Nothing else is important." Lian Yi said, "Regardless of whether your surname is Ling or Bi, I do not care, as long as you are fine, I will be satisfied."

"Lian Yi, I'm sorry, I did not accomplish anything, and I made you worry about making you run errands for me." Ershan said, "Now that my brother is no longer here, I can't hold onto those grudges any longer. I have to take care of the tavern and the Xiaowan, compared to them, anyone within the Prime Minister's Estate is insignificant. "Don't worry, I'll pull myself together and do what I have to do."

Lian Yi nodded his head, "I have always trusted you. I know that you will not abandon me."

In front of the door, Xiaowan originally wanted to ask Ershan a few more questions, but when she saw him and Lian Yi embracing, she could not help but reveal a smile, and gently closed the door.

Ershan was safe and sound, a stone fell from her heart, but his mind suddenly went blank, not knowing what to do next.

Returning to the Baisha Town, continuing to operate the inn, or would he stay here to protect Ershan until he successfully participated in the examination?

Xiaowan shook her head. She remembered that she should go and thank Wei Tengfei first.

At this moment, Wei Tengfei was in his Qingming Pavilion, reporting this matter to the emperor.

It was not him betraying the Xiaowan, but was instead related to the leader of the imperial court. He could not treat it as a private matter, after experiencing Ling Chaofeng's incident, he wanted Ling Chaofeng to understand the emperor's intention, and that it was best to not let him suspect anyone.

After Xiang Run heard this, he sighed lightly, "I never thought that they would cause such a ruckus. It's also good to save them, if not the Xiaowan and the rest would be worried for them."

Wei Tengfei said: "This matter happened too suddenly, and I was unable to report to the Emperor. This subject has done so, I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."

The emperor was actually very young, around ten years younger than Wei Tengfei. However, the Tian Family's qi image, the majesty of an emperor, Xiang Run had been mature and mature since he was young. Even when standing in front of Wei Tengfei, he could not see the difference of ten years.

He said: "If Ling Tian does not have any abilities, it can be considered that I have misjudged him. Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi is my father's highly regarded subject, he has built a great family in the country, so there is no need for me to interfere in family matters."

Wei Tengfei did not say anything. Xiang Run then continued: "Do you want to go to Prime Minister's Estate to pass on my words to him? Does he want to be an inn runner or a young master? "You should think about what to say."

"Yes." Wei Tengfei accepted the order.

"Leaving you behind in the capital is actually dealing with domestic matters." Xiang Run laughed, "After this matter is over, you should return to the Chuanyu.

"This official dares not."

"However, I won't be able to see Xiaowan once I return to the Chuanyu." Suddenly, the emperor stabbed into his uncle's heart. "Tengfei, for the Xiaowan, you have done your best."
