"Madam, Brother Xuan has woken up."
Yang Zhao did not follow him to the government office, but asked Xia Ying to take the person there.
She deliberately took a small path to avoid the people sent by the old lady to stop her and returned to Xuan Ge'er's courtyard.
Dong Shuang calmly handed over a handkerchief: "That woman just came back and is in the house."
Yang Zhao took the handkerchief, glanced at the room, and raised the corner of his lips slightly: "Let someone pass the news to the old lady. I've been busy all night and I'm tired. It's about time I go back to recuperate."
"yes."
Dong Shuang thought of something and hurriedly whispered a reminder: "Don't touch your eyes too much with the handkerchief, it will sting."
"Go ahead."
inside the house.
Xuan Ge'er groaned in pain, and Wei Ya'er cried as she watched him, but she could only try her best to use medicine to relieve his pain.
"Xuan'er, be good, just bear with it, mother..."
"Brother Xuan!"
Yang Zhao was supported by the maid into the house. When he sat down on the bed and saw Xuan Ge'er who had woken up, tears began to fall from his eyes: "Xuan Ge'er, my poor Xuan Ge'er..."
"Don't shed your tears on him."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao immediately wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, but the tears seemed to remain. In the end, she could only turn her back, shaking her shoulders as if she was trying to hold back tears.
Wei Yaer looked at it and was slightly stunned.
After a while, Yang Zhao seemed to calm down. With red and swollen eyes, she gently comforted Xuan Ge'er who had just woken up. "Don't be afraid, Xuan Ge'er. Mother is here. Mother will definitely protect you and seek justice for you..."
Xuan Ge'er's eyes were filled with tears.
And at this time.
Old Madam Shen came hurriedly, supported by Mrs. Li.
The first thing he did after arriving was to ask coldly, "Yang Zhao, I heard that you tied up the grandson of Patriarch Shen and took him to see the officials? And you also tied up several children from other courtyards?"
"yes!"
"Nonsense, who gave you the courage?"
"Madam, Xuan'er was adopted by me, so he's my son. I sent someone to investigate overnight. It was Shen Wenrui who deliberately poured wine on Xuan'er and set off firecrackers to burn him. I must seek justice for Xuan'er."
"There's no need to send someone to the authorities to seek justice..."
"Then what does Old Madam say about asking for it?" Yang Zhao interrupted Old Madam Shen excitedly, "At the beginning, I said I didn't agree with Xuan'er's adoption. It was you, Old Madam, who said Xuan'er was a good child and that after he was adopted, you would treat him like your own great-grandson and wouldn't let anyone mistreat him. But he's only been adopted by me for a short while, and he's already been deliberately harmed by the children of the clan..."
Yang Zhao's voice choked with sobs, and he angrily said with great pain, "Old Madam, please open your eyes and look at what Xuan Ge'er looks like now. He is only five years old, still a child. Those tribesmen deliberately harmed him to this state. Why did they do it on purpose? Can't Old Madam guess at all?"
"They can't stand the fact that Brother Xuan doesn't have the blood of the Shen family. He was born a beggar, but he became the eldest son of our Shen family's legitimate lineage. He actually suppresses them. They are jealous, dissatisfied, and deliberately murderous..."
Wei Yaer's pupils shrank sharply.
No wonder, no wonder those kids wanted to hurt Xuan Ge'er on purpose, it turned out to be because...
Yang Zhao's face was filled with unbearable sorrow. "Old Madam, you don't remember what you said about treating Xuan Ge'er as your own great-grandson, but I remember that you were afraid of offending the clan leader and didn't dare to seek justice for him. I, Yang Zhao, am not afraid."
"Xuan Ge'er is my son. As his mother, if I don't support him and seek justice for him, those members of the clan will only ostracize him further and do even more outrageous things... I, I absolutely won't... I won't allow it..."
Before he could finish his words, Yang Zhao's body swayed and he fell straight down.
"lady!"
Dong Shuang had already made preparations. She rushed over quickly and hugged the fallen Yang Zhao, crying out loudly: "Hurry up, help my wife back home, and go get a doctor."
Several maids and old women came in quickly from outside the door.
Before Dong Shuang left, she looked at Old Madam Shen with tears in her eyes and said, "Old Madam, no one is more distressed than my Madam that the young master is injured. She treats the young master as her own son. To support him, she ignored her injuries that had not yet healed and managed to complete the ancestral worship. Last night, she stood guard at the door all night, and early this morning she went to seek justice for the young master. Even if she had a body of iron, she couldn't bear it. Please, old madam, for the sake of your deep love for your son, don't embarrass our Madam anymore!"
After saying that, Dong Shuang bowed and hurried out the door.
From beginning to end, Old Madam Shen didn't say a word...
"grandmother."
Shen Li came and he just heard everything at the door.
When Mrs. Shen saw him, she came to her senses and asked with a frown, "Li'er, what should we do?" It was impossible to ask Yang Zhao to release the person. The person had fainted. Even if she hadn't fainted, looking at her excited attitude just now, I'm afraid she would not let it go.
She really didn't expect that Yang Zhao would care so much about Xuan Ge'er.
Chen Li glanced at Xuan Ge'er and Wei Ya'er on the bed, his eyes flickering slightly. "Send someone to the government office first and bring those children back. We must not let this matter escalate. I will go see the clan leader in person later."
I didn't want to show up myself.
Now I have to do it myself.
That Yang Zhao...
It will really get you into trouble.
But for some reason, thinking about what she had just said, he couldn't help but think of her appearance when she appeared on horseback in front of the city gate that year, and his heart suddenly felt itchy for some reason...
It's time to strike back, my fellow tribesmen.
