After the corruption case in Ganzhou was exposed, and a series of events followed, Liao Zhiqi was released. However, both of Liao Zhiqi's legs were broken. He did not see a doctor while in prison. After his family brought him back, they hired a doctor to examine him and break both of his legs again and set them. He is still recuperating in the backyard.
A few days ago, Liao Zhixia gave birth to a boy. Liao Zhixia has not recovered and cannot say who abused her. Mr. Liao can only take good care of the mother and son in the backyard.
Hearing about the family's plight, even Guard Cheng turned red with anger. Xu Rao said, "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice."
Old Mr. Liao waved his hand and said, “Lord Xu, I’ve inquired around. The one who bullied my daughter back then was the Third Prince. After the Third Prince came to Ganzhou, he lived in the back residence of the prefectural government. It just so happened that he was drunk that day. My daughter went to plead her case, and the prefect dragged her to the back residence, intending to scare her and send her out. But the Third Prince saw them and dragged my daughter into the house. The prefect wanted to silence her, but there were too many people who saw it, so he gave my daughter a drug that would make her lose her mind. That’s why my daughter is like this today.

Xu Rao sighed and said, "Old sir, the capital is a very dangerous place right now. I won't hide it from you. Several princes are vying for power. If you go there like this, I'm afraid you'll be used by others. There's a lot of intrigue going on there right now. If things go wrong, your whole family could be implicated. My wife is very skilled in medicine. I'll have her come and give your daughter a proper diagnosis and treatment. If she can recover, great. If not, we'll wait for the right opportunity. What do you think?"
Mr. Liao sighed and said, "I know that's the truth, but I don't know if our family's grievances can be brought to light and if we can get justice."
Xu Rao said, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people; it's just a matter of time. Sir, let's be patient."
