Chapter 371 Has His Highness the Imperial Grandson been kidnapped?
"After finding out the truth, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to release the little girl's family. His Highness said that if they didn't mention seeking help from the mountain bandits, they should pretend nothing had happened. If they did mention it, he should take the little girl's brother to see him."
Hei Bao raised an eyebrow. "Did they mention it?"
"Yes, he did. When the girl's husband heard that she could go home, he asked me why. I said that my master happened to be passing by and heard that someone had put righteousness before family, so he inquired about it. Upon hearing this, he immediately said that the girl was guilty, that he had been forced to seek help from the bandits, and that he was willing to be punished."
Hei Bao smiled. "He's quite clever." Gou Dan didn't want anyone to mention it because he wanted to see if they would bring it up on their own.
"How did His Highness the Imperial Grandson punish him?" Although he was forced to seek help from the bandits, this was not the right way and should not be encouraged.
"His Highness the Crown Prince asked him to help five innocent people, or five families, who were driven to the brink of despair like his family."
Hei Bao laughed upon hearing this. "This punishment is good." It takes into account that they were forced into it, lets them know that this kind of behavior is not encouraged, and can also help more people.
The guards also thought the punishment was just right. "Your Highness is wise. Your Highness has ordered us to send the girl back."
Hei Bao stood up from the chair. "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
"Miss Xie."
On the other side, as soon as Li Xiaojuan learned that her third brother's family had been released from prison, she came looking for them.
Seeing her third brother's family sitting in the hall, Li Xiaojuan immediately pointed at Li Laosan's family and said, "How dare you sit here? Do you know the government has arrested the old lady? Go and tell the government right now to release her. The old lady is so old, how can she bear this?"
Li Laosan's family didn't want to talk to Li Xiaojuan. But Li Laosan knew that if he ignored her, she would keep making a scene.
Li Laosan looked at Li Xiaojuan with a dark face and said, "I don't own the yamen. Do you think they'll release people just because I tell them to? Mother should have thought this day would come when she framed them."
He knew his mother disliked their branch of the family, but he never dreamed that she would conspire with others to frame them.
Li Xiaojuan wanted to slap Li Laosan. "Don't try to fool me. You must have hooked up with a big shot to get out of jail. Go tell your big shot to get the authorities to release your mother. As for the matter of your mother framing you, your mother gave birth to you and raised you. Even if your mother framed you, you should accept it."
Li Laosan was furious. "She gave me my life, and she gave my wife's life, and my daughter-in-law's life too? Get out, I don't want to see you."
"You should ask the authorities to release your mother."
"I don't have that ability."
"Of course you don't have any, but the powerful figure you're clinging to does. Go find that powerful figure now. If you don't, I'll report you to the clan chief for being unfilial."
"Go ahead and sue me."
"You...you unfilial son!" Seeing that Li Laosan was unyielding, Li Xiaojuan wanted the clan chief to put pressure on him. "Come on, let's go see the clan chief."
Li Laosan had no interest in seeing the clan chief. His youngest son hadn't returned yet, and he didn't know how that important person would punish him. "I'm busy. Go by yourself."
Li Xiaojuan said to Li Laosan while pulling him, "It's not that you don't have time, it's that you don't want to save your mother. You unfilial son."
"Let go."
"Don't let go. Come with me to see the clan chief."
"let go."
"Don't loosen it."
...
Li Xiaojuan and Li Laosan were struggling when Li Laosan's youngest son, Li Mingyu, returned. Judging from his aunt's demeanor, Li Mingyu knew what she was up to.
When the others saw Li Mingyu return, they immediately gathered around him.
"Mingyu, are you alright?"
"Mingyu, did the benefactor say how you will be punished?"
"Mingyu, how could you be so foolish?"
Li Mingyu said, "I'm fine, I'll just say a few words to my aunt first," and walked over to Li Xiaojuan.
Li Xiaojuan glanced at Li Mingyu. "What do you want to say? Let me tell you, it's unfilial of you not to save your grandmother."
“We also want to save Grandma. But this time she has broken the law.” They’re framing us and expect us to plead for her? Dream on. Li Mingyu looked at Li Xiaojuan and said, “If someone breaks the law, they must be dealt with according to the law.”
"Don't try to fob me off with the law. I know you've gotten on the good side of things. If you don't get that person to release your grandmother, I'll come to your house and cause trouble every day."
"We didn't curry favor with anyone; we were just lucky."
Li Xiaojuan didn't believe it. "Don't try to fool me, I'm not a three-year-old."
“You’re not a three-year-old. You have two sons and three daughters. If you keep coming to my house to cause trouble every day, then we’ll go visit your daughters’ in-laws and your daughters-in-law’s families every day. Tell me, how many days can your in-laws put up with that?”
"you!"
"What? Since you're not going to make things easy for my family, then none of us should live like this anymore."
"you!"
"We have other things to attend to at home, please go ahead."
Li Xiaojuan glared fiercely at Li Mingyu. "You just wait, I'm going to find the clan chief right now."
As soon as Li Xiaojuan left, Li Mingyu sat down on the ground.
The Li family was terrified.
"Mingyu, what's wrong?"
"Mingyu, don't scare your mother."
"Mingyu, are we... are we going to have to go back to jail again?"
Li Mingyu waved his hand. "I'm fine, I just wanted to rest." He actually saw the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince even talked to him for so long. He must have done a lot of good deeds in his past life.
