"If the Right Commander wants to find someone or something from me... I hope you can take back that idea. We are just a pair of orphans and widows, and we can't help the Right Commander."

"Mrs. Jiang is worrying too much." The right commander said, "The princess' fiefdom is the entire Xuzhou, as well as all the counties and towns under Xuzhou, and does not involve the capital area. Prince Duan said that you can spend the rest of your life safely."

Jiang Wei curled his lips and smiled: "In that case, that's good, then I won't disturb the commander-in-chief to do his work."

After saying that, Jiang Wei turned around and left, walking towards the prison in the county government office.

There was a man standing in front of the prison door.

The man had wrapped a thick coarse cloth around his head again. When he saw Jiang Wei coming over, he subconsciously lowered his eyes.

Jiang Wei stopped in front of him and asked calmly, "How are the two people inside?"

The man replied, "He was probably so scared that he went crazy and kept shouting that he wanted to see Princess Xiao..."

Jiang Wei frowned slightly: "Go in and take a look."

The two walked into the prison.

Ever since Magistrate Lu was dismissed from his post, the county government of Qingping County has been leaderless. The culprit, the second son of the Li family, was ignored by everyone and was directly thrown into jail.

When Jiang Wei arrived at the place where the two elders of the Li family were imprisoned, he saw that they didn't care about being in prison at all, and shouted at the yamen runners beside them: "... Do you know who I am! My granddaughter is a princess personally appointed by the emperor, and we are her grandparents. You yamen runners, let us out!"

The yamen runners next to them did not treat them well at all and did not even look at them.

Old Master Li was angry and anxious. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Wei coming towards him and rushed towards him like a madman.

"Jiang, you are finally here. Please ask Xiaoxiao to let us out. We know we are wrong and we will never do it again. She is now a princess appointed by the emperor himself. I think she doesn't want to ruin her reputation and be known as an unfilial person, right?"

Jiang Wei glanced at him coldly: "Are you worthy of calling her Xiaoxiao?"

After that, she stepped aside to let the man behind her pass and said, "As for whether Xiaoxiao is your granddaughter, let your biological son explain it to you."

The man took a step forward and took off the rough cloth on his face again, revealing a face covered with scars without an inch of good skin.

When Mr. Li saw that face, his scalp went numb and he had an indescribable feeling.

But he still asked, "What do you mean? Isn't he the person hired by the Sun family to pretend to be my son?"

The man slowly said, "Five years ago, my father pushed me out to do corvée service in order to collect the twenty taels of silver for my eldest brother to study at the town academy. That year, I was only seventeen years old...Does father still remember this?"

Mr. Li's face turned pale instantly, and he kept saying, "No, it's impossible... Shougen has already gone out to serve in the army, how could he be here..."

The man looked at his panicked and frightened appearance, and raised the corners of his lips coldly: "Father, do you know what kind of torture I have suffered during the past five years outside?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his scarred cheek, and spoke clearly, "I was cruelly whipped, dragged by horses, burned with fire tongs, and scalded with hot oil... Over the years, I lived in agony every day. I thought I would never see you alive again... Unexpectedly, I survived."

Mr. Li had collapsed to the ground, his hands and feet trembling, and he didn't dare to look at the man in front of him.

But the other person slowly squatted down and forced him to look at the scarred face. "The reason I was able to survive is because I always thought about you two. I want to come back to find you in person... so that you can also experience all the torture I have experienced."

“No, no…” Mr. Li shook his head in fear, shrinking behind Mrs. Li. “You are not Li Shougen! You are not my son at all! My son is dead, it’s not you…”

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, the man smiled and continued, "As for the granddaughter you mentioned... Oh, father, do you still remember that the night before I left was my wedding night? My mother sent me to give money to my eldest brother, and I didn't even have time to enter the bridal chamber. How could I have a child? How could you have a granddaughter?"

Mr. Li's eyes widened in disbelief. Then, he looked at Mrs. Li, who had already lowered her head in guilt, and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Old Mrs. Li lowered her head, not daring to look at Old Man Li, and her mouth was tightly closed.

Mr. Li hit her like crazy: "You are so confused! Why didn't you let your son enter the bridal chamber on the night of his wedding?!"

Old Lady Li was pushed heavily to the ground by Old Man Li. She seemed a little aggrieved. She raised her head and glanced at the man outside the cell secretly, but when her eyes met the other's disfigured face, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Li Shougen was her youngest son. Before he was sent out to perform labor service, he was her most beloved son, even more so than Li Xiufen.

Although Grandpa Li devoted all her attention to her eldest son, she still remembered her original intention and gave all her love to her youngest son.

But when her youngest son was going to marry a woman who had fled from famine, she could hardly suppress her anger and jealousy, so she would not let her youngest son enter the house on the night of the wedding...

Later, she had doubts about whether Jiang was pregnant and had a child, but she didn't dare to think about it too much.

Mr. Li seemed to have vented enough and sat on the ground. After a long while, he turned his head blankly to look at Jiang Wei and said tremblingly: "So, that, that child is..."

Jiang Wei smiled lightly: "As you think, of course I gave birth to the child secretly with someone else."

"Jiang! You bitch!!"

Hearing this, Old Lady Li rushed towards Jiang Wei like a madman, but was blocked by the prison door. However, she still cursed viciously: "You fickle bitch! How did my son do you wrong? Why did you go out and cheat on him? Ah, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Old lady Li banged on the door frantically, as if she wanted to rush out and cut Jiang Wei into pieces.

Seeing this, the yamen runner nearby chopped Old Lady Li unconscious with a single blow of his hand.

My ears suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Wei looked at the bailiff with gratitude.

When Mr. Li saw that Mrs. Li had fainted, he was so scared that he dared not say anything. He could only shrink into the corner, looking at the man for help.

Jiang Wei ignored him and asked the man, "What do you want to do with them?"

The man said, "Let them go."

Jiang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to take them to Mobei." The man looked at Mr. Li in the prison, his voice without any emotion, "I said, I want them to experience all the pain I've suffered before." (End of this chapter)
