The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 628

"Most likely, but he's disfigured, and he doesn't seem to know me at all." Lin Siran didn't know if Li Xingjue's acting skills were too good.

But that look really didn't look fake, he didn't even show any guilt, he was only afraid of her out of guard against strangers.

"No way? Could it be an act? No... I'll go and catch him back." Huo Sijing was going to lead his troops to chase him.

Lin Siran stopped him and said, "Don't panic, I've already sent someone to follow, let's see what's going on first."

"What if he runs away?" Huo Sijing asked.

"No, if he can escape, how could he still stay in this place? And it is impossible for Thousand Layer to let him escape." Lin Sizan said, "Let's not disturb other people rashly, if he still has accomplices, he will also stay here." Where is it nearby?"

"That's right, let's wait and see!" Huo Sijing nodded in agreement.

They rested in place.

It took an hour before the thousand layers turned back.

"That woman lives in the valley over there, and she lives alone. There is a village on the other side, but this woman does not live in the village. I went to inquire, and the people in the village said that the woman was originally a A widow, her only son fell into the water and died a few years ago, so she was a little crazy."

"A few days ago, I picked up a person and raised her as a son. I even went to the village to ask a doctor to treat her son's injuries. Most likely that person is the second prince."

"It is said in the village that the crazy woman picked up a fool, and she didn't even know who she was, so she took the crazy woman as his mother."

Lin Siran frowned, could it be that Li Xingjue is really stupid?
If it's not really stupid, then it's probably just pretending to be stupid, trying to rely on the woman to avoid the pursuers.

"Master, what are you going to do now?" Huo Sijing asked.

Lin Siran said: "Since he is suspected to be the second prince, he must be taken back to the capital and handed over to His Majesty for disposal."

"The minister took someone to arrest him." Huo Sijing said.

"Remember not to hurt the innocent." Lin Sizan instructed.

Huo Sijing nodded: "Yes."

Huo Sijing waved, and led the people to the direction indicated by Qian Layer.

Qian Layer said to Lin Siran again: "This subordinate thinks that the second prince is really stupid."

"Huh?" Lin Siran looked at Qian Layer suspiciously.

"In front of that woman, he was like a three-year-old child. He refused to leave halfway and had to be coaxed by the woman before he would go back. The first thing he did when he got home was to eat the candied haws that the woman made for him. .”

"The old woman's family is very poor, and the second prince doesn't seem to dislike her at all, as if she is living a happy life."

Lin Siran frowned unconsciously after hearing this.

Li Xingjue is used to being pampered, how can he suffer such hardship?

And just looking at his clothes, they are already very worn out, and they have been patched a lot, which shows that he is really poor.

But that doesn't mean he's really stupid, maybe it's just a way of pretending?
Not long after, Huo Sijing came back with Li Xingjue.

But heard the sound of crying all the way.

"What's going on?" Lin Siran asked.

Li Xingjue was also howling, crying with a lot of tears and snot, very sloppy.

The woman behind Huo Sijing followed all the way, crying all the way.

"You let my great treasure go, but if you don't let him go, I will fight with you. Is there any justice in robbing my son in broad daylight?"

Huo Sijing had a headache, and said: "He seems to be stupid. The woman behind insists that this is her son, and she won't let her go. But we can't be cruel to a woman, so we let her cry."

"Li Xingjue!" Lin Siran yelled, "Stop pretending!"

Li Xingjue was still crying, in a way that completely disregarded his image.

"Mother... mother... Dabao is afraid... save Dabao!"

"Bad guys...you are all bad guys!"

The mother-in-law felt very distressed, and when she ran over and saw Lin Siran, she cried and knelt down: "Girl, please do me a favor, don't arrest my eldest treasure, I'm the only son, please!"

Lin Siran was stunned for a moment.

"Grandma, get up, don't do this." Lin Siran tried to pull her.

"I know...I know that you are going to arrest him, but he is not a bad person, he is just a silly boy. I picked him up from the river. He was almost dead at the time. He is my son returned to me by God. Don't catch him."

Lin Siran didn't know how to explain Li Xingjue's identity to her.

"Mother-in-law, I know him. He is not your son. He has parents. He is not here. He accidentally fell into the river and was injured." Lin Siran deliberately concealed Li Xingjue's real identity.

At this moment, a group of villagers with sticks ran up from behind.

"Who wants to rob people?"

Huo Sijing's soldiers immediately took out their weapons and stood beside Lin Siran.

"Who dares to come to our Huang Village to make trouble?"

"You misunderstood, we are only here to find this person." Huo Sijing pointed at Li Xingjue, "He is the prisoner we are arresting."

"Prisoner? It can't be a prisoner, that's a fool!" The villagers shouted, "You officials, don't charge people with crimes indiscriminately. What crimes can a fool commit? Huang Siniang is a poor widow. I just lost my son, and it was so easy to pick up one who was willing to be her son, but you still want to take it away, is there any humanity left?"

"That's right, inhumane!"

The villagers don't care what is illegal, they only do what they think is right.

Huang Siniang is from their village, and she is also a poor person. They sympathize with Huang Siniang and naturally support her.

Lin Siran realized that if Li Xingjue was to be taken away from this group of villagers, chaos would inevitably arise.

"Everyone misunderstood. What the official said just now is not right. This is not a prisoner. This is our second young master. He accidentally fell into the river and was washed here by the water. We came to him on the order of the master. .”

Lin Siran came forward to explain.

"We know that Huang Siniang is pitiful. She saved our young master. We are very grateful. Although the young master cannot stay here, we are willing to give Huang Siniang a sum of money so that she can spend her old age in peace."

Lin Siran nodded to Qian Layer.

Thousand layers took out a few gold leaves from her body.

"Mother-in-law, please accept it. Thank you for saving our second young master, but our master and wife also hope that the young master will go back soon. I'm really sorry."

Huang Siniang looked at Lin Siran, her tears blurred.

"really?"

"Is he really your young master?"

Lin Siran nodded: "Of course, our master is a high-ranking official in the capital. The young master made some mistakes and ran away from home after a big fight with the master. We have been looking for him all the time. People in your village should pay attention recently. You must have found a lot of people looking for someone nearby, right?"

"It seems that many strangers are looking for something along the river..." one of the villagers said.

Huang Siniang asked again: "Then...then why didn't your master come to him in person? Is he still angry with Dabao? Will Dabao be punished when he goes back?"

"Dabao doesn't remember the past anymore. His brain is broken. Your master is an official. Do you think Dabao is a fool?"

Huang Siniang looked at Li Xingjue worriedly, tears kept falling, which showed that she really loved Li Xingjue.
