When Fusheng came back, he heard the sound of reading from his grandmother's room.

Fusheng asked Mo Yu quietly. After knowing Xiaoman's situation, he said to Mo Yu: "I will ask Pingchengfu to pay attention to it and see if there are any families who reported the case and lost their children. If there are, they will send them back."

Mo Yu hurriedly said, "Xiaoman doesn't want to go back, and the old lady also said that she doesn't need to send her away. Master Fusheng, Xiaoman is in a different situation than you."

Fusheng thought for a moment, smiled and said to Mo Yu, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll ask my grandmother and the boss later."

Mo Yu was still worried. Young Master Fusheng grew up with the Duke of the Kingdom and learned from the righteousness of the Duke of the Kingdom. If he had to use filial piety to measure this matter, Xiaoman would still send it back to his legitimate mother. The legitimate mother believed that Xiaoman had died of his biological son, so how could he treat him well?

If he was still in his hometown and had tribesmen to take care of his clan, his mother might be able to endure it. But now that he has come to Xinjing, even his grandmother has left. His mother is the only one, how could she let the concubine grow up safely and inherit the family business?

Mo Yu sighed, and Fusheng had to comfort her when he saw it, which made Mo Yu feel embarrassed and quickly walked away with the excuse of doing needlework.

Seeing Mo Yu leave, Fusheng sighed. The family, young and old, Li Qiniang and his daughter, were all women who had the right to speak, and he could not afford to offend anyone.

Fusheng went to find Li Qiniang first. Li Qiniang was baking pies. When he saw Fusheng, he smiled and said, "Don't hurry to leave first, bring some pies back and try them for the Duke."

Fusheng smiled and said that he couldn't eat the food made by the boss's wife for a while, and the Duke's complexion was not good.

He found a bench in the kitchen and sat down, and had a chat with Li Qiniang without a word.

"Boss, I heard that Xiaoman doesn't want to go home. What about you, will you keep him at home from now on?"

Li Qiniang turned the pie over and said with a smile: "The children are all gusts of wind and showers. Let's take a look in a few days. If Xiaoman wants to go back, I will send him back. If he wants to stay, let him stay. The child is very sensible. When peace comes, I will send him to school."

Fusheng thought about it, and maybe after a while, Xiaoman himself wanted to go home. He felt that he was worried a little early and asked again: "If Xiaoman wants to stay in the future, do you want to adopt him as his adopted son?"

Li Qiniang put down the spatula in her hand and turned around: "Thinking about the past, if it were not adopted by my father, I would not be as good as me now. Although Xiaoman and I have a different situation, if he was willing to stay, I would raise him as a son. I don't need him to support me or repay his kindness. In the future, he can go back and recognize his ancestors."

Fusheng's heart was warm, and his eyes looked at Li Qiniang with a little more respect.

The same was true when the Duke of the State adopted him.

"Okay, if Xiaoman decides to stay, you tell me and I'll go and get his household registration."

After Li Qiniang and Yan Zhaoshi divorced, they became independent of the female household. According to the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty, if there is no husband or child, a female household can be established, and if there is no service or tax reduction, the female household can be exempted from service and tax reduction.

If Xiaoman becomes Li Qiniang's adopted son, Li Qiniang will not be able to establish a female household, and can only use money to replace service, and taxes cannot be reduced or exempted.

Fusheng felt that it was really not possible, so he put Xiaoman in his home, so that Li Qiniang could still keep the female household.

In fact, this is very unreasonable. Many widows have a hard life with their young sons, but they still have to deal with the labor taxes sent by the yamen. It would be fine if there were tribe members to help them, but if there weren't, the life would be too torment.

Fusheng asked Mrs. Ye again, and Mrs. Ye was firm in his attitude: "I am old and I have never seen anything. If the child goes back, he will either be raised to die or be abandoned. You think he is reuniting his family, but in fact this is a sin. If you dare to go to the yamen to report, I will ask to see Duke Ding and ask him to punish you."

Mrs. Ye was reluctant to punish her grandson, so she handed over the matter to the Duke of Dingguo.

Fusheng said a few words in his heart, "I can't afford to offend him." He really can't afford to offend him.

However, Li Qiniang's pie was really delicious. I ate several Fusheng. When I left, I not only brought the pie, but also brought a few side dishes that Li Qiniang made himself.

Qi Wei guessed that Fusheng was about to come back, so he asked several staff members to retreat and handle official duties in the study.

Not long after, Fusheng came back, and as expected, he brought back a lot of food.

"Dude, this is the pie baked by the boss's wife. It's a little cold. The boss's wife advised Mrs. Chang to use a pan to heat it again and again before eating. There are also these side dishes that are very clear and you can eat porridge."

Qi Wei smiled and said, "You send it to the kitchen and eat these for lunch."

Fusheng was stunned. When did the Duke of the State get used to eating midnight snacks? In the past, he used to eat once a few snacks occasionally.

Seeing that Fusheng stood still, Qi expressed his condolences and said, "Is your family okay?"

Fusheng hurriedly said, "It's okay..."

When the words came to his mouth, he felt that he should not tell the prince about Xiaoman. The child's mind would change as soon as he could. Maybe next time he went home, Xiaoman would have sent it back.

Don’t tell me such a small matter, so you can cause trouble for the prince.

Fusheng didn't say anything. In the Fu Palace, Empress Dowager Hu was panicked, but after calming down, he also decided not to say anything.

Chai Ran is gone!

Until now, Empress Dowager Hu can't believe that this is true.

But it is true, it is true.

A few days ago, the Empress Dowager suddenly decided to go to Bailu Mountain to live. Before that, Empress Dowager Hu also heard about the news, but the Empress Dowager did not say it clearly. She could only pretend not to know, but she was so angry.

The people on the Empress Dowager's side were packing things quietly, but they did not notify her. This means that the Empress Dowager and Chai Ran were the only ones who wanted to live in Bailu Mountain, but not her.

Empress Dowager Hu immediately called the people from the Fu Palace to ask, and after asking, he found out that Bailu Mountain was not only a villa of the Fu Palace, but also a place for the nobles of the previous dynasty to avoid disaster!

Even the road to the mountain is built to avoid disaster.
