A few days later, the little boy came back from school very excited, "Mom, mom, Dalin and Xiaolin's father was really beaten."

Yu Zhi was arranging flowers. Hearing this, he put down the scissors in his hand and asked casually: "Who beat me?"

"Da Lin and Xiao Lin's uncle, mother, they have three uncles. Xiao Lin said that his eldest uncle and second uncle didn't do anything, but it was his third uncle who beat him. His third uncle was very strong and knocked down his father with one punch.

"The little boy was gesticulating with excitement, and at the end he said with great regret, "Why don't I have an uncle?" He was not greedy, as long as he had one.

Yu Zhi's mood was complicated. This unlucky boy, you really want your father to be beaten? Even if you have an uncle, do you think he would dare to beat your father? I don't see that your eldest uncle and second uncle are a little timid in front of your father?

"How was the matter of Dalin and Xiaolin's studies resolved in the end?" Yu Zhi asked.

Xiaozaizi said: "Of course I continued studying. Their family and Dalin's three uncles also went to the school to find Master Kang. Master Kang praised Dalin and Xiaolin, saying that they were talented. As long as they were not distracted, they could still become a scholar.

"Xiao Lin secretly told me that his grandfather scolded his father when he got home, and his stepmother was also scolded by his grandmother. Now his father doesn't dare to scold them at all times." The little boy is very happy for his good brother.

.

"Why didn't his grandfather care about him before?" Yu Zhi was curious.

Xiao Zaizi said: "His family is divided. Dalin and Xiaolin's father is the youngest son, and their grandparents live with their uncle. Dalin said that his grandfather and grandmother don't like the man his father married later, and they don't usually go to his house.

.”

Yu Zhi thought thoughtfully and took the opportunity to teach him, "You see, you still have to be capable at any time. Just relying on external forces may work for a while, but it won't last long. Just like Da Lin and Xiao Lin, if they are not good at their homework,

Will his grandfather and grandmother support them so resolutely? After all, the stepmother also gave birth to two sons. Even if they don't like the daughter-in-law they married, the children she gave birth to are still their grandchildren!"

Seeing the obvious confusion in the little boy's eyes, Yu Zhi continued: "They are also grandchildren, so they can't be too kind to one another. In the hearts of the elders, they are all brothers, and everything will be happy if the family is harmonious. What's more, their father just won't let Dalin

When Xiao Lin studies, he is not abusing them."

The little boy's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Just like my grandfather who always wants to make peace between his father and his second uncle?"

"You still know about He Xini?" Yu Zhi was surprised.

"Of course I understand!" Xiao Zaizi looked proud, "They thought I didn't understand and they didn't avoid me when they spoke. I think my grandfather probably knew that my second uncle was not very smart and always wanted dad to help.

He, dad hums like this, mom, let me teach you, dad has this expression."

The little boy squinted his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face drooped... He interpreted the word "disdain" very well. Don't tell me, he really looks like his father.

"My father definitely doesn't want to."

Yu Zhi was overjoyed, "Zai'er, how do you know your father doesn't want to do it? After all, they are brothers."

"It's not like I'm a mother-in-law. My second uncle has wronged me and had a quarrel with our family. Can dad help him?" The little boy didn't agree, and even used himself as an example, "Just like me, my classmates in school bullied me.

, he also said bad things about me behind my back, and he also wanted to copy my homework, and there was no way he could get away with it."

Yu Zhi became even happier, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right! Zai'er is so smart!" She hugged the baby, feeling that he was a little bit of a villain, "That's right, Zai'er, let's do this

A child who is civilized and polite cannot say bad words."

"I got it." The little boy said obediently. He was like this in front of his mother, and even in front of his father. Who wouldn't praise him as a good, sensible and polite boy?

While the mother and son were chattering, Wen Jiuxiao came back. When she saw that her son had occupied his wife again, she quietly drove him away to do his homework.

"Is something wrong?" Yu Zhi asked.

Was there something wrong with him driving his son away? Could it be that he wanted to be with her? Wen Jiuxiao was heartbroken, but still nodded, "Well, Zhou Mao is back."

Zhou Mao? Who? Yu Zhi looked over puzzled.

Wen Jiuxiao reminded, "You are blessed."

Yu Zhi immediately understood that Zhou Mao was the person sent by Wen Jiuxiao to confirm whether Bai Youfu was in the exile. "This

Are you back soon?" Yu Zhi was surprised.

You know, traveling in ancient times was not as convenient as in modern times. Five hundred miles is nothing to modern people, but in ancient times, it would take several days to walk five hundred miles. In addition, you have to inquire about some news, and you have to go back and forth.

It has to be a month younger, right?

"It's not too late. It took more than two days to get the news." Wen Jiuxiao said, "Do you want to see him? I asked him to come over."

Yu Zhi thought for a moment and refused, "No, he's tired from running around for days, so let him have a good rest. Just tell me the result. Is that guy Bai Youfu trying to kill himself?" He's not even halfway through the journey yet.

, the leg was broken. If you are such a monster, you can imagine that you will not be honest in the second half.

Wen Jiuxiao shook his head slowly, "I haven't seen anyone. There is no such person as Bai Youfu in the entire exile. It's not that there is no one named Bai Youfu. It's just that this Bai Youfu is a strong man and not Bai Youfu from Duke Bai's mansion at all."

"Impostor! How dare Lord Bai Guogong? Five hundred miles is not that far, so he is not afraid of being found out? Also, where is the real Bai Youfu?"

"I think Bai Guogong doesn't know about this. He is not that stupid." He has already taken care of everything and sent people to take care of him with money. Bai Youfu will not suffer a lot, and Bai Guogong will not be stupid and cheat.

It is your sin.

"Who could that be?"

"It is most likely that Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai did it behind Duke Bai's back."

"Ah?" Yu Zhi was even more surprised.

"Zhou Mao was afraid that traces would be exposed, so he did not dare to go to the local officials. However, he found out that the local magistrate's ancestral home was Changnan, and Mrs. Bai's natal family was from that place."

"You mean Mrs. Bai knows the county magistrate?"

Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Even if we don't know each other, we still have some connections."

Yu Zhi thought, "Could it be that Bai Youfu went to Changnan?"

"No." Wen Jiuxiao said with certainty, "Changnan is too far away. Mrs. Bai is reluctant to let her grandson endure hardship. It is possible that the Bai family's ancestral home is only three or four hundred miles away from the place of exile."

Yu Zhi's heart stirred again, "Did you choose such a place intentionally when you were exiled?"

"It's hard to say." Wen Jiuxiao also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. After a pause, he added: "Zhou Mao still attracted the attention of others when he was inquiring about the news. He did not dare to go to the ancestral home of the Bai family, so he came back first.

Anyway, when we are investigating Duke Bai, his ancestral home cannot be ignored. I will just send someone over."

Yu Zhi nodded, she always felt that as long as she found the thread in the fog in front of her, everything could be solved.
