After a few seconds passed, Dongfang Ming's voice rang out. "Let's go back."

Since they weren't here, there was no way he would wait here, right? He could only come back another day.

"Okay." The coachman drove the carriage out of the forest and went back the way they had come.

Grandma Liu went to town to buy basic necessities. She looked very absent-minded and miserable, as if she was sick.

Suddenly, she heard the voice of someone she hadn't heard in a long time...her youngest son, Liu Quanfu? She suddenly became very excited and, with brightened eyes, looked all around her for him.

As long as she asked him to ask Liu Duo and the others to retract the accusation paper, her oldest grandson would not have to hide outside and be afraid of going home for fear of being put into prison!

She looked to the left and to the right and finally saw Liu Quanfu at the entrance of a small shop.

"Quanfu, Quanfu…" Grandma Liu immediately shouted and walked towards him.

Liu Quanfu was currently moving things. When he heard someone calling him, he looked towards the source of the sound and saw his own mother walking towards him. She was walking so fast that she almost fell down.

When Grandma Liu was near him, she immediately said, "Quanfu, you are now the only person who can save Qing Er! Quickly go and tell Duo to retract the accusation paper towards Qing Er, okay? Your mother is begging you."

Liu Quanfu had no idea what was going on. He frowned when he heard her, "What happened? Why did Duo submit an accusation paper against Qing Er?"

What exactly happened that made her go so far as to submit an accusation paper?

When Grandma Liu heard him, she recounted to him what had happened while sobbing. In the end, she emphasized, "They almost beat Qing Er to death. He already received his punishment, so please go ask them not to report it to the officials, okay? Quanfu, you have to save Qing Er! Mother is begging you…"

When Liu Quanfu finished listening to this, he frowned and said, "I won't go look for Duo Er. Since Qing Er dared to do something like this, he will need to bear the consequences!"

The person who had been kidnapped was his youngest son!

Although he hadn't hurt a hair on his body, he would definitely not go and help beg for mercy for him, no matter whether he was close or distant to him. Liu Ran was the one who was his son! His daughter was outraged by an injustice done upon Liu Ran, so why would he go and beg for mercy for the person who had hurt his son?

When Grandma Liu heard what he said, she immediately cried and screamed, "Quanfu please, mother is begging you. Please help Qing Er…"

She pulled and shook him with all her might.

The vendors and pedestrians around them were all criticizing him very harshly.

Liu Quanfu heard the discussions around him. He frowned and threw Grandma Liu's hands away. "I still need to work. I can't help you with this! Moreover, we already broke relations with Duo Er so I'm not related to her. Why would she listen to me?"

He didn't want to bother with this anymore after he finished speaking. He picked up a sack and prepared to head into the store.

However, Grandma Liu pulled him. She frowned and said fiercely, "You unfilial son, is that any way to speak to your mother? Mother already begged you but you still choose not to help. Do you even have a conscience? Why did I give birth to such a useless person… to such an unfilial son. It would've been better if I hadn't given birth to you! Not only do you not give your own birth mother filial piety money, but you also let her husbands physically attack me…"

Liu Quanfu couldn't go because she was pulling him. He frowned so heavily he could have killed a mosquito.

As he listened to her, his already broken heart became even angrier!

"Enough!"

Liu Quanfu threw the sack that was on his shoulder away. He looked into Grandma Liu's eyes with an extremely fiery gaze that seemed like it was going to burn her up. It scared her so much that she unconsciously took a step back.

His sudden outburst also gave the vendors around them a fright!

After all, all this time they had known Liu Quanfu as an honest, dutiful, and capable man. They had never seen him get so angry before.
