Seeing Xie Ze's hesitation, Han Run quickly said, "Uncle Xie, please tell me what happened to my mother."
Even though Madame Han and Han Yu had divorced, she was still Han Run's biological mother. It was impossible for Han Run not to care about her.
"Don't worry, Langjun. It's not what you think." Xie Ze comforted the panicked and worried Han Run and said, "A while ago, the Lord ordered us to investigate the Tao family. Coincidentally, Langjun's mother was also living in the Tao Mansion … Therefore, she was also involved. "
Han Run's face turned pale after hearing this. His lips were pale because of the blood loss. He looked like he was going to faint at any time.
"Thank you, Uncle …" Han Run called out in a small voice. His teary eyes were filled with a few pleading words.
Xie Ze said, "Don't worry. Even if it's not for the monk's sake, it's for the Buddha's sake. Madame Han is Mr. Han's legal wife after all. She can't be treated as an ordinary prisoner. I sent people to take care of her along the way. Although it wasn't as meticulous as usual, she didn't suffer much. "
When Han Run heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and solemnly bowed to Xie Ze.
If it wasn't for Xie Ze's care, Han Run could imagine the suffering his mother might have suffered.
The Tao family was Han Run's maternal family. Xie Ze was worried that the child didn't understand the situation and hated the wrong person, so he couldn't help but say a few words.
"If it weren't for Madam Tao and the others' greed, occupying the salt business and plotting rebellion, our Lord wouldn't have been so ruthless …"
Han Run nodded dejectedly. "Grandfather and the others brought this upon themselves. I know that."
"I'm relieved now that you've said that."
An obedient and sensible child was especially likable. Xie Ze had a much better impression of Han Run.
He said, "About your mother … She will probably be fine for your father's sake. But it's hard to say for the Tao family."
Han Run said, "Uncle Xie's words make me feel much more at ease. Where is my mother now? "
Even if he couldn't save his mother, he could at least make her live a better life.
Xie Ze said, "She's in prison. If you go to see her, remember to ask someone to prepare some clean clothes, bedding, money, and food. Even if someone arranged a clean single room for her, the Yin Qi in the prison is heavy, and the woman's physique is on the cold side, so it's easy for her to fall sick after a long time. "
Xie Ze had even considered all of this. It was clear how attentive and gentle he was. Han Run's eyes welled up as he listened.
Han Run did not delay. As soon as Xie Ze left, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare the necessities.
Because Jiang Pengji paid a lot of attention to hygiene, even in the dungeon, she had to maintain a certain level of cleanliness. Therefore, the situation in the dungeon was better than Han Run had imagined. Accompanied by the housekeeper, Han Run reported his father's name and was led into the women's cell by the female prison guard.
"I don't have much time, only an hour. If there's anything, please tell me as soon as possible."
The jailers of the women's prison were female soldiers who had retired from the women's battalion due to injuries. Even if they couldn't fight as well as they used to, it wasn't a problem for them to guard a few women and children. Not only was there a time limit for relatives to visit the prisoners, but there must also be two prison guards present to prevent any trouble.
Han Run said, "Thank you very much. I will be careful."
After a while, Mrs. Han was brought in.
"Mother!" Han Run called out and hurriedly bowed.
Mrs. Han stopped in her tracks. She had some thoughts of retreating.
She wished she could cover her face so that her son would not see her in such a sorry state.
With a mother whose house had been confiscated and who had been imprisoned, her Run and Chi 'er must be in an awkward situation in the Han residence.
"Mother? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Your son will call the doctor over to take a look … "
Mrs. Han pulled him back and said shyly, "Your mother is fine."
Mother and son should have had endless things to talk about when they met, but the timing was awkward.
Mrs. Han looked at her son, who had lost a lot of weight. She felt some regret in her heart.
She really shouldn't have let her emotions affect her decisions. She shouldn't have abandoned her two young sons for a moment of pride.
"In a moment of haste, your son took two sets of bedding and clothes that you used to use. I've just asked the prison guard to send them to you." Han Run picked up the box of food that had been placed at the side. "These are your favorite dishes, but the family has changed cooks. I don't know if the dishes are to your liking. If you like them, I will send someone to deliver them every day. "
The more Mrs. Han looked, the sadder she became. She wanted to find a hole to hide in and never come out again.
Han Run continued, "The bottom of the box is silver. Mother, you can use it to bribe the prison guards. If there are any snacks you want, you can send them to buy them. Mother, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Grandmother and the others … they also need to take care of them. They are getting old … "
Madame Tao was looking for trouble. He couldn't do too much to prevent his father from being implicated.
He had given the silver to his mother. Whether his mother would take care of Madame Tao or not was none of his business.
Mrs. Han couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The red veins in her eyes were soaked with tears.
"Run has really grown up. It's a pity that your mother is not good enough. Not only did I not help you, but I also dragged you and your brother down."
She could only be glad that Han Yu was a reliable man. He also promised that he wouldn't marry a second wife, so that the two legitimate sons wouldn't have a bad life in the Han residence. If Han Yu married someone else and had a new legitimate son in the future, the first two legitimate sons would be the two most embarrassed people in the entire Han residence.
Han Run said, "Mother, don't say that. As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."
Half an hour passed quickly. Han Run had to leave reluctantly.
Mrs. Han looked at her son's back and almost burst into tears.
"Why are you back?"
Although Mrs. Han was in a single cell, she was not too far away from the other female members of the Tao family. They could see each other's movements.
She had just been sent back by the prison guards when she heard her sister-in-law's sarcasm.
Mrs. Han's lips moved. She didn't want to argue with her.
"Your face looks so unlucky!" Her sister-in-law continued to ridicule her, "You have already divorced Han Wenbin. I'm afraid that he is looking for a new wife to marry into the family. Why would he think of getting you out? You should give up as soon as possible so that you won't be dreaming in broad daylight. "
"You should be envious that I have such a filial and obedient son." Mrs. Han's heart was burning with anger. She retorted sarcastically, "When this matter is solved, no matter how unlucky I am, at least I have two sons who will take care of me when I die. What about you? I'm afraid that you will have to live on the streets … "
Mrs. Tao, who was sitting on the side taking a nap, opened her tired eyes and scolded her daughter fiercely, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Cursing her eldest daughter-in-law to have no one to take care of her when she dies. Wasn't this a disguised form of cursing her to have no one to rely on and live on the streets?
If the two of them were in the same cell, Mrs. Han would have been slapped again.
