Butler Li had a serious look on his face.

"You are the prince's mother, you should consider him more. The prince has become like this, and outsiders are laughing at him. Do you think the Marquis really doesn't care?"

"Letting a son who can't be a man be the heir... I'm afraid the Marquis will be shaken... Now the Marquis hasn't reacted yet, but by the time the Marquis has the idea of ​​changing the heir, it will be too late!"

Butler Li spoke in a serious tone.

"If the prince loses the right to inherit the title, others will also be ready to make a move. No matter who gets the inheritance and becomes the new prince, his mother will be able to compete with you because of her son's status."

"By that time, Madam Xiao, you will lose your dignity. If even you can't maintain your dignity, the prince's life will be even more difficult in the future. We must calm down and think about what to do."

Madam Xiao was indeed somewhat moved when she listened to Butler Li's analysis, but before she could react, the maid next to her could no longer sit still.

We are all in the same boat. What Butler Li said is right. If Madam Xiao falls, the Crown Prince will lose face. Wouldn't servants like them be even more miserable?

So the maid also started to persuade her, and seemed even more anxious than Madam Xiao.

"Madam, what Butler Li said is right. The prince can only rely on you now. You must protect the prince's one acre and three points of land!"

Both of them were Madam Xiao's confidants, and after their earnest persuasion, they finally calmed Madam Xiao down.

But Mrs. Xiao, who had calmed down, did not make a decision immediately, but started crying.

Because Mrs. Xiao, who had calmed down, clearly understood the situation of herself and her son——

The son became a disabled person and would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. He could no longer be a man and could no longer carry on the family line.

Although Xie Ruyu is pregnant now, her identity is not good enough and she doesn't know whether the child is a boy or a girl.

And in the current situation, it is impossible for the child to appear in public openly.

I can only hide secretly...

The more Mrs. Xiao thought about it, the sadder she felt, and she could hardly stand.

"Madam! Madam, are you okay?"

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly supported him and looked at the housekeeper anxiously.

Butler Li felt helpless when he saw his wife was about to collapse, but the Marquis was not around, and if his wife couldn't hold on, could she expect the prince lying in bed to make the decision?

How can that be possible! Wouldn't that just allow other women in the backyard to fight for the power in their hands?

He was promoted by the lady, and he did a lot of dirty things to show his loyalty to her, offending all the women in the backyard. There was no way the girls in other courtyards would use him.

They will only promote a new butler. If you kick him out, there is no need to say what the consequences will be.

Being able to be sent to the manor alive would be a good ending, but I'm afraid I can't even save my life...

Thinking of this, Butler Li became even more anxious.

"Madam, you must hold on. The prince still has to rely on you, and we also have to rely on you, madam. It's not a desperate situation yet. Madam, think about it, although the prince has no one to rely on, he still has a powerful relative."

“If we can firmly grasp the Marquis of Changping Mansion, based on how much Lord Xie treasures Xie Lingxi, as long as Xie Lingxi and the prince are successfully married, the prince’s title can still be preserved and no one can take it away!”

When mentioning the Marquis of Changping Mansion and Xie Lingxi, a trace of hatred flashed across Madam Xiao's face and she started cursing directly.

"What in-laws? Xie Lingxi is a jinx! My son is unlucky because of her! Speaking of which, that crazy horse might be the revenge of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. I'm going to settle the score with them!"

While speaking, Madam Xiao actually struggled to go out.

"Madam, you can't do that!" The maid hugged her.

The housekeeper even stood in front and gave earnest advice.

"Madam, don't say anything careless. We have no evidence. In the eyes of outsiders, we were at fault on the wedding day. Even if the Marquis of Changping is suspected of the crazy horse incident, we have no evidence. If we really put the blame on the Marquis of Changping, I'm afraid it will anger Lord Xie."

"Besides, we cannot offend the Marquis of Changping's Mansion now, and we have to coax them. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to consider the prince. If there is no powerful Yue family, can Madam guarantee that the Marquis will always have high hopes for the prince?"

Although Steward Li's words were cryptic, they were true.

Since ancient times, only mothers have truly loved their children. As for fathers... with so many children, why would they love a disabled one?

Mrs. Xiao began to sob again.

There was a commotion outside.

In the room, Xiao Yusheng's face turned pale.

"Bang bang bang!"

He pounded the bed hard, and in the struggle he tore the wound on his lower body, and the pain made his face turn pale again.

But compared to the humiliation he suffered, the pain was nothing. Xiao Yusheng endured the pain and threw away everything he could. Pillows, quilts, and bed curtains were all thrown and torn by him.

When Mrs. Xiao outside heard the noise and rushed into the room, she found that her son's upper body had slipped from the bed to the ground, but his lower body was still on the bed, looking in a miserable state.

The surroundings were in a mess and looked so pitiful.

Mrs. Xiao was heartbroken and hurried forward to help.

"Ouch! Yusheng, what happened to you? Don't take your body lightly even if you want to vent your anger. The doctor said that you need to lie down and rest. Is your wound hurting?"

Madam Xiao, the housekeeper and the maid hurriedly put Xiao Yusheng back on the bed.

Xiao Yusheng had just laid down but he didn't appreciate it and pushed Mrs. Xiao away.

Madam Xiao almost fell backwards, but was pulled back in time by her maid. She staggered twice before she stood firm. Looking at her son with a gloomy face, Madam Xiao could not get angry at all. She just held her handkerchief and cried with red eyes.

"Why do I have such a miserable life! God, if you really want to punish me, just punish me. Why do you let my son suffer like this? Wuuuuuu... What should I do in the future..."

Butler Li and the maid were helpless. They didn't know whether to persuade Xiao Yusheng or the lady, so they could only keep quiet.

Listening to Madam Xiao's crying, the ferocity in Xiao Yusheng's eyes gradually subsided, or rather, it was restrained even more.

He took a deep breath and asked with a hope.

"Mother, don't cry, I'm fine. Is my body really incurable? It doesn't matter if I can't be a man, but will I really never be able to stand up again?"

Xiao Yusheng's eyes were red as he stared at Madam Xiao's face. The stubbornness in his eyes burned Madam Xiao, and she subconsciously avoided her son's gaze.

"Mother, answer me! Will I never be able to stand up again?"

This is what Xiao Yusheng cares about most.

If she couldn't be a man, didn't she still have the one in Xie Ruyu's belly? Even if it was a girl, she could still be adopted from a branch family. There was always a way.

But what if I can never stand up again... Xiao Yusheng didn't even dare to think about it, and asked again with red eyes.

"Mother! Answer me!"
