Aunt Xu didn't even dare to test her conjecture. If the master knew about the existence of Miss Leping, then all the things that had happened over the years would be a bit scary to think about.
But... it shouldn't be.
How can a man want to see his own flesh and blood outside with his own eyes? Moreover, although Miss Leping was closely protected by Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, her life in the Liu family was indeed not that happy.
At least the old lady in the Liu family is difficult to get along with.
If the master knew this, why would he let Miss Leping live in the Liu family
Nanny Xu couldn't figure it out, so she carried all kinds of speculations in her heart, took the tens of thousands of banknotes given by Ji Changze, and chased after Li Ziqian's car.
Mrs. Liu was checking the account books in her yard. She was a little overwhelmed when she heard Li Ziqian coming, but she still managed to welcome her.
Waiting for someone to enter the room, as soon as the door was closed, she couldn't hold it any longer and couldn't hold back her crying. She took Li Ziqian's hand and choked out: "You're here."
Mrs. Liu has already experienced it under Mrs. Liu's hands over the years. Although she was fragile for a while, she recovered quickly.
He just cursed: "Everyone in that room is waiting to see our family's joke. Usually they want to rely on my master's official position to hold us back and prevent us from dividing the family. Now when something happens to the master, they immediately want to take away our family property." Get it over and then separate the families."
"Bah! I can't live up to their wishes!"
"Everyone is short-sighted. They are afraid that our master will not be punished. They talk outside all day long. They wish they could blame our family for everything. They quickly let your Majesty convict the master so that they can take over my family's property. I don’t want to think about it, if I can’t write anything, if my master is really convicted, what benefits can they get.”
She cursed loudly, and Li Ziqian stayed with her, patting her hands from time to time to comfort her.
"Did your mother's family send someone here? What did you say?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her tears, and they fell down.
"You also know the situation in my natal family. My parents have left long ago, and my adopted brother is no longer close to me. After knowing this, they sent someone over there, but they kept telling me to wait. Sheng Yan came home with his dowry after some good deed, saying that they support me, bah, I have money, a bank, and a shop, why do I still need them to support me?"
"The most disgusting thing is that they didn't even mention a pair of children at home. They took me home with only money and no children. How could anything be so cheap in the world? I looked at them and realized that they were unreliable. If something happened, I'll try to find a way to take Leping and the others out alone. Although it's a bit difficult, it's still better than being in these tiger and wolf dens."
Mrs. Liu's situation is very difficult. She is a wolf on the left and a tiger on the right. However, she is still a woman. The world has acquiesced that if a woman's husband gets into trouble, she will either rely on her natal family or her husband's family, so she became a favorite and everyone loved her. I want to get her here so that I can invade their family's property openly.
There was no news from Liu Shengyan's side yet, but those people actually assumed that he would definitely die, and came to see Mrs. Liu in a hurry.
Mrs. Liu was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the world was like this. Without a husband to rely on, a woman could only rely on others.
Seeing her like this, Li Ziqian could only comfort her softly: "Don't pay attention to those people. It's not worth getting so angry over them."
"I know, don't worry. I grew up with my grandfather as my childhood sweetheart, and I know what his temper is like. Even if he does have some shortcomings, it is for the sake of the people and the Wen Dynasty. No matter what others say, he is a hero in my heart. ."
Mrs. Liu scolded her emotions.
Li Ziqian, on the other hand, inexplicably thought of Ji Changze after hearing her words.
Childhood sweethearts grew up together.
The same is true for her and Ji Changze.
She also thought she knew what kind of temper Ji Changze was and thought he was an upright and upright gentleman.
When she learned that her father had been accused, she was still taking care of Ji Changze's mother in her hometown. Although she rushed from her hometown to the capital urgently, Li Ziqian believed that Ji Changze would help take care of her father along the way.
But later, on the way, he learned that his father had been humiliated and hit a pillar in the palace and died. Ji Changze, after his father's death, stepped on his body and framed him to please the present.
They are also childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.
Li Ziqian came back to her senses and no longer thought about these old things. She only asked Mrs. Liu to express her guess: "I thought, this matter is not that simple..."
Mrs. Liu originally thought that she would face bad news about her husband at most, but after hearing Li Ziqian's guess about the emperor's reaction, her face turned pale.
"You mean, Leping and the others might also...?"
Li Ziqian nodded reluctantly: "So, it's better to make plans early. I brought some silver coins, which are all my savings over the years. If something goes wrong, don't think about taking care of others... "
"I don't care about them."
Mrs. Liu sneered: "One is a Buddha who talks nonsense, and the other is someone who doesn't take advantage of everything in daily life and only looks for an advantage when something goes wrong. It's better for people like them to be implicated."
She took Li Ziqian's hand: "Good sister, if there is something wrong with my master, let's go together. You have endured for so many years, why bother to endure it any longer? For a ruthless person like Ji Changze, you should stay by his side." How hard it is.”
Li Ziqian naturally wanted to leave.
She didn't mention it and didn't want to face Ji Changze. She just said that after leaving, being able to see her biological daughter openly every day was enough to make her heart beat.
Before coming to Liu's house, Li Ziqian had thought about leaving together. After arriving, she calmed down.
She didn't dare to leave.
If it was just Mrs. Liu who left, it might not be a big deal. Then just find some corpses, put on their clothes, and pretend to be them.
But if it were her.
With Ji Changze's scheming mind, how could he believe it so hastily
By then, not only will people be unable to escape, but their friends will also be affected.
And she is not alone like Mrs. Liu. She also has a mother. Her mother has a strong temper. Ever since her father died of injustice more than ten years ago, she has stayed behind closed doors, chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha, swearing that she will never be punished for her father's injustice. The sun never rises.
But Li Ziqian knew that her mother was afraid of getting her involved.
After all, Ji Changze was the main person who framed his father, and she was Ji Changze's wife. If his mother really showed up, there was no guarantee that Ji Changze would not be an eyesore.
By then, Li Ziqian may have to suffer a lot.
Naturally, this is Mrs. Li's idea. Li Ziqian has never suffered in these years. Ji Changze may want to use her to improve his reputation as a loving wife, or he may want to prove that he did not frame his father-in-law and master by treating her well. .
In short, no matter what the reason was, even Li Ziqian had to admit that she had never suffered any crime in the Ji Mansion these years. Judging from her appearance, Ji Changze also visited her from time to time and repeatedly told the servants in the mansion to take good care of her.
But so what.
She framed her father to death that day, so who can she show this affectionate look today
Li Ziqian smiled and said, "I'll forget it. You know that I am weak and it will be a drag when I go out. Just taking medicine every month costs a lot of money. We can't afford it with our savings. Plus my mother is still here." , it’s better for me to be in Beijing, so I can tell you when something happens.”
Only then did Mrs. Liu remember that there was Mrs. Li.
She said angrily: "My aunt has been staying behind closed doors for these years. Ji Changze has sent people to make things run smoothly for the Li family. She has to visit her more than ten days a month, which makes many people in the capital praise him and say that he Although I am righteous enough to kill my relatives, I am still kind and righteous towards your mother’s family.”
"Renyi is a ghost. I just look at him to clear his reputation in this way."
Li Ziqian remained silent, she also felt it was ironic.
As a student who was brought up by his father, Ji Changze received so much favor from his father. He was also her husband, so he should do his best even if he didn't try his best to help her.
But at that time, the student whom her father was most optimistic about, whom she thought she had a good relationship with, not only failed to help her father when he needed help the most, but even stepped on her a few times, confirming the dirty water that was poured on her father. .
My father's reputation was ruined all his life.
And after doing all this, he actually still had the nerve to act as if nothing had happened, taking care of his mother-in-law and his wife, with such an affectionate look that he was exactly the same as before the accident.
Li Ziqian sometimes gets chills all over when she thinks about it.
Because that shows that if the current appearance is an act, then Ji Changze's appearance before when nothing happened to the Li family was also an act.
The person sharing the same bed turned out to be such a gentle person with a cold heart. How could one not make one's hair stand on end
Just as Li Ziqian was thinking about it, a girl outside announced that Nanny Xu, who was next to Li Ziqian, was here.
"Mother Xu?"
Li Ziqian was a little confused. Didn't she leave Nanny Xu behind and let her watch Ji Changze's movements
Aunt Xu came in and saluted: "Madam, Madam Liu."
"How did you come?"
Li Ziqian hurriedly pulled her over and asked nervously: "But what did Ji Changze find?"
Aunt Xu looked hesitant and didn't know what to say. She wanted to tell her speculation, but looking at the frightened Madam and Madam Liu, she felt that she had guessed wrong
If they said it rashly, the two of them didn't know how panicked they would be.
So she just took out the box and handed it to Li Ziqian.
"The master knew that Madam came to Mrs. Liu's house, so he gave this to the slave to bring. He said that Madam and Mrs. Liu are good friends. If something happens to the Liu family, Madam should help take care of it, so she will stay at Liu's house. A few days to help."
Li Ziqian and Mrs. Liu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
When did Ji Changze become so easy to talk to
No, that's not right either, he seems to have always been easy to talk to.
It's just that Li Ziqian didn't want to see him or make any requests.
Li Ziqian opened the box and was shocked again when she saw tens of thousands of taels of silver notes inside.
"He gave this to you?"
"Yes, the master asked the old slave to bring it to the madam. The old slave thought that maybe the master felt that Mrs. Liu needed money here."
With tens of thousands of taels, it would be very difficult even for Ji Changze to come up with it.
But he gave it to her directly.
Li Ziqian held the box, and for a moment she didn't know what Ji Changze had in mind.
She always thought that she knew Ji Changze well after what happened that year, but now it seems that she still can't figure out this person.
After thinking about it over and over again, I stopped thinking when I couldn't figure it out.
She handed the box to Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "This is just right. Just now I was saying that there was not enough money. You should put it away properly and you won't have to worry about it for most of your life."
"How can I charge so much money? Take it back quickly."
"Where is my money? This belongs to Ji Changze. Didn't you say you wanted to beat him up? Just treat this money as stolen from him, keep it."
Li Ziqian forced the box into Mrs. Liu's hand and said softly: "Leping... still needs you to take care of it. You can take the money. I know that you are not suffering outside, and I feel at ease."
When it came to Liu Leping, Mrs. Liu had no words to refuse.
She took the money and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure this money is spent wisely and I won't treat you badly, Leping."
"Hey, it's just a pity. Leping is also old. I'm discussing marriage with her recently. I've almost chosen someone. Who would have known that such a thing would happen. I can only wait until she settles down."
"Discussing marriage? Have you chosen a good match?"
Speaking of this, Li Ziqian suddenly became energetic. For her only daughter's marriage, she naturally hoped to find a husband with good conduct and who could take good care of Leping.
"I'm still looking at it. If there's someone I like, can I still tell you? I've looked at a few before, and I've also taken Leping to a few blind dates. Don't look at us, Leping, who is so quiet on weekdays. Yes, quite a few men like her."
There were also blind date banquets in the Wen Dynasty. Of course, they would not say so openly. Instead, they were all under the guise of flower appreciation, and the person hosting the banquet would send out invitations and invite young gentlemen and ladies to come and play.
The elders brought them here and found a way to play group games. Then the second generation of Quan, whose fathers were officials in the court, could quietly look at each other. Generally, girls are thin-skinned and would not tell anyone they liked. On the male side, most of the time, if their children fall in love with a girl from a certain family, the elders will go to the elders of that girl to talk casually and bring up the topic.
Generally, the girl's elders will understand after just a few words. Then they will just see if there is any intention. If both parties are interested, then the marriage can be discussed.
Mrs. Liu said: "You also know about the He family. Mr. He has a third-rank official position. Although he is a military attache, his eldest son is a good scholar. I heard that his master who taught him boasted a lot. He should have something to say with Leping, not to mention it is them. Baba came to ask for help, I was originally interested in their family."
"The He family..."
This was the first time Li Ziqian went out in more than ten years. At first glance, she had no impression of this family at all.
Mrs. Liu said: "It's He Xingwu, do you remember? If he is about the same age as us, then the eldest son of the He family is his eldest son."
He Xingwu…
Li Ziqian searched in her mind and found only an impression that she had seen at a party when she was young, and nothing else.
"Are they reliable?"
"It's not bad. He Xingwu can reach the third rank at his age. Although he has the help of his father, it's also very good. The eldest son of his family is happy and happy. I look at him. He is a gentle and elegant man. He looks like a scholar. If If you can survive this time safely, if you find a chance, I will take you to see him. If not, then that’s all.”
"Is there anyone besides him?"
"There are a few others, but they are not very successful. The other ones are good in every aspect, but... eh, their family is too high-profile."
Li Ziqian: "Is your level too high?"
Mrs. Liu whispered to her: "He is the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou family."
The eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou family...
Li Ziqian thought for a long time before remembering it, and said in surprise: "Isn't he fourteen this year?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing when she mentioned this: "No, he hasn't grown up yet, and his temper is like that of a baby. He also went there that day. It seemed that he was frightened by a cicada flying into his face, and he picked it off again. He couldn't get it off his head, and the children laughed at him at that time. He was so angry that he hid and cried alone. Leping saw him and helped him get it off."
"No, I'm just interested in Zhong Leping, and I'm clamoring to marry him."
Li Ziqian also smiled: "Zhongyong Hou and his wife have a good relationship. They are old people, so they deserve more pain."
It's just that it's really rare for boys to develop this temperament.
"The next day, Mrs. Zhongyonghou took me and talked about it. Her words meant that we wanted to get married. But you know our family. She didn't mention these messy things. She just said that my master is just a minor official. The third grade is not important to us. It's a high climb for anyone, let alone the Hou Mansion.
I thought that when Leping was wronged, it would be hard for her parents to take care of her. In addition, the child was two years younger than our Leping, and his temperament was uncertain. I liked him now, but I didn’t know what to do when he grew up, so I declined. . "
Li Ziqian nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what it should be. The child's character is still undecided and he is still too young."
The two of them talked about other candidates together.
Mrs. Liu was very disgusted with the other people who came to ask for help. She bluntly said that they were all crooked melons and cracked jujubes. They had bastards in the house at a young age, but they still had the nerve to come to ask for Leping.
There are those who seek marriage for their concubine, but don’t you know what kind of useless person you have raised your concubine to be? You still have the nerve to harm other people's girls.
There are also those whose official positions are only half as high as theirs. They are obviously asking for a girl, but their attitude is very condescending, as if their family proposed to marry Liu Leping, and the Liu family should be overjoyed and pack up the girl to marry off. generally.
"I hate this kind of people the most. They don't even look at what they are like. They think his family is the royal family, but they are just a little higher. My master is the real power, and their family is just a false title. In real terms, it is not as good as ours." That’s really kind of me.”
"Look at Mrs. Zhongyong Hou and the prince of the Hou family who came to ask for marriage. They all have very good attitudes and soft-spoken words. They keep praising us Leping. Look at that family again. They are obviously here to ask for marriage from Leping. The words in their words But he belittled her, saying that she was not good here or that she was not good there, but their family is so tolerant and tolerates this, I really want to beat them out with a stick."
Li Ziqian was furious when she heard that. How can you belittle other girls like this? If you don't like it, why would you come to ask for marriage? You just want to marry someone else's girl, and you want to suppress your daughter-in-law before she comes in. That’s all.
I don't even think about it, any family that loves their daughters would marry their daughters to a family that belittles their daughters before they even enter the house.
The two chatted affectionately all afternoon about their children's marriage, and they were still unfinished when they lit up the lanterns at dusk.
I feel a little sad in my heart.
Although they tried their best to pretend that nothing happened and discussed Liu Leping's marriage normally, they all knew in their hearts that if something happened to Liu Shengyan, such peaceful days would never happen again.
As Liu Leping's daughter, it is impossible for Liu Leping to marry into the families just mentioned.
Mrs. Liu suddenly said: "Otherwise, you can take this child back, and you will suffer hardship if you follow us."
"She has been with you for so many years. You took her with you when you were enjoying happiness. If I took her away when you were suffering, what kind of person would you be? Stop talking about it. Leping will follow you, and I can rest assured."
"She is a girl after all. She cannot live a life of wandering."
Li Ziqian wiped away Mrs. Liu's tears with a handkerchief and said softly, "You are a girl too."
Mrs. Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How old am I, and I am still a girl? Do you really think I am the little girl back then?"
"Leping is about to reach the age to discuss marriage. If he is involved by his father and leaves with me, he may never find such a good marriage in the capital. For a woman, getting married is like reincarnation. This How can we delay such a big thing? Why don't you recognize the child? You can always find a good one for the eldest daughter of a second-grade official."
"It's not like you don't know about our family. When Nagasawa did what he did, how dare I let Leping stay with him? If he knew that I handed Leping to you back then, and he didn't know how he felt, he might get angry. .”
Mother Xu stood behind Li Ziqian and listened to what she said. Her mouth opened slightly and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.
She could only advise: "Madam, don't think too much. They are our own flesh and blood after all. Didn't Madam send Miss Leping away because she was worried that the master would fall out and have a difficult life in the house and affect Miss Leping in the future? But for so many years, the master has never done anything." I have taken concubines... I have no sons and a half daughters. If Miss Leping can return home, she is the only one of her own blood."
Li Ziqian knew that what Nanny Xu said was true.
The reason why she entrusted the child to him in the first place was not only because she was worried about his cruelty, but also because she knew clearly that her father who was her backer was gone and Ji Changze no longer had any shackles in front of him.
What does a ruthless man look like
It's nothing more than taking concubines, pampering concubines and destroying wives. The life of legitimate children is worse than that of concubines and concubines.
Li Ziqian had seen too much since he was a child. Ji Changze could directly step on the bottom of the master who brought him up and gave him everything, so why wouldn't he treat his own children like this
But in the past ten years, Ji Changze has indeed never taken a concubine, and he has never heard of any children outside.
Seeing Li Ziqian thinking about something, Aunt Xu asked cautiously: "Madam?"
Li Ziqian came to her senses: "Still not."
She could never forget what Ji Changze did more than ten years ago. Leping might have suffered a little by following the Liu family, but if he recognized his father, who knows if Ji Changze would use this child as a stepping stone to climb up.
After all, she is a woman, and the eldest daughter is the perfect choice for marriage.
Waiting until night, Li Ziqian asked Nanny Xu: "What's going on? Why did he give me so much money? Why did he let me live in Liu's house? But what happened to the house?"
Nanny Xu finally expressed her suspicion: "Madam, it seems that the master knew that you were going to Liu's house today. The car was prepared by the master in advance. When you left, the old servant discovered that the master had been standing there. Watch from the door."
"Master... he seems to know something."
Li Ziqian's whole body froze, her mind went blank, and her blood went cold.
"he knows?"
No, this is not possible.
How can it be.
Didn't she hide it well for more than ten years?
Seeing that she seemed to have forgotten to breathe, Aunt Xu quickly said, "I'm just guessing. Maybe, maybe I just guessed that Madam and Madam Liu have a good relationship, so I prepared the carriage."
Li Ziqian finally recovered a little.
"Yes, he can't know. When I gave birth, the only people who knew about it were you and Po Wen. I gave Po Wen a sum of money and she went back to her hometown. She will never come to the capital in this life. And , and didn’t you find out later that she died of illness a few years ago?”
"Besides me, you are the only one who knows about it in the house. How could he know... He couldn't find out. People back then were all dead and scattered. Now, no matter how good your eyes are, you can't find out."
Li Ziqian grabbed Nanny Xu's hand and unconsciously exerted force. Her eyes were full of panic and she stared at Nanny Xu: "Mom, mama, you are right, he can't know."
"Yes, yes, it is impossible for the master to know. Madam, please feel at ease."
Aunt Xu quickly comforted her.
Li Ziqian slowly relaxed and her tears couldn't stop falling.
"We can't let him know that when his father's body was still cold, he stepped on his body to climb up. If he were to know the existence of Leping, he would definitely use Leping as a bargaining chip for someone who only wants to be powerful."
She was really afraid of Ji Changze.
She is usually gentle and respectful, and treats her father as her own father.
How can such a good person turn into another person overnight
Li Ziqian was frightened.
She couldn't tell which words of the person beside her were true and which were false.
All she can do is protect her daughter.
It’s all she has experienced on her own. At such a young age, she should have been pampered by her parents. How could she face a person who is usually gentle and amiable, but at critical moments, he throws her out and uses her as a stepping stone? 's father.
Li Ziqian stabilized her mind and slowly closed her eyes: "Mommy, do you also think I should recognize Leping back?"
Aunt Xu originally had the same firm stance as her wife, but recently, she always felt that the master didn't seem to care about his wife that much.
He even seemed to know something.
She hesitated and advised carefully: "I don't have any children, so maybe it's different for Miss Leping?"
"If Leping comes back, he will definitely be kind to Leping."
Li Ziqian's voice was calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "He will pamper Leping and hold the child in his hands, making all girls of the same age envy Leping for having such a good father."
"But if he encounters danger and needs others to sacrifice to achieve his own success, he will not hesitate to throw Leping out."
"In his heart, even his biological daughter is not as important as one of his hairs. He will never really love Leping like me. Believe it or not, if there is danger and arrows are coming, His first reaction would be to pull Leping over and stand in front of him as a shield."
Aunt Xu couldn't bear to hear it: "Madam, that's not the case, is it? After all, they are her own flesh and blood."
"For Ji Changze, my father is like his father, both a teacher and a father. He has brought him from an ignorant boy to an adult. It's a bit superficial to say that the two of them have the same affection as father and son. Isn't he just stepping on my father to rise to the top? .”
Li Ziqian closed her eyes and said lightly: "In my eyes, Ji Changze can always be gentle when nothing happens, but if something happens, he will abandon everyone around him just to protect himself." , I have never asked him to step forward at critical moments, but I also never thought that he would add insult to injury in order to get the upper hand.”
"For such a person who always puts his own power before the lives of his loved ones, I would rather die than let Leping recognize him."
"So, mama, don't mention it again in the future."
Aunt Xu sighed and covered Li Ziqian with a quilt: "Miss, go to sleep, I will stay with you."
Li Ziqian never spoke again. As for whether she fell asleep, only she knew.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up from bed.
"Madam, get up quickly, get up quickly."
Seeing Li Ziqian open her eyes, Nanny Xu hurriedly said:
"The news came quietly from Fuquan, saying that the master was brought to the palace. When he came back, he said that your majesty was going to punish Mr. Liu. I am afraid that the Liu family will also suffer."
"Get up quickly, we have to go tell Mrs. Liu."
"By the way, by the way, the grandma who is serving the old lady has also come and said that she can take the old lady out of the house quietly. Madam, do we want to leave?"
As soon as Li Ziqian woke up, she was hit by such a large amount of information. She hesitated for a few seconds.
He was unwilling to leave before, not only because he was worried about Ji Changze, but also because he was worried about his mother.
But if the mother can leave, plus the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes given by Ji Changze, moreover, she can stay with her daughter in the future.
Li Ziqian gritted her teeth: "How many of us are there?"
Aunt Xu hurriedly said: "We have brought more than a dozen boys from our courtyard, as well as five girls. They were all bought from childhood and have been trained. They are very loyal. Those boys are also very good at fighting and guarding them all the way. You have to keep us."
"Okay, tell me to go down immediately and bring something light. I won't bring anything too bulky. We will leave quietly during the day tomorrow."
Now that there is a curfew at night, I will definitely not be able to leave. The decree of punishment is not that fast, so I should be able to leave early tomorrow morning.
This night was a chaotic one for the Liu family's small courtyard. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, they couldn't even turn on the lights, so they could only tidy up in the dark.
In the early morning of the next day, they all got into the carriage on the pretext of accompanying Mrs. Ji to worship Buddha.
Liu Leping sat in the car and patted his mother's hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, mother. If there are any difficulties, we will fight together. As a family together, we can always get through it safely."
The girl following the car outside suddenly shouted: "Miss, look outside."
She opened the curtain and looked outside. It was early in the morning, and there was no one on the street. There was only one person standing and looking over. When she saw her, he looked over. There was a look of confusion and hesitation on his face, but he never came forward.
Liu Leping remained calm and lowered the curtain.
Mrs. Liu asked her: "What's going on outside?"
"The eldest son of the He family is here. He must have heard about his father and came to take a look."
Mrs. Liu was about to say that this child was not bad, but she did not avoid suspicion. Seeing the look on her daughter's face, she swallowed her words, opened the curtain and took a look, her brows knitted together.
The expression on Mr. He's face is really repulsive.
If you're afraid, don't come. If you're not afraid, don't come either. You act like you're afraid of getting involved with them.
I want to see people again, but I look like I am afraid that they will stick to me, and I stand still. Who are I coming to disgust
Mrs. Liu lowered the curtain.
"Okay, leave him alone and let's go."
After all, it was just that they had come to ask for marriage and she had not agreed yet. There was no need to force others to avoid suspicion.
The carriage reached the western suburbs safely. There was a military camp in the distance. Just as they were about to bypass the military camp, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from a distance, heading this way.
I thought it was the soldiers from the military camp returning from training, and they could just hide in the car. Unexpectedly, the moving carriage suddenly stopped.
Liu Leping was supervising his younger brother's endorsement when the carriage suddenly stopped and almost fell forward. He hurriedly steadied himself and opened the curtain. He took a deep breath when he saw it.
There were many soldiers sitting on horses outside, which happened to surround them tightly.
This is when the Dongchuang incident happened and we came to arrest people.
Seeing his mother and Mrs. Ji getting off the carriage, Liu Leping told his brother to stay in the carriage and got off the carriage himself.
As soon as I got off the ground, I heard Mrs. Ji scolding: "My friends and I went to worship Buddha, why did you stop us?"
"Mrs. Ji is overly worried. I am not trying to stop Mrs. Ji, I just want to stop Mr. Liu's family members."
The gentleman sitting on the horse obviously knew Mrs. Ji. He met with Li first and then explained: "Liu Shengyan committed a serious crime, and his family members will naturally be implicated."
"Now early in the morning, Mrs. Liu left with her children. Did she want to escape?"
Mrs. Ji was still standing in the front: "There is no proof, why should I believe it? Where is the holy decree?"
"We are just dealing with the families of a few minor officials. There is no need for an imperial edict. Your Majesty convicts Liu Shengyan. Who doesn't know? Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mr. He's family, I wouldn't have known that you would have escaped so quickly."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
No one expected that the person who tipped off the news turned out to be Young Master He, the man who had previously said that he liked Liu Leping and wanted to marry him.
He is so.
I thought he bumped into him by chance, but I didn't expect that he actually came to see if the Liu family had escaped.
Mrs. Ji was unwilling to get out of the way. She knew that if she did, the Liu family would not be able to survive.
But it was no use if she didn't get out of the way, someone came down soon.
"Come, please leave Mrs. Ji."
The adult was sitting on the horse with a malicious smile on his face. He looked directly at Liu Leping and bent his bow at her.
"Your Majesty has an order to kill any defector without mercy!"
When the expressions of those present suddenly changed, he sneered:
"Mrs. Liu, please take Miss Liu and Mr. Liu on the road."
