Mrs. Liu, the canary that Liu Biping had kept in a cage, was also feeling very uneasy.
For so many years, she listened to her parents at her parents' home and to her husband after she got married. She had never made her own decision, but she never expected that the decision she made would be such a big one.
She actually listened to others, betrayed her husband, and took away the son her husband cared about most.
After being married for so many years, she knows very well what kind of person Liu Biping is.
It is probably not unfair to say that he is cold-hearted, because he really is a heartless person. If he had a heart, he would not have done so many unscrupulous things.
It's fine to treat others cruelly. After all, it's other people's business. If their life and death, and other people's pain are not imposed on yourself, you will never feel the pain.
She used to be just a bystander, watching how her husband's family colluded with each other and killed people for money, power and status. After watching for a long time, she gradually became numb.
But later, when this kind of pain happened to her, she realized how painful it was.
She has been the eldest sister since she was young, and she treated her younger sister no differently than her own daughter. She brought her up little by little, watching her grow up from a little girl. When her younger sister got married, her daughter was already seven or eight years old, but she still went back to her parents' home despite her husband's cold face to add makeup to her younger sister.
Liu Biping should never, ever play tricks on her about this matter.
She said that everything had already been arranged, that she didn't save her sister because the situation was too urgent and there was nothing she could do, and that someone had been sent to pick up her sister's child.
But in fact, how could they ask someone to pick up the child? It was clearly asking someone to kill the child.
There was only a kerosene lamp lit in the room, which made people feel drowsy and sleepy. She stood up anxiously and walked around several times, but then sat down again with some uneasiness.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed. It was pitch dark outside and the wind was getting stronger.
The young master next to him was a little hungry, so he pulled Mrs. Liu's hand and pursed his lips to ask for food.
Madam Liu hurriedly lowered her head to comfort him: "Don't worry, wait a moment, we will be fine after a while."
But having said that, we are already out of Rongcheng and at the border of Sanming, and there are mountains everywhere...
She couldn't help but feel a little panicked again - she didn't know who had saved the children, and whether it was really her brother-in-law Luo Yuan.
If so, that's good.
If not, then isn't she in danger
Thinking of this, she became even more restless. She touched her son's head and reluctantly began to recite the Heart Sutra, trying to calm herself down.
Fortunately, as he was speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
She was startled and jumped up quickly, opening the door hesitantly but not daring to hesitate.
The door opened, and she used the visitor's lantern to see what was happening outside. There were about three or four people standing outside the door, and judging by their appearance and dress, they were women.
She was a little surprised and forgot what to do for a moment.
It was not until the leader called Madam Liu softly that she woke up from her dream. She was sure that the person in front of her was the one she had agreed to meet, and she hurriedly welcomed the person in.
They brought lanterns with them, and when they came in, they lit up the room.
The little boy stood up suddenly and threw himself into his mother's arms, a little scared.
Although he was still young, he knew that the environment was different from home, so he hugged his mother's legs and asked her when he could go home.
go home
After my husband did something like this, I’m afraid I can’t return home.
Madam Liu smiled bitterly, patted his head and comforted him: "It will be soon. When mother finishes her work and picks up her cousins, she will take you back."
Children's senses are always very sharp. The young master stopped talking, but still hugged her legs and refused to let go or move away.
The visitor watched quietly, and finally spoke at this moment. He smiled and handed over a piece of chrysanthemum cake, and said softly: "Are you hungry, young master? Would you like to try it? This is just bought from Linglongzhai, it's still fresh."
The chef of Linglongzhai used to be the imperial chef in the palace. He had excellent cooking skills and had always been sought after by the people of Rongcheng.
The young man hesitated a little, looked at his mother, and when he saw his mother nod, he hesitantly reached out to take it.
Mrs. Liu took this opportunity to see the face of the person who came clearly, and she couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
How could it be...
She stood up in surprise and looked at the person in front of her. She was so surprised that she could hardly speak. After a while, she said in a trembling voice: "You... You are not..."
Wei An reached out and lowered his hood, glanced at her, and nodded with a calm smile: "It's me."
It turned out to be Princess Shouning!
Mrs. Liu took a few steps back, her hands trembling a little, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
Knowing such a secret in their family, she thought that it was really the father of the children and that her brother-in-law had sent the message. However, she did not expect that it was not him, but Princess Shouning!
Of course she knew that Princess Shouning and Liu Biping were mortal enemies.
She also knew that Liu Biping had tricked her into going to Quanzhou, and that a death trap had been set for her in Quanzhou.
But unexpectedly, Princess Shouning not only returned unharmed, but also managed to trick her out of the Governor's Mansion!
She felt a little regretful, but more afraid.
Princess Shouning wouldn't have brought her out just for fun, she must have done it to deal with Liu Biping.
She was fooled. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic. She hugged the young master and watched Wei An retreating with a vigilant look on her face. She threatened with a lack of confidence: "What do you want to do?! I tell you, don't do anything to me. Everyone in Rongcheng knows that I am the wife of the governor..."
Because she was so frightened, her speech was a little incoherent.
Wei An looked at her with a light smile, not angry at all. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "I think you have misunderstood, Madam. Why should I deal with you?"
She glanced at the young man who was held by Madam Liu, with only his eyes exposed, and reached out to touch the young man's head. She ignored Madam Liu's gaze, slowly raised her eyes and looked at Madam Liu, and said word by word: "I clearly came to you to cooperate with you. Since we are going to cooperate, then you and I are on the same side. How could I attack my companion?"
Madam Liu looked at her half-believingly and half-doubtingly, a little fear involuntarily revealed in her eyes. After all, she was just a woman in the backyard, and now her life and death were in the hands of others.
She had no choice because Wei An was clearly in the upper hand.
She thought about it, then took a step back, looked up at Wei An, and asked her: "How do we cooperate?"
