Actually, before I went to Yangzhou, I felt that Aunt Liu's health had reached its limit, but I still told Aunt Zhao and the others that they had to breathe with their daily ginseng soup, and finally let her wait until Liu San'er came back. No matter what, I don't want them to leave regrets in the end, which is more close to their biological mother and son.

Actually, I expected this day. After too many life and death separations, I have already taken it lightly.

only……

When I felt her breathing weak little by little and my body temperature disappeared little by little, my tears still dripped like beads with broken threads. My daughter seemed to feel something, lying in her arms and crying quietly, her weak little hands holding her in the air, as if she wanted to grab something.

But in the end, I can't keep it.

Aunt Liu, the loving old man, gave me maternal love that I had not seen for a long time and could not even imagine. At the end of my life, I would give up myself for others and eventually turn into a piece of loess.

I knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to her tombstone. Tears dripped down my cheeks and fell on the face of the child in the cradle. She looked at me with her dark eyes in a daze.

I was slowly about to stand up, but after giving birth, I was exhausted and almost emptied. Qian Wu, who was next to me, hurried over to help me up.

"Didn't I say that I'll let you take a few days off and see you again?"

A familiar and low voice sounded behind me. I slowly turned around and met those tired and charming eyes. It was only a while since he had not seen him. He seemed to have lost weight again. Although he was wearing thick winter clothes, he could still see his thin waistline, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time.

As soon as I saw him, I ignored anything else and hurriedly said, "Master Huang, he—"

“No news yet.”

“…”

The hope that I was full of hope was poured on the cold water that I would hear these days, and it was extinguished. I slowly lowered my head and my face became paler.

It's been several days.

From that day to Huang Tianba's house, I held up the last bit of strength to beg him to help me find Liu San'er. Until today, there was still no news. My mood became more and more anxious, as if it was burning on the fire.

Huang Tianba looked at my pale face and said, "However, he was not caught by those people. The people from the government went back empty-handed."

When I heard this, I became more energetic and hurriedly said, "Really?"

"Well, the people I sent out have already inquired. Those people arrived at your house, searched them back and forth, and summoned people from the village to ask. They originally wanted to chase them in two ways along the water and mountain roads, but they didn't do that and went back a day later."

My heart suddenly felt relieved.

As long as Liu Saner is not caught by Yang Ji's people!

But - if he was not caught, where did he go? It has been several days, and he should also know that those people have returned. If so, he should come to find me and my mother. Why is there still no news at all, and even Huang Tianba's people can't find him.

Huang Tianba walked up to me, looked down at me, frowned slightly, as if he wanted to blame me, but he couldn't bear to speak, so he stopped talking for a long time, and finally said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

“…”

"Are you afraid of implicating me?"

“…”

"Even if I can't show up in Yangzhou City now, Yang Ji, I'm not afraid of seeing him."

"..." I said softly: "I'm not worried about this."

He frowned slightly: "What are you worried about?"

“…”

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you worried about that night, that student?"

As soon as I heard the students of Xishan Academy, my mood became more complicated, and his mind seemed a little heavy. After looking at me for a long time, I finally didn't say anything. I asked Qian Wu to go back with me. When I was walking on the road, he suddenly said, "Yang Ji is dead."

"What?!"

I was shocked and looked up at him in shock - "Yang Ji, is he dead?!"

"Although the state capital has been hiding it, some news still came out. He was assassinated."

He didn't even look back, nor could he see clearly what expression was on his face at this time. His voice was still faint, and he said with a hint of depression: "It should be that they were moving their hands."

The pharmacy...

They never left any effort to assassinate the officials of Yangzhou. Liu Shizhou and Liu Yi died tragically before. Yang Ji did so many things that were harmful to the world in Yangzhou. It would be a while later, but it was a little late.

Huang Tianba said slowly: "For such a long time before, they had been very calm in Yangzhou, but now they suddenly assassinated Yang Ji. Do you know what it means?"

Of course, I understand a little in my heart.

Last year, Pei Yuanhao's trip to the south was a earth-shaking change for Yangzhou. Although the court did not completely recapture this group of people, the temporary peace talks still gave him the opportunity to make a big move in Yangzhou, so he had the subsequent tax reduction and exemption, opening Enke, etc. However, unexpectedly, all of this changed in the end, and his previous efforts turned into a bubble.

Yao Lao and his friends assassinated Yang Ji at this time undoubtedly warned and confronted the court and the emperor again.

"Is your sect giving a new order?"

"Maybe it was the order of the sect to come to Yangzhou, maybe it was--" Huang Tianba paused, and a light flashed in his eyes: "The people from the sect have come to Yangzhou."

My breathing was suffocated.

"Some of the things that Lao Yao had in Yangzhou before were violated by the sect's orders, including asking me to leave and making peace with the court for a while. But now that things have come to this point, they have emerged. The sect may send people to Yangzhou. If that's the case--"

He paused for a moment, a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "I'm afraid things will be in trouble again."

If the people from the sect arrive in Yangzhou, if those people arrive in Yangzhou...

My heart was in a mess, and I felt extremely confused. At this moment, a soft, tender voice came from my ears: "Yaah—"

When I looked down, it was my daughter. She looked at me with black eyes, her little face full of ignorant expressions, as if she didn't understand why people had so many worries, she crawled into my arms like a spoiled person. Her red face buried in my arms, and her little mouth pouted and made a whirring sound.

Looking at her appearance, my heart softened.

I already have my own children and my husband, and everything in the past should be the past.

No matter who comes from the sect or who comes to Yangzhou, it is impossible to change all this. What I have to do now is to find Liu Saner earlier and leave here.

When I raised my head, Huang Tianba walked up to me and looked down.

My daughter also seemed to feel something. She turned her head in a daze and looked at Huang Tianba with dark eyes. The two of them looked at each other. After a while, her little mouth suddenly grinned, as if she had a smile, and her red little hands reached out to him, grabbing each other.

"She smiled!" Huang Tianba was slightly surprised, and a smile appeared on his face: "She is smiling at me."

I said, "She likes you."

"Can I hug her?"

"Um."

I nodded and carefully handed the child over. Huang Tianba carefully reached out and took it, and then gently hugged it in his arms, even breathing, as if he was worried that he would hurt the weak life in his arms with a little force.

His daughter was held by him, and her dark eyes never left him. At this time, she looked at him with her head raised and her small mouth.

Suddenly, there was a very loud "giggle" sound.

"She is really laughing!" Huang Tianba smiled happily, hugging her gently and coaxing her, making a "tsk tsk tsk" sound from her mouth to make her laugh. Her daughter seemed to be even happier, and her little hands grabbed him, as if she wanted to grab his voice.

I looked at this scene and my originally upset mood relaxed a little.

Huang Tianba was originally born with an extremely handsome man, but rarely had a gentle smile. At this time, his eyes narrowed, and there was a shimmering light of water. His whole face was as soft as a dream. Such a gentle smile made people feel moved.

He has been married for several years.

But there was no child. I had never asked why, but now I don’t need to ask anymore. I just sighed as he looked at the happy look of holding the child.

We just returned to his home. As soon as we walked into the gate, we saw Mu Hua standing in the middle of the garden, looking at us with a cold expression.

Huang Tianba was originally lowering her head to tease the child, but when she looked up, the smile on her face faded slightly.

When Mu Hua saw us, his face suddenly became cold. However, when he saw Qian Wu coming from behind, he calmed down a little, and walked over and said, "Where have you gone?"

Qian Wu said: "I will accompany her to see Aunt Liu's tomb."

Mu Hua looked at me and then looked at Huang Tianba. For some reason, when she saw Huang Tianba holding my child, a light of displeasure flashed across her eyes. Huang Tianba didn't say anything, lowered her head and carefully returned the child to me.

Mu Hua snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned back to the room.

The three of us stood in the garden. Qian Wu said nothing, so he turned around and left first. Huang Tianba turned his head and said to me, "You go back to the house to rest. My news has been released. As long as there is news from Liu Saner, it will be sent back immediately. Don't worry too much."

I nodded, and he turned around and walked towards the monastery.

I also want to turn around and walk into the room I temporarily stayed in, but before I could walk over, Huang Tianba had already entered the room and the door was closed, but before I could close, I heard Mu Hua's voice say coldly: "I haven't been home for two days. Once I get home, I'll go see her first. You are so caring for her."

Huang Tianba seemed to be silent for a moment before saying, "She has been waiting for news from Liu Saner. She can't eat and can't sleep. I have news, so of course I have to tell her first to make her feel at ease."

"She is waiting for news from her husband. Am I waiting for my husband to come back?"

"...Mu Hua, I just went out to do business, but this time Liu Saner was chased by the government, the matter was very complicated. You should understand which one is more important."

"I do not understand!"

Mu Hua said loudly, with a hint of crying voice, and said, "I only see you circling around her every day and doing everything for her, but what about me, what have you done for me?"
