“No. Mother and father came to visit Duo Er and Ran Er,” Ye Ling immediately answered gently. “And they also…”
When he said this, he looked towards the bathroom and his face turned red. “They came to ask about why Duo Er isn’t pregnant yet.”
Ye Ling announced the reason Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi came without leaving anything out.
Ye Yang heard him and cast a glance at him. Just as he thought, he knew Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi didn’t come because they wanted to gain something.
No matter what wrong decisions they made back then, it was all because of the words, filial piety!
Otherwise, their wife might not have been Liu Duo, their family’s condition wouldn’t have gotten better and they would also have to worry about money for Ye Ling’s daily medication…
It was a wrong committed because of filial piety and they were the beneficiaries of that mistake, so how could they be so cold and heartless?
“Mo, if father and mother come next time, you are not allowed to treat them coldly! If they had not made that wrong decision, everything we have today would not exist!”
Ye Yang did something rare and said a very long sentence.
Ye Mo frowned and, although he was dissatisfied, he remained silent and didn’t retort. “I understand.”
On the other side, after Ye Liu sent Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi to their destination, he drove the bullock-cart back on the road he came from. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by many officers and soldiers.
“My friend, what is going on? Why can’t I leave town?” Ye Liu frowned slightly and asked an officer beside him, feeling puzzled.
It was quite rare for so many soldiers and officers to appear in town at the same time. It was obvious something big had happened and they were trying to catch someone!
The officer was also frowning and seemed confused. “I don’t know either. In any case, the higher-ups ordered that anyone who appears in town cannot leave until they arrest the person they are after!”
When Ye Liu heard him, he lifted his head to look at the color of the sky. The mood shown on his face didn’t really change but he felt quite anxious in his heart.
In the tailor shop’s backyard, after Little Tian calmed Wang Xiangyun’s emotions and washed away the filth, she fed her a bowl of medicine that prevented pregnancy.
Perhaps it was because she was not able to face the truth, or perhaps that her body was too tired, but Wang Xiangyun had already fallen asleep long ago after crying non-stop.
“How is the situation right now? Have they caught them yet?” Little Tian came out from the bedroom and asked Wang Xiaoliu.
After they brought Wang Xiangyun back, Little Tian asked Wang Xiaoliu to bring the token that showed her status to the government office…
“Not yet.” Wang Xiaoliu lowered his head and answered honestly.
“Useless!” Little Tian’s voice became slightly louder but she also suppressed it to avoid waking up Wang Xiangyun in the bedroom. “Go and tell them immediately that if they can’t catch the punks, they can stop wearing their black hats!” [1]
“Understood.”
Wang Xiaoliu nodded. Right after he took a few steps, Little Tian shouted at him to stop. “Wait a moment!”
He strolled over beside Wang Xiaoliu. “Notify me immediately after they are caught. I want to personally vent our lady’s anger on her behalf. I will treat them very well!”
As she spoke, Little Tian’s eyes turned especially sharp and vicious as if she turned into someone else.
When Wang Xiaoliu heard the last few words, he couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Little Tian. The viciousness in her eyes really gave him a fright.
Was this still the Little Tian whose smile was so sweet that it could penetrate people’s hearts?
“Go!”
Wang Xiaoliu heard him and immediately broke into a run, fearing to waste even one second.
Little Tian didn’t care that Wang Xiaoliu left like he was running for his life.
She had gone through a trial and been approved by the madam to be sent to be by Wang Xiangyun’s side for so many years. How could she possibly be someone who was benevolent?
She pushed open the door, entered the room, and sat beside the bed. As she looked at Wang Xiangyun, who was sleeping restlessly, her heart was filled with regret and self-blame…
