Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

Chapter 79: It seems like I guessed the right answer to a big question

It turned out to be the case.

Ling Qiqi had asked Lu Cheng to help her check the details of Yu'er and Liu a long time ago, but the information found about Liu was extremely limited, as if it was deliberately hidden by someone, so she had always been wary of Liu, and usually trusted Yu'er, who is now Qi Qing with a different identity, more.

Later, she gradually noticed that every time Liu saw the jade pendant her mother left her, she would be a little dazed, so she guessed that Liu knew her mother, and then she checked again based on this clue, but the results were still very limited, the information was true and false, and very incoherent.

Now that she finally had the answer, Ling Qiqi felt like she had guessed the right answer to a big question, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Ling Qiqi, who was in a good mood, said to Liu:

"Mammy, please get up quickly."

After saying that, he immediately shouted outside the house:

"Qi Qing, untie the man and let him in."

Liu didn't know what the Seventh Princess was going to do, so she continued to kneel, but she turned her head and looked towards the door curiously.

After a while, Young Master Liu came into the room with red eyes. When he saw Liu kneeling on the ground, he shouted "Mom", then rushed over and knelt in front of Liu.

When Liu realized that it was her youngest son, she hugged him and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Ling Qiqi thought that they should leave some space for the mother and son to reminisce about the past, so she quietly pulled Pei Chufeng and Du Jingshan out of the house, asked Du Jingshan to send Pei Chufeng to the guest room, and asked Qi Qing to wait outside the house for Liu's mother and son, and she turned around and went back to the house to continue sleeping.

The next day, Ling Qiqi slept until noon. When she finally washed up and went out of the house, she saw two people standing at the door. One of them was Liu. When Liu saw her come out, she grabbed the person next to her and knelt down and kowtowed three times without saying a word.

Ling Qiqi was startled. It was too formal to be greeted like this so early in the morning, so she said:

"Mammy, don't be so polite all the time. You know I don't like people kneeling to me since I was a child. Hurry and get up."

Liu obediently pulled the person next to her to stand up. Ling Qiqi then noticed the person who had been beside Liu. This person was unwilling from head to toe. Ling Qiqi asked "unwilling":

"Who are you?"

"Reluctant" refused to speak, Liu said quickly:

"It's my youngest son, Liu Nian'an."

"Ah? Why has it changed?" Ling Qiqi was surprised.

"Before, in order to conceal her identity, Yu and Qi Qing changed her appearance." Liu continued to explain.

"Oh, then I will criticize Qi Qing later. Your craftsmanship is so poor that it has caused me mental illness."

"If it weren't for the Seventh Princess and Qi Qing, my mother and I would have gone to hell. I would die with my eyes closed if I could see my son again. I can never repay you for saving my life. I know that I have sinned deeply, and I dare not hope for the Seventh Princess to forgive me. I will atone for my sins myself."

"How do you plan to atone for your sins?" Ling Qiqi asked curiously.

"I plan to return to Beiwei to plead guilty to the emperor and identify the person who ordered me to poison."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes, I hid the remaining poison in the Bu Lao Pavilion. It is impossible for me to easily obtain such a large dose of poison and bring it into the palace. I also hid the letter that the contact person gave me before in the inn. I have asked Qi Qing to find it."

"Then how do we prove that it was done by Aunt Wu?"

"I don't have evidence, but I am the evidence."

"I understand. This matter needs to be considered carefully. I'm hungry, so I'll go eat first." Ling Qiqi was about to turn around when she saw Young Master Liu who had been acting awkwardly and silent, and said to him:

"I am officially returning your mother to you. Don't worry her too much. She has sacrificed her faith and conscience to save you."

After saying that, Ling Qiqi happily went to the living room to eat, ignoring Young Master Liu who was standing there in a daze.

Du Jingshan had been waiting for the Seventh Princess, and when he saw her coming, he quickly got up to heat up the porridge. The Seventh Princess's stomach was still too weak, and she would have stomachaches if she ate something raw or cold.

While drinking the fragrant and hot meat porridge, Ling Qiqi asked Du Jingshan who was accompanying her:

"Where's my aunt?"

"I stayed in the room and didn't leave. Qi Qing brought breakfast to me."

"Where's the third prince?"

"I returned home early in the morning."

"Oh. Let Qi Qing make something delicious for lunch. It should be so delicious that my aunt will come out as soon as she smells it."

Du Jingshan smiled and went out to discuss lunch with Qi Qing.

For lunch, a big pot of beef and potatoes was stewed, which smelled delicious. Ling Qiqi asked everyone to go to the living room to eat, including Liu's mother and son. Everyone sat around the dining table together. Ling Qiqi told everyone not to be polite and to eat as much as they wanted.

After a while, the witch doctor came into the hall in a hurry.

"Aunt is coming to eat in person?" Ling Qiqi joked.

The witch doctor glanced at Ling Qiqi, ignored her, picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table that were obviously left for her, and started eating.

Liu, who was standing next to him, stared at the witch doctor who was eating beef with relish. After a long pause, she asked tentatively:

"Who are you? Miss Zixuan?"

The great witch doctor then poked his head out of the bowl and looked at Liu while chewing the beef.

After finally chewing the meat and swallowing it, the witch doctor finally made room in his mouth to speak:

"Are you Ah Hui?"

Liu nodded excitedly, then quickly stood up and walked to the head witch doctor, performing a ceremony that no one had ever seen before, and said respectfully:

"Ah Hui has met Miss Zixuan. Miss Zixuan is at peace."

The witch doctor nodded:

"This ceremony is no longer appropriate. Let's skip it in the future. Let's eat first. We can talk after dinner."

Liu nodded and returned to her seat obediently.

After dinner, Liu followed the witch doctor back to the house and did not come out until dinner time.

After that, Ling Qiqi and her aunt also had a secret talk about Liu. Ling Qiqi wanted to verify from her aunt whether Liu's words were credible.

Fortunately, what I learned from my aunt was basically consistent with what Liu said. The Liu couple was indeed very loyal to the royal family of Yahe Kingdom, and Liu also had deep feelings for her mother. Ling Qiqi felt that if it were not so, what mother would be so cruel as to leave her hungry son at home and be willing to be a wet nurse in the cold palace? Moreover, when she was a child, Liu was very kind to her. She could feel Liu's sincerity towards her. She used to think that Liu had transferred her feelings for her child to herself, but now it seems that she also gave her the feelings for her mother.

With this layer of emotional accumulation, Ling Qiqi had some reference and judgment on Liu's poisoning. It was unlikely that Liu wanted to kill her, but Liu did make a mistake. The biggest mistake was that she chose to fight alone and did not tell her at the first time. Liu always regarded herself as a child who had not grown up, and wanted to protect herself. Little did she know that Ling Qiqi had a modern and mature soul, and her ability was obviously seriously underestimated by Liu.
