Liu Yunniang stood quietly at the window of the inn, gazing at the bustling streets of the capital, but the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger like a tide.

After the divorce, according to common sense, she should have returned to Jiangnan as soon as possible with her daughter Ye Xiaoxiao.

However, at this moment she was in deep hesitation.

She had already seen that the Princess Pingle, whom she had never met, was no good and would definitely not give up. And Ye Wenbo was even more greedy and would never be willing to give up.

After all, she took her dowry with her, and that dowry would undoubtedly be a great temptation to some people with ulterior motives.

She had asked Manager Wang to investigate thoroughly the matter as to how Ye Wenbo could purchase a mansion in Beijing.

All we know is that he pawned a few calligraphy and paintings, and used the money he got from them to purchase his current mansion and the betrothal gift for the princess.

Others may not know the details of those paintings, but Liu Yunniang knows it clearly.

Those were clearly her dowry. If Ye Wenbo hadn't taken those paintings away before, she might have still had a glimmer of hope. But now, he has tasted the sweetness, how could he give up so easily?

Liu Yunniang sighed softly and slowly turned back to her room. Her daughter Ye Xiaoxiao was reading a book quietly, and when she saw her mother coming back, she smiled sweetly.

"Mom, when will we go back to Jiangnan?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked expectantly. Liu Yunniang gently touched her daughter's head and said softly, "It will be soon, Xiaoxiao, don't worry."

But she knew very well in her heart that she could not easily leave the capital before this feeling of uneasiness was eliminated. At least in the capital, where the emperor was standing, those people would be more or less cautious.

Liu Yunniang had already witnessed the cruelty of Princess Pingle and the greed of Ye Wenbo. Once they left the capital and lost the deterrence of the emperor, they would surely attack her and her daughter even more unscrupulously.

In the capital, she still had the protection of General Xiao Mu. Although Liu Yunniang didn't want to rely on others all the time, Xiao Mu's presence did give her a sense of security. If she and her daughter were attacked on the way, and she and her daughter were left alone, the consequences would be disastrous.

Moreover, she was also patiently waiting for the right time. She wanted to see what Princess Pingle and Ye Wenbo would do next so that she could prepare a response plan in advance.

She couldn't leave blindly, otherwise she would most likely fall into a more dangerous situation.

Liu Yunniang looked at her well-behaved daughter, her heart filled with guilt.

She knew very well that her indecision had made her daughter feel uneasy.

She secretly hated those high and mighty people in her heart. It was obvious that she and her daughter were the most innocent, but they were the ones who were forced into a desperate situation.

Liu Yunniang began to carefully analyze the current situation.

Princess Pingle has the support of the Queen Mother and has great power in the capital. Ye Wenbo will certainly obey Princess Pingle's orders for money and power. She must find a way to break this situation, otherwise she and her daughter will never have peace.

Now Ye Wenbo has not yet established a firm foothold in the capital, and the only one he can rely on is Princess Pingle. But what if his backer falls?

Naturally, Liu Yunniang would not be so arrogant as to think that she, a commoner woman, could defeat the princess of the royal palace.

But if she let others manipulate her life at will, she would be unwilling to do so.

Last time, Mo Feng beside General Xiao was obviously very interested in the chain crossbows in Liu Qing and Liu Yun's hands. Liu Yunniang didn't know much about it, but she just thought it was powerful, so she gave it to Liu Qing and the others.

But now she realized that most of the crossbows at that time were single crossbows, but the chain crossbows in the space could not only fire continuously, but also their power remained unchanged, not to mention other weapons.

If possible, perhaps she could use the weapons in this space to find real protection for herself and Xiaoxiao.

She couldn't rely on General Xiao for nothing, and didn't want to owe too many favors, but what if this was a deal? Liu Yunniang secretly thought that if she could use these weapons to make a deal with General Xiao Mu or the people behind him, she might be able to gain real stability for herself and her daughter.

Ye Xiaoxiao also noticed that something was wrong with her mother. She had thought too simply before.

Alas, I thought my mother was free after divorcing that scumbag father, but she obviously overlooked the power and status in ancient times and the huge disparity between the noble and the humble.

Just like now, Princess Pingle had clearly attacked them, but they had no power to fight back, and they had to be on guard against her attacking again at all times.

Mother must be worried that Princess Pingle will attack them on the way. Instead of that, they might as well not go back.

Now that they have met, she has to think of a way to find the princess's weakness.

Although they don't have this power, they are just ordinary people. But she has space, if it's not possible, she can collect a few treasures to see if there is anyone who knows the value of them?
