Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

After the door was closed, the four of them sat around the table.

Qin Fangya looked at Hua Mingche and then at Hua Zian, wanting to know what secrets the father and son had said to each other during the time she was away that she didn't know about.

Fortunately, Hua Zian didn't make her wait too long.

"Aunt Cui'er, if I remember correctly, you have always been with the Crown Princess, right?"

When Cui'er heard him talk about the Crown Princess, she lowered her head a little, suppressed the tears that wanted to overflow, nodded and choked out, "Yes."

"I remember you have a son, right?"

When Cui'er heard Hua Zi'an talking about her son, she suddenly raised her head, and the tears that had been suppressed in her eyes burst out. She sobbed and couldn't speak.

Qin Fangya didn't know what was wrong with her. She moved the stool closer to Cui'er and patted her on the back to comfort her. "Cui'er, don't cry..."

The more she tried to persuade Cui'er, the harder she cried. In the end, she threw herself into Qin Fangya's arms and was speechless for a long time.

Hua Mingche, who already knew the general idea of ​​the matter, quickly figured out the reason and looked at Hua Zian in shock, "So, you said before that Chong'er's body was different, it was... that... that child might be..." He didn't say the rest of the words, but his eyes widened slightly as he stared at Cui'er's face.

Hua Zian's eyes also turned red and he nodded slightly.

Qin Fangya also heard something from the brief conversation between the two of them, and now she understood what was going on. Looking at Cui'er who was crying uncontrollably in her arms, she was shocked.

The woman in front of him has always been cautious and meticulous in dealing with Chong'er's affairs.

I didn't expect that she had such a heavy burden on her shoulders along the way.

Exchange your own flesh and blood for the prince's bloodline!

As a mother, what a struggle she must be going through!

She was so miserable.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released tonight, and they couldn't bear to disturb them.

It was unknown how long it took before Cui'er withdrew from Qin Fangya's arms with an apologetic look on her face, and wiped her red and swollen eyes with her sleeves.

The voice was hoarse: "Master Hua, you, you have seen my poor child, right? His body..."

"Don't worry, he is buried with the prince and others."

Cui Er heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, as if she had suddenly cheered up a lot. "Okay, okay, I hope someone will collect the body."

"Then, what happened in the Prince's Mansion that day..." Hua Zian asked cautiously. He didn't intend to uncover Cui'er's scars, but he still wanted to know how Zhao Chongqing escaped from the Prince's Mansion.

Cui'er calmed down and said, "That day, the Crown Princess suddenly found me and gave me a big bag of things. She told me to take Jiao'er, my son, and Chong'er and leave through the secret passage of the Crown Prince's Mansion..."

It turned out that after the prince sent someone to deliver the letter that day, he still felt uneasy and wanted to leave some bloodline for himself. Chong'er had always been with Cui'er and her son and was very close to them, so the prince's wife wanted Cui'er to take Chong'er away.

However, after Cui'er learned about this, she felt that if someone really wanted to ignore them as the prince said, then the person who harmed them must know Chong'er's identity.

The sudden disappearance of a child would certainly arouse suspicion, so she decisively knocked her child unconscious before leaving, and coaxed Chong'er into changing into her son's clothes.

She took Chong'er and hid quietly in the secret passage and did not leave.

When she parted with her child, she was hoping that what the prince was worried about would not happen. However, she did not expect that the entire prince's family would be massacred.

She and Chong'er hid in a secret passage and vaguely heard the sound of weapons clashing outside.

The sound gradually became quieter, but the footsteps became more and more frequent. She was afraid that it was not safe to hide in the secret passage, so she held back her tears and took Chong'er to escape from the secret passage.

The end of the secret passage happened to be near the City God Temple. She deliberately made herself and Chong'er dirty so that people could not tell their faces.

The three of them remained silent for a long time after hearing her words.

They didn't know how to describe her righteousness.

She may have had a lucky mentality when she exchanged the child, but after really losing the child, she still wholeheartedly protected Chong'er. This kind of mentality is not something that ordinary people can bear.

If it were someone else, how would she feel every time she saw Chong'er?

Bo Ren was not killed, yet he died because of him.

If she harbors resentment, then Chong'er...

"That's how I was saved by Miss Leng. I think Mr. Hua also heard about what happened next."

Cui'er finished speaking calmly.

Qin Fangya and the other two admired her seemingly indifferent appearance.

Cui'er noticed their gazes, and the calm expression on her face turned bitter. "You don't have to be like this. Chong'er grew up by my side. Although he's not my own, he's just as important to me as my son. No matter which of the two children suffers, I'll be sad. Besides, my son... my son was able to die for Chong'er, and be buried... buried beside the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. It's... it's his blessing."

Even though her voice was choked and she could barely utter a complete sentence, her expression remained expressionless and she didn't even shed a single tear.

Hua Zian and the other two looked at the stubborn and strong Cui'er in front of them and didn't know how to comfort her.

Seeing that they were all staring at her with distressed eyes, Cui'er stood up gracefully and bowed to the three of them. "Master Hua, Madam Hua, Master Hua, I hope that only a few of us know about what happened today. Chong'er is too young and I don't want him to bear a life for no reason. What happened that day had nothing to do with him. It was all my own will. I just hope that the young master will be happy in the future."

The three of them stood up, returned the greeting, and solemnly promised, "Aunt Cui'er, the three of us will not reveal a single word about what happened tonight."

Cui'er got their answer and smiled with satisfaction.

This smile was much brighter than the forced smiles of the past few days, as if it had untied the knot in my heart.

Hua Zian walked to Cui'er's side, helped her sit down, took out something from his arms and put it in Cui'er's hand, "Leave it as a souvenir."

Cui'er looked at the wolf tooth pendant in her palm, her eyes became blurry again, and she clenched her fists tightly against her heart.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Hua, thank you Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua, and I want to thank Miss Leng even more..."

***

Leng Youran walked around the governor's mansion many times but couldn't find any trace of Huanhuan. He wanted to look for her more, but for some reason his nose was itchy all night.

For fear of exposing his whereabouts, he could only slip into the space.

After entering the space, her mind became clear and she thought of Zhu Jiaojiao, who had been taken into the space by her a long time ago.

She disappeared at the entrance of the space in a flash and arrived at a warehouse that looked like a place where garbage was stored.
