Divorced woman with child travels through time

Li Wan slowly woke up and immediately trembled when she saw the wooden figure glaring at her.

"It's him! It's all his fault! That damned man, you can curse me however you want, but if I say anything more, I'm the one who's wrong!" Li knelt at the prison gate, banging her head against the wooden bars until it bled, pleading, "Just let the children go, Rui-ge'er. I didn't interfere, but I didn't harm you either. I just had you sold far away, I didn't take your life."

"So, should I thank you?" Wood looked at her sarcastically. "I won't let you get away with this. You think you can get my forgiveness so easily? No way!"

"Then what do you want?" Li stared blankly at him, her head tattered and bleeding. "What do you want in order to spare my child?"

"Go to hell! He go to hell! You all go to hell!" Woody laughed maniacally. "But do you believe me? Even if you die, I won't let them go! Hahahaha!"

"Fine, I'll die, just please spare Fang'er's life for his innocence! I beg you!" Li suddenly smiled sincerely at him, "To be honest, I really didn't mean to kill you! Really!"

Having said that, he turned around resolutely and slammed his head against the wall behind him! In an instant, his brains exploded, and he was dead beyond any doubt!

"No! Sister!" Li Wan, lying on the ground, was so frightened she couldn't speak. After regaining her senses, she crawled to her feet, reached out, and looked at Li Shi's corpse not far away, weeping bitterly. "Ahhh, why did you do this?!"

Mu Tou remained silent, surprised that this woman was quite strong-willed.

The girl was startled and turned her head away, unable to bear looking at him.

Li died, but her head was still looking towards the wooden statue, as if she had died with her eyes open in disbelief.

The wooden man stood there for a long time, listening to Li Wan go from sobbing to being speechless, before finally saying, "Let's go!"

"Okay!" The girl had no desire to stay any longer. The two left the cell, and the glaring sunlight burned their faces. Looking at the shadow behind him, a sense of gloom seemed to follow him. He had avenged his family, but he didn't seem as happy as he had imagined.

Three days later, Zhao Jian looked at the memorial presented by Song Wujin with a depressed expression.

"They've been gone for three days already? And you're only finding out now? Huh!" Zhao Jian slammed the document heavily onto the table, rubbing his throbbing temples, extremely annoyed.

"They reported it to the authorities, you know that?"

Song Wujin knelt upright, his clothes soaked with sweat, and honestly replied, "It was my fault for failing in my duties, but the main blame lies with Yingtian Prefecture. The Military Patrol Bureau received the report but did not even answer it."

Zhao Jian felt a pang of pity; he'd been too busy lately, so it wasn't entirely his fault. "Get up. How's Youzhou?"

"Your Majesty, according to our scouts, there are nearly a thousand Liao people disguised as locals in Youzhou. Because the Youzhou military governor opened up border trade, Youzhou has prospered considerably, but it is also fraught with danger!" Song Wujin stood up nimbly.

"Okay, pass the message on to Wang Erniu. I hope he won't let you down. Also, tell him about the three children as well. It was my mistake; I forgot that these children aren't being looked after by an adult." Zhao Jian was slightly helpless. He already knew what had happened. It was normal for the relatives of officials transferred from other places to the capital to be discriminated against; it was his fault for not thinking things through.

"Get that Sun Zheng off the post! What kind of official is he? So many people died and he didn't even know anything about it. He's just a useless bum!" Zhao Jian was furious and decided to take action against someone first.

"Yes!"

On the day Sun Zheng was dismissed from his horse, the top scholar Li Wenji took office, and Li Wan was sentenced to be beheaded in three days. After the maidservant finished reading the list in Kaifeng Prefecture, she carefully read it several times and confirmed it again before returning to the mansion and telling Mu Tou.

Wood didn't feel very happy either. He received news that his three children were going to look for their mother. They were only ten years old and dared to go north alone. They had real courage.

As if he had just thought of something, Mu Tou smiled and went to find the eldest princess.

“Grandmother, I’m not young anymore and I want to find something to do. I don’t have a talent for studying, but my martial arts skills are improving. I want to experience the Imperial Guard!”

Zhao Yirou smiled at him and beckoned, "Come, sit down!"

She gently pulled him to sit down beside her, asking, "Why do you have this thought? Is it really true?"

He's still a child at heart; he'll only be fifteen at the end of the year. Although he's a young man, he already has the spirit of a soldier.

"Really! I don't want to waste my youth. With Grandmother around, my official career will be easier. Of course, I'll rely on her." Mu Tou rarely acted coquettishly towards her.

"Hahaha, good, my Rui'er has finally seen the light. Grandmother will plan everything for you." Zhao Yirou laughed heartily. Ever since she married the wrong person, she thought she had no hope in this life, but she never expected that her child could produce such a remarkable person.

With Zhao Yirou's help, Mu Tou got his wish and became a soldier in the Imperial Guard. As for how to rise in rank, that's up to him.

Zhao Jian had some expectations for the grandson the princess had found, and specially invited him to meet him. However, after seeing his dull and unresponsive expression, he couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased. So, after giving him some gifts, he stopped asking about him.

On their way north, Wang Feng and his companions rode at breakneck speed. These three children were really fast; in just a few days, they had vanished without a trace. Could they have really gotten lost?

Fengqiu County, a place named after the "Qiu" land bestowed by Emperor Gaozu of Han (Liu Bang), is where many opera troupes come from, and almost every household can sing a few lines.

As the three of them passed by, they heard the melodious strains of opera singing. It was the story of Tang Sanzang's journey to the West, and most importantly, the Three Battles with the White Bone Demon. Many children were cheering and shouting, which was irresistible. They immediately decided to stay in the town for two days and listen to the play before leaving! Thus, Wang Feng and his companions perfectly missed the performance.

At night, the three of them booked a superior room, took a nice shower, and squeezed together to sleep. Not long after they lay down, Xiao Hao sensed something was wrong. Where did the smell of smoke come from?

He nudged the two children next to him, only to find they were fast asleep, which was clearly not normal.

Xiao Hao covered his nose and mouth with the blanket, took a deep breath, and began to hold his breath. No, he couldn't hold it in anymore. What should he do? Xiao Hao thought for a moment, took out the antidote pill hidden under his pillow, put one in his mouth, took out a handful of small darts and stuck them in his hair, then took another breath and pretended to fall into a deep sleep.

Not long after, perhaps the drug was too strong, and Xiao Hao's antidote seemed unable to neutralize all the poison, or perhaps the drug had not yet fully taken effect. He secretly opened his eyes and saw the door being gently pried open, and several tall and burly men sneaking in.

They clearly knew the situation of the three people and went straight to the bundle where the clothes were. Xiao Hao could also hear the clinking of silver coins and the three people talking quietly and happily. In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the bedside.

They each carried one of them, and then simply carried the three of them on their backs.

"These three are good-looking, easy targets!"

"Stop talking so much, let's go!"
