He ran straight back to Shang Qing's room.

When they arrived, Shang Qing was lying in bed, but was woken up by footsteps.

Seeing Xi'er, Shang Qing frowned, her face still showing some confusion.

"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

As she spoke, she lifted the blanket and got down, preparing to hug Xi'er.

Xi'er stepped back, avoiding Shang Qing's embrace.

Shang Qing frowned, her expression not very good, but she still squatted down and patiently said, "Xi'er, be good, don't make a fuss. I know you hate your mother, but your mother is not feeling well right now. Can we talk about it tonight?"

"what happened?"

Hearing this, Xi'er became anxious and looked at Shang Qing with worry.

To be honest, Shang Qing didn't know either.

She seemed to have been feeling a little unwell since last night, but she didn't take it to heart.

And I felt much better today, but I didn't expect to start feeling dizzy again now.

He probably caught a chill while sleeping.

Shang Qing shook her head and comforted her, "Mother is fine. As long as the three of you are alright, I will be fine!"

Shang Qing's face was full of seriousness and determination.

They are all her children. How could she bear to leave them before they grow up?

She wants to watch them grow up, get married, and start their own families!

Xi'er pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but the words seemed stuck in his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say them.

Feeling very uncomfortable, Xi'er finally raised her head after a while and looked at Shang Qing with a somewhat weak expression.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I was too willful before."

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing was stunned for a moment, and was somewhat taken aback.

She never expected that Xi'er would apologize.

When Xi'er was still young, Wang Mingli was gentle and mild-mannered, which was indeed very endearing. It's not surprising that Xi'er liked him.

She just felt that Xi'er was a bit too willful, but now that the matter was over, she didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that Shang Qing did not respond, Xi'er thought that Shang Qing was angry, so she took two steps forward and looked at Shang Qing timidly.

She raised her hand and took Shang Qing's hand.

"I was wrong before, Mother. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

She always thought it was Shang Qing's prejudice against Wang Mingli. Mr. Wang was clearly such a good person, but Shang Qing didn't like him and insisted on kicking him out.

But now that all the facts are laid out before her, how could she not believe them?

The government officials came and took Wang Mingli away. It was obvious that Wang Mingli's previous visit to their home was intended to harm them.

Sister Pan'er is right. If she hadn't opened the door, Wang Mingli wouldn't have come in.

If Wang Mingli hadn't come in, Uncle Luo wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Mother may not necessarily get hurt.

It was all her fault.

Shang Qing picked up Xi'er and walked to the bedside. He sat down on the bed, shook his head, and looked at Xi'er with some helplessness.

“I am your mother, I will never blame you, I am only doing this for your own good.”

"Just remember, no matter what happens, your mother will never harm Xi'er, never harm my child, understand?"

Xi'er nodded, her eyes turning red, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Xi'er simply buried her face in Shang Qing's arms and cried, venting her emotions.

……

a week later.

They were all sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. Gu Hui and Luo Bin each held a book in their hands, engrossed in reading it.

Shang Qing glanced at the two of them, then lowered her head and took a deep breath, her face still showing some unease.

Hearing the sigh, Luo Bin turned to look at Shang Qing, his face still showing some confusion.

But she quickly remembered something.

He raised his hand to calculate the days and asked, "It's been several days already, and there's still no news from the government?"

It was fine at first, and it went quite fast.

Chen Linlang even came over specifically to tell them that Wang Mingli had been arrested and was now in prison awaiting execution.

However, Wang Mingli killed so many people, so he can only be described as having committed heinous crimes.

Normally, such people would be executed quickly after the execution order is issued.

More than ten days have passed since Wang Mingli was arrested, and there has been no news at all.

It was as if this had never happened; not a single word of it came out.

So what does the government mean now?

Are they not planning to deal with Wang Mingli?

Shang Qing rolled her eyes at Luo Bin and said, "You're a member of the Luo family, and you're only thinking of this now."

"It's been a week already, and there's still no news about Wang Mingli, let alone the massacre of his family. It's like the news has been blocked."

She went out to take a look yesterday.

Serial murder cases are a daily staple for storytellers; they never miss a day.

After all, there are many people who enjoy listening to this kind of thing.

But when I visited yesterday, the storyteller started telling stories from the Water Margin, without mentioning the serial killer case at all.

There was no commotion below, making it very difficult for her to get any information.

Not a single word?

Upon hearing this, Luo Bin's expression also became serious.

Wang Mingli was his enemy, and he handed Wang Mingli over to the authorities in order to bring him to justice.

However, if it doesn't work, why did he hand over Wang Mingli in the first place?

This also reminded Luo Bin of his previous speculation with Shang Qing.

There were also accomplices of Wang Mingli in the government.

If this is true, then something must have happened to the government.

Luo Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that something happened to the government and this matter has been delayed?"

Shang Qing shook his head, took a deep breath, and his face was full of helplessness.

"I don't know. I'm not afraid of anything happening to the government, as long as the final result is good. What I'm afraid of is that Wang Mingli will escape."

If Wang Mingli were to be released, they would be the first targets of his revenge.

They were lucky last time to avoid Wang Mingli, but if Wang Mingli comes again, they may not be so lucky.

She couldn't help but worry that there were accomplices of Wang Mingli in the government.

Upon hearing this, Gu Hui's expression turned serious.

Xi'er lowered her head and looked at the book in her hand without saying anything, but she kept listening to the sounds coming from the other side.

Nian'er stood up and walked to Shang Qing's side, stopping solemnly. "Mother, don't worry, no matter what, I will protect you and your sisters. I won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry, Mother!"

Shang Qing nodded and reached out to pat Nian'er's head.

"Nian'er, be good, listen to me. Okay, now that there's nothing else, take your little sister out to play."

After saying that, he gave Pan'er a wink.

Although Xi'er knew who Wang Mingli was, she was afraid that he would target her first after he was released because she had liked him so much before.

These children are her life, so naturally she is unwilling!

No matter what, we must protect these three children!
