Chapter 102
When Xia Yuqing helped the old madam to the front hall, Wu Jun was pacing anxiously, while Su Qingyan was sitting on the chair beside him . His face was a little pale, and below his eyes were two black eyebags .
Xia Yuqing glanced at the dark circles under Su Qingyan’s eyes . Alas, this little face is really pale . It shouldn’t be the case where they were working hard until dawn, could it? Can the second master’s waist stand that?
When the two n looked up at the sound of footsteps, seeing Xia Yuqing and the group, they were stupefied . “Mother, why are you here?”
“There was such a loud ruckus, how could I not co? What happened?” The old lady looked at the two with disapproval .
Su Qingyan glanced at the big mouths that followed the old lady . He had told them not to open their mouths, yet there were still a few fish that leaked out of the net .
“Madam, it’s really nothing . Big brother and I can handle it . Don’t worry, just go back and rest . ”
The old lady heard the words and frowned: “Qingyan, I might be hard of sight but I am not blind . If it is a trivial matter, why would both Wu Jun and you both need to appear? Look at your ugly faces . You must not have slept all night . Don’t hide it from . Mother has eaten more rice than you have traveled . If you say it out, maybe I could help . ”
Wu Jun and Su Qingyan looked at each other with a little hesitation on their faces . The old lady twisted her eyebrows and said lowly, “Speak . ”
The two n shuddered, then Wu Jun was suddenly pushed out by Su Qingyan . He didn’t know where to put his hands and feet when he spat out: “Mother... it’s like this . There was a sudden change in the back mountains last night . A few brothers brought so people over, but... I thought it was just so passing crocodile, but I didn’t expect that those people were well-trained . They don’t seem like people from Jiang Hu, but rather... ”
“Do you suspect that those people were sent by the palace?” The old lady raised a brow but there was no fluctuation on her face, this made Su Qingyan even more nervous .
Wu Jun swallowed hard and nodded .
With a slam, the old lady slapped her palm on the table next to her . This directly shook the tea cups on the table to the ground, making a cracking sound .
“How dare they?! We have all fled for so many years, far away from the capital and far away from the palace . Are they so desperate to want to put us to death, really... really...”
Seeing that the old lady was turning red in the face and getting breathless, Xia Yuqing hurried forward to help soothe her . But she was puzzled .
When she heard about the imperial court, Xia Yuqing was a little surprised . Could there be so resentnt against the imperial court?
If you think about it carefully, since Feng Tingye already knew that she was in this cottage, why not imdiately take soone up the mountain to take her back, but instead disguise himself to investigate the truth? Could it be that the Ultra Se Lord really has grudges with the people in this strong hold? Was he worried that if he rushed up the hill he might warn the snake and get her implicated in it?
But that’s not right . If he was worried about not attacking the mountain at first, why now...
If Feng Tingye was really going to attack the stronghold, he would definitely take her away last night and not put her in danger . You should know that she was still pregnant with his child . For this reason, Xia Yuqing beca more and more confused .
Unable to understand, Xia Yuqing decided to investigate from the old lady first: “Old Madam, I hear you talk about the imperial court... Do you have any disputes with the court? Otherwise, why would the court send troops to give you trouble?”
The old lady let out a sigh when she heard Xia Yuqing’s question . She couldn’t help turning her head and take a deep look at Xia Yuqing . She looked at Xia Yuqing with a little guilty conscience . She has let... the cat out of the bag .
Unexpectedly, the old lady sighed quietly, holding Xia Yuqing’s hand and whispered softly: “Now that it has co to this, telling you this, is nothing . ”
“Godmother...” After hearing those words, Su Qingyan was shocked . He looked at Xia Yuqing with a bit of precaution . He always felt that this woman was not as harmless as she looked on the surface . Moreover he felt weird how the old madam who never liked strangers could trust her so easily .
The old lady shook her head at Su Qingyan: “They have already co to the door . Even if we don’t say it, they will know . Speaking of it, we have troubled you . ”
The old lady took Xia Yuqing’s hand and her face was slightly down: “This matter started from your brother Wu’s dad, who was a famous general of the current emperor’s dad . He had made great achievents when he was young and was highly respected in court . ”
Famous general?!! Xia Yuqing’s eyes narrowed sharply . The big master’s dad was a forr famous general? How could the big master and the old madam fall to this state then? Could it be that the dad with great achievents did sothing taboo to the king and beca cannon fodder?
“Although his father was invincible on the battlefield and was good at leading soldiers, he was not proficient at all in court . In addition, he was straight-headed and unwilling to be contaminated with so ** officials, thus he offended quite a few people . Later on during the battle between the brothers for the throne, his father intended to stay out of it and not get involved . But who would have thought he would be plotted against, causing our entire Wu Family... . . to be massacred .
Only I was able to escape with Jun Er . Following a close aide who had fought through dangerous situations with his father, we fled all the way to this place . Just when we got settled, unexpectedly after so many years, the court still refused to let go of this son and widow duo!”At the end, the old lady’s eyes already clearly showed hatred .
Xia Yuqing was taken aback, her heart trembled . The hatred of annihilation was a big deal . If the people who attacked the mountain today were really the army of the Ultra Se Lord, then how should she handle herself? In terms of feelings and reason, she should stand on the side of the Ultra Se Lord, but the people in this strong hold are not bad people . Sell her friends for glory, how can she do that!
Xia Yuqing pursed her lips and reluctantly smiled, “So that is what happened . ”
When the old lady saw Xia Yuqing’s face a little pale, she thought that she was scared and hurriedly said: “That’s why we have troubled you . I wanted you to stay here for a few more days, but I didn’t expect... rest assured though, Jun Er and the rest will protect you well and won’t allow you to be hurt . “
After hearing the words of the old madam, Xia Yuqing’s heart ward . Her eyes could not help beco a little red: “Old Madam, please don’t say that . If it were not for the two masters taking us in, Xi Er and I would be wandering around alone long ago, who knows where . ”
Xia Yuqing looked up at Su Qingyan and Wu Jun, then bit her lip, tentatively asking: “Old Madam, you said that Brother Wu’s father was killed wrongly when the emperor was fighting for the throne . Was the person who frad the general... the emperor?”
The old lady froze and replied: “That’s not it . ”
Xia Yuqing’s face lit up . Since the emperor did not do it, the feud of killing the father should not be counted on His Majesty’s head . In this case, if she ca forward to intercede, he should be willing to let them go .
Xia Yuqing just wanted to say sothing good for Feng Tingye when the old lady added a sentence: “But when the accident happened, Wu Jun’s father once wrote a letter with his own blood asking the emperor to save us, mother and son duo . But who knew that the emperor would just take the blood letter and not do anything . He just simply watched my Wu family almost disappear . Fortunately... there were so brothers who ca to help . But unfortunately they all had the sa end as Wu Jun’s father... there is no one good in the royal family!”
“......” The words hanging on Xia Yuqing’s mouth were swallowed down . Can’t you breathe, old lady? It’s true that this is a deep hatred for him not coming to save him, but old lady, you can’t knock down the entire boat of people! How can she open her mouth now? How can new hatred be ford from these old hatreds? I’m so tired, I feel like I’m going to be caught between both sides!! ~ o (> _
