Qingying pulled Meng Hongshuang up from the ground and dragged her out.
When Meng Hongshuang heard that she was being executed in the street, her face changed with fright. She cried and shouted: "No, I don't want to die, cousin, cousin save me."
But until she was taken away, the cousin in her mouth never appeared.
Mu Yunan said: "It seems that the person who helped her was her cousin. I wonder where they got the courage?"
Xiao Chengyi sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Meng Hongshuang was too greedy. She wanted to save her parents even if she escaped by herself. In the end, she harmed others and herself."
Mu Yun'an nodded: "As long as we catch Meng Hongshuang's cousin, this matter will be settled."
After a pause, she added: "Don't cause yourself more trouble in the future."
The corners of Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, and he sighed silently, stretched out his hand to hold Mu Yun'an's hand and said: "Okay, I will hide my identity and this face when I go out. Is that okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Rufeng snorted: "I think it's best if you don't go out."
After leaving these words, he waved his sleeves and turned and walked away.
Xiao Chengyi touched his nose and whispered: "Do you think dad is getting older? His temper is really getting worse."
Mu Yun'an couldn't laugh or cry: "He obviously cares about you. My father just talks about being disgusted with you, but in fact he cares more than anyone else."
Of course Xiao Chengyi knew: "It's just for your sake."
Mu Yun'an's cheeks turned red and she pulled him and said, "Okay, let's go back and take a shower and change clothes."
The young couple chatted and laughed before going out and returned to the inn.
After Xiao Chengyi finished changing his clothes, Liu Zhengchun also came. He saw Xiao Chengyi kneeling on the ground as soon as he lifted his robe and said: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. I am very grateful to you."
Xiao Chengyi looked at him and asked, "Did you already know that your wife and child were arrested?"
Liu Zhengchun lowered his head and said: "I know, the day before the prince came to Yunzhou, his subordinates received a letter saying that my wife and son were in his hands, and he asked me to let Meng Tonghui and his wife go.
The letter also contained the longevity lock Ye'er was wearing, but the official didn't know it was related to Meng Hongshuang at the time."
Xiao Chengyi's eyes were heavy: "Why didn't you say something about such a big thing?"
Liu Zhengchun said: "When I saw the letter, my mind went blank. After calming down, I sent someone to Qixian County and confirmed that my wife and child were indeed missing.
The whole night, I was in trouble and pain, not knowing what to do?
Later, I dug out a letter written by my wife and read it countless times, and finally made up my mind not to give in.
Whether it's my wife or my children, they are all proud of me and I don't want to let them down."
Xiao Chengyi's face was solemn: "You are simply pedantic. If you can't even protect your wife and children, how can you protect the people?
I know this situation is not an option, but if I don’t work hard, how will I know there’s no turning around?”
Liu Zhengchun said: "What the prince taught me is that the subordinate realized his mistake."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him: "What's the use of knowing your mistakes? It's a good thing that you married a good wife. If I were an ignorant person, I would have abandoned you long ago. And based on what you did, you will wait for the rest of your life."
Live a lonely life."
Liu Zhengchun said nothing. After all, what Xiao Chengyi said was true. He was useless and failed to protect his wife and children.
Mu Yun'an couldn't stand it anymore, so she persuaded: "Okay, brother Yi, let Master Liu get up."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "Get up."
Liu Zhengchun thanked him and stood up, then heard Xiao Chengyi ask: "Are your wife and children okay?"
