"For a woman, giving birth is equivalent to going around the gate of hell, but Qingcheng's mother can be said to have stepped through it. By that time, she was already in a very bad state."
"So Qingcheng's mother couldn't survive after giving birth to Qingcheng?" Ling Xuewei finally understood.
"When the city lord found Qingcheng's mother, he wanted someone to keep an eye on her and brought her back. I also went with the guards to search." Wang Caifeng said, "At that time, Qingcheng's mother also seemed to understand that she would not survive.
How long has it been, so she entrusted Qingcheng to me before she died..."
"What about the secret scroll that was stolen by Qingcheng's mother? Have you recovered it?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"No!" Wang Caifeng shook her head, "I asked Qingcheng's mother where the secret scroll was, but she didn't want to tell me. We had dug almost three feet of ground where she lived. With the death of Qingcheng's mother, the secret scroll disappeared.
It has also completely lost its trace.”
"Then you took Qingcheng's mother's body and the infant Qingcheng back to Red Moon City?" Ling Xuewei said.
"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its children. No matter how much the city lord hates Qingcheng's mother, he can't kill his daughter with his own hands. Qingcheng's mother is dead, and no one knows the whereabouts of the secret scroll, so Qingcheng's mother steals red wine in the library.
The matter of the Moon City Secret Scroll is considered complete.
It's over. The city lord sent Qingcheng to the island in the middle of the lake for strict supervision. He never wanted to see Qingcheng again in his life. He transferred all his hatred for Qingcheng's mother to Qingcheng. He kept Qingcheng alive, perhaps for
Let Qingcheng atone for Chen Jiayao's sins!"
"It turns out that I am a child who was not blessed when I was born..." After listening to Wang Caifeng's story, Qingcheng felt very depressed. "Since my mother betrayed my father, why did she give birth to me again? She gave birth to me.
Just to make my father hate me?"
"Qingcheng, all this has passed. This is the grudge of the previous generation. It should not be involved with one of your children. It is really unfair to you!" Wang Caifeng pulled Qingcheng to the chair and sat down.
Come down.
"Madam City Lord, if the City Lord hates Qingcheng because of Qingcheng's mother, then where did the saying that Qingcheng is an unlucky person come from?" Ling Xuewei continued to ask.
"How could the guards who were responsible for guarding the island in the middle of the lake know too much inside information? Such irresponsible rumors were just spread out through false rumors when they saw that the person they were guarding was the direct daughter of the city lord."
Wang Caifeng sighed helplessly.
"Fortunately, this rumor is only spread among dozens of guards in a small area like the island in the middle of the lake. Miss Ling is a smart person. You know that the more you suppress such rumors, the more they will believe it to be true.
, I saw that this rumor would not have much impact, so I didn’t care about it. The reason why Qingcheng is not loved by the city lord is entirely because Qingcheng’s mother betrayed the city lord and betrayed Red Moon City!"
"Qingcheng is also thanks to the care of the city lord, Madam, over the years. Otherwise, I believe Qingcheng would have suffered a lot on the island in the middle of the lake." Ling Xuewei said with a smile.
"Qingcheng's life is really too hard. When her mother died, she was just a baby in swaddling clothes. She doesn't even have a single memory about her mother. There is no need for the city lord to treat a girl like this.
My own daughter, but the city lord was very angry at that time, and I couldn’t persuade him."
Wang Caifeng sighed repeatedly.
"I admit that I have never liked Qingcheng's mother very much, but Qingcheng is innocent. Since Chen Jiayao promised her to take care of Qingcheng before she died, I must keep my word and at least protect Qingcheng Zhouquan within my ability!"
"The wife of the city lord is really a straightforward person. I guess your purpose of coming here today is not to tell us about the past more than ten years ago, right?" Ling Xuewei looked straight at Wang Caifeng.
"Since I can receive the news that the Qingcheng girl next to Miss Ling is the wanted criminal in Hongyue City, Hongyue City, other elders must have also received the news."
Wang Caifeng took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She suddenly became serious.
"The order to kill Qingcheng without mercy this time was given by the city lord himself before he fell into coma. Once the elders confirm Qingcheng's identity, they will strictly implement the city lord's order. Several elders of Red Moon City have advanced cultivation skills.
It’s unfathomable, if you continue to stay in Red Moon City, there is only one way to die!”
"Does the Madam of the City Lord want us to leave Red Moon City?" Ling Xuewei frowned.
"If you don't take advantage of this opportunity and leave immediately, you may not be able to leave even if you delay for a while." Wang Caifeng nodded.
"But Qingcheng is not a traitor, she is also a victim!" Ling Xuewei didn't like it very much when she ran away from Hongyue City like a fugitive.
Besides, if Qingcheng just left like this, wouldn't it have confirmed her crime of betraying Red Moon City?
"I also know that what happened on Huxin Island was not done by Qingcheng. Qingcheng has never colluded with outsiders, but so what?" Wang Caifeng's tone was full of helplessness, "The elders of Hongyue City will not listen to Qingcheng's explanation.
, The city lord doesn’t know when it will take him to wake up. Even if the city lord can wake up, do you think you can make the city lord believe that Qingcheng was unjust and withdraw the pursuit order he issued?"
"It seems that Red Moon City can no longer accommodate the two of us." Ling Xuewei did not deny that what Wang Caifeng said was very reasonable.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what the truth is at all. What matters is the person who has the power of life and death, and the outcome he is willing to believe is the truth.
"I have arranged everything. Miss Ling, you and Qingcheng can pack up a little and leave the city immediately!" Wang Caifeng said to Ling Xuewei sincerely, "Miss Ling, I will ask you to take care of Qingcheng from now on!"
"Madam City Lord, the hundreds of miles around Red Moon City are all your territory. Even if I take Qingcheng out of the main city of Red Moon City, the elders of Red Moon City will only want Qingcheng if they are determined to do so.
We have no place to escape even with our lives!" Ling Xuewei said in a deep voice.
"The city lord's pursuit order is only limited to Hongyue City. As long as you leave Hongyue City, there will be no more problems." Wang Caifeng said, "Besides the fact that I have often visited the island in the middle of the lake in the past few years, Hongyue City
None of the elders in Moon City have ever seen Qingcheng on the island in the middle of the lake. So as long as Qingcheng leaves Hongyue City, she will be safe, and there are only a few people who are familiar with Qingcheng in Hongyue City!"
"I understand. As long as Qingcheng doesn't stay in Hongyue City, no one will be caught and identified personally. It is impossible for the elders of Hongyue City because there are just rumors that there is a girl around me who is suspected of being Hongyue Qingcheng.
, they will come after Qingcheng!" Ling Xuewei nodded, "Mrs. City Lord, thank you for coming here to help us."
"I have watched Qingcheng grow up. I can't just watch her being killed as a traitor!" Wang Caifeng said, "If you think about it carefully, it is a good thing that Qingcheng can leave Hongyue City. Even if she can be washed
To clear her grievances, she must continue to stay on Huxin Island, so she might as well take this opportunity to get rid of Red Moon City completely. Even if Qingcheng was trying to atone for her mother's sins before, after so many years, these sins should be punished.
The redemption is complete.”
"Madam City Lord, please allow me to say hello to a few of my friends who are traveling with us. We can pack up a little and leave immediately!" Ling Xuewei made a quick decision.
If Red Moon City really wanted to take action against them, Ling Xuewei and the others would not survive even if they had ten lives.
Fortunately, the city lord's wife wanted to let them go and was not planning to kill them.
Qingcheng's identity has been exposed, and more importantly, Qingcheng is burdened with the grudges of the previous generation, and there is no room for her in Red Moon City.
For Ling Xuewei and others, staying in Red Moon City is no different from seeking death. Leaving as soon as possible is the best choice.
"My son Hongyue Huyuan knows a shortcut out of the city, and he has the token of Hongyue City in his hand. It is very convenient to get in and out. He will take you guys out of the city in person soon." Wang Caifeng told Ling Xuewei.
After knowing her plan, "I will send a guard to wait at the door. Miss Ling, when you are ready, just tell the guard and the guard will take you to Yuan'er's place."
"Mrs. City Lord, you took such trouble for us." Ling Xuewei expressed her gratitude.
"Qingcheng, after we say goodbye today, I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again!" Wang Caifeng looked at Qingcheng and couldn't help but shed tears again, "You have to take good care of yourself, you know?"
Wang Caifeng took a deep look at Qingcheng, as if she was worried that if she stayed here, she would be reluctant to say goodbye to Qingcheng.
Wang Caifeng hugged Qingcheng hard and left the villa where Ling Xuewei was temporarily staying without even saying hello.
"Xuewei..." Qingcheng looked at Ling Xuewei helplessly.
Qingcheng was deeply affected by her life experience, and she has not been able to recover until now.
"Hurry up and pack your things! It seems that we can't stay in Red Moon City for long." Ling Xuewei patted Qingcheng on the shoulder, "If there is anything that happens, let's talk about it after we leave here. I will go and inform Senior Liu and Mr. Zhang now."
.”
"The story told by the city lord's wife... how feasible it is..." Qingcheng didn't have much confidence to say this.
"To be honest, I don't understand the city lord's wife, but from a motive point of view, she has no reason to harm you." Ling Xuewei and Qingcheng analyzed the city lord's wife, "Because in this city lord's mansion, anyone who knows your existence,
Everyone knows that the city lord hates your daughter very much, and even harbors hatred for you."
