Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Mother Mu Song Xin Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Mother Mu Song Xin ng Yunzheng took a deep breath and nodded, “Yes, they certainly intended to kill to silence others. The old woman who had originally served my mother was stabbed to death on the spot by that man.”
“He even wanted to stab my mother as well, but the imperial concubine stopped him. Although my mother was emaciated, she still looked decent, and the imperial concubine was envious. She couldn’t stand my mother overshadowing her, so she wanted to tornt her before killing her.”
“The imperial concubine was leaving the palace to visit her family at that ti. She had an elder brother at ho, who was as lustful as his life depended on it. The imperial concubine intended to give my mother to her brother.”
Shu Yu clenched his fingers, “What about that despicable man? Did he agree?”
Despicable man?
ng Yunzheng thought for a mont, “Indeed, he was a despicable man.”
Of course, the despicable man agreed. They tied up his mother and took her directly to the imperial concubine’s maternal ho, Liu Mansion, where they locked her in a small room and had a maid watch over her, waiting for that lecherous brother to co over at night.
However, his mother was lucky. That night, Liu Mansion was attacked by assassins.
The imperial concubine thought the assassins were targeting her. In a panic and rush to escape, she cut a bloody path and then disguised herself to leave through the back door. In her haste to return to the palace, she took most of the guards from the mansion with her.
But after she left, the assassins showed no sign of stopping.
They were targeting Liu Mansion. With the mansion’s guards diminished, it presented them with an opportunity.
Apart from those who hid in a secret room, most of the Liu Family mbers were brutally killed.
Song Xin was alone in the small room, terrified, but with the chaos outside, no one ca to check on her.
She struggled greatly to get the ropes off and barely managed to open the door, only to find the place filled with dreadful screams.
Yet, amidst such chaos lay her only chance to escape.
Song Xin didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Fortunately, the room where she was locked was in a secluded location. The assassins were too busy killing the masters of Liu Mansion to pay attention here.
After leaving the small room, she saw the body of the maid who had been watching her lying in the courtyard.
This person’s figure was similar to her own. Song Xin clenched her teeth, dragged the body back into the room, changed into her clothes, tied herself up with ropes haphazardly, and then… set a fire in the yard.
Since Liu Mansion was already ablaze everywhere, with the assassins having brought tung oil and spread it in several places,
If the room caught fire and the body inside was burned beyond recognition, the people of Liu Mansion would probably assu she was dead.
Song Xin couldn’t be sure, but that was all she could do.
Previously, she had no hope for life, but now it was different. She wanted to survive.
She was pregnant, and even though the child had half the blood of that man, it was still her child.
Song Xin had family but felt as if she had none. This child had beco her only family, her only reliance.
Driven by an unprecedented hope, Song Xin completed all these tasks, and by then, quite so ti had passed. This was the capital, and the officials usually arrived quickly, but it seed sothing had delayed them, so by the ti they arrived, Liu Mansion was already drastically changed.
The assassins, after killing Liu Family’s elder brother, began to retreat and clashed with the arriving officials.
Song Xin took this critical mont to escape along with so other maids and servants of Liu Mansion.
After escaping, she encountered ng Pei—ng Yunzheng’s adoptive father.
