Chapter 727 Meng Mu Song Xin

Meng Yunzheng took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, of course they had to kill to silence her. The old woman who used to serve my mother was stabbed to death by that man on the spot."

"He originally wanted to stab my mother, but that palace concubine stopped him. Although my mother was thin, she was still quite beautiful. That palace concubine was jealous and couldn't stand my mother being superior to her. She wanted to torture her before killing her."

"The concubine left the palace to visit her family. She had an older brother who was a lecher. The concubine wanted to give my mother to her brother."

Shu Yu's fingers tightened. "What about that bastard? He agreed?"

What a scoundrel?

Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment, "He really is a scoundrel."

The scoundrel agreed, of course. They tied up his mother and took her directly to the Liu family mansion, the maternal home of the imperial concubine. They locked her in a small room, had a maid watch over her, and waited for his lecherous brother to come over that night.

However, his mother was lucky; that very night, the Liu family mansion was attacked by assassins.

The concubine thought the assassin was after her, so in her haste she fought her way out, disguised herself and left through the back door, rushing back to the palace and taking most of the guards with her.

But even after she left, the assassins showed no sign of stopping.

They came for the Liu residence. The fact that the Liu residence had reduced its guards gave them an opportunity.

At that time, apart from a few people who hid in the secret room, most of the Liu family members were killed.

Song Xin was alone in the small house, trembling with fear, but because of the chaos outside, no one came to check on her.

She struggled to untie the ropes, but when she opened the door, she found herself surrounded by pitiful screams.

But this chaos was precisely her only chance to escape.

Song Xin didn't want to miss out, but fortunately, the room where she was being held was in a secluded location. The assassins had all gone to kill the master of the Liu family, so no one paid attention to this place.

After Song Xin left the small house, she saw the body of the maid who had been guarding her lying in the courtyard.

The person's build was similar to her own. Song Xin gritted her teeth and dragged the person into the house. She put her own clothes on the woman, tied her up haphazardly with rope, and then... set a fire in the courtyard.

Anyway, the entire Liu mansion was on fire, and the assassins had brought tung oil, which they poured on several places.

If this house catches fire and burns the body inside beyond recognition, the Liu family would probably think she's dead.

Song Xin couldn't guarantee anything; this was all she could do.

She used to have no hope for life, but now it's different; she wants to live.

She's pregnant. Even if the child has half that man's blood, it's still her child.

Song Xin had a family, but it was as if she had no family at all. This child became her only family and her only source of comfort.

Song Xin felt an unprecedented surge of hope. After she had done all this, quite some time had passed. This was the capital city, and the soldiers would normally arrive quickly, but they were probably held up by something, so by the time they arrived, the Liu residence was completely unrecognizable.

After killing Liu's elder brother, the assassins began to retreat and fought with the arriving government troops.

Song Xin took advantage of this critical moment to escape with some other maids and servants from the Liu family.

After she came out, she ran into Meng Pei—Meng Yunzheng's adoptive father.
