After hearing this, the policeman nodded calmly, as if he was not surprised that she guessed it, and he was also certain that Xiaoguo would not make things difficult for her.

Xiaoguo looked at the other person. This kind of aura was definitely not something that ordinary people could have. If she guessed correctly, her status must have been very high before she committed the crime.

Although this person's face is full of wrinkles, his facial features are regular. It is not difficult to imagine how beautiful he was when he was young. Although his body has become hunched due to years of hard work, his proportions are well-proportioned, and I think he must have had a very good figure back then.

With a cautious attitude, Xiaoguo did not speak, but sat down and waited quietly for the other party to speak first. Originally, whoever was anxious should explain first, not to mention that the other party was the one who had a request.

The woman did not sit down as Xiaoguo invited her to, but stood aside. After a long time, she sighed softly and slowly recounted her past.

The woman's real name was Zhao Yuyan, but she took her husband's surname and was called Sun Zhao. She was the daughter of Zhao, the prefect of Yangzhou, and married the son of Sun, the prefect of Liuzhou. The two were a perfect match made in heaven.

Unfortunately, after 15 years of marriage, they were still unable to conceive and had no children. The couple, who had been in harmony at the beginning, gradually became alienated because of some external factors.

However, God still favored the two of them. In the sixteenth year of their marriage, she was diagnosed with pregnancy. The whole family was overjoyed and was carefully preparing to welcome the arrival of their first child.

The baby was a girl, after all, her first child, so she was still happy. However, Sun's family was well-off, and they were eagerly looking forward to the birth of a boy. However, things did not go as she wished. She was injured when giving birth to a daughter, and could no longer have children.

This blow cast the whole family into gloom. From then on, the husband spent his days drinking and was gradually seduced by others, becoming obsessed with beauty, power and wealth.

Within a few years, the whole family was torn apart by him, some died, some fled, and when the house was finally ransacked, only she and her young daughter were left, quietly waiting at home to accept their fate.

After five years in prison and another five years in exile, I finally came to this island. Although I still had to work, this place was like a paradise.

The families of these criminals do not have to suffer, do not have to worry, do not have to worry about where to eat, do not have to worry about catching all kinds of diseases, do not have to worry about not seeing the sun tomorrow, they do not have to worry about anything, they just have to work hard every day, eat enough, and sleep well.

But, after all, there is no freedom here...

After hearing her story, Xiaoguo felt genuine sympathy, but her sense of caution did not completely disappear. After all, up to now, she still didn't know what the other party was going to do.

After the woman finished speaking, she knelt down again, looked at Xiao Guo with tears in her eyes, and said sincerely, "Please, Madam, take my daughter away. She shouldn't be trapped here like me for the rest of her life."

Xiaoguo hurriedly grabbed her and tried to pull her up, but she refused to get up no matter what he said, as if she was saying, "If you don't agree, I won't get up forever."

"Madam, madam, madam!"

The woman grabbed Xiaoguo and cried softly, "You have seen my daughter, the skinny girl with big eyes who took you to the cellar. Her name is Yuling and she is thirteen years old. Please, please, please be kind, please, please, I kowtow to you, please, please, please..."

Xiaoguo hurriedly grabbed her, but she seemed to be very determined and could not be moved no matter how hard Xiaoguo pulled. No matter how hard Xiaoguo pulled, she did not move and kept hitting the ground.

The thumping sound of the woman's kowtow made Xiao Guo feel depressed. Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Xiao Guo pulled her back with all his strength. His voice was a little hoarse because of his anxiety. "Calm down for a moment. I need to think about this carefully."

The woman at this moment was no longer the same as before. She was already panicking, tears blurred her eyes, her forehead was red and swollen, and blood flowed down her forehead to her nose. Even though she was fuzzy at this moment, she kept repeating, "Please, please, please..."

Xiaoguo comforted her while calming herself down.

The other person kept repeating "please" softly, and Xiaoguo felt so excited that he almost suffocated.

Maybe she could empathize with him. She is a mother, and she would feel uncomfortable just thinking about her daughter being hungry and freezing. Not to mention that she had to watch her daughter go to jail and exile with her. It is scary to think about a little girl's childhood memories being all suffering.

Watching Xiaoguo's back as he left, the woman said, "I don't have many years left to live. I might die in my sleep. But Yuling is still young. I will die with regret if I leave her alone."

Xiaoguo paused, stood there for a few seconds, and then walked away.

The woman stood alone in the pavilion, quietly looking at her back, covering her heart with tears in her eyes, coughing uncontrollably twice, and then skillfully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

I really beg you...

The woman covered her forehead with a thick drape and then dragged her tired body back to her residence, where she happened to meet Yu Ling who had come back to change her clothes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Yu Ling saw the tired look on the woman's face, she immediately came forward, looked at her worriedly, and wanted to reach out to help her.

"It's OK."

As soon as the woman saw her, she immediately returned to her usual indifferent demeanor, straightened her chest, and waved away the hands that were reaching out to her. "Why are you here?"

"Mom, I'm not lazy!" Yu Ling was so scared that she quickly shook her head and explained, "My clothes got wet when I was breaking ice, so I came back to change clothes."

Having said this, he was afraid that she might not believe him, so he went back to the house to get the wet clothes.

The woman pretended to be impatient and stopped her, "Hurry up and work, don't be lazy!"

"Yes..." Yu Ling said aggrievedly, then rubbed her eyes and left.

After she left, the woman started coughing violently, and finally a large pool of blood spurted onto the ground.

Yu Ling behind him turned around as if she had sensed something, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Yu Ling put away her raised foot and nodded in response.

Because she had been obedient to her mother for a long time, Yu Ling would subconsciously obey her mother no matter what she said. She would walk in the opposite direction as her body reacted first.

However, Yu Ling still turned her head worriedly to look at the thin figure standing against the wind. She didn't know when she became so weak, and she could always hear her coughing in the middle of the night.

It seems that the mother in my memory has always been so weak.

the other side.

After Xiaoguo returned to his residence, the sound of the woman's kowtow and the words "please" kept echoing in his ears. He could not hear or see anything else. He felt extremely strange.

Even Li Shouji, who had poor eyesight, noticed that something was wrong with her.

Someone at the dinner table looked at Jiang Shanhe intently and asked what was going on.

Who knew that Jiang Shanhe also shook his head.

Jiang Shanhe felt sorry for Xiaoguo for only eating rice and not vegetables, so he added more vegetables to her meal and picked out fish bones for her. However, Xiaoguo just stupidly ate the rice and ate whatever was given to her. She looked very strange.

Just after I put a piece of fish on her plate, he suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, said he was full, and went back to the house.

No matter how Jiang Shanhe called out, it didn't stop her, and even the kisses from Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi didn't bring her back to her senses.

Jiang Shanhe also put down his chopsticks. How come he suddenly became like this after he left for a while? No, it was more serious than before.

It was obedient then, but now it is completely closed.

At night, Xiaoguo was lying on the bed and didn't even notice when Jiang Danhe lay down over her.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Xiaoguo suddenly sat up and looked at him.

"Do you know the prefect Zhao of Yangzhou?"
