"Madam Li..."
Li Zai's wife, Pingting, rose and returned the greeting, then smiled lightly at the woman opposite her named Fuliu, "What wind blew you here, sister?"
"Pingting." Fu Liu took Pingting's hand and whispered, "I have something important to tell you."
Pingting's expression remained unchanged; she simply waved for the servants around her to leave.
After everyone had left, she asked nervously, "What exactly happened?"
"Li Zai deserted and is now in Jizhou."
Pingting covered her mouth and cried out, "He's going to abandon us, mother and child!"
Fu Liu quickly covered her mouth and repeatedly instructed, "Keep your voice down. If others hear us, neither of us will be in trouble."
After a while, Pingting calmed down. With tears streaming down her face, she sobbed softly, "Now... what am I going to do?"
Li Zai escaped, but as his wife, she could not escape death.
Fu Liu held Ping Ting's hand and whispered, "Back then, you and I, sisters, were so carefree in the palace. But you became obsessed with Li Zai and insisted on leaving the palace."
Pingting looked up in surprise at Fuliu, "What you mean, sister..."
Fu Liu gritted her teeth, "Enter the palace." Seeing the blank look on Pingting's face, she asked again, "Do you still remember what the Imperial Advisor said back then?"
"Tell me about the treasure hidden by the eldest daughter of the Su family?"
“Yes.” Fu Liu moved slightly closer to her and continued in an even softer voice, “Now that Lady Su has entered the palace as Empress, why don’t we sisters go and serve her?”
"It's good, but..."
Fu Liu tapped her head with exasperation, "You don't actually want to stay and wait for Li Zai, do you?"
“No.” Pingting’s face was pale. “But, Xi’er…”
"Heh." Fu Liu sneered, "Those are your sister's flesh and blood, not yours. Don't forget that."
Thinking of this, Pingting felt a pang of unease. "When will we enter the palace?"
"Now." Seeing Pingting's hesitation, Fuliu continued, "If you don't enter the palace now, do you really want to be buried with them?"
"I'll go pack now." That was the decision she made.
Fu Liu patted her hand gently with satisfaction and said, "That's my good sister."
Li Xi covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, and secretly walked towards the front yard.
He's going to find his father!
His father won't abandon him!
He didn't believe his father would abandon him!
Jizhou·Shangjia Village.
Li Zai looked at Su Qian somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, may I return to Songdu?"
"Why?" Su Qian looked at him in confusion. Was her fruit not delicious enough?
Is this an attempt to steal her meat?
Thinking of this, Su Qian's gaze changed instantly.
Li Zai scratched his head sheepishly and said with a silly grin, "I want to bring my wife and son over here."
"Oh." Su Qian nodded, relieved that they weren't trying to steal her meat. (′???｀)
"I'll go with you."
If we let him go by himself, when will he ever get back?
"No, no need..."
He's been here so long and hasn't done anything for the girl. How can he possibly expect her to be busy with his household affairs?
“A double negative indicates an affirmation.” Su Qian nodded. “Since you say so, let’s go.”
She grabbed Li Zai by the collar and vanished instantly, a quarter of an hour later...
Is this the place?
Li Zai stared blankly at the city gate in front of him, and the two large characters "Song Capital" on the gate. "This...this..." We've arrived?

Is he dreaming?
"girl?"
Where do you live?
