Chapter 364: Changing Situations
The city lord is gone, this is a fact known to all the people of the holy city.
The people may not feel anything, as they are still looking forward to Xiao Xun's return.
However, the situation among the upper classes of the holy city is changing, and a struggle for the throne has begun.
Old Madam Xiao and her men occupied the castle, and Ye Li and the two children were confined to the room and were not allowed to move around freely.
Wang Lun was nowhere to be found, and only the housekeeper Uncle Da used all his connections to ensure that Ye Li and the children could stay in the room as comfortably as possible. They could eat the same food as usual, but their movements were restricted.
"Mom, what will happen to us?" Having experienced too many difficulties, Xiaomu gradually became precocious and asked Ye Li this question.
Ye Li shook her head. She had not been in the Holy City for long and did not understand the system of the Holy City. She had not even had time to recognize some important people.
All she can do is to protect her children desperately when someone hurts them.
"Xiao Mu, can we continue studying?" Ye Li spread out the first-grade textbooks and taught Xiao Mu and Xixi. Their movements were restricted and they couldn't go out to school at all.
"Yeah." Xixi responded obediently, sat closer, and listened carefully to Ye Li's explanation of the questions.
Xiaomu seemed a little absent-minded. He had already known the questions. He looked down through the window and saw people coming in and out of the castle lawn. Xiaomu recognized some of these people. Many of them were ministers who had met with his father before.
Suddenly, the door of the room was opened and someone walked into the room.
Ye Li looked up and unexpectedly it was Lei Keman. She smiled coldly. It was true that she was in a weak position now, and she, who was in a powerful position, would definitely come to laugh at her.
"It seems like you're living a pretty good life." Reichman toured the house and ate a grape from the fruit bowl on the dining table. She continued, "But how long can it last? Maybe it will end tomorrow, or maybe you'll be trapped in this house forever."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to see how humble and pitiful you are without Xiao Xun's protection." Lei Keman smiled and said, "If you beg me, I can consider sending you and your two children out of the Holy City. It's better to go outside than become a victim of the struggle for power here."
"No need." Ye Li sat up straight and said, "I will wait here until he comes back."
"Silly!" Reichman sighed and shook his head. "Anyone knows that in a situation like this, the chance of survival is only one in ten thousand."
Lei Keman walked in. She looked down at Ye Li and whispered, "The faction that supports Xiao Xun hates you now. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have lost the city lord and thus their own interests. I'm afraid you will be used as a target."
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." Ye Li glanced at her and said, "I won't let these things happen."
"Haha... I've already told you this. Believe it or not, it's up to you." Rekman said, "I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."
After saying these words, Recoman left and the door of the room was closed again.
Ye Li pressed the book, looked down at the math problems and said, "Xiao Mu, Xixi, let's continue studying."
At night, the two children went to bed early and stayed in the room all day. They couldn't go out for a walk or see Winnie, which made them feel a little bad.
