Chapter 236 Someone is behind this
Xiaobao grabbed the corner of Yun Qingqing's clothes tightly and hid behind her.
"Sister, can you please take me away? Please."
Wei Cuilan was deeply shocked and pointed at him with red eyes:
"I worked so hard to carry you for ten months and give birth to you, and this is how you treat me? You would rather go with someone you just met. How have I ever let you down?"
"Then you should not have given birth to me!"
Xiaobao, who was usually taciturn, suddenly shouted, and Wei Cuilan was stunned by his words.
"What... did you say?" Her eyes were full of hurt. "I raised you with so much hardship. I didn't want to eat or wear anything. I gave you all the good things. Everything I did was for you! I didn't expect that you would treat me like this in the end! What sin did I commit to give birth to a heartless person like you..."
Wei Cuilan became more and more sad as she spoke, and she cried and wailed.
"You're not doing this for me!" Xiaobao also became anxious and shouted.
"You didn't spare any money on food or clothes, and gave all the money you saved to that man to pay off his gambling debts!"
"You're afraid that he'll beat you up and scold you, so when he beats me or scolds me, you just hide aside and do nothing!"
"You never protect me! I don't need a mother who doesn't protect me!"
"Sister is the first person who stopped him from beating me since I was a child. I want to go with sister!"
Wei Cuilan was stunned and speechless.
Xiao Bao eagerly pulled Yun Qingqing's sleeve and begged:
"Sister, I eat very little, I don't need new clothes, I can live in the woodshed, and I can work! Sister, can you take me away?"
"Xiaobao!"
Wei Cuilan rushed forward and held him, crying:
"Don't leave, Xiaobao. It's all my fault. But I didn't dare to stop him because I was afraid he would beat you even harder! He's been captured. I won't let anyone bully you anymore, okay?"
"Mother really cares about you! For so many years, mother endured humiliation and hardship, all for the sake of giving you a complete family..."
Xiaobao's expression, which was a little hesitant just now, turned cold after hearing the last sentence. He struggled to break free from her hand and hid behind Yun Qingqing.
"Xiaobao..." Wei Cuilan staggered and turned to Yun Qingqing to plead, "Master, please help me persuade him. I only have this one son. I really can't lose him!"
Yun Qingqing sighed:
"You also said that you can't lose him, but why don't you realize that everything you do is actually for yourself?"
"What..." Wei Cuilan said in surprise.
"You need a man to rely on in life and emotions, so even if he beats and scolds you and your son at every turn, you can't leave him."
"It's you who needs this child and expects him to be grateful to you, so you keep saying 'everything I do is for you'."
"But you have never considered what your son really needs and how he wants his mother to treat him."
"You are selfish and cowardly, but you always want to portray yourself as a loving and selfless mother. If you can't change, your fate as mother and son will soon come to an end."
Wei Cuilan felt as if she had been hit by a wake-up call. Her face turned red and white, and she was filled with shame.
Yun Qingqing turned to look at Xiaobao and said seriously:
"She is your biological mother. If she doesn't agree, I can't take you away by force."
"Besides, you and I have no destiny. Even if you leave her one day, it won't be with me."
"Your mother seems to have repented. This is all I can do. As for the future, it all depends on your own choices."
After saying that, Yun Qingqing left without looking back.
Wei Cuilan rushed over and hugged Xiaobao in her arms, constantly thanking her from behind.
Xiaobao pursed his lips tightly and looked in the direction where Yun Qingqing left, with a deep sense of frustration flashing in his eyes.
…
That afternoon.
Xiaobao came to an inn alone. After showing a wooden sign to the waiter, he was taken to the door of a room on the third floor.
He knocked on the door and someone soon opened it and let him in.
On the soft couch in the room, a man in a dark purple brocade robe with a crane pattern was reclining. His black hair was casually tied into a half-bun at the back of his head, and his pair of clear and bright phoenix eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was taking a rest.
The man's expression did not change at all, but when Xiaobao walked quietly in front of him, he opened his thin lips slightly:
"You came to see me so soon, did you fail?"
Xiaobao tightened his fingertips, lowered his head and whispered:
"I am incompetent and have disappointed my master."
"Well... it's pretty useless." The man said lazily, "But never mind. I didn't expect a little kid like you to achieve anything great."
"Tell me, what does the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion look like?"
Xiao Bao's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly:
"She is a very young and beautiful sister, and she is also very powerful..."
"Hmm?" The man raised his eyebrows and finally looked up at him. "Is it really like the rumors say, a young woman?"
Seeing Xiaobao nod heavily, the man stroked his chin and thought, then said to himself:
"She was able to conceal the entire Tianming Pavilion to that extent with a trick. How could she be such a young girl with such strength? Could she be an old monster from somewhere..."
He was just muttering to himself when he suddenly heard a sneer from the corner of the room.
"who!"
The man's face changed, he picked up the teacup on the table and rushed to the corner of the room.
But the teacup suddenly stopped in mid-air, catching all the water that spilled along the way. After hanging in the air for a moment, it flew back to the man along the same path.
The man's eyelids jumped. He picked up the folding fan at hand, opened it, and fanned the cup aside, causing it to fall to the ground and shatter.
The guard who opened the door earlier had already drawn his knife and rushed to the man with a nervous look on his face to stand on guard.
I saw a woman appear in the corner.
"Sister Pavilion Master!" Xiao Bao looked at her in surprise, then lowered his head awkwardly.
Yun Qingqing looked at the man with a smile and said:
"Your Excellency has come all the way from Northern Cang, and even brought such a young child to inquire about the news of my Tianming Pavilion. It really makes things difficult for you."
The man's expression paused slightly, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaobao.
Xiaobao was a little flustered and shook his head repeatedly:
"I didn't bring her here..."
"Don't guess. If I can't even tell that there is someone behind him directing me, how can I be the leader of Tianming Pavilion?" Yun Qingqing said calmly.
The man's gaze stayed on Yun Qingqing for a moment, and he suddenly rubbed his forehead and sighed with a smile:
"I have offended the Pavilion Master, but I have no ill intentions. I hope you will forgive me."
He bowed properly to Yun Qingqing, his tone very sincere.
"Since you are here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea and chat for a while?"
His men immediately brought chairs and prepared tea.
"No need for tea, just say it directly if you have something to say." Yun Qingqing sat down and looked at the other party, "Why would the dignified Bei Cang royal family appear in the Daliang Imperial Capital? What exactly do you want to do by snooping about my Tianming Pavilion?"
The man had recovered from his initial shock. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea calmly. He pushed it in front of Yun Qingqing and smiled calmly:
"Master Qingyun, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I just want to make friends with you."
As he spoke, he smiled and bowed to her:
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Yu Wenye from Bei Cang. I have long heard of the name of Master Qingyun. I hope you can give me more advice."
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly.
"The Third Prince of Bei Cang, His Royal Highness Prince Li?"
Yuwen Ye's eyes curved and he nodded slightly:
"That's me."
There was no expression on Yun Qingqing's face, but she was already a little alert in her heart.
At this critical moment when the envoys from Xilan and Nanyu were in the imperial capital, the King Li, who Beicang mentioned as the most powerful man, also appeared and made a special trip to find her at the head of Tianming Pavilion.
What exactly does this person want to do?
