Lu Qingyan suggested, "Father, why don't we go to the capital?"
"The capital?" Tian Shenhua's hand trembled. "I told you about your background before, hoping you would be careful to stay away from those people. The capital is nice, but we really dare not go there!"
Lu Qingyan advised, "Father, I don't think so. In my opinion, the capital is full of powerful and wealthy families. Even if I offend one family, I still have the opportunity to find someone else to rely on and avoid the trouble of running around. Besides, so many years have passed. I was just an insignificant woman, and now I'm living the life I want. Would they really make things difficult for me?"
"This..." After hesitating for a moment, Tian Shenhua finally made up her mind: "Alright, then let's go to the capital!"
They say fortune favors the bold, and at his age, he still wanted to take a gamble. Over the years, he and his troupe, Chunxi, had been constantly on the move, never finding a moment's peace, and the money they earned was barely enough to feed themselves—a situation he deeply resented. Now that his daughter had brought it up, he was even more eager to try, and he was determined to persuade Liuyu to agree to their plans.
"What? You're going to the capital?" Upon hearing her husband's plan, Liu Yu jumped up from her chair to object. "You know what kind of status our Yi Yi has. Do you think we can go to a place like the capital? If those people at the top find out, we'll all lose our heads."
"You!" Liu Yu pointed a finger at Tian Shenhua's head: "You're already so old, you should just settle down and not have any more dreams."
“His mother…” Tian Shenhua grabbed Liu Yu’s hand and held it tightly: “Do you think I don’t understand what you’re thinking? Ask yourself how you’ve treated her all these years. Every single thing you’ve done and every single word you’ve said has been like treating her like your own daughter. How could I just stand by and watch her go to her death? After all these years, how many people will recognize her when she goes back? Her going back this time might be an opportunity for the He family to clear their name.”
Hearing her husband mention "overturning the case against the He family," Liu Yu's heart wavered. She had served as a servant in the He family, receiving much care from her masters, but unfortunately, due to her lowly status and lack of ability, she could only do her best to preserve this last bloodline after the He family suffered misfortune. How could she not be excited upon hearing of this opportunity?
"Brother Shenhua, is there really still a chance for the He family to overturn the case?" Liu Yu asked cautiously, squeezing Tian Shenhua's face until it contorted: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—damn it, you're too rough."
Liu Yu gently massaged his hands to appease him before he said, "The more important people you meet over there, the easier it will be to get things done."
Tian Shenhua said with a bitter face, "Besides, we can't stay here any longer. That Zhao kid is trying to harm Yiyi. If it weren't for Yiyi's quick thinking, he probably would have succeeded already. It's just getting dark now, so we'd better leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu immediately became anxious: "You stupid thing, why did you only say something so important now? Hurry up and call everyone over to pack their things, are you really waiting for them to come knocking on our door?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go right now." Tian Shenhua agreed with a smile.
Although it wasn't too late, most of the members of Chunxi Troupe were already asleep. They had just performed all day and were naturally tired.
