Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "Mother, I came here with you happily, how can you blame me? You can't predict the future. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Knowing her daughter was intelligent, Su's mother asked, "What is the reason for this?"
“Mother, think about it. The Yang State Duke’s Mansion is going all out now. There will definitely be fighting and killing outside. It would be dangerous for us if we went outside. But this is the Yang State Duke’s Mansion. Those people won’t make a move here. We can live a few more days.”
If I had lived a few more days, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
"Mother, are you worried about Father?" Lu Qingyan pressed, comforting her mother, "Mother, you know what kind of person Father is. He's so capable, he'll definitely be alright. He'll come to pick us up in a few days."
"Yao'er, I still feel uneasy. Although your father... I'm still worried." As Su's mother spoke, her expression grew calmer, but the smile on her lips became increasingly bitter.
Lu Qingyan didn't know what to say for a moment; she was also very worried about Lin Yu'an.
Unfortunately, there's nothing she can do now but wait patiently. Lu Qingyan still believes in Lin Yu'an. She believes he can turn the tide, come and take her back, and she will be his bride.
The sounds of weeping grew louder and louder around them; some people became increasingly distraught, while others grew increasingly calm.
They complained, but dared not speak loudly, for fear that others would hear them and repeat their words to the masters of the Yang State Duke's mansion, and they would lose their lives here.
Madam Zhang didn't hold a grudge against Su's mother for the time when they had spoken, and Su's mother had embarrassed her. She stayed close to her, trembling.
Lu Qingyan glanced at the corner. The two sisters from the Yue family, Yue Rui seemed to have gone a little crazy from fright, while Yue Qin, apart from her pale lips, still had bright eyes.
As expected of someone who has weathered many storms, Madam Lin sat there with great energy.
Never before had time felt so unbearable. Lu Qingyan felt as if decades had passed before she finally heard the sound of arrows piercing the air outside.
"Mother, listen! Our rescuers are here!" Lu Qingyan's shout instantly excited everyone, and they all wanted to run out as soon as possible.
But Lu Qingyan knew that if she ran out now, she would be a sitting duck for those arrows and would definitely die, so she slowly huddled in place, wanting only to stay where she was.
Several people couldn't resist and ran out. Then, those inside only heard a scream, and then there was silence.
Now everyone behaved themselves and dared not rush out recklessly.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the door finally opened from the outside.
The winter sun carried a gentle warmth that was irresistible. But the moment Lin Yu'an pushed open the door, it seemed as if a blinding radiance emanated from behind him, enough to scorch anyone who saw him.
Those eyes held the essence of countless stars; looking into them felt like holding the world in your hands.
He walked over step by step, and then knelt down in front of Madam Lin: "Your unfilial son has frightened you, Mother."
With tears streaming down her face, Madam Lin said, "Good child, it's good that you're alright and not hurt."
This scene moved many people around.
When no one was paying attention, Lin Yu'an secretly gave Lu Qingyan a reassuring look.
Lu Qingyan knew that he cared about her and wanted to protect her, and that was enough.
