Liu Meir stepped forward and pulled Xiao Zhi up from the ground. She touched Xiao Zhi's head distressedly and asked with tears in her eyes:
"Are you scared?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head vigorously. He looked up at Liu Mei and asked in confusion:
"Mom, do you know him?"
Liu Mei'er did not answer, but looked at him with hatred, gritting her teeth and roaring:
"I don't know him. How could I know someone so cruel and ruthless that he wouldn't even let a child go?"
"Mei'er..."
Leng Zian suddenly changed his arrogant attitude and said softly to Liu Mei in front of him in a low voice:
"Are you... okay? I haven't seen you in years, and you haven't changed at all."
Judging from what he said, they should be old acquaintances from many years ago, so Luo Lan signaled Agang to evacuate all the servants, and Leng Zian no longer complained about the orientation of the house, but moved directly into the west wing.
He wanted to call out to Liu Mei who was pulling Xiao Zhi away, but she didn't even turn her head and didn't even look at him.
Although Luo Lan felt that there must be something wrong with the relationship between Liu Mei and Leng Zian, she did not ask too many questions. After all, this was a private matter between them. If she didn't say it, she shouldn't ask.
After returning to the room, Liu Meir wanted to take Xiao Zhi away. She was busy packing her things, while Xiao Zhi leaned against the wall with a pout, muttering angrily,
"Mom, why should we leave? I can't bear to leave my master and my sister. Besides, tomorrow is Chinese New Year. Where can we go?"
Liu Mei looked a little nervous. She hurriedly packed her things and said anxiously:
"Did you see that man just now? He looks ferocious. Let's go now. We can come back after he leaves the capital. If we don't leave, he might take you away at any time, and then you won't be able to come back even if you want to."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi was still puzzled. "Why did he take me away? It was only twenty lashes. You should have just let him hit you. I can handle it."
"Those twenty blows will cost you your life. Don't ask any more questions. Wait here while I go talk to the princess."
"I want to go too."
Xiao Zhi stood up, looked at her with a pout, and said aggrievedly:
"I can't bear to leave my master and sister."
Liu Mei touched his little face, looked at him distressedly, pursed her lips and nodded:
"Okay, let's go and talk for a few minutes and then leave. We can't stay too long, otherwise we won't be able to leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, just as she was about to pull Xiaozhi out, a man like a wall walked in at the door.
Liu Mei's face suddenly turned ashen. She looked up at the man, and when she met his eyes, her eyes were suddenly filled with indifference.
"Mei'er..."
The man's voice sounded at the right time, and Liu Mei hurriedly said to Xiao Zhi beside her:
"Xiaozhi, go out first, mom will be here soon."
"I don't."
Xiao Zhi raised his head and stared at Leng Zian stubbornly, looking at him as if he were an evil god. He raised his voice and shouted at him fearlessly:
"If you have anything to say, just come to me. I admit that I offended you with my words. If you feel unsatisfied, you can ask someone to beat me up. This matter has nothing to do with my mother or Prince Yu's Mansion."
Listening to Xiao Zhi's passionate words, Leng Zian was not annoyed. Instead, his eyes were red and he wanted to touch his face. Seeing this, Liu Mei pulled Xiao Zhi away, blocked him, and said to Leng Zian coldly:
"Don't touch him."
Leng Zian stood up straight, looked at Liu Meir, and murmured softly:
"Mei'er, I'm sorry. I've been looking for you for eight years since you left. I never thought I'd meet you here. I suddenly feel that this trip to the capital was worth it. It was so worth it."
At this point, he suddenly looked at Xiao Zhi behind her and asked in an anxious and eager voice:
"Tell me quickly, is this child mine?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi looked at Liu Mei in confusion. Liu Mei hurriedly said to him coldly again:
"Xiaozhi, go out first, mom will be here soon."
Although Xiaozhi was reluctant, he knew that he couldn't understand what was going on between adults. Since his mother wanted him to go out, she definitely didn't want him to listen.
So, he said "oh" and turned to leave.
Leng Zian's eyes were fixed on his back until he completely disappeared at the door. He then retracted his gaze and the moment Liu Meir turned around, he went up to her and hugged her.
"Mei'er, I was wrong. Can you please stop doing this?"
"Let me go."
Liu Mei turned her back to him coldly, trying to break free from his embrace, but he was too strong.
"Mei'er, I was wrong. It was my fault back then. Please forgive me. I've thought about you day and night for so many years. Are you so cruel?"
"Oh!"
Liu Mei only uttered this one word, and then she suddenly exerted force, breaking free from his arms when he was caught off guard, and then immediately distanced herself from him.
She looked at him with cold eyes, without a trace of emotion.
Leng Zian walked towards her step by step. She suddenly took off a hairpin from her head, pointed it at her neck, and shouted coldly:
"Don't come over here, or I'll die in front of you."
Seeing her emotional expression, Leng Zian hurriedly stopped and raised his hand to stop her nervously.
"Don't... Mei'er, I won't move. Don't mess around. Put it down quickly, put it down quickly."
"Get out."
She yelled at him in an extremely harsh voice, and the arrogant Leng Zian just now became like a frightened little rabbit.
"Mei'er...what do you want? Tell me, is Xiaozhi my son? Is he my son?"
"He has nothing to do with you."
Liu Mei interrupted him again in a cold voice, yelling at him word by word:
"He is my son, don't even think about taking him away."
Hearing her say this, Leng Zian suddenly became a little excited. He raised his voice and asked,
"He's my son, right? You ran away secretly just to give birth to him, right?"
Liu Mei looked at him with the corner of her mouth pulled up, and the moment she sneered, she said in a cold voice:
"If I hadn't escaped back then, he wouldn't have been born safely. Therefore, he is my own son. He has nothing to do with you, and you are not worthy of being his father."
"Mei'er, I was wrong. I listened to slanderous words back then, and I regretted it. But when I realized my mistake, I couldn't find you. Will you forgive me? Oh, and come back with me. I'll drive those women away. Can you tell them to get out?"
His words sounded sincere, but Liu Mei found them extremely ironic.
Back then, Leng Zian had no children, and she became pregnant just one year after entering the Prince of Yunnan's Palace. However, the concubines in the palace gossiped behind her back, insisting that the child must not be the Prince of Zhennan's, otherwise why did she become pregnant while no one else could?
