Chapter 174: Lies

In Tom's mother's lonely and humble cabin, Lucia's eyes widened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info was shocked by the claim that the garment with the gold coin attached to it came from the Reino Palace.

"There should be a special laundry worker in the palace, how could you be asked to do this?" Lucia was skeptical of Tom's mother's words.

"You're right, there are laundry workers in the palace, and they are paid a hundred times more than us, but they are extremely lazy. A lot of the jobs are done by poor people like us, and then we are paid above the market price, which is also a good deal for us. Tom's mother said.

"So it's possible to ......," Lucia said, turning her head to look at Xuanyu again, and saw him leaning to the side, looking at them with a smile on his face, as if what was before him had nothing to do with him.

"So......" Lucia continued, "do you know which person in the palace belongs to the garment to which the gold coin is attached?"

Tom's mother pursed her lips, then nodded heavily, "I know, the person who hired me that day told me a thousand times, saying that this dress belongs to a big man, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Who's that guy?" Lucia felt her heart beat out.

Mother Tom swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It's Prince Clad!"

Hearing this, Lucia gasped. Her gaze shifted from the beads of sweat on Mother Tom's forehead to the twitching corners of her mouth, and then to her eyes, which were evasive.

"You said someone from the palace had come to hire you...... So......" Lucia asked in a low voice, "who is that man, what is his name, what does he look like, and how are you connected?"

This series of questions made Tom's mother more and more flustered, and her voice began to tremble: "This...... I don't know ......."

"You're lying!!" Lucia's sentence was loud, which frightened Mother Tom to take a step back, and surprised Xuanyu, who was leaning on the side, a little.

"No, I'm not lying. Tom's mother hurriedly explained, "How can such a thing be done blatantly, if they are found out from above, they will also lose their jobs." So every time, a different person comes here to gather us, and then takes us to the designated place, and if you ask about the name and appearance, I really can't answer!"

"Well," continued Lucia, "I'll take your word for granted, but do you remember what the dress you washed looked like, what style, color, fabric, and how many buttons it worked?"

Faced with Lucia's serial problems, Tom's mother finally collapsed and began to cry incessantly. Lucia was very strange, she didn't understand why the other party couldn't simply answer the question, but used lies to cover up the truth, and what kind of truth could make her struggle to hide?

Xuanyu finally gave up his role as a bystander, he walked to Tom's mother who was crying, bent down and whispered something in her ear, and suddenly, Tom's mother's crying stopped. Her tearful eyes were fixed on Xuanyu, full of begging. She grabbed Xuanyu's hand and kept repeating "Save him, save him, save him!"

At this moment, Lucia suddenly realized. She grabbed Tom's mother's hand and said, "They're using Tom to blackmail you?"

Tom's mother cried and said, "When I came back last night, in the alley in front of the house, the man said that you will come to me for questioning, and let me do what he taught, otherwise Tom's life will be ...... Just ......" At this, she couldn't stop crying.

"What should I do?" Lucia looked at Xuanyu, she didn't catch a trace of anxiety on the other party's face, but she faintly sensed the inexplicable playfulness in the corner of his mouth.

"Last night?" Xuanyu said as he slipped out of his mouth, his voice so soft that only he could hear it. Obviously, although it is a question, he does not want to get an answer, or maybe some truth has gradually formed in his mind, but he does not know how sure he is.

"Xuanyu, let's save Tom!" Because there was no response to the previous question, this time Lucia made the decision directly for her master.

But Xuanyu didn't buy it: "I don't have this leisure." ”

"You're too cold-blooded, aren't you!" Lucia scolded angrily, although she had some understanding of Xuanyu's style of behavior in the matter of the succubus mermaid, so she had already expected Xuanyu's reaction, but even so, Lucia decided to do what she had set her mind, "All in all, Tom must be saved!"

Hearing this, Tom's mother was even more grateful to Lucia. This action caused Xuanyu to laugh untimely: "It's really stupid, she just said to help you save people, if you can't save it again, it's too early for you to thank you." ”

"I don't want to help and talk here again!" Lucia said disdainfully, "Although I am now in the same broken boat as you, it does not mean that I accept your way of doing things!"

"Oh, Gu Dao hot intestines?" Xuanyu's smile was mixed with a hint of evil, "If you want to help others these days, it depends on whether you have the ability to reads;." If nothing else, let me ask you first, where are you going to save Tom?"

Lucia was stunned by this question, and she turned to look at Tom's mother, who just shook her head with tears in her eyes. Lucia immediately used her spiritual power, on the island of the sun, she had learned the spell of searching, but after fusing with the bloodthirsty beast, the traces of those spells that were once familiar with her chest became more and more unclear in her mind, except for the unforgettable memory, everything else was like a mirror.

"Still thinking about those useless things?" Lucia's face showed confusion and pain, and Xuanyu looked so humble in her eyes, "If you have ears, just listen quietly." ”

"Ears?" Lucia suddenly realized when she heard this, and at this moment, she remembered her identity as a blood demon again, her ears were no longer human ears, and her hearing was beyond the reach of mortals in the world. She began to apply her spiritual power to her ears, and then she heard the boy's cry, which was small but close at hand.

"How so?" Lucia couldn't understand, but Xuanyu's next move made her doubts go away.

"Although I'm not interested in saving your child, it's a good deal to exchange his safety for your truth, can you do it?" Xuanyu's words at this time were the last straw for Tom's mother, and she nodded quickly.

The corners of Xuanyu's mouth rose: "Then let you meet your child!" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and a light and shadow passed by. Tom appeared in front of them, crying out in the same voice as Lucia had heard before.

While Lucia was still startled, Tom's mother had already rushed over, but was blocked by an invisible wall in front of Tom. On the other side of the wall, Tom banged hard, crying and calling for his mother.

"What's going on?" said Lucia.

"Tom has been in this room all along, last night, when we came in, when you asked his mother...... It's just that the so-called passage has been blocked. Unlike Tom's mother and Lucia, Xuanyu was not in a hurry at all, and finished this sentence slowly and leisurely, and then looked at Lucia with a smile, without any intention of saving Tom.

"Didn't you say help me save him, please, please!" Seeing that she couldn't smash the wall, Tom's mother turned back and pleaded with Xuanyu again.

"It's up to you whether this spell can be solved or not," Xuanyu laughed, although this smile was not malicious, but it made people feel cold, especially in Lucia's opinion, at such a time, he still had the heart to threaten the poor mother, which was really heartbreaking.
