Hearing Xiaotang's cry, a middle-aged 'woman' in the house came over. This 'woman' is plain-looking, dressed simply, but her demeanor is dignified, her face is kind, and she is full of the brilliance of motherhood.

Seeing Xiaotang crying so sadly, she called out in distress: "Huang'er!"

"Mother----!" Xiaotang saw her, and the grievances in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she threw herself into the arms of the 'woman' and cried.

"Okay, good girl, don't be sad. You can say anything to your mother...... "The woman, while comforting her, took her into the bedroom and sat side by side with her on the bed.

At the Seven Nights Headquarters, this room is the innermost room and where the Night Lord's wife lives. Xiaotang is the 'daughter' of the night master, that is, the eldest lady of the seven nights, and should have her own room. But she never came back, and she hated living alone, so she lived in the same room as her mother.

This 'woman' is called "Liu Junxiang", and she is an ordinary 'girl'. Even the most ordinary gatekeeper in the Seven Nights has the strength to be one hundred strong, but as the wife of the supreme leader of the Seven Nights, she is completely incapable of martial arts, and she can't even hold a sword.

Liu Junxiang only exists as the wife of the night lord in the Seven Nights, she does not manage any affairs, and the average Seven Nights members only know that there is such a person, and they have never even seen her true face. On the one hand, it is to protect her, but on the other hand, it is a complete house arrest.

She is a 'woman' who has no freedom. The only embellishment in her life is her 'daughter'---- Night Phoenix.

For Xiaotang, she hates her father, but she loves her mother deeply. For as long as she can remember, her father has been very strict with her, training her to be a tool for carrying out tasks, she has never felt the slightest bit of fatherly love, and her mother is the opposite, Liu Junxiang poured all her feelings into her, loved her, cared for her, but she had no way to disobey her husband's will, so she had to watch Xiaotang being sent by her father to the Blue Dragon Empire, thousands of miles away.

Over the years, Xiaotang has returned only a handful of times, but this does not diminish Liu Junxiang's love for her. Xiaotang also knew that her mother's heart was towards her, so she didn't hide it from her and told her everything about herself.

Liu Junxiang asked lovingly: "Huang'er, what happened? Why are you so sad? Is it related to your sweetheart?"

Xiaotang looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Mother, how do you know?"

Liu Junxiang stroked her head and said, "Every time you come back, you always talk about your son-in-law, how can your mother not see that you like him? In this world, you can only cry so sadly for him. ”

Xiaotang hugged Liu Junxiang, got into her arms, and said abruptly: "Mother, you said, if you wear a mask for a long time, can you never take it off again?" At the beginning, I did face him with the mentality of carrying out tasks, but I don't know when, I ...... I couldn't help but fall in love with him......"

Liu Junxiang sighed silently, with a sad smile on her face, and said, "Huang'er, in fact, I am really grateful to that person." If possible, I would like to thank him in person. He has given you the warmth and hope of love in my place.

I used to worry that your dad would train you to be an emotionless, cold-blooded killer, especially after you were sent to a distant land. In such a strange place, if no one loves you and cares for you, will the last little warmth you have left be wiped out? You lived an unfortunate life when you were young, and if there is no one around you to guide you, I am afraid that your 'sexual' personality will be even more distorted.

But luckily, you met him. He is willing to care about you, be considerate of you, and really treat you as a relative, which can make my Phoenix still a gentle and kind 'girl' child. You are always afraid of such a difficult task, and his love for you has become the greatest sustenance in your heart, and it is not unusual for you to fall in love with him. ”

Xiaotang's eyes were far away, and she seemed to recall the time when she and Tianlan were young. She was brought to Tianling Sha Mansion as Tianlan's 'attendant' and 'girl', it should be said that she was taking care of him, but who took care of whom, who saved whom? Without her, Tianlan could still live very well, and without Tianlan, what would she be like now? She didn't dare to imagine.

She knew that her life was saved by Tianlan. In the days when there was no him, she was worse than dead, no, she even said that she didn't feel alive at all, even if Liu Junxiang loved her, but this love was too little after all, even before the age of seven, she and Liu Junxiang didn't spend much time together.

She muttered, "Was I saved by Childe?" but...... I'm the Night Phoenix, and I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. If you don't love, you won't be embarrassed......"

Liu Junxiang said: "Huang'er, there is nothing wrong with love. How can it be wrong to love someone? What are you so embarrassed about? Do you want to go back to him?"

Xiaotang shook his head and said, "Mother, it's not that simple. There's no way I'm going to get back to him...... Since the disappearance of Yesan, my father ordered the murderer of Yesan and them to be killed, but I didn't expect that it was actually Childe...... When Dad found out about this, he would definitely kill Childe. In order to let my father keep him 'alive', I had to report that he had immortal blood. He is now imprisoned in the lower levels of the dungeon...... And I ...... him with my own hands."

Although Liu Junxiang didn't care about affairs, she still knew more or less from the mouths of others, and nodded: "I see." Alas, if he really resents you, it is not his fault, and it is normal for him to be betrayed by his cronies and not accept it for a while, until he knows your suffering......

Xiaotang interrupted: "No, mother, I just went to see him." He didn't resent me, on the contrary, he said......"

At this, she couldn't help but blush. Now she regretted it a little, Tianlan rarely said that to her, but she didn't turn her head to look at him. What was his expression when he said he loved her? His voice was very hoarse, but his tone was very gentle, it must have been like the gentle look he had when he stared at her.

Liu Junxiang saw that she was halfway through her, and said suspiciously: "What did he say?"

Xiaotang lowered his head shyly and whispered, "He said he loves me...... Childe is a very cautious person about feelings, and if he says that he is in love with someone, it must have been after a long period of careful consideration before he determined his heart. I know that once he says this, it means that he really likes me...... I said so many hurtful things to him, but he still ......"

Liu Junxiang couldn't help but have a better impression of Tianlan, and said, "You didn't explain your hardships to him, and he confessed to you?

Xiaotang nodded and said, "Hmm...... He said that no matter what I am, I am his Xiaotang, and this will never change......"

Liu Junxiang smiled and said, "It seems that my 'daughter' has a good eye for people. Isn't it a good thing that you are happy with each other?"

Xiaotang stomped his feet shyly and said, "Where is it? Mother---- I am! I am the culprit who imprisoned him! I revealed his secret and caused him to suffer from prison." Childe has always been unconcerned about his own life and death, and I am really worried that he will be too rigid and kill himself because he does not want to be taken advantage of. I just tried to test him with words, and he did so, ......"

Liu Junxiang said: "Your father really can't let him go?"

"It's impossible, when Dad realizes the magic of immortal blood, I'm afraid he won't let him go, maybe he will be imprisoned for a long time. ”

Liu Junxiang sighed and said, "Since you care about him so much, why do you want to arrest him according to your father's orders? He has the strength to kill Ye San, isn't it good for the two of you to escape together?"

"'Private' escape?" Xiaotang was stunned, she had never thought of this possible 'sex'. Besides, she didn't know what Tianlan's attitude would be towards her after confessing her true identity to Tianlan. Moreover, even if the two of them could escape, the huge Tianlingsha family would not be able to escape! Once they were in a hurry for seven nights and made a move against the Tianlingsha family, they would still have to show up.

Besides, the Lord summoned her back so suddenly, she didn't even have time to say hello to Tianlan, and what happened later was completely unexpected by her. She knew the strength of Yesan, how did she think that Tianlan actually had the strength and opportunity to kill Yesan?

Most importantly, she never thought about betraying Seven Nights. Why? Because the Lord of the Night was her father, and her most beloved mother was in the Seven Nights, what would her father do to her if she gave up these things and fled?

She doesn't love her father, and she doesn't care whether the night master is dead or alive, but Liu Junxiang has always been very good to her, how can she give up her mother and cause her life and death to be disregarded?

Naturally, there is no such thing as family affection in Qiye's education, but Tianlan is a person who values affection, and under his influence, family affection has a very high status in Xiaotang's mind, even with the biological father who has no feelings.

Liu Junxiang roughly guessed her concerns and said, "Huang'er, you tell your mother honestly." Is it because your mother is here that you are restrained and let you act with more care? Is it because I don't dare to disobey your father? Is it because he is blackmailing you with my life? Am I becoming your burden?"

She asked faster and faster, almost in one breath, which showed that this matter had been blocked in her heart for a long time.

Xiaotang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! There is no such thing! Mother, don't think 'messy'!"

How could Liu Junxiang not see her thoughts? Although she was a weak 'girl' who didn't know martial arts, she was a passer-over after all, and if her own 'girl's mind couldn't see through, she would be a mother in vain.
