In the dimly lit dungeon, Meng's mother and daughter were like two corpses, lying on the ground without moving.

The door to the bald dungeon opened, and a beam of light shone through the crack in the door.

And the person who was lying on the ground slowly opened his heavy eyelids and looked at the person who appeared in front of him with a weak face.

"Is that you? I didn't expect you to come to Beitang! Aren't you worried that you will be arrested as a spy? ”

"I haven't seen you for so many years, but I didn't expect to be so disappointing." The man's voice was low and hoarse.

Although he was not in a hurry to speak, he made people hear a bit of sarcasm, and his lofty posture was like looking at ants.

Cheng Lian'er had been lying on the ground, listening to the conversation between the two with her ears pricked up, and when she heard the words Beitang, her body shook.

Who is the man in black in front of you?

Could it be a spy from an enemy country?

If it's really your mother, why do you know each other?

She had many question marks in her head at this time, and she held her breath even more, not daring to let the other two know that she had woken up.

"What the hell are you trying to do when you got me? Don't forget, the accounts of the two of us have already been written off, and you and I don't owe each other! ”

Meng Shi seemed to have a calm face when he spoke, but the slightly trembling hands had already betrayed the uneasiness in his heart.

The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth rose slightly, "Meng, write it off." So how should the current life-saving grace be calculated? ”

"You...... Tell me, what do you want to let our mother and daughter go. Now that there is no choice, Meng Shi understands that it is the current affairs for Junjie, and simply asks the other party's purpose.

"Well, I like to make deals with people who understand. Your daughter is good-looking, and she will be successful if she is carefully trained......"

"What exactly do you want to do? I can give everything, but you are absolutely not allowed to touch my daughter. ”

As soon as Meng Shi heard that his baby daughter could no longer maintain the calm on the surface, he showed a hideous face.

"Humph! I don't know how to lift. Give you three days to think about it, and if you promise me, you mother and daughter will naturally be able to live the rest of your lives without worry, otherwise you will slowly rot in this cell. ”

The man in black had apparently lost his patience and hurried away.

Looking at that indifferent and ruthless back, Meng Shi once again felt despair.

Her hands were clenched into fists, and her sharp nails left deep marks on the palms of her hands.

At this moment, she seemed to be back to the dark night that made him desperate many years ago.

Just when he was about to collapse, Cheng Lian'er slowly walked in front of him and hugged him tightly, "Mother, no matter what happens, I will be by your side." ”

"Lian'er, it's your mother who has caused you ......"

Now, for the sake of the future of the mother and daughter, Meng has told the past, including his own life experience.

Meng Shi is also a poor man.

She is a native of Dongxing, born in a famous family, her father is the son of Houmen, and her mother is the county lord of the imperial gift, she was born with a golden key, but unfortunately happiness was when he was 10 years old, the county lord died of illness, and it came to an abrupt end.

Since the loss of her biological mother, she sacrificed her father like a rootless duckweed and remarried his wife.

In order to get a rich dowry from the county lord, the stepmother sold one of his weak girls to human traffickers.

Meng Shi was the man in black who he met at that time.

She didn't know the identity of the other party, she only knew that the man in black was his only lifeline, and at the same time made a deal with the man in black, as long as he could successfully bring down the Chang family, the man in black would help him start a new life.

"Lian'er, all men in the world are lucky, remember, no matter who you rely on, it is better to rely on yourself. After all, it was your mother who affected you, and I originally thought that I could completely get rid of the past when I came to Beitang, but I didn't expect ......"

People are not as good as heaven.

She once used witchcraft to harm people, but she didn't expect to fail here one day.

"Mother, what should we do next? Will the man in black kill us? Otherwise, I still agree to the other party's conditions, as long as I can live, I can do anything! ”

Hearing her daughter's desperate words, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

And the man in black, who had just left and had been standing at the door, heard the conversation inside and raised his eyebrows, "Very good!" ”

……

In the court, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes sweeping sharply towards each minister.

In the end, his eyes fell on Ning Qiuye.

Well, that's good!

The Ning family not only formed a party in the court, embezzled and took bribes, but now they even dare to raise the four armies.

So what's next? Do you want to rebel?

And the Heavenly Sword Guard!

What a good son.

Over the years, he has created such a big force under his nose.

Thinking of the results of last night's investigation, the dignified monarch of a country could no longer sit still, as if the dragon chair he made would be snatched away at any time.

Looking down with mixed feelings, when his eyes swept over his two sons, he felt extremely disappointed.

Forget it, although Cheng Sheng is only a small role, he must not have an accident at this time.

He was full of thoughts in an instant, and soon spoke majestically, "Dongxing, Miaojiang, my capital is really lively!" Come on, Cheng Sheng has been detained in Dali Temple for many days, since there is no evidence yet, let's release the person quickly. A bunch of rubbish! ”

"......" The three princes wanted to open their mouths to stop it, but when they heard the last four words, they lowered their heads one after another.

The second prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.

Cheng An stood at the back of the main hall, and when he heard the emperor's words, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Sheng has been locked up long enough, if he can't be released again, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to bear it.

"It's wonderful! Come on, hurry up and carry the carriage, I'll go and pick up my father now. Cheng Yuru got the news here, so he hurried to Dali Temple.

Looking at her ragged father, she stepped forward and handed over a cloak, "Father, you have suffered. ”

As soon as the father and daughter returned home, the old lady got the news and came out to greet her son with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, my son doesn't laugh, it's worrying you." Although Cheng Sheng's body was weak, he still knelt in front of the old lady.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and the other people present also had red eyes.

Of course, there is also a bundle of jealous gazes.

Liu Yun looked at everything that was happening in front of him, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and a trace of disdain smiled.

Xiang Wan stood aside and saw all this, his eyes full of disapproval.

She was worried that her sister-in-law's inappropriate expression would be seen by someone who cared about it, so she secretly went over and pulled his sleeve, "Sister-in-law, today is a day worth celebrating, everyone should be happy." ”
