Late at night, the night is dark.

The moonlight passed through the treetops and reflected on the palace wall, making it look pale and feeble.

Li Miaoyi was wearing plain clothes and walking quietly on the street.

She lowered her head, and the wind ruffled her hair, making it a little messy. In this night, her shadow was extremely clear.

Arriving at the back door of Li's Mansion, she gently opened the courtyard door.

The courtyard was dark, with only the moonlight shining through the walls of the mansion.

Li Miaoyi stood on tiptoes and walked into the house cautiously. She quietly lit the lamp, and then she could see her surroundings clearly.

There is a carved screen in the room, and the tall bed looks empty and deserted. There are two pictures of lotus hanging on the wall, which are lifelike.

Li Miaoyi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

In the courtyard not far away, Zhong Xia saw the lights on in Li Miaoyi's house. He quickly walked to the door of the house and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Zhong Xia walked in slowly with her head lowered and said, "Miss, you are finally back."

Li Miaoyi frowned and said, "But what happened?"

Zhong Xia nodded and said, "Aunt Sun and Grandma Sun have been released."

"How could this be?"

Zhong Xia shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened. It seems that the second young lady went to find someone and released Aunt Sun."

Li Miaoyi chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't know that Li Miaoyin had such abilities."

Suddenly, Li Miaoyi turned to look at Zhong Xia and asked, "Where is Meng Chun at this time? Why didn't I see her?"

Zhongxia blessed his body and said, "Meng Chun was punished to kneel in Madam's courtyard." After a pause, Zhongxia said, "Madam asked the young lady to go to her courtyard as soon as she comes back, no matter what."

Li Miaoyi frowned tightly and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, Li Miaoyi turned around and took Zhong Xia towards Li Jiang's courtyard.

In the quiet courtyard late at night, the lantern still had a faint light, reflecting a figure of Meng Chun kneeling on the ground.

She was wearing a green shirt, her hair was messy, tears were streaming down her face, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't make any sound.

Li Miaoyi stepped forward worriedly and wanted to help Meng Chun up. Meng Chun shook her head gently and whispered, "Miss, please leave me alone. Madam is still angry at this moment. Miss, go in and take a look."

Li Miaoyi shook her head, touched her head gently, and whispered, "You get up first, I'll take care of it from my mother's side."

Meng Chun trembled and shook his head, "Miss, I'm fine. You go and see Madam first."

Li Miaoyi sighed, turned to look at Zhong Xia, and said, "You stay here with her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Miaoyi walked to the door gently. When Grandma Jiang saw that the person coming was Li Miaoyi, she nodded to her and opened the door.

Mrs. Li Jiang was wearing luxurious clothes and sitting on a stool in the room.

Li Jiangshi's brows were furrowed tightly, her eyes flashing with anger. There was a finely carved wooden box in her hand.

The moment she saw the wooden box, Li Miaoyi's heart skipped a beat.

When Li Jiang turned to look at Li Miaoyi, she glared at Li Miaoyi, pointed at the wooden box, and said, "Where did the things in the box come from?" Li Miaoyi bit her lower lip, but said nothing.

Seeing Li Miaoyi's appearance, Mrs. Li Jiang couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart, and shouted angrily, "Kneel down!"

Li Miaoyi lowered her head and knelt down straight.

Mrs. Li Jiang gritted her teeth, hurriedly circled around the room, shouted, "Mother Jiang, where is my stick?"

Grandma Li opened the door, walked in with her body bent, took out a thin stick from the cabinet in the back, walked slowly to Mrs. Li Jiang, and handed the stick to Mrs. Li Jiang.

Li Miaoyi glanced at it from the corner of her eye. This wooden stick was used by Li Jiang to teach her when she made a mistake when she was a child, but it had not been used for many years.

This time, Li Jiangshi really got angry.

Li Jiangshi walked towards Li Miaoyi angrily with a stick in hand and beat her several times.

He said angrily, "Tell me, where did these things come from?"

Li Miaoyi suddenly shivered, trembling all over, and tears streaming down her face.

She looked at Li Jiangshi with helpless eyes, feeling unprecedentedly aggrieved and bitter.

Li Jiangshi did not take it seriously and continued to vent her anger on Li Miaoyi. Li Miaoyi was beaten more and more embarrassingly, but she did not resist and could only endure silently.

Seeing Li Miaoyi's aggrieved look, Li Jiang became even more angry. Finally, her gaze stopped on Li Miaoyi's slightly red eye circles, and Li Jiang stopped.

"That's all." Mrs. Li Jiang sighed and said, "Tell me the truth, where do these things come from?"

Li Miaoyi lowered her head and shook her head, but said nothing.

Li Jiangshi closed her eyes and said, "I am your mother, is there anything I can't know?"

Li Miaoyi's voice was very low and almost inaudible as she said, "Mother, there are some things that it is best to know as little as possible."

Li Jiangshi laughed angrily and said, "Do you mean what you did is something extraordinary?"

Li Miaoyi nodded gently, looked at Li Jiangshi steadily, and slowly said, "I was quite naughty when I was a child, but mother, have I ever done anything outrageous since I grew up?"

Li Jiangshi's movements paused.

Li Miaoyi continued, "Never before, mother, why don't you believe me."

Mrs. Li Jiang sighed helplessly and said slowly, "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just worried that you've gone astray."

Li Miaoyi raised her head and looked at Li Jiangshi with firm eyes and said, "Mother, trust me."

Li Jiangshi was silent for a long time and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, she nodded helplessly, leaned down and helped Li Miaoyi up, and slowly said, "In that case, mother will trust you, but no matter what you want to do, Keep yourself safe first.”

"Yes." Li Miaoyi said happily.

"That's right." Mrs. Li Jiang looked at Li Miaoyi worriedly and asked, "Mingcang is not as simple as Xiao Fenghan, right?"

Li Miaoyi nodded and said, "I really didn't hide anything from my mother. Ming Cang was poisoned a few days ago when he was trying to save His Highness the Crown Prince. But don't worry, my mother, the poison has been detoxified now and she is fine."

Li Jiangshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It will be fine if nothing happens, it will be fine if nothing happens."

Li Miaoyi turned to look at Mrs. Li Jiang and asked slowly, "Didn't my mother tell Aunt Xie?"

Li Jiangshi smiled and patted Li Miaoyi's hand and said, "I haven't." After a pause, Li Jiangshi took a long sigh and said helplessly, "Since Shi'an left, your Aunt Xie's health has not been good, mother. How dare you talk to her about this again? What if something happens?"

After a pause, Mrs. Li Jiang tilted her head to look at Li Miaoyi and asked, "How is the prince doing now?" (End of Chapter)
