As soon as Xie Liuzheng returned to the yard, he heard someone talking in his study.

?

She couldn't help but be stunned.

?

She gave her boudoir to Zhou Paner, but Zhou Paner was not allowed to enter the study. Could it be that Zhou Paner sneaked in while she was away?

?

Thinking of the things he had written casually placed on the desk in the study, Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but rush in quickly.

?

She wanted to see how the other party would defend himself for trespassing into her study after being caught red-handed.

?

"Who allowed you to come into my study?"

?

As Xie Liuzheng walked in aggressively, she was about to question the other party, but then the person inside turned around.

?

Xie Liuzheng then realized that the person was not Zhou Paner.

?

"Mother? Why are you here? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

?

?

Xie Xiangyu glanced at her daughter and did not miss the men's clothing she was wearing.

?

"Where have you been so late? Why didn't you bring Fang Cheng or the guards with you? Do you know that it's dangerous for a girl like you to go out alone so late at night?"

?

?

Xie Xiangyu started to criticize her in rapid succession. Xie Liuzheng knew she was wrong, so she stuck out her tongue and started to act coquettishly towards Xie Xiangyu!

?

I hope she can forgive herself.

?

"Mother, I didn't do anything. I just went out for a walk on a whim! I was feeling a little depressed. It seemed that the people around me had become more unlucky and miserable because of me..."

?

Hearing this, Xie Xiangyu knew that Xie Liuzheng must be blaming herself because of Qiuyue's injury, but she didn't expect her daughter to think this way.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiangyu couldn't bear to blame her anymore and gently pulled her to her side.

?

"Liu Zheng, none of this is your fault! The people around you will not become unhappy because of you! These are just coincidences. Besides, Qiuyue must be very lucky that she got hurt instead of you!"

?

?

Xie Xiangyu was very grateful to Qiuyue. If she hadn't stepped forward, it would have been Xie Liuzheng who would have been seriously injured.

?

She admitted that she was a selfish person, but at the same time she was also a selfish mother. Xie Xiangyu absolutely did not want anything bad to happen to her child.

?

If Xie Xiangyu knew Qiuyue's words, she would definitely compensate her well, so that Qiuyue would not be disappointed and Liu Zheng would not have any undue thoughts.

?

Xie Xiangyu just didn't expect that Liu Zheng would blame all the mistakes on her.

?

"Silly child! If someone wants to bully you, it's their fault. Why do you blame it on yourself?"

?

"Human hearts are the most uncontrollable. So just stick to your original intention. As for others, Liu Zheng, it's better to pay less attention to them."

?

When Xie Xiangyu taught her daughter, she naturally hoped that her daughter would be safe and well, and that all misfortunes would stay away from her.

?

She felt that Liu Zheng placed too much emphasis on feelings, which could be her advantage, but it could also be her weakness.

?

Xie Xiangyu was very clear about this. She would rather Liu Zheng be a little selfish than blame herself for all the mistakes like she was doing now.

?

Faced with Xie Xiangyu's words, Xie Liuzheng was a little confused.

?

Seeing her daughter like this, Xie Xiangyu couldn't bear to leave her alone with her wild thoughts, so she took her daughter aside to talk at night.

?

"Liu Zheng, when mom was your age, I did think about this, too. It seems like your grandpa and the people around him passed away so early because of me!"

?

"But one day, I saw an old man selling wild fruits on the street. There were many customers coming and going, but no one was willing to spend money to buy wild fruits that they could pick themselves."

?

"My mother saw with her own eyes that a man who thought the wild fruits were too expensive and was going to pick them himself died of thirst."

?

"Some passers-by accused the deceased of being too stingy, while others accused the old man of asking for too high a price, because otherwise the man would have eaten wild fruits and would not have died of thirst!"

?

Xie Xiangyu calmly told Xie Liuzheng the story she had witnessed, and then she asked, "Liuzheng, do you think that the master needs to be held responsible for this matter? And the person who died, if he knew that he only needed to spend a few dollars to save his life, do you think he would still be reluctant to do so?"

?

Xie Liuzheng shook his head, "This is none of my business! And if that person knew he would die of thirst, he would definitely spend a few copper coins to buy wild fruits to eat!"

?

After saying this, Xie Liuzheng suddenly realized, "Mother, I understand what you mean. I never expected that others would hurt me, but Qiuyue got hurt to protect me! I am actually the victim in this matter, and the people who really need to pay the price should be the abuser and the mastermind behind him!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Xiangyu nodded, "What a smart girl! Do you still think you will bring disaster and misfortune to the people around you?"

?

Xie Liuzheng shook his head, "I'm not that ominous person! Qiuyue was injured, I will help her get revenge, and we should find the mastermind behind the incident and the person who hurt Qiuyue!"

?

Then she thanked her mother, "Thank you, mother. If it weren't for you, I might have gotten stuck in a dead end."

?

Seeing Liu Zheng become cheerful again, Xie Xiangyu smiled and said, "Mother should be thanking you! If it weren't for my Liu Zheng, mother might have died in the sea long ago."

?

When Xie Xiangyu thought about waking up and finding out that her daughter's injuries were several times more than her own, she felt extremely guilty. Not only did she fail to protect her daughter, but she also caused her daughter to suffer so many injuries in order to save her.

?

If the mother and daughter had not encountered the Pingxi Marquis fleet in the end, they would most likely have died in the sea and become food for the fish.

?

In fact, Xie Xiangyu had wanted to thank her daughter for a long time, but she never had the chance. Now that they were alone here, Xie Xiangyu took the opportunity to say what was in her heart.

?

Facing Xie Xiangyu's thanks, Xie Liuzheng felt embarrassed, "Mom, don't say that. Didn't you save me too? Do we have to thank each other all the time?"

?

Then, just when Xie Xiangyu wanted to say something, a maid's voice suddenly came from the door.

?

"Madam, the Marquis of Pingxi has just returned and is looking for you everywhere!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng smiled and pushed his mother out of the door, "Mom, you should go and have a look. Pingxi Hou is very tired in training the soldiers. When he comes back at night, he will naturally hope to see you! As for me, I am going to sleep too, so I won't disturb you."

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng closed the door and quickly turned off the lights.

?

Seeing her daughter like this, Xie Xiangyu didn't want to stay any longer. She told the maid to take good care of the young lady, and then went back leisurely.

?

As a result, as soon as she walked into the garden, Xie Xiangyu saw Pingxi Hou who came to visit her.

?

But facing him, Xie Xiangyu did not have a good expression. She just snorted and walked past him to go back.

?

"Xiangyu, what's wrong with you? I came back a little late today, but in the past, no matter how late I came, you were never angry."
