Meng Xiaoqin was speechless.

"Auntie, you..."

Meng Xiaoqin wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to start, let alone what to say.

Leng Yuebai looked at them like this and said with a curled lip: "Meng Xiaoqin, you don't think your mother is still alive, do you?"

"Collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and kill all nine clans. No one from the Song or Meng family will escape."

"But if you tell the truth, perhaps the emperor will be able to show some mercy."

"And if the emperor is furious, it's hard to say whether Aunt Lin will be tortured to death."

"At his age, he probably can't stand the torture."

Meng Xiaoqin shouted: "No, you can't do this, you can't do this!"

Aunt Lin trembled and said, "Xiaoqin, will they kill your uncle and the others? No, no!"

Meng Xiaoqin knew that her mother was cowardly and weak, but her love for her was genuine.

During the time at the Meng family, the mother and daughter depended on each other.

She was reluctant to eat or use anything, and kept everything close to her.

Her mother could humbly pray to the eldest lady for her.

Aunt Lin was originally a maid in the mansion, and many of her relatives were from the Meng mansion.

It was also Meng Xiaoqin who took care of them on weekdays under the identity of Meng Qiangwei. Some of them left the Meng Mansion and regained their freedom.

But some of them worked as managers in the Meng Mansion.

Meng Xiaoqin couldn't do it too obviously, as that would easily make people doubt her identity.

Meng Xiaoqin's eyes turned slightly red.

She originally wanted to take revenge on everyone, but when she saw her mother's appearance, she thought of many things from her childhood, and her heart felt sour and painful.

"Mom, you are actually very favored because of your looks, and Dad actually dotes on you too, but why did you become a coward later?"

"I'm afraid the eldest lady will do something to you."

"I just want to keep you safe."

At first, Aunt Lin did become Master Meng's concubine for the sake of wealth and glory, but later, for the sake of her daughter, she chose not to fight for it.

"You'll know once you become a mother."

Aunt Lin looked at Meng Xiaoqin excitedly, not daring to blink.

In fact, Aunt Lin has been acting crazy sometimes over the years and always looks for Meng Xiaoqin.

If she hadn't been well taken care of, she would have died long ago.

Meng Xiaoqin felt very uncomfortable.

In the end, she failed to save her mother.

"I'll tell you everything. Can you let my mother go?"

Leng Yuebai said: "That depends on how you explain it."

Aunt Lin shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm not afraid of death, Xiaoqin. I just want you to live and be well. I'm not afraid of death, really, so don't worry about me."

As she spoke, Aunt Lin looked at the pillar next to her, thinking about bumping into it sometime.

Meng Xiaoqin felt sad when she saw her mother's expression.

She didn't know why, she wanted to cry even though she had no tears.

"Qibin, Qibin is my grandson, right, right?"

Meng Xiaoqin nodded and said, "Yes!"

Aunt Lin was very excited at this moment. She knelt down and kowtowed to Leng Yuebai, saying, "Sir, please spare Qi Bin. I kowtow to you, sir. I kowtow to you."

Aunt Lin kowtowed continuously.

Meng Xiaoqin yelled, "Mom, don't kowtow. Don't kowtow to anyone."

What she saw most when she was a child was her mother kowtowing to the eldest lady, and then kneeling.

Her mother had to go to the eldest lady to serve her every day, and often had to limp back to the house.

At that time, what the mother and daughter thought about most was to survive.

At that time, she didn't want to see her mother kowtow to anyone.

Meng Qiangwei was stupid and bullied her at the beginning.

Later, she took advantage of an opportunity to save Meng Qiangwei, and Meng Qiangwei began to trust her and treated her well.

She used Meng Qiangwei to make life better for both mother and daughter.

Jiang Zhinian asked, "Meng Xiaoqin, does your mother know that you are a spy in Southern Xinjiang and want to harm so many innocent people in Yan State?"

"Once war breaks out, more innocent people will die."

"You can hate the world and hate many people, but there are many people like you and your daughter in this world who just want to survive."

"You can be emotionless and don't care about anything, but ask your mother, does she want you to do this?"

Although Aunt Lin had never been to school and didn't understand much, she still understood some general principles.

"Xiaoqin, you...did you really do these things?"

Aunt Lin wiped her tears and looked at Meng Xiaoqin with painful eyes.

She didn't believe her daughter would do that.

"Xiao Qin, you can't do bad things, you can't cause murder!"

"If there hadn't been a war, nothing would have happened to my village, and I wouldn't have entered the Meng Mansion. I hate war the most. I hate war the most."

"Your grandparents died in the war."

If there had been no war, Aunt Lin would not have entered the Meng Mansion as a maid.

She will marry a wealthy family and live a good life.

Meng Xiaoqin knew all this, "Mom, we care about those things, but who else cares about our lives? Who cares about our lives?"

"The way the eldest lady treated you, she wanted to torture you to death, and dad didn't care."

"And the servants in the mansion didn't take mom seriously. There was nothing in winter, and mom almost froze to death several times."

"The eldest lady made you sick, and I went to ask her for help, but she refused to send for a doctor."

"The eldest lady is still trying to kill me."

"Don't worry, mother. I've avenged you. The eldest lady was pissed off to death by me."

"That day, I drugged her. She lay there unable to move or speak, but she was conscious. I told her how I killed Meng Qiangwei and how I avenged her. The eldest lady went crazy at the time."

Meng Xiaoqin's expression was distorted as she said this.

Then she laughed so hard that she couldn't laugh anymore.

Aunt Lin shook her head, "No, no..."

She didn't believe her daughter would be like this.

Meng Xiaoqin didn't dare to look at her mother at this time. She could only look at Leng Yuebai and said, "I can explain. Although I am in the Song family and usually don't go out of the main door or the second door, the second wife of the Song family, Mrs. Pan, can easily go in and out of the Song Mansion. She also contacts her Pan family and passes on news to me."

"As for Song Xiangjian, he has been watched by the Southern Xinjiang authorities since early on, in order to allow him to infiltrate the palace."

"Of course, I am just a chess piece used to contain Song Xiangjian. Although I have planted spies, they are still worried, so I have to control their weak spots."

"So I have to complete this task. They planned it step by step, including letting me have Meng Qiangwei's face to seduce Song Xiangjian."

"I also need to make Song Xiangjian feel guilty towards me all the time, so that he can't indulge in the gentleness of Princess Min Dai, and make him remember the hatred all the time."

"The spies in Southern Xinjiang don't trust me, so with Song Qibin, he can better contain Song Xiangjian."

"Their goal is probably to let Song Xiangjian control the imperial guards in the future so that they can threaten the safety of the palace at any time."

"Song Xiangjian was drunk that day, and I actually put drugs in his wine."

"The reason why he lost his mind in the beginning was because I used drugs that could make him lose his mind and magnify his thoughts..."

"But I don't know who the spy behind Song Xiangjian is."

"For each spy, they would assign another spy to keep an eye on him, but their respective tasks did not overlap."
