"what!"

Warm blood poured down on her head and Zeng Guihua screamed subconsciously.

but--

Why isn't she in pain?

Zeng Guihua suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the big man with a knife in front of her had fallen to the ground, his limbs twitching and he was no longer breathing.

The knife in the other big man's hand was knocked away and stabbed hard into the door panel.

He screamed in horror, "No!"

The man's sword flashed like lightning and directly cut his throat.

The big man covered his broken throat, fell down unwillingly, and lost his breath.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.

Zeng Guihua stared at the woman who suddenly appeared and killed two big men with lightning speed.

who is she!

The woman looked to be in her early twenties and had a very beautiful face.

Especially that pair of clear phoenix eyes that made people feel cold in their hearts and dared not look directly at them.

She wore no makeup or ornaments, only a long gown with narrow sleeves, which was simple in style but made of fine material.

The sword in her hand shone with a cold light, making her whole demeanor even more extraordinary.

Zeng Guihua has lived for so many years and has visited many powerful and wealthy people, but she has never seen such a godlike woman in front of her.

This man killed two big men, but did not kill her. He should have saved her!

Zeng Guihua swallowed hard, her smile was uglier than crying.

"Thank you so much for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness. May I ask your name?"

Jiang Li looked at Zeng Guihua, "Jiang Li."

Boom!

Zeng Guihua felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her head was buzzing.

She has lived for half of her life and considers herself not a very good person, but she is definitely not a very evil person either.

But, there is only one thing.

She couldn't sleep or eat well, and felt extremely guilty, so she didn't dare to tell anyone even if she died.

There was only one person she dared not see again because of her guilty conscience.

The man's name was Jiang Li.

Zeng Guihua looked at Jiang Li in despair, her body shaking like a sieve.

"You are actually the Crown Prince's Consort of Yongning Marquis Mansion!"

"It seems that Zeng Midwife still remembers me, and you also know why I am here."

Jiang Li held the sword and slowly walked towards Zeng Guihua.

Before he reached Zeng Guihua, Zeng Guihua fell to her knees.

"Please, Crown Princess, please spare me! I was forced to do so. I, I was only following orders!"

Seven years ago, she delivered Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was born prematurely, and the delivery was extremely difficult. Fortunately, the child did well, and both mother and child are safe.

But the nobleman of Yongning Marquis's Mansion asked her to drown the three children, and gave a new child to Jiang Li, asking her to lie to Jiang Li, saying that she gave birth to triplets, two of whom died and only one survived.

Being a midwife is supposed to be a good person, but she committed such a bad thing. From then on, she never did this job again and went straight back to Xinghua Village.

But I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape.

Due to karma, the evil she did in the past is now coming back to haunt her.

Jiang Li stopped in front of Zeng Guihua and looked down at her.

"If I spare you, who will spare my drowned child?"

She gripped the hilt tightly and placed the tip of the sword against Zeng Guihua's forehead.

"What did you do with my children? Where are their remains?"

"Princess! I didn't drown your child!"

Zeng Guihua widened her eyes, clasped her hands together, clenched them tightly in front of her chest, and kowtowed directly to Jiang Li.

"What did you say!"

Jiang Li picked up Zeng Guihua and stared into her eyes like a madman.

"Back then, the Crown Prince and the Marquis' wife wanted me to drown your three children, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, so I hid them and kept it a secret from the Crown Prince and the Marquis' wife."

Zeng Guihua was like a little chick in Jiang Li's hands, and she finished her words tremblingly.

Jiang Li subconsciously let go of his hand, looking stunned.

Is this a dream?

Zeng Guihua said that her three children were not dead!

They are still alive!

Zeng Guihua fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to say a word.

"Grandma Zeng! Where are they? Where did you hide them?"

Jiang Li looked at Zeng Guihua as if he was sleepwalking, his expression was so gentle that it was a little scary.

Zeng Guihua shuddered suddenly, and her mouth seemed to be stuck with glue. Under Jiang Li's stare, she couldn't utter a word.

"Grandma Zeng! Why don't you tell me, did I scare you?"

Jiang Li immediately threw away the sword in his hand with an apologetic look on his face.

She held Zeng Guihua's hand and said anxiously, "Don't worry, you are my child's savior, I will never hurt you! Please tell me where the child is, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"The Crown Princess..."

Zeng Guihua trembled and still didn't dare to speak.

Because as long as she tells the truth, Jiang Li will never let her go!

Jiang Li suddenly chuckled, she let go of Zeng Guihua's hand, and took a step back.

Under Zeng Guihua's horrified gaze, he took out a letter and said, "Grandma Zeng, the one who killed your entire family was the prince Xie Jun."

She raised two fingers towards Zeng Guihua, "You have two choices now. One, if you don't get a response, Xie Jun will send people to hunt you down again, and you will definitely die. Two."

Jiang Li paused and smiled gently.

"Tell me where my child is."

"No matter what you did back then, you were able to save their lives in Yongning Marquis' Mansion, so you are my great benefactor. I will protect your safety and avenge your son and daughter-in-law."

Jiang Li looked at Zeng Guihua, and his mind, which had been overwhelmed by ecstasy, had completely calmed down.

If Zeng Guihua had simply saved her children, she would definitely have said it happily.

Zeng Guihua refuses to say anything now, but the result is already very obvious. That year, after she saved the child, she also did something evil.

"Princess, I, I..."

Zeng Guihua also knew that she had no way out, her knees went weak and she knelt down again.

"Please spare my life, Princess. I brought them home and hid them for three months. I was so scared that I sold them together."

Jiang Li was not surprised by this result at all, and even felt a little fortunate, at least the news of their death was not received.

There is still hope for the child to survive.

She looked at Zeng Guihua, who was crying, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Who did you sell them to? Do you remember the details? Grandma Zeng, please tell me clearly one by one."

Zeng Guihua no longer concealed anything and told everything that happened that year like pouring beans.

Then he crawled into the house and took out a locked box from the large wooden box that came with her dowry.

She handed it to Jiang Li respectfully.

"Princess, here are the hair of three children and three taels of silver from selling them."

Zeng Guihua bit her lip and said, "I, I didn't dare to use it. I put it all here!"

Jiang Li opened the box, and inside were three strands of soft hair and a silver ingot weighing three taels.

That was all her child had.

Jiang Li touched the baby's hair carefully, and tears suddenly fell on her hands.

According to the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the baby’s hair would be taken when the baby was one month old to bless the baby with a safe life.

Her children still have their hair intact, so they must still be alive.

Jiang Li carefully put away the baby's hair and looked at Zeng Guihua again.

"Thank you, Zeng Po. It's time for us to leave too."

At the same time, Prince Yong's Mansion received new secret information.

"You actually lost him. Jiang Li did not go to Huangze Temple."

Chu Ninghan supported his forehead and turned to look at the secret guard. The white scarf tied behind his head and a strand of black hair hung from behind his ears to his chest.
