In the middle of the night, just as Xie Liuzheng was about to go to bed, he heard hurried footsteps.

?

She couldn't help but prop herself up, not knowing who was coming.

?

After a while, the door was pushed open.

?

Then she saw a familiar figure.

?

"Mother!"

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't expect that her mother would actually come back. The news she received before was that it would take at least four or five people for Xie Xiangyu to come back.

?

I didn't expect her to come back tonight.

?

Xie Xiangyu stared at her daughter in a daze, then stared at her red and swollen face, feeling heartbroken.

?

"It must hurt, right?"

?

Xie Liuzheng shook her head, "Mom, it doesn't hurt at all."

?

But Xie Xiangyu stared at her and cried, how could it not hurt? Xie Liuzheng was afraid of pain since she was a child.

?

Your face is so swollen now, it must be very painful!

?

"Did Xie Guangyu beat me? Is he taking advantage of the fact that there's no one in our family?" Xie Xiangyu said hatefully.

?

How could Xie Xiangyu swallow the humiliation of seeing her precious daughter, whom she held in her hands for fear of dropping her and in her mouth for fear of melting, being bullied like this?

?

And she won't let Qin Guangjin go either.

?

Seeing her mother's angry look, Xie Liuzheng felt warm in her heart, but she still reminded, "Mom, Third Uncle Xie is dead, so I guess Xie Guangyu won't have time to bother us again."

?

"Third uncle is dead, we will go to pay our respects, but this is not a reason for them to bully you."

?

Seeing that Xie Xiangyu insisted, Xie Liuzheng didn't say anything else. After all, she didn't suffer any loss and she wasn't the type to seek revenge.

?

Since his mother wanted to stand up for him, Xie Liuzheng naturally would not refuse and thus disappoint his mother.

?

As for the areas that her mother has not taken care of, Xie Liuzheng will help her.

?

But Xie Xiangyu didn't let her go with him, "You just stay at home and wait for your mother to come back."

?

So Xie Liuzheng was left in the mansion, and she could only watch helplessly as her mother left in a hurry.

?

Not knowing what Xie Xiangyu said, Xie Liuzheng forced himself not to sleep and sat in the yard waiting.

?

An hour passed.

?

Two hours passed.

?

……

?

When Xie Liuzheng opened her eyes, it was already dawn, but her mother had not returned yet.

?

"Qiuyue, where's mom? Has she come back?"

?

Qiuyue was also in a daze. When she heard her ask this, she quickly got up and took a look.

?

"Miss, the Madam hasn't come back yet! I heard from the servant that she seemed to have left the city overnight."

?

"Mom left again? She just came back and left before she could even catch her breath." Xie Liuzheng felt a little depressed.

?

But she changed her mind and realized that her mother was working so hard to give her a better life.

?

But thinking of the person behind the scenes, Xie Liuzheng felt a little worried, "Hurry up and contact Fang Cheng, and ask him to send a few more people to secretly protect mother!"

?

"Yes, miss!"

?

Qiuyue didn't dare to delay and turned around to inform Fang Chengcheng.

?

In fact, Xie Liuzheng didn't want to think too much, she just hoped that her mother was safe.

?

"I hope I'm just overthinking this."

?

But inexplicably, Xie Liuzheng felt a little uneasy.

?

At this moment, Xie Xiangyu was leading her men to quickly leave Yangzhou City. She had originally been at the residence of Mr. Xie Sanye to pay her respects.

?

Suddenly, I received news that several big clients of the Xie family were in the nearby Linzhou City.

?

Thinking that the Xie family would not be able to deliver the goods on time and that she had to give the other party an explanation, Xie Xiangyu made a temporary decision to rush to Linzhou City overnight.

?

Of course she could also choose to send her men, but those could not show their sincerity!

?

Xie Xiangyu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go over.

?

She rode her horse at full speed along the way.

?

We didn't take a carriage, that would have taken too much time.

?

But when they arrived at Linzhou City, a strong wind suddenly blew up all around, and Xie Xiangyu hurriedly asked everyone to dismount and walk.

?

She originally thought that there was an ambush, but when the wind died down, she didn't see anyone.

?

At this moment, the additional personnel sent by Fang Cheng also arrived.

?

"Master Xie, it's still dark now. We should wait until daybreak before setting out. It will be safer! In addition, the path over the bamboo forest is a small one and accidents may happen easily. We should take the official road."

?

A guard who had followed Xie Xiangyu for many years suggested.

?

Xie Xiangyu nodded.

?

The group rested for a while and set off after dawn.

?

What they didn't know was that the bamboo forest not far away was filled with bayonets. If they had moved forward in the dark, they would most likely have fallen into a trap.

?

By then, some will die and some will be injured.

?

And even if the government investigates, they won’t find anything.

?

Unfortunately, because of the guard's words, Xie Xiangyu did not take the shortcut.

?

What Xie Xiangyu didn't know was that the guard who had just spoken saw a piece of cloth hanging on the tree and thought there might be an ambush in the bamboo forest.

?

Otherwise, how could there be fragments of debris on the edge of the bamboo forest? Maybe it was left by the ambushers who accidentally scratched the bamboo.

?

But they didn't know that someone had already discovered the ambush and made preparations in advance.

?

The man in black did a good deed, left no name, and flew away.

?

Xie Xiangyu arrived in Linzhou City safely, and Fang Cheng was the first to receive the news that Xie Xiangyu was safe.

?

Xie Liuzheng, who hadn't slept all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

?

She was really afraid that there was something she had not considered that would cause her to lose her mother!

?

Fortunately, everything is normal. Maybe she is just too sensitive.

?

The main reason is that recent events have happened one after another. Xie Liuzheng knows that it was that person's work, so she dare not take it lightly, for fear that if she is not careful, the people around her will fall into the trap set by that person.

?

If you are not careful, you will pay the price with your life!

?

This bet made Xie Liuzheng dare not be careless.

?

Fortunately, mother is safe. Now we just have to wait for her to come back after dealing with the merchants. Xie Liuzheng decided not to let mother go out alone anymore.

?

No matter where she goes from now on, she will stay by her mother's side.

?

It was just a warehouse matter, so Xie Liuzheng immediately called the person who was following him to inquire about the progress.

?

Several people shook their heads. "We took turns keeping an eye on those ten people, but we didn't find anything unusual."

?

Xie Liuzheng was not surprised by this. If the other party's ability was so easy to be discovered, the other party would not have arranged for him to do this.

?

But Xie Liuzheng was not worried at all because the man could not be found.

?

"Keep watching. If anything happens, report to me immediately!"

?

Then she gave each person ten taels of silver as a reward.

?

Watching the few people happily taking the silver and leaving, Fang Cheng said nothing and bowed and left.

?

Xie Liuzheng stared blankly at the sky. She was actually thinking about something, such as who she was and what she should do next to completely crush the Xie family?

?

She soon had an idea.

?

Since the Xie family has to pay double the penalty for breach of contract, once the Xie family’s reputation is damaged, who would dare to do business with the Xie family again?

?

"Next, be careful with the banknotes! Don't let anyone swap them, or the Xie family's reputation will be ruined."

?

Once the Xie family's reputation is ruined, they will no longer be a threat.

?

Xie Liuzheng would rather she was overthinking it.
