I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

Liu Yue subconsciously blocked the children behind her and glanced at the secret guards with vigilance.

The secret guard was somewhat at a loss holding the stack of portraits, standing there motionless and explaining: "Miss Liu, I didn't do anything."

Liu Yueru was relieved when she saw that the secret guard was the one she saw often.

Then he turned to the terrified children behind him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The boy who was in the lead walked out of the crowd and pointed at the secret guard and said, "The portrait in his hand shows a demon."

Those children called Monk Huineng a devil.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and subconsciously took all the portraits from the secret guard's hands.

She looked carefully at the portraits and found that in the top one the man had a scar on his face.

Liu Yueru pulled out the portrait and showed it to the children: "Is this the devil you are talking about?"

They just took one look and were so scared that their faces turned pale and they all backed away.

Only the boy in the lead suppressed his fear and looked at the man in the portrait seriously.

After confirming it, he nodded firmly towards Liu Yueru and said, "It's him, it's him."

After getting the confirmation of the children, Liu Yueru told Lixia and Bailu to keep an eye on the children, while she went to the main hall with the secret guards to look for Xie Jingrui.

At this time, Xie Jingrui's brows were furrowed, and he said to the secret guards: "Investigate, turn Wanfu Temple upside down to find that person."

"We can't let those children go back." Liu Yueru spoke to Xie Jingrui in an urgent voice.

Xie Jingrui followed Liu Yueru's direction and asked in confusion, "Why?"

She handed the portrait in her hand to Xie Jingrui and said solemnly, "The demon the children are talking about is no longer in Wanfu Temple. According to what the children said, if they take a child away every three days, if we give the children back to their parents today, they can still find their homes and take those children away."

Xie Jingrui looked down at the person in the portrait, with a cold light in his eyes, and handed the portrait to the secret guard: "Draw a few more portraits of this, and search for the person in the portrait and find him."

After explaining all this, Xie Jingrui turned back to look at Liu Yueru; "Brother Yan and Brother Hua have already arranged for their mother-in-law to bring people to pick them up every day, so you can rest assured for now."

Liu Yueru nodded slightly: "The parents of those children need to be sent back first. It is not a good idea to keep them here. The Queen Mother may have been frightened today. We need to arrange a carriage to send her back as soon as possible."

Xie Jingrui stood up and followed Liu Yueru towards the side room.

At this time.

There was an inopportune sound suddenly coming from outside the door.

"Madam Liu is really popular. The King of Jin, who is always cold to others, can now be used by you."

As Concubine Hui spoke, she looked at Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui with a special look.

It seemed like the two of them had done something shameful.

Liu Yueru bowed to Concubine Hui.

Then, Xie Jingrui took a step forward, protecting Liu Yueru behind him, and looked at Concubine Hui with a sharp gaze and said, "Madam Liu is naturally good. She is more admirable than some people in terms of both her character and her way of doing things."

"If Concubine Hui seems to be panicking, she can recite scriptures and worship Buddha in this hall and pray for the Imperial Grandmother."

After saying this, Xie Jingrui, regardless of Concubine Hui's bad expression, took Liu Yueru and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Madam Liu and I have something to say." Concubine Hui said to Liu Yueru.

Xie Jingrui wanted to block the love for Liu Yueru.

But Liu Yueru also knew what Concubine Hui wanted to say to her.

She gave Xie Jingrui a reassuring look; "Your Highness, please go and see the children first."

Xie Jingrui glanced at Concubine Hui with a warning look, and then stood not far away: "I will wait for you here. I also have something to tell you."

After saying this, he ignored Concubine Hui's speechless expression and just stood in the distance, but his eyes would occasionally look towards where they were.

Liu Yueru reluctantly withdrew her gaze and asked Concubine Hui in a distant tone, "I wonder why Concubine Hui wanted to keep me here?"

Concubine Hui smiled kindly, took out a jade hairpin of good quality from her sleeve and placed it in Liu Yueru's hand. She said in a neutral voice, "This hairpin was given to me by the emperor in his early years. I have heard of Madam Liu's reputation for a long time. Today I see that it is indeed well-deserved."

Liu Yueri lowered her eyes and looked at the hairpin sent by Concubine Hui, her eyes flickering. She knew very well that what Concubine Hui was doing was just to take the opportunity to win over the power of the Liu family.

Given the current situation, she didn't dare to easily support her father and elder brother in taking sides. If she was not careful, her family would be raided and their entire family would be wiped out.

Liu Yueru pretended to be puzzled and pushed the hairpin back in her hand. She said in a gentle voice, "This hairpin is too valuable. Concubine Hui should keep it for herself. After all, it was given by the Emperor. How can I let Concubine Hui give it up with such pain? Besides, I am a divorced woman and I am not worthy of such a top-quality hairpin."

Concubine Hui seemed not to understand Liu Yueru's refusal.

She held Liu Yueru's hand in a pretentious manner and said with a smile, "Please accept this hairpin. Xuanyu has been concerned about Madam Liu's affairs for a long time. If Madam Liu is interested, I am also an open-minded person and do not mind letting Madam Liu become Xuanyu's concubine."

After hearing this, Liu Yueru quickly pulled her hand back from Concubine Hui's hand. The cold jade hairpin felt more like a hot sweet potato, so she quickly stuffed the hairpin back into Concubine Hui's hand.

Then, she knelt down in front of Concubine Hui and said, "I dare not have any desires. Please find someone else to be the concubine of Prince An Ning."

Liu Yue's attempt to win over Concubine Hui failed, and her actions only offended Concubine Hui completely.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrui strode towards the two of them.

Concubine Hui cast a fierce look at Liu Yueru, and then angrily said to her, "You ungrateful person."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Xie Jingrui pulled Liu Yueru up from the ground and looked at her with confusion.

Liu Yueru looked back at Concubine Hui's leaving figure and smiled bitterly: "I have made enemies for the prince and the Liu family again."

Xie Jingrui raised his eyebrows slightly; "The power of their gang is not strong enough, don't take it to heart."

Liu Yueru, who had originally pursed her lips, couldn't help but reveal a smile at this moment.

"I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me and protect me in the future."

A smug look appeared on Xie Jingrui's face, and he nodded with great satisfaction.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the side room where the children were. The children had almost recognized their parents and each held a portrait of their father or mother in their hands.

Only the child in the lead did not have a portrait in his hand. He stood in the corner with a lonely look on his face. When he saw Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui coming in, he walked forward carefully.

In a low voice, he asked tentatively, "Is there something missing from the portrait? I, I mean, do my parents not want me anymore?"
