Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Five: Sincere Admiration (2/2)
“Mother, what are you going to do? Are you not staying with us?” Brother Xing, feeling a certain anticipated dread, realized that his mother might have made a decision he couldn’t accept, and he asked eagerly.
“There are bad people targeting us. Your grandparents are in grave danger now because they want to protect us. Mother must go and save your grandparents. You all behave; Uncle Qi Yun and Aunt Qi Luo will take you to a safe place, and Mother will meet with you after rescuing your grandparents,” Su Wenyue explained with a smile.
From Su Wenyue’s actions, Qi Shen and Qi Luo had already anticipated something. After hearing what Su Wenyue said, they were all worried and astonished. They had originally thought that the Madam had made Mr. and Mrs. Su take risks because of the children, but they didn’t expect that the Madam had another plan in mind. Being smart people, they could almost guess Su Wenyue’s intentions and the actions she was going to take.
“Mother!” Not only were the adults present distraught, but Brother Xing too understood his mother’s decision after hearing her words. Tears filled his eyes; he wanted to stop his mother from taking the risk but knew that it involved his grandparents, his mother’s own parents, and she was doing what she as a daughter ought to do. How could he prevent her? Besides, these matters weren’t something a child could understand. He was utterly powerless to stop anything, and even if he sobbed and disagreed, it would merely bother his mother.
“Mother, rest assured, I will take good care of myself and my younger siblings. You must come back safely, we are all waiting for you,” Brother Xing said, wiping away tears, at this point all he could do was to take care of himself and his younger siblings to ease his mother’s worries.
Su Wenyue looked at Brother Xing with gratification; having a son like him, even if she really… would put her at ease. However, this was not the time for sentimentality. Even though they had not been discovered by enemies, danger could strike at any moment, and more importantly, her parents were constantly in peril. She had to act swiftly.
Hardening her heart, she chose not to look at the three children, but turned to Qi Shen and Qi Luo instead: “Qi Shen, Qi Luo, you are the people I trust the most. The safety of the three children is now in your hands; you must ensure their safety at all costs.”
“Madam, rest assured, even if we lose our own lives, we will not let anything happen to both Young Masters and the Miss,” Qi Luo solemnly promised.
Qi Shen did not immediately respond. Knowing Su Wenyue’s plan, he was even more aware of the dangers it entailed. No one understood more than them how much the Master cared for the Madam. In his heart, perhaps even the three children were not as important as Madam. If something happened to her, he could not imagine how the Master would react.
“Madam, you cannot be without protection. The two Young Masters and Miss will be protected by Qi Luo and the others. With you luring those people away, they should be safe from harm. I should stay by your side; the Master has commanded that we must ensure your…”
Su Wenyue cut Qi Shen off before he could finish: “Don’t try to persuade me, I’ve already made my decision. You just need to follow it. My children are my life; I can’t risk even the slightest danger to them, one person is not enough to protect them!”
“But Madam, your safety?” Qi Luo actually agreed with Qi Shen’s idea. The Madam’s actions were exceedingly dangerous to begin with, and if she were to be without protection
