“Send hi like a leaf
Two strong servants quickly scra him off All they could hear was Li Chun's shouts as usual, “It really is the No-Death Gold Card! Our family really has it!”
The shouts slowly faded into nothing After a long ti as you have cared for Chengfeng for so many years, you won't die today”
Zhao Xiaobao was ecstatic He scraet up, then koed “Thank you for your mercy, Madam! Thank you…”
She then suddenly said coldly, “You will still be punished, even if it isn't death! Green Bead, get Xiaobao one hundred silvers, then kick him out!”
Zhao Xiaobao looked as if he was struck by lightning The hall was deathly quiet
Li Chengfeng was especially stunned!
He shouted, “Mother, no!”
Zhao XIaobao suddenly koed vigorously, knocking loudly on the stone slabs as he cried loudly, “Madam, I have learned from my mistakes!”
Madam Xie's face was solemn She did not speak
He cried, “I have lived in the Li fa, this is my home! If you kick me out, I'll just be a stray without a home!”
She did not change her expression, saying mercilessly, “The eive you today, what about tomorrow?”
Li Chengfeng protested, “Mother, if you kick Xiaobao out, isn't it the sa him?”
She replied coldly, “If he doesn't leave, we die Do you really think it is worth risking all our lives for one life?”
Zhao Xiaobao was hopeless now He turned to ko at Li Chengfeng, “I can no longer serve you anyood care of yourself!”
Li Chengfeng gave her a long look, trying to make out her true intentions for this After a while, when he helped Xiaobao up, he whispered, “Go to the place we hid the stuff we stole at Cheng village, take all of it out and find a way to change them into money Wait for me there If I don't show up, find a way to meet me”
Zhao Xiaobao nodded slightly, a little calmer now He wiped his tears and left with Green Bead
After the huge fight at Liu Sue, he had already injured his tendons despite the victory And due to his stubbornness, he had been beaten upon reaching home once more Even worse, Xiaobao had been chased out by his own inable toll on his body so when he was supported to his bed, he collapsed
“How is he?” Green Bead asked Madae of his bed
Mada his pulse, her brows furrowed “His pulse is very erratic, and he's already injured his tendons…”
Li Chengfeng struggled to grab her wrist, saying in a low voice, “Mother! Xiaobao and I are practically brothers! If you chase hioing to die for sure!”
Madam Xie fell silent for a while She looked at Green Bead, who understood She looked left and right at the door, then closed it When Su Yuehan saw it, she also closed the
Green Bead looked at her, puzzled She did not understand why Su Yuehan did not leave, given the current situation
Madam Xie noticed her confusion and sarded Su Yuehan fro her
Mada'an!”
To Green Bead and Su Yuehan's surprise, Li Chengfeng did not look shocked After a pause, he said, “When are we leaving? After the ancestral prayers?”
She thought for a moment “We will leave the day of the ancestor prayers We won't attract attention then We will pay our respects outside of the city, then take the opportunity to leave to Yongle City of the Lu County in the south”
Chengfeng asked, “Why Yongle?”
“I allocated soo, plus it is close to the temple”
Li Chengfeng said, “So today was just an excuse to divert attention?”
“It's about time I reminded everyone of our house rules anyway”
“But… what about Xiaobao?”
Madam Xie cut him off “You ain! Rest well, the ancestral prayers will be in three days You'll be busy then”
When she finished, she stood up to leave
She opened the door to be greeted with snow fluttering fro, they were sparse but soon, it filled the skies and the lands, as if goose doas falling fro was covered in pure, white snow
She exhaled, which forently, “It's snowing”
