Chapter 727: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 727: Meng Yunzheng's Mother, Song Xin
Meng Yunzheng took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, they naturally wanted to silence her. The maid who used to attend to my mother was immediately killed by that man with a sword."
"Originally, he also intended to kill my mother with a sword, but it was the palace consort who stopped him. Although my mother was emaciated, she still had a decent appearance. The palace consort resented her and couldn't stand the fact that my mother overshadowed her. She wanted to torment my mother before killing her."
"At that time, the palace consort had left the palace to visit her family. She had a lecherous older brother. The palace consort wanted to give my mother to her brother."
Shu Yu's fingers tightened. "And that despicable man? Did he agree?"
Despicable man?
Meng Yunzheng pondered for a moment. "Indeed, he was a despicable man."
Of course, the despicable man agreed. They bound his mother tightly and brought her to the Liu residence, the palace consort's mother's family. She was locked up in a small room with a maid watching over her, waiting for the lustful brother to visit her at night.
However, his mother had good luck. On that same night, the Liu residence was attacked by assassins.
The palace consort thought that the assassins had come for her and panicked. In her haste, she killed her way out, disguised herself, and left through the back door. She hurried back to the palace, taking away most of the guards from the residence in the process.
But once she left, the assassins showed no intention of stopping.
They had come for the Liu residence, and with a reduction in their guards, they found an opportunity.
At that time, except for a few people hiding in a secret room, most of the Liu family fell victim to the killers.
Song Xin was trembling with fear in the small room by herself, but due to the chaos outside, no one came to check on her.
After much effort, she managed to untie the ropes. However, when she opened the door, she found herself surrounded by tragic cries everywhere.
In the midst of this chaos, she saw her only chance to escape.
Song Xin didn't want to miss it. Fortunately, the room where she was held was in a secluded location, and the assassins were busy killing the Liu family members; no one paid attention to this side.
After leaving the small room, Song Xin saw the lifeless body of the maid who had been watching over her in the courtyard.
The maid's figure was similar to hers. Song Xin gritted her teeth, dragged the body into the room, changed clothes with her, roughly tied the ropes, and then... set the courtyard on fire.
Since the entire Liu residence was already engulfed in flames, and the assassins had brought camphor oil, they had already poured it in several places.
If the room caught fire, the bodies inside would be burned beyond recognition. The people in the Liu residence would probably assume that she had died.
Song Xin couldn't guarantee anything. All she could do was this.
She used to have no hope for her life, but now it was different. She wanted to live.
She had a child in her belly, and even if the child had half of that man's blood, it was still her child.
Song Xin had no family despite having family, so this child became her only family, her only solace.
Song Xin ignited a newfound hope within herself. After completing all of this, a considerable amount of time had passed. This was the capital city, and the officials and soldiers were usually quick to respond. However, they must have been delayed by something, so when they arrived, the Liu residence was already in ruins.
The assassins, after killing the Liu family's eldest son, began to retreat and clashed with the arriving soldiers.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Song Xin escaped with some other maids and servants from the Liu residence.
After getting out, she encountered Meng Pei, Meng Yunzheng's foster father.
