Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2000: Meeting Liu Xiuyun Again

"How is this possible?" Chen Changli refuted instantly. Giving birth to a child in a coffin was really horrifying. However, looking at Wan Shufang's serious expression, he finally did not deny it: "I will check this matter, Shufang, don't worry too much."

Wan Shufang nodded, her expression relaxed, her eyes moved, and she said, "Let's go back to the inn first. We can't rush this matter, we need to plan it carefully."

After that, the two of them started walking again and headed towards the inn. After returning to the inn, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang discussed it and immediately decided to go find the Taoist priest first.

Wan Shufang had a hunch that the Taoist priest in yellow robe must know something.

After much trouble, the two finally found the Taoist priest who was drinking in the teahouse. When he saw Wan Shufang, the Taoist priest raised his eyebrows, and his mouth opened and closed, with alcohol gushing out.

"Hey, isn't this the Duke's wife? Are you here to drink too?"

The teahouse was noisy, and Wan Shufang didn't hear clearly what he said, but she smelled the alcohol and frowned subconsciously. She took a step forward and said calmly: "I have been looking for you for a long time. I wonder if you still believe what you said about telling my fortune?"

"You want me to tell your fortune?" The Taoist raised his eyebrows, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Don't you not believe me? Why bother to ask me to tell your fortune?"

"At that time, I was just worried that the Taoist priest... was a swindler. Now, I think that he is capable and I want to give it a try." Wan Shufang said all the nice things against her conscience, but the Taoist priest just sneered and ignored her.

Seeing that he ignored Wan Shufang, Chen Changli frowned. The next second, he took out a short knife and put it against the man's neck. His deep voice was extremely cold: "Come with us out."

Feeling the coolness on his neck, the Taoist pursed his lips, said nothing, stood up and followed Chen Changli and Wan Shufang out of the teahouse.

After they left the teahouse and reached a forest, where there was no one around, Chen Changli asked, "We already know what happened to the Liu family. Tell me, why are you playing tricks on me?"

There were several towering tombs not far away. The Taoist priest was being held hostage, his head was dazed, and he did not react for a while that this was a mass grave.

He looked at Chen Changli and chuckled, "My Lord, I have nothing to say about this matter."

"You!" Chen Changli was furious and brought the dagger closer. Blood was oozing out of his neck and the Taoist's expression became solemn.

But he still said nothing...

"If you don't want to tell me, then there's no point in keeping it."

Chen Changli threatened, his eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of danger, but the Taoist just smiled indifferently.

"My Lord Duke, I won't tell anything even if you kill me." He looked nonchalant, and Chen Changli was so angry that he wanted to stab him with the dagger.

When the situation was tense, a white figure suddenly walked out from the depths of the woods.

"Stop." A gentle voice sounded, interrupting the confrontation between Chen Changli and the Taoist priest. A woman in white, with gentle eyes and a child in her arms, slowly approached.

She put the child down in her arms, knelt on the ground, and looked at him pleadingly: "My lord, my lady, please let him go."

"Liu Xiuyun." Wan Shufang called softly. The woman paused but did not refute. She knew that her guess was right and recognized that this was the woman she had seen in the mass grave.

"I can let him go, but tell me, why do you want to pretend to be a ghost and deceive people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changli took away the dagger from the Taoist's neck. The Taoist immediately ran to Liu Xiuyun and carefully picked up the child.

"Ma'am, I'm not afraid of death, you don't ask them!"

"That's enough. I have caused you so much trouble over the years, my lord, my lady. I also have my own difficulties. The Qin family not only cheated me of my money, but also wanted to kill me. I am unwilling to accept this. What's wrong with wanting revenge?"

Liu Xiuyun's eyes were filled with hatred. She raised her head and gritted her teeth and said, "I just hate the Qin family!"

As she spoke, she looked at the Taoist priest and the child, and her hatred was gradually replaced by tenderness and guilt.

"But he shouldn't have suffered for me. Back then, I just took him in and gave him a couple of meals, but he did this for me..."

"Madam, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death. It was because you took me into the Qin Mansion to work as a groom that I was able to survive."

The two of them kept refusing each other, one feeling guilty, the other grateful. From these conversations, Wan Shufang roughly pieced together the cause and effect of the matter.

Back then, Liu Xiuyun accidentally saved a Taoist priest who was still a beggar, took him in, and made him a groom in the Qin mansion, giving him a place to stay.

Later, the Qin family killed Liu Xiuyun. The groom was loyal and righteous, so he cut off his own fingers and disguised himself as a Taoist priest to help Liu Xiuyun take revenge.

At this moment, recalling the past, Liu Xiuyun had already burst into tears. Looking at the two of them, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were somewhat moved. At this moment, the child in the Taoist's arms burst into tears.

Liu Xiuyun quickly took the child and coaxed him softly.

"Dear baby, don't cry, mommy is here." She rocked the child gently. The crying sound in this desolate wilderness made people feel a little scared for no reason.

"Liu Xiuyun, have you been living in a coffin with your child these days?" Wan Shufang asked, and Liu Xiuyun nodded slightly.

"I don't have any money, and the Qin family didn't give me any burial objects when they buried me, so I can't stay at an inn."

"No wonder there are always people saying there are babies crying in the mass graves..." Wan Shufang murmured. Today, all the mysteries are almost solved.

She glanced at Chen Changli and decided to take Liu Xiuyun back to the inn first.

"Changli, let's take her back first. There are other things we need to investigate."

"Yeah, okay." Chen Changli responded indifferently and took Wan Shufang's hand, while Liu Xiuyun and the others followed behind and brought the two back to the inn.

Chen Changli found a waiter and opened two more rooms for Liu Xiuyun and the Taoist priest to stay in. After settling them in and letting them rest for a while, Wan Shufang went out to buy some daily necessities for Liu Xiuyun.

When the things were delivered to her room, Liu Xiuyun's eyes were filled with tears and her face was full of gratitude. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wan Shufang: "Thank you Madam for your care. Xiuyun really has no way to repay you..."

"What are you doing? You're holding the child. Get up quickly." Wan Shufang helped the girl up. Seeing her wiping tears, she coughed and said, "It's not expensive. Just use it and think of it as something you bought for your child."

"Thank you ma'am."

As soon as Liu Xiuyun finished speaking, there was a sudden clanging sound at the door. Then, Yunxiang stumbled in and hugged Liu Xiuyun.

"Child, Yunxiang, crush the child..."

Hearing Liu Xiuyun's shout, Yunxiang finally reacted and quickly stepped back. Liu Xiuyun put the child on the bed and then looked at Yunxiang who was still crying.

"Yunxiang, you have suffered."

"Madam! Yunxiang finally sees you!" Yunxiang couldn't help herself and hugged Liu Xiuyun tightly again. The master and servant hugged each other, sobbing and talking.
