Xie Wan Ning nodded in agreement, "Brother is right!"

If Lu Ziyan hadn't been so murderous and always wanted to take Pei Yuqing's life, she wouldn't have planned to escape.

Xie Wan Ning is still haunted by what happened on the boat that night.

The thieves broke into the house, hacked him to death with a knife, then jumped into the lake, grabbed the chain and climbed into the next room.

If she had not reacted quickly enough and had not grabbed the chain when jumping into the lake, or if the thief had looked down more carefully.

If any one of these steps had gone wrong, she would have really been dead in Dayang Lake.

And the culprit of all this is Lu Ziyan.

He said he didn't mind her marrying someone else and that he only wanted her no matter what.

She had even accepted her fate and planned to live a good life with him, despite the great condemnation of the world.

But he was still upset about her marriage to Pei Yuqing.

Such a bloodthirsty person, no matter how much he regrets his actions now, it is all his own fault!

Xie Wan Ning gritted her teeth and followed her brother in scolding Lu Ziyan who was far away in Xiangzhou for a long time.

Finally, the first person to stop was Xie Yanyu.

He clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed softly, saying, "You don't want to go back to Beijing, so what are your plans?"

"Just stay in Bianzhou," Xie Wan Ning touched her belly and said with a smile, "I have money and a son, I have servants to serve me, and no elders to supervise me. Life is so comfortable."

That heartless look made Xie Yanyu feel itchy.

He reached out and pinched his sister's face, ignoring her angry look, and said coldly: "You are relieved, but have you ever thought about your old mother in the capital who cries day and night?"

Xie Wan Ning's expression froze and he stopped talking.

In fact, she was not at ease at all.

I just said this on purpose to avoid making my brother worry and distressed. Xie Yanyu pondered for a few breaths and said, "You are safe and sound, and we must not hide it from our parents."

"Okay," Xie Wan Ning agreed promptly.

She really couldn't bear to let her parents go through the pain of seeing their loved ones die again.

In her previous life, she insisted on marrying Lu Ziyan, but was dragged into the fight for the throne and was poisoned to death, which made her parents sad and was very unfilial.

this life……

"It's just that," Xie Wan Ning pulled at her brother's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I really don't want to go back to Beijing anymore, okay?"

Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and nodded slowly, "Okay."

His sister is already grown up and can make her own decisions. As an older brother, he shouldn't interfere too much.

Besides, the capital city was in a bloody storm caused by the God of Death, and undercurrents were surging. With her status, she really shouldn't set foot there now.

What if someone sets his sights on her again...

Xie Yanyu said: "Since you want to hide from Lu Ziyan, I will appease your parents and prevent them from revealing any clues."

My daughter is gone, and I’ve been crying every day. It’s impossible for me to return to normal overnight.

Xie Wan Ning was waiting for these words. She held her cheek and smiled at her brother, "Brother, you are so nice."

In past and present lives, she has always protected her brother.

Xie Yanyu glanced at her unhappily, then looked at her belly, "...When is the due date?"

Xie Wan Ning said: "September."

"I will stay in Bianzhou and wait for the baby to be born," Xie Yanyu immediately decided, and then asked: "Have you hired a midwife? Is there a doctor in the mansion? By the way, where are you living now?"

Her brother was aloof and old-fashioned, rarely speaking at length. Xie Wan Ning blinked as she listened and answered honestly, "We haven't hired a midwife yet, nor do we have a doctor. We live quite far from here, in the west of the city." (End of this chapter)
