Xiao Lingyue turned a deaf ear, hugged the child, and rushed out from the other side of the cave towards the woods.
She has lived in the village at the foot of the mountain for nine months. She often goes to the mountain to collect medicine, and she has already understood the topography of the mountain.
A few hundred meters back from the cave, through the woods, there is a steep cliff.
"Stop for me!"
Zhan Beihan was extremely fast and caught up with him in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Lingyue turned around and saw countless torches dotted like fire dragons sweeping over her.
Very good, the soldiers have followed.
Taking advantage of the dim sky and the advantage of the terrain, Xiao Lingyue passed through the woods smoothly.
There is a cliff ahead, and the wind is howling up.
Seeing the woman's slender back rushing towards the cliff without looking back, Zhan Beihan's expression changed slightly: "Xiao Lingyue, what do you want to do?"
"laugh......"
Xiao Lingyue stopped dangerously on the edge of the cliff. Half of her feet had already stepped on the edge, and the sand and soil fell down the cliff.
"Stand still, take one step closer, and I'll jump down now!"
She had a pale face, her black hair was messy, and she was holding a newborn baby tightly in her arms.
Zhan Beihan stopped and raised his hand to signal.
The soldiers behind them, like wolves and tigers, all stopped and issued orders and prohibitions.
"Do you want to die?" Zhan Bei stared at her coldly.
After nine months of not seeing each other, this woman seemed to have undergone some changes. She had just given birth, half of her body was covered in blood, and her beautiful face was extremely pale.
Xiao Lingyue looked at Zhan Beihan with clear eyes, "Zhan Beihan, whether you believe it or not, I never wanted to plot against you."
Zhan Beihan smiled and disdained to respond.
In his eyes, she was always the shameless, stupid and disgusting Xiao Lingyue.
"I have been poisoned and I don't have much time left. Even if you don't believe me anymore, there is no need for me to continue to lie to you."
Xiao Lingyue's tone was disappointed and she looked down at the child in her arms. A trace of reluctance and helplessness flashed across her eyes.
"No matter how much grievances there are between you and me, the child is innocent after all. He is your own flesh and blood. Before I die, I only ask you for one thing: raise him well and don't let others bully him."
Zhan Beihan frowned slightly, his expression indifferent, "Have you said enough?"
He simply didn't believe that she was poisoned and didn't have much time left. This kind of nonsense was just made up to fool people.
How could a woman as cunning and cunning as her die so easily!
What on earth is she planning?
Zhan Beihan stared at her suspiciously and slowly raised his hand, "Xiao Lingyue, I'm warning you, don't play any tricks, and you'll be captured immediately!"
Elite soldiers slowly approached, holding knives, swords, torches, and even hemp ropes and fishing nets specially used to tie people up.
He was determined to capture her alive!
If it fell into his hands, I'm afraid life would be worse than death, and there would be no hope of keeping the two children safely...
She had to make a painful choice.
A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Lingyue's pale face, "I know you don't believe it."
"But, this time it's true."
She finally hugged the baby in her arms, and with a cruel heart, she suddenly threw the baby towards Zhan Beihan.
The little baby was about to fall to the ground.
Zhan Beihan was shocked. His body instinct was faster than his brain. He swooped forward and caught the child firmly. He was furious: "Xiao Lingyue! What on earth are you..."
Before the roar could subside, Xiao Lingyue, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, smiled faintly and jumped off the cliff without hesitation!
The long black hair floated in the wind, flashed away, and disappeared at the end of the cliff.
She jumped!
Zhan Beihan felt as if he had been struck by lightning for a moment, and his whole body froze on the spot.
As if he felt his mother leaving, the baby in his arms suddenly burst into tears, "Wow wow wow -"
The shrill cries echoed across the mountains.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Lingyue, who was covered in scars, staggered out of the forest while holding another weak baby.
It was already dark, so she stopped and looked back towards the mountains for the last time.
Countless torches were lit in the mountain stream, like lamps, and the location where she "jumped off the cliff" was searched repeatedly, as if looking for her "bones".
Xiao Lingyue was slightly absent-minded, but then she felt relieved.
No one knew she was pregnant with twins.
She "jumped off a cliff and committed suicide" in full view of the public. Before she died, she entrusted her newborn child to Zhan Beihan. There is irrefutable evidence.
From now on, "Xiao Lingyue" is dead.
And she could have changed her identity, taken her child away, and completely ended her relationship with him.
...
Five years later.
On the trail outside the capital city, a low-key carriage was driving slowly.
Not far away, a pair of embarrassed men and women ran out of the woods, staggering and covered in blood.
The woman's hair was disheveled and she struggled to support the man. When she saw the carriage approaching slowly, she hurriedly shouted: "Help! Help us..."
She shouted while running, and accidentally fell to the ground, bringing the man who was supporting her down with her. The wounds all over her body were bleeding profusely.
"Help! Is there anyone, please help us..."
The woman cried desperately and crawled to the ground to help the man.
"Stop." A female voice sounded from inside the car.
The driver pulled the reins and the carriage slowly stopped.
Xiao Lingyue opened the car door and got out of the car. She wore a veil on her face, revealing only a pair of dark and clear eyes.
"Mom, cough..." The little boy's coughing sound came from the carriage.
"Mom, go take a look and come back. It's windy outside, so you stay there and don't come out." Xiao Lingyue warned.
"Okay~" the little boy agreed softly.
Xiao Lingyue closed the car door tightly, walked towards the man and woman, and looked them over: "Who are you? What happened to you?"
The woman raised her head with tears streaming down her face: "I am the third young lady of Nanyang Hou Mansion, and he is my personal bodyguard. We encountered a robber on the way back to Beijing. He was seriously injured to protect me. Please save him, girl!"
"
Nanyang Houfu?
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows, what a coincidence.
Isn't that her cheap stepmother's natal family?
Seeing that the man lying on the ground was seriously injured, he was already unconscious.
Xiao Lingyue knelt down, took the man's wrist and made a diagnosis: "Skin trauma, excessive blood loss."
"You are..." The woman looked at her in surprise.
"I'm the doctor." Xiao Lingyue took out two medicine bottles from the purse at her waist and handed them to her.
"One for external use and one for internal use. He will wake up within a quarter of an hour."
"Thank you! Thank you, girl, that's great!" The woman cried with joy, took the medicine bottle, and hurriedly gave the man medicine.
Xiao Lingyue watched with interest and asked abruptly: "You are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. You were raised in the country since you were a child. Where did you get your personal bodyguard?"
The woman's hands shook and she looked at her in horror, "You... know me?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of it."
If she remembers correctly, the third young lady of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion seemed to have been in poor health since she was a child. She also had an unknown reputation of being responsible for her father and mother. She was raised in the countryside since she was a child and has never returned to the capital.
