After Mo Changqing stepped out of Yun Yimo's room, he paused for a moment at the garden entrance before turning and walking into Liu Yan's courtyard.
Liu Yan lay quietly on the bed, still in a coma. Mo Changqing gazed at her, and for a fleeting moment, it felt as if Luo'er had returned to him.
"When she wakes up, you must dismiss her." A calm yet disdainful voice came from behind him—Old Lady Mo.
Mo Changqing quickly turned and bowed. "Mother."
He glanced back at Liu Yan and pleaded softly, "She... also had a miscarriage. It was all my fault, and she was brought into my home by Upright. How can I just dismiss her like that..."
"Upright? Would a good family's daughter lose her virtue before marriage? Changqing, if you want to keep a Courtesan of the Pleasure House, that's your choice, but why marry her and bring trouble to the princess? Tomorrow, send her away. Our Mo Family is a prominent household in Qi Yang; how can we tolerate a fallen woman as the mistress?"
"Mother!" Mo Changqing's face flushed red as he hurriedly defended himself. "She is not a prostitute; she... she is Miss Liu from the Liu Family..."
Madam Mo's expression froze instantly. "Liu Luo?!"
Mo Changqing bit his lip and nodded.
Unexpectedly, Madam Mo's body stiffened, and she exclaimed repeatedly, "Karma! You foolish child! The Liu Family was clearly reported by your father and was executed by the emperor! You... you will drive me to my grave!"
Mo Changqing suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with horror. The Liu Family had indeed perished because of the Mo Family! The one who caused Luo'er's death was his own father! He staggered back a step, feeling a surge of blood rise in his throat, his body swaying as he nearly lost his balance.
With my blood, I offer my true heart.
In the distance, the sound of drums and gongs echoed. Liu Yan hurriedly opened her eyes, understanding that Mo Changqing had returned. If only she could tell him that Yun Yimo was a spy and that the emperor wanted to destroy the Mo Family—if only she could tell him…
She suddenly pushed aside the man and woman in front of her and ran desperately toward a courtyard in the distance.
The man was startled and was about to throw a concealed weapon, but was stopped by Yun Yimo: "Let me handle this." Saying that, he punched himself in the abdomen.
Liu Yan ran toward the densely packed crowd, where a convoy returning from the border was parked, stretching out for quite a distance. She quickly recognized the figure standing among the people, as upright and beautiful as jade.
Liu Yan scrambled to Mo Changqing's side, gripping his sleeve tightly. Mo Changqing had just returned; although there had been some minor issues during the grain transport, overall it had gone smoothly.
He was about to unload the cart and go rest when he was suddenly yanked by his sleeve. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he saw Liu Yan's bloodied face and froze instantly. "You... what happened?"
"Um... um..." Liu Yan covered her throat with her hand, unable to utter a word. A small pool of bright red blood stained her fingers, and she hurriedly tore off a piece of her sleeve to write with.
Suddenly, a cry rang out from behind: "Help! The lady has had a miscarriage!"
Mo Changqing was jolted and quickly pushed Liu Yan aside, running toward the chaotic crowd in the direction she had just come from.
Yun Yimo lay pale in a pool of blood, her body soaked in dark red.
Her personal maid gritted her teeth and pointed at Liu Yan's direction: "It's this woman! She pushed the lady!"
Mo Changqing's eyes filled with hatred as they shot toward Liu Yan, causing her heart to ache painfully.
She watched as Mo Changqing walked toward her step by step, grabbing her collar and flinging her to the ground. "Poisonous woman! If anything happens to Yimo, I will make you pay!"
Liu Yan lost her balance and was forcefully thrown aside, her body crashing heavily against the nearby cart filled with grain, striking her lower back. A sharp pain surged through her abdomen, and a warm flow trickled down her legs, filling her vision with crimson. Suddenly, everything went dark…
In the midst of the chaos, after the servants carried Mo Changqing away, the woman who had been sleeping on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
