Chapter 114: Entering the Palace Again

The more Kong Rui interacted with these families, the more she realized that although they looked glamorous on the surface, they were actually shady and nefarious!

“Then what do you plan to arrange for Tong Sheng?” Kong Rui was concerned about Tong Sheng’s future life.

After all, Tong Sheng was a child that they had saved with great difficulty. If he was really snatched away by the family and separated from his mother, wouldn’t it be a waste of their efforts?

“I want to leave with Tong Sheng.” Su Niang’s eyes flickered with determination.

That gaze made Kong Rui’s heart tighten.

“Do you have a place to go?” Kong Rui asked again.

Su Niang hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “I’m not from the Imperial Capital. I got separated from my family when I moved. Later on, I was saved by the family head and followed him for all these years. I really want to find my family, but I don’t know where they’ve gone now.”

As Kong Rui listened to Su Niang’s helpless complaint, she knew that even if she wanted to leave, she probably wouldn’t be able to leave that so-called wealthy family. Moreover, she had a young son who needed to be taken care of.

“Do you still remember where you got separated from your family? Where are you going? Perhaps I can help you,” Kong Rui said softly.

Su Niang blinked at Kong Rui, her eyes filled with hope. “Really? Can you really help me find my family?”

Seeing that Su Niang was so excited, Kong Rui didn’t want to get her hopes up, only to be disappointed in the end, so she said, “I can help you find them, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely find them.”

“I’m already very grateful that you’re willing to help me!” Su Niang stood up and bowed to Kong Rui again.

Kong Rui immediately helped Su Niang up. “It will probably take some time to find your family.”

“Let Tong Sheng hide with me for a while.” Kong Rui wasn’t sure if it was safe for Tong Sheng to stay by her side, but in the current situation, it was safer than staying by Su Niang’s side.

Kong Rui instructed the procuress to arrange a room in the backyard for Su Niang.

Firstly, it would be easy for Tong Sheng and his mother to stay together. Secondly, it would be convenient for her to ask Su Niang questions.

When the procuress heard that they were going to arrange for Su Niang to stay in the backyard, she looked troubled.

When Kong Rui saw the procuress’ expression, she knew that the procuress must know something.

“Don’t worry, just make the arrangements. If anything happens, I’ll take care of it!” Kong Rui said when she saw her nervous expression.

The procuress was still hesitant until Chao Bai walked out of the inner room and said coldly to her, “Just do what she told you to do! Why are you dilly-dallying?!”

When the procuress heard Chao Bai’s words, she seemed to be frightened and immediately ran to prepare the room.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Chao Bai. “She seems to be very afraid of you.”

Chao Bai shrugged nonchalantly. “She was just hung from the beam for a while, but she’s already so frightened. How useless!”

Kong Rui didn’t ask how Chao Bai had obtained Fragrant Garden in detail, but from his words, it sounded like exciting things had happened!

Kong Rui planned to listen to Chao Bai talk about the process in detail when she had time in the future. She still had important things to do now.

After they left, the Li family must have discovered that there was something wrong with Li Ling.

Now that something had happened to the Princess and Li Ling had disappeared from the palace, Li Ling would definitely be blamed.

Now that Kong Rui had already changed back to her body, why not let Li Ling bear all the responsibility?!

After Kong Rui swapped bodies with Li Ling earlier, Li Ling’s soul had already been reduced to ashes, so this body had naturally become a corpse.

Now, she had to think of a way to “revive” this corpse to let Li Ling bear all the responsibility.

How could she revive Li Ling?
