When Chu Qianning heard Li Qianmo's words, he was stunned.

What did he say?

Parents...

Not dead?!

Looking at the person in front of him in a daze, Chu Qianning seemed to not even say anything, and looked at him without blinking, with water in his eyes moving.

Seeing this, Li Qianmo couldn't help but hold her hand tightly and whispered, "Ning'er..."

"What did you say just now?" she asked tentatively, not even daring to speak loudly, as if she was afraid of suddenly waking up, and found that it was just a dream, "Say it again."

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law are not dead."

"real?"

"Um."

After receiving Li Qianmo's affirmative answer, Chu Qianning's tears flowed down her face in a flash.

She was crying, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, obviously she was smiling.

Li Qianmo hugged the person in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her silently.

At this moment, it seems that everything is redundant.

and--

Ning'er is still in shock and hasn't reacted yet. When she comes to her senses, she must have blamed him.

After all, he had known that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were still alive, but he chose to hide it all the time.

She wants to blame him...

This is also human nature.

The carriage drove steadily towards the Marquis' Mansion. On the next road, neither of them said anything. Until they returned to Qingfeng Garden, Chu Qianning woke up like a dream, but couldn't help but pull Li Qianmo to confirm again.

"Are they really alive? You didn't lie to me?" The incident happened too suddenly, and she was really unbelievable.

"Of course I won't deceive you with such a thing."

"You're right." Chu Qianning nodded thoughtfully, "I shouldn't be so suspicious."

Gently caressing her hair scattered behind her back, Li Qianmo hugged her and walked down to the imperial concubine's couch by the window, comforting her softly, "Ning'er, I know this is shocked to you. If you want to know, you can ask me directly."

He guessed that she should have a lot of doubts in her heart...

In fact, Chu Qianning does have many questions to ask, but because there are too many, I don’t know how to speak for a while.

Feng Junxi just talked about the fire in the Chu family, which shows that in his heart, his parents had long passed away, but now Li Qianmo swears that his parents are still alive. What's going on?

An idea came to her mind, and she couldn't help but tighten her sleeve and asked, "You saved them?"

"Um."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Looking at Chu Qianning's eyes full of inquiry, Li Qianmo looked away almost embarrassedly.

He did deliberately conceal her, but there were reasons for it.

If I told her now, she would have to worry about it.

But if not...

Seeing that he had not answered for a long time and looked at her with a tangled look, Chu Qianning couldn't help but feel "splied" in her heart, "What's wrong? Did something happen to them?"

"Ning'er, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly."

"……you say."

Things will start from many years ago.

Because Li Qianmo has been "targeting" Chu Qianning since childhood, but he often leaves Jian'an City on the grounds of going out to look for a doctor. If he can't see her, he wants to know her situation at all times, so he sent Mingyou to stay at the Chu family and report her movements to himself.

That day, a fire suddenly broke out in the Chu family.

Mingyou ensured Chu Qianning's safety as soon as possible, but unexpectedly found another wave of troops in the secret protecting her.

He was afraid of alerting the snake, so he did not dare to get close to her too much, so he only secretly confirmed that she was safe and sound.

Watching the fire spread, Mingyou did not dare to move without hesitation.

In the end, the Shangshu Mansion was burned.

Chu Qianning fell into a coma and was taken outside the mansion by a little maid. Rong Jing arrived at the right time and took the man back to the Rong mansion. However, the other servants who went in to save the mansion all returned empty-handed.

even……

Several others were buried in the sea of ​​fire and never came out again.

From the master's wife to the servants, the Chu family had no life except Chu Qianning.

But in fact, after confirming that Chu Qianning was safe and sound, Mingyou sneaked into the rooms of Chu Yizhao and Rong Mengzhu, pushed all the tables and chairs into the inner room, and placed them in the empty outer room to ensure that the fire did not spread so quickly. Not only that, he sprinkled water around, thinking of resisting for a while, at least he could hold out the people in the dark.

Thanks to this move, he bought more time for the couple.

only……

When the people in the dark finally left, Chu Yizhao and Rong Mengzhu were both burned by the fire.

"I have never mentioned this to you before, because my father-in-law was seriously injured and has not yet awakened. My mother-in-law..." At this point, Li Qianmo's voice couldn't help but pause.

"What's wrong with her mother?" Chu Qianning asked after frowning.

"Although my mother-in-law saved her life, her cheeks were burned by fire, and she was in thick smoke for a long time. Her throat was choked and she couldn't speak very easily."

Li Qianmo was very worried that Chu Qianning would blame him for telling her this so late, and she was also afraid that she would blame him for not protecting her parents, but she said nothing.

When she leaned to keep him, there was even a smile on her lips.

"Thank you, my husband..." There are only these four words, no matter how many of them, she didn't say anything.

Thank him for helping her protect her parents, and thank him for telling her this happy good news on such a slightly miserable night.

Although their parents are not in good condition, at least they are still alive.

As long as they are alive, it is good.

"Where are they now? Can I see them?" Chu Qianning looked at Li Qianmo with anticipation.

"...Do you remember what I said before was going to Northern Zhou?"

"Remember."

She looked confused and didn't understand why he suddenly said this.

After pursing his lips slightly, Li Qianmo continued, "That time to go to Northern Zhou was just a cover. I actually wanted to see the situation of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Because he received a message from Li Ran that time, saying that his father-in-law had signs of sobering, he wanted to go and see him in person. If the situation allowed, he would take them back to Jian'an City to reunite with Ning'er.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he received a letter from Eagle Clothing. Although he had arranged everything before leaving, he was too worried, so he rushed back.

"Dad, is he going to do it?" Chu Qian asked with a little excitement.

"Li Ran said that he did see him waking up before, but now..."

As soon as he saw his face showing a difficult look, Chu Qianning's eyes dimmed a little bit, but soon she adjusted her emotions and still raised her lips and smiled at him, "It doesn't matter, life is better than anything else. As long as I and my mother accompany him, my father will get better soon."

"Ning'er can think so, so comfort her husband."

"If my grandmother learned that her mother was still alive, I don't know how to be happy..." When she thought of such a scene, Chu Qianning's eyes couldn't help but be filled with soft light.

"This matter... don't tell my grandmother first..."

After all, my father-in-law and the others are not in Jian'an City at the moment, so it just aroused her concerns when they first said that they knew about her.

Why would you take her to see them directly when you pick them up in the future?

Knowing that Li Qianmo's words were reasonable, Chu Qianning nodded, and never put down the corners of her raised lips. It can be seen how exciting this news should be for her.

"When will I see them?"

"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements as soon as possible." However, there have been many people in the city recently, so you must avoid this time.

Seeing his deep eyes pondering, Chu Qianning held his hand unconsciously, "I am not in a hurry. Safety is the priority in everything. In the past, I only thought it was separated from my parents forever. Now I suddenly heard that they are still alive. I am very grateful to God. Even if I cannot meet now, it doesn't matter."

"Thank you God?" Li Qianmo raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little dissatisfied with what she said.

"Um."

"What does it have to do with God?" Shouldn't you be grateful to him?

He pursed his lips and smiled, Chu Qianning said again, "If it weren't for God, how could I meet a man as good as my husband?"

"According to the husband's opinion, this matter may not be related to God, and it is also for the husband's own contribution."

"Smelling..."

Chu Qianning seemed to have no idea about the topic being taken away by Li Qianmo without any trace.

Or maybe, she felt it, but she didn't point it out.
