Chapter 903 Lian Er? Are you a human or a ghost?
After a long time, the intense movement in the forest gradually stopped.
The woman's clothes had been completely stripped off, and her body was covered with red and purple marks.
The black veil on Mu Li's head had been thrown onto the grass beside her, revealing her face, which had once been arrogant and mean, but now looked thinner and more haggard, but full of hatred.
If Qiao Ran were here, she would definitely recognize him.
Who else could this be but Shui Bailian, who inexplicably targeted him everywhere, even hired someone to kill him, and finally committed suicide by being demoted to a prostitute in the military camp by Jingzhao Prefecture?
Unexpectedly, she survived the humiliation she suffered in the military camp and even used her appearance and figure to charm some of the rough guys in the camp.
And this rough and rude captain Liu Dahu, who risked his own rebellion to bring her out of the barracks, was her most loyal lover.
After being fooled by her, he risked his head to take her out of the military brothel tent and escorted her all the way to the northern border.
Shui Bailian endured the aches and pains all over her body and the urge to vomit, slowly put on her clothes, put on the muli again, and became the cold and arrogant eldest daughter of the Shui family again.
It was late at night, and everyone in the Water Palace had gone to rest after a tiring day.
At the small door in the backyard, two figures sneaked in.
"Who?"
The head of the Shui family, Shui Gaoyang, has been dismissed from his post, but the sharpness he developed in the military camp has not been lost.
The slight noise coming from the yard reached his ears, making him stand up immediately with alertness. He quickly lit the candle on the table and was about to touch the long knife beside the bed.
Mrs. Shui, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by her husband's low shout. She sat up nervously, hugging the quilt, her heart pounding.
Wasn't it enough that the Emperor dismissed my father-in-law and husband from their posts and confiscated their property in the capital, and he also sent people to the northern border to kill them all?
Or maybe the people of Beimo sent spies to assassinate her, thinking that her husband was still a general of the Dingbei Army, and wanted to behead him at night to demonstrate their determination?
As the couple was in fear, a gentle call came from outside the window:
"Daddy, Mommy, it's me, I'm Lian'er!"
The couple looked at each other in horror, and in the dim candlelight they saw the disbelief on each other's faces.
"Lian'er? Are you a human or a ghost? How did you get here?"
Mrs. Shui asked in a trembling voice.
I heard from my son that Lian'er was sent to the Imperial Guard by Jingzhao Prefecture and served as a military prostitute.
How could the Shui family, with two generals in the family, not know what kind of people those rough guys are in the military camp?
Lian'er is just a rich girl who has been spoiled since childhood. I'm afraid she won't be able to endure the torture and will die soon after she goes in.
How was it possible to escape from the military camp alive and travel thousands of miles back to the Northern Frontier?
Could it be that Lian'er's soul was unwilling to give up and went home to visit her relatives?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shui trembled with fear and pulled up the quilt to cover her face.
Even though Shui Gaoyang was used to seeing dead bodies on the battlefield, he still felt a little timid, but he still bravely asked:
"Lian'er, are you... okay?"
In fact, he wanted to ask, girl, are you dead?
But it's hard to ask this question out loud, so I can only be more tactful.
Shui Bailian outside the window had her lips turned white due to the night dew. She was a little annoyed that her parents didn't open the door to let her in when they heard she came back.
Fearing to alarm the servants in the mansion, she could only patiently whisper:
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. A kind brother brought me back. Please open the door. I'm so cold!"
