Xu Zhiyuan was only halfway through what she said when she was interrupted by her sister. She originally wanted to say that Bai Changqing was suddenly favored by the emperor. This was not a big or small news and should be passed back for reference. This is one of their important tasks in the White House.
But after seeing the expression on her sister Xu Zhidi's face, Xu Zhiyuan's heart trembled, and she secretly thought that this was the case again. She found that her sister's mood was very abnormal recently, especially after giving birth to a child.
Putting down the pen in her hand, Xu Zhiyuan came close to her sister, grabbed her arm, and whispered: "You know our identities, there are some things that must be done, otherwise not only the two of us will end up in a worrying situation, but also our two families." The lives of those relatives outside are also at risk! Don’t lose your head!"
"But, I don't want anything to happen to my husband!"
Xu Zhiyuan sighed after hearing this. How could she hope that something would happen to her husband? Although they had no choice at the beginning, they were really moved by Bai Changqing's love later. Now they are Bai Changqing's body and mind. Who doesn't want a stable family? But again, who said they had no choice?
"Sister, my husband is going through all kinds of obstacles in the officialdom, and he has overcome all kinds of storms. Moreover, he is on His Majesty's side now, and belongs to the same boat as that gentleman. We are just choosing some things that will not affect my husband to send back. That’s all, to stabilize that master and protect our family.”
"That lord", both sisters knew who these four words meant, but they didn't dare to call him by his name. Not even behind my back.
Xu Zhidi bit her lip, took a deep breath and said, "Sister, since you mentioned that adult, let's talk about it openly today. Do you really think that adult will give us a good result?"
"...What do you mean?"
"That's the literal meaning. Sister, I don't know how you feel. Anyway, I still remember the look of that adult, especially the way he smiled. He looked very much like a wolf, as if watching a dying struggle. His prey-like smile...I would dream about him from time to time, dreaming about him holding me and standing on a platform, with my husband's body in front of me..."
"Shut up!" Xu Zhiyuan's chest heaved violently, her face turned pale, and her eyes flashed with fear. She didn't say that she had also had the dream Xu Zhidi mentioned. Even more than once. So when Xu Zhidi said this, she immediately aroused her sympathy and made her tremble all over. The adult's smile also made her whole body shiver like a nightmare.
Seeing that her sister was not emotionally stable, Xu Zhidi wanted to strike while the iron was hot. She hoped to speak out her thoughts and get her sister's approval, so that the two sisters could work together to find a way to resolve the situation.
"Sister, you know what the reputation of that adult is outside. Although he has a good reputation, he is also extremely vicious and murderous. He has no mercy for people like us. We have to think of our own way out! "
Xu Zhiyuan sighed. She finally saw that her sister had probably had this idea for a long time, but she never said it out loud. Now she had to admit that she was really afraid of that adult, and at the same time she really didn't want to give up her current life and family.
"A retreat? What retreat can we have?"
"Sister, how many spies do you think there are like us?" Without waiting for Xu Zhiyuan to answer, Xu Zhidi continued: "There must be many more! The one named Zhu in the tooth shop, and the one named Wang behind him, they were obviously In paving the way for that adult, we are just one of the many spies who need to be placed around some important people.
Who would suffer the most if we were exposed? "
When Xu Zhiyuan heard this, she stood up from her chair in fright, stared at her sister with a horrified look on her face, and said in disbelief: "You, you want to hold them hostage?!"
To be honest, Xu Zhiyuan was frightened by her sister. They would actually come up with the idea of using the confidentiality of their identity to fight to the death. In this case, the two of them would only have one life, and the adult would obviously have suffered a great loss.
At first glance, this seems to be a solution, but Xu Zhiyuan understands that this is definitely not a good solution. Rather than asking that adult to surrender, their sisters, their real family members, and even the entire White House may die without a burial place!
"Sister, are you scared? I just want to negotiate terms with them!" Xu Zhidi is actually scared. From her deliberately suppressed voice and off-key tone, as well as her clenched fists and trembling body, it can be seen that she The fear in my heart is no less than that of my sister Xu Zhiyuan. But what she wants more is to change her destiny and get rid of her constraints.
Faced with a husband who loved her deeply but secretly betrayed her every move behind her back, Xu Zhidi was almost overwhelmed by the self-blame and guilt of this betrayal. She urgently needed to change this situation. And the only solution she could think of was "the fish will die and the net will break".
"No! You are leading the whole family into a pit of fire! Have you ever thought about it, as long as you dare to express this idea to them, even if it is a little bit of your idea and they know it, do you know what they will do? With that person He will never talk to you about your temper! He will only let us, all of us, die silently!
You forgot this idea! I don’t want my whole family to die with you! "
Also suppressing her voice, Xu Zhiyuan's emotions were completely unbearable at this time. She grabbed her sister's arms tightly with some hysteria, her eyes were like daggers, and she warned her to give up her unrealistic fantasies word by word. . She also has her own insistence, that is, she cannot take risks with her family, let alone gamble with her family's lives!
"Then what should I do?! I, I don't want to go on like this..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and Xu Zhidi sobbed softly. She understood the danger her sister said, but she really couldn't think of any other way.
Seeing her sister crying, Xu Zhiyuan quickly hugged her and wiped her tears with her sleeves to prevent others from noticing. She comforted her and said, "You can't rush it. This matter is related to the life and death of our whole family, so we can't rush it." .”
"Then what should we do?" After hearing her sister comforting herself, Xu Zhidi seemed to understand that her sister was on her side, stopped crying, and hurriedly asked for a solution. Her sister has always been smarter than her, so she will definitely be able to deal with it this time.
"Depend on your husband."
"Sister, I don't understand."
"My husband is highly valued now. If we can reach new heights in the future, we will naturally be able to rise higher. By then, we may have some room to maneuver by leveraging my husband's influence."
"Husband?"
