After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 386 One Last Chance

Liu Ruyi swallowed the pain in her heart and said slowly: "I would like to ask the princess to give Chong'er another chance."

She kowtowed and almost prostrated herself on the ground in humility.

"Give him another chance?" Princess He Yong sneered, "Liu, you promised me before that if he can't pass the test, he will have to accept the fate. Do you still remember this?"

Liu Ruyi was filled with bitterness, but couldn't say a word.

She had begged in every possible way, humbled herself to the dust, and tried every possible means to finally get a bet from the princess.

It's a pity that Chong'er was too disappointing and wasted this opportunity.

Since they, mother and son, could not survive this disaster, it was not others' fault, so she had nothing to say.

But seeing Chong'er so crazy and in so much pain, she still couldn't bear it and wanted to fight for him again with her last effort.

Ultimately, it was her fault.

If she had not married into the Deng family, there wouldn't have been so many bad relationships that followed. She is the root of all the trouble.

Liu Ruyi had no way to defend herself and could only kowtow continuously, even bruising her forehead.

Liu Ruyi was as crazy as her son. Fearing that she would die in her own house, Princess He Yong ordered people to hang her up to prevent her from having any chance to commit suicide.

She looked at Liu's dejected face. The docile woman of the past had disappeared. She was now like a mad woman, with no dignity at all.

"Liu, since you are devoted to your son, I will give you one last chance. Wan'er has grown up now and she has her own ideas. Even if I am strong, I cannot make decisions for her. If you can gain her forgiveness, I will naturally not interfere."

Liu Ruyi's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Why don't you get out of here?" Princess He Yong was obviously a little impatient. "If this doesn't work out, don't show up in front of me and Wan'er again. Do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly, thank you, Princess!"

Liu Ruyi didn't bother to tidy herself up and stumbled out the door.

The maid looked at the door worriedly, then looked at her master, "Master, aren't you afraid..."

"I raised Wan'er by myself, and I know her temper best." Princess He Yong rubbed her sore legs, "If Deng Chong hadn't gone to have sex with her, Wan'er might have forgiven him, but now he is a bad man. Even if she had deep feelings for him back then, she won't forgive him now. In this matter, she is just like her mother."

When mentioning his eldest daughter, Princess Yong's face suddenly became fierce.

The Deng family is such a disaster. Not only did they cause her eldest daughter to have a difficult delivery, but they also made her Wan'er suffer so much. They should all be cut into pieces!

After this happened, Wan'er would probably not compromise easily again, and she couldn't go against her child's wishes and force her to get married.

Fortunately, she had made preparations. When this storm passed, she would send Wan'er away. The sky was high and the land was vast, allowing her to live freely outside, but she must never come back here again.

The nanny said nothing and squatted down to massage her master's legs.

In fact, if the person sent by the master had not deliberately guided him, Deng Chong might not have become like that.

He and the young lady are not destined to be together, but it's a pity for the young lady and her master.

……

Liu Ruyi didn't know where to find her son.

She walked aimlessly on the street, asking everyone she met where Deng Chong was.

Now Deng Chong has become a joke among the people, and even Master Deng and Liu Ruyi are also being criticized.

"Madam, I know where Master Deng is."

Liu Ruyi slowly turned her head and found a smiling man standing next to her.

She didn't have time to think about whether what the man said was true, so she hurriedly pulled him, "Then take me there!"

The man curled his lips maliciously, supported her and walked towards the alley not far away.

An San had followed Liu Ruyi for a long time. When he saw a strange man approaching, he immediately appeared and kicked the man.

"How dare you, you bastard, lie to me? Do you think your life is too long?!"

The man staggered after being kicked by him, and when he regained his balance, he started to curse: "Why would you, a little bastard, mind my business?"

"So what if I'm in charge?" An San kicked him again, "You can be filthy, but I can't punish evildoers?!"

The man was originally a thug. When he met someone more ferocious than him, his momentum immediately weakened. However, he still said stubbornly, "Just wait for me. I will not let you have an easy time!"

"Bah, you shameless thing, kicking you is just dirtying my feet. If it weren't for my master's words, I would really beat people like you to death to prevent you from harming the world!"

After An San finished cursing, he turned around and looked at the woman with a wary look on her face.

Although Liu Ruyi looked a little crazy, she had not lost her mind. She understood the conversation between the two of them just now and felt scared.

Just now she was so eager to find her son that she didn't notice the man's plan.

She tightly grasped a stone, pressed her whole body against the wall, and stared at the man opposite her with her eyes under her disheveled hair.

"Don't come over here, I will fight you to the death!"

An San stepped back a little, trying his best to make his voice sound less ferocious.

"I can let you go, but can you please stop focusing on finding your son and at least consider your own safety?"

Liu Ruyi's guarded expression did not relax at all. She stared at the man and slowly moved outward against the wall.

An San had no intention of blocking the way. Liu Ruyi moved to a place not far from the alley entrance, seized the opportunity, threw the stone back, and ran away.

An San dodged the flying stone by moving sideways and followed closely.

He received an order to supervise and investigate the matter, so he had to treat it with caution.

Although Liu Ruyi was frightened, she was still thinking about her son.

Deng Chong had not returned to the Deng Mansion for several days, and Boss Deng was also out on business and not at home. Liu Ruyi brought some more people with her and planned to go to Yunfeng Mountain to look for him.

Deng Chong sat on a small path leading up the mountain. People around him thought he was a crazy beggar and either beat or scolded him or avoided him from a distance.

As soon as Liu Ruyi reached the mountain, she saw her son kneeling in a pile of grass by the roadside. She took two or three steps forward and hugged him with heartache.

Ever since he got the news about her, Deng Chong has been running around outside all day. The white robe he wore at first is now dirty and filthy, and he looks extremely shabby.

He buried his head helplessly in his mother's arms, sobbing softly, "Mom, people say she is still alive. I have been looking for her in the mountains for so long, why can't I find her? Does she not want to see me?"

Liu Ruyi gently stroked her son's head and said softly, "No, she must not know that you are here yet. Mother will go with you to find her."
