When Madame Lee returned to her room, she found Qu Mio nervously waiting for her. "Mother, what did father say? Was it one of our family's enemies?"
Madame Lee's face turned ugly as if she were in a trance. She lifted her head and stared blankly at Qu Miao for a while before grinning sinisterly. Her hand brushed over Qu Miao's hair, "Miao'er. Your father… Your father wants us to hide at your maternal grandmother's place. Once the situation passes, he'll let us come back."
"Oh?" Qu Miao was momentarily stunned before asking anxiously, "Did he tell you who wanted to do away with us?"
Madame Lee shook her head, "Your father doesn't know either. Go pack your belongings secretly. Don't let the others find out in case they discover that we are leaving!"
"Then, when will we return?" Qu Miao was still thinking about Ji Yuxian and wasn't so keen on leaving Jingzhou.
"I'm not sure, just go!" Madame Lee pushed Qu Miao's shoulders gently.
