Chapter 194 Dark under the lamp
"Xiao Bai is in the City Lord's Mansion right now. But he can't hold on any longer! I came to you today to ask you to save him!"
Liu Hongling had originally planned to give up, but she accidentally found out that Shan Li had come to Beishui City.
She knew the relationship between Shan Li and the genius doctor Xiao Wenye, so she took the risk and found Shan Li today.
"I can't contact Xiao Wenye, I want to ask you for help!" Liu Hongling wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Shan Li.
"Sister Hong Ling! You can't do that!"
Liu Hongling was pulled open by the sheet and stopped kneeling.
No wonder, both he and Cui Hao dug the Beishui City thoroughly, but still could not find any trace of Liu Bai.
It turned out that the person was hidden in the City Lord's Mansion by Sister Hong Ling.
The most dangerous places are also the safest places.
Cui Hao probably never dreamed that the person he was determined to find was hiding right under his nose.
Maybe he's still very close.
This is the darkest place under the lamp!
If Sister Hong Ling had done it secretly enough, Cui Hao would probably never find it in his entire life.
Shan Li found a suitable seat for Liu Hongling to sit down, and asked about the Liu family in detail.
He had a hunch that the Liu family's affairs would probably involve more and bigger things.
As the eldest daughter of the Liu family, the lord of Beishui City, Liu Hongling naturally has many considerations when it comes to marriage.
You can't marry into a poor family, because marrying into a poor family will bring disgrace to the city lord's mansion.
But, you can't marry too well.
The City Lord's Mansion is already at the center of controversy. If it were to marry into a noble family, it would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for the Liu family.
The emperor trusts you today, but may not trust you tomorrow.
Therefore, the old city lord chose a trusted son from among his subordinates as Liu Hongling's husband.
That person is the current city lord, Cui Hao.
His father Cui Peng followed the old city lord and served as a deputy general for his entire life.
And he himself is also a small general.
Not only does he look good, he also has a lot of skills.
In an environment like Beishui City, he can be called a young hero.
The Cui family was able to get such an opportunity because Cui Hao took the initiative to fight for it.
Liu Hongling was the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion and the first female general of Dachen. When she married Cui Hao, she was indeed marrying down.
Therefore, Liu Hongling has been living a good life after getting married.
Her family is very supportive, and she is also a person who can stand on her own feet. Her husband's family is also very respectful to her. They dare not say anything bad about her.
Even after being married for many years without having children, her husband's family never said a word against her.
Whenever outsiders gossiped about others, Cui Hao would attribute the cause of the matter to himself in front of them.
He said that he didn't want to have children too early, and would only consider having children after the border situation is stable.
He wants his children to live in a safe and happy environment.
His words not only reassured the Liu family, but also won everyone's approval.
Even Liu Hongling herself was moved by Cui Hao's remarks.
Because she had been childless for many years, she once secretly went to see a doctor.
After taking her pulse, the doctor told her that her body was injured because of the martial arts training and fighting in battles in her early years.
It is destined to be difficult to have children in this life.
Liu Hongling felt that she was guilty of the Cui family, so she took the initiative to take a concubine for Cui Hao.
But she never imagined that her life would change drastically shortly after this concubine came into the family.
