Chapter 566: 288: Deter Mrs. Ashimo!_2

So, for her, Rou Ran City was truly like a pit of hellfire.

She desperately wanted to escape, but she had no relatives to turn to and could find no hope.

That’s why, just now when Suo Lun said he would take her away, her eyes instantly lit up, but she could not bear to leave the child she brought up, Xiaobao.

Although Xiaobao was the son of Li Zhi, Niya had raised him from birth, and her love for him was no different from that of a birth mother’s; she naturally couldn’t leave the child behind.

When Suo Lun said he would take both her and the child away, of course, it made her happy. However, the power of Li Zhi and A Shi Zhuo was so terrifying that she felt it was utterly impossible to escape and that she might even endanger Suo Lun.

This was a very tender and kind woman.

"As long as you’re willing, I will take you and your child away, tonight," Suo Lun said.

Niya lifted her beautiful eyes and timidly looked at Suo Lun for a long time, then in a gentle voice she said, "My lord... may, may I ask your name?"

Suo Lun fell silent and pondered for a few seconds.

"It’s fine, my lord. If it’s inconvenient to say, then don’t," Niya said softly and uneasily.

"My name is Suo Lun," Suo Lun said quietly.

Instantly, Niya’s beautiful eyes widened, staring at Suo Lun in disbelief.

"You’ve heard this name before?" Suo Lun asked.

Niya nodded.

This name had recently become too famous; the paramour of the City Lord Ashi Liren was already known throughout Rouran City.

Upon hearing this name, Niya suddenly felt inferior. She moved away from Suo Lun’s embrace, bowed her head, and showed no blame.

She was very gentle and kind, but she was not foolish; she knew that Suo Lun’s target was her son, Xiaobao.

"Then, what do you plan to do with Xiaobao?" Niya’s protective instincts for her foster son immediately overcame her infatuation with Suo Lun.

Suo Lun said, "I plan to send you and Xiaobao to Tianshui City, where you will be his mother, and I’ll have the best teachers instruct him in literature and martial arts. When he grows up, he can stay in Tianshui City to assist me, or come back to Rou Ran City to help Ashi Yuanba."

Niya said, "You...you won’t use him as a hostage to force Lady Li Zhi to do something, right?"

Suo Lun said, "The only thing I want to do is to make sure that you and Xiaobao completely disappear from Rouran City’s view, making sure nobody knows where you have gone. It’s like that now, and it will be the same in the future."

Niya looked up at Suo Lun and nodded, saying, "Alright, I’ll go with you and Xiaobao."

...

That night.

The experts of the Gao Faction’s Shadow Cabinet killed all the watchers who were monitoring and protecting Niya and Xiaobao, then vanished into the night with mother and son within Rouran City.

After making certain Niya and Xiaobao had left Rouran City, it was already the middle of the night.

Once again, Suo Lun came to the small grove near the City Lord’s mansion to wait.

A moment later, another beautiful and delicate young woman entered the grove and her gaze was incredibly complicated when she saw Suo Lun.

"You, you were supposed to have left, why have you come back?" she whispered, bowing her head, and not daring to look at Suo Lun.

And this young woman was none other than Taosu, Ashi Luo’s first love, Ashimo’s concubine, and Yuanba’s birth mother.

Of course, because of an incident involving a pink flame she also had an unforgettable few hours with Suo Lun.

Suo Lun looked at the unfortunate woman before him, who still had a modest demeanor, her lovely face showing extreme vulnerability, even submissiveness.

How similar she was to Niya.

In fact, she was not as brave as Niya, who had the courage to escape from the hell she was trapped in.

"Do you miss Yuanba?" Suo Lun asked.

Taosu lowered her head and said, "I am a woman of ill-omen, unworthy of seeing him."

Suo Lun asked, "But do you miss him?"

"I do..." Taosu said.

Suo Lun said, "Now, someone wants to kill him."

Suddenly, Taosu’s complexion changed.

Suo Lun said, "A Shi Zhuo and Li Zhi have an unspeakable relationship, right?"

Taosu’s cheeks turned red and she nodded.

Suo Lun said, "Now A Shi Zhuo wants to harm Ashi Liren and Yuanba, and Lady Li Zhi might become an accomplice. I need your help."

Taosu asked, "What can I do?"

Suo Lun asked, "Is A Shi Zhuo in the City Lord’s mansion now?"

Taosu shook her head and said, "No, he’s not here."

Suo Lun said, "I need to meet Lady Li Zhi in private and in secret."

Taosu thought for a moment and said, "Then, then you may need to disguise yourself as a woman."

No sooner had she finished speaking, Suo Lun immediately pulled out a set of women’s clothing, removed his own garments, and put on the female attire.

Then, with Taosu’s help, he tied his hair up in the dark into a woman’s bun.

"Come into my room with me, I will do your makeup," Taosu said.

Disguised as a woman, Suo Lun followed Taosu into the City Lord’s mansion, sneaking in through a side door. Taosu handed two Gold Coins to the guard.

The samurai guard acted as if he saw nothing.

For years, the Rouran City Lord’s mansion had been without a master, and discipline had completely broken down.

...

After entering Taosu’s room.

Under the lamplight, Suo Lun washed off the rough makeup on his face, revealing his true features.

Taosu was stunned and said, "You, you don’t even need makeup to be prettier than a woman."

She had never seen a man dressed as a woman who turned out to be even more beautiful than a woman, albeit a little tall.

However, Taosu still did some simple makeup for Suo Lun and then, speechlessly, she found that after the makeup, the Suo Lun before her was indeed more beautiful than she was.

Taosu was also a very rare beauty; otherwise, Ashimo would not have been so singularly infatuated with her back in the day.
