Her answer was always so simple, without a single word, which made Xia Han feel disappointed. She quickly cheered up. It was no longer valuable to Xie Tianyao be able to talk to her calmly, so naturally she shouldn't have any more requests?

"Today is your birthday. If you have any gifts you want, you can tell your mother that she will do her best to satisfy you!" Xia Han raised her smile and said!

Xie Tianyao looked back at Chu Ling, hesitated for a while before looking at Xia Han and said, "Can you not lock me in that yard every day? I want to go outside the yard to see!"

Xia Han didn't expect her to make such a request. She was slightly stunned and asked, "Don't you want to be locked up every day?"

As soon as she said that, Xia Han regretted it. Who would be willing to be locked in a small courtyard every day and not be free? But she is not an ordinary person, she is Xie Tianyao. She promised Xia Chenying that she would not give her freedom!

Xie Tianyao nodded, looked at her embarrassed look, lowered his eyes and said, "If you can't do it, forget it!"

Xia Han looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't bear it. If it weren't for her, how could Xie Tianyao fall into the current situation? In this life, except for her and Lian Che, she would no longer have any other children. She didn't want this daughter to always regard her as an enemy. She was still so young. If she was kind to her from now on, would she gradually forget the life of the palace and the prince, abandon all hatred, and live like an ordinary noble girl?

Xia Han sighed slightly, she stroked Xie Tianyao's face and said, "I can promise you to withdraw the guards outside the courtyard. You and Chu Ling can also walk freely in the general's mansion, but you have to promise your mother that you cannot make trouble in the general's mansion, nor can you leave the general's mansion. In the future, you have to listen to your mother and also listen to the general's mansion, okay?"

Xie Tianyao nodded. Xia Han couldn't help but feel a little happy when she saw that she had put away all the thorns on her body and became so well-behaved. She looked at Chu Ling and smiled and said, "Chu Ling, thank you for teaching my daughter so well!"

Chu Ling responded respectfully, but felt very sad. Xia Han didn't know what Xie Tianyao had experienced to become so "behaved". It was she who asked Xie Tianyao and Xia Han to make such a request. If she wanted to take Xie Tianyao away, she had to find a way to remove the guards outside the courtyard first!

After returning to the courtyard from Mu Yuelou, Xie Tianyao asked Chu Ling: "Chu Ling, am I doing well today?"

Chu Ling nodded and praised: "Tianyao did a great job!"

"Then can we not be locked up here?" Xie Tianyao grabbed her hand and asked anxiously!

"Since the lady has promised you, as long as Tianyao is obedient, the guards will be removed soon!" Chu Ling nodded!

When Xie Tianyao heard this, he smiled and said, "It's great, Tianyao can stop being locked up!"

Chu Ling looked at her smile and felt a sourness in her heart. She squatted down and gently stroked Xie Tianyao's thin face, and said hoarsely: "It's Chu Ling that is useless. I can't protect you. I have been locked up for so long!"

Xie Tianyao shook his head and hugged her tightly and said, "Chu Ling is very good. Don't worry, Tianyao will grow up quickly. When Tianyao grows up, no one can bully Tianyao. Tianyao will protect himself and also protect Chu Ling!"

With a few tender childish voices sounded in Chu Ling's ears, making Chu Ling's heart feel warm. She hugged Xie Tianyao tightly and said with a smile: "Well, Tianyao will definitely grow up safely!"

She would take her away from here and raise her well, so as not to let her be beaten again, and not to let her lose her freedom again. Chu Ling looked at the blue sky outside the courtyard, with unprecedented firmness in her eyes!

When Xia Han asked Lian Yiming to let Xie Tianyao move freely in the general's mansion, Lian Yiming agreed readily. After Xia Han left, Han Zhong asked beside Lian Yiming, puzzled: "Why did the general agree to his wife's request?"

Didn’t he hate Xie Tianyao so much that he wanted her to live a life worse than death? How could he let her go suddenly!

Lian Yiming's lips sneered, saying, "Now Han'er may see her at any time, so I can't do anything to her easily. Besides, physical torture is boring after a long time. Why not see what she wants to do if she wants this freedom. I just happened to think about what new ways to torture her!"

No matter how much he whipped Xie Tianyao, she would only look at him with a blind eye, and would not even hide. Such revenge really made him feel no pleasure. Instead, Lian Che, although he was not at risk of his life, the imperial physician said that his body was weak. Not to mention dancing with a knife and stick, it was difficult for him to grow up safely like an ordinary person. And Xia Han could not have children anymore!

Whenever he thinks of these things, even Yiming wants to peel Xie Tianyao off his bones. If she ruins everything about him, how could he relieve his hatred by just a few whips!

Chu Ling looked at the guards outside the courtyard being withdrawn, and felt unprecedentedly happy, but he didn't know that the guards on the surface had been withdrawn, but secret guards were monitoring them. Their every move was still under Lian Yiming's control!

After the guards were withdrawn, Chu Ling would take Xie Tianyao to Muyue Tower to pay tribute to Xia Han every day. This would not only ease the relationship between Xie Tianyao and Xia Han, but also make Lian Yiming be cautious and dare not beat Xie Tianyao easily!

Every time she leaves Muyue Tower, she will take Xie Tianyao around the general's mansion, secretly inquire about the route, and silently wait for their opportunities!

In late spring and early summer, the opportunity finally came. Today is Xia Chenying's birthday. Even Yiming and Xia Han went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate Xia Chenying's birthday, and they would not return to the General's Mansion in a short time!

Chu Lingxun simply packed her and Xie Tianyao's luggage. Xie Tianyao looked at her movements and said in confusion: "What are Chu Ling doing to pack her clothes?"

Chu Ling pressed his finger on his lips and whispered: "Tianyao, we will leave here tonight!"

When Xie Tianyao heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Chu Ling wants to take Tianyao away from here?"

Chu Ling nodded and whispered to Xie Tianyao: "Didn't Tianyao always want to leave here? We will leave tonight. Tianyao must be obedient and don't disturb anyone!"

Xie Tianyao nodded without hesitation and lowered his voice: "Tianyao can be obedient, Chu Ling, take me away!"

After packing up his clothes, Chu Ling took Xie Tianyao's hand, sneaked out of the courtyard and headed towards the garden!

During this period, she had already figured out the route of the night patrol guards clearly. She took Xie Tianyao and used the rockery plant ground in the garden to successfully avoid the night patrol guards!

They walked to a high wall, Chu Ling pushed apart the weeds under the wall, moved a big rock, and exposed a hole. This was what she had worked hard to dig here when people were not paying attention in the past few months. Outside the wall was an alley outside the general's mansion. They crawled out from here and they could get freedom!
