Chapter 1370: Chapter 1369: Told Them

Upon hearing Mango’s final words, Beisitian’s heart felt as though it had been stung.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she fell silent.

Luo Yirui, whose expression was initially very unpleasant, also fell silent upon hearing this.

Luo Yixuan and Luo Yiqian pressed their lips together; since they had asked today, they hoped to hear something from their mother.

Upon venturing into the outside world, they realized that they had been like canaries, well-cared for, yet devoid of any real freedom.

"Mom..." Luo Yixuan’s voice was low, tinged with a thread of pleading, "We don’t want to be canaries."

Canaries?!

Beisitian’s eyes widened; was this how they viewed themselves?

Or was it her own actions that led them to this thought?

Luo Yirui, hearing his sister say this, felt a mix of anger, helplessness, and sorrow.

Angry that she misunderstood their mother, and no matter how much pain their mother felt inside, he could only grasp a fraction of it, but even that fraction often made him profoundly upset.

Yet he understood why his sister would think this way; if he were in her shoes, he might have thought the same.

He felt sorry for his two sisters because knowing the truth meant they might not be able to accept it.

Not everyone can come to terms with the issues stemming from themselves.

When he found out, it took him a long time to accept it.

He glanced at his mother, wondering what she planned to do.

Beisitian was conflicted inside as well; Cao Mei and Mango were growing up, and she couldn’t keep this from them forever.

This was the first time she had brought them out, and the issues had suddenly become sharp. This time it nearly turned into an incident—what about the next time?

She couldn’t keep them locked up forever, or they would truly become canaries.

After a brief hesitation, Beisitian decided to tell them the truth.

Knowing it would at least prevent them from taking such actions again today, whether they accepted the truth or not.

"You two, have a seat," Beisitian said softly.

Luo Yixuan and Luo Yiqian had never seen their mother’s expression like this before.

With a faint curve at her lips, yet her eyes brimming with sorrow, it felt as if she might cry.

Both were suddenly flustered, sitting there unsure of how to make amends; at this moment, they truly regretted their actions earlier, thinking that, had they not run off, mom wouldn’t be showing this expression.

"There are things that you need to know now," Beisitian said solemnly.

Luo Yirui looked up at the screen on the wall. The surveillance screen showed Uncle Xun kneeling outside, with Yan Jiu and Grandpa Qiao standing guard outside.

Ever since Uncle Xun returned, things had been like this, and Uncle Xun had been equally frightened.

"Let your Uncle Xun get up; this isn’t his fault."

It’s her own fault.

Luo Yirui nodded, opened the door, and walked out, leaving the space to mom and his sisters.

Beisitian looked at her two daughters, slowly revealing the truth of the situation.

The two young girls, upon seeing the blood taken from their fingers explode, knew their mom hadn’t lied to them.

The very person who was closest to them, who resembled them the most, was the one who might kill them!

No wonder their mother bore that expression.

Luo Yixuan and Luo Yiqian sat numbly on the couch; such a bizarre thing was happening to them.

At this moment, everything in the past had an explanation.

Beisitian looked at them, her heart feeling sour, perhaps unable to accept it.

Yet...

Luo Yiqian suddenly began to laugh.
