Weeks passed, Xue Liang was drinking tea outside as they watched the pond full of koi's. Su Rong was sitting down also as Xue Liang saw her limping her whole time. She couldn't help but laugh in her head. "It seems as though you and Lim have been in a good mood." Su Rong only blushed when she knew Xue Liang and Liu Gang knew what they had been doing. "Nevertheless, how is Sister Ya and Prince Ye Ping? Have they been up to something again?"
Su Rong nodded as she needed to inform her. "Sister Ya is planning to kill your mother. What do you wish to do?" Su Rong asked. Xue Liang got up and smiled. "Let's get my father into this."
Getting up, Liu Gang saw Xue Liang, he saw from the looks she was up to something again. "Is my wife planning something again?" He went up to her as she didn't expect him to be there.
"Nothing, husband should've told me when he was back." Xue Liang looked at him as he held her around the waist.
"Wife, don't lie to me. I won't allow you to be off this time. If your doing something then I'm involved." He wouldn't let her go as she sighed looking at him.
"Ya plan to kill my mother, but I thought of a plan that my mother has to be involved in." He released her as he took her by the hand.
"You're not going alone. I'm going with you, but there is something that you must know about your mother."
"What do you mean?" Xue Liang questioned.
"Lim has done some search and your mother is sick due to Ya leaving her poisonous incense." Xue Liang became wide eyed, rushing to the entrance as she was going to visit her mother. Liu Gang followed after her, they went to the Xue Manor.

"Mother!" Consort Ling Fe was resting in her room as her father was sitting beside her. Xue Liang sighed, going to sit beside them. "How is mother? I heard that you've been sick lately mother." Consort Ling Fe nodded as she was more pale than usual. Xue Liang hugged her mother resting her head on her mother's chest. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"A mother can only help her daughter find happiness before she leaves."
"Fe don't say that." Duke Xue Cheng said as he had a serious and sad tone. Ling Fe looked at him as she smiled at him weakly. "Husband being with you has been my happiest moment. Having our children and promises. I'm sorry I won't be able to stay longer with you and our kids." She held his hand as he rubbed her cheek.
Xue Liang went to stand near Liu Gang as her father and mother stayed together holding each other and talking about the past. Xue Li and Xue Yahui we're sniffling as they sat near her.
Xue Liang left the room with Liu Gang walking silently behind her. "Liang?" He called out as she hugged him crying into his chest. Liu Gang hugged her back but she kept crying. He could only comfort her with his hug and words. "It's okay. I'll make sure to help your mother. We'll figure it out together." She nodded in his chest as he held her chin to look at him wiping her tears. "Don't cry like this all the time. I won't be able to withstand it." She nodded as he kissed her.

Xue Ya was there as she clenched her fist. "Liang, your mother won't be alive for much longer." She left as she met up with her men. "Get rid of her mother tonight or else you all won't be heard from again." She rushed off as they got ready.

Peng Lim was there watching them as he reported back to Liu Gang and Xue Liang. "She plans to get rid of your mother tonight. What do you plan to do?"
"We'll have to talk with your mother and ask her for her cooperation." They went off to Consort Ling Fe's room as Duke Xue Cheng had left to the emperor.
Ling Fe was waiting for them as she saw them come in. "What does my daughter and son-in-law want?"
"Mother, can you help us with something?" She looked to them as they all decided to discuss the situation about Xue Ya wanting to kill her.
"Alright I'll help you but my time is running out so I see no need to rescue me." She said.
"Mother! We can help you. You just need to be in a different environment. You've known for years that the air in this place has been filled with poison but you still insisted on staying here. I cannot let you remain here."
"My sweet daughter, I did it because I loved your father. If I don't survive I will forever love him and never forget him. Promise me you will take care of him and your brothers." Xue Liang cried as she nodded. Hugging her mother as they soon left.
"Mother, I won't let you die." She said.

Spies entered the Xue Manor as they went to Consort Ling Fe's quarters as they had set a fire. Everything burned as Ling Fe and Su Lei were in the fire. They ran with the place all burning and crashing down. "Fe! Over here!" They were surrounded by fire as Ling Fe soon fainted as she coughed up blood. "Fe!!!" Su lei held her close as the fire was burning. She cried as figures in black suits then showed up.

Fragments of Glass
before the 1939-1945 War, most churches in England had stained glass windows, but despite local people's best efforts many of these windows were smashed in the bombing. What could be repaired was repaired, but in many churches all they could do was reassemble the remaining fragments randomly, with extra bits of clear glass added to eke them out to fill the windows. That is what I imagined for my collection of short stories: fragments of stained glass, bits of robe, bits of faces, all sorts of odds and ends randomly stuck together. And with quite a lot of clear fragments among the coloured ones. Just broken pieces of stories that anyone can look through.

Good girl, Skyli Bell, and rebel, Wyatt Cook, were neighbors. Nothing more nothing less. That was until a scared girl dropped a baby off at Skyli's doorstep. Now the two have to work together to take care of the little bundle of joy secretly.~"So let me get this straight: your super hot goodie two-shoes neighbor brought over a baby that is not hers and asks you to help her take care of her... and you agreed. But the baby belongs to some random girl who just left her with Sky," he asked. I nodded. He shook his head and puffed out a breath. "And now Sky is practically living in your house and you two are raising a baby together, but you have no interest in her whatsoever?" he asked. I nodded. "Exactly." Davis sighed and rolled his eyes before he was leaning forward with his hands pressed against the table. "This is going to get really screwy, really fast, Wyatt," Davis warned me.
