Qing He stood up and walked around happily. She had been walking for a long time and her body was too weak to rest in this pavilion.

She woke up at dawn. When she stepped out of the bed, she was so excited that she was crying. She could finally get off the bed without her walking stick or wheelchair. She put on her clothes and walked out of the room. When she saw that no one was around, she ran and jumped and did what she had always wanted to do. It was a feeling that no one could understand.

Qing He thought back to how happy she looked at that time. It was very embarrassing, but luckily, no one saw it.

Qing He looked to the east and saw a patch of red appear in the sky. The sun was peeking out from the mountains, and then the sun was jumping out from the mountains at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

Qing He looked at the red sun and felt a ripple in his heart. This red sun might be his new life! Rushing Qi! Brilliant! He had to adapt well to the life here. The wish he had not completed in his previous life had been fulfilled in this life.

Qing He walked back to his room. It wasn't long before he arrived.

Qing He walked over to the mirror and untied the ribbon. It was too dark in the morning, so he couldn't see clearly. Now, he could see the shocking strangling marks. How long had he been hanging for?

He yawned and walked over to the bed. It was too early for him to get up today. He decided to go back to sleep.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In her daze, Qing He heard a knock on the door. She opened her confused eyes.

"Is Qing He up yet? I'm your mother. "

Get out of bed at once and open the door

When Qing He saw the Second Madam, he was stunned for a moment. The word 'breathtaking' was no longer enough to describe her current feelings.

Yesterday, her clothes were messy and her face was stained with tears. She thought she was very pretty, but now, with her light blue dress and neat bun, her temperament was completely obvious.

Second Madam Gu smiled and asked lovingly, "Did I wake you up?" Mother told Little Bamboo not to come in the morning, do you mind? "

Qing He shook his head.

Second Madam looked at Qing He's neck and caressed it affectionately. "Although there isn't any big problem, it doesn't look good. Mother brought you some Shu Hen solution. Very smart. You won't be able to see it within 24 hours."

Qing He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother."

Second Madam Ye picked up the box in her hands and shook it, "This is what Mother made. Your favorite dishes are Silver Ear Lotus Seed Porridge, Soup Dumplings, and Hibiscus Cake Gui Hua Cake."

Looking at Second Madam's expectant eyes, Qing He had a strange feeling. She had never experienced motherly love before. This kind of care made Qing He's heart warm and her eyes moisten unknowingly.

When Second Madam saw the situation clearly, she panicked. "Qing He, don't cry. What happened to you? Did mother do something wrong?"

Qing He hugged the Second Madam and sobbed, "Mother, I'm fine. I'm very happy to see that Mother treats me so well."

Second Madam Gu patted Qing He's shoulder. "Silly girl, you're the only mother. If you don't love anyone, you'll love them."

The two of them entered the room. Qing He opened the box, and the fragrance immediately assaulted his nostrils. Qing He couldn't wait to have a bite, and with a smile and a bit of fragrance, he said, "Mother, please teach me how to make the pastries."

Second Madam's face was brimming with happiness. "Alright, Mother can teach you anytime. You don't remember Mother. It's just the right time to cultivate relationships."

Qing He discovered that her mother looked very good when she smiled. Her every action had the air of a lady from a noble family, and her beauty was classical.

Qing He felt a faint sadness. This beautiful woman still didn't know that her real daughter had passed away. In the future, she would be her daughter. She would replace the Qing He from before and properly honor Second Madam.

Qing He gathered his thoughts and tried to find something to say. "Mother, how many wives do father have? How many siblings do I have?"

"Your father has five wives, three sons and four daughters, the first wife and the current empress are sisters, so the other wives are all attached to her, the first wife has the eldest miss and the second young master, I'm the only one with the third wife, the fourth wife has the eldest young master, the fourth wife has the second young miss and the fifth wife has the fourth young miss."

Qing He nodded his head obediently: "Mother, I will pay attention. Among these people, do I have a good relationship with them?"

"Yes there is, but whether it is on the surface or not is not clear. In the following days, we can distinguish who is really good to you."

Qing He understood that with his former glory, there must be many people who were on good terms with him. Now that his reputation was in disarray, those who were willing to help were his true friends.

Qing He changed the topic. "Mother, what skills do I have? Do you think I know anything like zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc.?"

Second Madam Ye lovingly stroked Qing He's head, her face filled with pride. "Of course I will. Qin, qi, qi, qi, qi, calligraphy, poetry, art. You are proficient in all aspects. I was the one who taught you."

Qing He looked at the Second Madam in admiration and said happily, "Mother is so amazing."

Second Madam looked at Qing He's worshipful expression and was very satisfied. These were all her unique skills. She was also a bit worried. If Qing He knew her identity, would he despise her?

Qing He rejoiced in his heart. Although she didn't have a mother and her father was equal to nothing, and he had attended school, those kids always bullied her, saying that she had no father and no mother to love. She really couldn't bear to stop studying and never went back to school again.

Fortunately, there was a kind neighbor. She was a university professor and had no family, so after seeing and being pitiful, she became a teacher of peace. In addition to her textbooks, she also taught him how to be a person, taught him all kinds of books and calligraphy, that professor was a professor of medicine, and also taught her medical skills. Qing He was very obsessed with medicine, so it could be said that out of all the skills he learned, medicine was the best.

Qing He also wanted to get to know the Second Madam more, so she begged, "Mother, I want to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion to get to know more about him."

Second Madam Gu hesitated and said, "Alright, but I'll put some Shu Hen solution on you first."

The two of them walked around the residence as the Second Madam introduced the situation to Qing He. "Ai, you are closest to the backyard. Next is He Garden. The environment of the garden is quite good. Many people are sightseeing."

Qing He saw that it was the garden he had gone to in the morning.

"The biggest one was your father's house, while the one on the east was the eldest lady's. My house wasn't too far away from yours. As for the rest, they were …"

After listening to her mother's introduction, Qing He had a rough understanding of the situation of the manor. After a long while, the two of them returned. Qing He couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of the manor.

Seeing that they had returned to the garden, Qing He's heart skipped a beat. "Mother, let's go inside and take a look."

Second Madam agreed readily.

Qing He walked around in the morning. She liked the lotus flowers in the pond, the unique path, and the pavilions. As they walked in, they heard the sounds of playing and victories. Second Madam subconsciously turned back.

"Since big sister is here, let's have a chat. Did big sister dislike little sister just now?"

Second Madam walked up to him and said, "Fourth Sister, what are you talking about? It's been a long time since we last met, but my younger sister has become even more beautiful."

Qing He could feel that his mother didn't like this Fourth Madam. Her face was gorgeous. Her clothes were luxurious, and she had a lot of jewelry. She was just like a noble lady.
