I took my family's justice back to Zhu Xuan and leisurely changed into my clothes before bringing them to my mother's place.

Perhaps it was because her grandmother had transferred all the capable people from her mother's side, but her own mother could not handle it alone. Even after such a long time, the people in the yard would still come often, without any rules or regulations. The interior of the room was a complete mess. All sorts of decorations were scattered on the floor. Under the rays of the evening sun, they gave off a dazzling, dilapidated beauty. Mommy Feng couldn't tell them to clean up the leftovers, and she couldn't comfort her mother who was still gasping for breath on the bed. She couldn't help but worry for a while because her mother's house was in a mess.

"Go, help keep an eye on them!"

I instructed Lan Lingyun to help tidy up those servants in my mother's courtyard who refused to be reprimanded. Lan Lingyun hurriedly walked away with a smile.

"Miss, you're here!"

I used to think that this mother Feng was a treacherous and flattering person, but I didn't expect that at this last moment she would show some of the noble family's loyalty. Seeing that my master was already waning, and still not planning for his future, and that he was trying to rope me in as his new boss, my attitude towards him was still neither humble, arrogant, cold, nor scornful.

I had no intention of bickering with her about the details. I nodded at her and went straight to my mother's bed to look at her.

I don't know if it was because my father was holding her by the throat, or if it was because my mother was feeling better, but compared to the mother I saw a few days ago, she looked much better.

His mother was lying on the pillow, gasping for breath, her chest rising and falling weakly, the veins in her neck bulging, a purple bruise on her lackluster skin.

I suddenly remembered the last time my mother had committed suicide I had come to see her in the same way.

So the mother coughed and shed tears on the big red mandarin duck pillow.

In just a few months, the situation has changed considerably.

The small wound from last time was just a result of her mother's little temper due to the relationship between husband and wife. Today, however, it was a real break.

Her father had killed a woman with his own hands and had ended up with the hope of marriage.

"Are you better?"

Seeing that my mother had stopped coughing, I hurriedly served her the tea I had prepared earlier.

A pair of trembling hands extended out from the quilt. Surprisingly, they didn't even have the strength to steady the cup.

"Young mistress, let me do it!"

The one who came over was the youngest servant girl in Grandmother's room, Red Rose.

I smiled as I handed her the teacup and watched her skillfully scoop water into her mother's mouth.

Obviously, this was not the first time she had done such a thing.

There were many people who added fuel to the fire, and very few people who offered coal in the middle of the snow. It was rare to see a maid that could take care of a patient without any ill feelings at this time.

I secretly paid attention to this maidservant.

"You're here!"

At this point, his mother laughed exceptionally calmly.

"Yes."

Laughing, I pulled my mother's quilt tighter.

The doctor had said that the most important thing for her to do was to not be exposed to the wind, but winter was about to come. At this moment, the north wind was already blowing fiercely against the windows, and he still didn't know how she was going to survive this winter …

"Yaoqin, do you believe me?"

I smiled.

To think that the most lucid moment of my mother's life was actually the last. Calling me Yaoqin shows that she can face up to the truth. I am the daughter abandoned by the Lu family, and also her nephew's daughter.

"You know me."

I tried to make my voice soft.

The mother sighed softly, a murky sound that affected her chest and abdomen.

Wind cold invades body, phlegm confusion disease. If he wanted his mother to recover from the avalanche and cold, he would have to be alive again, right?

"You never want to believe others!" Mother smiled helplessly. "That's fine too! "At least I won't be like me, suffering from the loss of believing others' lies."

Actually, your real mistake is not to trust others, but to trust someone you shouldn't have!

But to say all this to a woman who was dying and was lying on her bed with her life hanging by a broth was only to make her unhappy.

I'm not that cold-blooded.

Actually, I don't want to harm you!" "My mother's sudden expression of excitement startled me. She clamped her gaunt, cold hands around my own, and after a moment of patience, I was not able to shake her hand off as I had expected.

"I really never wanted to harm you! I just want a child of my own! With your face, and with how smart you are, you can definitely lead a good life! "

I smiled wryly to myself.

According to her mother, she was just an innocent mother who yearned for her child, so she hadn't really done anything wrong. Then what am I? She exchanged me for a child of her own and sold me to the Qin family. Then what does the Qin family need from me to help me enter the palace? Before I become a woman who can stand up in the palace, how many precious things do I need in exchange?

The Emperor loves me because I have the face of a man whom he loves. In other words, he needs no more than a substitute for the man he misses. His love was not for me, who stood in front of him, but for the woman he longed for. In order to win his pity, I would abandon my body, my interest, my personality, my self-esteem, even my heart. I would be like the person in his heart from the inside out, because that was the only way I could survive.

However, if I were to live another life, I would rather die alone than give up my pride and live on.

"You're tired today. Rest early!"

I comforted my mother softly and pulled her quilt tighter again.

In the past, when my mother was healthy and lively, I had never had much patience with her. But now, seeing that my mother had really died as I had wished, and my child had been avenged, I did not feel the joy I had expected, nor even the sorrow I often felt.

I suddenly felt as naive and stupid as I had ever been in the past.

The greatest revenge is to live well.

Let those who don't want you to live a good life witness that you get stronger and stronger every day.

It might be worse than taking their lives.

More importantly, life is short, why should I waste my time on these unrelated people?

Was this considered a different kind of growth?

His mother leaned on the pillow and laughed softly. "No rush, I will have some days to rest in the future!"

I was speechless.

"I can't care about your marriage anymore." His mother smiled blandly like an autumn chrysanthemum that had gone through a storm. Although she no longer had that fresh and charming color, she added a proud, aloof, and aloof look along with the indifference of someone who had experienced the world, "Don't be like me in the future. Don't think that you have found a husband you love and can't even take care of the words of your parents before you fall head first, and will only regret after your life is gone."

I didn't know how to answer that, so I kept quiet.

"When a person is sick, he likes to nag!" His mother laughed at herself. "I was just casually saying, don't take it to heart."

"Your whole life has been ruined by infatuation."

I smiled faintly and got up to pour a cup of tea for my mother.

"Don't go! "Don't go!"

My mother thought I was going to leave, and in a panic she half pulled herself up from the bed, put an elbow on the edge of the bed and held out her hand to me, staring and shouting, "Come back and talk to me! Don't go! "

I couldn't help but feel my heart ache.

No wonder her mother's gaze drifted away. She was already unable to see clearly.

I was standing at the table to her left, but she was trying to catch the air in front of her in vain.

"I'm here!"

I hurried over with the water and took her hand and put her back on the bed.

The mother grinned and looked like a child.

It had never occurred to me that my mother's final journey would be so bleak that the only remaining kindness came from the daughter she had once wanted to scheme against.

"It's good that you didn't leave! It's good that you didn't leave! "

His mother's dry laughter echoed in the room, sounding especially desolate and empty.

"Your uncle really isn't a person!" Before his mother could laugh, Qi Ran started crying again, "He was the one who didn't love me. Why did he kill my child? My child … I didn't get a chance to hug him... Now, we can only be together in the underworld … It's all because of that lowly slave Mo Yuyan! It's all because of her that I fell into such a situation! "

I secretly shook my head. Even now, my mother was still stubbornly thinking that it was because Aunt Mo seduced my father. How could Aunt Mo herself have done such a thing? If a slap couldn't be heard, how could the relationship between a man and a woman be so simple? What's more, Aunt Mo has both good looks and good emotions. In my opinion, father can't be more worthy of her!

Since it had already come to this, there was no need to correct her. She could just let her be happy about it.

"If she didn't harm me, how could I be where I am now? And Aunt Chen, she's not an honest person either. She's been thinking of giving birth to a son all day to mock me! Unfortunately, she didn't have any more children! "If my child is not born, then her child will not live!"

I listened to the chill behind my mother's shrill laughter.

Aunt Chen was clearly well and alive, and would soon have a baby. How did it end up like this in her mother's mouth?

Had Mother already developed hysteria?

Someone gently tugged on my sleeve from behind.

It was her mother.

She looked worriedly at the woman who was gesturing on the bed. She whispered in my ear, "I lied to her."

It seemed that someone close to her had lied to her in order to appease her.

My heart skipped a beat.

If her mother thought that she had murdered Aunt Chen's child, it meant that she was very likely already delirious, and was speaking the truth in her heart. Or was this what they meant when they said that a man was about to die?

"Why did you order Liu Lang to poison his grandmother? Isn't it enough to poison Aunt Chen? "

I took a good Calming Incense from the pouch at my waist and threw it into the cauldron that was placed in front of my mother.

"Hehe …"

The mother smiled gently and breathed in the air like orchids:

"None of you believe me … Don't believe me... What did I do to the old lady? I am looking forward to having a son. If anything happens to the old lady, I will have to spend five years with Ding You. When I am thirty-two years old, how can I have children? "

My heart skipped a beat.

There was no proof, but what his mother said made perfect sense.

How could a woman who looked forward to having a child do something so stupid as to harm her mother-in-law?

I had never thought about it before, so I kept doubting my mother.

Speaking of which, her mother was probably the one who hoped that her grandmother would live for a hundred years until she successfully gave birth to Lin'er, right?

"Then why did that sandalwood incense die in your courtyard?"

Mother suddenly went mad, clawing at her hair and roaring, "How should I know! How would I know! I just wanted her to scare the bitch. I gave her money to go away, but she came back. It's one thing for her to come back, but why is she still in my well! "

"Yuanyuan, someone must have done this to me!" There must be someone trying to harm me! You have to find out for me! Find out for me! "

When I saw that my mother was obviously very ill, but she was still holding her head and rolling back and forth on the bed, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I took a few steps back, looking coldly at her, not daring to go forward and stop her.

Mother Feng looked at me with resentment in her eyes. She went forward to gently comfort my mother.

After a long while, her mother could not calm down even with her moaning. She had to be held down on the bed by a few strong moms, but she still struggled and shouted, "I was wrongly accused! I'm innocent! You have to find out for me! "

My mother's mournful cries and cries were like the spirits of the wronged, causing my hair to stand on end. I hurriedly bowed to my mother, who was still struggling on the bed, before bringing my maidservants out of the courtyard.

Even at night, as I lay in bed, I could hear my mother's cries, tossing and turning in my sleep.

He could only stare blankly at the exquisite, embroidered crane on the bed.

Separated by the tent, a weak light reflected off the silver threads used to embroider. The crane feathers were crystal clear, flickering in the night.

The bell outside was ticking.

It was an exceptionally quiet night.

A soft knocking sound came from the door. Lan Yu, who was on duty at the outer room, stood up with a rustle. Her feet, which were only in socks, rubbed against the carpet, and the creaking sound of the door opening could be heard.

"Come in!"

I raised my voice, but my voice was a little hoarse.

The two maids seemed surprised that I wasn't asleep. After a while, they replied, "Yes."

Dizzy yellow light moves along with my footsteps, slowly illuminating the plum blossom wrapped around the curtain in front of my bed, and then on to the white crane to send off the blessings …

Lan Ling slowly reached out her hand to pry open the cloth in front of me, and Lu Kui quickly handed over a piece of loquat with a charming smile.

There was a hint of coolness in the warmth, and his dry throat was much more relaxed than before. It seemed as if even the pent-up anger was gradually quelled.

"What happened?"

I handed the empty bowl to Rookie. Lan Lingyun hurried over with a spittoon to help me rinse my mouth.

Looking at the dark expressions of the two maids, I started attending to them carefully. What else do I have that I don't understand …

"Go and find me some plain clothes!"

The two of them nodded silently. One went to find clothes as I instructed, while the other squatted down to help me put on my socks.
