After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Looking at the little girl running away happily, I can imagine her joy when she gave the jade hairpin to her mother, and how her mother was so moved that she might shed tears when she received the gift.

There was a person wandering anxiously outside the palace gate. He glanced in the direction of the intersection from time to time. When he saw Liu Yunxiang's carriage approaching, he hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet it.

The carriage stopped, and Liu Yunxiang was helped out of the carriage by Zijin.

"Butler Xu, what are you doing?"

"Girl, I've waited for you. Come home with me quickly."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "But is there something wrong?"

"Madam wants to see you."

Butler Xu is the steward of the Shilang Mansion, and the lady he refers to is Liu Yunxiang's mother, Mrs. Liu.

Liu Yunxiang replied lightly: "No time."

"Girl, I have been ill these days and my health is getting worse and worse. As a child, you can be so cruel. Do you really want to go back and take a look?" The housekeeper looked incomprehensible.

"The housekeeper knows what happened before."

"But things will eventually pass."

"Oh, you go back and tell her that I will die by then."

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang walked into the palace.

"Girl, if it's not for the sake of my wife, you can't just let go of the young master's affairs, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang stopped and looked sideways at the housekeeper: "What happened to Yunheng?"

Liu Yunxiang's relationship with his parents has ended, but their relationship with his younger brother Yunheng has not changed. Although she didn't want to go back to the Minister's Mansion, she still followed the housekeeper back because of her brother's affairs.

When we arrived at the east courtyard, we smelled a strong medicinal scent as soon as we entered the main door. Moving to the west room, the maid opened the curtain, and Liu Yunxiang walked in to see Mrs. Liu sitting on the bedside, looking exhausted.

Her thin eye sockets were sunken, her cheekbones were bulging, and her face was blue.

She doesn't have long left...

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and walked inside.

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Liu frowned and her face sank.

"You are worthy of being a child. I am afraid that if your mother and I die, you will not go to the grave to kowtow! How could I give birth to such a cruel daughter like you? I...ahem...if I had known that you were so unfilial, It’s better to... ahem... strangle you to death early!"

The more Mrs. Liu talked, the angrier she became and she kept coughing.

Liu Yunxiang stood three steps away from the bed, looking at her indifferently.

"You are promising... You are the Princess of Zhenbei... We, the Vice Minister's Mansion, can't reach you! But your surname is Liu, we gave birth to you and raised you... Even before... we had no choice but to send you back to Jing'an Marquis Mansion... ...You shouldn’t hold a grudge against us either!”

As Mrs. Liu spoke, seeing Liu Yunxiang still looking indifferent, she raised her finger and pointed at her, gritting her teeth.

"I will go to the imperial court to sue you... sue you for being unfilial... sue..."

Mrs. Liu couldn't catch her breath and couldn't even speak.

Liu Yunxiang went to the table and got a cup of tea, then came back and handed it over: "Mrs. Liu, have a cup of tea."

The sentence "Mrs. Liu" made the person on the bed startled. She looked at Liu Yunxiang again and saw that there was only indifference on her face. There was no resentment, no hatred, and no care. It was as if she was really just Mrs. Liu, and she was just pouring this cup of tea. Just out of courtesy.

Mrs. Liu knocked down the cup of tea in front of her, "It's been so long, you can't forgive us?"

Liu Yunxiang looked at the teacup that had been knocked to the ground, and she sighed, "It's been so long, and I don't want to mention it anymore."

She looked up at Mrs. Liu again, was silent for a moment, and said: "Back then, Xie Zixuan wanted to cut me into pieces, but you tied me up and sent me to him for the so-called face. That night, whether I lived or died with you, Our fate has been broken. You said that I am not worthy of being a daughter, so do you deserve to be parents? When I was in Beijin, I adopted a godmother. She protected me time and time again and risked her life to save me time and time again. In the end, she was on the verge of death after being tortured by the poison, but she still gritted her teeth, supported me, and planned for me. It was not until I left Beijin smoothly that she finally felt at ease. You gave birth to me and raised me, and that time you will I give it to Xie Zixuan. I don’t hate you or take revenge on you, so this has been repaid. And in my heart, I only have one mother, and that is my godmother."

Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, and she suddenly thought of a time in the past when her daughter was clinging to her side on a summer afternoon. She hugged her and taught her how to run a family when she got married. She also taught her that if she was bullied, she must go home and tell her parents. , her parents are her backers.

They loved their daughter before, but then... Later, when their son joined the army and had an accident, they transferred the pain of losing their son to their daughter and hated her so much that they gritted their teeth.

Later, the daughter was bullied by people in the Hou Mansion, and they had a twisted pleasure in revenge.

Later, when her son came back, she was a little afraid to think back on the past and what the couple had done to their daughter. They know it is wrong and unforgivable, but as long as they don't think about it, they can still regard themselves as parents.

The Book of Filial Piety says that parents are at fault and children should not hold grudges. This is their confidence.

If her daughter refuses to forgive, it is her fault.

Mrs. Liu was silent for a long time. She had to accept the fact that their mother-daughter relationship had been broken and could not be renewed.

"My time is running out." Mrs. Liu said.

Liu Yunxiangmo, according to the development of her previous life, she should have died five years ago. It was only because she mentioned at that time that her brother Liu Yunheng might still be alive, which gave her the will to survive, and she survived for another five years.

She has done everything she can, and she has no regrets.

"Yun Heng told us two days ago that he might be transferred to Weizhou to serve as a military governor. We originally wanted to keep him with us, but he has great ambitions, so your father and I are happy. I haven't had a single day. If you die, you will have to drag him down, so I discussed with your father, he resigned, and then took me back to my hometown. When I die, I will be buried quietly and I won’t tell you." At this point, Liu The lady coughed a few times, and then looked at Liu Yunxiang, still looking indifferent.

"You don't care about us, but you can't ignore your brother, right?"

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "So what happened to him?"

Mrs. Liu let out a long sigh: "I wanted to arrange his marriage before leaving the capital, but the last thing on my mind was settled. It's just that we had a good discussion with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but early yesterday morning, someone from their family came to bring the betrothal gift. I sent it back again and said that the previously arranged marriage didn’t count.”

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Doesn't it count?"

After passing the great and small selves, how can we say that if it doesn’t count, it doesn’t count!

"Your brother originally refused to get married, but I don't know where I met him. He was very satisfied with these six girls. When he came back, he rushed us to place the betrothal gift. When he learned that Dingyuan Houfu regretted the marriage, he didn't say anything on his face. , but how could the mother-in-law not see it? He felt uncomfortable."

Liu Yunxiangmo, that sixth girl is a good girl, and she really hopes that she will marry her younger brother.

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Liu and asked.
