At this moment, Shen Rong's mind was full of the green forest in her dream. She absentmindedly drank some water from Qiuxia's hand, and then she realized that her mouth was full of bitterness.

"I'm sick..." Shen Rong said in a hoarse voice.

"Madam was overworked and had a fever in the middle of the night. I didn't find out until late at night. Fortunately, there was medicine prescribed by Master Shen. Chunxing and I took the medicine and fed it to Madam little by little. I wonder if Madam feels better now?" Qiuxia put away the teacup and said hurriedly.

Shen Rong nodded. She had not been sick since she had the fairy cave. She did not expect to fall ill so suddenly. It must be because she was too tired during this period.

At this time, Sixth Grandma took Pingping and Anan, brother and sister, into the inner room.

Sixth Grandma looked at Shen Rong with guilt on her face.

The grandson's wife fell ill at this time, it must be because of taking care of these two old guys.

When the two siblings saw Shen Rong wake up, they rushed over to the bed.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

"Mom, are you still feeling bad?"

The two children occupied the space beside the bed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Rong smiled weakly, "Mom is fine, why didn't you go to class today?"

"Mom is sick, so my sister and I asked the teacher for leave to take care of her. The teacher praised us for doing the right thing!" Pingping started chattering non-stop as soon as he saw his mother's little mouth.

An An has always been quiet. She didn't say anything, but just nodded in agreement, and then looked at Shen Rong with a worried expression.

Shen Rong touched the heads of the two siblings and looked up at Sixth Grandma, "It's my granddaughter-in-law who is unfilial and makes Grandma worried."

Seeing that Shen Rong was better than she was this morning, Sixth Grandma relaxed her tense expression. "It's good that she's okay. These two children are still young and you'll have to take care of them in the future. You must take care of yourself."

Shen Rong nodded, "Grandma's daughter-in-law will remember your teachings."

Grandma Liu looked at the two children again and said, "Your mother is fine now. Let Juxiang take you to have lunch. After lunch, take a rest and then go to the west wing to study."

The two children finally have a holiday, and their mother is sick, so how can they concentrate on studying?

The two little guys were unhappy in their hearts and it showed on their faces.

The Sixth Grandma couldn't tell what the two little kids were thinking, so she advised them, "Don't worry, your mother is fine now. Your task now is to study hard."

Although Sixth Grandma is not a doctor, under the influence of the old man, she can tell whether a person is in serious health by looking at his complexion.

Pingping thought about what the teacher usually said to him and slowly lowered his head.

The Master once told him that although their mansion was also a noble family, it had no one to support it now, and he would be the only one to support the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion in the future. He should study hard and practice martial arts and not slack off.

But the child was still worried about his mother, so he raised his head and looked at Shen Rong again.

Shen Rong understood the meaning in the child's eyes and said, "Be good, I'm fine now. You can take your sister and Juxiang to have dinner. I will be in high spirits when you come back in the afternoon."

"Mom, you must take good care of yourself. My sister and I will come to visit you after school."

"Well, mom, wait for my brother and I to come visit you after school."

The two children left the inner room under Shen Rong's gaze.

Shen Rong didn't look away until she could no longer see anyone, then she looked towards Sixth Grandma.

She knew that Sixth Grandma must have something to say to her by sending the two children away at this time.

As expected, Sixth Grandma sighed and said, "Sanniang, your grandfather and I have been seriously ill, and I keep thinking about the days in Taohua Village."

Shen Rong was silent. The two old people missed home, so did she.

However, Taohua Village is far away from the capital, and the two elderly people are too old to endure the long journey.

When Changsheng was still alive, they agreed to go back and visit when the weather was good.

But later Changsheng never came back, and she could only bury these things in her heart silently.

What Sixth Grandma means now, could it be that she wants to...

Soon, Shen Rong's guess was confirmed.

"Your grandfather and I originally thought that we would stay by Changsheng's mother's side for a hundred years, but when the time really came, people only wanted to return to their roots. Your grandfather and I thought about it all night and decided to move Changsheng's mother's grave back to Taohua Village to prevent her from being alone here. As for Changsheng..."

A trace of sadness flashed across the old man's face. "We'll build a cenotaph for him after we return."

Shen Rong also wanted to go back. This huge marquisate was cold and not as lively as the small courtyard they lived in in the county.

"Grandma, if you want to go back, let's go back. But you and Grandpa have just recovered a little, why don't we wait for another ten days or half a month before leaving? By then, the weather will not be too hot, and I can take care of all the affairs in the mansion..."

To be honest, if she left like this, Shen Rong would feel like she couldn't let go anywhere.

Those farms, when the season comes, produce so many fruits and vegetables, all of which are sent to the shops and workshops. There are so many servants in the mansion, if there is no master, who knows if it will be a mess...

Finally, Shen Rong thought of Butler Gong and felt a little relieved.

Sixth Grandma nodded and said, "I also know that there are many things to do in the mansion. If you can't leave, you can ask Wang Qing to take us back."

When the two fell ill this time, although Shen Rong Pu gave them a lot of good medicine, Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma clearly felt that their health was not as good as before.

Their surname is Shen, not Gong, so their funeral affairs cannot be held in the Gong Mansion.

If we move back to the house we bought originally, it will be difficult for Sanniang's child if the news gets out.

Therefore, the two old people thought about it and decided to go back to their hometown.

In this way, Shen Rong and the children must go back, and the family will still be together.

A hundred years later, the children can grow up under the care of the Shen family members, which is much better and safer than being orphans and widowed by their mother in this cannibalistic capital city.

If Shen Rong doesn't want to return home, the two elders are not going to force her.

Changsheng is gone, and Shen Rong is the daughter-in-law of the Gong family after all. She is still young, and it is not easy for them to force her to stay with Changsheng.

As for the two children, she and the old man had nothing to worry about. Shen Rong loved the children more than anyone else.

Shen Rong shook her head. "The children and I will go back with grandpa and grandma."

She paused, and lowered her voice a little, "I have been in the capital for a few years, and I don't know how my parents are doing at home..."

When she first came here, she was full of confidence and felt that sooner or later she would bring her family to the capital.

But later, she realized that she had thought too simply.

Not to mention how much determination it takes to move the whole family north, whether her family is willing to leave their homeland is also a question.

Furthermore, and most importantly, things have not been peaceful in the past few years since they came to Beijing, and it may not be a good thing for them for their mother's family to come to Beijing.
