Yun Gui didn't seem to intend to stop her, so Li Qingqian pushed the door open and walked in.

When she saw the woman lying on the couch, tears welled up in her eyes.

At a certain moment after Li Qingqian entered the room, the woman on the couch frowned slightly, and then seemed to relax completely.

The sleeping face became peaceful after that moment, and the breathing became very even.

Her long black hair spread on the pillow. When she closed her eyes, she was not as dignified as she was when I first saw her that day. Her long eyelashes were the color of a young crow, and she looked more peaceful and calm instead.

Li Qingqian didn't dare to move too far forward for fear of disturbing the woman who was resting.

She looked at the face that was naturally familiar to her from afar, tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Mother..."

Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun originally came to investigate the matter of Jiang Chan, so Yun Gui arranged them to stay in the side room.

Fu Bin had more than just the Bailian Town matters to deal with, so he went back to deal with other matters first.

At night, Li Qingqian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she quietly stepped past Shen Changyun, put on her cloak and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

Without her by his side, Shen Changyun didn't feel so sleepy, so as soon as she left, he sighed and followed her out.

"You're out alone so late at night. You really make me, your husband, worry."

Shen Changyun followed behind and couldn't help but scold.

Li Qingqian looked back at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "I am not a weak person. Ever since I defeated you at the Plum Blossom Feast that day, I have never dared to slack off and have been practicing hard every day. Now I also know some boxing skills, as well as the use of hidden weapons and poison."

After she finished speaking, she proudly shook the bracelet towards Shen Changyun, "I modified this heirloom bracelet that your family gave me. At first glance, it looks like a simple piece of jewelry, but in fact, there is a mystery hidden inside."

She pressed the transparent mutton-fat jade on the bracelet, and instantly, several silver needles shining with cold light appeared on the inner wall of the bracelet.

The tip of the silver needle was soaked in the poison that Li Qingqian learned from Song Ningyan a few months ago. At present, no one except Song Ningyan and her has the antidote for this poison.

Shen Changyun smiled helplessly and rubbed the back of her head. "My wife is really amazing. But why are you hanging around here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Li Qingqian took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Yunlang, if you had just experienced a great upheaval, and someone entered your room at this time, you would not be alert, but sleep more peacefully. If this person is not your parents, relatives, or a long-time friend, and certainly not me, who do you think that person would be?"

Shen Changyun paused and looked at her in silence.

Li Qingqian thought he had misunderstood something, so she grabbed his arm and explained, "This is just a hypothesis. You just need to tell me, who will be your first reaction?"

Shen Changyun raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her lovingly, "Then it is likely that the other party is our child. If our child comes to my bedside, I will certainly let down my guard."

"You think so too," but Li Qingqian was not in tune with his thoughts and continued to talk to herself, "Yunlang, I always feel that Madam Qingyu... is my mother."

Seeing that Shen Changyun didn't say anything, she continued, "I know it's a bit strange to say this. After all, it's said that my mother died a long time ago due to childbirth difficulties, and now Madam Qingyu is a living person. But when I entered her room just now, she relaxed her guard towards me. And whether it was her face or the feeling she gave me, I really felt that she was my mother, and my mother was still alive!"

Shen Changyun sighed. He was also a son, so he naturally understood the feeling of being naturally close to his mother.

He took Li Qingqian's hand and told her what Yun Gui had said in the main hall just now.

In fact, even Yun Gui himself was scared by what happened that year.

She grew up without a father or mother, and was chosen by Old Lady Li to be a secret guard of Tan Yi when she was four years old.

The old lady liked clouds, and she would always include the word "cloud" in the names of the people who served her.

When the old lady knew her life experience, she named her "Yun Gui" because she hoped that no matter where she went, she would remember that she now had a home, and as long as she returned to the old lady, she would be home.

Among the original group of Tan Yi secret guards, Yun Gui was the youngest and the weakest, but she was the most competitive. When she took the test at the end of each year, Yun Gui would always get the best results.

Therefore, the old lady liked her the most.

When he was fourteen years old, the old lady was busy choosing a marriage for Li Zhengkang. The one she was most satisfied with was the Cheng family, which was excellent in terms of family tradition and power at that time.

The third daughter of the Cheng family is Li Qingqian’s mother, Cheng Zhaoling.

The old lady also knew that the Cheng family's daughter marrying Li Zhengkang was a marriage of downgrade, so she had to show some sincerity. In addition to the prepared betrothal gifts, she also sent Yun Gui to Miss Cheng San.

Girls from aristocratic families are always accompanied by maids who have been with them since childhood.

Old Master Cheng originally looked down on a girl like Yun Gui, but Cheng Zhaoling liked her very much.

Not only did she never dislike Yun Gui's cold personality, but she treated her and the other girls around her like her own sisters, and would share any new things she got with them.

This made Yun Gui slowly begin to experience the same joys and sorrows as other people, and he was no longer cold and unapproachable.

Li Zhengkang married Cheng Zhaoling as he wished. After marriage, the two lived in harmony and soon they had the eldest son Li Xi.

Seeing that Cheng Zhaoling was living a sweet life, Yun Gui, who had not forgotten the old lady's kindness, volunteered to train a new batch of Tan Yi secret guards for the old lady.

Her first pair of disciples were Yunyan and Yunwu, whom she picked up on the cliff that year.

At that time, Yunyan and Yunwu were not as free to come and go as they are today, and Yungui was more attentive in teaching them.

In fact, for secret guards like them, their masters usually choose those who are fatherless and motherless and young, so that they can not only learn martial arts from an early age, but also have absolute control over them.

But Yunyan and Yunwu reminded her of her past - she was the same, it was not that her parents were absent, but she was abandoned since childhood, and even if she found her parents later, she did not have much feelings for them.

Therefore, to Yunyan and Yunwu, Yungui is both their teacher and mother.

When a new batch of Tan Yi secret guards were being trained, Yun Gui also discovered that something was wrong with his wife - Li Zhengkang's ambition seemed to be growing, and he cared less and less about his wife and children.

At first, the lady would comfort her and herself, saying that Li Zhengkang was a man and would always be more careless than a woman in such matters.

Until Li Zhengkang brought Liu to his house.
