According to the mother, she waited in the pavilion all night but did not see any sign of him. Could something have gone wrong?

"But we encountered an accident on the way there." Ji Xin added helplessly.

"That night, I was surrounded by a group of well-trained assassins. Although I tried my best to end the battle as soon as possible and meet Qinghe, I was outnumbered after all. In the end, I lost the feeling in my legs."

As he finished his words, his hands slowly moved to his thighs and squeezed them hard, but no matter how hard he squeezed, his legs could no longer feel the pain.

Ye Yunzi gasped in shock. She had never thought that Lord Ji would encounter such a misfortune, and on the night he had agreed to meet his mother, he became a cripple.

Su was also shocked by the news, her face turned pale, and her hands trembled slightly.

"Half a month later, I woke up from my serious injuries. The first thing I did when I woke up was to look for your mother, but I found that she had gone to the capital.

By the time I arrived, it was too late. She had already married the eldest son of the Ye family. It turned out that the Su family and the Ye family had already had an engagement. "

Ji Xin's face was filled with sadness, pain, and regret, with complex emotions intertwined.

What hurt him the most was that he didn't see Su Qinghe in time that night. He smiled bitterly and said, "Qinghe must hate me very much. She waited for me all night with great expectation, but I didn't show up. She must be extremely disappointed in me."

"Since then, I have been asking about her. I heard that she lived happily in the Ye Mansion and gave birth to a daughter. Ye Chongde gave her everything I could give.

It would be great if she could be happy forever, but that heartless guy actually tortured her like that."

Ji Xin clenched his fists, his anger was evident, and he wished he could tear Ye Chongde into pieces.

When he saw the woman who used to be so radiant, now so weak, with no blood on her face and even obvious marks on her neck, walking out of the back door of the Ye Mansion, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

Later I found out that her days in the Ye Mansion were not happy for her and she was always depressed.

Ye Chongde favored his concubine and concubine's daughter and treated her very coldly.

What's even more abominable is that he secretly poisoned her to make her unable to have children, just to prevent her from giving birth to a son who might threaten his position.

There are people in the world who are worse than beasts!

"If I had been there at that time, or noticed it earlier and took her away from the Ye Mansion, none of this would have happened. It's all my fault."

Ji Xin hated Ye Chongde, but also hated himself for his initial cowardice.

It was precisely because he did not dare to face Qinghe that this outcome occurred.

Ye Yunzi looked at the regretful Lord Ji, opened her mouth to say something, but didn't know where to start, so she could only sigh.

At this moment, the mother behind the screen must have heard everything.

As for whether to forgive and what the future will be like, it can only be decided by the mother.

Over the years, Ji Xin has kept these things deep in his heart and never mentioned them to anyone, for fear of affecting the Su family.

Now that I have finally said it, it feels like a huge stone in my heart has fallen.

He felt a little embarrassed to tell Qinghe's daughter about this past event, so he avoided her gaze.

Ye Yunzi seemed calm, and even felt a hint of regret deep in her heart.

If my mother had been with Lord Ji back then, perhaps so many tragic stories would not have happened.

Ye Yunzi's heart moved and she felt that now seemed to be a good time.

She thought, since her mother was divorced and Lord Ji had never married, wasn't this a fate arranged by God?

So, she raised her eyes and asked, "Why hasn't Lord Ji remarried yet?"

A trace of bitterness emerged on Ji Xin's face. There was only that gentle and bright woman in his heart. Even after many years, her shadow still lingered in his mind.

In addition to his own physical condition, he really couldn't bear to implicate other women.

He shook his head slightly and explained in a calm tone.

Ye Yunzi's liking for him thus increased a little bit.

"Don't tell your mother about this. Let the past go with the wind!" Ji Xin said.

"Why? Doesn't the Marquis want to clear up the misunderstanding?" Ye Yunzi asked.

"What's the point of talking about it now?" Ji Xin smiled and shook his head. "Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, nothing can be changed. I just hope your mother can live a stable and happy life."

After hearing this, Su's hands behind the screen trembled slightly. Her mood gradually calmed down from the initial shock and she slowly put down the handkerchief in her hand.

"Mother will understand the Marquis's intentions." Ye Yunzi chuckled.

Ji Xin smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the Marquis' Mansion for help. This is what I owe Qinghe."

Ye Yunzi thanked him sincerely and poured him a cup of tea. "Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions today, my Lord. Here's a cup for you."

Ji Xin took the teacup, nodded in greeting, and drank it all in one gulp.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Ye Yunzi and sighed, "You look so much like your mother when she was young."

Through the girl in front of me, I seemed to see the figure of another person.

Ye Yunzi just smiled calmly and did not respond. As the guard pushed the wheelchair away, Su, who was hiding behind the screen, slowly walked out.

"Mom, you've worked hard." Ye Yunzi helped her mother sit down. She knew that her mother had just recovered and must be very tired after standing for so long.

Su wanted to reprimand her daughter severely, but when she saw her daughter's smiling eyes, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Ye Yunzi said mischievously: "Mom, did you hear everything?"

Su was speechless for a moment, her cheeks flushed, "You kid, you actually asked the Marquis to tell you these nonsense!"

"This is not nonsense, it clearly helps mother resolve the knot in her heart these days." Su was speechless for a moment, her heart full of surprise: When did her daughter become so eloquent?

Ye Yunzi hugged her mother's arm tightly and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder like a little girl. "Doctor Tao said that only by untying the knot in your heart can the disease be cured. I was really worried, and I thought about it for a long time before I came up with this solution."

"Silly girl." Su's eyes became gentle, and she gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Mother doesn't care about anything now. Let the past be the past. As long as you live a good life, mother will be satisfied."

Ye Yunzi raised her head, her eyes flickering with determination, "But I also hope that you can be happy, mother."

She almost blurted out, since mother still has feelings for him, why doesn't she reconcile with Lord Ji?

But Su seemed to have guessed her thoughts, lowered her head, and gently stroked her cheek: "You are my life. When I was in the Ye Mansion, I only hoped that you could survive. It was like this then, and it will be the same in the future."

"My good daughter should marry into a good family and have a glorious wedding, instead of being criticized because her mother's reputation is damaged." Su felt guilty.
