Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Li Qiulian tilted her head, unable to control the pride in her eyes, "Of course I will give it to you."

But it is not certain whether it is true or not.

This time, she doesn't need to do anything to prevent Gu Qinghe from jumping around in Beijing from now on. It makes her happy just thinking about it.

So as to avoid making Shao Wei annoyed with her.

"How many days will it take for mother to come back from this visit?"

"It should take another three or four days."

"That's enough." Li Qiulian picked up the jade pendant and looked quietly at the sunlight projected through the carriage window.

She had seen this jade pendant in her mother's wooden box. The only difference was that the word engraved on the jade pendant in her mother's box was "Li".

These two jade pendants were tokens of my father and mother's love, and they are engraved with each other's surnames.

The piece that belonged to her mother was stuffed into the swaddling clothes of the unlucky child when she gave birth to him in the wild, and the piece that belonged to her father is still treasured by her, in the hope that one day the unlucky child will come to her with the jade pendant.

This jade pendant once bothered Li Qiulian. In her dreams at midnight, she would always dream that the original daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was brought back, and she would hide aside like a drowned dog, watching the Prime Minister and his wife asking about that person's well-being.

Jealousy almost burned her.

Of course, she didn't think that she had taken that person's place. After all, she did nothing. It was her father and mother who brought her to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Over the years, she has always been with her father and mother, trying to make them happy.

Li Qiulian laughed out loud.

God really treated her well. How could he take back so easily what he gave her?

The hardships that Li Qiulian should have to endure in her life had already been experienced in the days after she was born. From the day she was brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by the Prime Minister, she was destined to have good days from now on.

It was destined that she would see the jade pendant today.

……

Three days later, the Prime Minister's wife returned from worshipping Buddha. When she got off the carriage, she did not see Li Qiulian and felt a little confused.

On weekdays, when she came back from going out, her daughter would always be waiting for her at the door early.

One of the reasons why she and her husband love Li Qiulian so much is because Li Qiulian is very likable in these aspects.

I don’t know if it’s an innate ability, but Li Qiulian is very good at observing people’s words and expressions and understanding their hearts.

Especially the Prime Minister's wife. She would act like a spoiled child and make unreasonable demands in front of the Prime Minister's wife, but would be more restrained in front of the Prime Minister.

Calling the servants over, the Prime Minister's wife asked, "Lian'er went out?"

The servant looked a little unnatural, "The young lady is resting in her room. A few days ago, she had a dispute with Doctor Gu in the restaurant for some reason. Since that day, the young lady has always been a little absent-minded."

The Prime Minister's wife didn't like Gu Qinghe's behavior of showing up in public. In addition, her daughter liked Shao Wei, and Gu Qinghe was entangled with Shao Wei, which made her daughter sad. Naturally, the Prime Minister's wife had even less good feelings towards her.

Upon hearing this, his expression suddenly became gloomy and he walked towards Li Qiulian's boudoir.

After entering the courtyard, the maid who served Li Qiulian bowed to her as soon as she saw her, "Madam."

"Where's Lian'er?"

"The young lady is resting. She said she is not feeling well." The maid's hesitant expression made the Prime Minister's wife even more unhappy.

It seems that Lian'er was really hurt by Gu Qinghe.

I pushed the door open and walked in. There was a faint scent of incense in the room, and the slightly raised bump on the bed was still trembling slightly.

Her heart ached, and the Prime Minister's wife stepped forward quickly, "Why are you crying again? What did Gu Qinghe say to make you unhappy?"

She said in a deep voice with a tense face: "A mere doctor really thinks she has great abilities. Even if Shao Wei can support her, can he still reach out to me now?"

"Someone come here!" The Prime Minister's wife immediately asked someone to bring Gu Qinghe over.

Li Qiulian struggled to sit up from the bed. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying for the past two days.

"Mother."

She shook her head. "It's not because of her. My daughter is sad because of you."

As she spoke, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string.

The Prime Minister's wife was stunned for a moment, "Because of me?"

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is it because mother went out to worship Buddha for a longer time this time that made you worried?"

Li Qiulian shook her head again, "Please sit down. Your daughter wants to tell you something."

She made way for the Prime Minister's wife to sit on the bed. The mother and daughter looked at each other. Li Qiulian looked sad. "Over the years, my daughter has heard about her life experience and knows that she is not her biological daughter."

The Prime Minister's wife stood up in a flash, fuming, "Who is the blind person gossiping about this?!"

"Mother," Li Qiulian said helplessly, "Please listen to me first."

"If I find your biological daughter, can I still stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" She was a little incoherent. "I don't mean to take her place. I just can't bear to leave my father and mother. If you let me stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can even stay by your side and serve you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The Prime Minister's wife held her in her arms, her expression somewhat sad, yet somewhat relieved.

She knew that there was little hope for her child to survive. Over the years, she had already faced the reality that in such a desolate mountain, a newborn baby with blood on its body would easily be taken away by wild beasts.

After feeling sad, she comforted Li Qiulian, "Even if you can really find her, you are still a daughter that your mother loves. This will never change at any time."

Li Qiulian's eyes were blurred with tears, but she was very happy, as if she had finally let go of a worry.

She took out a jade pendant from under her pillow and handed it to the Prime Minister's wife, "Look, mother, is this the same jade pendant as the one you put away?"

The Prime Minister's wife almost snatched the jade pendant away and didn't even notice that her nails scratched Li Qiulian.

"Where did this come from?"

Li Qiulian lowered her eyes, her gaze quietly fixed on the back of her hand which was scratched by nails and slowly oozing blood, her heart filled with indifference.

Look, she was so excited just because a jade pendant was swapped, and she even kept saying that she treated herself as her own daughter.

If Gu Qinghe is really that child, how could there be any place for her in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"My daughter bought it from Gu Qinghe two days ago," Li Qiulian put her bleeding hands behind her back, "My daughter thought it looked familiar. After getting it, she felt that she should give the jade pendant to her mother. If, if..."

Before she could finish her words, the Prime Minister's wife threw the jade pendant away with a cold face, "You are dreaming! She wants to be the daughter of my Prime Minister's Mansion, is she worthy?"

If it were someone else, they would be fooled by the jade pendant, but she could tell at a glance that the jade pendant was fake.

The real piece had already been engraved in her mind, and she would never forget even the slightest trace of that jade pendant.
