The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Yun Xi gazed into her grandmother's eyes that were full of loving love, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart. Her eyes instantly became moist, as if tears would burst out in the next second.

She no longer resisted, but gently snuggled in her grandmother's warm embrace, and asked with a choked voice: "How long will you be gone this time? I really miss you, what should I do?" Upon hearing this, her grandmother smiled kindly, stroked Yun Xi's head, and comforted her softly: "Silly child, I'm just going to take a walk nearby, maybe I'll stay in Longzhuang for a few days. If you miss me, just go there to find me."

After hearing this, Yun Xi became anxious and said quickly: "Then I will go back and pack my luggage and go with you!" Her tone was full of determination and urgency.

However, General Lin on the side gave Yun Xi a complicated look, then raised a smile and said earnestly: "Girl, it may be inconvenient for you to go with us, and it will distract us. You just married into the Marquis' Mansion, you should abide by the rules and cannot leave at will. If you really miss grandma, it won't be too late to visit Longzhuang when you have the chance in the future."

Grandma was also moved when she heard this. She held Yunxi's hand tightly, and her slightly dry fingers gently rubbed the back of her hand, as if conveying endless warmth and reluctance. "Yunxi, you are already a member of the Marquis' Mansion, and you should behave like a mistress. I know what you mean, but you can't act recklessly." Grandma's words were full of love and expectations for Yunxi.

At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law also stepped forward and said softly, "Yes, Yunxi. I think the old man and the old lady will not be gone for too long. If you really want to see them, it won't be too late to visit them after they have gone to the manor and have a few days of peace and quiet. This way you can show your filial piety without losing your manners."

Yun Xi listened to everyone's consolation, and although she was still reluctant, she could only nod and agree. She asked, "When are you leaving?" There was still a hint of imperceptible anxiety in her tone.

"Let's go after lunch." Grandma replied with a smile, "You've come at the right time. We stewed mutton today, which will suit your taste." As she said that, she pulled Yun Xi towards the dining table.

Before lunch, General Lin specially called Yun Xi to the study. In the study, the general sat on the armchair with a solemn expression, which was completely different from the smile he had just shown outside. Yun Xi had never seen her grandfather so depressed, and her heart ached. She shed tears and asked softly, "Grandpa, my aunt has told me..."

The general sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness and regret: "Over the years, her health has not been good. I always thought that she was blessed with more than this, but who would have thought... She has suffered a lot following me all her life. I have been away from home for many years, and she has been in charge of all the affairs of the family. Even when she gave birth to your mother, I was not able to be with her. When your mother got into trouble, she was heartbroken. I took her to the border town, wanting her to stay away from this sad place. But the conditions in the border town are harsh, and it is not good for her to recuperate. But she said that as long as she is with everyone, she will feel at ease. In those years, she suffered a lot following me..."

At this point, the general's voice was choked with sobs.

Yun Xi hugged him tightly, tears falling silently. She was heartbroken, but she could only accompany him silently.

"Everyone says that General Lin is the shield of Daqing and the backbone of the generals." The general continued, "But how could they know that she is my backbone! Without her, I... I don't know what to do."

Yun Xi was heartbroken when she heard this.

She tried to hold back her tears and said firmly, "Grandpa, maybe there is a way!" However, the general shook his head and sighed, "There is no way. The imperial physician and the Empress Dowager have been here. The Empress Dowager's medical skills are the best in Daqing. She said that your grandmother's time is running out, and she only gave her a pill, saying that it can make her pass away without pain."

Yun Xi's tears rolled down the general's shoulders like beads with broken strings. Her heart seemed to be hollowed out and felt empty.

She knew her grandmother's time was running out, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope. However, the reality was so cruel that she had to face this unchangeable fate.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the deepest pain and helplessness in her life.
