Song Mingli suddenly opened his eyelids and gasped for breath like a drowning person being rescued.

Isn't she dead?

The pain of bedsores all over the body, the pain of feeling guilty towards Jingyou, the pain of feeling burned by fire...it's so real!

But here...

But she used to -

The place where Gu Qingshan lived before he came back?

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Jingyou lay on the edge of the bed, his soft voice sounded like the sound of nature.

Song Mingli looked at his "lost and found" son with surprise and joy.

She got out of bed barefoot and hugged Jingyou, with waves of heat in her eyes.

Her Jingyou is still here! He is still alive and well!

I'm not stupid, my tongue hasn't been cut off! There's still time for everything!

"Are you having a nightmare, mother? Don't be afraid, Jingyou is here! Jingyou will protect you!"

No! Not a nightmare!

She devoted her life to the Gu family until she fell ill and was paralyzed in bed.

She was so sick that she was dying, and all she wanted was to see her son once more before she died.

Her good husband Gu Qingshan, however, put his arm around his cousin Su Yi's shoulders and let her watch Jingyou fight with the vicious dog for a steamed bun.

At that time, Jingyou had already become mentally retarded and had his tongue cut off by the Prince of Pingwang Mansion.

She broke down and cried, asking Jingyou to let go of the steamed bun... Jingyou was kicked by the servant and vomited blood, but he snatched the steamed bun from the vicious dog's mouth and wanted to give it to her!

……

Everything is so clear and so real!

Song Mingli firmly believed that everything she had experienced was not a dream - it was real!

She is dead.

Su Yi knocked over the oil lamp, and she and Jingyou were burned to death in the shabby house.

……

Jingyou's small hands gently stroked her back, and his soft voice comforted her firmly and gently.

Song Mingli almost burst into tears again...

No! Jingyou, I will never be that stupid, cowardly woman who puts her husband first again!

In this life, I will definitely protect you and never let anyone hurt you again!

"What did Jingyou just say? Who's back?" Song Mingli calmed down the turmoil in his heart and looked at his son tenderly and lovingly.

"Dad is back and in Chongming Hall."

Song Mingli's breathing stagnated, his heart felt as if it was cut, and memories came flooding back.

In his previous life, Gu Qingshan left home for seven years, but when he returned he brought back a pair of children.

He lied that he was the child of his cousin, but his cousin's family was no longer around.

Thanks to his cousin's care, he brought his cousin's child back and raised him well.

It was ridiculous that she actually believed it, thinking that Gu Qingshan was a kind man who valued friendship and treated the two children as his own.

Later, it was for their future, and also because Jingyou's brain was damaged by a high fever...

He adopted them under his own name and gave them the status of legitimate children.

She treated them with all her heart and did her best to educate them.

But when she was dying, they called Su Yi mother...

He also said that he wished she was dead!

Song Mingli raised her hand and pressed her chest. She would never make the same mistake again in her life.

She wants to make the Gu family who deceived and used her pay the price!

Song Mingli looked at Jingyou with concern, "Jingyou, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Jingyou shook his head, "No, I'm just a little hungry."

Song Mingli asked the maid to bring snacks to Jingyou while reminding his son, "Don't go to the waterside to play these days, remember?"

Jingyou didn't ask why and nodded obediently.

But Song Mingli was still worried. In his previous life, Jingyou fell into the water and had a fever not long after Gu Qingshan came back.

This fever lasted for three days and burned my brain...

Song Mingli called her maid Zi Su and said, "Bring Molan back and place her beside Jingyou."

Like Molan and Zisu, both were maids carefully selected by her parents for her dowry.

Zi Su is good at taking care of household affairs, and although Mo Lan is a woman, she has good kung fu.

Zi Su was surprised and delighted when she heard this, "Miss, have you figured it out? Are you finally going to transfer Mo Lan back?"

Song Mingli smiled ashamedly, "Yes, I listened to my mother-in-law's orders before. I was confused."

Zi Su was a little nervous, "If Madam knew, would it embarrass you?"

Song Mingli snorted, "Why should my maidservant who came with my dowry work on the Gu family's farm?"

Song Mingli held Zi Su's hand, his eyes firm, "Zi Su, you followed me to marry into the General's Mansion, I am your master, I should protect you everywhere...

"I was too weak before... and that caused you to suffer so much injustice along with me!"

"Miss! What's the point of asking for trouble? It's our blessing to be able to serve you!"

After all the grievances she had suffered over the years were seen, Zi Su's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red.

"I won't do that again!" Song Mingli squeezed her hand vigorously. "I've figured it out. I can't rely on others. Only by being self-reliant can I live a good life and protect the people around me!"

"Yeah!" Zi Su nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes.

I don't know how the lady suddenly figured it out...

But in the past seven years, the young lady has been humble and submissive in the Gu family, swallowing her anger, putting herself in a difficult position and accommodating others... She saw it all and it hurt her heart!

I hope the lady has really thought it through and stood up!

Song Mingli smiled and said, "Why are you still crying? Go and call Molan back to me!"

"Hey!" Zi Su quickly agreed, still a little worried, "If Madam asks..."

Song Mingli smiled coldly, "If she doesn't ask, then fine. But if she does, I'll have to settle accounts with her for the past seven years!"

Looking at his young lady so confident and sure, it was as if the young lady who was as dazzling as the morning sun in the general's mansion was back again!

A surge of strength suddenly rose in Zi Su's heart, "I'll do it right away!"

Molan is good at kung fu, so Song Mingli can feel more at ease if she stays by Jingyou's side.

Moreover, in her previous life, Molan was loyal to her. After Gu Qingshan came back, Molan found a way to transfer back to the manor.

I wonder if she discovered Gu Qingshan's secret, but she was murdered and died in an unclear way...

In this life, she will definitely protect the people around her!

"Young Madam, the prince is back! The old lady asks you to go to Chongming Hall!" The maid from the outer courtyard reported in an excited and anxious voice.

"understood."

Song Mingli responded calmly, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped the snack crumbs from the corner of Jingyou's mouth.

Only then did she put on her shoes and socks, holding Jingyou's hand, and walked towards the old lady's Chongming Hall.

Jingyou turned his head from time to time and looked at her curiously.

"What's wrong? Is there a flower on mother's face?" Song Mingli asked with a smile.

"Daddy hasn't been home for seven years, and he suddenly comes back. Shouldn't Mom dress up?"

Song Mingli paused, her heart ached, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In her previous life, she really dressed up carefully, but what was the result?

He ended up being cheated, exploited, and murdered.

Song Mingli squatted down, looked at Jingyou seriously and said, "Jingyou, you must remember, never compromise yourself just to please others. Just be yourself, and you will live up to your life!"

Jingyou nodded with bright and clear eyes, "I remember, mother!"

……

Gu Qingshan was kneeling in front of the old lady in Chongming Hall.

Behind him stood two children, a boy and a girl.

The boy was about the same age as Jingyou, about six or seven years old, and the girl was slightly shorter, about four or five years old.

Mrs. Gu, Sun, who was standing by, felt sorry for her son but also wanted to hug the two children.

She couldn't help but say to the old lady sitting in the upper seat, "Mother, Shan'er has realized his mistake! He has brought you a pair of smart and lovely great-grandchildren. Please tell him to get up!"

Madam Gu snorted, "How can you be worthy of the girl from the Song family by doing this! She also gave birth to a son for you! She serves your parents-in-law and manages this big family!"

Gu Qingshan and his mother looked at each other, and Madam Gu shook her head at him.

Gu Qingshan said with a sullen face, "I didn't want to marry her, but you forced me to do it! I only have Su Yi in my heart!"

"Then why did you come back?!" the old lady said angrily.

“Huai’er should go to school,” Gu Qingshan raised his eyes and said, “How can a teacher in the countryside be as good as one in the capital? I have been delayed by you, Huai’er cannot be delayed again!”
