After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"Good, good, good."

I never thought that I, Du Sanniang, would still be alive and well enough to drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea.

The excited Du Sanniang could not help but shed two lines of turbid tears. She stretched out her trembling hand, held the teacup that Li Shiliu dared not let go with great effort, and leaned over to take a sip carefully.

The sweet tea slid down her throat into her stomach, sweetening Du Sanniang's heart.

Du Sanniang, who didn't dare to drink more, signaled to the nanny standing beside her to take the tea, then took off a nice bracelet from her skinny wrist and gently put it on Li Shiliu's white wrist.

"This is something passed down from our ancestors. It's not a particularly good thing and may not be pleasing to Princess Sheng An, but it's a token of my love. I hope you won't despise it."

"What are you saying, mother-in-law? This is a token of your love! How could I despise it?" Li Shiliu said hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, you are a good and sensible child. Mammy, go and get my dowry box."

"Yes, ma'am." The nanny responded and turned to leave.

After a while, an elderly nanny came in carrying an exquisite rosewood box.

This nanny has been with Du Sanniang since she was a child. She has been loyal and devoted to serving Du Sanniang all her life. Although she is old now, she is still very strong.

Reaching out her hand and stroking the old patterns on the rosewood box with some nostalgia, Du Sanniang sighed deeply, and then with a little reluctance, she solemnly placed the not-so-big box in Li Shiliu's hands.

"I don't have much time left to live, I know it very well." Du Sanniang's voice was filled with a hint of sadness and helplessness, as if she had already seen through the arrangement of fate.

"It is a blessing for me, Du Sanniang, to be able to drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea in my lifetime." She smiled slightly, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, but then it was covered by endless loneliness.

"This is my dowry. After I paid back the 30 taels of silver owed to the treasury for Duke Yue's mansion, there aren't many valuable things left. They are all old stuff. Keeping them here will only add to my sadness.

Princess Sheng'an, I'll leave these things to you for safekeeping." Du Sanniang patted the box gently, as if saying goodbye to her past self.

Li Shiliu looked at Du Sanniang in front of her, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She said softly: "Don't think too much, take a good rest, and take care of your health.

It is better to keep the things you value yourself."

Li Shiliu gently pushed the box next to her away, wanting to refuse this valuable gift, but Du Sanniang stretched out her thin hand to stop her.

"I know you are a kind child, but these things have no meaning to me. I hope they can find a good home, and you are the best candidate in my mind.

As for my son Wenjie, he has a weak character and has not had a comfortable life in this mansion. I know that under his father's favoritism, Wenjie can't protect anything.

I’m afraid that if the things are given to Wenjie, they will soon fall into the hands of Li Yue’er and her son.

Don't refuse it." Du Sanniang's eyes were firm and gentle, making it impossible for Li Shiliu to refuse.

Li Shiliu bit her lip and nodded in the end. She took the box and felt the weight in her hand was heavy, as if it carried Du Sanniang's life memories and emotions.
