Zhou Qiongyue only wanted to lie flat and chill—
Instead, she transmigrated into a novel she once read, full of backstabbing household drama.
Worse yet, she wasn’t even the heroine....
Yuan Chaokang was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this angle before. "My son will listen to Mother and take good care of himself. I will strive to live longer and be your son in the next life."
Yuan Chaochang cried so hard that he almost fainted.
Zhou Qiongyue smiled and livened up the atmosphere, "I'm just giving you some instructions for your funeral. It's not like you're going to die right now. Why are you two crying?"
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang looked at their mother again with eyes full of joy and surprise.
Zhou Qiongyue joked to herself, "I'm not your father, so I can't predict my own death so accurately!"
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her two stunned sons, thought for a moment and suggested, "Tomorrow, the two of you should come early, and the three of us will go to the place where your father left to watch the sunrise!
If I ever meet your father, I can talk to him about the difference in the sunrise after he left."
Both Yuan Chaochang brothers quickly agreed.
That day, neither of the Yuan Chaochang brothers was busy with their own affairs, but stayed with Zhou Qiongyue.
On the second day, the weather was good, and Zhou Qiongyue, her mother and her two sons watched a beautiful sunrise together. When the golden sunlight enveloped Zhou Qiongyue, her mother and her two sons, they watched a beautiful sunrise together.
Zhou Qiongyue urged the Yuan Chaochang brothers, "Kang'er, you should go to the palace now, otherwise it will be too late. You can't let the prince wait for you, right?
Chang'er, you're back, but you haven't reported to the palace yet! Why don't you do it today?
I have plenty of people around me to serve me! I don't need you two."
Although Yuan Chaochang and the other man wanted to accompany their mother, they couldn't delay the work at hand. They had no choice but to walk away, looking back every few steps.
Zhou Qiongyue watched the two brothers leave until the backs of Yuan Chaochang and his brother were completely out of sight. Then Zhou Qiongyue ordered the servants around her to help her back to the main courtyard.
After Zhou Qiongyue returned to the main courtyard, she did not do anything else but met with the servants around her one by one and arranged their future destinations according to their wishes.
For those who are willing to get married, Zhou Qiongyue will give them a dowry according to the rules. For those who want to work elsewhere, Zhou Qiongyue will also arrange it for them.
These people have served her well, and she sincerely hopes that they can live well after she leaves.
Once all of this is done, it’s time to take medicine and have lunch.
Zhou Qiongyue actually doesn't want to take medicine at all now. She knows that her body is no longer in good condition and any medicine will make a difference.
But if she didn't drink, a lot of people would worry about her. She didn't want to waste so many people's time because of her willfulness.
As usual, she took the bowl of medicine from Gu Le and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking the medicine, Zhou Qiongyue also asked the small kitchen to serve a full table of meals that she and the prince both liked. Zhou Qiongyue used a lot of them for the first time.
After lunch, she asked the servants to go outside and personally sorted out her cherished jewelry box, which was filled with all the jewelry Yuan Bohua had given her over the years.
She couldn't remember when Yuan Bohua gave her many of these things, but when she saw them, her heart was filled with happiness.
Zhou Qiongyue rummaged through the jewelry box with her hands, her mind immersed in it, and she didn't notice that there was a small cut on her wrist and blood was oozing out.
It was just absorbed by the bracelet she had been wearing on her hand, the bracelet that Yuan Bohua gave her for the first time.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at these jewels one by one, but she couldn't bear to give them away in the end, so she followed her youngest son's suggestion and buried them with her!
After reminiscing about the past, Zhou Qiongyue felt tired, so she asked the people waiting outside to help her wash up and take a nap.
Before falling asleep, Zhou Qiongyue reminded Gu Le, "I'm going to sleep for a while. If Chang'er comes back later, remember to call me."
Gu Le helped Zhou Qiongyue lie down and carefully covered her with a blanket before replying, "Master, don't worry. I'll call you when the prince comes back."
After Gu Le replied to Zhou Qiongyue, he did not leave. Instead, he brought an embroidered cushion and sat down beside Zhou Qiongyue's bed.
Zhou Qiongyue had been accustomed to someone guarding her bedside over the years, so she chose a comfortable position and fell asleep as usual.
At first, Gu Le saw that Zhou Qiongyue's breathing was steady, so he sat down on the embroidered cushion next to her with peace of mind. But after a while, when he went to check Zhou Qiongyue's breath, it was gone.
Gu Le shouted outside, "House doctor, quickly call the house doctor."
Gu Le kept calling "Old Princess", hoping to wake Zhou Qiongyue up.
When Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang learned the news, they were still in the palace.
This was the first time the prince saw his tutor, who always took everything in his eyes, lose his composure.
When Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang rushed back, the palace was already covered in white. The two men looked at the palace covered in white and couldn't stand still when they dismounted.
These matters in the palace were handled by Ren Xiyu, who had received the news and came to the palace to preside over the overall situation. At this time, she could no longer care about any rules or regulations.
Ren Xiyu also cried very sadly. Over the years, her mother-in-law had been really good to her. She also really regarded her mother-in-law as her own mother.
Ren Xiyu saw her elder brother and the prince coming back, wiped her tears, and went out to greet them, saying in a hoarse voice: "Eldest brother, prince, mother is gone!"
After Ren Xiyu finished her greetings, she stepped aside. She did not follow them in, and even asked the children to kneel in the yard.
Ren Xiyu left the time she had alone with her mother to the Yuan Chaochang brothers.
At this time, Zhou Qiongyue was still lying on the bed. Ren Xiyu did not ask anyone to clean her up, and she still looked the same as at the beginning.
At first glance, Zhou Qiongyue seemed to be asleep, with a smile on her face, perhaps she was having a sweet dream.
Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang knelt firmly on the ground, bowed deeply, and said with a sob, "Son, respectfully bids farewell to your mother!"
At this time, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were both crying with tears and snot.
In the end, Yuan Chaochang was the first to recover. He wiped the tears from his face and comforted his second brother beside him, "Don't cry, second brother. Let's let Mother go in peace!"
She has lived alone for so many years and she misses her father.
And we both need to be well and live longer, otherwise we won’t have the chance to be your mother’s child in the next life.”
Yuan Chaochang was also very sad, but one of him and his younger brother had to be strong. Besides, his mother was gone, and he only had his second younger brother left.
Yuan Hanyu: After all, we are still redundant.
Yuan Chaokang's hands were shaking from crying, but he still raised his hands to wipe away his tears. He didn't want to make his elder brother worry.
My eldest brother has been timid since he was a child. If something happens to him again, he will probably be scared.
Yuan Chaokang raised his hand and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder, "I'll listen to you, eldest brother."
Yuan Chaokang only comforted Yuan Chaochang with this sentence, and then said to his mother on the bed: "Mother, I will listen to you and live well.
You have to wait for me and my elder brother, and you can't have other children first.
Otherwise, we'll have a fight."
Yuan Chaokang's tone was full of reluctance, he really wanted to follow his mother.
However, the mother is the mother, and even death knows how to control him. She knows that he does not want to be an estranged person from the mother, nor does he want to be someone else's son. He only wants to be the mother's son.
