"So, what about when you grow up?" Zhou Yan kept asking. He didn't want to be controlled by the Kong family.

"Even when you grow up, you can't move easily. Your soul will be shaken. Those with deep skills can endure it, but those with shallow skills can't withstand it and become demented or have their lifespan shortened. Some may even die on the spot. Don't try it lightly."

"Oh, Mom means I should work hard for the Kong family, right?"

Zhou Yan looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. "Mom, I like my aunt. She accepted me without any problem. She is not like the Kong family who despises me because I am an illegitimate child. She is not like the Kong family who treats me as a tool. Mom, can we find a way to get out of the Kong family? I like to be called Zhou Yan."

Kong Xianxian hugged her son distressedly, "I'm sorry, it's Mom who's sorry for you, but Mom has dedicated her entire life to the Kong family. It's impossible for her to leave the Kong family, and neither can you."

Zhou Xiang deliberately rolled Kong Xianxian over with a ball of mist, not only to vent his anger, but also to see Zhou Yan's attitude towards the conflict between him and his mother. He didn't expect to hear such an inside story.

With a thought, he appeared in front of Kong Xianxian, pulled Zhou Yan away from her arms, hugged the child tightly with heartache, raised his hand and slapped the woman opposite him twice.

"You are selfish and hypocritical. You risk your life for the Kong family, and that is your freedom. Why do you decide the future of your children?

Just three words of "I'm sorry" can make the child risk his life for the Kong family? Your "I'm sorry" is really worth a lot. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the child, if you weren't the child's biological mother, I would want to kill you immediately. You are not worthy of being a mother! "

"Aunt, aunt," Zhou Yan hugged his aunt's neck tightly, no, the area under her head, "Aunt, don't be angry, mom has her reasons."

Zhou Xiang restrained the fierce look on his face and gently rubbed Zhou Yan's head, "Don't be afraid! Auntie won't hurt Yan'er. She is your mother. At most, I will punish her, but I won't take her life.

No matter what her reasons were, she shouldn't have tied you to the Kong family's broken boat.

Don't worry about the natal lamp, Yan'er. Auntie will take care of it. You and Mom will live here for a while. Once Auntie takes care of the Kong family, you'll be free."

Zhou Yan immediately smiled, "Really? Can Auntie really solve the problem of the natal lamp?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Really? Be good and have fun here. I'll finish the things I'm doing."

"Okay! It's just that Mommy... can you give Mommy some of yours?"

"What?" Zhou Xiang had no idea what his nephew wanted.

"It's the thing you used to wake me up. It's very good and has vitality. It will definitely be useful to Mom."

Zhou Xiang looked at Kong Xianxian, who was lying on the ground stunned by his slap. "Look at how your son treats you. He wants to give you something good when he has it, hoping that you can continue your life."

Kong Xianxian put down her hands that were covering her face and raised her head. "No need. Medicine can't prolong my life."

Zhou Xiang scoffed, "You are not worthy of using my medicine."

He turned to look at his nephew in his arms and said, "Don't worry, as long as she stays here, she will live a very long time."

"Really?" Zhou Yan showed the most sincere smile after seeing his aunt.

Zhou Xiang nodded vigorously, “Really, everything can be left to Auntie, I don’t have time to chat now, wait for me.”

"Okay! Auntie, go get busy!"

Zhou Yan slid down his aunt's body and waved to her. Zhou Xiang also waved, "Be good and wait for me to come back!"

"OK."

Looking at his aunt who had disappeared, Zhou Yan walked over to his mother and squatted down.

"Mom, you won't leave me. I can have both a dad and a mom."

Kong Xianxian's mind was full of Zhou Xiang's words that he would live a very long time. When she heard her son's words, she suddenly hugged her son and burst into tears.

Is she finally free from the fear of her life fading so quickly? Is she finally free from the thought of living each day as if it were her last?

Zhou Yan patted his mother's back seriously. His mother was under a lot of pressure, more than anyone else in the Kong family. He knew that this time, his mother could finally unload the burden.

"Mom, it's beautiful here. There are grasslands, streams with fish in them, and so many dogs. I'll bring Dad in to accompany you, and we can be reunited here as a family of three."

Kong Xianxian raised her tearful eyes, but a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, "I don't know if your father can come in yet!"

"Yes! Dad must have been here. I saw a painting in his exhibition. It was a painting of the thatched cottage over there. Dad had been here before."

"Really? Why didn't I see it?"

"You only know how to look at the paintings up high. I saw a small painting down low, and it must be the thatched cottage over there. When I see Dad, I'll ask him if it's the one."

"Good! Your father will definitely be shocked to see you."

"Dad will like me, right?"

"Well! Your father has the purest and kindest heart."

"Mom, do you miss Dad too?"

Kong Xianxian wiped away her tears and picked up a painting at hand. "In my life, the person I owe the most is not the Kong family, nor you, but this man."

"Then be nicer to Dad."

“If there’s a chance, I will.”

Zhou wanted to wipe away the tears that inexplicably fell from the corners of her eyes. She didn't plan to tell Kong Xianxian so early, but Yan'er was worried, so she had to tell her in advance.

Looking at the way Kong Xianxian looks, does it mean that she has completely given up her devotion to the Kong family?

Looking at Yamazaki Masaru who was torturing the second young master Fujiwara, Zhou Xiang left the space first. Ling Ran had just cleaned up the scene, and flammable and explosive items were surrounding them.

Ling Ran looked at his wife's head, her eyes still red, and asked, "What's wrong?"
