Wang Ying finally walked out of the small dark room, and Xu Xinning's voice became clearer and clearer. However, it seemed that there were other people around, so even though Wang Ying was awake, she did not open her eyes.

Her years of experience as a secret agent made her very cautious.

Shao Baixuan stayed in the ward for a while before leaving. After all, Wang Ying's case was handled by Old Master Jiang's department, and Shao Baixuan only had the right to listen in.

Wang Ying watched Shao Baixuan's departing figure, lost in thought.

The Wu and Shao families lived not far apart and could be considered neighbors. After Wang Ying took over her sister's identity, she often saw Shao Baixuan's two children.

Shao Baixuan's two children are very naughty.

There was a tree outside the Wu family's courtyard. The two children would often climb up the tree and sit there, and sometimes they would use a slingshot to shoot at people below. It was said that the slingshot was made by Shao Baixuan.

Wang Ying thought that Shao Baixuan must be an extremely doting person, otherwise why would he make a slingshot for his daughter to play with?

I've also met Shao Baixuan's wife, Wang Ying. She's a very beautiful woman with fair skin and an outstanding demeanor.

After seeing Shao Baixuan's wife, Wang Yingcai understood why Shao Baixuan doted on his child so much; he must love his wife very much.

I heard the couple also has a younger son. With two daughters and a son, they are truly enviable.

When Xu Xinning turned around, she saw Wang Ying staring blankly at the door. She happily went over and removed the silver needles from Wang Ying's head.

While taking Wang Ying's pulse, Xu Xinning asked, "Auntie, how are you feeling?"

Wang Ying looked at Xu Xinning and smiled, saying, "You gave me the medicine, right? As soon as the medicine entered my body, I felt warm and comfortable. Thank you, little girl!"

Xu Xinning took Wang Ying's hand and said, "Auntie, I should thank you! You've saved me twice already."

Wang Ying held Xu Xinning's hand and said, "Auntie has said it before, in my heart you are my daughter. It is only natural for a mother to save her daughter. As long as you are alright, even if it costs me my life, I will be happy."

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, this is not fair to Jianguo."

Wang Ying felt conflicted when Chen Jianguo was mentioned.

She felt guilty towards Chen Jianguo, guilty for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother, and even more guilty for the awkwardness of his identity. She hoped he would never know his true origins.

She knew Chen Ping well; he was a very responsible person. Needless to say, he didn't know that Chen Jianguo wasn't his biological son yet. Even if he did, given his personality, he would still raise Chen Jianguo as his own son.

Wang Ying felt a pang of pain in her heart whenever she thought of Chen Ping.

She felt sorry for this man and also betrayed his sincerity towards her. If only she had realized her feelings for him sooner, she could have made amends to him in some way.

Wang Ying patted Xu Xinning's hand and laughed, "There's no such thing as fair or unfair. Jianguo is a boy, so he should be as cheerful and resilient as Lao San. If he were also a girl, I would spoil him just like I spoil you."

Xu Xinning laughed: "If Jian Guo knew, he'd probably be incredibly jealous!"

Wang Ying smiled, then suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Have you dug anything out?"

Xu Xinning nodded.

Wang Ying: "My sister's short life was not easy. She was a simple person, and her heart was only for her husband. It's a pity that she was born at the wrong time, and even such a small wish could not be fulfilled."

Xu Xinning: "Auntie, do you know where Second Aunt is buried?"

Wang Ying nodded and said, "I still have some influence. Although I wasn't in good health back then, I still brought my sister's ashes back. I knew she wanted to be close to her husband, so I buried her in the Wu family's courtyard so she could see him often."

Xu Xinning and Mu Jingheng were both surprised. They never expected that Wang Ying would bury the second daughter-in-law of the Wu family in the Wu family's courtyard. If she hadn't said anything, perhaps no one would have ever known.

Just as Xu Xinning and the others were talking about Wu's second son's wife, Wu's second son arrived.

Since learning of his wife's true feelings for him last night, Wu's second son hasn't slept well at all. He keeps recalling the little things they did together, but he can't remember much.

He hated this marriage that had been manipulated, so he avoided it whenever possible, whether he was at the grassroots level or back in Kyoto, and spent most of his time in the military.

His comrades used to laugh at him, saying that he was married but it was like he wasn't.

Their relationship improved last year, but perhaps she was no longer the same person then, because he could sense that her attitude towards him had changed.

Judging from what was written in the notebook, she must have been very afraid that getting too close to him would harm him, so he deduced that the change should have started with a change of personnel.

Wu's second son was very depressed. He regretted treating someone who was sincere to him like that, and he also felt sorry for this poor woman. Her illness must have been caused by the things on her mind.

For a simple person, what kind of torment is it to keep such a secret in their heart and think about how to protect their loved one every day?

Last night, Wu's second son was thinking about what he would have done if she had told him the truth earlier.

Perhaps they would be happy to hand her over to the relevant authorities?

In this way, he will feel relieved and can also avenge himself for being schemed against.

If that really happens, will he regret it?

The second son of the Wu family couldn't imagine what he was feeling.

He would probably feel relieved if he hadn't seen what she had recorded, but it's hard to say if he had.

They say that even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. Thinking about it, I realize that I wasn't completely without feelings for her, otherwise, how could I have slept with her?

When Wu's second son arrived, he brought food. As soon as he entered the ward and saw that Wang Ying was awake, he glanced at her awkwardly before starting to set out the food.

He feels very awkward whenever he sees Wang Ying with his wife's face.

She's clearly the sister-in-law, but her face is that of her own daughter-in-law. Who can understand this feeling?

Mu Jingheng stood up to help, and as soon as he saw the food that Wu Lao Er brought out, he knew that it was made by the family's housekeeper.

Mu Jingheng glanced at Wu Lao Er, and it seemed that this man had gone to his father to pour out his heart.

It has to be said that the second son of the Wu family and his father are truly brothers in misfortune.

Oh, and there's also Jiang Juecheng's father. I don't know which deity these three have offended, but none of their marriages are normal.

After setting out the food, Wu's second son glanced at Wang Ying quickly and discreetly, then said to Mu Jingheng, "Auntie made all of this for the girl. She was worried she'd be hungry, so she urged me to bring it over. Otherwise, I would have had a good drink with your dad and your Uncle Jiang!"

Mu Jingheng thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

Xu Xinning helped Wang Ying up and poured her a glass of water.
