Looking at his mother, Xuanyuan Yexiao was so shocked that he was speechless.

Yu Ji smiled and said, "As a mother, I understand my son's heart best. When Baili Feng came to visit me, I saw your love for him. Xiao'er, I want to tell you that Baili Feng is a good man. If you can get him, you will be happy.

But if you can’t… Mother hopes you can look forward and not be depressed. Mother doesn’t want you to be sad for the rest of your life.”

Xuanyuan Yexiao stared at his mother blankly and asked tremblingly, "Mom, you...you don't blame me?"

Yu Ji smiled dotingly, "Silly child, how could I blame you? If you say so, then with my lowly status, won't I ever be able to love a man as upright as your father?

Love knows no distinctions of high or low, age, or gender. When love arrives, sometimes it's unstoppable. Although your father died young, and your life in the Xuanyuan Mansion isn't as good as it was in the brothel, I've never regretted it a single day in my life. This is love.

So I understand you. If you hadn't loved so deeply, you wouldn't be in such pain. Now that you can't get the love you want, I can only encourage you to bravely pursue your true love. But I also want to advise you that sometimes love doesn't always pay off. If you find that your efforts are not rewarded, I hope you won't be affected by your inner demons.

Yu Ji smiled and said, "In fact, sometimes loving someone doesn't necessarily mean you have to be with him. As long as the love in your heart remains unchanged, it is a happy thing for you if the other person is happy. Since you love him, do your best to make him happy. As long as he is happy, even if you can't have him, you will be happy too."

Yu Ji's words made Xuanyuan Yexiao suddenly enlightened.

Yes, why bother to keep worrying about whether Baili loves him, and whether he can accept his love in return? He loves Baili and wants to give him everything, and that's enough. If Baili can be happy, I believe he will be happy too. Even if I can't get it, as long as he gets the happiness he wants, and see him happy, wouldn't I be happy?

There were footsteps outside the yard. Yu Ji's heart trembled, and she immediately urged, "Xiao'er, someone is coming, hurry up!"

Xuanyuan Yexiao frowned. He hadn't expected that even though he'd been so secretive, he'd still be discovered. He dropped the previous topic and said, "Mom, let's go. I absolutely won't leave unless you do. If you insist on not leaving, the worst that can happen is that your son will die with you today!"

Today he has made up his mind. No matter how his mother refuses, he has only one thing to say: Let's live together and die together!

Yu Ji smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Silly son! How could I not understand your character? If I let you go, I will definitely find a way to force you to go. I am already satisfied to see you one last time before I die. Remember, if one day you and Baili Feng can be together, you must give him the jade pendant that I gave you.

I don't have anything valuable on me except the jade pendant your father gave me. I wish you happiness and joy... until old age... Also, don't be sad about me. I... will be very happy with your father..."

"Mom..." Xuanyuan Yexiao stared at his mother blankly. He was clearly still listening to her talk about the jade pendant and Baili Feng, but as she spoke,
