"My mother left Funing City after giving birth to me. I don't know where she went, but she said she would come back."

Shi Qingmiao sounded relieved when she said this. As a member of the Helan family who had never been recognized, she was probably also looking forward to the day when her identity could be revealed to the public.

Jin Suting couldn't understand why a child born to a brothel girl could become a palace maid openly, while a child born to a mother who was six years older than her father would be despised and had to stay in the palace as a palace maid?

Perhaps if Shi Qingmiao's identity had not been concealed, she would not have so many concerns.

"This is why I can't leave Funing City. I have to wait for her to come back." Shi Qingmiao said calmly, as if she had repeated this sentence in her heart many times, "I have to wait for her to come back." She had never seen her mother since she was born, and when she grew up, she was taken directly into the palace.

It is really a sad thing to be unable to control the progress and direction of your life.

"What if she never comes back? Will you stay in Funing City for the rest of your life? Can't you marry someone you love? Will you not be able to have your own life?" Although it is not nice to say this and it hurts people's feelings, there is no such assumption. More than ten years have passed, and the person who made her leave Funing City has long passed away. No matter what the reason is, Shi Ruwan should come back.

"Everything is fine in Funing City. I've been quite happy these years." There was still a bit of chestnut cake on the corner of Shi Qingmiao's mouth, and the arc of her raised mouth just happened to wipe off the crumbs.

"You can only be truly happy if you spend your life with the person you love." Instead of being like this now, where you don't even have the right to like someone and you have to think over and over again whether to love or not.

"Like Sister Su?" Shi Qingmiao thought, if life was too hard and she had the chance to exchange lives with someone, she would definitely choose Jin Suting.
