Chapter 110 My child and I are by your side
"Miss, didn't you hear clearly?"
Jinli helped Liu Fuying get up and took her to sit beside her.
"To put it more clearly, the general was sentenced to be executed in the autumn. He knew that he was not of the Shen family's bloodline, and he also knew that you were the old general's biological daughter. He was just afraid that it would be exposed and he was worried about losing face. That's why he was tired of you and never consummated the marriage with you. He also planned to kill you three years ago in Xiangshan by making you fall off the cliff. Unexpectedly, you were saved by Uncle Pei at the bottom of the cliff."
Jinli looked around.
"It is also said that General Shen often beat and scolded you, which made you heartbroken. You repeatedly proposed divorce but he refused. In order to repay Uncle Pei for saving your life, you often went to Uncle Pei's prison through the underground river. Gradually, you fell in love with him and had a child."
"Miss." Jin Li held her hand.
"This is a good thing. At least you can be with the uncle of the emperor openly in the future. No one will blame you for your past behavior. On the contrary, it may become an enviable story. Besides, the emperor has already issued an order to allow you to divorce the general and marry the uncle of the emperor."
Yes, all the mistakes were made by Shen Xiunian.
She, Liu Fuying, and Pei Zhouwu were two unfortunate victims who sympathized with each other and became a couple. No one would gossip about them in the future.
Even if there were voices, they always cursed Shen Xiunian more.
"But……"
At this time, Chen Xiunian became a hero.
Liu Fuying felt heavy in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling inside.
She tightly held the imperial edict in her hand, not wanting to express her opinion or show any emotion. She just wanted to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.
"Miss."
"Don't follow me, I want to be alone for a while."
Liu Fuying went to the backyard and sat alone next to the rockery behind the garden, carefully recalling the years she had spent as a "husband and wife" with Shen Xiunian since she married into the Shen family.
I thought about it for a long time, thinking about everything, but it seemed like I remembered nothing.
In the end, only sighs that are difficult to express are left.
It was not until she heard a startled scream from the front yard that she stood up and walked forward, pressing her legs which had gone numb from sitting. Only then did she realize that the old lady was dying. After waking up once just now, she was only breathing in but not out.
After all, she has raised her son for so many years, she should still have feelings for him.
She couldn't bear the shock when she heard the bad news that Shen Xiunian was going to die.
After arriving at the old lady's courtyard, the servants in the courtyard still regarded Liu Fuying as a life-saving straw as before, begging her to come in quickly to comfort the old lady.
This time, Liu Fuying came slowly and was not in a hurry.
"Old lady, please open your eyes and look. The lady is here to see you. Please hold on."
When the old lady heard that Liu Fuying had arrived, she indeed reacted.
She forced her eyelids open, her eyes a little dazed but she was trying hard to find Liu Fuying's figure.
"Ayin...where's Ayin?"
When she arrived at the bed, Liu Fuying no longer had the smiling face she used to have.
The servant made way for them as he hurried to check the medicine on the stove, so only Liu Fuying and the old lady were left in the room.
"Ayin, Ayin."
The old lady raised her arm and tried to grab Liu Fuying's hand.
But Liu Fuying's face was full of indifference, and he just stood there with cold eyes.
Seeing her like this, the old lady became so anxious that she seemed unable to breathe.
"Mother-in-law." Liu Fuying still called her that, but her tone was much colder than before. "I don't want to drink peanut soup anymore. Can you please stop making peanut soup for me in the future?"
The old lady waved her hands excitedly and tried to sit up.
"When I drink peanut soup, I get allergic reactions all over my body. In serious cases, I can't breathe. Mother-in-law, do you know that this can kill people?"
"I...Ayin likes peanut pork ribs soup the most. I'll make it for you..."
"Is it because I like to drink, or do you say you love me but in your subconscious you still want to kill me?" Liu Fuying raised his voice.
"What did you say?"
Every wrinkle on the old lady's face seemed to be trembling. The deepest thought in her heart that even she had been deceived by herself was suddenly dug out, and she was shocked herself.
"I don't care how you treated me in the past. I just want to ask you, how did my mother die?"
"W-what?"
"My mother, Zhuang Yunying!"
Liu Fuying leaned forward slightly, moved closer, looked into the old lady's eyes and asked word by word: "Did you kill my mother Zhuang Yunying? Also, did the sudden collapse of my maternal family have anything to do with you?"
"I, I, I, I don't know."
The old lady was so frightened that she almost passed out. She turned her head away and didn't dare to look at Liu Fuying.
"I don't know?" Liu Fuying smiled suddenly, and her smile was full of coldness. "You are old, and the people around you have left and died one by one. Chen Xiunian has also been fighting for many years, leaving you alone. You feel lonely and lonely. When you think back on your life at midnight, you feel regretful. You want to make amends, repent, and get redemption, but you just send me bowl after bowl of peanut soup. Why bother?"
The old lady had already forced herself to turn her back, and the quilt on her body could not cover her trembling body.
"Everyone is dead, my friends are dead, my husband is dead, my son is dying, and you are the only one alive. Why bother?"
"I...I know I was wrong."
The old lady muttered and trembled even more violently.
"I just wanted to win back Jin Ping's heart. I thought that as long as they disappeared, everything would be fine. I just had someone set fire to their house. I just wanted to scare them and make them give up and leave. I didn't mean to burn them to death. They were injured by the broken pillars and died in the fire. Don't blame me."
This “they” must be Xu Liangyin’s grandparents.
"You admit it?"
"I don't know, I don't know, I know nothing." The old lady held her head and kept repeating these words.
Liu Fuying raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her face.
"There's a funeral coming up in a few days, why don't you plan and bury it together?"
Liu Fuying finished speaking.
After she finished speaking, the old lady who was lying on the bed with her back turned and shivering suddenly stopped shivering.
Liu Fuying withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out the door.
She endured it all the way, and returned to Shuxing Courtyard at a leisurely pace. After she stepped into the gate and saw a figure in white standing in the courtyard, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Pei Zhouwu walked towards her quickly and hugged her tightly in his arms.
From last night till now, she had only shed a few tears. She originally thought that she could hold it in, but now she could no longer suppress it and finally burst into tears.
"Aying, don't be afraid, don't feel bad."
Pei Zhouwu hugged her tightly and stroked her back with his broad palms.
"I and the children are with you."
Xi'e and Xi Yun also ran out of the house, especially Xi Yun. Perhaps because she had never seen Liu Fuying cry like this before, she also started crying loudly.
Xi Xi also pouted, and while pulling Liu Fuying's clothes, she comforted her not to cry.
Liu Fuying came out from Pei Zhouwu's arms, squatted down, hugged the two children, and cried with them as if to vent her anger.
They cried.
Pei Zhouwu had no choice but to hold back her tears, otherwise no one would comfort her.
It was not until lunch time that the three of them slowly calmed down.
Xi'an was more relaxed, and Meimei was almost fine after having a meal. Xiyun, on the other hand, sat close to Liu Fuying, paying attention to see if she was crying again, as if she would cry with her immediately.
Pei Zhouwu was extremely busy. He had to pick up food for three people with one hand, coax one and comfort the other, and wipe Xi Xi's mouth. He was always running around.
Seeing him like this, Liu Fuying felt much better.
