However, she was not looking at herself, but another person in the mirror.

She smiled shyly.

This was the first time in their many years of marriage that both of their images were reflected in the mirror.

She was happy and shy.

When she came to her senses, Tang Liuzhao discovered that the skin on the backs of her hands holding the bronze mirror had not only become tenderer but also whiter, and her ten fingers had returned to the slender and smooth texture of her girlhood.

She raised her hands and looked at them again and again with joy: "The skin on my hands has become softer."

Mu Qinyi pointed at the bronze mirror and said, "Look at your face again."

Tang Liuzhao picked up the bronze mirror and looked at herself. The fine wrinkles on her face disappeared, and her skin became smooth and elastic, as if she had returned to the age of seventeen.

"Oh my god, I really look younger."

She turned her head to look at Mu Qinyi, but saw that he was staring at her intently. She blushed immediately: "Husband, why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Qinyi said calmly: "Seeing you getting younger reminds me of the first time I met you. Time flies so fast. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Tang Liuzhao looked shy and said, "Yes, in the blink of an eye we have become an old married couple."

"In the blink of an eye, Nan Nan has grown from a little baby into a young girl, old enough to get married and have children."

Tang Liuzhao's face froze.

Why are you mentioning Mu Nanjin again?

Mu Qin placed his right hand on Tang Liuzhao's head.

This was the first time he took the initiative to touch her. Tang Liuzhao shyly lowered her head again: "Husband..."

Mu Qinyi said, "Tang Liuzhao, I have deliberately revealed many flaws over the years to let you know that I am not the Mu Qinyi that the Tang family knows. This is to let you know that there is no love between you and me, let alone the reality of being husband and wife. I married you only to better hide my identity."

Tang Liuzhao noticed that he wanted to tear off his last disguise, and his face looked particularly ugly: "Don't say it, I don't know what you are talking about."

"I understand if you want to blame me, hate me, or want to kill me. After all, I did something wrong. But Nan Nan was still a little kid at the time and didn't know anything about these things. Why did you hire a killer to kill her? Why did you take your anger out on an innocent person?"

Suddenly, Mu Qinyi tightened his five fingers and injected spiritual power into Tang Liuzhao's brain.

"ah--"

Tang Liuzhao screamed.

Her head felt like it was going to explode, and the pain was so severe that she wished she could kill herself with a knife.

Tang Liuzhao hurriedly tried to push Mu Qinyi's hand away, but the other party held her head tightly: "Ayi, it hurts so much, please let me go."

Mu Qinyi said indifferently: "Tang Liuzhao, you shouldn't touch her."

Tang Liuzhao cried bitterly: "Ayi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hired a killer to kill Mu Nanjin. I was really wrong. Please let me go. Someone, help me, help me."

Mu Qinyi remained indifferent.

No one came to rescue Tang Liuzhao.

She was scared and desperate, and she especially regretted falling in love with such a cruel man.

"Ayi, I hired assassins to kill Mu Nanjin, but they didn't hurt her at all. Isn't Mu Nanjin fine now? Please don't kill me, don't kill me."

Tang Liuzhao was in so much pain that he was about to faint, but he kept begging for mercy.

"I will never dare to touch Mu Nanjin again. Please don't kill me. Please..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, and only when she completely fainted did Mu Qinyi let go of her hand.

If anyone else had touched Mu Nanjin, he would have killed that person long ago.

But he promised not to blame Tang Liuzhao, and the incident was indeed caused by him, so no matter how angry he was, he could not take Tang Liuzhao's life.

Mu Qin sighed silently.

Originally, he could have let Tang Liuzhao erase everything about him painlessly.

But when he thought of the fact that she had hired a killer to assassinate Mu Nanjin, he used the most painful way to make her forget him.

"Tang Liuzhao, I am sorry for you. You will live well without me in the future."

Mu Qinyi left the room.

The next morning, the Tang family held a funeral for Tang Liuzhao.

At the same time, in a carriage outside the capital, Jiang Zhenru looked at the sleeping Tang Liuzhao with a complicated expression.

I have to say that the medicine given by Mu Qinyi is really magical. It restored Tang Liuzhao to his appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old overnight.

"ah--"

Suddenly, Tang Liuzhao sat up.

Jiang Zhenru was frightened by her: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Tang Liuzhao grabbed his clothes at his chest and gasped for breath. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

She looked up and saw Jiang Zhenru's face. She was stunned: "Sister-in-law? You are the sister-in-law?"

Jiang Zhenru said happily: "A Zhao, you finally woke up?"

"Sister-in-law, you, you..." Tang Liuzhao looked at the fishtail pattern at the corners of her eyes, then at the few strands of white hair on her temples, and said in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, how come you have aged?"

Jiang Zhenru pretended to be surprised: "You don't remember?"

Tang Liuzhao was puzzled: "Remember what?"

"You fell and hit your head, then passed out."

Jiang Zhenru quickly took out a piece of silk and covered her face with it, crying, "I have been unconscious for sixteen years."

This was the excuse that Tang Wenzong and his men had thought of last night. Only in this way could they deceive Tang Liuzhao.

"Sixteen years?" Tang Liuzhao's eyes widened. "I was unconscious for such a long time? But why didn't I feel anything? I don't even remember hitting my head."

She touched her head and felt no pain.

But sixteen years have passed, and even the most serious injuries would have healed long ago.

"The doctor said that you hit your head, so you may not remember the past when you wake up. You are lucky that you still remember me as your sister-in-law." Jiang Zhenru pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, held her hand and asked: "Do you remember your eldest brother and your parents-in-law?"

Tang Liuzhao nodded: "I remember everything before I was seventeen."

Jiang Zhenru breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to remember, it's good to remember. In order to avoid any sequelae, it's better for us to go to Jiangnan to see a doctor."

Tang Liuzhao looked around and asked, "Are we in a carriage now?"

"Yes."

Tang Liuzhao leaned against the wall of the car and murmured, "Sister-in-law, you said I was in a coma for sixteen years, so I am already in my thirties now? How did I suddenly become so old?"

She couldn't accept that she had grown so old in the blink of an eye.

"Not old, not old at all." Jiang Zhenru took out the bronze mirror she had prepared early in the morning and showed it to her: "Look for yourself."

Tang Liuzhao looked in the mirror and found that the person in it looked exactly the same as she did more than ten years ago. She had not aged at all. "How could I not have aged after more than ten years?"

"We also find it very strange, and it's really unbelievable. In order to prevent people from treating you as a monster, we have announced to the public that Tang Liuzhao is dead. When you return to the capital in a while, you will go back as Jingrui's cousin." Jiang Zhenru asked her tentatively: "Do you think this is okay?"

Tang Liuzhao could only find a new identity to remarry into a good family in the capital.

"What else can we do besides this?" Tang Liuzhao did not object: "I am lucky to be able to save my life."

Jiang Zhenru asked worriedly, "What is your last memory of sixteen years ago?"

Tang Liuzhao thought hard and said, "I remember it was just after Jingrui's seventh birthday."

Jiang Zhenru could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
