Chapter 469 Min Rong's Nightmare
In the Dali Temple prison, Min Rong also received news that he would be executed along with the rest of the Min family in three days.
Naturally, he also learned that Qiao Qinghe had moved to the Qiao family mansion in the southern part of the city with his wife and children, and that he planned to change his surname and be included in the Qiao family genealogy on the day of his execution.
At that moment, he felt only irony, bitterness, indignation, sadness, and unbearable pain.
It was on this night that he began to dream, in which he was happy and content, with a harmonious family and a bright future.
His mother, Qiao Qinghe, controlled the entire Marquis's mansion.
He didn't have to worry about anything; his mother took care of everything for him.
But gradually, the dream changed.
In his dream, he was no longer satisfied with the status quo.
He began to resent his mother for being too controlling and wanted to overtake her and take charge of the Marquis's mansion.
Therefore, he instigated Wu to fight for power with her mother, stirred up Min Hui's hatred for her mother, and even made his daughter resent her grandmother who had doted on her because of his ambiguous words...
Finally, these people joined forces and murdered the mother.
He, however, remained hidden behind the scenes.
My mother is dead.
He appeared to be crying his heart out, but inside he was overjoyed.
Because finally, no one was controlling him anymore! He also got the power over the entire Marquis's mansion as he had wished!
However……
His joy lasted only until his mother's burial.
It turns out it was all a scheme within a scheme!
He was plotting against his own mother.
Others are plotting against him, plotting against the entire Xuanping Marquis's mansion!
He witnessed the confiscation of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion, saw himself imprisoned, and even watched his head roll...
I had a dream on and off for three days.
He awoke from his dream with a start, just as dawn was breaking, after his own head had been severed.
"Mother! I want to see Mother!... Guards! I want to see Lady Qinghe! Guards! I want to see Lady Qinghe!"
"Let her come see me! I am her son! I am her only son! Please help me pass on a message to her, say that I want to see her one last time before I die!"
"Please! Please!..."
Min Rong's shouts echoed throughout the Dali Temple prison.
Are the dreams I've had these past few days real?
Did my mother have the same dream?
All the changes started three years ago when Min Yuexi broke off her engagement with Lu Ming...
Was it during that time that my mother had that dream?
Knowing that they would all conspire to kill her, she allowed her maids to pursue illusory love, allowed Min Yuexi to break off the engagement, allowed Wu to manage the household and take concubines, and allowed the Xuanping Marquis's mansion to become a mess!
Because they broke her heart, she no longer cares about any of them in this life. She can cruelly watch them fall and die.
Ironically, without his mother's restraint, he became a complete failure in this life!
The Marquis's mansion is ruined, his reputation is gone, his daughter hates him, and his mother has severed ties with him. Now, even his sons are going to change their surnames!
How many stupid things did he do to end up in this state?
He regretted it!
He desperately wanted to see his mother, to confess to her, and to ask her if she had the same dream as him.
Ask her if everything in her dream was real.
Ask her if she can still forgive him...
"Someone come here! I want to see Madam Qinghe! I want to see Madam Qinghe! Please, please pass on a message for me!..."
The desperate shouting never stopped. It started at dawn and continued until dusk, a full hour later.
Finally, he heard a jailer say, "Fine, since you're about to die, I'll be kind enough to run the errand for him."
"Thank you! Thank you!..." He thanked them frantically, bowing repeatedly. The once arrogant Marquis of Xuanping's mansion was now as humble as a joke.
But he didn't care. He would do anything to see his mother one more time.
However, an hour later, the jailer returned. But the person he wanted to see was not with him.
"Won't she come to see me? Even in her last moments before she died, she wouldn't come to see me?..."
Min Rong closed her eyes, feeling utterly dejected.
Yes, why should his mother come to see him?
In my past life, he was the one who killed my mother!
In this life, he has disobeyed his mother time and time again!
During their last meeting before he went to prison, he even tried to strangle his mother with his own hands!
If it weren't for someone secretly protecting her, my mother would have died at his hands back then!
What makes him think that his mother will come to see him just because he wants to see her?
Where does he get his confidence from?
At that moment, tears finally burst forth.
"I heard that you wanted to see me one last time before you died?"
Just when Min Rong was feeling utterly hopeless, a familiar yet cold voice suddenly rang in her ears.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the prison.
Then, Qiao Qinghe, dressed in a magnificent second-rank imperial robe, was slowly walking towards him, supported by two maids.
"Mother! You, you've come!?" Min Rong rushed towards the corridor.
He clung tightly to the iron bars, his eyes fixed intently on Qiao Qinghe.
Qiao Qinghe walked up expressionlessly and stopped three steps away from Min Rong.
"You called me here because you have something to say?" Her tone was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if the person in front of her was not her son, but a stranger.
“Mother…” Min Rong’s heart clenched suddenly, and tears streamed down his face from the pain.
Qiao Qinghe frowned and asked sarcastically, "What are you trying to do by putting on this act? Ha, you're not about to die, are you? You still hope I'll save your life?"
Qiao Qinghe scoffed, "I advise you to save your breath. I don't have the ability to save you!"
"Ha, besides, even if I did, I wouldn't save someone who wants to kill me!"
“Mother, I didn’t, I didn’t…” Min Rong tried anxiously to explain, but everything seemed so futile.
Qiao Qinghe didn't give him a chance to explain, and said impatiently, "I have to rush back to the manor to hold the ancestral worship ceremony. I don't have much time to waste with you. Just say what you have to say."
Min Rong felt another pang of pain in her heart.
He knew that his mother's so-called ancestral worship was no longer for the Min family's ancestors, but for the Qiao family's ancestors.
From this day forward, his wife and children will also become a true member of the Qiao family...
Seeing that Qiao Qinghe had completely lost patience and was about to turn and leave, Min Rong finally gathered his chaotic thoughts and quickly asked, "Mother, did you also have that dream?"
What dream?
Qiao Qinghe frowned, turned around, and looked at Min Rong with a puzzled expression.
"In the dream, Xi'er did not break off her engagement with Lu Ming. Madam Wu was not in charge of the household. You remained the pillar of the Marquis's mansion, firmly controlling it..."
"Enough!"
Before Min Rong could finish speaking, Qiao Qinghe interrupted him sharply.
She already knew what Min-young meant by the dream.
What's the point of asking these questions now?
Min Rong smiled sadly, "Mother really did dream about everything I dreamed about!"
"No wonder my mother started to change three years ago..."
"No wonder Mother could be so heartless as to abandon Xi'er, abandon me, and abandon everything in the Marquis's mansion!"
Qiao Qinghe looked coldly at Min Rong, "If you called me here just to confirm this matter, then I can tell you that it's not just me, Min Yuexi, oh no, now she's called Qiao Yuexi."
“It’s not just me, Qiao Yuexi had the same dream as you.”
Min Rong laughed, "No wonder Xi'er always unconditionally chooses my mother over me!"
