Unlike his previous awakenings, the moment the light entered his vision, Jiang Shijing felt his mind become completely clear.
For so many years, his mind has been shrouded in a fog, even obscuring his vision, leaving him confused and unable to understand or see things clearly.
But now, that layer of fog has been lifted, revealing the true nature of the matter.
He had never been this lucid before.
Jiang Shijing sat up in bed, looked around at everything, and then looked at his reflection in the mirror.
He is now seventeen years old, but in his memory, it seems that he is still ten years old. He has crossed so many years in one go, and he feels like he has wasted his time.
Jiang Shijing walked from the house to the courtyard, his hair disheveled and his clothes untied. He looked just as disheveled as before.
But the look in his eyes was different.
He recalled his experiences over the years and the people around him, feeling a turbulent storm in his heart and a chill run down his spine.
He was constantly in an insecure environment, being manipulated and schemed against.
His food was poisoned; the slow-acting poison seeped into his internal organs without him realizing it, clouding his mind and causing him to fall from grace, turning him from the pride of his family into a disgrace.
Jiang Shijing was an extremely intelligent person. After completely eliminating the toxins and restoring his health, he suddenly understood many things.
Thinking of his mother, who was now neither human nor ghost, Jiang Shijing immediately took a step and headed towards the courtyard of Princess Shouguang.
He should have tidied himself up, but to avoid arousing suspicion, he remained in this disheveled state, his steps slightly unsteady.
Qiao Lian'er thought, Jiang Shijin truly deserves to be called a chosen one of heaven; he understood everything as soon as he was rescued.
It was worth all the time and effort the medical team put in.
Pei Shijiu said in the space: "Jiang Shijing is not weak-willed. It's just that he was too vulnerable when he was young and was tricked by others. As long as one person in the eldest branch can take charge, the road ahead will become smoother."
"Let's see what he does," Qiao Lian'er said.
Princess Shouguang has been restless these past two days, her mind filled with thoughts of Yunzhou and Xiamei Village.
But in order to see her daughter, she tried her best to eat and sleep well, so that she wouldn't not make it to that day.
Seeing her son, with his disheveled hair, enter the yard and barely able to walk, she felt a pang of sadness.
The daughter may be suffering in the remote countryside, and the son looks like this.
As a mother, she was imprisoned and barely able to take care of herself, let alone protect her two children; she was truly a failure.
"Mother." Jiang Shijing walked into the pavilion and half-squatted, half-knelt beside Princess Shouguang.
Princess Shouguang sighed and reached out to stroke his cheek.
“Jing’er, you haven’t seen your father in a long time. Get ready and go to pay your respects to him morning and evening. Look how hard-working your two younger brothers are. Your father hasn’t mentioned you in a long time.”
Although the master no longer held any hope for his eccentric son, Shi Jing still recognized her as his mother and looked at her with affection, much more so than Jiang Shuxue.
